방선균은 종류, 형태, 생활환(life cycle)등이 매우 다양하다. 특히 속(genus)과 종(species)의 다양성은 다른 어떤 미생물 보다도 다양하여 현재 50여종의 방선균 genus가 보고되었다. 그 중에서도 Streptomyces 속이 제일 다양하여 현재 220여종의 species가 보고되었다. 이와같은 방선균의 종의 다양성은 2000년경에는 약 55종의 genus와 250여종의 Streptomyces species로 정착될 것으로 예상된다. 또한 방선균의 형태나 생리적 특성은 배양조건에 따라서 크게 변화하며 다양한 life cycle을 갖는다. Nocardia, Streptomyces, Kitasatosporia, Geodermatophilus, Sporichthya 등 대표적인 방선균의 영양배지조건에 따른 life cycle을 정리 보고한다.

AfsR2 is a global regulatory protein that stimulates antibiotic biosynthesis in both Streptomyces lividans and S. coelicolor. Previously, various afsR2-dependent genes including a putative abaA-like regulatory gene, SCO4677, were identified through comparative DNA microarray analysis. To further identify the putative SCO4677-dependent proteins, the comparative proteomics-driven approach was applied to the SCO4677-overexpressing strains of S. lividans and S. coelicolor along with the wild-type strains. The 2D gel electrophoresis gave approximately 277 protein spots for S. lividans and 207 protein spots for S. coelicolor, showing different protein expression patterns between the SCO4677-overexpressing strains and the wild-type strains. Further MALDI-TOF analysis revealed that only 18 proteins exhibited similar expression patterns in both S. lividans and S. coelicolor, suggesting that the SCO4677 could encode an abaA-like regulator that controls a few cross-species common proteins as well as many species-specific proteins in Streptomyces species.

The potato scab is caused by several species of Streptomyces. Among these species, only pathogenic strains were found to produce thaxtomin A characterized by necrotic bioassay and HPLC. In this study, identification of the pathogenic strains of Streptomyces was performed through the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) by using specific pathogenicity primer sets derived from the nec1 gene sequences of Streptomyces scabies. The expected PCR products were obtained approximately 580 bp and confirmed by sequencing. This PCR technique can be used effectively to identify the pathogenic Streptomyces species, that cause scab on potato tubers.

The development of rapid and efficient genome sequencing methods has enabled us to study the evolutionary background of bacterial genetic information. Here, we present comparative genomic analysis of 17 Streptomyces species, for which the genome has been completely sequenced, using the pan-genome approach. The analysis revealed that 34,592 ortholog clusters constituted the pan-genome of these Streptomyces species, including 2,018 in the core genome, 11,743 in the dispensable genome, and 20,831 in the unique genome. The core genome was converged to a smaller number of genes than reported previously, with 3,096 gene families. Functional enrichment analysis showed that genes involved in transcription were most abundant in the Streptomyces pan-genome. Finally, we investigated core genes for the sigma factors, mycothiol biosynthesis pathway, and secondary metabolism pathways; our data showed that many genes involved in stress response and morphological differentiation were commonly expressed in Streptomyces species. Elucidation of the core genome offers a basis for understanding the functional evolution of Streptomyces species and provides insights into target selection for the construction of industrial strains.

Streptomyces are attractive microbial cell factories that have industrial capability to produce a wide array of bioactive secondary metabolites. However, the genetic potential of the Streptomyces species has not been fully utilized because most of their secondary metabolite biosynthetic gene clusters (SM-BGCs) are silent under laboratory culture conditions. In an effort to activate SM-BGCs encoded in Streptomyces genomes, synthetic biology has emerged as a robust strategy to understand, design, and engineer the biosynthetic capability of Streptomyces secondary metabolites. In this regard, diverse synthetic biology tools have been developed for Streptomyces species with technical advances in DNA synthesis, sequencing, and editing. Here, we review recent progress in the development of synthetic biology tools for the production of novel secondary metabolites in Streptomyces, including genomic elements and genome engineering tools for Streptomyces, the heterologous gene expression strategy of designed biosynthetic gene clusters in the Streptomyces chassis strain, and future directions to expand diversity of novel secondary metabolites.

감자 더뎅이병은 제주도 전 지역에서 발생하는 병해로서 더뎅이병 발생 시 경제적인 손실이 막대한 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 제주도 감자 더뎅이병징이 있는 부위에서 Streptomyces spp.를 분리, 배양한 후, 16S rRNA 유전자를 이용하여 계통분석을 실시하였다. 계통분석 결과 제주도 감자 더뎅이병징이 있는 부위에서 분리된 균은 모두 Streptomyces spp.에 속하였으며, 대부분이 기존에 더뎅이병을 일으키는 Streptomyces spp.로 확인되었다. 그러나 일부의 분리균은 기존에 알려진 감자 더뎅이병원균과는 다르다. 따라서 이들 병원균에 대해서는 지방산과 단백질 분석, 그리고 DNA-DNA 혼성화 등과 같은 보다 많은 연구의 수행을 통하여 새로운 더뎅이병을 일으키는 Streptomyces spp.인지, 또는 아직까지 명명되지 않은 Streptomyces spp.인지를 확인해야 할 것으로 사료된다.

Over 50 morphologically distinctive soil Streptomyces were isolated from various Jocations in the Yongin area in Korea and visually screened for dye-decoloring activities on an agar plate. Two Streptomyces species (AD001 and ND002) showed strong dye-decoloring activities on the plate containing congo-red and new-fuchin dyes, respectively. Also, the liquid culture supernatants of these species showed 2,4-dicholophenol (DCP) oxidation activities only in the presence of hydrogen peroxide, a characteristic of Actinomycetes lignin-peroxidase (ALiP)-P3 isoform found in dye-degrading S. viridosporus T7A and S. badius 252. Based on their dye-decoloring capabilities and the 2,4-DCP oxidation kinetic data, it is suggested that these Streptomyces secrete not-yet-characterized extracelluar enzyme(s), whose activities are very similar to the ALiP-P3 enzyme.

관행적 화학농약의 식물병 관리 및 치료의 한계적인 효과는 유익한 세균이나 미생물을 이용한 식물병 제어 방법 개발의 필요성을 나타낸다. 지속 가능한 농업은 특히 다양한 항생물질과 이차 대사 생성물을 생산하는 방선균의 농업적 중요성을 시사하며, Streptomyces globiosporus SP6C4균주와 Streptomyces sp. S8은 강력한 항균 작용을 가지고 있으며, 지속가능한 농업에서 작물 생장을 개선하기 위한 우수한 균주로 인정되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 다양한 질소원과 탄소원을 활용하여 대상 미생물 Streptomyces 두 균주의 생장을 촉진시키는 방법을 조사하였다. L-글루타민과 L-시스테인이 첨가된 조건에서 S. globiosporus SP6C4와 Streptomyces sp. S8 균주의 포자 생성 능력이 증가하였으며, 각 균주의 생장이 촉진되었다. 이러한 결과는 유용 미생물의 대량배양 기술의 범위 확장과 농업미생물의 실용화에 기여할 것으로 생각된다.

Potato scab, an important disease that affects developing tubers, causes a major problem in potato cultivation. The major potato cultivation areas in Korea are located in two Northern provinces, Gangwon and Gyeonggi, and two Southern provinces, Jeju island, and South Jeolla. In these areas, potato scab is widely distributed and has caused severe problem in potato cultivation. Therefore, potato-growing areas were surveyed for identification and distribution of potato scab pathogens from 1996 to 1999. Pathogenic Streptomyces strains were isolated from potato scab lesions and six representative Streptomyces species were characterized based on their phenotypic and molecular characteristics including, pathogenicity, physiological and morphological properties, analyses of 16SrRNA genes and 16S-23S ITS region, DNA relatedness, production of thaxtomin A, and the presence of nec1 and ORFtnp gene homologs. Three species were identified as previously described Streptomyces scabies, S. turgidiscabies, and S. acidiscabies, while other three species having distinct phenotypics properties were identified as novel S. luridiscabiei, S. puniciscabiei, and S. niveiscabiei.
