Abstract
Grapefruit seed extracts(GFSE) have some unknown compounds which exhibit the antibiotic activities aganist microorganisms including bacteria and fungi. We have examined the effects of GFSE on the growth of Enterobacter pyrinus which was isolated from necrotic lesions of pear trees. During the cultivation, the growth of the bacteria was strongly inhibited at the low concentration(0.01%, w/w) of GFSE. Hydrophobic fraction extracted from GFSE by mixed solvents (chloroform : methanol : water, 1 : 2 : 0.8, v/v/v) had components which inhibited the growth of bacteria. There was, however, no inhibitory effect of GFSE on the activities of several enzymes including hexokinase, glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase, malate dehydrogenase and succinate dehydrogenase.
Grapefruit 종자추출물(GFSE)에는 박테리아와 곰팡이류들에 대하여 항균 효과를 갖는 성분이 있다고 알려져 있다. 배나무에 병반에서 분리한 Enterobacter pyrinus도 GFSE를 가하여 준 배지에서 생육이 억제되었다. 대조군이 stationary phase로 접어든 배양 20시간까지 GFSE의 최종 농도가 0.01%를 함유한 배지에서 E. pyrinus는 전혀 성장하지 못하였다. 항균 성분을 분리하기 위하여 GFSE를 용매추출하여 친수성 분획과 소수성 분획으로 나누었을 때 억제 효과는 소수성 분획에서 관찰되었다. GFSE가 에너지 대사에 관여하는 몇가지 효소에 미치는 영향을 조사하여 본 결과, hexokinase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, malate dehydrogenase와 succinate dehydrogenase 등에는 별다른 효과를 나타내지 않았다. 세포막에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위하여
