Abstract

This study was carried out to establish the optimum condition for cell disruption with a sonificator in the detection of the gram positive bacteria, Bacillus globigii and Streptococcus epidermidis for the purpose of developing automatic fluorometer. The efficiency of sonificator on the Bacillus globigii and Streptococcus epidermidis disruption differed greatly according to the diameter of sonificator probe tip. The larger sonificator probe diameter showed greater disruption. Bacillus globigii was more disruptive than Streptococcus epidermidis. Sonificator probe of the 13 mm diameter was the most efficient one when sample was sonificated for 20 seconds. The detection limits of Bacillus globigii and Streptococcus epidermidis were $10^5CFU/m{\ell}\;and\;5{\times}10^5CFU/m{\ell}$ respectively when samples were sonificated for 20 seconds with a sonificator probe of 13 mm diameter.

본 연구에서는 sonificator를 장착하여 세포막을 파쇄하고 현장에서 형광을 이용하여 조작이 간편하고 단시간에 DNA를 측정할 수 있는 자동화된 형광기를 개발하기 위하여 그람 양성균으로 간균인 Bacillus globigii와 구균인 Streptococcus epidermidis를 대상으로 최적의 세포 파쇄조건을 확립하고자 하였다. Sonificator probe 직경에 따라 세포의 파쇄 효과가 큰 차이를 보였으며 13 mm probe로 20초동안 sonification시키는 것이 가장 효율적인 것으로 나타났으며 간균인 Bacillus globigii가 구균인 Streptococcus epidermidis보다 더 파쇄가 잘 되는 것으로 나타났다. 시료에 잠긴 Sonificator probe tip 깊이에 따라서도 세포의 파쇄 효과가 크게 나타났는데 시료에 잠긴 probe tip의 깊이가 깊을수록 큰 파쇄 효과를 발휘하였다. 선정된 최적의 파쇄 조건에서 최저 탐지농도는 Bacillus globigii, Streptococcus epidermidis 모두 $5{\times}10^5CFU/m{\ell}$의 농도를 탐지 가능한 것으로 나타났다.
