현재 토양 생태에서 토양미생물은 유기물 분해, 질소 순환, 식물의 질소 이용 등 중요한 역할을 하고 있어, 토양 내 미생물 다양성을 분석하기 위한 연구는 지속적으로 진행되어 오고 있다. 본 연구에서는 논 토양의 미생물 생태 다양성을 조사하기 위한 효과적인 방법으로 denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE)를 적용하고자 본 연구를 수행하였다. 논 토양 미생물의 DNA를 분리하기 위하여 lysis buffer method, skim milk bead method, sodium phosphate buffer method, Epicentre SoilMaster DNA extraction kit (Epicentre, USA), Mo Bio PowerSoil kit (Mo Bio, USA)를 이용하여 토양 내 gDNA 최적 추출방법을 확인하였다. 그 결과 Mo Bio PowerSoil kit를 사용하였을 때 Shannon 다양성지수가 세균 3.3870, 진균 3.6254으로 미생물 다양성 분석시에 가장 효과적이었다. DGGE 분석을 위한 조건은 세균의 경우 6% polyacylamide gel, 45-60% denaturing gradient였고, 진균의 경우 6% polyacrylamide gel, 45-80% denaturing gradient에서 최적 분석조건을 보였다. 위의 분석법을 적용하여 논 토양내의 미생물 군집의 변화를 살펴보면 시간의 변화 요인에 의해 미생물 변화가 일어나는 것을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구에서 사용된 DGGE 분석법을 통해 논토양 미생물의 분석 가능성을 제시 할 수 있었다.

Vaginal lactic acid-producing bacteria of 80 pre-menopausal women were studied by isolation on Blood and DeMan-Rogosa-Sharpe agar, PCR with group-specific primers for Lactobacillus-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE), and PCR with specific primers for V3 region in 16S rRNA-temporal temperature gel electrophoresis (TTGE). Conventional isolation method on media detected only one lactobacillus (Lactobacillus brevis) while TTGE detected only Lactobacillus sp. DGGE detected seven Lactobacillus species; L. coleohominis, L. crispatus, L. iners, L. reuteri, L. rhamnosus, L. vaginalis, and Leuconostoc lactis. L. acidophilus and L. gasseri, which are prevalent in Western women, were not detected in Korean women. Furthermore, L. rhamnosus, Leuc. lactis, L. coleohominis, and Weissella cibaria, which were not previously reported in the vaginal microbiota of Korean women, were detected. The five most prevalent LABs in vaginal microbiota in Korean women were L. iners, Enterococcus faecalis, L. crispatus, Leuc. lactis, and W. cibaria.

Changes in the bacterial populations of a 5-stage biological nutrient removal (BNR) process, with a step feed system for wastewater treatment, were monitored by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) of PCR-amplified 16S ribosomal DNA fragments. DGGE analysis indicated seasonal community changes were observed, however, community profiles of the total bacteria of each reactor showed only minor differences in the samples obtained from the same season. The number of major bands was higher in the summer samples, and decreased during the winter period, indicating that the microbial community structure became simpler at low temperatures. Since the nitrogen and phosphate removal efficiencies were highly maintained throughout the winter operation period, the bacteria which still remaining in the winter sample can be considered important, playing a key role in the present 5-stage BNR sludge. The prominent DGGE bands were excised, and sequenced to gain insight into the identities of the predominant bacterial populations present, and most were found to not be closely related to previously characterized bacteria. These data suggest the importance of culture-independent methods for the quality control of wastewater treatment.

The bacterial communities in the intestinal tracts of earthworm were investigated by culture-dependent and -independent approaches. In total, 72 and 55 pure cultures were isolated from the intestinal tracts of earthworms under aerobic and anaerobic conditions, respectively. Aerobic bacteria were classified as Aeromonas (40%), Bacillus (37%), Photobacterium (10%), Pseudomonas (7%), and Shewanella (6%). Anaerobic bacteria were classified as Aeromonas (52%), Bacillus (27%), Shewanella (12%), Paenibacillus (5%), Clostridium (2%), and Cellulosimicrobium (2%). The dominant microorganisms were Aeromonas and Bacillus species under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions. In all, 39 DNA fragments were identified by polymerase chain reaction-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (PCR-DGGE) analysis. Aeromonas sp. was the dominant microorganism in feeds, intestinal tracts, and casts of earthworms. The DGGE band intensity of Aeromonas from feeds, intestinal tracts, and casts of earthworms was 12.8%, 14.7%, and 15.1%, respectively. The other strains identified were Bacillus, Clostridium, Enterobacter, Photobacterium, Pseudomonas, Shewanella, Streptomyces, uncultured Chloroflexi bacterium, and uncultured bacterium. These results suggest that PCR-DGGE analysis was more efficient than the culturedependent approach for the investigation of bacterial diversity and the identification of unculturable microorganisms.

동굴 내 정점별 세균 군집 구조를 분석하기 위하여 PCf amplified 16S rDNA denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis(DGGE)를 적용하였다. DGGE는 동일한 분자량을 갖는 dsDNA band라고 할지라도, 각각의 염기서열 차이에 따라 전기영동 상에서 고유한 band양상을 나타낼 수 있다. eubacteria의 16S rDNA V3region을 증폭하기 위해 GC341F와 PRUN518r을 primer로 사용하여 지하수내에 미생물 군집의 다양성과 유사성을 분석하였다. DGGE band 양상을 통해 동굴내의 세균 군집 구조는 외부 환경에 비해 상대적으로 종다양성이 낮으며 동굴내 에서 특이적으로 서식하는 종이 있음을 확인하였다. 또한 유기 영양물질의 공급이 제한되어 있는 동굴에서 구아노가 주요 유기 영양물질의 공급원으로서 큰 영향을 미치고 있는 것으로 파악되었다. DGGE 상의 일부 band의 염기서열분석 결과 Pseudomonas sp. NZ060과 Pseudomonas pseudoalcaligenes, uncultured Variovorax sp., soil bacterium NS7로 동정되었다.

Kimchi is a traditional Korean fermented vegetable food, the production of which involves brining of Korean cabbage, blending with various other ingredients (red pepper powder, garlic, ginger, salt-pickled seafood, etc.), and fermentation. Recently, kimchi has also become popular in the Western world because of its unique taste and beneficial properties such as antioxidant and antimutagenic activities, which are derived from the various raw materials and secondary metabolites of the fermentative microorganisms used during production. Despite these useful activities, analysis of the microbial community present in kimchi has received relatively little attention. The objective of this study was to evaluate the bacterial community structure from the raw materials, additives, and final kimchi product using the culture-independent method. Specifically, polymerase chain reaction-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (PCR-DGGE) was used to analyze the 16S rRNA partial sequences of the microflora. One primer set for bacteria, 341F^GC-518R, reliably produced amplicons from kimchi and its raw materials, and these bands were clearly separated on a 35-65% denaturing gradient gel. Overall, 117 16S rRNA fragments were identified by PCR-DGGE analysis. Pediococcus pentosaceus, Leuconostoc citreum, Leuconostoc gelidum, and Leuconostoc mesenteroides were the dominant bacteria in kimchi. The other strains identified were Tetragenococcus, Pseudomonas, Weissella, and uncultured bacterium. Comprehensive analysis of these microorganisms could provide a more detailed understanding of the biologically active components of kimchi and help improve its quality. PCR-DGGE analysis can be successfully applied to a fermented food to detect unculturable or other species.

제주도에 서식하는 2종의 해양 해면, Dictyonella sp.와 Spirastrella abata의 공생세균 군집구조를 16S rDNA-DGGE(denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis) 방법에 의해 분석하였다. 해면으로부터 total genomic DNA를 추출하여 GC clamp가 추가된 세균에 특이적인 341f primer와 518r primer를 이용하여 16S rRNA gene의 V3 부위를 증폭한 후 DGGE 전기 영동하고 재증폭하여 염기서열을 분석하였다. 그 결과 Dictyonella sp.에서 8개, Spirastrella abata에서 7개의 band를 확인할 수 있었다. 공통된 주요 band가 없는 패턴을 나타내었으며, DGGE band로부터 DNA를 추출하여 부분 염기서열을 분석한 결과, NCBI에 등록된 서열들과 93%~98%의 유사도를 나타내었다. Dictyonella sp.의 주요 해면 공생세균은 uncultured Gammaproteobacteria, Spirastrella abata의 경우 uncultured Alphaproteobacteria, Firmicutes에 각각 포함되어 해면 종에 따른 숙주 특이적 분포를 보이는 것으로 나타났다.

충남 태안군 일대 4곳의 해안사구 지역에서 자생하는 9종의 사구식물 연관 근권세균 다양성을 2003년 10월부터 2004년 3월까지의 기간 동안 3차례에 걸쳐 denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) 기법을 이용하여 조사하였다. 그 결과 한 밴드가 계속 모든 시료에서 우점하는 것으로 나타났으며, DNA 염기서열 분석에 의하여 Lysobacter enzymogenes와 가장 유사한 것으로 나타났다. 기타 주요 밴드들은 Pseudomonas와 Bacillus 속의 균주들로 동정되었다. L. enzymogenes가 9종의 식물 모두에서 지역이나 조사시기에 관계없이 우점적으로 나타난 것은 이전의 클론 분석을 통한 결과와 일치한다 (Lee et al. 2006a). Bacillus에 속한 밴드들이 모든 조사에서 출현하였으며, Pseudomonas 속 밴드들은 2003년 12월 조사에서 두드러졌다. DGGE 분석만으로는 Lysobacter가 사구식물에 가지는 중요성을 파악할 수는 없으나 건강한 개체에 지속적으로 발견되는 것으로 보아 Lysobacter의 존재는 식물에 긍정적인 영향을 가지는 것으로 사료된다.

This study employed two PCR-based 16S rDNA approaches, amplified rDNA restriction analysis (ARDRA) and denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE), to characterize the bacterial community structure in groundwater. Samples were collected from groundwater for the use by private residences, as well as for industrial and agricultural purposes, in Ansan City. Each PCR product was obtained by PCR with eubacteria 16S rDNA and variable V3 region specific primer sets. After amplification, the 16S rDNA PCR products were digested with 4-base site specific restriction endonucleases, and the restriction pattern analyzed. The genetic diversity and similarity of the groundwater bacterial community was analyzed by eubacteria universal primer sets for the amplification of variable V3 regions of the bacterial 16S rDNA. The result of the bacterial community analysis, by ARDRA and DGGE, revealed the same pattern. The highest diversity was found in groundwater from site G1, which was used in residences. In the DGGE profile, a high intensity band was sequenced, and revealed to be Pseudomonas sp. strain P51.
