Description

써모코쿠스 속 균주를 이용한 수소 가스 생산 방법Hydrogen Gas Production Using Thermococcus Strains

본 발명은 써모코쿠스 속 균주를 이용한 수소 가스 생산 방법에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a method for producing hydrogen gas using a strain of the genus Thermococcus.

수소에너지는 중량당 발열량이 석유보다 3배 이상 높으면서도, 이산화탄소, NOx, SOx 등 환경에 악영향을 미칠 수 있는 물질들을 배출하지 않아, 장차 화석에너지를 대체할 에너지로써 각광받고 있다.Hydrogen energy has been spotlighted as an energy to replace fossil energy in the future because it does not emit substances that may adversely affect the environment such as carbon dioxide, NOx, and SOx while the calorific value per weight is three times higher than that of oil.

종래부터 사용된 수소 생산 방법에는 물의 전기분해, 천연가스나 나프타의 열분해 (thermal-cracking) 또는 수증기 개질법 (steam reforming) 등이 있다. 그러나 이러한 방법들은 다시 화석연료를 사용하여 고온, 고압 조건을 만들어야 하는 문제가 있으며, 일산화탄소를 포함한 혼합가스를 발생시키므로 그러한 가스로부터 일산화탄소를 제거하여야 하는 어려운 문제를 발생시킨다.Conventionally used hydrogen production methods include electrolysis of water, thermal cracking of natural gas or naphtha, or steam reforming. However, these methods again have a problem of making high-temperature and high-pressure conditions using fossil fuels, and generate a mixed gas containing carbon monoxide, which causes a difficult problem of removing carbon monoxide from such gases.

반면 미생물을 이용한 생물학적 수소 생산 방법은 별도의 에너지를 투입하여 고온, 고압 조건을 만들 필요가 없고, 생성된 가스에 일산화탄소를 포함하지 않는다는 장점이 있다. 이러한 생물학적 수소생산방법은 크게 광합성 미생물을 이용하는 것과 비-광합성 미생물(주로 혐기성 미생물)을 이용하는 것으로 나눠볼 수 있다. 전자에 속하는 예로 대한민국 등록특허 제10-0680624호 "높은 염분농도에서 수소생성능이 우수한 광합성 세균 로도박터 스페로이데스 균주를 이용한 수소생산방법" 등이 있다.On the other hand, the biological hydrogen production method using microorganisms does not need to make a high-temperature, high-pressure condition by inputting additional energy, and does not include carbon monoxide in the generated gas. Such biological hydrogen production methods can be broadly divided into using photosynthetic microorganisms and non-photosynthetic microorganisms (mainly anaerobic microorganisms). Examples of the former include the Republic of Korea Patent No. 10-0680624 "Hydrogen production method using the photosynthetic bacterium Rhodobacter spheroides strain excellent hydrogen production at high salt concentration" and the like.

그러나 빛을 에너지원으로 사용하는 광합성 세균들의 고농도 배양기술이 아직 충분히 개발되어 있지 않으며, 종래의 광합성 세균들은 높은 분압의 기질이 있을 경우 기질저해가 심하다는 단점이 있다. 또한, 이들은 빛이 존재하는 경우에만 수소생성능이 지속 될 수 있다는 문제점이 있다. However, high concentration culture technology of photosynthetic bacteria using light as an energy source has not yet been sufficiently developed, and conventional photosynthetic bacteria have a disadvantage of severe substrate inhibition when there is a high partial pressure substrate. In addition, they have a problem that hydrogen production performance can be continued only in the presence of light.

따라서, 유기 탄소를 이용하여 수소를 생산할 수 있는 미생물들을 이용하여 수소를 생산하려는 시도가 지속적으로 이루어지고 있으며, 그 예로 대한민국 등록특허 제10-0315663호 "사이트로박터속 균주 Y19 및 이에 의한 수소 생산", 대한민국 등록특허 제10-0315662호 "로도슈도모나스 팔루스트리스 P4 및 이에 의한 수소 생산" 등이 있다.Therefore, attempts have been made to produce hydrogen using microorganisms capable of producing hydrogen using organic carbon. For example, Korean Patent No. 10-0315663 "Sysitebacterium strain Y19 and hydrogen production by this." ", Republic of Korea Patent No. 10-0315662" Rhodoshudo Monas Palustasis P4 and thereby hydrogen production "and the like.

써모코쿠스 감마톨레란스(Thermococcus gammatolerans; DSM 15229), 써모코쿠스 바로필루스 MP (Thermococcus barophilus MP; DSM 11836) 균주들이 수소를 효율적으로 생산하게 하는지 확인하기 위하여, 다양한 에너지원을 이용하여 수소 생성율을 분석하였다. 그 결과, 써모코쿠스 감마톨레란스(Thermococcus gammatolerans; DSM 15229), 써모코쿠스 바로필루스 MP (Thermococcus barophilus MP; DSM 11836) 균주들 모두 황이 없는 조건에서 녹말, CO, 혹은 포름산염(formate)이 포함된 배지에서 성장을 나타내거나 수소를 생산하였다(표 1 및 표 2). Thermococcus gamma tolerance (Thermococcus                 gammatolerans; DSM 15229), Thermococcus barophyllus MP (Thermococcus barophilus MP; DSM 11836) Hydrogen production rate was analyzed using a variety of energy sources to ensure that strains to produce hydrogen efficiently. As a result, thermococcus gamma tolerance (Thermococcus                 gammatolerans; DSM 15229), Thermococcus barophyllus MP (Thermococcus barophilus MP; DSM 11836) All strains showed growth or produced hydrogen in a medium containing starch, CO, or formate in the absence of sulfur (Tables 1 and 2).
