Abstract

Bacterial cell to cell communication strategies called quorum sensing (QS) using small diffusible signaling molecules (auto-inducers) govern the expression of various genes dependent on their population density manner. As a consequence of synthesis and response to the signaling molecules, individual planktonic cells synchronized group behaviors to control a diverse array of phenotypes such as maturation of biofilm, production of extra-polymeric substances (EPS), virulence, bioluminescence and antibiotic production. Many studies indicated that biofilm formations are associated with QS signaling molecules such as acyl-homoserine lactones (AHLs) mainly used by several Gram negative bacteria. The biofilm maturation causes undesirable biomass accumulation in various surface environments anywhere water is present called biofouling, which results in serious eco-technological problems. Numerous molecules that interfere the bacterial QS called quorum quenching (QQ), have been discovered from various microorganisms, and their functions and mechanisms associated with QS have also been elucidated. To resolve biofouling problems related to various industries, the novel approach based on QS interference has been emerged attenuating multi-drug resisting bacteria appearance and environmental toxicities, which may provide potential advantages over the conventional anti-biofouling approaches. Therefore this paper presents recent information related to bacterial quorum sensing system, quorum quenching enzymes that can control the QS signaling, and lastly discuss the anti-biofouling approaches using the quorum quenching.

정족수 인식 체계라 불리는 세균들의 세포간 의사교환 전략은 다양한 유전자의 발현조절을 통해, 생물막 성숙, 세포 외 고분자물질의 생산, 병원성 발현 및 항생제 생산 등과 같은 다양한 표현형을 조절하는 세균의 다세포성 행동 양식을 제어한다. 다수의 연구에 의하면 많은 종류의 그람 (Gram)음성 세균들이 정족수 인식체계에 필요한 신호전달 물질로 acyl-homoserine lactones (AHLs)를 사용하고 있으며, 이들은 생물막 형성에 중요한 인자로 작용함을 시사하였다. 이러한 정족수 인식체계에 의한 생물막의 형성은 물이 존재하는 모든 표면환경에서 불필요한 바오매스 축적이라는 심각한 기술적, 경제적 문제를 초래하고 있다. 최근 정족수 인체 체계를 교란하는 다수의 물질들이 다양한 미생물로부터 발견되어, 그들의 정족수 인식 체계와 관련된 주요 기능과 기작들이 밝혀지고 있다. 이러한 정족수 제어 물질들은 최근 다양한 산업에서 발생하는 생물 부착현상들을 제어할 수 있는, 환경 친화적이며 세균의 항생제 다재 내성을 완화 시킬 수 있는 새로운 방법으로 대두되고 있다. 따라서 본 논문은 세균의 정족수 인식 체계와 관련된 최근 정보, 정족수 인식 신호를 제어할 수 있는 정족수 제어 효소와 이러한 기술을 이용한 생물 부착 저해 방법 등을 논의하고자 한다.
