Abortiporus biennis에 의한 유기용매 리그닌의 생물학적 변환과 환원제 첨가에 따른 구조 변화 = Biomodification of Ethanol Organolsolv Lignin by Abortiporus biennis and Its Structural Change by Addition of Reducing Agent

국문 초록 (Abstract)

본 연구에서는 백색부후균 Abortiporus biennis를 이용하여 유기용매 리그닌의 생물학적 변환을 시도함으로써, 생물학적 변환 기작을 이해하고, 상업적 활용을 위해 유기용매 리그닌의 저분자화를 유도하고자 하였다. 질소제한 배지에서 A. biennis는 주로 유기용매 리그닌의 중합반응을 유도하면서, 분자량을 급격히 증가시켰으며, 배양일에 따라 구조적 차이를 야기하였다. 배양 초기, ether 결합의 분해를 통해 phenolic OH 함량이 증가한 반면, 배양 후기에는 ether 결합이 증가함에 따라 phenolic OH 함량이 감소하였다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로, 유기용매 리그닌의 탈중합을 유도하기 위해 환원제인 ascorbic acid를 첨가하여 유기용매 리그닌의 구조 변화 및 변환 산물을 분석하였다. 결과적으로, 환원제의 첨가에 의해 유기용매 리그닌의 분자량은 소폭 증가하였지만, 환원제 무첨가 실험에 비해 그 증가 폭이 현저히 감소하였다. 또한 배양액 내 리그닌 올리고머의 경우, 배양 10일째 환원제를 첨가한 실험구에서 중량 평균 분자량381 Da, phenolic OH 함량 38.63%을 나타냈으며, 이는 저분자화된 형태로 상업적 활용 가치가 높다고 사료된다. 결론적으로, A. biennis의 효소 시스템은 유기용매 리그닌의 분해보다 중합을 야기하였으며, 환원제의 첨가를 통해 배양액 내 리그닌 올리고머의 저분자화 및 phenolic OH 함량 증가를 유도할 수 있었다.

The main goal of this study was to investigate biomodification mechanism of lignin by white rot fungus, Abortiporus biennis, and to depolymerize ethanol organosolv lignin for industrial application. In nitrogen-limited culture, A. biennis polymerized mainly lignin showing a rapid increase of molecular weight and structural changes depending on incubation days. At the initial incubation days, cleavage of ether bonds increased phenolic OH content, while the results were contrary in of the later part of the culture. Based on these results, ascorbic acid as a reducing agent was used to induce depolymerization of lignin during cultivation with white rot fungus. As a result, the degree of increase of average molecular weight of lignin was significantly declined when compared with those of the ascorbic acid free experiment, although the molecular weight of fungus treated sample slightly increased than that of control. Furthermore, lignin derived oligomers in culture medium were depolymerized with the addition of ascorbic acid, showing that the average molecular weight was 381 Da, and phenolic OH content was 38.63%. These depolymerized lignin oligomers were considered to be applicable for industrial utilization of lignin. In conclusion, A. biennis led to the polymerization of lignin during biomodification period. The addition of ascorbic acid had a positive effect on the depolymerization and increase of phenolic OH content of lignin oligomers in medium.
