Abstract

Antibacterial compound from Bacillus subtilis MJP1 was purified using C18 Sep-Pak cartridge, ion exchange chromatography, and gel filtration chromatography. The purified antibacterial compound showed antibacterial activity against Listeria monocytogenes, Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus subsp. aureus, and Enterococcus faecalis. The purified antibacterial compound was found to be stable at $100^{\circ}C$ for 5 min and in the pH range of 3.0~9.0, but it was unstable at pH 10.0. It was inactivated by proteinase K and pronase E, and heat treatment at $121^{\circ}C$ for 15 min, but it was stable with lipase and $\alpha$-amylase treatment, which indicated its proteineous nature. Ultra performance liquid chromatography and electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry analysis were used to identify the purified antibacterial compound and confirmed the existence of two peptides (3356.54 Da, 3400.5244 Da).

B. subtilis MJP1이 생산하는 항균물질을 분리 정제하기 위하여 SPE, IEC, GFC를 통한 정제를 수행하였다. 정제된 항세균 물질은 tricine SDS-PAGE에서 하나의 band임을 확인 한 후 N-말단 아미노산 서열분석을 하였으나 N-말단이 blocking 되어 그 서열을 분석할 수 없였다. 이에 그 내부서열을 알아보기 위한 LC를 이용한 ESI-MS/MS를 시행하였으나 내부서열도 확인할 수 없었고, UPLC를 이용한 ESI-MS/MS를 시행한 결과 항세균 활성 물질은 분자량이 매우 유사한 2개의 peptide(3356.54 Da, 3400.5244 Da)가 존재함을 확인하였다. 정제된 항세균 물질의 항균 spectrum을 조사한 결과, L. monocytogenes에 가장 강한 항균활성을 나타내며 이외에 B. subtilis, S. aureus subsp. aureus, E. faecalis 등의 Gram 양성균에서 항균활성을 나타내였다. 정제된 B. subtilis 항세균 물질은 pH 3.0부터 pH 9.0 범위에서는 안정하였으며 $4^{\circ}C$, $30^{\circ}C$, $50^{\circ}C$에서 24시간, $100^{\circ}C$에서 5분 동안 매우 안정하였고, $70^{\circ}C$에서 24 시간, $100^{\circ}C$에서 30분 동안 처리한 구간부터 역가가 감소하여 $121^{\circ}C$에서 15분 동안 처리한 구간에서는 역가가 완전히 소실되었다. 효소 안정성 실험에서 정제된 항세균 물질은 일부 단백분해효소에 의해 분해되어 역가를 상실하였으며, lipase나 $\alpha$-amylase에서는 안정함을 나타냈다. 이로부터 정제된 항세균 물질이 넓은 pH 범위에서 안정하고, 비교적 높은 온도에서도 활성을 유지한다는 점을 관찰할 수 있었으며, 단백분해효소에 의해 분해되므로 bacteriocin임을 확인하였다. 본 연구를 통하여 B. subtilis MJP1으로부터 분리 정제된 bacteriocin은 class IIa군의 특성과 유사하며, B. subtilis MJP1은 본 분리 bacteriocin 이외에도 다른 항세균 물질과 항진균 물질을 생산하는 균주임을 알 수 있었다.
