実施例1~5で作製したトリコデルマ・リーセイの変異株の胞子を1.0×107/mLになるように生理食塩水で希釈し、その希釈胞子溶液2.5mLを表1に示した1Lバッフル付フラスコへ入れた250mLの前培養培地へ接種させ、振盪培養機にて28℃、120rpmの条件にて72時間培養を行う。コントロールとして、トリコデルマ・リーセイ QM9414株を用い、以下同様の実験操作を行う。
Arbocel B800(レッテンマイヤー社)を表2で示した本培養培地に添加し、5Lジャーファーメンター(バイオット社製)を用い、深部培養検討を行う。
培養開始から、培養終了時の120時間経過後まで経時的に培養液をそれぞれ20mL採取する。採取した培養液の1部は、15,000×g、4℃の条件下で10分間遠心分離を行い、上清を得る。その上清を0.22μmのフィルターでろ過し、そのろ液をセルラーゼ溶液として、以下の実験に用いる。
参考例1で記載した手法を用い、培養開始120時間経過後に採取した培養液におけるセルラーゼのタンパク質濃度を測定する。その結果、実施例1~5で作製したトリコデルマ・リーセイの変異株の培養液におけるタンパク質濃度は、トリコデルマ・リーセイ QM9414株の培養液におけるタンパク質濃度と比較して高くなる。特に、実施例3にて取得した配列番号8で表されるアミノ酸配列からなるポリペプチドを欠損させたQM9414-J株は、トリコデルマ・リーセイ QM9414株と比較して相対値でタンパク質濃度は1.3倍高かった。
参考例2で記載した手法を用い、実施例1~5で作製したトリコデルマ・リーセイの変異株の培養液中の経時的な溶存酸素飽和度を測定する。その結果、実施例1~5で作製したトリコデルマ・リーセイの変異株の培養液中の溶存酸素飽和度は、トリコデルマ・リーセイ QM9414株よりも高くなる。
参考例3で記載した手法を用い、実施例1~5で作製したトリコデルマ・リーセイの変異株の培養液中の経時的な粘度を測定する。その結果、実施例1~5で作製したトリコデルマ・リーセイの変異株の最大粘度は、トリコデルマ・リーセイ QM9414株よりも低くなる。
参考例4で記載した手法を用い、実施例6(前培養)の培養直後の菌体量を測定する。その結果、配列番号6~10のいずれかで表されるアミノ酸配列からなるポリペプチドの機能が欠損したトリコデルマ・リーセイの変異株とトリコデルマ・リーセイ QM9414株間で菌体量の差は確認できない。特に、実施例3にて取得した配列番号8で表されるアミノ酸配列からなるポリペプチドを欠損させたQM9414-J株は、トリコデルマ・リーセイ QM9414株と比較して、菌体量の差を確認することはできなかった。
参考例5の条件で、培養途中に採取した培養液におけるセルラーゼの比活性として、β-グルコシダーゼ、β-キシロシダーゼ、セロビオハイドラーゼの比活性をそれぞれ測定する。比活性は、405nmの吸光度の増加を測定し、1分間あたり1μmolの基質を遊離する活性を1Uとして算出する。その結果、配列番号6~10で表されるアミノ酸配列からなるポリペプチドの機能が欠損したトリコデルマ・リーセイの変異株の培養液における上記3種類の比活性は、トリコデルマ・リーセイ QM9414株の培養液における比活性と比較して高くなる。特に、トリコデルマ・リーセイ QM9414株と比較して、実施例3にて取得したQM9414-J株は相対値でβ-グルコシダーゼ比活性は1.2倍、β-キシロシダーゼ比活性は1.2倍、セロビオハイドロラーゼ比活性は1.1倍高かった。
