콩나물 부패병 방제를 위해 토양으로부터 분리한 길항균 Pseudomonas fluorescens의 이용

Isolation and Utilization of Antagonistic Pseudomonas fluorescens from Soils for the Protection of Soybean Sprouts Rot

부패된 콩이나 콩나물에 존재하는 33종$(K-1{\sim}K-33)$의 각종 미생물로부터 콩나물 부패에 관여하는 세균(K-17)과 진균(K-28)을 각각 1종류씩 분리하였으며, 이들은 각각 Erwinia carotovora와 Fusarium sp.로 동정하였다. 콩나물 부패균에 길항하는 미생물은 각종 토양 균원시료로부터 분리한 350여종의 세균을 이용하여 콩나물 부패세균인 K-17 균주와 진균인 K-28 균주에 각각 길항력을 나타내는 J-232 세균을 최종 선발하였다. 길항균 J-232는 Pseudomonas fluorescens로 동정되었다. 콩나물 부패균 E. carotovora K-17과 Fusarium sp. K-28의 배양액으로 재배한 콩나물은 시루 아랫부분이 부패하였으나, 길항균 P. fluorescens J-232는 PDA 한천배지에서도 부패균들의 생육을 억제하였을 뿐만아니라 길항균 배양여액을 단독으로 콩나물재배에 처리할 경우에도 시루 내 콩나물은 부패되지 않았다. 콩나물 부패균 E. carotovora K-17과 Fusarium sp. K-28의 배양액에 길항균 P. fluorescens J-232의 배양액을 원액 또는 500배까지 희석하여 침지한 후 재배한 콩나물도 전혀 부패되지 않았으며 생육이 약간 촉진되는 경향이었다.

Thirty-three bacterial and fungal strains were isolated from the rotten soybeans and soybean sprouts to isolate pathogenic microorganisms which cause soybean sprouts rot during soybean sprouts cultivation. In pathogenicity tests of the isolates on soybean sprouts, two isolates(K-17 and K-28) caused soybean sprouts rot and were identified as Erwinia carotovora and Fusarium sp., respectively. To isolate antagonists aganist K-17 and K-28 pathogens, bacteria were isolated from various soybean-cultivated soils and screened by the inhibition zone method. A bacterial isolate(J-232) which inhibited growth of both pathogens was identified as Pseudomonas fluorescens and further examined. The culture filtrate of P. fluorescens J-232 (dilution rate of 500 times) inhibited the growth of Erwinia carotovora K-17 and Fusarium sp. K-28 both on potato dextrose agar medium and on soybean sprouts cultivated in vessel. The development of soybean sprouts rots was observed during cultivation by inoculation of soybean seeds with culture filtrate of both pathogens. The combined inoculation of soybean seeds with culture filtrate of antagonistic bacterium and that of pathogens prevented soybean sprouts rot, and the growth of soybean sprouts was similar to that of control. The soybean sprouts inoculated with antagonists culture filtrate alone did not develop soybean sprouts rot, and the growth of the seedlings was shown to be slightly promoted as compared with that of control.
