Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of environmental factors such as temperature, salinity, pH, and UV light on-the survival of life-threatening Vibrio vulnificus. In the temperature range of 15 to $25^{\circ}C$, the numbers of V. vulnificus incieased during the 6-day incubation, but outside this range, the survival of V. vulnificus was poor. Incubation between 1 and $10^{\circ}C$ showed that V. vulnifcts survived poorly below $10^{\circ}C$. At sal:nities between 5 and 25ppt, the numbers of V. vulnificus increased or remained unchanged for 6-day. At salinities above this range, the numbers of V. vulnificus decreased. The optimal pH range was 6.5 to 8.0 and outside this range, the survival ratio of V. vulnificus was small. At 15-and $25^{\circ}C$, UV radiation was bactericidal for cultures of V, vulnificus. The counts of V. vulnificus were reduced approximately 10, 000-fold after 2h of UV light treatment at both temperatures. Above results mowed 1ha't environmental factors were effective on the survival of V. vulniucus in the environment.

본 연구는 생명을 위협하는 Vibrio vulnificus의 생존에 온도, 염분 pH 및 자외선과 같은 환경적 요인이 어떠한 영향을 미치는 가를 알아보기 위하여 수행하였다. 6일 동안 15에서 ${25\circ}C$의 온도범위에서 V.vulnificus의 수는 증가하였지만 이 범위외에서 V.vulnifivus의 생존수는 감소하였다. 1에서 ${10\circ}C$사이에서의 실험 결과, V.vulnificus 가 $10{\circ}C$이하에서는 생존수가 적었다. 한편 6일 동안 5에서 25ppt정도의 염분조건에서는 V.vulnificus수는 감소하였다. 최적의 pH 영역은 6.5에서 8.0이었고 이 영역밖에서는 V.vulnificus의 생존율은 낮았다. 15와 $25{\circ}C$에서 자외선은 V.vulificus에 대해 살균효과를 나타내어서 2시간 동안 자외선 처리후 V.vulnificus수가 약 10,00배 감소되었다. 이상과 같은 결과들은 환경적 요인이 V.vulnificus의 생존에 미치는 영향이 크다는 것을 보여주었다.
