Serratia marcescens KY와 Serratia marcescens ATCC 27117 두 균주 모두 기본 배지에 $K_2$HPO$_4$ 농도를 0.2 g/L 농도 첨가할 경우 최대 chitinase 생성을 나타냈다. 그러나 세포 성장에 따른 균체량은 기본 배지에 $K_2$PHO$_4$ 농도 0.2 g/L 이상에서는 균체량은 약간 감소한다. 1.2% colloidal chitin과 0.2 g/L의 $K_2$PHO$_4$가 포함된 기본 배지에 MgSO$_4$를 0.2-0.25 g/L를 첨가하였을 때 최대의 chitinase 생성을 보이고, 두 균주 모두 K, P, Mg 및 기타 mineral을 영양 요구 인자로서 필요한다. Colloidal chitin을 1.2% 함유하고 있는 기본 배지에 각종 탄소원의 종류에 따른 세포 성장과 chitinase 생성은 colloidal chitin만을 첨가하였을 때가 상대적으로 가장 우수하고, 탄소원을 첨가할 경우 Serratia marcescens는 모든 탄소원에서 chitinase 생성이 억제되었다. 또한 질소원에 따른 세포 성장과 chitinase 생성은 Serratia marcescens KY와 Serratia marcescens ATCC 27117 모두 tryptone이 가장 우수하였고, 2.0 g/L의 질소원 농도까지는 질소원 농도가 증가함에 따라 chitinase 생성은 증가하다가 2.0 g/L 이상의 농도에서는 질소원 농도가 증가함에 따라 chitinase 생성은 감소하였다. 이들 질소원 중 chitinase 생성은 trypotone>yeast extract > beef extract > asparagine 순서로 chitinaserk 생성되므로, Serratia marcescens는 chitinase 생성에 있어 vitamin B군과 같은 질소원을 growth factor로 요구한다.

Chitinase를 생성하는 세균인 serratia marcescens JM을 해안 갯벌 시료로부터 분리하여, ammonium sulfate precipitation, affinity adsorption, hydroxylapatite와 Sephadex G-200 column chromatography를 통하여 정제하였다. 정제된 chitinase는 7.1% 회수율과 4.22의 정제도를 나타내었으며, 전기영동시 단일밴드를 얻을 수 있었고, SDS-PAGE에 의해 측정된 분량은 59,000으로 나타났다. 정제된 chitinase의 $K_m$과 $V_{max}$는 5.71mg/mL과 39.8 unit/mL로 나타났다. Chitinase의 최적활성 pH와 온도는 7과 50$^{\circ}C$였고 최적안정pH는 7.0이며 50$^{\circ}C$이하에서는 안정하였다. $Cu^{2+}\;Ca^{2+}$ 및 $Mg^{2+}$는 효소활성을 증가시켰으나 $Hg^{2+}$와 $I_2$는 효소 활성을 억제시켰다. 또한 cysteine은 효소활성을 증가시키나 EDTA, MIA, PCMB, 및 SDS는 효소활성을 억제시켰다. 해수 음이온 중 $MG^{2+},\;Ca^{2+},\;K^+$는 효소활성을 약간 증가시켰으나 $Na^{2+}$ 이온은 1mM이상농도에서 활성이 억제되었다. 본 논문에서 정제된 chitinase는 여러가지 특이점이 있는 serratia효소였다.

Three chitinase genes (chiA, chiB, and chiC) were cloned into E. coli by PCR amplification from Serratia marcescens KFRI314. The sizes of cloned chitinase genes were 1692 bp, 1500 bp, and 1443 bp which correspond to 563, 499, and 480 amino acids, respectively. Recombinant chitinases were overexpressed using pHCEIA expression vector and purified to homogenity. The molecular weights of chitinases were about 60kDa, 50 kDa, 52 kDa, respectively. Optimum pHs were around pH 5~6 and optimum temperatures were $45{\sim}50^{\circ}C$ while 90% of enzyme activities were stable up to $50^{\circ}C$. The specific activities of ChiA, ChiB, and ChiC were 233.1, 278.8, $111.3{\mu}mol\;(min)^{-1}\;mg^{-1}$ against colloidal chitin. From experiments using TLC and fluorescent substrate analogues, it was demonstrated that ChiA was endo-chitinase while ChiB and ChiC were chitobiosidase.

내분비계 장애물질로 잘 알려진 bisphenol A (BPA)를 단일탄소원으로 이용하여 균체성장을 나타내는 미생물 87주를 공단주변의 토양, 폐수 혹은 활성슬러지로부터 분리하였다. 분리된 균주 중 균체성장이 우수한 균주 8중을 2차 분리하였으며, 이 중 BPA분해효율이 뛰어난 3종의 균주를 BPA분해미생물로 최종 선별하였다. 최종 선별된 3종의 균주를 16s rDNA의 부분적 염기서열 및 형태학적, 생리학적 특성조사를 통해 Serratia maycescens 1901, S, marcescens 1902 그리고 Pseudomanas putida 1401로 동정되었다. BPA분해능은 HPLC분석을 통해 배양액중의 잔존 BPA 농도로 측정하였으며, 최종 선별된 3종의 균주를 대상으로 BPA가 100 mg/1흑은 500 mg/l의 농도로 포함된 최소 무기염 배지(PAS) 및 비타민을 포함하는 PAS인 PAV 배지에서 배양하여 BPA 분해능을 조사한 결과 20-40%의 분해효율을 나타내었다. 이들 균주의 균체성장은 PAS 배지에서 보다 PAV배지에서 우수하였다. S. marcescens 1901은 저농도(100 mg/l) BPA에서 분해효율이 다른 2종의 균주보다 우수하였고, S. marcescens 1902와 P. putida 1401은 고농도(500 mg/l)에서 BPA분해효율이 높았다. 선별된 3균주의 순수배양과 흔합배양에 의한 BPA분해효율을 비교한 결과, 유의한 차이는 나타나지 않았다.

solvent-tolerant bacterium strain, MH6, was isolated by hydrophilic organic solvent DMSO enrichment in the medium and identified as Serratia marcescens. The extracellular protease with novel organic-solvent-stable properties from strain MH6 was purified and characterized. The molecular mass of the purified protease was estimated to be 52 kDa on SDS-PAGE. The open reading frame (ORF) of the MH6 protease encoded 504 amino acids with 471 amino acid residues in the mature protease. Based on the inhibitory effects of EDTA and 1,10-phenathroline, the MH6 protease was characterized as a metalloproteinase. The enzyme activity was increased in the presence of $Ni^{2+}$, $Mg^{2+}$, and $Ca^{2+}$. The protease could also be activated by the nonionic surfactants Tween 80 (1.0%) and Triton X-100 (1.0%). The protease showed remarkable solvent stability in the presence of 50% (v/v) solutions of long-chain alkanes and long-chain alcohols. It was also fairly stable in the presence of 25% solutions of hydrophilic organic solvents. Owing to its high stability in solvents and surfactants, the MH6 protease is an ideal candidate for applications in organic catalysis and other related fields.

Four diazinon-degrading bacteria were isolated from agricultural soil by using an enrichment technique. The biochemical analysis and molecular method including RFLP indicated that these isolates were identical, and one strain designated DI101 was selected for further study. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rDNA sequencing indicated that the strain DI101 clearly belongs to the Serratia marcescens group. The ability of the strain to utilize diazinon as a source of carbon and phosphorus was investigated under different culture conditions. The DI101 strain was able to completely degrade 50 mg/l diazinon in MSM within 11 days with a degradation rate of 0.226 $day^{-1}$. The inoculation of sterilized soil treated with 100 mg/kg of diazinon with $10^6$ CFU/g DI101 resulted in a faster degradation rate than was recorded in non-sterilized soil. The diazinon degradation rate by DI101 was efficient at temperatures from 25 to $30^{\circ}C$ and at pHs from 7.0 to 8.0. The degradation rate of diazinon was not affected by the absence of a phosphorus supplement, and addition of other carbon sources (glucose or succinate) resulted in the slowing down of the degradation rate. The maximum degradation rate ($V_{max}$) of diazinon was 0.292 $day^{-1}$ and its saturation constant ($K_s$) was 11 mg/l, as determined by a Michaelis-Menten curve. The strain was able to degrade diethylthiophosphate-containing organophosphates such as chlorpyrifos, coumaphos, parathion, and isazofos when provided as a source of carbon and phosphorus, but not ethoprophos, cadusafos, and fenamiphos. These results propose useful information for the potential application of the DI101 strain in bioremediation of pesticide-contaminated environments.

N-acyl-homoserine lactone quorum sensing (AHL-QS) has been shown to regulate many physiological behaviors in Serratia marcescens MG1. In the current study, the effects of AHL-QS on the biosynthesis of acid and neutral products by S. marcescens MG1 and its isogenic ${\Delta}swrI$ with or without supplementing exogenous N-hexanoyl-L-homoserine lactone ($C_6-HSL$) were systematically investigated. The results showed that swrI disruption resulted in rapid pH drops from 7.0 to 4.8, which could be restored to wild type by supplementing $C_6-HSL$. Furthermore, fermentation product analysis indicated that ${\Delta}swrI$ could lead to obvious accumulation for acidogenesis products such as lactic acid and succinic acid, especially excess acetic acid (2.27 g/l) produced at the early stage of fermentation, whereas solventogenesis products by ${\Delta}swrI$ appeared to noticeably decrease by an approximate 30% for acetoin during 32-48 h and by an approximate 20% for 2,3-butanediol during 24-40 h, when compared to those by wild type. Interestingly, the excess acetic acid produced could be removed in an AHL-QS-independent manner. Subsequently, quantitative real-time PCR was used to determine the mRNA expression levels of genes responsible for acidogenesis and solventogenesis and showed consistent results with those of product synthesis. Finally, by close examination of promoter regions of the analyzed genes, four putative luxI box-like motifs were found upstream of genes encoding acetyl-CoA synthase, lactate dehydrogenase, ${\alpha}$-acetolactate decarboxylase, and Lys-like regulator. The information from this study provides a novel insight into the roles played by AHL-QS in switching from acidogenesis to solventogenesis in S. marcescens MG1.

In this study, the extracellular metalloprotease from Serratia marcescens PPB-26 was purified to homogeneity via ethanol fractionation and DEAE-cellulose column chromatography. Thus, a 3.8-fold purification was achieved with a 20% yield and specific activity of 76.2 U/mg. The purified protease was a 50-kDa monomer whose optimum pH and temperature for activity were 7.5 and $30^{\circ}C$ respectively; however, it was found to remain active in the 5-9 pH range and up to $40^{\circ}C$ for 6 h. The protease had a half-life of 15 days at $4^{\circ}C$, an optimum reaction time of 10 min, and an optimum substrate (casein) concentration of 0.25%. Furthermore, the Michaelis constant ($K_m$) and reaction velocity ($V_{max}$) of the protease were calculated to be 0.28% and $111.11{\mu}moles/(min{\cdot}mg)^{-1}$, respectively. The protease was stable when subjected to metal ions (2 mM), showing increased activity with most (especially $CoCl_2$ and $MgSO_4$ (30.54% increase)). It was also stable when exposed to oxidizing agents, bleaching agents, and detergents (5% v/v for 60 min). It retained 93% of its activity in non-ionic detergents (Tween-20, Tween-80, and Triton X-100). Moreover, wash performance analysis in commercial detergents (Ariel and Tide) showed that not only was the protease capable of protein stain removal, but also reduced cleaning time by 80% when added to detergents. Thus, the Serratia marcescens PPB-26 metalloprotease appears to be a promising new candidate as a laundry additive in the detergent industry.
