Abstract

Actinobacteria tolerating extreme conditions can be a rich source of bioactive compounds and enzymes. In this study filamentous actinobacteria were isolated from soils of Ulleung Island, and their physiological properties were examined. Soil samples were collected, serially diluted and spread on various agar media. The average viable counts of total bacteria were $1.28{\times}10^7CFU/g$ for soil sample 1 (ULS1) and $2.05{\times}10^7CFU/g$ for soil sample 2 (ULS2). As a result, 34 strains of actinobacteria were isolated and assigned to the genera Streptomyces (16 strains), Isoptericola (5 strains), Rhodococcus (4 strains), Agromyces (3 strains), Micrococcus (2 strains), Arthrobacter (1 strain), Williamsia (1 strain), Microbacterium (1 strain), and Oerskovia (1 strain) based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. Enzyme activity and plant growth promoting potential were tested for representative isolates. Multiple strains of Streptomyces degraded starch, casein and Tween 80. As for plant growth promoting potential, strains of Oerskovia, Williamsia, Isoptericola, and Streptomyces solubilized phosphate, and those of Agromyces, Oerskovia, Micrococcus, Rhodococcus, Streptomyces, and Isoptericola produced 3-indole-acetic acid (IAA), respectively. Selected strains of Streptomyces exhibited strong antagonistic activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis as well as Candida albicans. This study confirms that actinobacteria from Ulleung Island can be a good source of novel bioactive compounds.

본 연구에서는 경상북도 울릉군에서 분리한 토양 방선균에 대해 생리학적 특징과 다양성에 대해 연구하였다. ULS1 및 ULS2로 명명한 2개의 토양 시료를 채취하여 다양한 배지에 배양하여 분리하였으며, 평균 생균수는 ULS1 토양은 $1.28{\times}10^7CFU/g$, ULS2 토양은 $2.05{\times}10^7CFU/g$였다. 16S rRNA 유전자에 기반한 염기서열 분석 결과, 총 9개의 속에서 34개의 균주가 분리되었으며 해당 속은 Streptomyces (16 균주), Isoptericola (5 균주), Rhodococcus (4 균주), Agromyces (3 균주), Micrococcus (2 균주), Arthrobacter (1 균주), Williamsia (1 균주), Microbacterium (1 균주) 및 Oerskovia (1 균주)에 속하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 다양한 효소활성과 식물 생장 촉진 활성 측정 결과, 전체의 58.8%가 단백질 분해 활성을, 79.4%가 Tween 80 분해 활성을, 그리고 61.8%가 DNA 분해 활성을 각각 가지는 것으로 나타났다. Oerskovia, Williamsia, Isoptericola 및 Streptomyces 속에 속하는 분리주들로부터 인을 가용화시키는 능력을 확인할 수 있었으며, Agromyces, Oerskovia, Micrococcus, Rhodococcus, Streptomyces 및 Isoptericola 속에 속하는 분리주들은 식물호르몬인 3-indole-acetic acid (IAA)를 생산하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. Streptomyces 속에 속하는 분리주들은 Candida albicans 뿐만 아니라 Staphylococcus aureus와 Bacillus subtilis에 항생활성을 나타내었다. 본 연구는 독특한 생태계를 구성하는 울릉도 지역의 토양 방선균 다양성 및 생리 활성에 대한 최초의 연구로서 의미를 가지며, 새로운 유용 생리 활성 물질의 좋은 원천이 될 것이라 사료된다.
