Abstract

We investigated the anti-microbial activity of propolis against the pathogenic bacteria and fungi on ginseng. We selected six microbials that caused postharvest root rots in ginseng. Propolis extracts were prepared by using the ethanol extraction method. We seeded the bacteria and fungi related to ginseng disease on a specific culture medium, and treated it with propolis extracts by using the paper disc method. Propolis extracts indicate the anti-microbial activity against Paenibacillus polymyxa, Fusarium solani, Rhizoctonia solani AG-1 and Pythium ultimum. However, the anti-fungal activity of propolis is weak on Pseudomonas fluorescens subsp. Cellulosa and Colletotrichum gloeosporioides. As a result, the antimicrobial effects of propolis against microbial that prevent ginseng growth were confirmed. The antimicrobial effects are shown according to the concentration of propolis against root rot. The fungi also showed antibacterial effects in a dose-dependent manner.
