Actinomycetes, Gram-positive bacteria, produce a variety of secondary metabolites, including antibiotics. Many
beneficial compounds in our life have been discovered from actinomycetes so far and many researchers attempt to
isolate new natural compounds. However, it has been known that an antibiotic-producing ability of the actinomycetes
is reduced by repeated passages onto fresh growth medium. Thus, it is necessary to establish an alternative method
for a long-term storage of the actinomycetes with high antibiotic-producing ability. We focused on a koji-making
process which is performed by solid state fermentation using steamed rice with Aspergillus oryzae (koji culture) and
tried to make the cultured rice medium with actinomycetes to maintain the antibiotic-producing ability during the
storage period. In this study, we performed the rice culture of actinomycetes using low-grade rice and evaluated the
usefulness of the culture method for maintaining the antibiotic-producing ability. The rice culture medium was
prepared by autoclave of a beaker containing water-soaked rice. Each of twelve actinomycete strains with an
antibiotic-producing ability was inoculated and cultured in the rice culture medium. As the result of cultivation, it
was observed that all actinomycete strains could grow on the surface of rice grains in the beakers. After three months
of cultivation, a piece of the cultured rice media of actinomycetes was retrieved from the beaker and was used for an
antifungal activity test on an agar plate. All actinomycetes formed colonies on agar plates and showed antifungal
activities against a plant pathogenic fungus. These results suggest that the method of koji culture of actinomycetes is
effective in maintaining the antibiotic-producing ability.
Key words : Actinomycete, solid state fermentation, antibiotic-producing ability, koji culture
