본 연구의 목적은 상업적으로 사용하기 위하여 혈전용해효소를 생성하는 세균인 MK-15를 분리하고 동정하는 것이다. 먼저 세균 MK-15는 자연 발효된 콩으로부터 농화분리하였으며, 이 세균에 대한 형태학적 및 다양한 생리학적 특성 조사를 실시하였다. MK-15의 배양 상등액으로부터 혈전용해효소 활성을 fibrin plate 방법으로 solid fibrinolytic activity를 측정하였다. 그 결과, 콩배지에서 자란 MK-15의 혈전용해활성은 대조군으로 사용된 plasmin의 혈전용해활성에 비하여 약 2.5배 높았다. 16S rRNA를 분석한 결과 균주 MK-15는 Bacillus subtilis 군과 99.9% 유사성을 나타내었다. 따라서, 이 세균은 Bacillus sp. MK-15로 명명하였으며. 균주 MK-15는 GenBank에 [DQ163021]로 등록하였다.

A xylanolytic bacterial strain, MX47, was isolated from rotting plant matter in soil. The strain was aerobic and gram positive, and grew between pH 6.0 and 11.0. Cells were susceptible to thiostrepton and chloramphenicol. The major fatty acids (>3%) comprised 64.55% of iso-$C_{15:0}$, 22.76% of anteiso-$C_{15:0}$, and 3.92% of iso-$C_{17:0}$. The G/C content of the DNA was 44.15 mol%. The predominant respiratory quinone was menaquinone 7 (MK-7). Searches for 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity as well as phylogenetic analyses strongly suggested that the strain should be classified to the genus Bacillus. However, its biochemical characteristics, including acid production and enzyme activities, are different from those of other Bacillus strains in the same clade, and therefore, we propose the name Bacillus sp. MX47.

오징어 젓갈로부터 호염성 균주를 분리하여 형태적, 생리 생화학적 특성 및 분자계통학적 분석을 통하여 동정하였고, 이 균주가 세포외로 생산하는 호염성 protease를 정제하여 그 특성을 분석하였다. 본 균주는 NaCl 0~14%, $20\sim55^{\circ}C$ 및 pH 5~8에서 성장하였으며, $35{\pm}5^{\circ}C$, pH 7 및 5% NaCl에서 최적으로 성장하였다. 주요 지방산 조성은 anteiso-$C_{15:0}$ (44.70%), anteiso-$C_{17:0}$ (15.76%) 및 $C_{16:0}$ (13.91%)이었고, menaquinone은 MK-7이었으며, DNA G+C 함량은 50.58 mol%였다. 16S rRNA 유전자 염기서열을 통한 계통분석 결과 Bacillus이었으며 Bacillus sp. SJ-10으로 명명하였다. SJ-10 균주 배양액으로부터 40% 황산암모늄 침전과 Mono Q 컬럼크로마토그래피 과정을 거쳐 collagen과 gelatin을 특이적으로 분해하는 약 40 kDa의 세포외 protease를 정제하였다. 이 효소는 $35{\pm}5^{\circ}C$, NaCl $5{\pm}1%$ 및 pH 8에서 최적 활성을 나타냈으며, pH 5~10 범위에서 안정하였다.

Biological control of major rice diseases has been attempted in several rice-growing countries in Asia during the last few decades and its application using antagonistic bacteria has proved to be somewhat successful for controlling various fungal diseases in field trials. Two novel endophytic Bacillus species, designated strains YC7007 and $YC7010^T$, with antimicrobial, plant growth-promoting, and systemic resistance-inducing activities were isolated from the roots of rice in paddy fields at Jinju, Korea, and their multifunctional activities were analyzed. Strain YC7007 inhibited mycelial growth of major rice fungal pathogens strongly in vitro. Bacterial blight and panicle blight caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (KACC 10208) and Burkholderia glumae (KACC 44022), respectively, were also suppressed effectively by drenching a bacterial suspension ($10^7cfu/ml$) of strain YC7007 on the rhizosphere of rice. Additionally, strain YC7007 promoted the growth of rice seedlings with higher germination rates and more tillers than the untreated control. The taxonomic position of the strains was also investigated. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that both strains belong to the genus Bacillus, with high similarity to the closely related strains, Bacillus siamensis KACC $15859^T$ (99.67%), Bacillus methylotrophicus KACC $13105^T$ (99.65%), Bacillus amyloliquefaciens subsp. plantarum KACC $17177^T$ (99.60%), and Bacillus tequilensis KACC $15944^T$ (99.45%). The DNA-DNA relatedness value between strain $YC7010^T$ and the most closely related strain, B. siamensis KACC $15859^T$ was $50.4{\pm}3.5%$, but it was $91.5{\pm}11.0%$ between two strains YC7007 and $YC7010^T$, indicating the same species. The major fatty acids of two strains were anteiso-$C_{15:0}$ and iso $C_{15:0}$. Both strains contained MK-7 as a major respiratory quinone system. The G+C contents of the genomic DNA of two strains were 50.5 mol% and 51.2 mol%, respectively. Based on these polyphasic studies, the two strains YC7007 and $YC7010^T$ represent novel species of the genus Bacillus, for which the name Bacillus oryzicola sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is $YC7010^T$ (= KACC $18228^T$). Taken together, our findings suggest that novel endophytic Bacillus strains can be used for the biological control of rice diseases.

A Gram-positive, aerobic or facultative anaerobic, non motile, endospore-forming bacterial strain, designated Gsoil $114^T$, was isolated from a soil sample of a ginseng field in Pocheon Province (South Korea), and was characterized taxonomically by using a polyphasic approach. It grew well on nutrient agar medium and utilized a limited number of organic substrates as sole carbon sources, including D-xylose and some other carbohydrates, but did not utilize L-amino acids and organic acids. The isolate was positive for oxidase test but negative for catalase, and negative for degradation of macromolecules such as starch, cellulose, xylan, casein, chitin, and DNA. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 41.8 mol%. The predominant isoprenoid quinone was menaquinone 7 (MK-7). The major fatty acids were $anteiso-C_{15:0}$ (32.1%), $iso-C_{15:0}$ (30.5%), and $anteiso-C_{17:0}$ (30.2%). Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that strain Gsoil $114^T$ fell within the radiation of the cluster comprising Bacillus species and joined Bacillus shackletonii LMG $18435^T$ with a bootstrap value of 95%. The highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities were found with Bacillus shackletonii LMG $18435^T$ (97.6%), Bacillus acidicola DSM $14745^T$ (96.9%), Bacillus sporothermodurans DSM $10599^T$ (96.5%), and Bacillus oleronius DSM $9356^T$ (96.5%). The phylogenetic distance from any other validly described species within the genus Bacillus was less than 96%. DNA-DNA hybridization experiments showed that the DNA-similarities between strain Gsoil $114^T$ and closest phylogenetic neighbors were less than 39%. On the basis of its phenotypic properties and phylogenetic distinctiveness, strain Gsoil $114^T$ (=KCTC $13944^T$=DSMZ $18134^T$) was classified in the genus Bacillus as the type strain of a novel species, for which the name Bacillus ginsengihumi sp. nov. is proposed.
