본 연구는 느타리버섯 수확후배지를 배지자원으로 재사용하기 위하여 미생물처리에 의한 수확후 배지의 총질소함량 증진효과를 조사하였다. Bacillus sp. GM20-4 와 Rhodobacter sphaeroides(RS) 배양액 30%를 함께 접종하여 5일간 상온에서 배양 시 총질소 함량이 가장 크게 증가하였다. 농가의 수확후배지 조성에 따른 GM20-4와 RS 처리에 의한 T-N함량 변화를 조사하기 위하여 경기 지역 버섯재배농가 세 곳의 수확후배지(spent mushroom substrates, SMS A, B, C)를 수집하여 GM20-4 와 RS 배양액 30%를 처리한 결과, 무처리구에 비해 건조 SMS B 에서 T-N함량이 20%p로 가장 크게 증가하였고, 건조 SMS A는 17%, C는 12% 증가하였다. 반면에 생수확후 배지에서는 미생물 처리에 의한 T-N 함량 증가 효과가 크지 않았다. 또한 아미노산 조성별 함량 변화는 건조된 SMS A, B, C 모두 GM20-4와 RS 처리로 aspatic acid와 glutamic acid가 상대적으로 높게 증가한 결과를 보였고, 특히 건조 SMS B의 처리구에서 두 아미노산의 함량이 무처리구보다 2.9배 증가를 보임으로서 미생물처리가 수확후배지의 총질소 및 아미노산 함량의 증진효과를 확인하였다.
This study was conducted to reuse spent mushroom substrates (SMS) of Pleurotus ostreatus and improve their nitrogen content by bacterial treatment. Two kinds of bacteria were used to investigate the increase in total nitrogen (T-N) content. Bacillus sp. (GM20-4) was isolated from SMS of oyster mushroom, and Rhodobacter sphaeroides (RS) was obtained from Gwangju Si Agricultural Technology Center. SMS samples were collected from three oyster mushroom cultivation farms located in Gyeonggi-do province, Korea. When dried SMS was inoculated with 30% culture broth of GM20-4 and RS and incubated at room temperature (25±2℃) for 5 days, T-N content increased. To investigate the T-N content of other SMS, three dried SMS samples (A, B, and C) were treated by the same method using GM20-4 and RS. As a result, the T-N content of sample B was 20% higher than that of the control, whereas the T-N content of samples A and C increased to 17% and 12%, respectively. The change in T-N content by bacterial treatment of wet SMS was slightly higher than that of the control. The changes in amino acid content were also found to be higher than those in the control in all SMS samples by GM20-4 and RS treatment. Aspartic acid and glutamic acid contents were the highest among all amino acid compositions. Especially, the aspartic and glutamic acid contents of sample B increased by 2.9 folds higher than the control.
