摘要:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a temperature sensitive strain of Bacillus natto (Bacillus subtilis var. natto) that has a spore forming ability in a temperature zone used for liquid culture to obtain a starter for inoculation, but has a lower spore forming ability in a temperature zone used for natto fermentation, and to provide a natto product with a low spore content.SOLUTION: The invention provides a variant of Bacillus natto (Bacillus subtilis var. natto) having the following properties (A) to (C), that is, (A) when the variant is cultured for 48 hours on a solid selection medium supplemented with biotin at a gas phase temperature of 49°C, the color specification of a single colony formed is such that an area having yellow hue, brightness of 9 or more, and chroma not more than 2 in the Munsell color system is not more than 20% of the total surface area of the single colony; (B) a property to form spores at a level of 1×10spores/ml or more when cultured in a spore formation medium at a temperature of 37°C; and (C) a property to produce a natto with excellent stringiness, specific natto flavor, and a spore number not more than 5×10/g natto when cooked or steamed soybean is inoculated with the variant Bacillus natto at a concentration of 5×10spores/g cooked or steamed soybean and kept at a temperature of 40-53°C.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2【課題】植菌用の納豆菌スターター取得のための液体培養での温度帯では胞子形成能を有するが、納豆発酵での温度帯では胞子形成能の低下した温度感受性の納豆菌、及び納豆菌胞子の含有量が少ない納豆の提供。【解決手段】(A)ビオチンを含有する選択固体培地において、気相温度49℃で48時間培養して生育した納豆菌変異株のシングルコロニーの表色が、シングルコロニーの表面の全面積を100%としたときに、マンセル表色系の色相が黄系、明度が9以上、彩度が2以下である領域の面積が20%以下、(B)胞子形成培地で37℃で培養した際に胞子数が1×107個/ml以上、(C)煮大豆又は蒸煮大豆に1gあたり納豆菌胞子数5×103個となるように植菌し、豆の品温を40~53℃の範囲に維持した際に、糸引き、納豆特有の香りが良好で、且つ納豆1gあたり納豆菌胞子数が5×105個以下の納豆を製造できる性質、である納豆菌変異株。【選択図】図2
