Abstract

Lichens are symbiotic organisms composed of fungi, algae, or cyanobacteria which are able to survive in extreme environmental conditions ranging from deserts to polar areas. Some lichen symbionts produce a wide range of secondary metabolites that have many biological activities such as antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, antitumor, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory etc. Among the symbionts of lichens, of the bacterial communities of lichen symbionts little is known. In this study, we isolated 4 microbial species from the Arctic lichen Stereocaulon spp. and evaluated their antioxidant properties using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl assay as well as 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethyl benzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) assay. Total phenolic contents and total flavonoid contents were also measured. A potent radical scavenging activity was detected in a number of the lichen extracts. Among the 4 species tested in this study, the ethyl acetate extract of Bosea vestrisii 36546(T) exhibited the strongest free radical scavenging activity, with an inhibition rate of 86.8% in DPPH and 75.2% in ABTS assays. Overall, these results suggest that lichen-bacteria could be a potential source of natural antioxidants.

지의류는 사막에서 북극지방까지 이르는 극한 환경에서도 생존 가능한 곰팡이, 조류 또는 시아노박테리아 등으로 구성된 공생체이다. 몇몇 지의류 공생체들은 항균, 항곰팡이, 항바이러스, 항암, 항산화 및 항염증 등과 같은 많은 생물학적 활성을 지닌 넓은 범위의 이차대사물질을 생산한다. 지의류와 공생 관계인 박테리아에 관하여는 아주 일부 알려져 있다. 최근 본 연구팀은 북극 지의류 Stereocaulon spp로부터 4종류의 미생물을 분리하였으며, DPPH와 ABTS 측정법을 이용하여 그들의 항산화능을 조사하였다. 또한 총 폴리페놀 함량과 총 플라보노이드 함량 분석 등도 측정되었다. 강력한 라디컬 소거능은 지의류 추출물을 이용하여 수행하였다. 본 연구에서 조사된 4종류 중, Bosea vestrisii 36546(T)의 에틸아세테이트 추출액은 DPPH 분석에서 86.8% 그리고 ABTS 분석에서 75.2%에 달하는 억제력과 함께 가장 강력한 자유 라디컬 소거능을 보여주었다. 따라서 이러한 결과들로부터 지의류 유래 박테리아 종들이 천연 항산화제로서 잠재적인 소재가 될 수 있다는 것을 제안한다.
