The seven strains, Pseudomonas paucimobilis, Pseudomonas cepacia, Staphylococcus auricularis, Staphylococcus saprophyticus, Acidovorax spp., Acinetobacter calcoaceticus, and Actinobacillus capsulatus were tested with three slimicides. Most of the tested bacteria were inhibited with slimicide K (an isothiazolin based compound), even at its low concentration, except for Actinobacillus capsulatus and Staphylococcus auricularis. Both slimicides B (an organic bromine based compound) and S (aldehydes) also couldn't prevent these two strains even at their highest concentration. Five different sizes of plasmid DNA were isolated from Actinobacillus capsulatus. Staphylococcus auricularis, a gram-positive bacteria, showed the slimy substances around its cell distinctively. The results suggest that two strains, Actinobacillus capsulatus, Staphylococcus auricularis, have presumably developed a resistance to the slimicide, by plasmid DNA or slimy substance. Our findings also suggest that not only gram-negative bacteria, but also gram-positive bacteria should not be neglected

Forth microbial isolates out of 167 isolates from the soil of controlled cultivation areas inhibited mycelial growth of Rhizoctonia solani AG2-1 causing the strawberry bud rot in vitro. Among the isolates, Kr013 and Kr020 showed suppressive effect to R. solani AG2-1 on seedlings of chinese cabbage treated by root immersion, charcoal carrier granule and drenching on 1.0% infested soil in pot. Furthemore, the corresponding effect was also revealed when the charcoal carrier granule of the isolates were treated on the seedling of strawberry that were planted on the planting hole in pot. To examine the effects of biological control in green house, it had been tested the infection rates by using two different treatments. First, the strawberry runner were planted on the nursery soil mixed with 20% charcoal carrier granule of Kr013 and Kr020 isolate respectively, and grown for 20 days before transplanting. Then the young plants form the mother plant were separated and transplanted on the 1.0% infested soil. Another method was that the charcoal carrier of Kr013 and Kr020 isolates applied to planting hole of 1.0% infested soil just before transplanting. Then the young plants were grown for 20 days on the sterilized nursery soil before transplanting. From the results, the effects of biological control was significantly higher on former treatment (e.g. the infection rates were 7.3 and 5.7%, respectively) than on the latter treatment (e.g. the corresponding value were 16.7 and 15.7%, respectively). The antagonistic isolates of Kr013 and Kr020 were respectively identified as Pseudomonas cepacia with the similarity of 55.0% and 60.0% by using the Biolog GN Microplate system.

2-Hydroxy-6-oxo-6phenylhexa-2,4-dienoate (HOPDA) hydrolase catalyzes the hydrolytic cleavage of HOPDA to bemzpate and 2-hydroxypenta-2, 4-dienoate (HPD) during microbial catabolism of biphenyl and polychlorinated biphenyls. A HOPDA hydrolase gene (pcbD) was isolated from the genomic library of Pseudomonas sp. P20 and designated as pCNUO1201; a 7.5-kb XbaI DNA fragment from Pseudomonas sp. P20 was inserted into the pBluescript SK(+) XbaI site. E. coli HB101 harboring pCNU1201 exhibited HOPDA hydrolase activity. The open reading frame (ORF) corresponding to the pcbD gene consisted of 855 base pairs with an ATG initiation codon and a TGA termination codon. The ORF was preceded by a rebosome-binding sequence of 5'-TGGAGC-3' and its G+C content was 55 mol%. The pcbD gene of Pseudomonas sp. P20 was located immedeately downstream of the pcbC gene encoding 2,3- dihydroxybiphenyl 1,2-dioxygenase, and approximately 4-kb upstream of the pcbE gene encoding HPD hydratase. The pcbK gene was able to encode a polypeptide with a molecular weight of 31,732 containing 284 amino acid residues. The deduced amino acid sequence of the HOPDA hydrolase of Pseudomonas sp. P20 exhibited high identity (62%) with those of the HOPDA hydrolases of P. putida KF715, P. pseudoalcaligenes KF707, and Burkholderia cepacia LB400, and also significant homology with those of other hydrolytic enzymes including esterase, transferase, and peptidase.

Treatment with antagonistic rhizobactera Burkholderia cepacia strain N9523 or an inducer of resistance DL-$\beta$-amino-n-butyric acid (BABA) effectively inhibited Phytophthora capsici infection on pepper plants in artificially infested pots. Treatment with BABA alone at $1,000\mu\textrm{g}$/ml or together with B. cepacia in combination induced a strong protection from the Phytophthora disease in the greenhouse. In artificially infested field, protection of pepper plants against the Phytophthora epidemic by BABA treatment was maintained at a considerable level. In contrast, soil drench with the antagonist B. cepacia alone, or in combination with BABA did not suppress the Phytophthora epidemic in the field. Mortality of pepper plants caused by P. capsici infection was significantly reduced by treatment with the antagonist Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain 950923-29 and BABA (12-29% plants diseased) relative to the untreated control (41-91% plants diseased) in the naturally infested field. Treatment with the antagonist Ps. aeruginosa strain 950923-29 and BABA also resulted in high levels of protection against Phytophthora blight in pepper plants. In the plastic filmhouse test, the average percentage of plants diseased was significantly low relative to the naturally infested field. Treatment with the antagonist Ps. aeruginosa strain 950923-29 and BABA in combination was most effective in suppressing the Phytophthora disease in field and plastic filmhouse.

최근 항생제의 남용과 오용으로 인한 약제 내성균의 증가로 사회적으로 많은 문제를 야기하고 있다. 이러한 약제 내성균의 종류와 결과는 임상에서 환자의 치료에 많은 도움이 되리라 판단된다. 1996년 1월 1일부터 12월 31일까지 전북지역 종합병원 임상병리과에서 분리된 6,135균주에 관한 세균의 종류와 항생제 감수성 결과는 아래와 같다. 분리동정 된 균종은 Escherichia coli 1,134 균주 (18.4%) P. aeruginosa 856 균주 (13.9%) coagulase negative Staphylococcus 793 균주 (12.89%) Staphylococcus aureus 555 균주 (9.02%) Pseudomonas cepacia 421 균주 (6.84%) Enterobacter cloacae 366 균주 (5.95%), Enterococcus faecalis (4.86%) Klebsiella pneumoniae 220 균주 (3.85%) 순으로 나타났으며 검체별로는 소변에서는 E. coli가 40.6% (800 균주)로, 농에서는 B. cepacia가 18% (199 균주), 객담에서는 P. aeruginosa가 43.7% (306 균주) 혈액에서는 Enterobacter cloacae가 25.8% (166 균주), coagulase negative Staphylococcus (19.6%) P. aeruginosa 56 균주 (8.1%) 순으로 분리되었으며 그람음성 간균 중에서 항생제 감수성결과 P. aeruginosa는 ceftazidime imipenem을 제 외 하고는 나머지 항생제에서는 거의 내성을 나타냈으나, 같은 포도당 비 발효그람음성 간균인 B. cepacia는 aztreonam, ceftazidime, ciprofloxacin, piperacillin, trimethoprim/sulfa에서 약 90％이상의 감수성을 보여 대조를 이루었다. 그람양성균들은 vancomycin, teicoplanin에서 90% 이상의 감수성을 보였으며, 그외는 거의 내성이었다. Enterococcus faecalis는 penicillin-G, ampicillin, ciprofloxacin에서 85%이상이 감수성을 보였다. 검체별 항생제 감수성을 보면 Enterobacter cloacae는 다른 검체에서 보다 blood에서 분리된 검체가 항생제 감수성이 낮았고, P. aeruginosa는 urine에서 분리된 검체가 감수성이 낮게 나타나 검체별 균의 감수성의 차이가 있음을 보여주었다. 이 연구에서 나타난 결과 많이 사용되고 있는 항생제는 내성이 많이 발생하고 있음을 보여주고 있으며 내성이 그리 나타나지 않던 균들이 내성이 점차 보이기 시작하여 이들 균들에 대한 대책이 요구되며 세균감염의 진단, 치료시 항생제의 선택시 항생제 검사 후에 사용하는 것이 바람직하리라 생각된다.

정수처리 공정에서 생물활성탄 (BAC) 공정은 미생물의 유기물 제거능을 극대화시킨 일종의 생물여과 공정이다 BAC 공정은 유기물과 미생물 재성장능을 효과적으로 제거한다. BAC 공정은 그 수계에 존재하는 미생물들이 활성탄에 부착 ${\cdot}$ 서식하며 수중의 천연유기물질을 기질로 이용하기 때문에 그 수계에 서식하는 미생물 종들에 매우 의존적이다. 본 연구는 낙동강 하류의 배리취수장 원수를 사용하여 생물활성탄에 의한 pilot-plant 공정을 운전하면서 SAC 공정에서의 활성탄 재질별로 배양작 (평판배양법) 및 비배양적 방법 (FISH)을 이용하여 SAC 부착세균의 군집구조 특성을 조사하였다. 실험결과 석탄계 재질의 부착세균 HPC 및 생산력이 각각 $1.20{\times}l0^7{\sim}56.2{\times}l0^7$ CFU/g, $1.2{\sim}3.7\;mg-C/m^3{\cdot}h$ 의 범위를 보여 세균 생체량과 DOC 제거율은 석탄계 재질이 가장 높은 것으로 나타났다. 배양적 방법으로 활성탄 재질별 부착세균을 동정한 결과 Pseudomonas 속이 우접하였고, 그 다음으로 Flavobacterium 속, Alcaligenes 속, Acinetobacter 속, Sphingomonas 속 등의 순으로 동정되었다. 또한, Pseudomonas 속 중 석탄계와 야자계 BAC에서는 Pseudomonas vesicularis, 목탄계 BAC에서는 Pseudomonas cepacia가 우점종으로 분포하였다. 비배양적 방법인 FISH 법을 이용한 세균 군집구조 조사결과 활성탄 재질별로 ${\alpha}$군집 27.0 ${\sim}$ 43.0%, ${\gamma}$ 군집 11.3 ${\sim}$ 28.6%, ${\beta}$ 군집 7.1 ${\sim}$ 22.0% 비율로 나타나 유기물 제거효율은 주로 ${\alpha}$ 군집에 의해 조절되어짐을 알 수 있었다.

Using fungal (Fusarium solani f. pisi) and bacterial (Pseudomonas mendocina) cutinases, the initial hydrolysis rate of p-nitrophenyl esters was systematically estimated for a wide range of enzyme and substrate concentrations using a 96-well microplate reader. Both cutinases exhibited a high substrate specificity; i.e. a high hydrolytic activity on p-nitrophenyl butyrate (PNB), yet extremely low activity on p-nitrophenyl palmitate (PNP). When compared to the hydrolysis of PNB and PNP by other hydrolases [lipases and esterases derived from different microbial sources, such as bacteria (Pseudomonas cepacia, Psedomonas furescens, Baciilus stearothermophilus), molds (Aspeillus niger, mucor miehei), and yeasts (Candida rugosa, Candida cylindracea)], the above substrate specificity would seem to be a unique characteristic of cutinases. Secondly, the hydrolytic activity of the cutinases on PNB appeared much faster than that of the other hydrolytic enzymes mentioned above. Furthermore, the current study proved that even when the cutinases were mixed with large amounts of other hydrolases (lipases or esterases), the Initial hydrolysis rate of PNB was determined only by the cutinase concentration for each PNB concentration. This property of cutinase activity would seem to result from a higher accessibility to the substrate PNB, compared with the other hydrolytic enzymes. Accordingly, these distinct properties of cutinases may be very useful in the rapid and easy isolation of various natural cutinases with different microbial sources, each of which may provide a novel industrial application with a specific enzymatic function.
