Abstract
An Antiviral producing bacterial strain was isolated from ginseng root environment in Hongcheon, Kangwon province of Republic of Korea. Identification of this bacterial strain was performed by physiological and biochemical tests along with 16S rRNA analyses. The results revealed that the bacterium was closer to genus Serratia, which was named as Gsm01. The strain was grown in Mannitol-Glutamate-Yeast (MGY) broth for 48 h. The culture was centrifuged and the filtrate obtained was tested for its ability to control Cucumber mosaic virus strain Y (CMV-Y) in greenhouse and field experiments. In the green house experiments, CF was evaluated for its ability to protect local host, Chenopodium amaranticolor and systemic host of CMV, Nicotiana tabacum cv. Xanthi-nc. It was found that, CF treatment reduced viral infection by 98% in local host; C. amaranticolor. The N. tabacum cv. Xanthi-nc plants treated with CF did not show visible viral symptoms 15 days post inoculation (dpi) and remained symptomless throughout the periods of the study. To evaluate effectiveness of CF under field conditions, experiment was carried out in a polyvinyl house. It was observed that, 52% plants were protected from viral diseases compared to non-treated plants, increasing the crop yield. This is the first report showing antiviral activity of a Serratia spp. against CMV.
항바이러스 효과를 나타내는 세균은 강원도 홍천 인삼재배지의 수삼으로부터 분리하였다. 분리세균은 생리 생화학 테스트와 16s rRNA 유전자 분석을 통해 동정한 결과, Serratia 속으로 동정 되어져 본 세균을 Gsm01으로 명명하였다. Gsm01 균주를 MGY 액체배지에 증식시켜 배양 여액을 0.45 ${\mu}m$ filter에 통과시킨 Culture filtrate (CF)를 명아주 (Chenopodium amaranticolor)에 반엽법으로 처리한 결과, 오이모자이크 바이러스 (CMV)에 대한 억제율이 98%로 매우 높은 것을 확인하였다. 또한 전신유도저항성을 확인하기 위하여 담배 (Nicotiana tabacum cv. Xanthi-nc)의 하엽에 CF와 CMV-Y를 처리하였을 때, CF를 처리한 식물에서 접종15일 후까지 바이러스 증상이 관찰되지 않았다. 고추의 포장시험에서 무처리 식물과 비교해 보았을 때 바이러스 증상은 52.9% 감소한 것으로 보아 포장 시험에서 CF를 처리한 농작물의 산출량이 무처리 식물에 비해 14% 증가함을 확인 할 수 있었다. 한편, Gsm01 균주의 CF는 고추에 어떠한 약해도 나타내지 않아 매우 안전한 것으로 판단되었다.
