Abstract

Methanol extracts of the aerial and rhizome parts obtained from ten species of ferns has been screened for antimicrobial activities against Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Listeria monocytogenes, Propionibacterium acnes, Streptococcus mutans and Streptococcus sobrinus. Antimicrobial activities were carried out using broth microdilution method and paper disc diffusion assay and the extracts which showed clear zones more than 15mm in concentration of 2 mg/disc were tested for its antimicrobial activities at the $0.125{\sim}2\;mg{\cdot}mL^{-1}$ concentration of each extract for three days. The non-sterilized crude methanol extracts of Osmunda cinnamomea var. fokiensis rhizome showed the highest antimicrobial activities on B. subtilis(39%), E. coli (33%) and L. monocytogenes(58%) at the concentration of $2\;mg{\cdot}mL^{-1}$ after 72 hours. In P. acnes, frond extract of O. cinnamomea var. fokiensis showed most vigorous antimicrobial activities in the all extracts but it showed weak activity(clear zone diameters below 15 mm). All extracts has the antimicrobial activities on Streptococcus, but they exhibited weak activity. At the concentration of $2\;mg{\cdot}mL^{-1}$, only Osmunda japonica rhizome extracts showed 28 and 39% of antimicrobial activities on S. mutans and S. sobrinus after 72 hours and the other extracts showed below 10% of antimicrobial activities on S. mutans and S. sobrinus.

10종 양치식물의 지상부와 지하부 메탄올 추출물을 대상으로 Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Listeria monocytogenes, Propionibacterium acnes, Streptococcus mutans, Streptococcus sobrinus 등 병원성 미생물에 대한 항균활성을 broth microdilution법과 paper diffusion법을 이용하여 분석하였다. 억제환이 15 mm 이상으로 나타난 추출물을 대상으로 0.125, 0.25, 0.5 1, $2\;mg{\cdot}mL^{-1}$의 농도에서 3일 동안 각 미생물의 생육 억제에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 그 결과, B. subtilis, E. coli, L. monocytogenes에 대해서는 꿩고비의 지하부 추출물에서 억제활성이 가장 우수하였으며, 살균처리하지 않은 조추출물 상태에서 $2\;mg{\cdot}mL^{-1}$의 농도에서 72시간 이후에도 각 39, 33, 58%의 억제활성을 보였다. P. acnes에 대해서는 꿩고비 지상부 추출물이 가장 우수한 항균활성을 보였으나, 15 mm 미만의 억제환을 보여 항균력이 약한 것으로 나타났다. S. mutans와 S. sobrinus에 대해서는 다수의 양치식물이 비교적 우수한 항균활성을 보여 양치식물의 추출물은 전반적으로 Streptococcus에 대한 감수성이 높은 것으로 생각되었다. 그러나 고비의 지하부 추출물이 $2\;mg{\cdot}mL^{-1}$의 농도에서 72시간 후 각 28, 39%, 그 외의 추출물은 10% 내외의 낮은 항균활성을 보여 10종의 양치식물 추출물 중에는 Streptococcus에 대하여 뛰어난 항균력을 보이는 추출물은 없는 것으로 생각되었다.
