Abstract

Thirty-one chicken feather-degrading bacteria were isolated from wasted feather, compost and wastewater in a chicken farm. These isolates were categorized as Firmicutes (21 strains), ${\gamma}$-proteobacteria (4 strains), Actinobacteria (4 strains), and Bacteroidetes (2 strains) by 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. We examined the feather-degrading isolates for degradation in the 2% of chicken feather meal. The strain Chryseobacterium sp. FBF-7, Stenotrophomonas maltophilia FBS-4, and Lysinibacillus sp. FBW-3 were selected as a keratinolytic protein degrading bacteria which showed the highest feather degradation of 75-90%. The characteristics of amino acids extracted from chicken feather meal by using keratinolytic protein degrading isolates and chemical method with $Ca(OH)_2$ were analyzed. Total amino acid content of strain Chryseobacterium sp. FBF-7 was 1,661.6 ${\mu}mol$/ml, which was the highest and it was similar with chemical method. And essential amino acid content of total amino acid was thirty-seven percent (619.3 ${\mu}mol$/ml) and 596.9 ${\mu}mol$/ml for keratinolytic protein degrading isolates and chemical method, respectively. The major amino acids were valine, glutamic acid, aspartic acid, glycine, and proline by the strain Chryseobacterium sp. FBF-7 and especially, higher contents of aspartic acid, threonine, serine, cysteine, and tyrosine were detected compared with chemical method.

양계장 부산물 시료로부터 우모 분해세균 31균주를 분리하였다. 수집된 우모 분해세균에 대해 16S rRNA 염기서열을 해석하여 계통학적 특성을 검토한 결과, Firmicutes (21균주), ${\gamma}$-proteobacteria (4균주), Actinobacteria (4균주) 그리고 Bacteroidetes (2균주) 계통군에 속하는 다양한 세균이 확보되었다. 우모 분해세균 중 우모 분해율이 75-90% 이상인 우수균주 Chryseobacterium sp. FBF-7, Stenotrophomonas maltophilia FBS-4 그리고 Lysinibacillus sp. FBW-3를 최종 선발하였다. 이들 균주를 이용한 생물학적 분해법과 Ca(OH)2를 이용한 화학적 분해법에 의해 추출된 아미노산의 특성을 비교한 결과, Chryseobacterium sp. FBF-7에 의해 추출된 총 아미노산 함량이 1661.6 ${\mu}mol$/ml로 선발 균주 중 가장 높게 나타났으며, 화학적 분해법에 의해 추출된 총 아미노산 함량과 유사하였다. Chryseobacterium sp. FBF-7에 의해 생성된 필수 아미노산 함유량은 619.3 ${\mu}mol$/ml로 총 아미노산의 37%를 함유하였으며, 화학적 분해법에 의한 경우, 596.9 ${\mu}mol$/ml의 필수 아미노산을 생산하여 총 아미노산 함유량의 32%를 차지하는 것으로 나타났다. Chryseobacterium sp. FBF-7에 의해 추출된 아미노산의 조성을 검토한 결과, valine, glutamic acid, aspartic acid, glycine 그리고 proline이 주요 아미노산이었으며, 특히 aspartic acid, threonine, serine, cysteine 그리고 tyrosine이 화학적 추출법보다 더 높게 추출되는 특징을 나타내었다.
