Description

A novel strain of Gluconacetobacter spp. Isolated from citrus juices and a method for producing a cellulose gel using the same {A novel strain of Gluconacetobacter sp. gel_SEA623-2 from citrus juice and cellulose gel by using it}

The present invention relates to a novel Gluconacetobacter sp. Gel_SEA623-2 strain isolated from citrus juice and used for the preparation of cellulose gel, and a method for producing cellulose gel using the same.

Cellulose is one of the most abundant biological materials in nature. Especially, cellulose produced by acetic acid bacteria has attracted much attention not only as an additive of food but also as a new value-added industrial new material.

Since it has been reported that acetic acid bacteria produce cellulose (Brown. AJ, J. Chem. Soc., Vol. 49, pp. 432-439, 1986), microbial cellulose (Bacterial Cellulose) is a new material. Has not been studied. Plant-derived cellulose and bacterial cellulose show a great structural difference. That is, the microbial-derived bacterial cellulose is composed of ribbon-like bundles, while the plant-derived cellulose is composed of bundles of microfibrils.

In particular, cellulose produced by acetic acid bacteria is produced in a pure state that contains no lignin or hemicellulose, unlike plant-derived cellulose composed of bundles of microfibrils. As a result of research on productivity improvement, genetic manipulation, establishment of culture conditions by improving the strain, it can be used as advanced materials such as industrial materials for high strength, composite fibers, medical materials and enzyme immobilization.

Current strains producing cellulose include Acetobacter sp., Agrobacterium sp., Rhizobium sp., Pseudomonas sp., And Sarcina sp. ) are hollow, especially acetonitrile bakteo Here Come been a lot num (Acetobacter xylium), acetonitrile bakteo wave Uriah Stephen Augustine (A. pasteurinanus) and acetonitrile bakteo century you (A. hansenii) in acetonitrile in bakteo (Acetobacter sp.). Recently, 16S rRNA sequencing has been used to reclassify the molecular system, and the strain producing high-purity cellulose is morphologically enterococci and strong acid resistance bacteria, which is reported to secrete cellulose from cells. It is.

The most common carbon source used in the production of cellulose is glucose (Masaoka S, et al., J. Fermen. Bioeng., 75, 18-22, 1993), and other materials such as citrus and persimmon vinegar (Kim SY). , et al., Appl Biochem Biotechnol., 129-132, 705-15, 2006), apple juice (Lee OS, et al., J. Kor. Soc. Food Sci. Nutr., 31 (4), 572-577 , 2002), grape juice (Son CJ, et al., J. Appl. Microbiol. Biotechnol., 12 (5), 722-728, 2002), beer waste (Park JK, et al., Kor Chem Eng Res., 44 (1), 52-57, 2006) and coconut byproducts (Jonas R, et al., Polym Degrad Stab., 59, 101-106, 1998).

Citrus fruits, on the other hand, contain a lot of multifunctional medicinal ingredients and have been used as herbal medicines for a long time. In addition, citrus fruits contain various biologically active substances such as flavonoids, carotenoids, coumarins, phenylpropanoids, limonoids, pectin, celluloses, hemicelluloses, and the like. About 60 flavonoids are known and most exist in glycosides associated with sugars. The flavonoids are known for homeostasis, prevention of circulatory diseases, anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, antibacterial, antiviral, hypolipidemic, immune enhancing action.

Although Japanese Patent Nos. 3,341,017 and 4,061,661, Korean Patent No. 405,776 and the like disclose a method for producing cellulose using microorganisms of the genus Acetobacter , a film having a thickness that is commercially available from fruit juices such as citrus fruits. A method for producing the cellulose gel in the form has not been developed yet.

Thus, the present inventors conducted a study on the various uses of citrus fruits to isolate the new strain from the tangerine, using the strain from a specific medium to confirm that the biocompatibility and physical properties of the cellulose gel can be produced by using the strain To complete.

Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a novel strain characterized in that it is used to prepare a cellulose gel.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing a cellulose gel having excellent biocompatibility and physical properties by inoculating the novel strain in a juice medium.

In another aspect, the present invention is characterized by a method for producing a cellulose gel by inoculating the strain in the juice medium.

In another aspect, the present invention is characterized by a cellulose gel that can be manufactured by the above production method can be applied for various uses.
