김치로부터 분리 동정된 Lactobacillus plantarum KLAB21 균주에 있어서 항돌연변이 활성물질 생산을 위한 최적 조건을 조사하였다. 탄소원으로서 glucose 첨가시 가장 높은 항돌연변이 활성을 나타내었으며, 질소원으로서는 yeast extract와 bactopeptone 첨가시 활성이 우수하였다. 탄소원인 glucose의 농도는 2%에서, 질소원인 yeast extract와 bactopeptone의 농도는 1%에서 가장 우수한

Lactobacillus plantarum KLAB21 isolated from kimchi has been shown to produce antimutagenic subtance(s) into the culture medium using Salmonella typhimurium TA100 and S. typhimurium TA98 (Rhee and Park, Korean J. Appl. Microbiol.. Biotechnol., 1999, in press). In this study, the effects of culture conditions were investigated to maximize the production of antimutagenic substance(s) against 4-nitro-O-phenylenediamine(NPD) by the strain KLAB21. Glucose(255) as a carbon source and yeast extract or bactopeptone(1%) as a nitrogen source showed the highest production of the antimutagenic substance(s). Optimal initial pH of the culture medium, culture temperature and shaking speed for the antimutagenic substance(s) production were pH 7.0, 37 and 150rpm, respectively. Under the optimal conditions, the antimutagenic activity of L. plantarum KLAB21 culture supernatant against NPD on Salmonella typhimurium TA100 and S. typhimurium TA98 were 73.95% and 59.74%, respectively.
