Exploration of β-glucuronidase activity of lactic acid bacteria isolated from kimchi; 김치에서 분리된 젖산균의 β-glucuronidase 활성 탐색

초록

Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) isolated from kimchi were studied for their β-glucuronidase activity. Among the 156 strains tested, 52 strains utilized glucuronic acid as a carbon source and their intracellular β-glucuronidase activities were significantly higher than their extracellular activities. Leuconostoc mesenteroides KFRI 73007 isolated from turnip kimchi exhibited the highest intracellular β-glucuronidase activity of 0.77 ± 0.01 U/mg protein, which was further increased to 1.14 ± 0.01 U/mg protein under optimized reaction conditions (pH 7, 37℃). The activity of β-glucuronidase was notably decreased by the addition of divalent cations, and glucuronic acid was the best carbon source to produce β-glucuronidase in Leu. mesenteroides KFRI 73007. © 2019, The Korean Society for Microbiology and Biotechnology
