Abstract

During the screening of biological control agents for insect pests in the greenhouse, 70 dead insect-related fungi were isolated and tested insecticidal effect of their culture filtrates was tested. From this studies, CNAB-63 isolate showed strong control effects against the cotton aphids and the two-spotted spider mite as 65.19% and 77.55%, respectively. The insecticidal active compound of CNAB-63 isolate was purified from culture filtrate by silica gel chromotography, thin layer chromatography and HPLC. Purified active compound (CNAB) showed control effects against the two-spotted spider mite with 63.45% at $100\;{\mu}g/ml$ concentration. However, it did not exhibit antimicrobial activity against fungi and bacteria.

전국 각지에서 채집한 사멸곤충에서 분리한 곤충 기생성 진균이 생산하는 살충성 생리활성물질을 탐색한 결과 곰팡이 분리주 CNAB-63 균주가 목화진딧물과 점박이응애 모두에 대해 다른 분리균주들보다 비교적 높은 살충효과를 보인 바, 본 균주가 생산하는 살충성분을 각종 chromatography로 분리 정제하였다. 정제된 활성물질 CNAB는 점박이응애에서 66.59%, 목화진딧물에서 52.96%의 살충효과를 보였으며, 그 외에도 온실가루이에 살충효과를 보였으나 배추좀나방에는 미미한 살충효과를 보였다. 한편 활성물질 CNAB는 $100\;{\mu}g/disk$ 농도에서 곰팡이, 효모, 세균류에 전혀 항균활성을 보이지 않았다.
