Aspergillus niger에 있어서 여러가지 섬유질 기질이 세포내외의 섬유질 분해효소계의 생합성 및 동질효소의 양상에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. Cellulase 및 xylanase 효소계의 생합성은 사용된 기질에 따라 큰 차이가 있었으며, 특히 cellulase 효소계의 CMCase와 ${\beta}-glucosidase$는 혼합기질의 사용시 효소활성이 증진되는 기질의 공조효과를 보였다. 또한 기질에 따라 섬유질분해효소계 동질효소의 생성 양상이 다르게 나타났으나 세포내외간 동질효소 양상의 차이는 발견되지 않았으며 배양시간에 따른 동질효소의 변화도 없었다. 이러한 결과들은 A. niger의 cellulase 및 xylanase효소계의 생합성은 기질에 의한 효소의 유도 수준에서 상호 연관적으로 조절되어짐을 보여주며, 세포외 효소에서 나타나는 multiple-isozyme의 형성이 합성되어진 효소의 post-secretional modification에 의한 결과라기 보다는 각각의 유전자 발현 결과에 의한 것임을 시사한다.

This study was aimed at an evaluation of the potential inheritance of electroporation effects on Lactobacillus fermentum BT 8219 through to three subsequent subcultures, based on their growth, isoflavone bioconversion activities, and probiotic properties, in biotin-supplemented soymilk. Electroporation was seen to cause cell death immediately after treatment, followed by higher growth than the control during fermentation in biotin-soymilk (P<0.05). This was associated with enhanced intracellular and extracellular ${\beta}$-glucosidase specific activity, leading to increased bioconversion of isoflavone glucosides to aglycones (P<0.05). The growing characteristics, enzyme, and isoflavone bioconversion activities of the first, second, and third subcultures of treated cells in biotin-soymilk were similar to the control (P>0.05). Electroporation affected the probiotic properties of parent L. fermentum BT 8219, by reducing its tolerance towards acid (pH 2) and bile, lowering its inhibitory activities against selected pathogens, and reducing its ability for adhesion, when compared with the control (P<0.05). The first, second, and third subcultures of the treated cells showed comparable traits with that of the control (P>0.05), with the exception of their bile tolerance ability, which was inherited to the treated cells of the first and second subcultures (P<0.05). Our results suggest that electroporation could be used to increase the bioactivity of biotin-soymilk via fermentation with probiotic L. fermentum BT 8219, with a view towards the development of functional foods.
