Pseudomonas sp. S-47 is capable of degrading catechol and 4-chlorocatechol via the meta-cleavage pathway. XyITE products catalyze the dioxygenation of the aromatics. The sylT of the strain S-47 is located just upstream of the xylE gene. XylT of the strain S-47 is located just upstream of the xylE gene. XyIT is typical chloroplast-type ferredoxin, which is characterized by 4 cystein residues that are located at positions 41, 46, 49, and 81. The chloroplast-type ferredoxin of Pseudomonas sp. S-47 exhibited a 98% identity with that of P. putida mt-2(TOL plasmid) in the amino acid sequence, but only about a 40 to 60% identity with the corresponding enzymes from other organisms. We constructed two recombinant plasmids (pRES1 containing xylTE and pRES101 containing xylE without xylT) in order to examine the function of XyIT for the reactivation of the catechol 2,3-dioxygenase (XyIE) that is oxidized with hydrogen peroxide was recovered in the catechol 2,3-dioxygenase (C23O) activity about 4 mimutes after incubation, but the pRES101 showed no recovery. That means that the typical chloroplast-type ferredoxin (XyIT) of Pseudomonas sp. S-47 is involved in the reactivation of the oxidized C23O in the dioxygenolytic cleavage of aromatic compounds.

Achromobacter xylosoxidans KF701 and Pseudomonas putida (NAH7) were significantly different in degradative capability of aromatic compounds including benzoates, biphenyls, and naphthalene. However, both of the bacterial strains can grown on catechol as the sole carbon and energy source. Catechol 2, 3-dioxygenase gene for naphthalene oxidation or biphenyl oxidation was cloned into Escherichia coli HB 701. A E. coli HB 101 clone containing catechol 2, 3-dioxygenase gene from P. putida (NAH7) contains a recombinant plasmid with 3.60kb pBR322 and 6-kb insert DNA. Another E. coli HB101 clone containing catechol 2, 3-dioxygenase gene from A. xylosoxidans KF 701 has a recombinant plasmid with 4.4kb pBR322 and 10-kb insert DNA. Physical maps of the recombinant plasmids were constructed, and catechol 2, 3-dioxygenase gene in the recombinant plasmide was further localized and subcloned int M13. The cloned-catechol 2, 3-dioxygenase game products were identified as yellow bands on nondenaturaing polyacrylamide gel after electrophoresis followed by activity staining with catechol solution.

The biodegradation of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) was performed on a laboratory scale using P. putida originally isolated from explosive-contaminated soil. One hundred mg/1 of TNT was completely degraded within 20 h under optimum conditions. Various supplemental energy sources (carbon sources, nitrogen sources, and surfactant) were tested, with the main objective of identifying an inexpensive source and enhancing the degradation rate for large-scale biodegradation. Based on the degradation rate, molasses was selected as a possible supplemental carbon source, along with NH$_4$Cl and Tween 80 as a nitrogen source and surfactant, respectively. The degradation rate increased about 3.3 fo1d when supplemental energy sources were added and the degradation rate constant increased from 0.068 h$\^$-1/ to 0.224 h$\^$-1/. These results appear to be promising in application of the process to TNT-contaminated soil applications.

식물과 그 식물의 근권미생물과의 협력관계는 이미 오래전부터 관심을 받아왔고 지구 기후변화에 따라 식물과 그 근권미생물의 생태 및 지구환경에 대한 적응성은 막대한 지장을 받을 것으로 생각되어 왔다. 따라서 지구온난화에 따라 식물뿌리에 서식하는 근권미생물인 토양미 생물의 우점종이 어떻게 변화하는지에 대해 규명하고자 본 실험을 실시하였다. 우선 한국 식물생태계의 대표종인 소나무 (A), 잣나무 (B), 상수리나무 (C), 오리나무 (D) 를 선발하여 각각 실온인 $27^{\circ}C$와 $29^{\circ}C$(실온$+2^{\circ}C$), $31^{\circ}C$(실온$+4^{\circ}C$), $33^{\circ}C$(실온$+6^{\circ}C$)에서 1년 이상 성장시킨 후 이들의 뿌리토양을 무균적으로 채취하여 미생물 screening법과 colony counting을 통하여 각각의 군에서 우점종을 선별한 뒤 16S rRNA 분석에 의해 이들 각각의 우점종을 동정하였다. 그 결과 소나무 $27^{\circ}C$에서는 Bacillus cereus와 Enterobacter sp. CCBAU 15492, 소나무 $29^{\circ}C$에서는 Bacillus sp. 210_64와 Enterobacter sp. CCBAU 15492, 소나무 $31^{\circ}C$에서는 Bacillus sp. 210_64와 Enterobacter ludwigii, 소나무 $33^{\circ}C$에서는 Bacillus sp. 210_64와 Enterobacter sp. CCBAU 15492, Bacillus marisflavistrain DS6이 검출되었고, 잣나무 $27^{\circ}C$에서는 Bacillus cereus Q1, Pseudomonas sp. PR1-3, Arthrobacter woluwensisstrain CBU05/5295, 잣나무 $29^{\circ}C$에서는 Bacillus sp. G3, Pseudomonas sp. PR1-3, Bacillus sp. 210_24, 잣나무 $31^{\circ}C$에서는 Bacillus cereus Q1, Pseudomonas sp. PR1-3, 잣나무 $33^{\circ}C$에서는 Bacillus coagulans strain, Pseudomo-Dominant-species Change of Soil Microbes 59 nas sp. PR1-3, Chryseobacterium sp. COLI2, 상수리나무 $27^{\circ}C$에서는 Bacillus cereus strain B1, Pseudomonas putida strain W30, Arthrobacter woluwensis strain CBU05/5295, 상수리나무 $29^{\circ}C$에서는 Bacillus cereus strain CICC10185, Pseudomonas putida strain W30, 상수리나무 $31^{\circ}C$에서는 Bacillus cereus strain CG-T2, Pseudomonas sp. W15Feb9B, 상수리나무 $33^{\circ}C$에서는 Bacillus sp. CCBAU 51490, Arthrobacter woluwensis strain CBU05/5295, 오리나무 $27^{\circ}C$에서는 Bacillus sp. B18, Pseudomonas sp. PD 16, Enterobacter sp. CCBAU 15492, 오리나무 $29^{\circ}C$에서는 Rhodococcus erythropolis PR4, 오리나무 $31^{\circ}C$에서는 Enterobacter cloacae, Pseudomonas sp. PD 16, 오리나무 $33^{\circ}C$에서는 Bacillus subtilis strain SYH15, Pseudomonas sp. PD16을 우점종으로 동정하였다. 이 중 소나무는 $33^{\circ}C$에서 Bacillus marisflavi strain DS6가 $27{\sim}31^{\circ}C$에서는 발견되지 않다가 온도가 상승함에 따라 출현한 새로운 우점종으로 나타났고 잣나무에서는 $27^{\circ}C$에서 Bacillus cereus Q1, $29^{\circ}C$에서는 Bacillus sp. G3, $31^{\circ}C$에서는 Bacillus cereus Q1 등의 Bacillus속이 주요 우점종으로 나타났으나 온도가 가장 많이 상승한 $33^{\circ}C$에서는 Chryseobacterium sp. COLI2으로 우점종이 변한 것을 확인하였다. 본 실험은 차후 더 다양한 온도에서의 토양미생물 우점종 변화에 대한 연구가 진행되어야 할 것으로 사료되며 이들 연구결과들이 연계되어 지구온난화와 미생물의 관계, 그리고 새롭게 출현한 토양미생물과 식물간의 관계를 규명하는데 도움이 되는 데이터가 도출 될 것으로 기대된다.

콩나물은 우리나라에서 오래 전부터 재배하여 온 채소로서 그 기호성이 매우 높으며 영양학적으로 우수하나 일부 열악한 재배환경으로 콩나물의 부패문제가 자주 발생해 왔다. 따라서 본 연구는 시중의 부패된 콩나물로부터 다양한 병원균을 분리함과 동시에 재래콩 유전자원으로부터 시중의 콩나물 부패병에 강한 품종을 탐색하고 선발된 내병성 계통의 생육특성을 조사하였다. 분리된 콩나물 부패균들 중 병원성이 강한 콩나물 부패균인 Pseudomonas sp. SN239을 분리하고 16S rRNA 염기서열을 동정한 결과 P. putita, P. plecoglossicida, P. monteilii 및 P. mevalonii와 근연관계를 보였으나 완전히 일치하지는 않았으므로 Pseudomonas sp. SN239는 새로이 동정된 콩나물 부패균으로 여겨진다. 또한 재래콩 194계통에 콩나물 부패병균 Pseudomonas sp. SN239을 접종하여 저항성을 검정한 결과, 이병성 계통은 심하게 부패되었으나 한국 고유계통 YNPCS3-19는 병원성이 없었으며 또한 지속적으로 생육하였다. 그러므로 부패균 저항성 계통 YNPCS3-19는 부패균 저항성 품종 육성에도 활용 가치가 크다고 판단된다.

Pseudomonas sp. P20 was shown to be capable of degrading biphenyl and 4-chlorobiphenyl (4CB) to produce the corresponding benzoic acids wnich were not further degraded. But the potential of the strain for biodegradation of 4CB was shown to be excellent. The pcbA, B, C and D genes responsible for the aromatic ring-cleavage of biphenyl and 4CB degradation were cloned from the chromosomal DNA of the strain. In this study, the pebC and D genes specifying degradation of 2, 3-dihydroxybiphenyl (2, 3-DHBP) produced from biphenyl by the pebAB-encoded enzymes were cloned by using pBluescript SK(＋) as a vector. From the pCK102 (9.3 kb) containing pebC and D genes, pCK1022 inserted with a EcoRI-HindIII DNA fragment (4.1 kb) carrying pebC and D and a pCK1092 inserted with EcoRI-XbaI fragment (1.95 kb) carrying pebC were constructed. The expression of pcbC and D' in E. coli CK102 and pebC in E. coli CK1092 was examined by gas chromatography and UV-vis spectrophotometry. 2.3-dihydroxybiphenyl was readily degraded to produce meta-cleavage product (MCP) by E. coli CK102 after incubation for 10 min, and then only benzoic acid(BA) was detected in the 24-h old culture. The MCP was detected in E. coli CK1022 containing pebC and 0 genes (by the resting cells assay) for up to 3 h after incubation and then diminished completely in 8 h, whereas the MCP accumulated in the E. coli CK1092 culture even after 6 h of incubation. The 2, 3-DHBP dioxygenases (product of pebC gene) produced by E. coli CK1, CK102, CK1023, and CK1092 strains were measured by native PAGE analysis to be about 250 kDa in molecular weight, which were about same as those of Pseudomonas sp. DJ-12, P. pseudoa1caligenes KF707, and P. putida OU83.

The plant growth-promoting Pseudomonas strains, WR8-3 (Pseudomonas fluorescens), WR9-11 (Pseudomonas sp.) and WR9-16 (P.putida), which induced resistance systematically in watermelon to gummy stem rot were investigated on their induced systemic resistance(ISR)-related characteristics. The pyoverdine production was repressed in the standard succinate medium by increasing the concentration of $\textrm{FeCL}_3$. But the iron-binding ability on chrome azurol S agar media (CAS) was observed only in the strains, WR8-3 and WR9-16. When the two strains were mutated, the resulting iron-binding siderophore-negative mutants, WR8-3m and WR 9-16m, failed to promote the growth of watermelon and to induce resistance. The strains, WR8-3 and WR 9-16, slightly inhibited the growth of Didymella bryoniae at a low concentration of $\textrm{FeCL}_3$ on Kong's medium B, but not to exert control dffect. The strain WR9-11 showed antagonism in the concentration of $\textrm{FeCL}_3$ from 0 to $1,000\mu\textrm{M}$. When the crude lipoplysaccharide of each strain was treated in the rhizosphere of watermelon, mean lesion area was similar to that of the untreated control. The strains, WR9-11 and WR9-16 produced some level of hydrogen cyanide (HCN). Salicylic acid production was not detected in all of the strains.

Four naphthalene-degrading bacteria (Pseudomonas sp. strains O1, W1, As1, and G1) were isolated feom pollutant-contaminated sites. Examination of their substrate utilization and analyses of key naphthalene-catabolic regulatory genes revealed that the pathway and regulation of naphthalene-degradation in all four strains resemble those of NAH7 from P. putida G7. Superoxide anion production, superoxide dismutase activity, and catalase activity during their growth on naphthalene-amended medium increased significantly, compared with those with glucose-amended medium. Addition of ascorbate, an antioxidant, or ferrous iron ($Fe^{2+}$) increased the growth rates of all tested microorganisms on naphthalene. Northern blot and HPLC analyses showed that both nahA gene expression and naphthalene degradation increased under those conditions. Our data suggest that naphthalene degradation can impose severe oxidative stress, and defenses against oxidative stress would play an important role in the metabolism of naphthalene.

The homology among the genes coding for degradation of bipheny(BP) and 4-chlorobiphenyl(4CB) was comparatively analyzed by Southern hybridization in several BP/4CB degrading bacterial strains. As the hybridization results of their genomic DNAs with pcbABCD as the DNA probe, the group of Pseudomonas sp. DJ-12. P08 and P27 strain was separated by the group of P20 and P1242 strains. The P. pseudoalcaligenes KF707 showed the hybidization signal which was homologous to the group of DJ-12, but they had different restriction endonuclease sites. The pcbAB genes in pCUl recombinant plasmid from Pseudomonas sp. DJ-12 appeared to be homologous to pchAB genes in pKTF20 cloned from P. pseudoalcaligenes KF707, but the C genes in both strains were not homologous. The bphABC in pKTF20 showed the signals homologous to the cbp ACB in pAW6194 cloned from P. putida OU83, but homologous signal was not found botween the pcbABCD genes in pCUl and the cbpADCB genes in pAW6194 recombbinant plasmid.
