2l 발효조에서 pH6.9, 온도 $32^{circ}C$일 때 당밀배지를 이용하여 Corynebacterium glutamicum의 영양요구성 유사체 내성변이주에 의한 라이신 발효시 산화환원 전위 (ORP)가 라이신 발효속도의 특성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 희석률이 0.1$h ^1$일때 탄소원이 제한되건 로이신이 제한되건 산소가 제한되지 않는 한 최대의 대당수율 24를 보였으며, 이 때의 산화환원 전윈 값은 -60mV와 -100mV 범위에 해당하였다. 산화화원 전위 값이 -130mV의 매우 낮은 용존산소 조건하에서는 대당수율 밀 $q_s, q_p$ 등의 발효 반응속도 상수값들이 크게 감소하였으며 glvcine, alanine, valine을 포함하는 발효 부산물의 축적량이 매우 높아졌다.
- The effect of redox potential (ORP) on lysine production by a leucine auxotrophic regulatory mutant of Corynebacterium glutclmicum on molasses medium was investigated in a 2-1 jar fermentor at pH 6.9 and $32^{circ}C$. At a dilution rate of D=O.l $h ^1$, a maximum yield of Yr,,s=0.24 was obtained in either carbon- or leucine-limited chemostat where the redox potential was between -60 mV and - 100 mV. This level of redox potential corresponded to moderate oxygen deficiency. Under a high oxygen deficient condition of the redox potential of - 130 rnV (oxygen-limited chemostat), all the kinetic parameters such as $Y_[p/s}, q_s; and ; q_p$ were decreased significantly and significant amounts of byproducts including glycine, alanine and valine were accumulated in the culture, indicating that the control of redox potential is important in lysine fermentation. At the redox potential of - 40 mV, on the other hand, large quantities of arginine (up to 0.38g/l) and glutamic acid (up to 0.12 g/l) were produced. A maximum lysine productivity of 2.41 g/l/h was achieved at - 66 mV under a carbon-limited condition.
