Abstract

Phytophthora capsici is one of major limiting factors in production of pepper and other important crops worldwide by causing foliage blight and rot on fruit and root. Increased demand for the replacement of fungicides has led to searching a promising strategy to control the fungal diseases. To meet eco-friendly agriculture practice, we isolated microorganisms and assessed their beneficial effects on plant health and disease control efficacy. A total of 360 bacterial strains were isolated from rhizosphere soil of healthy pepper plants, and categorized to 5 representative isolates based on colony morphology. Among the 5 bacterial strains (GJ-1, GJ-4, GJ-5, GJ-11, GJ-12), three bacterial strains (GJ-1, GJ-11, GJ-12) presented antifungal activity against P. capsici in an fungal inhibition assay. In phosphate solubilization and siderophore production, the strain GJ-1 was more effective than others. The strain GJ-1 was identified as Bacillus sp. using 16S rDNA analysis. Bacillus sp. GJ-1 was also found to be effective in inhibiting other plant pathogenic fungi, including Rhizoctonia solani, Pythium ultimum and Fusarium solani. Therefore, the Bacillus sp. GJ-1 can serve as a biological control agent against fungal plant pathogens.

Phytophthora capsici는 고추에 역병을 일으켜 우리나라뿐만 아니라 전 세계적으로 심각한 피해를 주는 대표적인 식물병원균이다. 최근 환경문제로 화학 농약을 대체하여 유용미생물을 이용한 생물학적 방제가 가장 바람직한 방제 방법으로 대두되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 고추역병에 피해를 보이지 않는 건전한 고추재배지 근권에서 토양시료를 채취하여 토양근권세균을 분리하였다. 총 360여점의 미생물 콜로니를 분리하였으며, 이들 콜로니의 색깔과 모양 등의 형태학적 특징을 기준으로 총 12개의 그룹으로 재분류하였다. 그 중 항균작용을 알아보기 위해 실시한 in vitro 실험에서 고추역병균에 길항효과를 보인 GJ-1, GJ-11, GJ-12 균주를 분리하였으며 길항효과가 없는 균주 2개(GJ-4, GJ-5)를 대조군으로 선발하였다. 선발된 5균주에 대하여 sidero-phore의 활성을 검정한 결과 GJ-1과 GJ-5 두 균주가 CAS 배지에서 orange halo zone을 크게 형성하여 siderophore를 많이 분비하는 균주로 확인되었다. 그리고 토양중의 난용성 인산염을 가용화시켜 식물의 생장촉진효과를 보이는 phosphate solubilization 활성을 검정한 결과 GJ-1, GJ-5, GJ-12 균주가 난용성 인산염에 대한 분해능력을 나타내었다. 따라서 P. capsici에 강한 항균활성을 나타내며 siderophore를 생산하고 인산가용화 능력이 뛰어난 유용미생물 GJ-1을 최종적으로 선발하였다. 최종 선발된 GJ-1균주를 동정하여 Bacillus sp.로 명명하였다. Bacillus sp. GJ-1의 길항작용은 Rhizoctonia solani, Pythium ultimum, Fusarium solani에 대한 식물병원성 진균에서도 좋은 효과를 나타내었다. 따라서 Bacillus sp. GJ-1은 생물학적 방제제로 고추역병균을 포함하여 다른 토양 식물병원성 진균 방제에 이용 가치가 있을 것으로 판단된다.
