Abstract

Entomopathogenic bacteria (Xenorhabdus nematophila, X. sp. and Photorhabdus temperata subsp. temperata) isolated from entomopathogenic nematodes express potent insecticidal activity in insect hemocoel. They are also known to suppress insect immune mediation by inhibiting phospholipase $A_2$, leading to host immunosuppression. This study analyzed effects of their cultured broths on inhibiting insect immunosuppression. For this, we removed all bacterial cells using $0.2\;{\mu}m$ pore sized membrane from the bacteria-cultured broth. All three sterilized cultured media, in dose-dependent manners, significantly inhibited hemocyte-spreading behavior of 5th instar larvae of Spodoptera exigua. However, they showed differential inhibitory activities among different bacterial species, in which X. nematophila showed the most potent inhibitory activity. This immunosuppressive effect was applied to increase the pathogenicity of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt). All three bacterial cultured broths including bacterial cells significantly potentiated Bt pathogenicity against young S. exigua larvae when each of them was orally administered in a mixture of low dose of Bt. Finally, we tested the effect of oral administration of the cultured media containing the immunosuppressive compound(s) secreted by the bacteria. The membrane-sterilized cultured broths were mixed with the low dose of Bt and then orally administered to the young S. exigua. Only the cultured medium of X. nematophila showed increase of Bt pathogenicity. These results indicated that the; cultured media of the three bacteria possessed immunosuppressive factor(s), which may act to potentiate Bt toxicity to young S. exigua larvae.

곤충병원선충으로부터 분리된 곤충병원세균들(Xenorhabdus nematophila, X. sp. and Photorhabdus temperata subsp. temperata)은 곤충혈강에서 높은 살충효과를 보유하고 있다. 이들 세균들은 또한 phospholipase $A_2$ 효소 작용을 억제하여 면역중개반응을 무력화하여 곤충기주의 면역억제를 유도하게 한다. 본 연구는 이들 세균이 성장된 배양액이 이러한 면역억제 활성을 보유하는 지를 분석하였다. 이를 위해 $0.2\;{\mu}m$ 공극 크기의 여과막을 이용하여 세균배양액으로부터 세균을 제거시켰다. 이렇게 멸균된 세균배양액은 배양액 농도에 따라 뚜렷하게 파밤나방(Spodoptera exigua) 5령충의 혈구세포 활착행동을 억제시켰다. 또한 이러한 억제효과는 세균별로 차등을 보였으며, 이 가운데 X. nematophila의 배양이 가장 높았다. 이 세균의 면역억제 활성 성질을 Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt)의 감염력 제고에 적용하였다. 세 세균 모두의 배양액(세균 포함)들은 낮은 농도의 Bt와 혼합하여 섭식 처리할 경우 어린 파밤나방 유충에 대해서 뚜렷하게 Bt 감염력을 제고시켰다. 다시 이 세균을 제거한 멸균된 배양액을 낮은 Bt농도 처리와 혼합하여 섭식 처리하였다. 이때 X. nematophila의 배양액만이 Bt의 감염력을 제고시켰다. 본 연구는 이들 세 곤충병원세균의 배양액에 곤충의 면역억제물질이 포함되었음을 보였으며, 이들 물질을 Bt와 혼용하였을 때 Bt의 살충력을 제고시킬 수 있음을 나타냈다.
