전통 발효 식품인 가자미 식 해로부터 cholesterol oxidase 생산성이 있는 균주를 분리하고 이들 분리된 균주들로 부터 여러 단계의 균주 선별시험을 통하여 cholesterol oxidate 생산성이 우수한 미생물을 선별하여 그 특성을 조사하였다. Cholesterol oxidase의 생산성이 가장 우수한 SFF34의 배양학적, 생리학적 특성 및 세포벽 지방산 조성을 조사하여 Bergey's Mannual of Systematic Ba

In order to develop the Production and application of cholesterol oxidase, a cholesterol degradation bacteria which produces a remarkable amount of extracellular cholesterol oxidase has been isolated from Korea traditional salt fermented flat fish. The isolated strain was identified as a strain of Bacil1us sp. based on its morphological, physiological characteristics and cellular fatty acid compositions. Experiments were carried out to optimize the condition of cholesterol oxidase production using Bacillus sp. SFF34. Bacillus sp. SFF34 was shown to give the maximum yield of cholesterol oxidase in the medium containing 2.0% glucose, 0.5% yeast extract, 0.02% MgSO7HO, 0.025% KHPO, 0.15% NHNO and 0.2% cholesterol. The optimum culture conditions, temperature, initial pH and agitation speed were 30, 7.0 and 150rpm respectively. The enzyme production reached a maximum level at 24 hrs of cultivation(2.42 U/ml).
