소포로리피드(sophorolipid)는 Candida bombicola에 의해 생산되는 당지질 구조의 생물 계면활성제로, 일반적으로 산성형과 락톤형의 혼합으로 존재한다. 본 연구에서는 소포로리피드 생산균주의 유전자조절과 대사공학적 방법을 통해 락톤형이 96% 이상으로 존재하는 소포로리피드의 물리화학적 특성, 항균 특성, 세포독성 등을 살펴보았다. 락톤형 소포로리피드를 물에 1 wt%에서 0.001 wt% 농도로 희석시키면 pH가 3.2~4.6 범위의 약산성을 나타내었다. 산-염기 적정곡선으로부터 락톤형 소포로리피드의 $pK_a$ 값은 대략 4.3으로 측정되었다. 임계 마이셀 농도(CMC)는 $10^{-2}wt%$로, 이때 수용액의 표면장력은 36 mN/m까지 감소하였다. 락톤형 소포로리피드의 항균 활성을 살펴본 결과, Propionibacterium acnes에 대하여 $1{\times}10^{-3}g/mL$, Corynebacterium xerosis에 대하여 $5{\times}10^{-3}g/mL$의 최소저지농도(MIC) 값을 보였다. MTT assay 실험 결과로부터 락톤형 소포로리피드의 세포독성이 트리클로산보다 10배 더 낮은 것으로 나타났다.

Sophorolipid, a glycolipid type biosurfactant produced from Candida Bombicola, inhibited the growth of bacteria and fungi. Between two types of sophorolipid, acid and lactone form, the latter had more strong antimicrobial activity. Culturing parameters including oil substrate, initial glucose concentration, aeration, culture mode, affected the ratio of two forms. The fatty acid moety varied depending on the oil having different fatty acid chains. Minimum inhibitory concentration of lactonic sophorolipid toward Propionibacterium acne was below 0.5ppm. This result indicated the potentials of sophorolipid as antimicrobial agent in various area including cosmetics.

Characteristics of sophorolipid and rhamnolipid were evaluated as antifungal agents against plant pathogenic fungi. Eight percent of mycelial growth of plant pathogen (Phytophthora sp. and Pythium sp.) was inhibited by 200 mg/l of rhamnolipid or 500 mg/l of sophorolipid, and zoospore motility of Phytophthora sp. decreased by $90\%$ at 50 mg/l of rhamnolipid and $80\%$ at 100 mg/l of sophorolipid. The effective concentrations for zoospore lysis were two times higher than those of zoospore motility inhibition. The highest zoospore lysis was observed with Phytophthora capsici; $80\%$ lysis at 100 mg/I of di-rhamnolipid or lactonic sophorolipid, showing the dependency of structure on the lysis. In the pot test, the damping-off disease incidence ratio decreased to $42\%\;and\;33\%$ of control value at 2,000 mg/l sophorolipid and rhamnolipid, respectively. These results showed the potential of microbial glycolipid biosurfactants as an effective antifungal agent against damping-off plant pathogens.
