L-Lysine 생산균주인 Brevibacterium flavum ATCC 14067 과 Corynebacteriurn glutamicum ATCC13032에 섬유소 자화능이 우수한 Cellulomonas flavigena KFCC31221를 속간 융합시켜 섬유소로부터 L-lysine을 생산할 목적으로 이들 균주의 영양요구성 변이주 분리, 원형질체의 형성 및 재생의 조건을 조사하였다. NTG(500$\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$)로 유기하여 penicillin-G(300$\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$)로 농축한 변이주에서 B. flavum은 hse- str$^{r}$(100$\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$), C. glutamicum는 Met$^{-}$T$hr^{-}$ Rif$^{r}$(5$\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$), C. flavigena 는 T$hr^{-}$Val$^{-}$Kan$^{r}$(50$\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$)의 gene marker를 가지는 영양요구성과 약제내성균주를 분리하였다. 공시균주의 원형질체 형성은 osmotic stabilizer로서는 0.5M sucrose, 배양기간은 대수증식기 중기의 균이 양호하였고, lysozyme 최적 처리 pH, 온도, 농도 및 반응시간은 각각 pH6.5, 33$^{\circ}C$, 500 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$, 6시간으로 나타났으며, 이때의 원형질체형성율은 95-98%였다. 원형질체를 1.5% agar가 함유된 완전재생용 배지위에 0.7% agar가 함유된 완전재생용 배지로 중층했을 때 약 30~33%의 재생율을 보였다.

The regulatory mechanism of methionine biosynthesis in Corynebacterium glutamicum was analyzed at the protein arid gene expression level. O-Acetylhomoserine sulfhydraylase (encoded by metY) was inhibited by 10 mM methionine to a residual activity of 10% level, whereas no such inhibition was found with cystathionine $\gamma$-synthase (encoded by metB) and cystathionine $\beta$-lyase (encoded by metC). The enzymatic activity of homoserine acetyltransferase (encoded by metX) was repressed to a residual activity of 25% level by 10 mM methionine which was added to the growth medium. Cystathionine $\gamma$-synthase and cystathionine $\beta$-lyase were also repressed by 10 mM methionine, but only to a residual activity of 50-70% level. O-Acetylhomoserine sulfhydrylase was very sensitive to repression by 10 mM methionine, showing residual activity of 13%. In addition, homoserine acetyltransferase was also repressed by 10 mM cysteine to 50% of its original activity. No repression of the enzymes by S-adenosyl methionine was observed. The pattern of repression by methionine indicated that the metB and aecD genes might be regulated by a common mechanism, while the metA and metY genes are differently regulated.

The cyclic AMP receptor protein (CRP) homolog, GlxR, controls the expression of several genes involved in the regulation of diverse physiological processes in Corynebacterium glutamicum. In silico analysis has revealed the presence of glxR binding sites upstream of genes ptsG, adhA, and ald, encoding glucose-specific phosphotransferase system protein, alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH), and acetaldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH), respectively. However, the involvement of the GlxR-cAMP complex on the expression of these genes has been explored only in vitro. In this study, the expressions of ptsG, adhA, and ald were analyzed in detail using an adenylate cyclase gene (cyaB) deletion mutant and glxR deletion mutant. The specific activities of ADH and ALDH were increased in both the mutants in glucose and glucose plus ethanol media, in contrast to the wild type. In accordance, the promoter activities of adhA and ald were derepressed in the cyaB mutant, indicating that glxR acts as a repressor of adhA. Similarly, both the mutants exhibited derepression of ptsG regardless of the carbon source. These results confirm the involvement of GlxR on the expression of important carbon metabolic genes; adhA, ald, and ptsG.

Shikimate is a key high-demand metabolite for synthesizing valuable antiviral drugs, such as the anti-influenza drug, oseltamivir (Tamiflu). Microbial-based strategies for shikimate production have been developed to overcome the unstable and expensive supply of shikimate derived from traditional plant extraction processes. In this study, a microbial cell factory using Corynebacterium glutamicum was designed to overproduce shikimate in a fed-batch culture system. First, the shikimate kinase gene (aroK) responsible for converting shikimate to the next step was disrupted to facilitate the accumulation of shikimate. Several genes encoding the shikimate bypass route, such as dehydroshikimate dehydratase (QsuB), pyruvate kinase (Pyk1), and quinate/shikimate dehydrogenase (QsuD), were disrupted sequentially. An artificial operon containing several shikimate pathway genes, including aroE, aroB, aroF, and aroG were overexpressed to maximize the glucose uptake and intermediate flux. The rationally designed shikimate-overproducing C. glutamicum strain grown in an optimized medium produced approximately 37.3 g/l of shikimate in 7-L fed-batch fermentation. Overall, rational cell factory design and culture process optimization for the microbial-based production of shikimate will play a key role in complementing traditional plant-derived shikimate production processes.

생체흡착은 염색폐수로부터 염료 제거를 위한 현재의 처리방법을 교체 또는 보충할 수 있는 유력한 대안이 되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 수용액으로부터 반응성 염료(Reactive Red 4, Reactive Blue 4)를 제거할 수 있는 생체흡착제로서 아미노산 발효공정에서 발생되고 있는 폐기물인 Corynebacterium glutamicum 바이오매스의 활용 가능성에 대해 평가하였다. 염료들의 흡착량은 용액 pH가 감소함에 따라 증가하였는데 이는 산성 pH에서 바이오매스의 표면 작용기는 (+)극성을 띠게 되어 반응성 염료의 (-)극성을 갖는 술폰기(sulfonate group)와 결합하였기 때문인 것으로 사료된다. 접촉시간에 따른 생체흡착속도 실험을 통해 평형에 도달하는 시간은 약 10시간으로 평가되었다. 흡착평형의 수학적인 묘사를 위해 Langmuir 흡착 모델을 적용한 결과, Reactive Red 4, Reactive Blue 4의 최대흡착량은 pH 1에서 112.4 mg/g 및 263.16 mg/g이었으며, pH 3에서는 각각 71.94 mg/g 및 155.88 mg/g이었다.

The present work presents a novel approach for the dynamic quantification of respiration rates on a small scale by using lysine-producing Corynebacterium glutamicum ATCC 21253. Cells sampeld from batch cultures at different times were incubated ina 12-ml scale bioreactor equipped with a membrane mass spectrometer. Under dynamic conditions, gas exchange across the gas-liquid phase, specific respiration rates, and RQ values were precisely measured. For this purpose, suitable mass balances were formulated. The transport coefficients for $O_2$ and $CO_2$, crucial for calculating the respiration activity, were determined as $k_La_{O2}=9.18h^{-1}$ and $k_La_{CO2}=5.10h^{-1}$ at 400 rpm. The application of the proposed method to batch cultures of C. glutamicum ATCC 21253 revealed the maximum specific respiration rates of $q_{O2}=8.4\;mmol\;g^{-1}h^{-1}\;and\;q_{CO2}=8.7\;mmol\;g^{-1}h^{-1}$ in the middle of the exponential growth phase after 5 h of cultivation. When the cells changed from growth to lysine production due to the depletion of the essential amino acids theonine, methionine, and leucine, $q_{O2}\;and\;q_{CO2}$ decreased significantly and RQ increased. The respiration data exhibited an excellent agreement with previous cultivations of the strain [13]. This confirms the potential of the developed approach to realistically reflect the metabolic activities of cells at their point of sampling. The short-term influence of added threonine, methionine, and leucine was highest during the shift from growth to lysine production, where $q_{O2}\;and\;q_{CO2}$ increased 50% within one minute after the pulse addition of these compounds. Non-growing, yet lysine-producing cells taken from the end of the batch cultivation revealed no metabolic stimulation with the addition of threonine, methionine, and leucine.

2l 발효조에서 pH6.9, 온도 $32^{\circ}C$일 때 당밀배지를 이용하여 Corynebacterium glutamicum의 영양요구성 유사체 내성변이주에 의한 라이신 발효시 산화환원 전위 (ORP)가 라이신 발효속도의 특성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 희석률이 0.1$h ^1$일때 탄소원이 제한되건 로이신이 제한되건 산소가 제한되지 않는 한 최대의 대당수율 24를 보였으며, 이 때의 산화환원 전윈 값은 -60mV와 -100mV 범위에 해당하였다. 산화화원 전위 값이 -130mV의 매우 낮은 용존산소 조건하에서는 대당수율 밀 $q_s, q_p$ 등의 발효 반응속도 상수값들이 크게 감소하였으며 glvcine, alanine, valine을 포함하는 발효 부산물의 축적량이 매우 높아졌다.

섬유소 기질로부터 L-lysine을 생산할 목적으로 Cellulomonas flavigena에 Brevibacterium flavum 및 Corynebacterium glutamicum을 각각 이속간 원형질체 융합을 하여 융합조건과 융합체의 성질을 조사하였다. 각각의 parental protoplast를 동량으로 혼합한 후 30% PEG 6000으로 3$0^{\circ}C$, 30분간 융합시킨 결과 1.9$\times$$10^{-6}$~2.1$\times$$10^{-6}$의 융합빈도를 얻었고, 134주의 융합체 중 유전적 안정화가 판명되고 CMC 기질로부터 L-lysine 생성능이 인정된 FCB 3 및 FCC 19를 최종 선별하였다. FCB 3 및 FCC 19는 친주보다 DNA 함량이 높을 분 아니라 G＋C 함량도 융합전 친주의 G＋C 총함량의 약 1/2에 해당하여 반수체로서 안정화되어 있었으며, 그리고 친주와 반대로 CMC 자화능이 있어 CMC로부터 L-lysine을 배지 중에 축적하였다.
