Abstract

Six bacterial strains which formed large halo on chitosan-containing agar plate were isolated from beach mud and crabs at South coast of Korean peninsula. They were designated as Bacillus cereus KNUC51, B. cereus KNUC52, B. cereus KNUC53, B. cereus KNUC54, B. cereus KNUC55, and Paenibacillus favisporus KNUC56 by analysing their morphologies and 16S rDNA sequences. Chitosanase activities of all isolates were similar to that of B. subtilis 168. To enhance the activity of chitosanase, a powerful mutagen, MNNG was treated for P favisporus KNUC56. Three mutants showed higher activity of chitosanase than that of the original strain. The DNA fragments containing chitosanase gene from B. cereus sources were cloned, sequenced, and their deduced amino acid sequence analysis showed over 93% homologies with that of the known B. cereus ATCC14579. Extracellular sample from the isolates was incubated in proper reaction mixture including chitosan for 5 minutes at $37^{\circ}C$ to produce 3-10 chitosan oligomers which has been known to be active for clinical agents and agronomical agents.

Chitosanase분비 세균을 찾아내기 위해 남해안의 서로 다른 다섯 치역의 해안 갯벌과 게를 채취하였다. 시료를 키토산선별 배지에 도말하여 얻은 균주 중에 투명환을 형성하는 6종의 균주를 선택하여 분리하였다. 그들은 FE-SEM을 이용한 형태 관찰과 165 rDNA sequence analysis를 통해 Bacillus cereus KNUC51, B. cereus KNUC52, B. cereus KNUC53, B. cereus KNUC54, B. cereus KNUC55, Paenibacillus favisporus KNUC56 등으로 균주명이 정해졌다. Chitosnase 활성을 측정한 결과 기존에 알려진 B. subtilis 168과 유사한 활성을 나타내었다. 효소 활성을 높이기 위해 강력한 돌연변이 유발 물질인 MNNG를 사용하여 돌연변이주를 만든 결과 원균주와 비교해 효소활성이 높은 3개 균주를 선별할 수 있었다. B. cereus 5균주의 chitosnase를 지정하며 생산하는 csn유전자를 분리 정제하여 DNA염기서열을 결정하고 아미노산 서열을 예상하였다. 예상된 아미노산의 잔기는 453 잔기였고 B. cereus ATCC14579의 것과 93% 이상의 상동성을 나타내었다. 분리 균주의 배양 상등액을 키토산 중합체와 반응시킨 후 반응물로 박층크로 마토그래피를 실시한 결과 5분 이하로 반응을 시켰을 때 효능이 좋은 3-10개 사이의 잔기를 가진 키토산 올리고당을 만들 수 있다는 것을 볼 수 있었다.
