Abstract

A bacterial strain isolated from a Malva verticillata leaf was identified as Bacillus velezensis MV2 based on the 16S rRNA sequencing results. Complete genome sequencing revealed that B. velezensis MV2 possessed a single 4,191,702-bp contig with 45.57% GC content. Generally, Bacillus spp. are known to produce diverse antimicrobial compounds including bacteriocins, polyketides, and non-ribosomal peptides. Antimicrobial compounds in the B. velezensis MV2 were extracted from culture supernatants using hydrophobic interaction chromatography. The crude extracts showed antimicrobial activity against both gram-positive bacteria and gram-negative bacteria; however, they were more effective against gram-positive bacteria. The extracts also showed antifungal activity against phytopathogenic fungi such as Fusarium fujikuroi and F. graminearum. In time-kill assays, these antimicrobial compounds showed bactericidal activity against Bacillus cereus, used as indicator strain. To predict the type of antimicrobial compounds produced by this strain, we used the antiSMASH algorithm. Forty-seven secondary metabolites were predicted to be synthesized in MV2, and among them, fourteen were identified with a similarity of 80% or more with those previously identified. Based on the antimicrobial properties, the antimicrobial compounds may be nonribosomal peptides or polyketides. These compounds possess the potential to be used as biopesticides in the food and agricultural industry as an alternative to antibiotics.

본 연구에서는 국내 자생 식물인 아욱으로부터 새로운 균주를 분리 및 동정하였고 해당 미생물이 생산하는 항미생물질의 활성과 관련 생합성 유전자들을 확인하고자 하였다. 16S rRNA 유전자 서열 정보를 토대로 비교한 결과, 아욱에서 분리된 균주는 Bacillus velezensis이었으며 strain은 MV2라고 명명되었다. 유전체 염기서열 분석을 통해 전체 유전정보를 확인할 수 있었으며, 45.57% GC 함량을 가지는 4,191,702 bp 크기의 1개 컨티그(contig)가 존재하는 것으로 확인되었다. B. velezensis MV2가 정지기에 생산하는 물질 중 항균 활성이 확인된 소수성 물질 분획을 이용하여 항균 활성 스펙트럼 테스트를 진행한 결과, 그람음성균보다 그람양성균에서 더 높은 억제능이 확인되었다. 6종의 곰팡이를 이용한 항진균 활성 테스트에서는 모든 진균에 대해 강한 저해 활성을 보였으며, 특히 F. fujikuroi와 F. graminearum에 대한 항진균 활성이 매우 강하게 나타났다. 세균에 대한 항균물질의 작용 기작 분석을 통해 해당 항균물질은 균을 용해시키는 살균(bactericidal) 특성을 가진 것으로 추측할 수 있었다. B. velezensis MV2의 유전체 염기서열 정보를 통해 이차대사산물 생합성 유전자 cluster를 탐색한 결과 총 47가지 이차대사산물 생산이 예측되었으며, 기존에 밝혀져 있는 물질들과 유사도 80% 이상인 물질은 14개로 확인되었다. 앞서 확인된 내용들을 바탕으로 B. velezensis MV2에서 생성되는 항균물질은 비리보솜 펩타이드성 물질로 예상되며, 향후 항균물질의 동정과 활용 가능성에 대한 추가적인 연구가 필요할 것으로 생각되었다. 기존에 상업적으로 이용되었던 곰팡이에 대한 활성이 낮은 항균물질 생물제제들과 함께 복합기능성 미생물제로 활용하여 식품산업 및 농업에서의 이용 가능성이 있음을 보여주었다.
