Abstract

Fermented skate is a traditional Korean food popular in Southwestern area of Korea. It has a characteristic flavor and alkaline pH. In this study we tried to determine the microbial flora in fermented skate using two different approaches. In culture-independent method, we amplified V2 region of 16S rRNA gene by PCR and cloned them into pUC18 plasmid to construct 16S rDNA fragment library. BLAST searches for the sequences obtained from this library revealed that uncultured bacterium clone 054E11.b was the most dominant flora in this fermented fish. In culture-dependent method, we diluted suspension of skate and spreaded on MRS, PCA, and MacConkey plates. We identified colonies grown on those plates by using PCR amplification of V2 region of 16S rRNA and DNA sequencing. BLAST searches of those DNA sequences resulted in totally different species with the observations from the 16S rDNA library analysis. Discrepancies of results obtained from both approaches suggest that the agar plates used in culture-dependent method may be different from the real condition of fermented skate. Therefore, results from culture-independent approach using 16S rDNA fragment library analysis may reflect real microbial flora in fermented skate.

발효홍어(홍어회)에 존재하는 박테리아 집단의 다양성을 확인하기 위해, 박테리아의 16S rDNA 절편들을 증폭하고 클로닝하여 라이브러리를 구축하였다. 삽입 서열의 염기서열을 결정한 후, BLAST 분석에 의해 미생물 동정을 하였다. 동일한 삽입서열 빈도를 계산하였을 때, 발효홍어(홍어회)에는 uncultured bacterium clone 054E11.b가 57.1% 나타남으로써 우점균으로 존재하고 있다고 추정하였다. 또한 발효홍어(홍어회) 현탁액을 한천배지에 도말하여 형성된 집락을 콜로니 PCR을 수행하였을 때, Pseudomonas sp. KC-EPS13 등 12 종의 박테리아가 동정되었다. 배양 의존적 방법과 배양 비의존적 방법으로 홍어회를 분석하였을 때, Psychrobacter sp. J466만이 두 가지 방법에서 모두 검출되었고 나머지 박테리아들의 균총은 상이하였다.
