Abstract

Chemotaxis is the movement of an organism toward chemical attractant and away from chemical repellents. Several bacteria are known to cometabolically degrade some pollutants and attracted to the pollutants. The chemotactic responses to these compounds influence the efficiency of bioremediation because the first precondition of pollutant degradation is definitely confrontation between microorganisms and pollutants. In this review, we summarize present knowledge of about the chemotactic mechanism to environmental pollutants of Pseudomonas species.

일반적으로 운동성세균은 영양분에 대하여 유인반응(정주화성)을 보인다는 것은 100여년의 주화성 연구 역사를 통하여 잘 알려져 있다. 그 중에 일부 환경오염물질을 분해 가능한 운동성 세균은 환경오염물질에 까지 유인반응을 보인다. 이 환경오염물질 감지 기능을 잘 활용한다면 '환경오염원까지 자발적으로 이동하여 그 화학물질을 분해하는 레이더 탑재형 환경정화세균의 개발이 가능할 것이다. 본 고에서는 지금까지 알려진 환경오염물질 감지를 위한 주화성 분자기구를 정리하고 향후 전망을 논하고자 한다.
