Abstract

Chlorinated aromatic compounds are one of the largest groups of environmental pollutants as a result of world-wide distribution by using them as herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, solvents, hydraulic and heat transfer fluids, plasticizers, and intermediates for chemical synthesis. Because of their toxicity, persistence, and bioaccumulation, the compounds contaminated ubiquitously in the biosphere has attracted public concerns in terms of serious influences to wild lives and a human being, such as carcinogenicity, mutagenicity, and disturbance in endocrine systems. The biological recalcitrance of the compounds is caused by the number, type, and position of the chlorine substituents as well as by their aromatic structures. In general, the carbon-halogen bonds increase the recalcitrance by increasing electronegativity of the substituent, so that the dechlorination of the compounds is focused as an important mechanism for biodegradation of chlorinated aromatics, along with the cleavage of aromatic rings. The removal of the chlorine substituents has been known as a key step for degradation of chlorinated aromatic compounds under aerobic condition. This can occur as an initial step via oxygenolytic, reductive, and hydrolytic mechanisms. The studies on the biochemistry and genetics about microbial dechlorination give us the potential informations for microbial degradation of xenobiotics contaminated in natural microcosms. Such investigations might provide biotechnological approaches to solve the environmental contamination, such as designing effective bioremediation systems using genetically engineered microorganisms.

난분해성 유기화합물의 일종인 염화 방향족화합물은 냉각제, 소화제, 페인트, 용매, 플라스틱류, 유압제, 제초제, 농약, 그리고 화학합성에 필요한 전구물질 등에 널리 사용된다. 이들은 친지질 특성을 가지므로 생물체의 세포막에 쉽게 흡착되며 먹이사슬에 의한 생물학적 농축과정을 통해 인간을 포함하는 각종 생물체에 축적된다. 그 결과 생물체의 세포막 구조가 변화되고 기능이 저해될 뿐더러 암과 돌연변이를 유발하고 $\ulcorner$환경호르몬$\lrcorner$으로서 생물체의 내분비계 기능을 교란하는 등 심각한 보건학적 그리고 환경생물학적 문제를 일으키고 있다. 염화 방향족화합물들은 벤젠고리 구조와 벤젠고리에 염소가 치환된 탄소-염소 결합을 공통적으로 가지고 있으며 벤젠고리에 치환된 염소의 수와 같은 수의 염소라도 붙어있는 위치에 따라 난분해 특징이 결정된다. 염화 방향족화합물들의 분해를 위해서는 미생물에 의한 벤젠 구조의 개환과정과 함께 벤젠 고리구조로부터 염소 치환기를 제거하는 탈염소화 과정이 반드시 일어나야만 한다. 호기적 환경에서 미생물에 의한 탈염소화는 분해 초기단계에서 dehalogenase라는 효소에 의해 촉매되는 oxygenolytic, reductive, 그리고 hydrolytic catalysis에 의해 일어나거나, 분해 대사과정 중에 저절로 염소치환기가 떨어져 나가는 경우도 있다. 탈염소화 과정을 거쳐 분해하는 미생물들을 이용한 염화 방향족 오염물질의 생물학적 분해방법은 이미 사용되고 있는 물리ㆍ화학적 방법보다 경제적이며 2차 오염의 부작용 없이 그 오염물질들을 매우 효과적으로 처리할 수 있다. 따라서 탈염소화 기작을 포함한 분해과정의 이해는 생물학적 분해의 기본적인 정보를 제공할 뿐더러 난분해성 환경 오염물질의 분해처리를 위하여 보다 집중적으로 연구해야 할 과제라고 할 것이다.
