리그닌 분해 담자균류로 알려져 있는 느타리버섯균 No.42는 망간퍼옥시데이즈(MnP) 및 락게이즈(Lac)를 생산하였으나 글루코오스-펩톤-이스트-밀기울(GPYW)배지를 이용한 정치배양조건하에서 리그닌퍼옥시데이즈(LiP)활성은 검출 되지 않았다. 한편, 동일배지에서 망간퍼옥시데이즈 활성은 11일째 80(3.6) U/flask(ml)의 최대 생산되었다. 망간퍼옥시 데이즈 분리정제는 Sepha-ros CL-6B 및 Mono-Q 컬럼순으로 수행하였으며 주요 망간퍼옥시데이즈 isozyme은 단일밴 드로 분자량은 36.4KDa이였다. N-말단으로부터 19개의 아 미노산 배열은 단백질 자동 분석 장치로 분석한 결과 ATCADGRTTANAACCVLFP를 나타내었다. 느타리버섯균 No.42의 정치배양조건 하에서 세포외로 생산되는 중요한 망간퍼옥시데이즈 isozyme의 N-말단 아미노산 배열은 이전에 보고된 MnP3의 아미노산 배열과 동일하였다.

Bacterial cellulose (BC) has played important role as new functional material for food industry and industrial products based on its unique properties. The interest in BC from static cultures has increased steadily in recent years because of its potential for use in medicine and cosmetics. In this study, we investigated culture condition for BC production by Acetobacter sp. F15 in static culture. The strain F15, which was isolated from decayed fruit, was selected on the basis of BC thickness. The optimal medium compositions for BC production were glucose 7%, soytone 12%, K2HPO4 0.2%, NaH2PO4ㆍ2H2O 0.2%, lactic acid 0.05% and ethanol 0.3%, respectively. The strain F15 was able to produce BC at 26℃-36℃ with a maximum at 32 ℃. BC production occurred at pH 4.5-8 with a maximum at pH 6.5. Under these conditions, a maximum BC thickness of 12.15 mm was achieved after 9 days of cultivation; this value was about 2.3-fold higher than the thickness in basic medium. Scanning electron micrographs showed that BC from the optimal medium was more compact than plant cellulose and was reticulated structure consisting of ultrafine cellulose fibrils. BC from the optimal medium was found to be of cellulose type I, the same as typical native cellulose.

The quality of brown rice vinegar that was produced via static culture (A) was compared with the quality of three types of domestic commercial brown rice vinegar (B, C, and D) and of three types of Japanese brown rice vinegar (E, F, and G). The results showed titratable acidity levels of 6.39%, 4.52-6.32%, and 4.51-4.89% in the static-cultured brown rice vinegar, the domestic commercial brown rice vinegars, and the Japanese brown rice vinegars, respectively. The pH levels were 3.28, 2.58-2.97, and 3.03-3.27 in the static-culture brown rice vinegar, the domestic commercial brown rice vinegars, and the Japanese brown rice vinegars, respectively, which show similar values of the static-culture brown rice vinegar and the Japanese brown rice vinegars. The total nitrogen (TN) values of the static-culture brown rice vinegar, the domestic commercial brown rice vinegars, and the Japanese brown rice vinegars were 0.24, 0.03-0.16, and 0.12-0.17, respectively, with the highest value for the static-culture brown rice vinegar, substantial differences among the domestic commercial brown rice vinegars, and similar contents among the Japanese brown rice vinegars. For free sugar, glucose was either detected only in a small quantity or not detected at all in the static-culture brown rice vinegar and the Japanese brown rice vinegars, which showed perfect fermentation. The glucose and maltose contents were higher in the domestic commercial brown rice vinegars. The organic acid content of the static-culture brown rice vinegar was similar to that of the Japanese brown rice vinegars. Therefore, the total acidity content, TN value, sensory property, and quality of the static-culture brown rice vinegar (A) were superior to those of the domestic and Japanese brown rice vinegars.
