Klebsiella sp. L-10 의 N-methyl-N`-nitro-N``-nitrosoguanidine 변이주인 Klebsiella sp. L-10 NTG-50으로부터 생산된 고점성의 히알우론산 복합체를 이상계 추출법으로 정제하여 물리화학적 성질을 조사하였다. 정제된 히알우론산 복합체의 점도는 온도와 염농도가 높아짐에 따라 낮아졌고 pH 5.0 이하와 11.0 이상에도 매우 낮았다. 정제된 히알우론산 복합체의 굳기(hardness)는 1.20kg, 응집성(cohesiveness)은 1.92, 점착성(adhesiveness)은 0.62 이었다. 또한 보수력은 g당 6.9ml이었다.
High viscous hyaluronic acid complex from Klebsiella sp. L-10 NTG 50 mutant was purified by two-phase extraction system using PEG-K_2HPO_4 and its physicochemical properties were investigated. Viscosity of the purified hyaluronic acid complex was decreased as temperature and salts concentration were increased and also showed low viscosity at below pH 5.0 and above pH 11.0. Hardness, cohesiveness and adhesiveness of the purified hyaluronic acid complex were 1, 20kg, 1.91 and 0.62, respectively. Water holding capacity was 6.9ml per gram of the purified hyaluronic acid complex powder.
