고춧가루가 국균(麴菌)의 각종(各種) 효소생산(酵素生産) 및 균체생육(菌體生育)에 미치는 영향을 규명할 목적(目的)으로 Aspergillus oryzae A (단모균)와 Aspergillus oryzae G(장모균) 균주를 고춧가루를 첨가한 밀기울 배지 및 Czapek-Dox 액체배지에 배양하여 그 효소력(酵素力), 건조균체중량 pH. 적정산도 등을 측정한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 밀기울 고체배지에 $0.05{sim}30%$ 농도(濃度)의 고춧가루를 첨가한 구에서는 무염기질(無鹽基質)에서의 중성 및 알카리 protease의 활성이 대조구(밀기울 단독 배양구)에 비하여 높았으나 Aspergillus oryzae G의 경우는 고춧가루 첨가시 무염기질(無鹽基質)에서의 산성 protease의 생성이 오히려 저하 되었다. 2. $0.05{sim}10%$의 고춧가루 첨가시는 내염(耐鹽)기질에서의 중성 및 알카리 protease의 활성이 대조구에 비하여 높았다. 3. 고춧가루 첨가(添加)는 amylase활성(活性)에 별(別)로 효과(效果)가 없었다. 4. Cellulase활성은 밀기울 단독구에 비하여 고춧가루 첨가구(添加區)에서 전반적(全般的)으로 높은 경향을 보였다. 5. Czapek-Dox액체배지상(液體培地上)에서 각균(各菌)의 건조균체중량(乾燥菌體重量)은 고춧가루 첨가농도(添加濃度)가 증가함에 따라 증가하는 경향을 보였고 단모균은 장모균에 비해 그 증가 현상이 현저하였다. 6. 고춧가루는 Czapek-Dox 첨가배지((添加培地)의 pH를 저하(低下)시키는 경향을 나타내었다. 7. 고춧가루 첨가농도(添加濃度)가 증가함에 따라 Czapek-Dox 액체배지의 적정산도는 증가현상을 나타내었으며 장모균에 비하여 단모균의 경우 적정산도의 증가현상이 현저했다.
This experiment was carried out to investigate the effects of red pepper powder on its enzyme production and growth of Aspergillus oryzae. In this report, Aspergillus oryzae A and G strains were cultured to the wheat bran and Czap다 Dox liquid media containing red pepper powder. And their enzyme activity. dry mycelial weight, pH and acidity were determined respectively. The results obtained were as follows. 1. In the case of protease reaction on the substrate without salt, the addition of red pepper powder ranging from 0.05 to 30 per cent to the wheat bran medium showed the increased neutral and alkali protease production in comparison with the control. However, the acid protease production were decreased by the addition of red pepper powder in the case of Aspergillus oryzae G strain. 2. In the case of protease reaction on the substrate with 10 per cent of salt, wheat bran medium containing 0.05 to 10per cent of red pepper powder showed the high protease production in comparison with the control. 5. As the amount of red pepper added to the Czapek-Dox lipuid culture was increased, the dry mycelial weight produced by Aspergillus oryzae A and G strains were also increased. And the dry mycelial weight produced by Aspergillus oryzae A strain was much more than that of Aspergillus oryzae G strain. 6. The addition of red pepper powder brought the fall of pH in Czapek-Dox liquid medium. 7. By the increase of red pepper powder concentration, the acidity in Czapek-Dox liquid culture were increased. And the increase ratio in the case of Aspergillus oryzae G strain was more remarkable than that of Aspergillus oryzae A strain.
