Abstract

This study was carried out to select the lactic acid bacteria producing ${\beta}-galactosidase$ (lactase) and investigate the properties of the ${\beta}-galactosidase$. About 100 strains of lactic acid bacteria showing blue colony on the MRS agar medium containing X-gal were isolated from several kinds of Kimchi. Among them, 2 strains were selected as potential ${\beta}-galactosidase$ producers. The selected strains, ET-1 and LA-12, were identified as Lactobacillus fermentum and L. acidophilus, respectively by the analysis of 16S rDNA sequences. They showed relatively high ${\beta}-galactosidase$ activity and cellular viability. Their ${\beta}-galactosidase$ showed the highest activity at $55^{\circ}C$. And the optimum pHs of the enzymes produced by ET-1 and LA-12 were pH 5.5 and pH 7.0, respectively. They were also highly resistant to artificial gastric juice and bile. Two selected strains showed little change of viable cell number for 3 hr incubation in artificial gastric juice, and maintained the viable cell number at $10^8CFU/ml$ for 24 hr in 0.3% oxgall after incubation for 2 hours in artificial gastric juice. Based on these results, ET-1 and LA-12 are expected to be applied in dairy industry.

[ ${\beta}-Galactosidase$ ] (lactase)를 생산하는 유산균을 선별하고 그들이 생산하는 ${\beta}-galactosidase$의 특성을 조사하였다. X-gal이 포함된 MRS배지에서 푸른색을 나타내는 약 100여개의 콜로니를 김치로부터 분리하였다. 그들 중 ET-1과 LA-12 두 균주를 최종 선별하였으며, 16S rDNa 염기서열 분석을 통해 각 각 Lactobacillus fermentum과 L. acidophilus와 상동성이 높은 Lactobacillus 속으로 동정되었다. 선별된 두 균주는 높은 ${\beta}-galactosidase$ activeity와 우수한 생존력을 나타내었으며, 이들이 생산하는 ${\beta}-galactosidase$의 최적 활성조건을 조사한 결과, 반응온도 $55^{\circ}C$에서 가장 높은 활성을 나타내었으며, 반응 pH의 경우 ET-1은 pH 5.5에서 최고 활성을 나타내었고, LA-12는 pH7.0에서 가장 높은 활성을 보였다. 선별 유산균 ET-1과 LA-12는 위액과 담즙산액에 대해 우수한 내성을 나타내었다. 두 개의 선별 균주는 인공위액에 3시간 배양 후 초기 생균수와 비교하여 생균수 변화가 거의 없었고, 담즙산액으로 사용한 0.3% oxgall에서 24시간 반응 후에도 1 log cycle 정도 감소된 $10^8CFU/ml$의 생균수를 유지하였다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 유산균 ET-1과 LA-12는 유제품 산업에 이용 가능성이 크다고 판단된다.
