비병원성 Pseudomonas solanacearum을 이용한 담배 세균성마름병의 방제

Protection of Tobacco Plants from Bacterial Wilt with an Avirulent Isolate of Pseudomonas solanacearum

비병원성 Pseudomonas solanacearum을 이용한 담배세균성마름병의 방제가능성이 검토되었다. Nutrient 액체배지 및 토양에서 비병원성균주는 병원성균주보다 생육속도가 빨랐으나 두 균주를 혼합하여 배양할 때 병원성균주에 대한 생육억제효과는 크지 않았다. 비병원성균주의 현탁액에 감수성 담배품종인 BY4의 뿌리를 6시간동안 침지시킨 후 병원성균주에 오염된 토양으로 이식한 결과, 높은 세균성마름병 방제효과를 얻었다. 비병원성균주의 현탁액을 가식상태의 담배에 토양관주하고 24시간 후에 포장으로 이식한 결과 7월 상순까지는 $30\%$이상의 세균성마름병방제효과가 인정되었으나 그 후 방제효과가 급속히 감소되었다.

Microbial antagonism between virulent and avirulent isolates of Pseudomonas solanacearum was studied in relation to the control of bacterial wilt of tobacco. In nutrient broth media or in soil, the avirulent isolate of P. solanacearum grew faster than did the virulent one. Inhibitory effect of avirulent isolate against growth of virulent one was negligible in mixed culture of the two isolates. The disease severity of bacterial wilt was significantly reduced when the roots of cultivar BY 4 susceptible to bacterial wilt was dipped in suspension of an avirulent isolate for 6 hours prior to transplanting to the soil infested with virulent bacteria. When the seedlings of tobacco were poured with the suspension of an avirulent isolate onto the soil in pre-planting pots 24 hours before ransplanting, there was a significant reduction in disease severity in the field. However, the reduction was noticed until early July, but after middle of July, no difference between the avirulent isolate-treated and non-treated plants was found in severity of the bacterial wilt.
