본 연구는 담수환경에서 항균활성을 보유한 미생물을 발굴하고, 활성 증진을 위해 배양조건을 최적화하는 것이다. 상주시 중동면 오상저수지에서 시료를 채취하여 38종의 미생물을 순수분리하였다. 16S rRNA 염기서열 분석에 근거하여 Proteobacteria강(22종), Actinobacteria강(7종), Bacteroidetes강(6종), Firmicutes강(3종)으로 구성되어있는 것을 확인하였다. 메티실린내성 황색포도상구군 등 10종의 유해미생물에 대한 항균활성을 보유한 Burkholderia sp. OS17 균주를 선발하였다. 항균활성 증진을 위한 상용배지, 온도, 초기 pH별 생육 및 항균활성 비교실험을 수행하였다. OS17 균주는 YPD 배지, $35^{\circ}C$, pH 6.5로 배양했을 때 가장 활성이 높았다. LB, NB, TSB, R2A 배지와 $20^{\circ}C$, $25^{\circ}C$ 배양했을 때는 생장은 가능하나 항균활성이 전혀 없었다. 이전결과를 바탕으로 YPD 배지, $35^{\circ}C$에서 배양하면서 5 L fermenter를 이용하여 생육, 항균활성, pH 확인을 통해 배양 48시간을 최적 배양시간으로 선정하였다. 항균활성을 보유한 미생물의 배양 최적화는 항균물질 생산에 영향을 미치고, 이는 상업적 응용에 이점으로 작용할 수 있다.

A Gram-positive bacterium was isolated from the saline soils of Jangpura (U.P.), India, and showed high-level of radiation-resistant property and survived upto 12.5 kGy dose of gamma radiation. The 16S rDNA sequence of this strain was examined, identified as Bacillus sp. strain HKG 112, and was submitted to the NCBI GenBank (Accession No. GQ925432). The mechanism of radiation resistance and gene level expression were examined by proteomic analysis of whole-cell extract. Two proteins, 38 kDa and 86.5 kDa excised from SDS-PAGE, which showed more significant changes after radiation exposure, were identified by MALDI-TOF as being flagellin and S-layer protein, respectively. Twenty selected 2-DE protein spots from the crude extracts of Bacillus sp. HKG 112, excised from 2- DE, were identified by liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS) out of which 16 spots showed significant changes after radiation exposure and might be responsible for the radiation resistance property. Our results suggest that the different responses of some genes under radiation for the expression of radiation-dependent proteins could contribute to a physiological advantage and would be a significant initial step towards a fullsystem understanding of the radiation stress protection mechanisms of bacteria in different environments.

A novel microorganism that could degrade high molecular weight gellan was screened and isolated from soil. On gellan plate, the microorganism grew well and completely liquefied the plate. The gellan-degrading microorganism was isolated by pure culture on glucose and nutrient agar medium afterwards. The 16S rDNA sequence analysis and biochemical tests using an API 50CHB/20E kit revealed that the strain belonged to Bacillus sp. The isolate, named as Bacillus sp. YJ-1, showed optimum gellan-degrading activity in 0.5% gellan medium at pH 7.5 and 37$^{\circ}C$. The activity was measured and evaluated by the thiobarbituric acid and thin-layer chromatography method. Mass spectrometry revealed that the major gellan.. depolymerized product was an unsaturated tetrasaccharide consisting of $\Delta$4,5-glucuronic acid-(1$\rightarrow$4 )-$\beta$-D-glucose-(1$\rightarrow$4)- $\alpha$-L-rhamnose-(1$\rightarrow$3)-$\beta$-D-glucose, which is a dehydrated repeating unit of gellan, thus the enzyme was identified as gellan lyase. When the gellan was present in the medium, the gellan-degrading activity was much higher than that in glucose-grown cells. These results indicate that in the presence of gellan, Bacillus sp. YJ-1 is able to metabolize the gellan by inducing gellan-degrading enzymes that can degrade gellan into small molecular weight oligosaccharides, and then the gellan. depolymerized products are taken up by the cells and utilized by intracellular enzymes.

Mercury-resistant ($Hg^R$) bacteria were isolated from heavy metal polluted wastewater and soil collected near to tanneries of district Kasur, Pakistan. Bacterial isolates AZ-1, AZ-2 and AZ-3 showed resistance up to $40{\mu}g/ml$ against mercuric chloride ($HgCl_2$). 16S rDNA ribotyping and phylogenetic analysis were performed for the characterization of selected isolates as Bacillus sp. AZ-1 (KT270477), Bacillus cereus AZ-2 (KT270478) and Bacillus cereus AZ-3 (KT270479). Phylogenetic relationship on the basis of merA nucleotide sequence confirmed 51-100% homology with the corresponding region of the merA gene of already reported mercury-resistant Gram-positive bacteria. The merE gene involved in the transportation of elemental mercury ($Hg^0$) via cell membrane was cloned for the first time into pHLV vector and transformed in overexpressed C43(DE3) E. coli cells. The recombinant plasmid (pHLMerE) was expressed and the native MerE protein was obtained after thrombin cleavage by size exclusion chromatography (SEC). The purification of fusion/recombinant and native protein MerE by Ni-NTA column, dialysis and fast protein liquid chromatography (FPLC/SEC) involved unfolding/refolding techniques. A small-scale reservoir of wastewater containing $30{\mu}g/ml$ of $HgCl_2$ was designed to check the detoxification ability of selected strains. It resulted in 83% detoxification of mercury by B. cereus AZ-2 and B. cereus AZ-3, and 76% detoxification by Bacillus sp. AZ-1 respectively (p < 0.05).

항생제 및 항진균제 개발에 있어 미생물 유래 천연 생리활성물질 분리를 통한 선도물질을 확보하는 일은 매우 중요하며, 신규 물질을 확보하기 위해 꾸준한 연구가 필요할 것으로 사료된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 천연 항생물질의 개발을 위한 연구의 일환으로 태백산 일대의 토양에서, 인체에 다양한 감염증을 유발하는 효모와 곰팡이에 대하여 강한 항진균 활성을 나타내는 BCNU 2003 균주를 분리하여 항진균 활성 물질의 이용가능성에 대해 연구하였다. BCNU 2003은 계통적으로는 B. amyloliquefaciens와 B. vallismortis의 subcluster에 속하는 균주로 동정되어 Bacillus sp. BCNU 2003으로 명명하였다. 항균물질 분리를 위해 ethyl acetate (EA) 추출물과 펩타이드 추출물로 나누어 그람양성 세균, 그람음성 세균 및 진균에 대한 항균활성을 측정한 결과, EA 추출물이 6종의 인체병원성 진균에 대해 모든 높은 항진균 활성을 나타내었다. 특히 기회성 감염을 유발하는 A. niger, C. albicans 그리고 Sa. cerevisiae에 대해 높은 억제 활성을 나타냈으며, 균배양액에서 낮은 저해율을 보였던 Ep. floccosum에 대해서도 EA 추출물은 높은 활성을 나타내었다. 따라서 다양한 인체 병원성 진균에 대해 넓은 항균스펙트럼을 가지는 Bacillus sp. BCNU 2003 균주의 활성물질 분리를 통해 특정 항균 및 항진균 물질의 대량생산 조건 등의 추가적인 연구를 수행한다면, 인체 감염증을 포함한 광범위한 피부치료제의 응용개발이 가능하리라 사료된다.

This study was carried out to explore a non-chemical strategy for enhancing productivity by employing some antagonistic rhizobacteria. One hundred eighteen bacterial isolates were obtained from the rhizospheric zone of various crop fields of Gangwon-do, Korea, and screened for antifungal activity against Fusarium wilt (Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lactucae) in lettuce crop under in vitro and in vivo conditions. In broth-based dual culture assay, fourteen bacterial isolates showed significant inhibition of mycelial growth of F. oxysporium f. sp. lactucae. All of the antagonistic isolates were further characterized for the antagonistic traits under in vitro conditions. The isolates were identified on the basis of biochemical characteristics and confirmed at their species level by 16S rRNA gene sequencing analysis. Arthrobacter sulfonivorans, Bacillus siamensis, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, Pseudomonas proteolytica, four Paenibacillus peoriae strains, and Bacillus subtilis were identified from the biochemical characterization and 16S rRNA gene sequencing analysis. The isolates EN21 and EN23 showed significant decrease in disease severity on lettuce compared to infected control and other bacterial treatments under greenhouse conditions. Two bacterial isolates, EN4 and EN21, were evaluated to assess their disease reduction and growth promotion in lettuce in field conditions. The consortium of EN4 and EN21 showed significant enhancement of growth on lettuce by suppressing disease caused by F. oxysporum f. sp. lactucae respectively. This study clearly indicates that the promising isolates, EN4 (P. proteolytica) and EN21 (Bacillus siamensis), can be commercialized and used as biofertilizer and/or biopesticide for sustainable crop production.

Protease produced from Bacillus sp. FSE-68 was isolated from Meju, a Korean fermented soybean starter, and was purified by a two-consecutive aqueous two-phase system. The change of partition coefficient (K) in the polyethylene glycol (PEG)/potassium phosphate buffer (PPB) aqueous two-phase system was measured at different pHs (6.0- 9.2), PPB concentrations (8-12%), and temperatures (4 and $20^{\circ}C$). As the PPB concentration in the aqueous two-phase system increased, the protease concentration in the top phase (PEG-rich phase) increased, thereby enhancing the partition coefficient. The minimum partition coefficient of the protease was achieved at pH 7.0, whereas that of the total protein was at pH 6.0. The biggest difference in partition coefficients of total protein and protease occurred at pH 6.0. It was interesting to note that the partition coefficient of protease decreased as the temperature increased. The optimum condition of the primary aqueous two-phase extraction of Bacillus sp. FSE-68 was pH 6.0, 14% (w/w) PPB, and 16% (w/w) PEG at $4^{\circ}C$, and the crude enzyme concentration in this system was 50% (w/w). The protease, which was concentrated in the top phase, was further mixed with 15% (w/w) PPB (pH 7.0) in the ratio of 1:1 at $20^{\circ}C$ to elute the bottom phase (PPB-rich phase). Using these steps, the purification fold achieved was 9.2 with a 44.7% yield.
