Streptoverticillium morbaraene로부터 미생물 유래 transglutaminase 생산을 위하여 최적의 용존산소 농도를 구명하였다. 용존산소는 용존산소 농도 자동 조절 시스템에 의해 조절되었다. 발효 중 용존산소 농도 조절을 위하여 통기속도는 0.3-3.9 L/min, 교반속도는 260-360 rpm으로 각각 범위를 설정하였다. 용존산소 농도를 조절한 다양한 회분식 배양에서 용존산소가 20%일 때 최대 미생물유래 transgiutaminase 생산이 가능하였다. 최분배양에서 용존산소 농도를 20%로 조절한 경우 미생물유래 transglutaminase 생산은 2.12 U/mL이었고, 용존산소를 조절하지 않은 회분식 배양의 미생물유래 transglutaminase 생산보다 1.1배 향상되었다. 역시 가장 높은 미생물유래 transglutaminase 생산은 용존산소를 20%로 조절한 유가식 배양에서 가능하였으며, 용존산소를 조절하지 않은 회분식 배양의 미생물유래 transglutaminase 생산에 비교해서 1.3배 증가하였다. 최대 건조균체량과 미생물유래 transglutaminase 생산은 각각 13.2 g/L와 2.6 U/mL이었다. 용존산소를 20%로 용존산소 농도 자동 조절 시스템에 의해 조절한 유가식 배양은 미생물유래 transgiutaminase 생산에 적절하였으며 다른 미생물 배양에도 적용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

In order to investigate the effect of dissolved oxygen (DO) level on AVM $B_{1a}$ production by a high yielding mutant of Streptomyces avermitilis, five sets of bioreactor cultures were performed under variously controlled DO levels. Using an online computer control system, the agitation speed and aeration rate were automatically controlled in an adaptive manner, responding timely to the oxygen requirement of the producer microorganism. In the two cultures of DO limitation, the onset of AVM $B_{1a}$ biosynthesis was observed to casually coincide with the fermentation time when oxygen-limited conditions were overcome by the producing microorganism. In contrast, this phenomenon did not occur in the parallel fermentations with DO levels controlled at around 30% and 40% throughout the entire fermentation period, showing an almost growth-associated mode of AVM $B_{1a}$ production: AVM $B_{1a}$ biosynthesis under the environments of high DO levels started much earlier than the corresponding oxygen-limited cultures, leading to a significant enhancement of AVM $B_{1a}$ production during the exponential stage. Consequently, approximately 6-fold and 9-fold increases in the final AVM $B_{1a}$ production were obtained in 30% and 40% DO-controlled fermentations, respectively, especially when compared with the culture of severe DO limitation (the culture with 0% DO level during the exponential phase). The production yield ($Y_{p/x}$), volumetric production rate (Qp), and specific production rate (${\bar{q}}_p$) of the 40% DO-controlled culture were observed to be 14%, 15%, and 15% higher, respectively, than those of the parallel cultures that were performed under an excessive agitation speed (350 rpm) and aeration rate (1 vvm) to maintain sufficiently high DO levels throughout the entire fermentation period. These results suggest that high shear damage of the high-yielding strain due to an excessive agitation speed is the primary reason for the reduction of the AVM $B_{1a}$ biosynthetic capability of the producer. As for the cell growth, exponential growth patterns during the initial 3 days were observed in the fermentations of sufficient DO levels, whereas almost linear patterns of cell growth were observed in the other two cultures of DO limitation during the identical period, resulting in apparently lower amounts of DCW. These results led us to conclude that maintenance of optimum DO levels, but not too high to cause potential shear damage on the producer, was crucial not only for the cell growth, but also for the enhanced production of AVM $B_{1a}$ by the filamentous mycelial cells of Streptomyces avermitilis.

The effect of agitation speed and aeration rate on mTG production and cell growth by Streptoverticillum morbarense was investigated. Dissolved oxygen was controlled by on-line computer-controlled fermentation system. The agitation speed and aeration rate of 2.5 L fermentor ranged from 330 to 360 게m and 1 vvm to 4 vvm, respectively. The highest mTG production was 2.1 U/mL when dissolved oxygen level was 20%, and it was improved almost 1.1 times in comparison with that without dissolved uxygen control.

A study on the feasibility of using improved computer-controlled HPLC and GC systems was carried out to shorten the time needed for measuring levels of the substrates (glucose, maltose, and glycerol) and products (acetone, butanol ethanol, acetic acid, and butyric acid) produced by Clostridium saccharobutylicum DSM 13864 during direct fermentation of sago starch to solvent. The use of HPLC system with a single injection to analyse the composition of culture broth (substrates and products) during solvent fermentation was achieved by raising the column temperature to $80^{\circ}C$. Although good separation of the components in the mixture was achieved, a slight overlap was observed in the peaks for butyric acid and acetone. The shape of the peak obtained and the analysis time of 26.66 min were satisfactory at a fixed flow rate of 0.8mL/min. An improved GC system was developed, that was able to measure the products of solvent fermentation (acetone, butanol, ethanol, acetic acid, and butyric acid) within 19.28 min. Excellent resolution for each peak was achieved by adjusting the oven temperature to $65^{\circ}C$.

배양기와 16비트 마이크로컴퓨터를 접속하여 호기성 미생물의 고농도 유가배양시스템을 구성하였다. 기질공급을 위한 제어변수로는 용존산소(DO)를 이용하였다. 용존산소측정기의 출력신호를 컴퓨터에 입력시켜 측정한 DO값에 근거하여 교반모터의 교반속도와 산소유량을 제어함으로써 배양액의 DO를 일정하게 유지하였으며, 연동펌프의 제어에 의해 기질공급을 안정하게 수행하였다. 기질공급의 제어와 DO의 제어를 한가지의 하아드웨어 및 소프트 웨어로 수행할 수 있었다. 제어시스템을 이용하여 메탄올이용균인 Methylobacillus sp. SKI을 유가배양한 결과 배양액의 DO제어와 메탄올 공급의 제어가 무리없이 수행되었으며, 배양 10시간만에 16.53g/l의 균체농도에 도달하였다.
