Characteristics of the symbionts Pseudomonas sp. J2W strain and Xanthomonas sp. J2Y strain which utilize polyvinyl alcohol

Polyvinyl alcohol 이용 공생균 Pseudomonas sp. J2W와 Xanthomonas sp. J2Y의 특성

Two strains J2W and J2Y which were isolated from soil can utilize polyvinyl alcohol(PVA) as a sole carbon source. PVA was utilized symbiotically by the mixed culture of these two strains which could not utilize PVA in each respective pure culture. Effect of degree of PVA polymerization on the its utilization was examed, and there was remarkable difference among three kind of PVA(PVA 500, 1500 and 2000). The reconstruction of there two strains was carried out with other symbionts Pseudomonas sp. PW and Pseudomonas sp. G5Y which were able to utilize PVA. PVA utilization occured in each remixed culture of J2Y strain with Pseudomonas sp. PW J2W strain with Pseudomonas sp. G5Y, respectively. Identification of bacteria was based on morphological and biological chatacteristics, J2W and J2Y strain were similar to a strain of Pseudomonas pseudimallei and Xanthomonas campestris, respectively.

Polyvinyl alcohol(PVA)을 탄소원으로 이용할 수 있는 세균 J2W 균주와 J2Y균주를 토양으로 부터 분리하였다. 분리된 이들 균주는 각각 별도의 순수배양으로는 PVA를 이용할 수 없었으나 이들 균주를 혼합배양 하였을 경우는 PVA를 분해 이용할 수 있었으며, 또한 PVA의 중합도(중합도 500, 1500, 2000)에 관계없이 이용할 수 있었다. 이들 두 균주는 다른 PVA 이용 공생균주 Pseudomonas PW와 Pseudomonas G5Y와 재구성하여 혼합배양 하였을 때 J2Y균주와 Pseudomonas PW, J2W 균주와 Pseudomonas G5Y 균주와의 혼합배양에서는 PVA를 이용할 수 있었다. 이들 두 균주는 동정 결과 J2W균주는 Pseudomons pseudomallei 근연균으로, J2Y는 Xanthomonas campestris 근연균으로 동정되었다.
