Abstract

Microbial reduction of hexava1ent(VI) to trivalent(lII) chromium is regarded as one of the mechanisms that confers resistance to bacteria. In order to verify this hypothesis, we compared Cr(VI) resistance with Cr(VI) reduction among 20 phenotypically distinct environmental isolates from Cr-contaminated and uncontaminated soils. With glucose as an electron donor, Cr(VI) reduction by washed cell suspensions ranged from 0.014 to 0.305 mM Cr(VI) reduced $h^1$. Cr(VI) resistance of the isolates were measured by growth inhibitions on a liquid medium containing 2 mM Cr(VI) based on their decrease of $A_{630}1$ as compared to the controls without Cr(VI). The isolates had a broad range of resistance from no inhibition to 93.4% inhibition of their growth. Upon correlation analysis, there was no significant relationship between those two phenomena. At a population level, a comparison of % resistant viable counts among the Cr-contaminated and uncontaminated soils showed 19.1 % and 0.4% of their total viable counts, respectively. The difference of % resistance between two site,. strongly suggested that the Cr(VI) present in the soils influences natural selection for resistant phenotypes. However, it is unlikely that the Cr(VI) resistance is dependent solely on the reduction as judged by the correlation analysis.

미생물에 의한 6가이온 크롬의 3가이온으로의 환원은 세균에게 크롬내성을 제공할 수 있는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 가설을 확인하기 위하여 크롬오염 토양과 오염되지 않은 토양으로부터 형태적으로 다른 20종의 세균을 순수분리하고 각각의 균주에서 크롬내성과 크롬환원능을 상호 비교하였다. 전자의 공여체로 glucose를 사용했을 때 세포현탁액에 의한 크롬의 환원은 시간당 0.014-0.305mM Cr(VI)의 범위로 관찰되었으며, 액체배지에서 2mM의 크롬에 대한 내성은 크롬을 첨가하지 않은 배지에서 배양한 경우와 혼탁도를 비교한 결과 전혀 저해를 받지 않는 경우부터 93.4%의 성장저해를 받는 경우까지 다양하게 관찰되었다. 이러한 결과로부터 상관관계를 분석한 결과 크롬내성과 크롬환원은 전혀 상관이 없는 것으로 계산되었다. 한편 군집수준에서의 크롬내성비교는 크롬오염 토양과 오염되지 않은 토양에서 각각 19.1%와 0.4%로 나타나 크롬의 존재는 내성균주의 선택적 성장을 유도하는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 그러나 이때 획득된 크롬에 대한 내성은 크롬의 환원에 의해서 제공되는 것이 아님을 상관관계 분석으로부터 알 수 있었다.
