Characteristics of the Algal Growth inhibition Substances Produced by Alteromonas sp. SR-14

Alteromonas sp. SR-14가 생산하는 조류증식 저해 물질의 특성

In previous reports, the authors isolated the algicidal marine bacterium, Alteromonas sp. SR-14 and demonstrated its growth inhibition of diatom, Chaetoceros calcitrans (C. calcitrans). In this paper, we studied the effects of cell free culture filtrate of Alteromonas sp. SR-14 on the growth of C. calcitrans, and the characteristics of the algal growth inhibition substance. The culture filtrate of Alteromonas sp. SR-14 grown in peptone broth showed growth inhibition activity against C. calcitrans. The reasonable culture conditions of the bacterium for producing of algal growth inhibition substances were $15~20^{\circ}$ in temperature, 7.0-9.0 in pH and $23~30{\textperthousand}$ in salinity, respectively. The algal growth inhibition activity of culture filtrate was increased from stationary phase in growth curve of Alteromonas sp. SR-14. The molecular weights of algal growth inhibition substances produced by Alteromonas sp. SR-14 were ranged about from 3 KDa to 12 KDa. Among the substances, less than 10 KDa fraction were stable by heating at $100^{\circ}$ for 10 minutes, while more than 10 KDa fraction were heat labile. According to the experimental results, the algal growth inhibition substance produced by the bacterium was not a single compound.

Alteromonas sp. SR-14의 배양여액을 사용하여 C. calcitrans의 증식에 미치는 영향과 조류 증식저해 물질의 특성을 살펴보았다. Alteromonas sp. SR-14의 peptone broth 배양여액은 C. calcitrans에 대하여 증식 저해 활성을 나타내었으며, 이 균에 의한 조류 증식 저해 물질은 온도 $15~20^{\circ}C$, pH 7.0~9.0, 염분 농도 $23~30{\textperthousand}$의배양 조건에서 강한 활성으로 생성되었으며, 이러한 조건(온도 $20^{\circ}C$, pH 8.0, 염분 농도 $30\textperthousand$)에서는 정지기부터 활성이 증가하였다. Alteromonas sp. SR-14가 peptone broth에서 생산하는 조류 증식 저해 물질의 분자량은 약 3KDa~12KDa의 복합 물질이었는데, $100^{\circ}C$에서 10분간 열처리하였을 때 3~10KDa 이하의 물질은 내열성이 있었으나 10KDa 이상의 물질은 불활성 되었다.
