Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、たい肥を起源とし、80℃以上で増殖することができ、至適塩濃度の低い新規超好熱菌に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来、家畜糞、し尿、汚泥、都市ごみなどの有機廃棄物に、好熱性微生物を作用させてこれらを好気的に発酵させ、無臭化乾燥させてたい肥を製造することが行われている。そして、このような好熱性微生物としてサーモアクチノミセス属またはサーモモノスポラ属に属する好熱性放射菌 (特許文献1) 、バチルス菌、ゲオバチルス属、乳酸生成菌等の好熱好気性芽胞形成菌混合物 (特許文献2) 、好気性枯草菌 (特許文献3) 、リグニン可溶化能を有するサーマスアクティクス属細菌 (特許文献4) 、好気性繊維分解菌クロストリジュウム サーモセルム サーマスアクティクス (特許文献5) 等が知られている。しかし、これらの微生物を利用しても、発酵時には発酵熱によって発酵温度は70℃以上に上昇するものの、その温度はせいぜい80℃にとどまり、雑菌、特に芽胞形成性雑菌を死滅させることができなかった。また、得られる肥料中の有用な菌体もせいぜい1g当り (肥料乾物)1億前後であって、肥料として使用したときに肥効作用を充分発揮させることができなかった。
【0003】
本発明者らは、汚泥処理におけるこのような問題を解決するために、汚泥を85℃以上、好ましくは95℃以上の高温で発酵処理して雑菌、草種子等を死滅させ、汚泥を清浄化し、しかも有用な菌体を多数含む発酵物を得るべく検討を行った。その結果、生汚泥に、霧島火山地帯の土壌から得られた85℃以上の温度で生育する細菌培養物を加えて混合し、通気発酵させて85℃以上の発酵温度で汚泥中に含有される雑菌、種子を死滅させ、汚泥を清浄化し、有用な菌体のみを多数含有する汚泥発酵物を得る方法を見出し、特許を取得した (特許文献6) 。そして、この汚泥発酵物は、たい肥として利用され、このなかにはBacillus 属、 Geobacillus 属に属する中温性好気性芽胞菌、高温性好気性芽胞菌、好熱菌等が多数見出された。
すなわち、この汚泥発酵物1gには、表1に示すとおり好気性細菌はじめ、高温性細菌、耐熱性芽胞を中心として汚泥発酵物グラム当り約10億の細菌を含んでいた。
【0004】
【表1】

Figure 2005013063
【0005】
また、この培養において培養平板上に優勢に生育した集落を鈎菌して分離菌とし、その分離菌について形態観察などを行って、発酵に関与するような微生物を検索したところ表2に示すような微生物が介在していることが判明した。
【0006】
【表2】
Figure 2005013063
【0007】
このように多形性、無芽胞グラム陽性桿菌、好気性芽胞菌 (中温性及び高温性) が主に介在していることが判明した。
また、一方、 R&D プランニング発行 山里一英他3名編「微生物の分離法」の記載を参考にして好熱菌の測定を行った。好熱菌の優勢菌は好気性芽胞菌 (高温性) であった。
さらに、上記微生物の検索において優勢に分離された中温性好気性芽胞菌 (分離菌a)、高温性好気性芽胞菌 (分離菌b)及び好熱菌 (分離菌c)について形態観察、生理学的性状試験及び菌体内の DNAのGC含量の測定を行った。その結果を表3に示した。
【0008】
【表3】

【0009】
分離菌a は、いずれの種とも性状が一致せず、種の確定には至らなかった。分離菌b は、ややアルカリ性(pH8.0〜8.5)の培地で良好な生育を示し、pH7.0 では生育しないが、その他の性状試験結果から Bacillus badius B.brevis に近い種と思われた。しかし、どちらとも非典型となる性状があり種の確定には至らなかった。また、分離菌c は、バチルス ステロサーモフィルス (Bacillus stearothermophilus) と菌学的性状が一致し同種であると同定されるものの、GC含量が大きく異なるので、近縁の種と思われる。
これらの分離菌は、工業技術院生命工業技術研究所 (現 独立行政法人 産業技術総合研究所微生物寄託センター)に寄託されており、分離菌a は、YM−01 受託番号 FERM P−15085 、分離菌b は、YM−02 受託番号 FERM P−15086 、分離菌cは、YM−03 受託番号 FERM P−15087 とそれぞれ受託番号が付されている。
【0010】
本発明者らは、これらのたい肥中の高温で生育する微生物の存在について、さらに検討したところ、驚くべきことに75℃以上の高温で活発に増殖し、85℃においても増殖が認められるが50℃以下では増殖が認められない新規な属に属する超好熱菌カルドトリックス・サツマエ(Caldothrix satumae)YM081(FERM P−18598)(FERM BP−8233)を見出して特許出願した(特願2001−391561;PCT/JP02/13424)。ところが、その後このたい肥中の超好熱菌についてさらに検討したところ、16srDNA塩基配列においてカルドトリックス・サツマエ(Caldotrix satsumae)YM081株と98%以上の相同性を有するが、栄養要求性や至適塩濃度などの菌学的性質においてCaldotrix satsumae YM081株と相違する数種の微生物の菌株を得た。

【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明の課題は、汚泥を85℃以上で発酵させて得られたたい肥中から超好熱菌のカルドトリックス・サツマエ(Caldotrix satumae)の新菌株を提供することにある。
【0013】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明は、上記課題を解決するために、前記汚泥を85℃以上で発酵させて得られるたい肥 (商品名 サツマソイル)中に存在する好熱性微生物の検索を試みたところ、通常の細菌の培養温度 (30〜40℃) では増殖せず、70〜85℃、特に80℃以上で活発に生育する絶対好気性菌を見出した。そして、この菌について16SrDNA の塩基配列に基づく系統分類解析を行った。その結果、この絶対好気性菌は、グラム陰性で胞子形成能がないにもかかわらず、図1に示されるような胞子形成能を持つグラム陽性土壌細菌 Bacillus, Geobacillus 属と近縁であるがこれらとは少なくとも属レベルにおいて独立の細菌であることを見出した。本発明者らは、これをカルドトリックス サツマエ Caldothrix satsumae, YM081 菌と命名し、この菌株を独立行政法人産業技術総合研究所特許生物寄託センターに寄託し、受託番号 FERM P−18598 (FERM BP−8233)が付与された。
また、この菌の16Sr DNAの全塩基配列は配列表配列番号1のとおりの塩基配列を示す。
【0014】
この超好熱菌は、前記した鹿児島市のし尿等の有機廃棄物を特許第3064221 号公報に記載される方法に従って高温で発酵させて得られる堆肥 (商品名サツマソイル )から分離された。この分離方法としては、次の方法が用いられた。 表4に記載の組成の培地 5mlに、前記たい肥約0.1gを加えて、80℃に保温し、継代をくりかえして濃縮した後、同一の培地にゲランガムを加えたプレート上に単離、精製を反復した。
【0015】
【表4】
Figure 2005013063
【0016】
このようにして得られた菌体の微生物学的性質及び分類学的位置は次のとおりであった。
1) 形態 巾 0.5μm 、長さ 3μm の長桿菌である。グラム染色の結果は陰性を示し、菌体の超薄切片の電子顕微鏡観察も細胞表層構造がグラム陰性型であること、すなわち、細胞膜(形質膜)、細胞壁に加えて、外膜の存在を示した。胞子形成能はない。
2) 70〜85℃で活発に生育し、50℃以下では増殖の認められない。75℃以上の高温で活発に増殖し、85℃においても増殖が認められる。絶対好気性である。
3) 増殖の至適pHは中性である。増殖可能なpH範囲は 6〜9 である。
また、弱好塩性を示す。
4) アルブミン、カゼインなど各種たんぱく質、およびでん粉の資化性がある。
5) ウレアーゼ生産性がある。硝酸還元能はない。硫化水素生産性、インドール生産性はない。
6) DNAの G+C 含量は70.0%である。
7) 16SrDNA の塩基配列に基づく系統分類解析を行った。その結果を図1及び表6に示す。また16SrDNA の全塩基配列は配列表配列番号1に記載のとおりの塩基配列となった。
このように、この菌体は、グラム陰性で胞子形成能がないにも拘わらず、
胞子形成能を持つグラム陽性土壌細菌 Bacillus, Geobacillus 属と近縁であるが、これらとは少なくとも属レベルにおいて独立の細菌である。
【0017】
これらのことより、本発明の微生物は、眞正細菌に属し、超好熱菌であることが判明した。また16SrDNA の塩基配列からは Geobacillus stearothermophilusに近縁であるが、これとは独立の属を形成していることが判明した。
【0018】
そして、本発明者らは、さらに表6に示す培地を基本成分とする培地を用いて、新菌種の探索を行ったところ、数種の高度好熱菌を分離することができた。そして、これらの分離した菌を、YMO 803、YMO 806、YMO 811、YMO 812、YMO 813と命名した。これらの菌株は、YM081株と同じ種と同定できることが判明した。しかしこれらの菌体は、いずれも至適塩分濃度が1%以下であって、カルドトリックス・サツマエ(Caldotrix satsumae)YM081株の至適塩分濃度が3%であるのに対し、至適塩分濃度が低い点に特徴を有する。
これらすべての菌株は、長桿菌で、胞子形成能がなく、グラム陰性の高度高熱性真正細菌で少なくとも80℃で増殖が可能である。これらすべての菌株は、炭素源、窒素源としてカゼイン、可溶性でんぷんを利用し、pH7.5〜8.5の範囲の至適pHを有している。しかし、栄養要求性や至適塩濃度など増殖に関する性質はそれぞれ異なっている。また、16SrDNAの塩基配列はそれぞれ株毎に異なるが、YM081株を含め相互に配列相同性が98%以上あり、すべて同一種と同定できる。
【0019】
【発明の効果】
し尿等の有機廃棄物を原料として発酵培養物を接種し、発酵を行うと、多数の Bacillus 属、Geobacillus 属に属する中等度好熱菌等によって発酵温度が上昇する。その後、発酵温度が上昇するに従い、本発明の数種の超好熱菌カルドトリックスが高温型コンポストにおける有機廃棄物の分解と発酵に関与するようになる。従って、本発明の超好熱菌は有機廃棄物(し尿、家畜糞、都市ごみ、汚泥等)をその塩分濃度が低い部分であっても高温で分解し、発酵させたい肥を製造する種菌、培地等として有用に利用される。
さらに、この超好熱菌の産生するプロテアーゼおよびアミラーゼは高温で活性を有するので、この性質を利用して耐熱性酵素を製造することが期待される。
【0020】
【実施例】
次に本発明の参考例及び実施例について説明する。しかし、本発明はこれらの参考例及び実施例に限定して解釈されるべきではない。
【参考例1】
1.菌体培養物の調製
鹿児島県姶良郡牧園町の霧島火山帯の硫黄地帯の37〜40℃の土壌とその付近の水田の青苔の生育している土壌とを混合し、これに蔗糖を 500〜1000倍量の水に溶解した蔗糖水溶液を土壌混合物 1m当り 3〜4L加え、40〜50℃で30〜50日間放置して培養する。この培養物をいくつかのロットに公共下水道の生汚泥と混合し、空気を吹き込みながら好気的条件下で発酵させ、85℃以上の発酵温度が得られるロットを菌体培養物とした。
【0021】
2. 生汚泥の処理
動物糞、下水の汚泥、澱粉カス及び生ゴミの混合物に消石灰を加えて消臭処理し、その80重量部に前記(1) で得られた菌体培養物20重量部を混合し、発酵槽内で通気条件下で発酵を行う。このようにすると発酵物が約1日のうちに常温から85〜95℃に上昇する。この温度で発酵を3日間維持し、発酵開始後5日目に切り返し(撹拌)を行う。切り返しにより発酵物の温度は60℃前後に低下するが約1日のうちに温度85〜95℃に上昇する。この温度に5日間維持して発酵を行う。この発酵及び切り返しの操作を数回繰り返すと切り返しのさいの温度及び発酵温度が次第に低下する。4回この操作を繰り返し、切り返しのさいの発酵物の温度が35℃程度に低下したときを最終発酵日とする。得られた発酵物を菌体培養物として使用する。この菌体培養物は乾燥されて際茶色の顆粒状になっている。
【0022】
3.原料たい肥の調製
鹿児島市の公共下水道汚泥を圧縮脱水し、水分68%となった生汚泥80重量部に対し、前記2で得られた菌体培養物20重量部を混合し、発酵ヤードに入れ、下から空気を吹き込みながら発酵を行った。発酵開始後7日で温度98℃に達した。10日間発酵を行って、発酵温度が98℃から低下しはじめた時点で、切り返しを行って再度発酵させた。最初99℃の温度に達した後、すなわち切り返し後10日目に温度が急速に60〜70℃に低下した。この時点で、発酵ヤードに発酵生成物を拡げ急速に温度を常温まで低下させ、茶色の汚泥発酵粉末を得た。この汚泥発酵粉末はたい肥として、または前記発酵を行うための菌体培養物あるいは培地として用いられる。
【0023】
【参考例2】
超好熱菌の単離
参考例1で得られた、たい肥を試料として約0.1gを、表4の培地 5mlに接種し、80℃に保温し、継代を繰り返して濃縮したのち、同一組成の培地にゲランガムを加えたプレート上で単離精製を繰り返して超好熱菌を得た。
なお、たい肥試料を、ヘプトン・イーストエキス培地 (各0.5, 0.3%, pH7.2)に加えて70℃で培養し、増殖した細菌を寒天プレート(pH7.2、70℃) 上で単離したことろ、温度70℃以上で従来から堆肥の発酵をになうとされているGeobacillustearothermophilusほか、その他の多数の新規な好熱性細菌が見出された。

この結果、この超好熱菌は、眞正細菌に属し、グラム陰性で胞子形成能がないにもかかわらず、胞子形成能をもつグラム陰性土壌細菌BacillusGeobacillus 属とは近縁であるので、新属に属することは明らかとなった。また、DNAのGC含量については、表6にみられるように90%に達する相同性を示す菌はなく、また2つの属、Bacillus属とGeobacillus 属のそれぞれから等距離(各85%) 離れているので新属と判定される(表6及び図1参照)。そしてこの属をカルドトリックスと命名した。至適増殖温度が80℃であるので、この菌は超好熱菌であることも明らかとなった。
なお、本発明のカルドトリックス・サツマエ (Caldothrix satsumae) YM081株 と枯草菌 (Bacillus subtilus) との生化学的性質を比較すると表7のとおりである。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a novel hyperthermophilic bacterium that originates from compost and can grow at 80 ° C. or higher and has a low optimum salt concentration.
[0002]
[Prior art]
2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, it has been practiced to produce fertilizer that is fermented aerobically by causing thermophilic microorganisms to act on organic waste such as livestock excrement, human waste, sludge, municipal waste, etc., and then drying without bromide. And, as such a thermophilic microorganism, a thermophilic aerobic spore-forming bacterium mixture such as a thermophilic radiobacterium belonging to the genus Thermoactinomyces or Thermomonospora (Patent Document 1), Bacillus bacterium, Geobacillus genus, lactic acid-producing bacterium, etc. Patent Document 2), aerobic Bacillus subtilis (Patent Document 3), bacterium belonging to the genus Thermus actis having solubilizing ability of lignin (Patent Document 4), aerobic fiber-degrading bacterium Clostridium thermocellum thermosactics (Patent Document 5), etc. Are known. However, even if these microorganisms are used, the fermentation temperature rises to 70 ° C. or higher due to the heat of fermentation during fermentation, but the temperature remains at most 80 ° C., and it is not possible to kill germs, especially spore-forming germs. It was. In addition, the useful cells in the obtained fertilizer was at most 100 million per gram (fertilizer dry matter), and when used as a fertilizer, the fertilizing effect could not be fully exhibited.
[0003]
In order to solve such problems in the sludge treatment, the present inventors fermented the sludge at a high temperature of 85 ° C. or higher, preferably 95 ° C. or higher to kill germs, grass seeds, etc., and purify the sludge. In addition, studies were made to obtain a fermented product containing many useful cells. As a result, a bacterial culture grown at a temperature of 85 ° C. or higher obtained from soil in the Kirishima volcanic area is added to raw sludge, mixed, aerated and fermented, and contained in the sludge at a fermentation temperature of 85 ° C. or higher. We found a method to kill miscellaneous bacteria and seeds, clean sludge, and obtain a fermented sludge containing only useful cells, and obtained a patent (Patent Document 6). This sludge fermented product was used as compost, and among them, many mesophilic aerobic spore bacteria, thermophilic aerobic spore bacteria, thermophilic bacteria belonging to the genus Bacillus , Geobacillus were found.
That is, as shown in Table 1, 1 g of this sludge fermented product contained about 1 billion bacteria per gram of the sludge fermented product, mainly aerobic bacteria, thermophilic bacteria, and heat-resistant spores.
[0004]
[Table 1]
Figure 2005013063
[0005]
Also, in this culture, the colony that grew predominantly on the culture plate was transformed into gonococcus and used as isolates, and the microorganisms involved in fermentation were searched by morphological observation of the isolates, as shown in Table 2. It was found that various microorganisms were present.
[0006]
[Table 2]
Figure 2005013063
[0007]
Thus, it was found that polymorphism, aerobic gram-positive bacillus, and aerobic spore bacteria (mesophilic and hyperthermic) are mainly intervening.
On the other hand, thermophilic bacteria were measured by referring to the description of “Microbial Separation Method” by Kazuhide Yamazato et al. The dominant thermophile was aerobic spore bacteria (thermophilic).
Further, morphological observation, physiological observation on mesophilic aerobic spore bacteria (isolated bacterium a), thermophilic aerobic spore bacteria (isolated bacterium b) and thermophilic bacterium (isolated bacterium c), which were predominantly isolated in the search for microorganisms, The property test and the GC content of the DNA in the cells were measured. The results are shown in Table 3.
[0008]
[Table 3]
Figure 2005013063
Figure 2005013063
[0009]
The isolate a did not match the properties of any species, and the species was not confirmed. The isolated bacterium b exhibits good growth in a slightly alkaline medium (pH 8.0 to 8.5) and does not grow at pH 7.0, but other properties test results indicate that Bacillus badius and B. It seemed to be a species close to brevis . However, both have atypical properties and the species was not finalized. In addition, although the isolated bacterium c is identified as the same species with the same bacteriological properties as Bacillus stearothermophilus, it is considered to be a closely related species because the GC content is greatly different.
These isolates have been deposited with the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (currently the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST)), and the isolate a is YM-01 accession number FERM P-15085. Bacterium b is assigned the YM-02 accession number FERM P-15086, and the isolated bacterium c is assigned the accession number YM-03 accession number FERM P-15087.

The present inventors further examined the presence of microorganisms that grow at high temperatures in these composts. Surprisingly, they proliferated actively at a high temperature of 75 ° C. or higher, and proliferation was observed even at 85 ° C. 50 A patent application was filed for the discovery of a hyperthermophilic bacterium, Caldorix satumae YM081 (FERM P-18598) (FERM BP-8233), which belongs to a novel genus in which growth is not observed at or below C (patent application 2001-391561). PCT / JP02 / 13424). However, when the hyperthermophile in the compost was further examined, it was found that the 16 srDNA nucleotide sequence had 98% or more homology with Caldotric satsumae YM081, but auxotrophy and optimal salt concentration Thus, several strains of microorganisms different from the Caldotrix satsumae YM081 strain were obtained.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]
An object of the present invention is to provide a new strain of a hyperthermophilic bacterium, Caldoxtrix satumae, from compost obtained by fermenting sludge at 85 ° C. or higher.
[0013]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention tried to search for thermophilic microorganisms present in compost (trade name Satsuma Soyle) obtained by fermenting the sludge at 85 ° C. or higher. (30-40 ° C.) An absolute aerobic bacterium that did not proliferate and grew actively at 70-85 ° C., particularly 80 ° C. or higher was found. Then, a phylogenetic analysis based on the base sequence of 16S rDNA was performed on this bacterium. As a result, this aerobic bacterium is closely related to the gram-positive soil bacteria Bacillus and Geobacillus genus having spore-forming ability as shown in FIG. Was found to be an independent bacterium at least at the genus level. The present inventors named this strain Caldtrix Satsumae Caldotrix satsumae , YM081, and deposited this strain at the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology Patent Organism Depositary, under the accession number FERM P-18598 (FERM BP-8233). ) Was granted.
Further, the entire base sequence of 16Sr DNA of this bacterium shows the base sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO: 1 in the sequence listing.
[0014]
This hyperthermophilic bacterium was isolated from compost (trade name Satsuma Soyle) obtained by fermenting organic waste such as human waste in Kagoshima City at a high temperature according to the method described in Japanese Patent No. 3064221. As the separation method, the following method was used. About 5 g of the medium shown in Table 4 was added with about 0.1 g of compost, kept at 80 ° C., repeated after passage, and concentrated on the same medium with gellan gum added. The purification was repeated.

[0016]
The microbiological properties and taxonomic position of the bacterial cells thus obtained were as follows.
1) Morphology A long bacillus having a width of 0.5 μm and a length of 3 μm. Gram staining results are negative, and electron microscopic observations of ultrathin sections of cells also show that the cell surface structure is gram-negative, that is, the presence of the outer membrane in addition to the cell membrane (plasma membrane) and cell wall It was. There is no sporulation ability.
2) It grows actively at 70-85 ° C, and no growth is observed at 50 ° C or lower. It proliferates actively at a high temperature of 75 ° C. or higher, and growth is also observed at 85 ° C. Absolute aerobic.
3) The optimum pH for growth is neutral. The proliferative pH range is 6-9.
Moreover, it shows weak halophilicity.
4) Various proteins such as albumin and casein, and starch assimilation.
5) There is urease productivity. There is no nitrate reduction ability. There is no hydrogen sulfide productivity or indole productivity.
6) The G + C content of DNA is 70.0%.
7) Phylogenetic analysis based on the base sequence of 16S rDNA was performed. The results are shown in FIG. The entire base sequence of 16S rDNA was the base sequence described in SEQ ID NO: 1 in the Sequence Listing.
In this way, this microbial cell is gram-negative and has no sporulation ability,
It is closely related to the gram-positive soil bacteria Bacillus and Geobacillus having spore-forming ability, but these are independent bacteria at least at the genus level.
[0017]
From these facts, it was found that the microorganism of the present invention belongs to the eumorphic bacterium and is a hyperthermophilic bacterium. The 16S rDNA base sequence was closely related to Geobacillus stearothermophilus , but was found to form an independent genus.
[0018]
And when the present inventors further searched for a new microbial species using the culture medium which uses the culture medium shown in Table 6 as a basic component, several kinds of highly thermophilic bacteria could be isolated. And these isolate | separated microbes were named YMO803, YMO806, YMO811, YMO812, YMO813. It was found that these strains can be identified as the same species as the YM081 strain. However, all of these cells have an optimum salinity of 1% or less, and the optimum salinity of the Caltotrix satsumae YM081 strain is 3%, whereas the optimum salinity is 3%. Characterized by low points.
All these strains are long bacillus, have no spore-forming ability, and are gram-negative highly hyperthermophilic eubacteria that can grow at least at 80 ° C. All these strains utilize casein and soluble starch as a carbon source and nitrogen source, and have an optimum pH in the range of pH 7.5 to 8.5. However, growth-related properties such as auxotrophy and optimum salt concentration are different. The 16S rDNA base sequence varies from strain to strain, but the sequence homology is 98% or more, including the YM081, and all can be identified as the same species.
[0019]
【The invention's effect】
When inoculating a fermented culture using organic waste such as human waste as a raw material and performing fermentation, the fermentation temperature rises due to a number of moderately thermophilic bacteria belonging to the genus Bacillus and Geobacillus . Thereafter, as the fermentation temperature rises, several hyperthermophilic bacteria of the present invention become involved in the decomposition and fermentation of organic waste in high-temperature compost. Therefore, the hyperthermophilic bacterium of the present invention is an inoculum and medium for producing fertilizer to be fermented by decomposing organic waste (human waste, livestock dung, municipal waste, sludge, etc.) at a high temperature even in a portion having a low salinity. It is useful as such.
Furthermore, since the protease and amylase produced by this hyperthermophilic bacterium have activity at high temperatures, it is expected to produce a thermostable enzyme using this property.
[0020]
【Example】
Next, reference examples and examples of the present invention will be described. However, the present invention should not be construed as being limited to these reference examples and examples.
[Reference Example 1]
1. Preparation of cell culture <br/> Soil at 37-40 ℃ in the sulfur area of Kirishima volcanic zone in Makino-cho, Aira-gun, Kagoshima Prefecture, and the soil where green moss from paddy fields in the vicinity is grown. 3-4 L of sucrose aqueous solution in which sucrose is dissolved in 500 to 1000 times the amount of water is added per 1 m 3 of the soil mixture, and the mixture is allowed to stand at 40-50 ° C. for 30-50 days and cultured. This culture was mixed with raw sludge from public sewers in several lots, and fermented under aerobic conditions while blowing air, and a lot that gave a fermentation temperature of 85 ° C. or higher was defined as a cell culture.
[0021]
2. Treatment of raw sludge Deodorized by adding slaked lime to a mixture of animal dung, sewage sludge, starch residue and raw garbage, and 80 parts by weight of the microbial cell culture 20 obtained in (1) above A weight part is mixed and it ferments under aeration conditions in a fermenter. If it does in this way, fermented material will rise from normal temperature to 85-95 degreeC in about one day. Fermentation is maintained at this temperature for 3 days, and turning back (stirring) is performed on the 5th day after the start of fermentation. Although the temperature of the fermented product decreases to around 60 ° C. by reversal, the temperature rises to 85-95 ° C. within about one day. Fermentation is carried out at this temperature for 5 days. If this fermentation and turnover operation is repeated several times, the temperature at the turnover and the fermentation temperature gradually decrease. This operation is repeated four times, and the time when the temperature of the fermented product at the time of turnover falls to about 35 ° C. is defined as the final fermentation date. The obtained fermented product is used as a cell culture. The cell culture is dried to give brown granules.
[0022]
3. Preparation of raw material compost Compressed and dehydrated public sewer sludge from Kagoshima City, mixed with 20 parts by weight of raw sludge having a moisture content of 68%, and 20 parts by weight of the cell culture obtained in 2 above. It put into the fermentation yard and fermented, blowing air from the bottom. The temperature reached 98 ° C. 7 days after the start of fermentation. Fermentation was carried out for 10 days, and when the fermentation temperature began to decrease from 98 ° C., it was turned back and fermented again. The temperature dropped rapidly to 60-70 ° C. after first reaching a temperature of 99 ° C., ie 10 days after switching. At this point, the fermentation product was spread in the fermentation yard and the temperature was rapidly lowered to room temperature to obtain a brown sludge fermentation powder. This sludge fermented powder is used as compost or as a cell culture or medium for performing the fermentation.
[0023]
[Reference Example 2]
Isolation of hyperthermophilic bacteria About 0.1 g of the compost obtained in Reference Example 1 was inoculated into 5 ml of the medium shown in Table 4, kept at 80C, and concentrated by repeated passages. After that, isolation and purification were repeated on a plate in which gellan gum was added to a medium having the same composition to obtain a hyperthermophilic bacterium.
In addition, compost samples were added to hepton yeast extract medium (0.5, 0.3%, pH 7.2) and cultured at 70 ° C, and the grown bacteria were grown on an agar plate (pH 7.2, 70 ° C). In addition to Geobacillus stearothermophilus, which has been conventionally used for fermentation of compost at a temperature of 70 ° C. or higher, many other novel thermophilic bacteria have been found.
[0024]
[Reference Example 3]
Microbiological properties of hyperthermophilic bacteria Hyperthermophilic bacteria obtained in Reference Example 2 were obtained from casein 0.3%, yeast extract 0.2%, starch 0.1%, NaCl 3%. Inoculated into an agar medium having a pH of 7 to 8 and cultured at 80 ° C. for 24 hours, and its microbiological properties were examined. The results are shown in Table 5.
Photomicrographs of this hyperthermophilic bacterium are shown in FIGS.
[0025]
[Table 5]
Figure 2005013063
Figure 2005013063
The entire base sequence was determined based on the base sequence of 16Sr DNA, and a molecular phylogenetic tree was prepared based on the base sequence. The results are shown in FIG.
[0026]
[Table 6]
Figure 2005013063
[0027]
As a result, this hyperthermophilic bacterium belongs to the eustatic bacteria, and is closely related to the gram-negative soil bacteria Bacillus and Geobacillus genus having spore-forming ability, despite being gram-negative and not having spore-forming ability, It became clear that it belonged to a new genus. In addition, as for the GC content of DNA, as shown in Table 6, there are no bacteria showing homology reaching 90%, and they are equidistant from each of the two genera, Bacillus genus and Geobacillus genus (each 85%). Therefore, it is determined as a new genus (see Table 6 and FIG. 1). And this genus was named Caldtrix. Since the optimal growth temperature was 80 ° C., it was also revealed that this bacterium is a hyperthermophilic bacterium.
Table 7 shows a comparison of the biochemical properties of the present invention between Caldoxtrix satsumae YM081 and Bacillus subtilus.
[0028]

[Example 1]
About 0.1 g of the compost obtained in Reference Example 1 as a sample was inoculated into 5 ml of the medium having the composition shown in Table 8, kept at 80 ° C., repeatedly subcultured, and concentrated to the medium having the same composition. The hyperthermophile of the present invention was obtained by repeating isolation and purification on a plate to which gellan gum was added. These isolated strains were named YMO803, YMO806, YMO811, YMO812, YMO813. As described above, these strains are all long bacillus, have no spore-forming ability, and are gram-negative highly thermophilic eubacteria capable of growing at least at 80 ° C. All these strains utilize casein and soluble starch as the carbon source and nitrogen source, and have an optimum pH in the range of pH 7.5 to 8.5. However, as described below, properties related to growth such as auxotrophy and optimum salt concentration are different. It is particularly characterized in that the optimum temperature is 1% or less, particularly 0.3 to 0.8%.

In addition, the base sequence of 16S rDNA varies from strain to strain, but as shown in Table 12, there is a sequence homology of 98% or more including YM081 strain, and all can be identified as the same species. Only the fact that these strains have different properties from the YM081 strain is shown in Table 9. As can be seen from this table, some fungi require the addition of trace metal elements. The composition of this trace metal element is shown in Table 10. Some strains also require a fertilizer extract for growth. The method for preparing this compost extract is shown in Table 11.

The base sequences of 16S rDNA of these strains are shown in SEQ ID NOs: 2 to 6 in Sequence Listing. As shown in Table 12, although the base sequence of 16S rDNA is different for each strain, the sequence homology with each other including the strain YM081 is 98% or more, and all are identified as the same species. These are considered to be related to the collaborative work of these strains in the decomposition of organic waste in high heat compost. Moreover, it uses for the isolation | separation of a thermostable enzyme, etc. using the high heat | fever high temperature heat property of these strains.
