Biological Active Substance Produced by a Strain of Streptomyces sp. (Part.III) Purification and Nutritional Requirement.

Streptomyces 속 균주가 생성한 물질의 생물활성 (제삼보) 정제 및 영양요구성

A piscicidal substance was isolated from the culture medium of Streptomyces umbrosus by avicel column chromatography and avicel thin layer chromatography after extration with chroloform. Bluegreen fluorescence was emitted under UV irradiation. Factors which govern toxin production and nutrition requirement for high toxin titres were observed. Nutritional uptake for toxin production was not curresponded with that for cell growth. Alanine, valine, serine asparagine, arginine, histidine, urea and sodium nitrate as a carbon source and glucose, mannose, rhamnose, xylose, arabitol and starch as a carbon source were recognized as a favorable nutrient for high toxin production. Magnesium was essential factor whereas vitamins were not of effective. Most of toxin was formed simultaneously with cell growth in esponential phase. Maximal production was observed for six day culture at 3$0^{\circ}C$. Tissues of gill, kidney and pnacreas in Cyprinus carpio were denatured extreamly after treating with the substance. Atrophied nucleous, indented membrane and degradated cytoplasm with necrotic affectness were noted on each tissue. The chemical formula of the substance was designated as $C_{38}$ $H_{66}$ $NO_4$.

공시균의 배양여액으로부터 독성물상을 chloroform 에 전용하여 농축한 후 avicel column chromatography 및 avicel TLC로 정제하였다. 독성물질 생성에 요구되는 영양원은 생육에 필요한 영양첨과 일치하지 않았으며 Valine, asparagine, arginine, 요소, D-glucose, D-mannose, L-rhamnose, D-ribose, D-xylose, D-arabitol, starch 등이 독성물질생성에 요구됨이 인정되었다. 또한 오탄당의 대사과정중 ribose, xylose, fructose, glucose가 대사되는 과정이 본 물질생성의 주된 경로로 추정된다. Vitamin류는 무관함에 비해 Mg가 필수적으로 요구되었다. 물질의 생성은 균의 증식에 비례되었으며 6일간 3$0^{\circ}C$에서 배양했을때 가장 많이 생성되었다. 독성물질 처리후의 잉어 조직은 아가미 신장 췌장등에서 핵진의 굴곡과 더불어 접의 심한 수축과 세포질의 괴사가 현저하였다. 본 물질의 화학식은 $C_{38}$ $H_{66}$ $NO_4$로 추정되며 UV조사시 회청색형광을 나타내었다.
