Study on the Simultaneous Production of the Bacterial Cellulose and Vinegar by Gluconacetobacter persimmonis KJ145T

The changes of component through simultaneous production of bacterial cellulose and vinegars by G. persimmonis KJ145$^{T}$ were examined. As a results, pH was decreased to 3.22 at 8 days of fermentation and total acidity showed 4.66 which was the highest at the 8 days of fermentation. Brix didn't show any changes during the fermentation period. Free sugars of fermentation broth were consist of fructose, glucose and sucrose. The fructose concentration of fermentation broth was maintained highly during fermentation period (until the final 10 days) without a remarkable decrease. The cell growth of G. persimmonis KJ145$^{T}$ was very rapidly increased from the 2 days of fermentation and increased most at the 4 days of fermentation. The productivity of bacterial cellulose was increased in proportion to the fermentation period. Malic acid, succinic acid and oxalic acid were detected as a organic acid of vinegar. The concentration of acetic acid was rapidly increased from the 2 days and reached highest concentration at 8 days. In conclusion, the results indicated that the 8 days was the optimal fermentation period to produce the bacterial cellulose and vinegar by G. persimmonis KJ145$^{T}$ simultaneously.

Gluconacetobacter Persimmonis KJ145T를 이용한 Bacterial Cellulose및 식초의 동시 생산에 관한 연구

G. persimmonis KJ145$^{T}$ 를 사용하여 bacterial cellulose와 식초 동시 생산에 따른 성분변화를 조사하였다. 그 결과 pH는 배양 8일째에 3.22로 감소하는 경향이었으며, 총산은 8일째에 가장 높은 4.66으로 나타났다. Brix는 배양기간 동안 거의 변화가 없었으며, 유리당은 fructose, glucose 및 sucrose로 구성되어 있고 fructose는 배양 종료 후, 10일째에도 거의 감소하지 않고 높게 나타났다. G. Persimmonis KJ145$^{T}$ 균체는 배양 2일부터 급격히 증가하여 4일에 가장 높게 나타났으며, bacterial cellulose는 배양기간이 길수록 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. 발효액의 유기산은 malic acid, succinic acid, oxalic acid 등이 검출되었으며, acetic acid는 발효 2일째부터 급격히 증가하여 8일째에 가장 높게 생성되었다. 따라서 bacterial cellulose와 초산을 동시에 생산하기 위한 최적배양기간은 8일 정도로 나타났다.
