Amino 산(酸) 핵산관련물질등(核酸關連物質等)을 발효생산(醱酵生産)하는데 응용(應用)키 위(爲)하여 Adenine auxotrophic mutants를 분리(分離)하려고 Gram positive이며 Spore forming bacteria 인 Bacillus subtilis 및 Gram negative bacteria 인 Escherichia coli 를 시험균주(試驗菌株)로 하였다. 이들 균주(菌株)에 U.V-light 처리(處理)와 그리고 Vitamin 및 핵산(核酸) Analogue와 Aminopterine, Streptomycin 처리(處理)로서 효율(效率)좋게 Adenine auxotrophic mutants를 분리(分離)하였다. 1. U.V. -light$(2530;{AA};2080;erg/mm^2)$, distance 30 cm) $80{sim}90sec$. 조사(照射)가 Bacillus subtilis의 Auxotrophic mutants 4주(株) 그리고 E. coli에 $15{sim}20sec$. 조사(照射)는 Auxotrophic mutants 8주(株)를 분리(分離)하는데 최적조건(最適條件)임을 알았다. 2. Bacillus subtilis 에 대(對)하여 위의 최적조건(最適條件)으로 조사(照射)하는데 Aminopterine$(200;{mu}g/ml)$. 처리구(處理區)가 생육(生育)을 현저(顯著)히 조지(阻止)시켰고 무처리구(無處理區)보다 더욱 효과적(效果的) 으로 Adenine 요구변이주(要求變異株)를 약(約) 6배정도(培程度) 더 분리(分離)케 하였다. E. coli에 대(對)하여도 위의 최적조건(最適條件)으로 조사(照射)하는데 Streptomycin$(200;{mu}g/ml)$ 처리구(處理區)는 생육(生育)을 현저(顯著)히 조지(阻止)시켰고 무처리구(無處理區)보다 Adenine요구변이주(要求變異株)를 2배(倍)나 효과적(效果的)으로 분리(分離)할 수 있었다.
In order to obtain amino acids and nucleic acid derivatives from adenine auxotrophic mutants of Bacillus subtilis and Escherichia coli, vitamin, nucleic acid analogue, streptomycin as well as ultraviolet light were adopted for the production of adenine auxotrophic mutants and the results showed efficient production of desired mutants. 1. Ultraviolet ray $(2530;{AA};2080;erg/mm^2)$ irradiation to Bacillus subtilis and E. coli at a distance of 30 cm for 80-90 sec. and for 15-20 sec. respetively induced four and eight strains of auxotrophic mutants. 2. Treatment of aminopterine$(200;{mu}g/ml)$ inhibited the growth of Bacillus sultilis significantly but a subsequent irradiation of ultraviolet light at the above mentioned conditions induced six times as much mutants as compared to the irradiation alone. In case of E. coli a similar tendency was observed with treatment of streptomycin$(200;{mu}g/ml)$ with doubled induction rate of adenine auxotrophic mutants as compared to the irradiation alone.
