우량질소고정균(優良窒素固定菌)의 탐색분리(探索分離) 및 생리적(生理的) 특성(特性)

This experiment was conducted to search for Rhizobia with good nitrogen fixation abilities and to investigate their physiological characteristics isolated from 12 soybean cultivars and the affinities of root nodule bacteria with soybeans. The results obtained were as follows; Based on colors, Rhizobia grown on YMA medium were divided into 3 groups, i. e., white, translucent and transparent, amounting to 60, 30 and 10%, respectively. In litmus milk reaction, the strains which produced alkali, acid serum, alkaline serum and acid reached to 51, 29, 9 and 11%, respectively. Strains, S022, and S096 were slow-growers and produced alkaili, while strains, S080, S-090, and S118 were fastgrowers and produced acid. The growth of root nodule bacteria on YMA medium was favorable between the initial pHs of 6.0~7.0. Glutamine, asparagine and al1antoin as nitrogen sources enhanced the growth of root nodule bacteria. All the strains tested formed nodules on the soybean roots, and the strains with good symbiotic nitrogen fixation abilities that had white color, small colony, nitrate reduction abilities and no nitrite reduction abilities showed comparatively high nitrogen fixing activities. Some strains varied in nitrogen fixing activities according to soybean cultivars, and a few strains fanned ineffective nodules which showed no nitrogen fixing activity.

광교(光敎)를 비롯한 12개품종(個品種)의 대두근류(大豆根瘤)로부터 탐색분리(探索分離)한 질소고정균(窒素固定菌)의 생리적(生理的) 특성(特性) 및 숙주작물(宿主作物)과의 접종친화성(接種親和性)을 조사(調査)한 결과(結果)는 다음과 같다. 1. YMA배지(培地)에서 자란 질소고정균(窒素固定菌)의 색상(色相)은 백색상(白色相), 반투명색상(半透明色相), 투명색상(透明色相)이 각각(各各) 60%, 30%, 10%였으며 Litmus milk 반응(反應)은 alkali, acid serum, alkali serum, acid가 각각(各各) 51%, 29%, 9%, 11%로 나타났다. 2. 우량질소고정균(優良窒素固定菌)의 YM배지(培地)에서의 생육속도(生育速度) 및 pH의 변화(變化)는 S 022, S 096이 생육속도(生育速度)가 느리고, alkali를 생성(生成)하였으며 S 080, S 090, S 118은생육속도(生育速度)가 빠르고 산(酸)을 생성(生成)하였다. 3. YM배지(培地)의 초기(初期) pH가 6.0~7.0의 범위(範圍)에서 Rhizobia의 생육(生育)이 가장 좋았다. 4. 질소원(窒素源)으로서 glutamine, asparagine, allantion 등(等)은 Rhizobia의 생육(生育)을 촉진(促進)시켰다. 5. 분리(分離)한 균주(菌株) 전부(全部)가 대두(大豆)에 근류(根瘤)를 형성(形成)시켰으며, 우량질소고정균주(優良窒素固定菌株)는 그중 색상(色相)이 백색(白色)이고 colony가 소형(小型)이며 질산환원력(窒酸還元力)이 있고 아질산환원력(亞窒酸還元力)이 없으나 비교적(比較的) 높은 질소고정력(窒素固定力)을 나타냈다. 6. 동일균주(同一菌株)라도 숙주작물(宿主作物)의 친화성(親和性)에 따라서 질소고정능력(窒素固定能力)에 차이(差異)가 있었으며, 질소고정능력(窒素固定能力)이 없는 무효근류(無效根瘤)를 형성(形成)하는 균주(菌株)도 있었다.
