Abstract

The diversity of acid-tolerant epiphytic bacterial communities on deciduous oak tree (Quercus dentate Thunb.) leaves was examined both in the natural forest area with a clean air and in the industrial estate to assess effects of acidic depositions to the phyllosphere using 16S rDNA sequence data. A total of 444 acid-tolerant epiphytic bacterial clones were obtained, resulting in 17 phylotypes by performing a analysis of restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) for PCR-amplified 16S rDNA products. A very low diversity of dominating acid tolerant bacterial communities in both areas was found, just 2 subphyla groups, $\gamma$-Proteobacteria and low-G+C gram-positive bacteria. As tree leaves grow older, diversities of acid-tolerant bacteria on them significantly increased. The community structure of acid-tolerant epiphytic bacteria consisted of Pseudomonas and Enterobacteriaceae groups in the $\gamma$-Proteobacteria subphylum, and Streptococcaceae and Staphylococcus groups in the low-G+C gram-positive bacteria subphylum. The direct influence of acidic depositions on bacterial phylogenetic composition could not be detected especially when higher taxonomic levels such as subphylum, but at narrower or finer levels it could be observed by a detection of Xanthomonadales group belonged to the $\gamma$-Proteobacteria only in the industrial area and of Acetobacteraceae group belonged to the $\alpha$-Proteobacteria. There remains that these specific acid-tolerant epiphytic bacterial groups could be used as indicators for assessing effects of acidic depositions on the phyllosphere.

깨끗한 대기가 유지되는 청정지역 및 산성강하물의 영향을 받는 공단지역에서 자라는 떡갈나무(Quercus dentate Thunb.) 잎표면에서 분리한 내산성세균 배양으로부터 16S rDNA를 추출하여 모두 444개의 clone을 얻었으며, 이를 대상으로 Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP)을 실시한 결과 총 17종류의 계통형 (phylotype)이 나타났다. 두 지역에서 나타난 대표적인 내산성 잎권세균 군집은 매우 단순하여 ${\gamma}$-Proteobacteria와 low-G+C gram-positive bacteria의 2개 group이었다. 식물 잎의 나이가 들수록 내산성 잎권세균 계통형의 다양성은 현저하게 증가하였다. 내산성 잎권세균 군집 구조는 $\gamma$-Proteobacteria에 속하는 Pseudomonas group과 Enterobacteriaceae, 그리고 low-G+C gram-positive bacteria 즉 Bacillus/Clostridium group에 속하는 Streptococcaceae와 Staphylococcus group이 우점하였다. 산성강하물에 따른 내산성 잎권세균 군집 구조의 변화는 상위 계통분류군(subphylum 수준)에서는 뚜렷이 볼 수 없었지만 보다 하위분류군에서 볼 때 $\gamma$-Proteobacteria의 Xanthomonadales group은 공단지역에서만, 그리고 $\alpha$-Proteobacteria의 Acetobacteraceae는 청정지역에서만 각각 검출되었으므로 이들 세균집단을 산성강서만, 그리고 $\alpha$-Proteobacteria의 Acetobacteraceae는 청정지역에서만 각각 검출되었으므로 이들 세균집단을 산성강 하물에 대한 지표세균으로서 사용할 수 있는 가능성을 남겨 놓았다.
