Abstract

Two strains, traditionally referred to as rock flower (Bawhi-kot) and buckwheat flower (Memil-kot or Chile-Kot), were isolated from stored traditional soy sauce and were identified by using the 18S ITS1/4 region sequences. The rock flower strain showed 99% of similarity with Cladosporium sp. and buckwheat flower strain was 99% identical with yeast Sterigmatomyces halophilus. Both strains were tentatively named Cladosporium sp. NK1 and Sterigmatomyces halophilus NK2, respectively. The optimal growth pHs and temperatures of both strains in a YPD broth medium were in the range of pH 5.0 to 7.0 and 22 to $27^{\circ}C$. Both strains were able to grow in more than 20% of NaCl. In the enzyme activity assay, high protease activity of Cladosporium sp. NK1 and S. halophilus NK2 were obtained in YPD containing 10% of NaCl. High amylase activities of both stains were in 15% and 5% of NaCl, respectively. Lipase activity was, however, not detected in both strains.

전통방식으로 숙성되고 있는 한식간장의 표면으로부터 분리된 바위꽃과 메밀꽃이라 불리는 미생물을 18S rDNA ITS1과 ITS4 지역의 염기서열를 분석한 결과, 각각 Cladosporium 종들과 S. halophilus의 염기서열과 높은 상동성을 보였다. 이에 따라 바위꽃 미생물은 Cladosporium sp. NK1로, 메밀꽃 미생물은 S. halophilus NK2로 명명하였다. YPD 액체 배지를 이용한 최적 생장 pH와 온도에 있어서 Cladosporium sp. NK1은 각각 pH 6과 22-$27^{\circ}C$였고, S. halophilus NK2는 각각 pH 5-7과 $22^{\circ}C$였다. Cladosporium sp. NK1는 NaCl를 첨가하지 않은 YPD 액체배지에서 가장 잘 생장하였으나, protease 및 amylase 효소활성에 있어서는 각각 10%와 15% NaCl이 첨가된 YPD 배양액 시료에서 가장 높았다. S. halophilus NK2는 10% NaCl이 첨가된 YPD 액체배지까지 매우 잘 생장하였으며, protease 활성은 10% NaCl이 첨가된 YPD 배양액 시료에서, amylase 활성은 5% NaCl이 첨가된 배양액 시료에서 가장 높았다. Cladosporium sp. NK1과 S. halophilus NK2의 lipase 활성은 보이지 않았다. 간장의 관능평가 결과 Cladosporium sp. NK1 균주는 간장의 맛에서, S. halophilus NK2는 향미에서 유의적 차이를 보였다.
