Abstract

A red pigment-producing bacterial strain was isolated from sediment sample of the East China Sea. The isolate was identified by analysis based on 16S rDNA sequence and morphological, physiological properties, biochemical characteristics and fatty acid composition. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rDNA sequence showed that isolate represent a phyletic lineage within the genus Zooshikella, and this strain was most closely related to Zooshikella ganghwensis KCTC $12044^T$ (AY130994) (99.79%). The strain was Gram-negative, aerobic and required NaCl at 0.5~8.0% for growth. The predominant cellular fatty acids were saturated and monounsaturated straight-chain fatty acids. Consequently, this strain was identified as a member of the genus Zooshikella and designated as Zooshikella sp. JE-34. The pigment showed characteristics similar to prodigiosin, a well-known red pigment previously detected in Serratia marcescens. The antimicrobial activity of Zooshikella sp. JE-34 bacterial pigment was tested against 18 microorganisms, which were fish and human pathogens. The Zooshikella sp. JE-34 red pigment showed high antimicrobial activity against Streptococcus iniae, S. parauberis, S. mutans, Staphylococcus aureus, and Propionibacterium acnes.

동중국해 해양퇴적층에서 다량의 적색색소를 생산하는 해양미생물을 분리하였다. 분리균주의 분류학적 특성의 확인을 위해 형태학적, 생리학적, 생화학적 특성, 세포지방산 분석, 16S rDNA 염기서열을 이용한 분자 계통학적 분석을 통해 분류학적 위치를 탐색하였다. 분자 계통학적 분석 결과 Zooshikella 속에 포함되는 것으로 확인되었고 Zooshikella ganghwensis KCTC $12044^T$ (AY130994)와 99.79%의 가장 높은 유사도를 보였다. 분리균주는 그람음성의 간균으로 호기성 및 NaCl 의존적인 배양특성을 보였다. 세포 지방산 분석결과 type strain과 주요 지방산 조성이 유사하였으며 이러한 특성을 종합하여 Zooshikella sp. JE-34로 동정하였다. JE-34가 생산하는 적색색소는 이미 보고되어 널리 알려진 Serratia marcescens에서 생산되는 적색색소인 prodigiosin의 특성과 유사하였다. 색소물질의 인체병원균 및 어류질병 유발세균에 대한 항균활성을 검토한 결과 18종의 피검균 중 특히 Streptococcus iniae, S. parauberis, S. mutans, Staphylococcus aureus, Propionibacterium acnes에 대한 항균활성이 우수하였다.
