본 연구는 다양한 천연물계 항균물질로부터 추출된 추출액(extract)들의 자체 항곰팡이 성능을 평가하고, 이를 적용한 항균모르타르의 항곰팡이 성능과 그 지속성능, 그리고 항균성능 등에 대해 종합적으로 고찰함으로써 효율적인 건축물 내 항균대책 및 친환경 항균 건자재(모르타르 포함) 개발을 위한 기초적 자료를 제공하고자 수행하였다. 시험결과, 마조람 추출액 및 이를 적용한 항균모르타르의 항곰팡이 성능은 현재 널리 사용되고 있는 유기계 화학 항곰팡이제 및 이를 적용한 모르타르와 동등수준의 높은 항곰팡이 성능을 나타내었다. 특히 마조람 추출액 5% 혼입 모르타르는 장기 항곰팡이 성능뿐 아니라 대장균, 녹농균 및 황색포도상구균에 대한 항균성능에서도 뛰어나 그 활용가능성이 크게 기대되었으며, 향후 이에 대한 보다 상세한 검토가 요구된다.

형방지황탕은 한의학에서 중요한 약처방으로 인간의 기력 회복에 약효가 탁월한 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 형방지황탕으로부터 항생 물질(HTI)을 분리하여 항진균활성 및 그 작용기작을 검토하였다. 그 결과 각종 병원성 진균에 대해 항진균 활성을 나타내었으며, 인간 적혈구에 대해서는 세포독성이 나타나지 않은 것으로 확인되었다. 또한 캔디다 알비칸스를 대상으로 스트레스 방어기작과 세포 이형성 유도에 HTI이 미치는 영향을 검토한 결과, 트리 할로즈의 증가와 이형성 유도에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타나 이러한 현상이 항진균활성에 상관관계가 있음을 확인하였으며, 또한 진균의 세포주기에 미치는 영향도 항진균 활성의 요인이 됨을 밝혔다.

The incidence of aspergillosis infections in the maxillary sinus has increased recently, because of overuse of antibiotics, steroids, anticancer agents, immunosuppressant, antimetabollites, and uncontrolled diabetes mellitus. The clinical features of maxillary sinus aspergillosis include pain, swelling and foul odor nasal excretion. This needs to be differentiated from bacterial maxillary sinusitis, and surgical treatment with antifungal agents are suggested. Recently, we treated two patients with maxillary sinus aspergillosis surgically (Caldwell Luc operation) and with antifungal agents(itraconazole). The results were satisfactory so we report these cases with literature review.

A potential biocontrol bacterium, YB-70 was isolated from a rhizosphere in suppressive soil and identified as a strain of Bacillus subtilis. In several biochemical and in vitro antibiosis tests on Fusarium solani with the culture filterates from B. subtilis YB-70, we found that antifungal mechanism of B. subtilis YB-70 was mediated by antibiotic substances produced from the bacterium. These antifungal substances were appeared to be hear-resistant, micromolecular, and ethy alcohol soluble. Antifungal agents produced by B. subtilis YB-70 showed strong inhibified against root-rotting fungi F. solani in in vivo pot test. An antifungal substance. YBS-1s, was purified from the culture broth of B. subtilis YB-70 by isoelectronic precipitation, silica gel column chromatography and Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography analysis by Fab-MASS, $^{1}$H-NMR, $^{13}$C-NMR, DEPT, and amino acid analyzer revealed that the YBS-1A was a peptide antibiotics of iturin class containing seven amino acids from five different groups, and the other(YBS-1B) was an analogue of iturin group composed of 11 amino acids with larher molecular weight of about 1, 500 dalton, which was lager than that of iturin A.

Antifungal activities of the extracts from 26 medicinal plants were investigated utilizing paper-disk diffusion method and (1,3)β-glucan synthase inhibitory assay. (1,3)β-glucan synthase is considered as valuable target in the development of antifungal agents. Among the screened extracts, the ethyl acetate extract of Equisetum arvense, the ethyl acetate extract of Polygonum aviculare, the butanol extract of Crataegus pinnatifida and the n-hexane extract of Saussurea lappa showed significant antifungal activities on Candida albacans in both disk diffusion and enzyme assays.

This study evaluated the activity of biocidal compounds isolated from natural products and confirmed applicable possibility as conservative agents for orgainic cultural heritages damaged by biological degradation. we used methanol extracts of 11 Korean trees and 17 medicinal plants as natural resources. Among these extracts, Phellodendron amurense was investigated on antifungal activity against Coniophora puteana, Lentinus lepideus, Tyromyces palustris and Aspergillus niger. Asarum sieboldii was investigated on insecticidal activity against adult of Lasioderma serricorne. First, the extract of Phellodendron amurense was partitioned into hexane, dichloromethan and ethylacetate fraction. Among them, the ethylacetate fraction had the most significant antifungal activity. In addition, Asarum sieboldii essential oil showed an effective antifungal and insecticidal activity. As a result, the extract of Phellodendron amurense and Asarum sieboldii essential oil could be useful for conservation of organic cultural heritage against biological deterioration by wood rot fungi and Lasioderma serricorne.

Two dimeric sesquiterpenes were separated from Chloranthus japonicus Sieb. and identified as shizukaols C and F. They exhibited potent antifungal activities ($MICs=4-16{\mu}g/ml$) in vitro against various plant pathogenic fungi (Pythium ultimum, Phytophthora infestans, Botrytis cinerea, Colletotrichum lagenarium, Alternaria kikuchiana, and Magnaporthe grisea). Shizukaol C showed 88% and 91% protective activities in the greenhouse against Puccinia recondita (wheat leaf rust) and Phytophthora infestans (tomato late blight), respectively, at $100{\mu}g/ml$; shizukaol F exhibited 93% antifungal activity against Puccinia recondita at the same concentration. Therefore, these compounds might serve as interesting candidates for effective antifungal agents.

Bacillus strains produce various types of antibiotics, and random mutagenesis has traditionally been used to overproduce these natural metabolites. However, this method leads to the accumulation of unwanted mutations in the genome. Here, we rationally designed a single nucleotide substitution in the degU gene to generate a B. subtilis strain displaying increased plipastatin production in a foreign DNA-free manner. The mutant strain (BS1028u) showed improved antifungal activity against Pythium ultimum. Notably, pps operon deletion in BS1028u resulted in complete loss of antifungal activity, suggesting that the antifungal activity strongly depends on the expression of the pps operon. Quantitative real-time PCR and lacZ assays showed that the point mutation resulted in 2-fold increased pps operon expression, which caused the increase in antifungal activity. Likewise, commercial Bacillus strains can be improved to display higher antifungal activity by rationally designed simple modifications of their genome, rendering them more efficient biocontrol agents.

본 연구에서는 근권토양으로부터 18종의 세균을 순수분리하고, 이들의 식물 병원성 진균 생육억제 활성, 식물생장촉진 활성 및 미네랄 가용화능을 평가하였다. Bacillus 속과 Pseudomonas 속 분리균주의 항진균 활성을 통해 생물학적 방제제로서의 가능성을 확인할 수 있었으며, 이는 식물 병원성 진균의 세포벽에 작용하는 여러 가수분해효소 활성과 siderophore 생성능 등에 기인된 것으로 판단된다. 또한 대부분의 분리균주가 aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate deaminase 생성능, indole-3-acetic acid 생성능 및 질소 고정능을 갖고 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 이러한 특성은 식물이 흔히 노출될 수 있는 환경 스트레스 조건 하에서 스트레스 에틸렌의 농도를 감소시킴으로써 뿌리 발달 및 성장, 그리고 작물의 생산성에 긍정적인 영향을 줄 것으로 판단된다. 그리고 분리균주의 인산, 규소, 탄산칼슘, 아연 가용화능 등을 확인한 결과, 일부 분리균주들의 미네랄 가용화능을 확인하였으며, 이들 분리균주를 식물 생장 시에 접종한다면 식물 생장에 필요한 영양분을 식물이 흡수할 수 있는 이용가능한 형태로 변환시켜 식물의 생장에 도움을 줄 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. 이러한 항진균 활성, 식물생장촉진 활성 및 미네랄 가용화능의 결과를 통해 분리균주 18종의 biocontrol agent로서의 이용가능성을 제시하고자 한다.

The effect of pH of chitosan solution (w/v) on antifungal activity against Malassezia pachydermatis isolated from a dog with otitis externa was evaluated. This study was investigated to find out the optimal pH of chitosan solution that could be able to eliminate yeast cells. For comparison of antifungal activity of chitosan solution 2% chlorhexidine that have been already proved the antifungal effect against M. pachydermatis was used as positive control. The chitosan solution at different pH (2.5, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5, 5.0) were involved this experiment. The chitosan solutions at each pH could eliminate a number of yeast cells when they were compared to other antifungal agents. In chitosan solution's antifungal effect of varying degrees according to the pH M. pachydermatis was inhibited at pH of < 5.0. Especially it has been proved an effective antifungal effect at pH 3.5. Therefore, the pH of chitosan solution had a effect on antifungal activity and the optimal pH was 3.5 in vitro. The possibility of topical therapy with acidific solution of chitosan has a potential in skin infection against M. pachydermatis.
