효모를 최적 배양조건에서 키운후 $1.14{\times}10_-3 M$의 셀레늄을 배양액에 가하여 24시간 배양한 후 효모를 얻는다. 효모의 건조중량에 대하여 약 $0.1{\%}$(w/w)이상의 셀레늄을 함유하는 고농도의 셀레늄-효모를 얻었고 세포벽에 부착된 무기셀레늄은 세척후 MBRT과정으로 확인하였다. MBRT에서 15분 이상 푸른색이 지속되는 결과로 무기이온의 세포벽 흡착이 거의 없음을 확인하였다. 셀레늄이 함유된 효모를 초음파로 분해한 후 $80{\%}(NH_4)_2SO_4$ 용액을 이용하여 단백질을 부분 정제하였고 ICP-AES로 측정된 효모내의 셀레늄 농도와 비교하였을 때 약 $60.6{\%}$의 셀레늄이 단백질 내에 존재함을 확인하였다. 전기이동으로 단백질을 분리하여 확인한 결과 많은 양이 발현된 단백질 띠에서는 상대적으로 셀레늄의 농도가 높았다. 그중 47 kDa 단백질의 경우 69.5 ${\mu}$g Se/g의 농도로 가장 많은 함량을 보였다. 이 단백질을 PVDF 막에 electroblotting하여 분리하였고 이를 산으로 가수분해하여 얻어진 아미노산들을 PITC와 반응시켜 유도체를 얻었다. 아미노산유도체들을 HPLC로 분리 확인한 결과 셀레노메티오닌의 상대적인 비율이 총아미노산의 $2{\%}$로 얻어졌다. 이러한 셀레늄은 단백질과 킬레이트의 형태로 존재하는 것이 아니고 대부분이 셀레늄의 유기체인 셀레노메티오닌으로 효모 내에서 생합성 된다고 볼 수 있다.

This study was conducted to determine effects of different selenium (Se) sources on performance, carcass characteristics, blood measures (whole blood Se concentration and plasma glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activity), and Se concentrations in tissues of finishing Hanwoo steers (Korean native steers). Twenty finishing Hanwoo steers (average body weight=536${\pm}$23.4 kg, average age=approximately 20 months) were allotted to treatments in four groups of five steers per pen for 16 weeks preceding slaughter. Treatments were control (CON), spent mushroom composts from Se-enriched mushrooms (Se-SMC), selenized yeast (Se-Y), and sodium selenite (SS). Dietary Se levels of all treatments except CON were 0.9 mg Se/kg on the dry matter basis. Body weight was measured at the first and final day of trial, and blood samples were collected to analyze whole blood Se concentration and plasma GSH-Px activity at 2, 4, 8, and 16 weeks. At the end of trial, steers were slaughtered to collect muscle and liver samples for their Se analyses, and carcass data were recorded. In terms of dry matter intake, body weight gain and carcass characteristics, no significant differences among treatments were observed. Whole blood Se concentrations were significantly higher (p<0.05) for Se-SMC and Se-Y treatments than for CON at each collection period, with no significant difference between SS and CON. For weeks 2 and 8, there was no significant difference for whole blood Se concentration between Se-SMC and Se-Y, but for weeks 4 and 16, Se-Y treatments were significantly higher (p<0.05) than Se-SMC. No differences were observed for plasma GSH-Px activity between Se-SMC and Se-Y. The Se concentrations in hind leg and liver were significantly different among treatments (p<0.05) and those in both tissues ranked the greatest in Se-Y, followed by Se-SMC, SS, and CON treatments. However, tissue Se concentration for SS was not different from that for CON. These results showed that feeding organic Se sources such as Se-SMC and Se-Y enhanced Se concentration in tissues, while SS, the most common supplement of inorganic Se, was inefficient in Se deposition. Even though Se-Y had a higher Se concentration in tissues than Se-SMC, replacing Se-Y with Se-SMC in diets of beef steers would be an inexpensive way to increase Se concentration in beef.
