폴리 젖산의 원료가 되는 젖산은 D-, L의 광학이성질체로 존재하는데 L젖산 폴리머와 라세미 폴리머는 결정성과 녹는점이 다르므로 플라스틱으로서의 만족할 만한 물성을 기대하기 위하여 원료로서 광학적으로 순수한 L-lactic acid가 요구된다. 이를 위하여 한 종류의 이성질체만을 선택적으로 생산하는 젖산균주를 탐색하여 분리함으로써 광학적으로 순수한 산물을 얻을 뿐만 아니라 이러한 발효법에 의한 젖산생산은 자연계에 풍부한 starch나 cellulose, 음식물쓰레기와 같은 재생 가능한 자원을 기질로 사용하여 젖산발효에서 전분의 당화 공정에 필요한 시간과 노력을 최소화하며 젖산 생산에 드는 전체적인 비용을 절감할 수 있다. 전분을 직접 이용하는 것은 젖산균의 일반적인 성질이 아니므로 전분이 풍부한 누룩을 수집하여 직접적으로 전분을 분해하여 젖산발효를 수행하는 균주를 누룩에서 분리하였다. 분리균주는 형태학적, 배양학적,생화학적 특성 및 16s rDNA 분석을 통하여 Enterococcus sp.으로 동정되어 Enterococcus sp. JA-27로 명명하였다. 생육에 따른 L-lactic acid의 최적 생산 조건을 검토한 결과, 최적 배지조건은 탄소원으로 1.5% soluble starch, 질소원으로 3.5% tryptone, 그 외의 다른 조성들은 0.1% $K_2$$HPO_4$, 0.04% $MgSO_4$$.$ $7H_2$O, 0.014% $MnSO_4$ $.$ $4H_2$O, 0.04% $MgSO_4$$.$ $7H_2$O이었고 최적 배양조건은 $30^{\circ}C$, pH 8이었다. 대량생산을 위한 기초자료를 제공하기 위하여 회분배양과 유가배양을 실시하였고, 회분배양이 L-lactic acid의 생산수율(0.134 g, L-lactic acid/g, soluble starch)이 더 높게 나타나 효과적이었다. 7 L 발효조 배양시 pH를 control한 결과, L-lactic acid 생산이 삼각플라스크에 비해 1.5배 더 증가하였다. 배지 중의 젖산을 정제하기 위한 방법으로 이온교환 칼럼크로마토그라피(ion-exchange column chromatography)를 사용하였고 일련의 정제 과정을 통하여 배양액 중의 L-lactic acid 정제 수율은 약 85% 정도로 나타났으며 HPLC로 분석한 결과 99.7%의 순도를 확인할 수 있었다.

Background: Airag, alcoholic sour-tasting beverage, has been traditionally prepared by Mongolian nomads who naturally ferment fresh mares' milk. Biochemical and microbiological compositions of airag samples collected in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia and physiological characteristics of isolated lactic acid bacteria were investigated. Methods: Protein composition and biochemical composition were determined using sodium dodecyl sulfate-gel electrophoresis and high performance liquid chromatography, respectively. Lactic acid bacteria were identified based on nucleotide sequence of 16S rRNA gene. Carbohydrate fermentation, acid survival, bile resistance and acid production in skim milk culture were determined. Results: Equine whey proteins were present in airag samples more than caseins. The airag samples contained 0.10-3.36 % lactose, 1.44-2.33 % ethyl alcohol, 1.08-1.62 % lactic acid and 0.12-0.22 % acetic acid. Lactobacillus (L.) helveticus were major lactic acid bacteria consisting of 9 isolates among total 18 isolates of lactic acid bacteria. L. helveticus survived strongly in PBS, pH 3.0 but did not grow in MRS broth containing 0.1 % oxgall. A couple of L. helveticus isolates lowered pH of skim milk culture to less than 4.0 and produced acid up to more than 1.0 %. Conclusion: Highly variable biochemical compositions of the airag samples indicated inconsistent quality due to natural fermentation. Airag with low lactose content should be favorable for nutrition, considering that mares' milk with high lactose content has strong laxative effect. The isolates of L. helveticus which produced acid actively in skim milk culture might have a major role in production of airag.

Lactic acid fermentation from sucrose as a carbon source was experimented. E. faecalis RKY1 metabolized sucrose efficiently into lactic acid through homolactic fermentation pathway. The optimal sucrose concentration for lactic acid production was found to be 150 g/l with the yield and productivity of 0.97 g/g and $3.7\;g/l\;{\cdot}\;h$, respectively. Lactic acid produced from sucrose was almost L(+)-lactic acid up to 98% based on total lactic acid produced. Therefore, sucrose was thought to be potential carbon source for L(+)-lactic acid production using E. faecalis RKY1.

Lactic acid production from ${\alpha}$-cellulose by simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) was studied. The cellulose was converted in a batch SSF using cellulase enzyme Cytolase CL to produce glucose sugar and Lactobacillus delbrueckii to ferment the glucose to lactic acid. The effects of temperature, PH, yeast extract loading, and lactic acid inhibition were studied to determine the optimum conditions for the batch processing. Cellulose was converted efficiently to lactic acid, and enzymatic hydrolysis was the rate controlling step in the SSF. The highest conversion rate was obtained at 46$^{\circ}C$ and pH 5.0. The observed yield of lactic acid from ${\alpha}$-cellulose was 0.90 at 72 hours. The optimum pH of the SSF was coincident with that of enzymatic hydrolysis. The optimum temperature of the SSF was chosen as the highest temperature the microoraganism could withstand. The optimum yeast extract loading was found to be 2.5g/L. Lactic acid was observed to be inhibitory to the microorganisms' activity.

섬유성바이오매스로부터 lactic acid를 생산하기 위한 동시당화 및 추출발효공정의 성능과 조업특성을 조사하였다. 섬유소 가수분해효소 Cytolase CL과 lactic acid 발효군주 L. delbruecku를 사용한 동시당화발효(SSF)에서 생성물인 lactic acid의 저해작용이 심각하였다. SSF 도중 lactic acid의 제거를 위하여 선정한 IRA-400 수지의 lactic acid 흡착성능은 200mg/g dry resin 이었다 Lactic acid 제거의 효과는 초기 기질(cellulose)의 농도에 따라 Lactic acid 제거의 효과는 초기 기질(cellulose)의 농도에 따라 다르게 나타난다. 기질의 농도가 50g/L인 경우 단순 SSF의 반응시간 72시간에서 lactic acid의 농도가 304g/L이었고, 이온교환수지를 첨가한 SSF에서는 32.0g/L이었다. 반면에, 모사실험 결과, 초기 기질사용량이 100g/L 인 경우에는 수지첨가에 의한 lactic acid 제거시 lactic acid 생산수율이 약 60%에서 90%이상까지 증가된다. SSF의 각 반응식에서 pH의 의존성을 조사하여 실험식으로 표현하였다. pH에 따라 lactic aic의 생산량이 크게 변화하였으며, pH 4.5-5.0에서 최대의 생산량을 나타내었다.

Batch fermentations of lactic acid were performed with Lactobacillus casei to investigate the effect of pH on cell growth and production of lactic acid and by-products. Maximum productivity of lactic acid increased with increasing pH from 5.0 to 6.5, and the extent of D-lactate production was different at each pH. Acetate and D-lactate concentrations increased even after the complete consumption of glucose in the medium. While a pH range of 6.0-6.5 was optimal for cell growth and lactic acid production, superior results were achieved at pH 6.0 when both maximum lactic acid productivity and minimum by-product formation were considered.

The hepatoprotective activity of lactic acid bacteria (Lactobacillus brevis HY7401, Lactobacillus acidophilus CSG and Bifidobacterium longum HY8001), which inhibited $\beta$-glucuronidase productivity of intestinal microflora, on t-BHP- or CCl$_4$-induced hepatotoxicity of mice were evaluated. These oral administration of lactic acid bacteria lowered $\beta$-glucuronidase production of intestinal microflora as well as Escherichia coli HGU-3. When lactic acid bacteria at a dose of 0.5 or 2 g (wet weight)/kg was orally administered on CCl$_4$-induced liver injury in mice, these bacteria significantly inhibited the increase of plasma alanine transferase and aspartate transferase activities by $17-57\%$ and $57-66\%$ of the $CCI_4$ control group, respectively. These lactic acid bacteria also showed the potent hepatoprotective effect against t-BHP-induced liver injury in mice. The inhibitory effects of these lactic acid bacteria were more potent than that of dimethyl diphenyl bicarboxylate (DDB), which have been used as a commercial hepatoprotective agent. Among these lactic acid bacteria, L. acidophilus CSG exhibited the most potent hepatoprotective effect. Based on these findings, we insist that an inhibitor of $\beta$-glucuronidase production in intestine, such as lactic acid bacteria, may be hepatoprotective.

A galactose fermentation bacterium producing lactose from red seaweed, which was known well to compromise the galactose as main reducing sugar, was isolated from button mushroom bed in Buyeo-Gun, Chungchugnamdo province. The lactic acid bacteria MONGB-2 was identified as Lactobacillus paracasei subsp. tolerans by analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequence. When the production of lactic acid and acetic acid by L. paracasei MONGB-2 was investigated by HPLC analysis with various carbohydrates, the strain MONGB-2 efficiently convert the glucose and galactose to lactic acid with the yield of 18.86 g/L and 18.23 g/L, respectively and the ratio of lactic acid to total organic acids was 1.0 and 0.91 g/g for both substrates. However, in the case of acetic acid fermentation, other carbohydrates besides galactose and red seaweed hydrolysate could not be totally utilized as carbon sources for acetic acid production by the strain. The lactic acid production from glucose and galactose in the fermentation time courses was gradually enhanced upto 60 h fermentation and the maximal concentration reached to be 16-18 g/L from both substrates after 48 h of fermentation. The initial concentration of glucose and galactose were completely consumed within 36 h of fermentation, of which the growth of cell also was maximum level. In addition, the bioconversion of lactic acid from the red seaweed hydrolysate by L. paracasei MONGB-2 appeared to be about 20% levels of the initial substrates concentration and this results were entirely lower than those of galactose and glucose showed about 60% of conversion. The apparent results showed that L. paracasei MONGB-2 could produce the lactic acid with glucose as well as galactose by the homofermentation through EMP pathway.

Media components, including date juice, sodium acetate, peptone, and $K_{2}HPO_4$, which were screened by Plackett-Burman fractional factorial design, were optimized for lactic acid production from date juice using the response surface method (RSM). Sodium acetate, peptone (p<0.0001), and $K_{2}HPO_4$ (p=0.0029) were highly significant in influencing the lactic acid production. Close correlationship between predicted and experimental values was observed. When the optimum values of the parameters obtained through RSM (25.0 g/l date sugar, 15.0 g/l sodium acetate, 19.1 g/l peptone, and 4.7 g/l $K_{2}HPO_4$) were applied, lactic acid production (22.7 g/l) increased by 50.33%, compared with unoptimized media (15.1 g/l). The subsequent validation experiments confirmed the validity of the statistical model.
