Abstract

The antifungal activity of polygodial, which was isolated from Polygonum hydropiper used as a hot spice in Japan, was investigated through measuring its MICs and against food-contaminants including 4 strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, 3 strains of Zygosaccharomyces species, and 5 strains of Aspergillus species. All yeast-like fungi exhibited strong antifungal susceptivilities with MICs and MFCs below 3.13${\mu}g$/ml. Strains of Aspergillu species showed moderate with MIC of 25-50${\mu}g$/ml and MFC of 50-100${\mu}g$/ml. However these strains to sorbic acid, as already known, revealed very weak with MICs of 200-800${\mu}g$/ml and MFCs above 1600${\mu}g$/ml. In addition, effects of various pHs and temperatures on the antifungal activity of polygodial were tested against S. cerevisiae. At $4^{\circ}C$, the fungicidal activity of polygodial gradually increased with incubation time and reached the maximum(MFC of 3. 13${\mu}g$/ml) in 5 hours. At temperatures in the range of 30-$45^{\circ}C$, the activity of polygodial increased in proportion to temperature rise and in particular at $45^{\circ}C$ was possible with the concentration of 0.1${\mu}g$/ml. mOn the other hand, medium pH was also identified to affect the antifungal activity of polygodial. Namely, compared to neutral (pH7), acidic(pH 3) and basic(pH 9) medium synergized its activity (MIC and MFC) to 8- and 2- fold, respectively.

식품양념으로 사용되고 있는 Polygonum hydropiper로부터 분리된 polygodial의 향진균 활성은 Saccharomyces cerevisiae 4균주, Zygosaccharomyces 속의 3균주, 그리고 Aspergillus 속의 5균주를 포함하는 식품 오염균들에 대해 그 MIC와 MFC들을 측정하여 조사되었다. 모든 효모성 진균들은 $3.13{\mu}g$/ml이하의 MIC와 MFC를 갖는 강한 항진균감수성을 나타내었다. 또한 polygodial의 항진균활성에 대한 다양한 온도와 pH들의 효과가 S.cerevisiae를 대상으로 조사되었다. $4^{\circ}C$에서, polygodial의 살균활성(MFC)은 배양 시간과 함께 점진적으로 증가하여 5기간만에 최고($3.13{\mu}g$/ml의 MFC)에 도달하였다. 30-$45^{\circ}C$의 온도 범위에서, polygodial의 살균활성은 온도 상승에 비례적으로 증가하였으며 특히 $45^{\circ}C$에서는 $0.1{\mu}g$/ml의 농도에서도 가능하였다. 한편 배지 pH는 또한 polygodial의 항진균 활성에 큰 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 즉, 중성에 비해 산성(pH 3) 및 염기성(pH 9) 배지는 polygodial의 항진균(정균 및 살균)활성을 각각 8배, 2배 상승시켰다.
