To produce ginsenoside-$Rg_3$ enriched yeast from ginseng-steaming effluent (GSE), Lipomyces starkeyi, which tends to grow well in GSE, was cultured in sterilized GSE and its growth and production of ginsenoside-$Rg_3$ were determined. Growth of L. starkeyi was 86.1 mg per g GSE and its ginsenoside-$Rg_3$ contents was 0.013 mg per g GSE.

To produce ginsenoside-Rg$_3$ enriched edible yeast, ginseng steaming effluent (GSE) was used for yeast cultivation in this study. Four kinds of edible yeasts were cultured in sterilized GSE (2% w/v, pH 6.5), without any nutrient, for 48 h at 30$^{\circ}C$, and their growth and ginsenoside compositions were determined. Among the yeasts, Saccharomyces cerevisiae showed the highest growth in the GSE medium. 267.1 mg of Saccharomyces cerevisiae biomass was produced from 1 g of GSE solid and ginsenoside-Rg$_3$ contents was determined with 0.033 mg. Saccharomyces cerevisiae also showed the best overall acceptability, with a herbal and fermentative flavor and a slightly bitter taste. From these data, we conclude that Saccharomyces cerevisiae is the excellent strain for production of ginsenoside-Rg$_3$ enriched edible yeast using GSE.

A novel biomass was prepared from Pichia anomala KCCM 11473, which grew well in ginseng-steaming effluent (GSE), and its physiological functionalities and enzyme activities were determined. When the strain was cultured in the GSE (pH 6.0) at 30$^{\circ}C$ for 48 h, 1.6 mg of biomass per ml-cultures was produced. The cell-free extract of the biomass showed high antihypertensive angiotensin I-converting enzyme inhibitory activity of 72.0% and anticholesteromia HMG-CoA reductase inhibitory activity of 46.5%. The cell-free extract also showed 13.0 U per ml and 8.5 U per ml of neutral protease activity and alkaline protease, respectively.

Mucor miehei KCTC 6011, which grew successfully in ginseng-steaming effluents and produced a large amount of chitosan efficiently, was selected from various fungi. Approximately 120 mg of chitosan per g-dry mycelium was maximally produced in 84 h at $25^{\circ}C$ when grown in the ginseng-steaming effluent (pH 8.0) supplemented with 0.5% yeast extract and 0.002% CuSO$_4$. Chitosan produced by Mucor miehei KCTC 6011 was identified by the IR-spectra to have deacety lated approximately 56%. Viscosity and molecular weight of the chitosan were 80 cps and $1.07\times10^3$ kDa, respectively. The chitosan at 1.5 mg/ml inhibited 73.9% of the mycelium growth of Rhizoctonia solani in 60 h.

본 논문은 한국인삼의 추출물 제조 시 부수적으로 생산되는 유출액에 의한 환경오염을 방지하고 나아가 이들로부터 고부가가치의 생리활성물질을 유출액에서 생육이 우수한 균류로부터 생산한 논문이다. 유출액에서 생육이 좋았던 Hansenula anomala KCCM 11473으로부터 5'-ribonucleotide 생산 최적 조건은 세포현탁액의 pH를 5.0으로 하고 $55^{\circ}C$에서 24시간 자기소화 시키는 조건이다. 또한 생육이 좋았던 Saccharomyces cerevisiae는 유출액 배지에서 배양 중 약리 성분이 Ginsenoside-Rg3를 고형물 1 g당 0.033 mg을 생성하였다. Mucor miehei KCTC 6011을 유출액에 접종하여 $25^{\circ}C$에서 84시간 배양했을 때 균체 건물 g당 120 mg의 키토산을 생성하였다.
