Abstract

This study investigated the wort turbidity caused by microbial contamination of barley. One microbial strain isolated from Gairdner barley increased wort turbidity up to 31.9% and prolonged wort filtration time 2.67 times longer than that of the control experiment. Using morphological observation and 26S rDNA sequence alignment, the strain was identified as Aspergillus flavus. From the strain, a remarkable wort turbidity-inducing protein (WTIP) was isolated by gel-exclusion chromatography (Sephadex G-25) and purified by ion-exchange chromatography (DEAE-52 cellulose). Purified WTIP enabled wort turbidity to increase 39% (in EBC units) with the addition of 0.2 mg/L; the relative molecular weight was estimated at 80 kDa using SDS-PAGE analysis.

RESUMEN

Este estudio investigó la turbiedad del mosto causada por la contaminación microbiana de la cebada. Una cepa de microorganismos aislados de cebada Gairdner aumento la turbiedad del mosto hasta 31.9% y prolongado tiempo de filtración del mosto 2.67 veces más larga que la del experimento de control. Utilizando la observación morfológica la y la alineación de secuencias ADNr 26S, la cepa fue identificada como Aspergillus flavus. De la cepa, una notable proteína que induce turbiedad en el mosto (WTIP) fue aislado por cromatografía de exclusión de gel (Sephadex G-25) y se purifica por cromatografía de intercambio iónico (DEAE-52 celulosa). Purificado WTIP permitido la turbiedad del mosto a aumentar un 39% (en unidades EBC), con la adición de 0.2 mg/L; la relativa de peso molecular se calcula a 80 kDa usando SDS-PAGE análisis.
