Abstract

In order to evaluate the diversity and change of bacterial population during the manufacturing process of traditional soybean paste (doenjang), bacterial communities were analyzed using 16S rRNA gene-based pyrosequencing. In rice straw, the most important inoculum source for fermentation, the bacterial sequences with a relative abundance greater than 1% were assigned to four phyla, Proteobacteria (71%), Actinobacteria (20.6%), Bacteroidetes (4.2%), and Firmicutes (1.3%). Unlike bacterial community composition of rice straw, a different pattern of bacterial population in meju was observed with predominantly high abundance (99.1%) of Firmicutes. Phylum composition in young doenjang was almost same as that of meju. Major genera in young doenjang were Bacillus (81.3%), Clostridium (6.9%) and Enterococcus (6.3%) and the predominant species among bacterial population was B. amyloliquefaciens (63.6%). Abundance of the phylum Firmicutes in mature doenjang was 99.98%, which was even higher value than those in meju and young doenjang. Predominant species in mature doenjang were B. amyloliquefaciens (67.3%), B. atrophaeus (12.7%), B. methylotrophicus (6.5%), B. mojavensis (3.2%), and B. subtilis. (2.5%), which were also identified as major species of the microbial flora in meju. These results suggested that rice straw was a primary source for supplement of Bacillus species in manufacturing the traditional doenjang and that some species of Bacillus strains were mainly involved in the fermentation process of traditional doenjang.

전통 방식으로 된장을 만드는 과정 동안 세균군집의 다양성과 변화를 관찰하기 위하여 16S rRNA 유전자 서열을 기반으로 하는 pyrosequencing을 수행하였다. 전통 된장 제조에 가장 중요한 접종원으로서 볏짚에 존재하는 세균 군집을 문수준에서 확인했을 때, 상대적 군집 비율로 1% 이상의 분포를 보였던 4종류는 Proteobacteria (71%), Actinobacteria (20.6%), Bacteroidetes (4.2%), Firmicutes (1.3%) 문이었다. 그러나 볏짚 세균 군집구조 결과와 달리 메주의 군집구조에서는 99.1%가 Firmicutes 문이었다. 문 수준에서 숙성 전 된장의 군집분포를 보면 Firmicutes 문 비율이 99.85%로 메주와 비슷한 수준이었다. 그러나 종 수준의 군집구조에서는 메주에서 32.54%의 가장 높은 군집빈도를 보였던 Bacillus siamensis는 0.1%로 거의 사라진 반면 B. amyloliquefaciens가 63.64%로 가장 높은 우점종이 되었다. 숙성 후 된장의 세균군집구조를 보면 숙성 전에 비해 Bacillus 비율이 증가되었으며 이들 중 군집의 상대밀도가 가장 높았던 우점종은 B. amyloliquefaciens (67.3%)였고, 5위까지 모두 Bacillus 종들(전체 군집분포의 92.2%)이 차지했다. 또한 메주 내 상위 11 위까지 우점을 이루던 세균 종들 중 10종이 숙성 후 된장에서도 우점종을 형성하여, 메주 미생물들이 숙성 후 된장 발효까지 영향을 준다는 것을 보였다. 이 결과들로부터 전통 장류에서 발효 주 세균은 Bacillus 종이며 이들은 기본적으로 볏짚으로부터 기원되어 메주에서 우점종을 형성한 것으로 추정되었다. 따라서 풍미와 위생성이 동시에 요구되는 전통 장류의 제조를 위해서는 볏짚 표면에 이 기능을 가진 Bacillus 종들의 군집 분포가 필요할 것으로 예상되었다.
