Abstract

Experiments for growth inhibition of two different plant pathogenic fungal species, Alternaria alternata (KCTC26781) and Fusarium graminearum ZO3639 (type culture) and ASR1R1 (isolate from rice), by a chitinase (Chi2) expressed in the autolysing tissue of Coprinellus congregatus were carried out. In liquid media, Chi2 ($50{\mu}g/ml$) inhibited more than 90% of germination of A. alternata spore, and the growth of each fungal strain was totally inhibited by the addition of Chi2 at the concentrations of $70{\mu}g/ml$. When $6{\mu}g$ of Chi2 was added twice a day at the hyphal tip zone, both strains of F. graminearum showed growth inhibition as well as decreased hyphal branching.

먹물버섯 C. congregatus의 자가분해되는 자실체 조직에서 발현되는 chitinase (Chi2)가 식물병원성 균류인 A. alternata와 F. graminearum를 대상으로 고체배지와 액체배지에서 포자의 발아 및 균사 생장에 대하여 보이는 억제효과 실험을 수행하였다. 액체배지에서 $50{\mu}g/ml$의 Chi2 농도에서 A. alternata의 포자 발아가 90% 이상 억제되었고, $70{\mu}g/ml$의 농도에서 실험균류 모두 생장이 억제되었다. 고체배지에서 하루에 $6{\mu}g$씩 2회 더한 Chi2에 의하여 F. graminearum 균사 생장이 억제됨을 확인하였고, 이때 균사의 branching이 상대적으로 감소하였다.
