Biological Control of Plant Pathogen by Pmdornonas sp.

Pseudomondas sp.에 의한 채소병원균의 생물학적 억제

For the selection of powerful antagonistic bacterium for biological control of soil borne Eminia carotovora subsp. carotovora causing rot of vegetable, excellent strains (S4, S14, 565) were selected from 1,196 strains of bacteria which were isolated from rhizosphere in vegetable root rot-suppresive soil. Strains were identified to be Pseudomonas species with Api 20NE kit. Antagonistic substance was produced in 523 synthetic broth medium at pH 7~8 and $30^{\circ}C$ during 3 days culture. The substance was stable in the pH range of 6 to 9. When the basal medium was supplemented with mannitol and sorbitol as carbon source and calcium chloride as metal salt, the production of the inhibitory substance was increased. The inhibitory acitivity was increased by the addition of fertilizer in soil. The isolated strains were resistant to the agricultural chemical such as benomyl and fosethyl-Al-folpet, and the antibiotics such as penicillin and lincomycin. We had found that Pseudomonas sp. S14 strain had a single plasmid. After treated with acridin orange for curing, we confirmed the existence of antagonistic gene in the chromosomal DNA.

채소 등 작물의 부패균인 Erwinia carotovora subsp. carotovora의 생육을 억제하는 길항세균을 경작지 표토층으로부터 분리하고 배양조건에 따른 억제력변화를 조사하고, 길항관련 유전자의 소재를 확인하였다. 분리균들중 가장 우수한 억제력을 갖는 S4, S14, S65 균주를 최종 선발하고 Pseudomonas 근연종으로 동정하였다. 523 배지를 사용하여 배양조건에 따른 억제력 변화를 조사한 결과 배지초기 pH를 7-8로 조정하여 $30^{\circ}C$에서 3일간 배양하였을 때 가장 높은 억제력을 보였고, 배지성분중 탄소원으로 mannitol과 sorbitol, 무기염으로 CaCl2를 첨가했을 때 효과적이었으나 질소원에 대한 감수성은 낮았다.
