Fomitopsis pinicola 균사체로부터 Laccase의 최적생산조건

The culture conditions to maximize the production of laccase (EC 1.10.3.2) from Fomitopsis pinicola mycelia were investigated. Among the tested media for the enzyme production, mushroom complete medium (MCM ; 2% dextrose, 0.2% peptone, 0.2% yeast extract, 0.05% $KH_2PO_4$, and 0.05% $MgSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O$) showed the highest activity of the enzyme. To optimize the culture condition for the laccase activity, influence of various carbon and nitrogen sources was investigated in MCM. Among various carbon and nitrogen sources, 2% glucose and 0.4% peptone showed the highest production of the enzyme, respectively. For the phosphorus and inorganic source, 0.05% $NaH_2PO_4$ and 0.05% $CaCl_2$ were best for the enzyme activity. The enzyme production was reached to highest level after the cultivation for 8 days at $25^{\circ}C$. Native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) followed by the laccase activity staining using 2, 2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) as the substrate was performed to identify the laccase under culture conditions studied. Zymogram analysis of the culture supernatant showed a laccase band with molecular mass of 52 kDa. The optimum pH and temperature for the enzyme activity were $80^{\circ}C$ and pH 3.0. 소나무잔나비버섯(Fomitopsis pinicola) 균사로부터 laccase를 생산하기 위한 최적 배양조건을 조사하였다. 합성 배지 중 MCM이 가장 높은 laccase활성을 나타내었으며, MCM의 조성을 2% dextrose, 0.4% peptone, 0.05% $NaH_2PO_4{\cdot}H_2O$, 0.05% $CaCl_2$로 각각 대체하였을 때 효소활성이 가장 우수하였다. 따라서 F. pinicola로부터 laccase를 생산하기 위한 최적 배지조건은 2% dextrose, 0.4% peptone, 0.05% $NaH_2PO_4{\cdot}H_2O$, 0.05% $CaCl_2$이다. 이상의 배지를 사용하여 $25^{\circ}C$에서 8일 동안 배양하였을 때 효소의 활성이 최대에 도달함을 확인하였다. ABTS를 기질로 사용한 activity staining을 통해 소나무잔나비버섯 균사체의 laccase 활성의 분자량이 43-55 kDa임을 확인하였으며, 배양액 중의 최적 pH와 온도는 각각 pH 3.0과 $80^{\circ}C$이었다.
