Soil-borne infectious disease including Pythium aphanidermatum and Rhizoctonia solani causes severe damage to plants, such as cucumber. This soil-borne infectious disease was not controlled effectively by chemical pesticide. Since these diseases spread through the soil, chemical agents are usually ineffective. Instead, biological control, including antagonistic microbe can be used as a preferred control method. An efficient method was developed to select an antagonistic strain to be used as a biological control agent strain. In this new method, surface tension reduction potential of an isolate was included in the ‘decision factor’ in addition to the other factors, such as growth rate, and pathogen inhibition rate. Considering these 3 decision factors by a statistical method, an isolate from soil was selected and was identified as Bacillus sp. GB16. In the pot test, this strain showed the best performance among the isolated strains. The lowest disease incidence rate and fastest seed growth was observed when Bacillus sp. GB16 was used. Therefore this strain was considered as plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR). The action of surface tension reducing component was deduced as the enhancement of wetting, spreading, and residing of antagonistic strain in the rhizosphere. This result showed that new selection method was significantly effective in selecting the best antagonistic strain for biological control of soil-borne infectious plant pathogen. The antifungal substances against P. aphanidermatum and R. solani were partially purified from the culture filtrates of Bacillus sp. GB16. In this study, lipopeptide possessing antifungal activity was isolated from Bacillus sp. GB16 cultures by various purification procedures and was identified as a surfactin-like lipopeptide based on the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), high performance liquid chromatography mass spectroscopy (HPLC-MS), and quadrupole time-of-flight (Q-TOF) ESI-MS/MS data. The lipopeptide, named GB16-BS, completely inhibited the growth of Pythium aphanidermatum, Rhizoctonia solani, Penicillium sp., and Botrytis cineria at concentrations of 10 and 50 mg/L, respectively. A novel method to prevent the foaming and to provide oxygen was developed. During the production of surface active agent, such as lipopeptide (surfactin), large amount of foam was produced by aeration. This resulted in the carryover of cells to the outside of the fermentor, which leads to the significant loss of cells. Instead of using cell-toxic antifoaming agents, low amount of hydrogen peroxide was added. Catalase produced by cells converted hydrogen peroxide into oxygen and water. Also addition of corn oil as an oxygen vector as well as antifoaming agent was attempted. In addition, Ca-stearate, a metal soap, was added to enhance the antifoam activity of com oil. These methods could prevent the foaming significantly and maintained high dissolved oxygen in spite of lower aeration and agitation. Using these methods, high cell density, could be achieved with increased lipopeptide productivity. In conclusion to produce an effective biological control agent for soil-borne infectious disease, following strategies were attempted i) effective screening of antagonist by including surface tension as an important decision factor ii) identification of antifungal compound produced from the isolated strain iii) novel oxygenation by $H_2O_2-catalase$ with vegetable oil for antifungal lipopeptide production.

항진균성 항생물질에 의한 고추역병의 생물방제에 관한 연구를 위하여 지역 경작지에서 고추역병균 P. capsici 생육을 저해는 다기능의 강력한 길항세균을 선발하였다 선발된 균주는 배양학적, 생리학적, 생화학적 실험과 AEI(CHB50) 및 Biolog(Microlog 4.01C) 시스템을 이용하여 동정한 결과 B. megaterium와 97%이상 일치하여 최종적으로 선발된 길항세균을 B. megaterium KL 39로 명명하였다. B.megaterium KL 39의 P. capsic에 대한 길항은 열에 안정하고 n-BuOH에 추출이 되는 저분자성 항생물질과 용매에 추출되지 않은 열에 약한 고분자성의 식물병원균 세포벽 가수분해효소인 cellulase에 의한 것으로 확인되었다. 길항균주 B.megaterium KL 39가 생산하는 항진균성 항생물질은 P.capsici의 포자발아와 균사성장에 큰 영향을 미쳤으며 0.4% fructose, 0.3% yeast extract, 5 mM KCI (pH 8.0)을 포함한 배지에서 3$0^{\circ}C$, 40시간 배양하였을 때 그 생산성이 최대치를 나타내었다. Diaion HP-20 column, silica gel column, Sephadex LH-20 column과 HPLC에 의해 항생물질을 정제하였으며 정제된 항생물질은 TLC plate상에서 Ethanol:Ammonia:Wate.(8:1:1)로 전개한 결과 RF value가 0.32를 나타내었으며, 단일물질로 정제된 항생물질을 KL39로 명명하였다. 선발된 길항미생물 E. megaterium KL 39와 정제된 항생물질 KL39를 가지고 고추를 기주식물로 하여 in vivo pot시험 결과 고추역병균 P.capsic게 의해 유발되는 고추역병에 대한 길항력으로 두 가지 모두 고추역병 방제력이 있음을 식물실험에서 확인할 수 있었다.
