Phytophthora blight is a devastating disease of pepper and occurs almost anywhere peppers are grown. Phytophthora blight is caused by Phytophthora capsici and this pathogen can infect every part of the plant by moving inoculum in the soil, by infecting water on surface, by aerial dispersal to sporulating lesions. Management of Phytophthora blight currently relies on cultural practices, crop rotation, and use of selective fungicides. Since these treatments are a short-term management, a classical breeding for development of resistant pepper against the Phytophthora is an alternative. So far some of the resistant cultivars have been on the market, but those are limited regionally and commercially. Therefore, ultimately an elite line resistant against this disease should be developed, if possible, by biotechnology. We have set out a series of work recently in order to develop Phytophthora resistant pepper cultivar. For the first time, the cDNA microarray analysis was peformed using an EST chip that holds around 5000 pepper EST clones to identify genes responsive to Phytophthora infection. Total RNA samples were obtained from Capsicum annuum PI201234 after inoculating P. capsici to roots and soil and exposed to the chip. .Around 900 EST clones were up-regulated and down-regulated depending on the two RNA sample tissues, leaf and root. From those, we have found 55 transcription factors that may be involved in gene regulation of the disease defense mechanism. Further and in detail information will be provided in the poster.

우리 지역 토양환경에 도착해 살고 있는 토착 길항미생물을 분리, 선발, 육종하여 다시 지역모양으로 돌렸을 때 우점 능력이 크고 적응력이 큰 토착 생물방제균을 선발하고자 경북 경주지역에서 자연농법을 수행하고 있는 저병해경작지로부터 토착 길항미생물을 분리하였다. 이들 중 고추역병균 Phytophthora capsici의 생육을 강력히 길항하는 항생물질과 siderophore를 동시에 생산하는 복수 길항기작의 토착 길항세균 Pseudomonas fluorescens 2112를 선발하였고, 이 균주로부터 우선 항진균성 항생물질을 생산, 정제한 후 그 특성을 조사하였다. 이 항생물질은 산성 pH 조건에서는 매우 안정하였으나 알칼리성 용액에서는 불안정한 물질로 판단되었고, 또한 열에 비교적 안정하여 $80^{\circ}C$까지 30분동안 열처리하여도 항균활성을 50% 정도 유지하였다. P. fluorescens 2112로부터 이 균주의 중요 생물방제 기작인 항진균 항생물질을 단일물질 수준으로 분리하여 그 구조를 분석해 본 결과 선발된 균주가 생산하는 항생물질은 다른 Pseudomonas sp. 에서도 생산되는 것으로 알려진 2,4-diacetylphloroglucinol로 동정이 되었다. 고추역병균 P. capsici의 생육을 억제하는 토착 길항세균 P.fluorescens 2112가 생산하는 항진균 항생물질의 항균범위를 조사해 본 결과 다양한 식물병원성 진균에 방제력을 가지는 광범위 항생물질임을 확인 할 수 있었지만, Fusarium 속에 대해서는 큰 활성을 볼 수 있었다. 이 항진균 항생물질을 이용해 저해기작을 고추역병균 P. capsici의 포자를 대상으로 radioisotope labelling precursor [$^{3}$ H] Leucine, [$^{14}$ H] Glucose, [$^{3}$ H] Adenine 등으로 조사한 결과, 그 길항기작이 RNA 합성 저해로 추정되었다.

고추 역병을 야기하는 Phytophthora capsici 는 짧은 시간 내에 많은 면적에 피해를 주는 병으로 한번 발생하면 방제가 어려운 병으로 알려져 있다. 이러한 역병 곰팡이의 방제를 위하여 본 연구에서는 P. capsici의 염색체 복제 및 세포 골격 유지 등에 관여하는 단백질인 microtubule의 형성 저해를 유도하는 물질을 탐색하여 궁극적으로 고추역병 방제를 위한 연구를 진행하였다. 먼저 P. capsici alpha 및 beta tubulin을 E. coli BL21(DE3)에서 발현시켜 분리 정제하여 in vitro microtubule 형성을 확인하였다. P. capsici microtubule 형성 저해 metagenome clone 스크리닝을 위하여 경기도 수원의 여기산 토양에서 metagenome을 분리하여 library를 제작하여 Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) 방법을 이용하여 P. capsici microtubule 형성을 저해하는 화합물을 탐색하였다. In vitro 스크리닝에서 약 384개의 metagenome library에서 2종의 clone을 선택하여 고추작물에 직접 방제하여 역병균의 생장 억제를 확인하였다. 이는 차후 고추역병 방제제 개발에 있어 중요한 후보물질뿐만 아니라 metagenome library를 이용한 새로운 방법의 개발이라 사료 된다. 또한 in vitro 스크리닝에서 얻어진 2종의 metagenome clone의 염기서열을 분석하여 항역병 활성에 관련하는 DNA 서열을 확보하고 이를 응용하여 물질을 생산 할 경우, 현장에서 활용 할 수 있는 효과 큰 친환경 천연고추역병 방제제로서의 개발 가능성을 가진다는 점에서 본 연구결과는 매우 의미 있는 결과라 생각된다.

In our previous studies, we selected three antagonistic bacteria, KJ1R5, KJ2C12, and KJ9C8 against Phytophthora capsici, the casual agent of Phytophthora blight of pepper. For elucidating production, root colonization, and total microbial activity were investigated. The dual culture assay was accomplished to elucidate existence of antibiotics. In this assay, any antagonistic bacteria did not inhibit growth of six important fungal plant pathogens, suggesting that these antagonists do not produce antibiotics. root surface or rhizosphere soil colonizations were examined with spontaneous rifampicin-resistant mutants equal to antagonistic ability of wild types. KJ2C12 colonized consistently rhizosphere soil while yellowish colonies of KJ1R5 and KJ9C8 well colonized root surfaces and rhizosphere soil. Total microbial activity in pots treated with the antagonistic bacteria was measured using fluorescein diacetate hydrolysis. total microbial activity of three antagonistic bacteria treatments was significantly higher than that of buffer-treated control until 4days after treatment. However, total microbial activity of treatment of three antagonistic bacteria decreased after 7 days. These results indicate that the antagonistic bacteria, KJ1R5 and KJ9C8 colonized and protected roots well against Phytophthora blight of pepper through competition of infection courts, especially competitions.

Biological control of important fungal diseases such as Phytophthora blight of red pepper, gary mold rot of vegetables, and powdery mildew of many crops was attempted using an antagonistic bacterium, Bacillus sp. AC-1 in greenhouses and fields. The antagonistic bacterium isolated from the rhizosphere soils of healthy red pepper plant was very effective in the inhibition of mycelial growth of plant pathogenic fungi in vitro including Phytophthora capsici, Rhizoctonia solani, Pyricularia oryzae, Botrytis cinerea, Valsa mali, Fusarium oxysporum, Pythium ultimum, Alternari mali, Helminthosporium oryzae, and Colletotrichum gloeosporioides. Culture filtrate of antagonistic Bacillus sp. AC-1 applied to pot soils infested with Phytophthora capsici suppressed the disease occurrence better than metalaxyl application did until 37 days after treatment in greenhouse tests. Treatments of the bacterial suspension on red pepper plants also reduced the incidence of Phytophthora blight in greenhouse tests. In farmers' commercial production fields, however, the controlling efficacy of the antagonistic bacteria was variable depending on field locations. Gray mold rot of chinese chives and lettuce caused by Botrytis cinerea was also controlled effectively in field tests by the application of Bacillus sp. AC-1 with control values of 79.7% and 72.8%, respectively. Spraying of the bacterial suspension inhibited development of powdery mildew of many crops such as cucumber, tobacco, melon, and rose effectively in greenhouse and field tests. The control efficacy of the bacterial suspension was almost same as that of Fenarimol used as a chemical standard. Further experiments for developing a commercial product from the antagonistic bacteria and for elucidating antagonistic mechanism against plant pathogenic fungi are in progress.

A bacterium, Pseudomonas fluorescens 2112, that is antagonistic against a red-pepper blight-causing fungus, Phytophthora capsici, was isolated from the local soil of Gyongju, Korea. This strain formed an orange-colored clear halo zone on chrome azurol S (CAS) blue agar, suggesting the production of a siderophore in addition to an antifungal antibiotic. The optimal culture conditions for siderophore production by P. fluorescens 2112 were 30-h cultivation at $25^{\circ}C$ and pH 6.5 in King's B medium. The presence of $20{\mu}g/ml\;of\;Fe^3+$ ion or EDDHA promoted the production of siderophore in King's B medium. The siderophore was purified from culture broth by CM-Sephadex C-25 and Sephadex G-25 column chromatographies. The UV spectra of the purified siderophore was the same as that of pyoverdins or pseudobactins. The molecular mass was 1,958 Da determined by FAB-rlass spectrometer, and the amino acid composition analysis showed that the purified siderophore consisted of glycine/threonine/serine/glutamic acid/alanine/lysine with the molar ratio of 3:2:1:1:1:1, DL-Threo-${\beta}$-hydroxyaspartic acid and $N^{\delta}$-hydroxyornithine, two of the essential constituents of pyoverdin, were also found. The purified siderophore pyoverdin showed strong in vitro and in vivo antagonistic activities against phytophthora blight-causing P. capsici. Especially in an in vivo pot test, the siderophore protected red-pepper Capsicum annum L. very well from the attack of P. capsici. These results indicated that the purified siderophore of P. fluorescens 2112 played a critical role in the biocontrol of the red-pepper blight disease, equivalent to treatment by P.fluorescens 2112 cells.

분자 홀로그램(H) QSAR 방법으로 일련의 새로운 2-alkoxyphenyl-3-phenylthioisoindoline-1-one 유도체들의 구조 변화에 따른 저항성(RPC) 및 감수성(SPC) 고추역병균주(Phytopthora capsici)에 대한 살균활성 관계를 연구하였다. 두 균주에 대한 살균활성에 관한 HQSAR 모델(RPC: RI-B 및 SPC: SII-A)들은 예측성($r^2_{cv.}$ 또는 $q^2=0.806{\sim}0.865$)과 상관성($r^2_{ncv.}=0.921{\sim}0.952$)에 근거하여 매우 높은 통계값들을 나타내었다. 이에 근거하여 HQSAR 모델들은 RPC 보다는 SPC에 대하여 양호한 살균활성을 나타내는 경향을(SPC> RPC) 보였다. 특히, atomic contribution map으로부터 RPC 균주의 선택적인 살균활성은 2-fluoro-4-chloro-5-alkoxyanilino 기에 의존적임을 확인하였다.

Lysobacter antibioticus HS124 isolated from pepper rhizosphere soil produced catechol type siderophore. Purified siderophore by Diaion HP-20 and silica gel column chromatography showed several hydroxyl functional groups adjacent to benzene rings by analysis of $^1H$ NMR spectroscopy. The strain HS124 showed different activities to suppress Phytophthora capsici with different concentrations of exogenous Fe (III) in minimal medium where antifungal activity with $100{\mu}M$ Fe (III) was approximately 1.5 times higher than in absence of Fe (III). Bacterial population in this Fe (III)-amended medium was also highest with $8.9{\times}10^8\;CFU\;ml^{-1}$ which also corresponded to the strongest siderophore activity. When grown in rich medium (minimal medium with N, $P_2O_5K_2O$ and glucose), HS124 exhibited approximately 2 times stronger antifungal activity compared to minimal medium. In pot trials, treatments of bacterial culture grown in rich medium with (C1) or without (C2) $100{\mu}M$ Fe (III) exhibited a high protection of pepper plants from disease, compared to medium only with (M1) or without (M2) $100{\mu}M$ Fe (III). Especially, treatment C1 showed the best disease control effect of about 70 %. Thus, the strain HS124 should be recommended as a potential biocontrol agent against P. capsici in pepper.

In this study, we characterized the bacterial strain KJ2C12 in relation with its biocontrol activity against Phytophthora capsici on pepper, and identified this strain using morphological, physiological, biochemical, fatty acid methyl ester, and 16S rRNA gene sequence analyses. Strain KJ2C12 significantly (P=0.05) reduced both final disease severity and areas under the disease progress curves of 5-week-old pepper plants inoculated with P. capsici compared to buffer-treated controls. As for the production of antibiotics, biofilms, biosurfactant, extracellular enzyme, HCN, and swarming activity, strain KJ2C12 produced an extracellular enzyme with protease activity, but no other productions or swarming activity. However, Escherichia coli produced weak biofilm only. Strain KJ2C12 could colonize pepper roots more effectively in a gnotobiotic system using sterile quartz sand compared to E. coli over 4 weeks after treatments. However, no bacterial populations were detected in 10 mM $MgSO_4$ buffer-treated controls. Strain KJ2C12 produced significantly higher microbial activity than the $MgSO_4$-treated control or E. coli over 4 weeks after treatments. Bacterial strain KJ2C12 was identified as Bacillus luciferensis based on morphological, physiological, and biochemical characteristics as well as FAME and 16S rRNA gene sequence analyses. In addition, these results suggested that B. luciferensis strain KJ2C12 could reduce Phytophthora blight of pepper by protecting infection courts through enhanced effective root colonization with protease production and an increase of soil microbial activity.
