초록

Hexane을 유일 탄소 에너지원으로 하여 농화배양한 배양액으로부터 hexane 분해능이 우수한 EH741 균주를 순수 분리 동정하였고, 분리균주에 의한 hexane 생분해 특성을 조사하였다. EH741 균주는 Rhodococcus sp.로 동정되었고, 액상 배양계에서 hexane 용해도를 향상시키기 위해 첨가한 계면활성제 Pluronic F68(PF68)은 hexane 생분해 속도에 영향을 미치지 않았다. Hexane을 유일 탄소원으로 첨가한 무기염 배지에서 EH741의 최대 비성장속도(${\mu}_{max}$)값은 $0.04h^{-1}$이었고, 최대 hexane 분해속도($V_{max}$)와 포화상수($K_s$)는 각각 $161{\mu}mol{\cdot}g-DCW^{-1}{\cdot}h^{-1}$ 및 10.5 mM이었다. Rhodococcus sp. EH741은 hexane 처리를 위한 생물학적 공정에 유용하게 활용될 것으로 사료된다.

As a strain EH741, having an excellent hexane degradability, was isolated from bacterial consortium using hexane as a sole carbon and energy source. EH741 was identified as a Rhodococcus sp. and the addition of a surfactant Pluronic F68(PF68), for increasing hexane solubility couldn't enhance the specific growth rate of the isolate EH741 n the mineral salt medium supplemented with hexane as a sole carbon source(hexane-BH medium). In the hexane-BH medium, the maximum specific growth rate(${\mu}_{max}$) of this strain was $0.04h^{-1}$, and the maximum hexane degradation rate($V_{max}$) and saturation constant($K_s$) were$161{\mu}mol{\cdot}g-DCW^{-1}{\cdot}h^{-1}$ and 10.5 mM, respectively. Rhodococcus sp. EH741 was one of excellent microorgamisms for hexane biodegradation processes.
