Transformation of Antagonistic Pseudomonas stutzeri YPL-1 against Root Rotting Fungi Fusarium solani by Plasmid DNA

생물방제균 Pseudomonas stutzeri YPL-1의 형질전환 조건

For the genetic multipurpose of antagonistic abilities of Pseudomom etutzeri YPL-1 aganist Fusarium solani causing root rot of many important crops by genetic engineering, optimal conditions for transformation of P-stutzeri YPL-1 by pKT230 were investigated. Maxium frequency of the transformation was achieved when cells were harvested at early exponential growth phase. The highest transformation efficiency was obtained when the competent cells were exposed to chilled transformation buffer containing 20 mM RbCI, 100 mM $CaCl_2$ and added l${\mu}g$/ml of plasmid DNA. The pH optimum for transformation was 6.5. When the bacterial cells that were incubated during 60 minutes for the competence were brought in contact with plasmid DNA, the transformations were obtained in the best frequency. It was formed that transformation frequency was 2 ~$6 \times 10^{-6}$ under the optimal conditions.

식물근부균 Fusarium solani의 생육을 강력히 길항하는 생물방제균 Pseudomonas stutzeri YPL-1에 외부유전자 도입을 통한 유전공학적 육종방법의 기초를 확립하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 plasmid pKT230을 vector로 하여 형질전환의 가능성을 조사하였으며 이때, 혈질전환에 필요한 최적조건을 조사한 결과 P.stutzeri YPL-1의 형질전환에는 대수증식기 초기의 균체가 가장 적합하였고, 20mM RbCl과 100mM $CaCl_2$를 함유한 냉각용액에 1${\mu}g$/ml의 plasmid DNA를 첨가하였을 때 최대의 형질전환 빈도를 나타내었다. 또한 plasmid DNA와 competent cell를 혼합한 후 $0^{\circ}C$에서 60분간 처리하는 것이 가장 효과적이었으며 이와 같은 조건에서 형질전환 빈도는 2~$6 \times 10^{-6}$으로 나타났다.
