A novel chromosomal gene tagging technique using a specific fragment of the fatty acid desaturase-like open reading frame (des-like ORF) from the tox-argK gene cluster of Pseudomonas syringae pv. phaseolicola was developed to identify Xanthomonas spp.released into the environment as biocontrol agents. X. campestris pv. convolvuli FB-635, a pathogen of Convolvulus arvensis L., (bindweed), was chosen as the organism in which to develop and test the system. A 0.52 kb DES fragment amplified from P. syringae pv. phaseolicola C-199 was inserted into pGX15, a cosmid clone containing a 10.3 kb Eco RI-HindIII fragment derived from the xanthomonadin biosynthetic gene cluster contained in plasmid pIG102, to create a pigG::DES insertion. The 10.8 kb EcoRI-BamHI fragment carrying the pigG:: DES insertion was cloned into pLAFR3 to generate pLXP22. pLXP22 was then conjugated into X. campestris pv. convolvuli FB-635 and the pigG::DES insertion integrated into the bacterial chromosome by marker exchange. Rifampicin resistant, tetracycline sensitive, starch hydrolyzing, white colonies were used to differentiate the marked strain from yellow pigmented wild-type ones. PCR primers specific for the unique DES fragment were used for direct detection of the marked strain. Result showed the marked strain could be detected at very low levels even in the presence of high levels of other closely related or competitive bacteria. This PCR-based DES-tagging system provides a rapid and specific tool for directly monitoring the dispersal and persistence of Xanthomonas spp.released into the environment.

1997년과 1998년 광주와 광명의 상추 재배 온실에서 새로운 병해가 발견되었다. 처음에는 잎에 병반이 불규칙적이고 작은 연녹색이었다가 점점 커져 지름이 2$\sim$5 mm 정도인 수침상의 검은색 병반이 형성되었다. 잎의 아래쪽에서 엽맥을 따라 검은색의 줄무늬 병반이 형성되기도 하고 심해지면 잎이 시들어 말라 죽었다. YDC 배지에서 병원세균을 순수 분리하였을 때 Xanthomonas속 세균의 전형적인 특징인 노란색 색소를 띤 세균이 형성되었다. 분리된 세균을 $10^8$ cfu/ml로 현탁한 후 상추의 엽맥에 주사 접종하여 병원성을 확인하였다. 지방산 조성 및 함량과 다양한 탄소원 이용정도를 이용하여 분리세균 SL0246과 SL1352를 X. campestris pv. vitians로 동정하였으며 이 병을 상추의 세균성점무의병으로 명명하였다.

양파의 주요 flavonoid 성분인 quercetin에 대한 항균 활성은 일부 알려져 있으나, 식물 병원성 세균인 X. campestris와 E. carotovora에 대한 활성은 알려져 있지 않았다. 본 연구에서는 quercetin과 양파 추출물을 활용하여 이들 식물병원균에 대한 항균 활성과 농용 항생제인 streptomycin과의 synergistic 효과를 평가하였으나, E. carotovora에 대한 항균 활성은 없었다. 하지만, X. campestris에서는 다른 세균류에서 알려진 MIC보다 10배 이상 낮은 15.6 ㎍ mL^-1이었으며, MBC는 20.0 ㎍ mL^-1으로 X. campestris에 대해 높은 선택적 항균 활성을 확인할 수 있었다. 다만, 농업용 항생제로 사용중인 streptomycin과의 약효상승 효과는 없었다. 또한, quercetin은 양파껍질의 EtOAc와 EtOH 추출물로부터 확보할 수 있었으며, EtOAc 추출물에서 quercetin 순도가 높음을 확인하였고, 이에 따라 EtOH 추출물보다 2배 가량 높은 항균 활성(MIC = 500 ㎍ mL^-1)이 확인되었다.

생물학적 난분해성 물질인 폴리비닐 알콜(PVA : Polyvinyl alcohol)을 탄소원 및 에너지원으로 이용하는 Xanthomonas campestris J2Y로부터 PVA oxidase를 생산하여 정제하기 위하여 PVA가 탄소원으로 첨가된 배지에서 진탕배양한 배양액을 원심분리한 후 상등액을 10 mM phosphate buffer(pH 7.5)로 평형시킨 DEAE -cellulose를 통과시켜 얻은 분획을 사용하여 DEAE-cellulose와 Sephadex G-150을 이용한 Gel filtration을 통하여 PVA oxidase를 정제하였다. 정제된 PVA oxidase는 polyacrylamide gel 전기영동으로 단일밴드로 확인되었으며 SDS-polyacrylamide gel 전기영동과 Sephadex G-150 column chromatography를 통해 측정한 결과 55,000 daltons 이었다. PVA oxidase의 최적 pH는 7이고 최적온도는 $37^{\circ}C$였다. 열 안정성은 $50^{\circ}C$까지는 70% 이상의 안정성을 나타내었고, pH에 대한 안정성은 5-11에서 비교적 안정하였다. 금속이온에 대한 영향은 $Ag^{2+},\;Hg^{2+},\;Sn^{2+}$ 등에서는 아주 강한 저해를 받았고, $Co^{2+},\;Fe^{2+},\;Zn^{2+},\;Pb^{2+}$에서는 50% 정도의 저해를 받았다. 반면에 $Mn^{2+},\;Cu^{2+}$는 효소활성을 증가시켰다. PVA에 정제 PVA oxidase의 Km치는 $7.04{\times}10\;^2mmol/{\ell}$이었다.

This study was carried out to elucidate the mode of bacteriostatic property of xanthostatin (XS), a novel depsipeptide antibiotic with an N-acetylglycine side chain and selective antimicrobial activity against Xanthomonas spp. Two biotransformed XSs were isolated by the treatment of XS with the cell lysate of Xanthomonas campestris pv. citri, a solvent partition, preparative TLC, and HPLC. Structure determination of those two biotransformed XSs demonstrated deletion of the N-acetylglycine side chain. Noteworthily, they showed no antimicrobial activity against Xanthomonas spp. This result suggests that the N-acetylglycine side chain plays a critical role in the antimicrobial activity of XS, and that the bacteriostatic property of XS is due to susceptibility of the ester bond between the hexadepsipeptide nucleus and the N-acetylglycine side chain to hydrolytic enzyme(s) produced by Xanthomonas spp.

Capsicum pepper selections fro PI163192, PI241670, PI244670, PI271322, PI308787, PI322719, and PI369994 were confirmed to be non-hypersensitively resistant to race 3 of Xanthomonas campestris pv. vesicatoria. A resistant cultivar,‘SR’, was shown to be hypersensitive. Four Koran local cultivars, a cytoplasmic male sterile line (A-line) and its maintainer (B-line) were highly susceptible. The resistant selections and cultivars were crossed with a male sterile A-line (Smsms) and fertility of their F1 hybrids was examined by observing he pollen production, testing pollen germination, and quantifying the amount of pollen produced per anther to identify the genotype interacting with the male sterile cytoplasm. The seven resistant PI selections turned out to be restorers (N(S)MsMs) and‘SR’to be a maintainer (Nmsms).

Inoculation of primary pepper leaves with an avirulent strain of Xanthomonas campestris pv. vesicatoria induced systemic acquired resistance (SAR) in secondary leaves. This SAR response was accompanied by the systemic expression of defense-related genes, a systemic microoxidative burst generating H2O2, and the systemic induction of ion-leakage and callose deposition in the non-inoculated, secondary leaves. Some defense-related genes encoding PR-1, chitinase, peroxidase, PR10, thionin, defensin and zinc-finger protein were distiilctly induced in the systemic leaves. The systemically striking accumulation of H$_2$O$_2$and strong increase in peroxidase activity in pepper was suggested to contribute to the triggering of cell death In the systemic micro-HRs, leading to the induction of SAR. Treatment of non-inoculated, secondary leaves with diphenylene iodinium (DPI), an inhibitor of the oxidative burst, substantially reduced the induction of some defense-related genes and subsequently SAR.

백엽고병에 대한 저항성품종으로 알려진 밀양 30호의 이병화원인을 구명하기 위하여 수원, 밀양, 해남산에 대한 최고분얼기, 출수기엽과 기본식물에 대한 각균군의 균주별 저항성 관계를 조사한 결과 가. $1979\~'81$년 전국에서 이병된 밀양 30호의 침해균군 비친화성으로 밝혀진 I, II균군의 균주가 다수분리되었다. 나. 산지 및 생육시기별 저항성 정도의 차는 인정할 수 없었으나 II 균군의 특수균주(병원성 분화형)에 대해 침해받았음이 원인이었다. 다. 밀양 30호의 기본식물에서도 동일 균군 균주에 의해 반응이 일치되므로 품종보다 균주의 병원성 분화에 따른 이병화임을 알 수 있었다.

Segregation and condensation protein B (ScpB) is essential for replication and segregation in living organisms. Here, we reported the functions of ScpBXv (ScpB-like protein in Xanthomonas campestris pv. vesicatoria) using phenotypic and proteomic analyses. Growth of $Xcv{\Delta}scpBXv$ (ScpBXv knockout mutant) was reduced under both slow and fast growth conditions in rich medium, but comparable to this of the wild-type in plant-mimic conditions. Interestingly, the mutant was significantly less virulent than the wild-type in tomato, indicating that ScpBXv is involved in virulence. To investigate ScpBXv-associated mechanisms, comparative proteomic analyses were carried out and the abundance of 187 proteins was altered. Among them, diverse transcriptional regulators involved in biofilm formation and virulence were abundant in the wild-type. We further showed that biofilm formation of $Xcv{\Delta}scpBXv$ was reduced. This study provides new insights into the functions of ScpBXv in bacterial replication and biofilm formation, which may contribute to the virulence of Xcv.

In the Xanthan gum fermentation by Xanthomonas campestris there are problems of the large energy consumption by long fermentation time, the mass transfer of oxygen and nutrients by high viscous fermentation broth. In this study, the media optimization and the fed batch fermentation were carried out to decrease fermentation time and increase Xanthan gum yield. The $O_2$ uptake rate (OUR) and $CO_2$ evolution rate(CER) which were obtained from the analysis of fermentation exit gas using a gas chromatograph were investigated. As a result, the fermentation time decreased at optimal assimilable nitrogen concentration but increased at poor or rich assimilable nitrogen concentration, the Xanthan gum biosynthesis was stimulated under the limited condition of assimilable nitrogen source and the optimum fermentation medium was obtained as follow; Glucose=30g / l, Peptone=8.0g / l, $K_2HPO_4=2.0g/l$, $MgS0_47H_2O=10g/l$, Sodium acetate=20g/l, Sodium pyruvate=0.5g/1. As the agitation speed and nitrogen concentration increased, the $O_2$ uptake rate and $CO_2$ evolution rate increased. The OUR and CER were 37.3mmol $O_2/\;l$ hr and 20.2 mmol $CO_2/\;L$ hr at peptone 11g / l and agitation speed 990RPM, respectively. In fed batch fermentation, the final concentration of Xanthan gum was enhanced up to 29g / l.
