  • For the development of the alternative control system against the major forest pests, Beauveria spp. F-101, isolated from a dead larva of Thecodiplosis japonensis, was selected because this isolate showed high pathogenicities against T. japonensis and Acantholyda parki. Beauveria spp. F-101 had irregular clustered conidio-phores and conidia borne on a distinctive apical zigzag extension, and it showed typical characteristic of the genus, Beauveria in morphology. For molecular based-identification, the ribosomal ITS region of Beauveria spp. F-101 was amplified with ITS1 and ITS4 primers, and cloned into pGEM- T Easy vector. The amplified PCR product was 569 bp in size and completely sequenced. The similarities of the cloned ITS sequence were 99 % and 97% to those of B. bassiana and B. brongniartii, respectively. In comparison to other species among the genus Beauveria, the ITS region of Beauveria spp. F-101 showed a similarity of 95% to B. amorpha, 95% to B. tenella, 89% to B. vermiconia and 69% to B. alba, respectively. In addition, in comparison to different genus, it had 95% similarities to Cordyceps militaris and 91% to Paecilomyces tenuipes. Accordingly, the current result suggests that Beauveria spp. F-101 was a variant of B. bassiana and it seems to be a new isolate considering sequence variation in ITS region.

  • We cloned the $\beta$-tubulin genes from the wild type strain and two benomyl-resistant mutants of Metahizium anisopliae and determined their nucleotide sequences. A $\beta$-tubulin encoding 448-residue protein from wild type M. anisopliae shows strong homology to other $\beta$-tubulins. The coding region is interrupted by four introns. Comparisons of intron position between the M. anisopliae gene and other fungal $\beta$-tubulin genes show considerable positional conservation. The mutations responsible for benomyl resistance were determined in two spontaneous mutants, 8-18 and 8­19. One mutant 8-18 substituted glutamate for aspar­agine at position 33 and lysine for glutamine at position 134. The other mutant 8-19 showed alterations at three positions of $\beta$-tubulin arginine for tryptophan at position 21, lysine for asparagine at position 33, and phenylalanine for leucine at position 240. These data suggest that regions of $\beta$-tubulin containing amino acids 21, 33,134, and 240 interact to form the binding site of benomyl.

  • Beauveria bassiana infects a number of pest species and is known to produce insecticidal substances, such as the nonribosomal peptides (NRPs) beauvericin and bassianolide. However, most NRPs and their biological roles in B. bassiana remain undiscovered. To identify NRPs that potentially contribute to pathogenesis, the 21 predicted NRP synthetases (NRPSs) or NRPS-like proteins of B. bassiana ARSEF 2860 were primarily ranked into three functional groups: basic metabolism (7 NRPSs), pathogenicity (12 NRPSs), and unknown function (2 NRPSs). Based on the transcript levels during in vivo growth on diamondback moth (Plutella xylostella (Linnaeus)), half of the Group II NRPSs were likely to be involved in infection. Given that the metabolites biosynthesized by these NRPSs remain to be determined, our result underlines the importance of the NRPSome in fungal pathogenesis, and will serve as a guide for future genomic mining projects to discover functionally essential and structurally diverse NRPs in fungal genomes.

  • 작물 병해충에 대한 무공해 미생물 농약 개발의 일환으로 곤충 병원성 곰팡이 Metarhizium anisopliae의 분자생물학적 육종을 위해 이 균주의 형질전환계를 확립하였다. M. anisopliae의 원형질체를 제작하여 benomyl 약제에 대하여 저항성을 나타내는 Aspergillus flavus 유래의 ${\beta}-tubulin$ 유전자를 갖는 pBRG-4 plasmid DNA를 polyethylene glycol 방법으로 형질 전환하였다. 이 형질전환은 pBRG-4 DNA $50\;{\mu}g$당 10개의 효율로 이루어졌으며, 그 결과 야생형 균주들의 $2.5\;{\mu}g/ml$ 농도의 benomyl 존재 하에서도 성장이 억제되는데 반하여 선발된 형질전환체들은 $5.0\;{\mu}g/ml$ 농도의 benomyl 함유 배지에서도 잘 성장하였다. 또한 이 형질전환체들의 chromosomal DNA를 분리하여 Southern 분석한 결과 ${\beta}-tubulin$ 유전자가 homologous recombination에 의하여 M. anisopliae의 genome속에 삽입 되었음을 확인하였다.

  • Cordyceps militaris, an entomopathogenic fungus belonging to the class Ascomycetes, has been reported to have beneficial biological activities such as hypoglycemic, anti-inflammatory, antitumor, antimetastatic, hypolipidemic, immunomodulatory, and antioxidant effects. In this study, the crude water-soluble polysaccharide CMP, which was obtained from the fruiting body of C. militaris by hot water extraction and ethanol precipitation, was fractionated by DEAE-cellulose and Sepharose CL-6B column chromatographies. This process resulted in three polysaccharide fractions, termed CMP Fr I, CMP Fr II, and CMP Fr III. Of these fractions, CMP Fr II, with an average molecular mass of 127 kDa, was able to upregulate effectively the phenotypic functions of macrophages such as NO production and cytokine expression. The chemical property of the stimulatory polysaccharide, CMP Fr II, was determined based on its monosaccharide composition, which consisted of glucose (56.4%), galactose (26.4%), and mannose (17.2%). Its structural characteristics were investigated by a combination of chemical and instrumental analyses, including methylation, reductive cleavage, acetylation, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GCMS). Results indicated that CMP Fr II consisted of the (1${\rightarrow}$4) or (1${\rightarrow}$2) linked glucopyranosyl or galactopyranosyl residue with a (1${\rightarrow}$2) or (1${\rightarrow}$6) linked mannopyranosyl, glucopyranosyl, or galactopyranosyl residue as a side chain. The configuration of the ${\beta}$-linkage and random coil conformation of CMP Fr II were confirmed using a Fungi-Fluor kit and Congo red reagent, respectively.

  • 동충하초 Paecilomyces tenuipes C240의 균사체 배양과정에서 균사체 성장, 세포외 다당체 생산, 기질감소 속도를 표현할 수 있는 동력학적 모델을 제시하였다. 균사체 성장은 Logistic식을, 세포외 다당체 생산은 Luedeking-Piret 식을, 기질소모는 Luedeking-Piret 유사식을 각각 적용함으로써, 전체 균사체 배양과정을 예측할 수 있었다. 모델식에서 사용된 주요 kineti, constant들은 다음과 같다: 균사체의 최대 비성장속도${\mu}m,\;0.7281\;h^{-1};$; 다당체 생산에서의 growth-associated constant $(\alpha),\;0.1743g(g\;cells)^{-1}$; non-growth-associated constant $(\beta),\;0.0019g(g\;cells)^{-1}\;;$ maintenance coefficient ($(m_s),\;0.0572g\;(g\;cells)^{-1}$·5L 발효조에서 얻은 균사체 성장, 세포외 다당체 생산, 기질감소 속도자료들을 모델에서 예측한 결과와 비교한 결과 서로 잘 일치하는 것으로 보아, 본 연구에서 제안된 모델식은 이 동충하초 균사체 배양공정의 scale-up등의 프로세스 설계에 응용가능 할 것이며, 다른 종류의 동충하초 균사체 배양공정에도 적용가능 할 것으로 판단된다.

  • 균체 생산성 실험과 chitinase 생산성 실험을 비교해 볼 때, chitinase만을 생산하는 조건 에서는 배지성분에 chitin을 첨가해 주는 것이 좋으나, 해충 방제용으로 살균력을 증진시키기 위하여 균체량과 chitinase의 생성량 및 산업적, 경제적 사용이 용이한 배지를 고려할 때에는 쌀겨와 밀기울이 첨가된 배지가 좋은 배지임을 알 수 있었다. 또한 이 배지를 이용하였을 경우 균체는 1X$10^8$ cfu/g, chitinase는 370mU/g로 생산되었으며 생물검정결과 53-64%의 탁월한 살충효과를 확인 할 수 있었다.

  • The entomopathogenic fungus Cordyceps militaris is a valuable medicinal ascomycete, which degenerates frequently during subsequent culture. To avoid economic losses during industrialized production, scratching stimuli of mycelia was introduced to improve the fruiting body production. The present results indicated that higher yields and biological efficiency were obtained from two degenerate strains (YN1-14 and YN2-7) but not from g38 (an insertional mutant in Rhf1 gene with higher yields and shorter growth periods). Furthermore, the growth periods of the fruiting bodies were at least 5 days earlier when the mycelia were scratched before stromata differentiation. Three ROS-scavenging genes including Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (CmSod1), Glutathione peroxidase (CmGpx), and Catalase A (CmCat A) were isolated and their expression profiles against scratching were determined in degenerate strain YN1-14 and mutant strain g38. At day 5 after scratching, the expression level of CmGpx significantly decreased for strain g38, but that of CmSod1 significantly increased for YN1-14. These results indicated that scratching is an effective way to promote fruiting body production of degenerate strain, which may be related at least with Rhf1 and active oxygen scavenging genes.

  • 산림청으로부터 분양받은 백강균의 균주 F101, F587, FJ8의 포자형성력과 균사와 포자의 esterase 활성도를 비교한 결과 F101이 가장 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 균의 포자를 도말한 후 $25^{\circ}C$ 조건에서 보관하면 5~7일부터 충이 치사하여 24~28일 후에는 충의 표면에 균사와 포자가 분출한다. 그러나 $4^{\circ}C$ 보관조건에서는 뚜렷한 병적 증상이 나타나지 않았고 50일 이상이 경과하여도 충밖으로 균사나 포자가 분출되는 것을 관찰할 수 없다. 백강균의 포자를 충체에 주입하였을 경우에는 충의 치사시기가 빨라지며 4$^{\circ}C$보다 $25^{\circ}C$에 보관하면서 지방체, 표피, 혈림프로 구분하여 전기영동법으로 조사한 결과 각 조직의 일반단백질과 esterase는 충 치사시기인 3일(60시간)을 기점으로 상당수가 사라지는 현상을 보인다. 백강균은 기주에 재차감염을 일으킬 수 있는 확율을 최대한으로 하기 위하여 공기중에 있을 때는 포자를, 토중에서는 길고 가는 균사를 형성하는 생리적인 적응을 한다.
