멸치젓갈로부터 ν-aminobutyric acid(GABA)을 생성하는 유산균주를 분리 동정하였다. 멸치젓갈로부터 분리한 9종의 유산균 중 GABA 생산능이 우수한 균주를 순수 분리하여 형태학적 특성과 gram positive identification(GPI) card 와 API 50kit로 동정한 결과 Lactobacillus brevis BH-21, Lactobacillus rhamnosus BH-28 및 Lactobacillus plantarum BH-38로 동정하였다. 이들 Lactobacillus 속 균주중 Lactobacillus brevis BH-21이 GABA생성능력이 제일 우수하였고, GABA 생성함량은 배지(0.1% glucose, 0.1% yeast extracts, 0.05% polypeptone, 0.002 % MgSO$_4$$.$4$H_2O$, 0.001% FeSO$_4$$.$7$H_2O$, 0.01% NaCl, 0.1% monosodium glutamate, pH 6.0)에서 Lactobacillus brevis BH-21을 배양하였을 때, 배양 24시간에 43.2mg/mL의 GABA을 생성하였다.
This study was conducted to investigate the identification of lactic acid bacteria produced ν-aminobutyric acid(GABA) from traditional salt fermented anchovy. There was no appreciable difference in the number of lactic acid bacteria from fermented anchovy. Among the types of lactic acid bacteria, three strains of lactic acid bacteria produced ν-aminobutyric acid from those sample were identified temporary as name of Lactobacillus brevis BH-21, Lactobacillus rhamnosus BH-32 and Lactobacillus plantarum BH-38 by using gram positive identification(GPI) card and API 50 kit, respectively. 3 strains of Lactobacillus sp. were found to produce GAB A in the culture of filtrate. Lactobacillus brevis BH-21 produced GABA, some of which yielded 43.2 mg/mL GABA in the medium of 0.1% glucose, 0.1% yeast extract, 0.05% polypeptone, 0.002% MgSO$_4$$.$4H$_2$O, 0.001% FeSO$_4$$.$7H$_2$O, 0.01% NaCl, 0.1% monosodium glutamate, pH 6.0. This result suggests that Lactobacillus brevis BH-21 has the potential to be developed as a strain of GABA production.
