| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
From indigo dyeing process of high temperature/high alkali, isolation of microorganisms with potential oxidation-reduction reactions useful as tools such as nitrification denitrification and enzyme batteries was carried out. Then, the evaluation and analysis of the selected redox function were performed. The quantification method of indigo reducing activity was constructed and indigo reducing bacteria were screened. Ten indigo reducing bacteria were obtained from 154 strains isolated from indigo dyeing sample. Selected Alkalibacterium sp. SH2-1 strain had higher activity than known indigo reducing bacteria. SH2-1 reduced indigo directly without mediators with the presence of glucose as an electron donner. Some anthraquinon derivatives including emodin, a natural anthraquinon in the leaf of Persicaria tinctoria, were found to act as mediator for the indigo reduction by SH2-1. Some microorganisms with P. tinctoria degrading activity were also isolated.
