Abstract

The genetic monitoring method was developed for the rapid detection of the PGPR and biocontrol agent, B. subtilis AH18 in red-pepper field soil by multiplex PCR using sid, aec and cel gene primers. The monitoring of B. subtilis AH18 in the soil was carried by amplified a 2,3-dihydro-2,3-dihydroxy benzoate dehydrogenase [EC: 1. 3. 1. 28]gene (sid - 794 bp : EF408238) which is a key enzyme of siderophore synthesis, an auxin efflux carrier gene (aec - 1,052 bp : EF408239) and a cellulase gene (cel - 1,582 bp : EF070194). The natural un sterilized soil was inoculated with B. subtilis AH18 to determine the sensitivity ($1.8\times10^5$ cfu/g) of multiplex PCR for the rapid dectection and then the strain was monitored successfully in rhizosphere or non-rhizosphere soil of red-pepper cultural soil. At 3 weeks after the treatment, density of the strain was monitored more abundantly in rhizosphere soil.

식물성장촉진물질인 auxin을 비롯한 식물병원성진균을 방제하는 siderophore 그리고 식물병원성 진균의 세포벽을 분해하는 cellulase를 동시에 생산하는 생물방제균주 B. subtilis AH18의 토양내 monitoring을 위하여 각 생산물질에 관여하는 유전자를 기초로 primer(sid, aec, cel)를 제작하였다. Single PCR 및 multiplex PCR을 수행하여 800-bp(sid), 1000-bp(air), 1600-bp(cel)의 DNA fragment를 확인하였으며, 각각의 fragment는 siderophore의 생합성 key enzyme인 2,3-dihydro-2,3-dihydroxy benzoate dehydrogenase[EC : 1. 3. 1, 28]gene (sid-794bp)이며, auxin efflux carrier gene (aec - 1052 bp), 그리고 cellulase gene(cel - 1582 bp)임을 확인하고, NCBI Genbank에 등록하였다(Genbank accession sid: No. EF408238, aec: No. EF408239, cel: No. EF070194). 또한 B. subtilis AH18을 처리한 일반 경작지 토양에서 multiplex PCR을 통하여 3종의 유전자에서 증폭된 triple band를 확인하였으며, 고추를 실제 토양을 이용해 Pot에 이식 후 고추의 rhizosphere와 non-rhizosphere에서 B. subtilis AH18의 존재를 확인할 수 있다. 뿐만아니라 본 균주를 고추가 이식된 Pot의 토양에 처리 후 monitoring시 민감도는 $1.8\times10^5$ cfu/g이었고, monitoring 가능한 기간은 3주이상 확인 할 수 있었다.
