Physico-Chemical Properties and Antimicrobial Activity of Pyocyanine Produced by Pseudomonase aeruginosa KLP-2

Pseudomonas aeruginosa KLP-2가 생산한 Pyocyanine의 항균활성 및 생리화학적 성상

The antimicrobial substance produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa KLP-2 strain was purified and identified. The substance was identified as a pyocyanine by the fast atom bombardment mass(FAB-MS). In physic-chemical properties, the pyocyanine was dark blue needles, and was soluble in various organic solvents such as chlorogorm, methanol, ethanol and ethyl acetae. The pyocyanine possessed a ultraviolet absorbance spectrum in methanol, 0.1 M HCl, and chlorogorm. The maximum absorption peak of the pyocyanine showed at 318 mm in methanol. The molecular formula of the pyocyanine was determined to the $C_{13}$ H$_{10}$ N$_{2}$O and protonate molecular ion species (M+H)$^{+}$ was observed at m/z 211 by FAB-MS. The pyocyanine showed antimicrobial against Bacillus cereus, Bacillus subtilis, Micrococcus luteus, Rodococcus equi, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus faecalis, E. col, Legionella pneumophila, Shigella flexneri Shigella boydii, shgella sonnei, NAG Vibrio cholerae, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Vibro vulnificus, Yersinia enterocolitica, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. However, Salmonella spp. Shigela dysenteriae, 3 strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiela pneumoniae, and Aspergillus niger were resistant to the pyocyanine. The pyocyanine showed the highest antimicrobial activity aganist Legionella pneumophila based on the size of inhibition zone by the disk contained 0.5 $\mu\textrm{g}$ of the pyocyanine.e.

최근 다양한 분야에서 생물학적 제제개발에 관한 연구가 활발한다. 본 연구에서는 생물학적 제제개발을 위한 일련의 연구로 Pseudomonas aeruginosa KLP-2가 생산하는 항균성 물질을 동정하고, 생리화학적 특성을 확인하였다. 본 항균성 물질을 전제하여 FAB-MS로 확인한 결과 pyocyanine으로 동정되었으며, 진청색의 needles 성상을 나타내었고 chloroform, methanol, ethyl acetate와 같은 용매에 높은 용해도를 나타내었다. Pyocyanine의 UV spectrum은 methanol에서 최대 흡광치(318 nm)를 보였고, FAB-MS로 확인한 결과 m/z 211에서 protonated molecular ion(M+H)$^{+}$ 이 관찰되었으며, 분자식은 $C_{13}$H$_{10}$ N$_{2}$O로 확인되었다. Pyocyanine 은 Bacillus cereus, Bacillus subtilis, Micrococcus luteus, Rodococcus equi, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus faecalis, E. coli. Kegionella peneumophila, Shigella flexneri, Shigela boydii, Shigella sonnei, NAG Vibro cholerae, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Vibro vulnificus, Yersinia enterocolitica 및 Saccharomyces cerevisiae 등의 다양한 세균에 대하여 항균활성을 보여 비교적 넓은 항균범위를 나타내었으며, 특히 Legionella pneumophila에 대하여 0.5$\mu$g의 pyocyanine을 함유한 disk가 48mm의 억제환을 타나내어 가장 높은 항균활성을 보였다.
