일반적으로 고분자 재질은 표면이 수분을 배척하는 소수성이며 또한 통기성이 좋지 못하다. 이러한 물성을 개질하기 위하여 고분자 플라스틱에 기능성 충전제로 친수성인 세라믹 입자와 항균입자를 혼합하여 친수성, 통기성 및 항균성이 향상 된 복합재료를 제조하였으며 표면 접촉각 측정, 공기투과시간 측정, 항균효과 관찰을 통해 물성을 확인하였다. 이러한 복합 재료는 건강관련 제품에 널리 이용될 수 있다.

저가의 국내산 목재 방미제의 개발을 목적으로 산업부산물인 플루오르화암모늄(NH₄F)으로부터 합성한 6종의 플루오르화합물계 약제를 사용하여 목재에 오염을 일으키는 표면오염균의 생장억제 효과, 소나무, 잣나무 및 라디에타소나무에 대한 목재 방미효력, 목재의 철부식성 및 흡습성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 합성 약제 중에서 주요 성분이 F와 Cu인 RNF-3과 F 단독인 RNF-4가 처리 PDA 배지 및 목재에서 보존 균주의 생장이 전혀 이루어지지 않아 가장 우수한 균의 생장 억제 및 목재 방미효력을 가지고 있는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 이들 약제의 최적 처리 농도는 2%인 것으로 판단되었으며 목재 수종에 따른 방미효력 차이는 거의 나타나지 않았다. 약제 처리 목재는 높은 철부식비를 보였으며 이것은 약제 중에 함유되어 있는 F의 강한 부식성에 기인한 것으로 판단되었다. 그러나 농도 2% 이하의 RNF-3과 RNF-4를 처리한 목재의 철부식비는 무처리와 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다. 또한 합성 약제가 목재 흡습성에 미치는 영향은 없는 것으로 나타났다. 이들 약제의 실용화 검토를 위해서 침엽수 제재목 생산 현장에서의 야외 시험 등 추가적인 연구가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

Beauveria bassiana (Cordycipitaceae, Hypocreales, Ascomycota) is an anamorphic fungus having a potential to be used as a biological control agent because it parasitizes a wide range of arthropod hosts including termites, aphids, beetles and many other insects. A number of bioactive secondary metabolites (SMs) have been isolated from B. bassiana and functionally verified. Among them, beauvericin and bassianolide are cyclic depsipeptides with antibiotic and insecticidal effects belonging to the enniatin family. Non-ribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPSs) play a crucial role in the synthesis of these secondary metabolites. NRPSs are modularly organized multienzyme complexes in which each module is responsible for the elongation of proteinogenic and non-protein amino acids, as well as carboxyl and hydroxyacids. A minimum of three domains are necessary for one NRPS elongation module: an adenylation (A) domain for substrate recognition and activation; a tholation (T) domain that tethers the growing peptide chain and the incoming aminoacyl unit; and a condensation (C) domain to catalyze peptide bond formation. Some of the optional domains include epimerization (E), heterocyclization (Cy) and oxidation (Ox) domains, which may modify the enzyme-bound precursors or intermediates. In the present study, we analyzed genomes of B. bassiana and its allied species in Hypocreales to verify the distribution of NRPS-encoding genes involving biosynthesis of beauvericin and bassianolide, and to unveil the evolutionary processes of the gene clusters. Initially, we retrieved completely or partially assembled genomic sequences of fungal species belonging to Hypocreales from public databases. SM biosynthesizing genes were predicted from the selected genomes using antiSMASH program. Adenylation (A) domains were extracted from the predicted NRPS, NRPS-like and NRPS-PKS hybrid genes, and used them to construct a phylogenetic tree. Based on the preliminary results of SM biosynthetic gene prediction in B. bassiana, we analyzed the conserved gene orders of beauvericin and bassianolide biosynthetic gene clusters among the hypocrealean fungi. Reciprocal best blast hit (RBH) approach was performed to identify the regions orthologous to the biosynthetic gene cluster in the selected fungal genomes. A clear recombination pattern was recognized in the inferred A-domain tree in which A-domains in the 1st and 2nd modules of beauvericin and bassianolide synthetases were grouped in CYCLO and EAS clades, respectively, suggesting that two modules of each synthetase have evolved independently. In addition, inferred topologies were congruent with the species phylogeny of Cordycipitaceae, indicating that the gene fusion event have occurred before the species divergence. Beauvericin and bassianolide synthetases turned out to possess identical domain organization as C-A-T-C-A-NM-T-T-C. We also predicted precursors of beauvericin and bassianolide synthetases based on the extracted signature residues in A-domain core motifs. The result showed that the A-domains in the 1st module of both synthetases select D-2-hydroxyisovalerate (D-Hiv), while A-domains in the 2nd modules specifically activate L-phenylalanine (Phe) in beauvericin synthetase and leucine (Leu) in bassianolide synthetase. antiSMASH ver. 2.0 predicted 15 genes in the beauvericin biosynthetic gene cluster of the B. bassiana genome dispersed across a total length of approximately 50kb. The beauvericin biosynthetic gene cluster contains beauvericin synthetase as well as kivr gene encoding NADPH-dependent ketoisovalerate reductase which is necessary to convert 2-ketoisovalarate to D-Hiv and a gene encoding a putative Gal4-like transcriptional regulator. Our syntenic comparison showed that species in Cordycipitaceae have almost conserved beauvericin biosynthetic gene cluster although the gene order and direction were sometimes variable. It is intriguing that there is no region orthologous to beauvericin synthetase gene in Cordyceps militaris genome. It is likely that beauvericin synthetase was present in common ancestor of Cordycipitaceae but selective gene loss has occurred in several species including C. militaris. Putative bassianolide biosynthetic gene cluster consisted of 16 genes including bassianolide synthetase, cytochrome P450 monooxygenase, and putative Gal4-like transcriptional regulator genes. Our synteny analysis found that only B. bassiana possessed a bassianolide synthetase gene among the studied fungi. This result is consistent with the groupings in A-domain tree in which bassianolide synthetase gene found in B. bassiana was not grouped with NRPS genes predicted in other species. We hypothesized that bassianolide biosynthesizing cluster genes in B. bassiana are possibly acquired by horizontal gene transfer (HGT) from distantly related fungi. The present study showed that B. bassiana is the only species capable of producing both beauvericin and bassianolide. This property led to B. bassiana infect multiple hosts and to be a potential biological control agent against agricultural pests.

병원성 곰팡이에 대해 강한 길항성을 보이는 토양미생물 Bacillus subtilis HJ927을 Phytophthora capsici에 감염된 고추밭으로부터 분리해냈다. B. subtilis HJ927을 P. capsici와 함께 고추에 처리한 결과 P. capsici만을 접종한 처리구에 비해 크게 식물을 보호하는 것을 root mortality 측정결과 확인하였다. B. subtilis HJ927는 항곰팡이성 물질로 3-methylbutyric acid, 2-methylbutyric acid, 그리고 methyl 2-hydroxy, 3-phenyipropanoate를 분비해 내는 것을 HPLE와 GC-MS를 통해 분리 동정하였다. 또한 B. subtilis HJ927는 가수분해효소인 ${\beta}$-1,3-glucanase를 분비해 냄으로서 위 화합물과 함께 식물을 보호하는 것으로 분석되었다.
