Abstract

Biodegradation of vanous medium-chain-length polyhydroxyalkanoates (MCL-PHAs) by an extracellular depolymerase system from Pseudomonas sp. RY-1 was investigated under laboratoly conditions. The degradation rate of the polymers was determined by quantitative clem zone technique, enzyme (turbidity) assay, and respirometry assay. Although the enzyme system secreted by Pscudomor~as sp. RY-1 was capable of degrading all MCL-PHAs tested. its secretion was influenced by the availability of secondary carbon sources. The rate of enzymatic degradation of MCL-PHAs was dependent upou the monomeric composition of the polyesters and reduced as the chain lengths of the monomer m t s in the polyesters increased. MCL-PHAs containing C-even monomer units showed faster degradation rate than MCL-PHAs containing C-odd monomer units. Respiration rates of MCL-PHAs with C-even monomer uuts were also much faster than those of MCL-PHAs with C-odd monomer units. The degmdation rate of MCL-PHAs bearing unsaturated substituents was faster than that of mcl-PHAs without functional substituents, which is suggesting the correlation between the degradation rate and the crystallinity of MCL-PHAs.

Psudomonas sp. RY-1이 생성하는 extracellular depolymerase system을 이용하여 단위체의 결가지에 서로 다른 탄소 길이와 불포와기를 함유하는 medium-chain-length polyhdroxyalkanoates (MCL-PHAs)의 생분해도를 시럼실 조건에서 조사하였다. 생분애도는 평파내지에서의 clear zone 형성, 효소 처리에 의한 고분자 현탁액의 탁도 감소 및 호흡량의 경시적 변화로 측정하였다. Pseudomonas sp. RY-1은 MCL-PHA depolymerase의 생성을 통하여 조사된 모든 종류의 MCl-PHAs를 분해할 수 있었으나, 이 효소의 생성은 쉽게 이용될수 있는 이차기질에 의해 저해받는 것으로 나타났다. MCl-PHAs의 분해율이 단위체의 탄소수가 홀수개로 구성된 고분자에 비하여 보다 높았다. 곁가지에 분포화기를 함유한 MCl-PHAs는 불포화기를 갖지 아니하는 고분자에 비하여 분해가 빠르게 이루어졌으며, 이들의 분해는 고분자의 결정화도와 밀접한 관련이 있는 것으로 나타났다.
