Abstract

In order to investigate the ecological aspect of bacteria on groundwater, water samples were collected from various regions. Total of 318 strains were isolated from diluted nutrient broth (DNB) agar medium, and investigated their growth pattern on nutrient broth (NB) medium. As a result, all the isolated strains were divided into two groups, NB and DNB organisms. Growth of DNB organisms were suppressed in full strength NB medium but not in DNB medium, which were called oligotrophic bacteria in this study. Proportion of DNB organisms occurred in the frequency of 50-98% in potable groundwaters (CW, CJ, DPG, CJG1), however, it was 23,46% in polluted site (TJ, NPG1). One hundred and two strains were identified as oligotrophic bacteria and their phylogenetic characteristics were determined by using 16S rDNA sequencing. Based on the phylogenetic analysis, they were found to fall into three major phylogenetic groups: belonging to the Proteobacteria $\alpha$-(49 strains), $\beta$-(50 strains), $\gamma$ -(3 strains) subdivisions. The phylogenetic analysis suggested that microbial diversity of potable groundwater is more complex than that obtained in the past investigation.

다양한 농도의 영양배지(nutrient broth, NB; diluted nutrient broth, DNB)를 이용하여 음용 지하수중의 세균수를 계수한 결과, 통상농도의 NB배지에 비해 저영양배지인 DNB배지에서 2~50배 이상 높은 계수치를 나타내었다. 이와 같은 결과로부터 지하수중에는 NB배지에서는 중식이 현저히 저해되고 DNB배지에서만 중식이 가능한 저영양세균(oligotrophic bacteria)이 다수 분포하고 있음이라 판단되어 DNB배지로부터 184균주의 저영양세균을 분리하였다. 본 연구에서는 시판 음용수(CW, CJ )와 광천수(DPG, CJG1)에서 분리된 저영양세균 102 균주의 165 rDNA 염기서열을 결정하여 계통분류학적 특성을 검토한 결과 세 개의 주요한 계통군: Proteobacteria $\alpha$-subdivision (49 균주), $\beta$-subdivision (50 균주), $\gamma$-subdivision (3 균주)으로 분류되었다. Proteobacteria $\alpha$-subdivision에는 Afipia, Blastobacter, Bradyrhizobium, Caulobacter, Phenylobacterium, Rhizobioum, Sphingomonas가 포함되었으며, $\beta$-subdivision에는 Acidovorax, Azonexus, Ferribacterium, Janthinobacterium, Leptothrix, Polaromonas, Variovorax가 포함되었고, $\gamma$-subdivision에는 Rhodanobacter 등 다양한 계통군이 확인되었다.
