An extracellular chitinase of the selected strong antifungal microorganism, Serratia sp. 3095, was purified by salting out, affinity adsorption, Sepadex G-100 gel fitration, Sepadex G-75 gel fitration and DEAE Sepadex A-50 chromatography. The molecular weight of the purified chitinase was estimated to be 62,000 dalton by SDS-PAGE. Optimal pH and temperature of the chitinase were pH 7.5 and 45, respectively. The enzyme retained more than 80% of the activity between pH 5.5 and pH 10.5, and below $50^{\circ}C$ but was unstable above $60^{\circ}C$, below pH 5.0. The activity of the chitinase was inhibited about 60% by $Sn^{2+}$, 40% by $Hg^{2+}$ and $Ag^+$, 70% by AHA, 40% by iodoacetate, 35% by thiourea and p-CMB, but stabilized by SDS. $K_m$ value of the purified chitinase was 3.68 mg/ml for colloidal chitin. The chitinase from Serratia sp. 3095 showed antifungal activity to Fusariurm solani.

A multifunctional antagonistic bacterium, producing both antifungal antibiotic and chitinase that could be used as biocontrol agents against fungal plant pathogens was isolated from the plant-disease suppressive soil. The isolate was identified as Promicromonospora sp. KH-28 from various morphological, biochemical and physiological tests. The antifungal antibiotic produced by Promicromonospora sp. KH-28 was soluble in n-butanol, methanol, toluene, n-hexane, ethanol but insoluble in H2O, acetone, chloroform, ethylacetate and ethylether. It inhibited the growth of fungal plant pathogens of Fusarium solani, F. oxysporum, Alternaria mali and Phytophthora capsici. The antagonistic Promicromonospora sp. KH-28 produced optimally the antifungal antibiotic when it was cultivated at pH 7, 3$0^{\circ}C$ for 5 days.

강낭콩 잎에서 에틸랜에 의하여 유도되는 분자량 30KD인 염기성 키틴분해효소를 정제하고 그 항균활성을 연구하였다. 이 단백질은 chitinase 활성과 lysozyme 활성을 가졌으며, Aspergillus fumigatus, Botrytis cinerea, Fusarium oxysporum, Rhizoctonia solani의 균사 생장을 억제하였다. 그러나 함께 실험한 2종류의 미생물 chitinase, 달걀 lysozyme, 파파야 protease는 이들에 대한 항균작용을 갖지 않았다. 이상의 결과는 lysozyme 활성을 가진 식물 chitinase가 병원균의 균사생장을 억제하여 자신을 방어할 수 있음을 시사한다.

경주지역의 토양으로부터 Fusarium 속 식물병원균에 길항력을 갖는 chitinase 생산성 길항미생물을 분리할 수 있었으며, 이를 분류학적으로 동정하여 본 결과 Serratia proteamaculans 3095로 동정할 수 있었다. 이 균주가 생성하는 chitinase의 생성조건을 조사한 결과 탄소원으로 colloidal chitin이 가장 좋았으며 그 최적 농도는 0.15%이었고, glucose에 의해 chitinase 생산 유도를 억제받는 효소임을 알 수 있었다. 질소원에 의한 영향은 $(NH_4)_2SO_4,\;(NH_4)Cl$, peptone 등에 의해 chitinase 생산성이 증가되었고, $(NH_4)_2SO_4$와 peptone을 각각 0.1%씩 첨가하였을 때 chitinase 생산이 가장 좋았다. 또한 시드름병균 Fusarium oxysporum을 대상으로 in vitro, in vivo pot 실험을 통해 Serratia sp. 3095의 강한 방제력을 검증할 수 있었다.

Chitinase (EC 3.2.1.14) was isolated from the culture filtrate of Streptomyces sp. M-20 and purified by ammonium sulfate precipitation, DEAE-cellulose ion-exchange chromatography, and Sephadex G-100 gel filtration. No exochitinase activity was found in the culture filtrate. The molecular mass of the purified chitinase was 20 kDa, estimated by a sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and was confirmed by activity staining with Calcofluor White M2R. Chitinase was optimally active at pH of 5.0 and at $30^{\circ}C$. The enzyme was stable from pH 4 to 8, and up to $40^{\circ}C$. Among the metals and inhibitors that were tested, the $Hg^+$, $Hg^{2+}$, and p-chloromercuribenzoic acid completely inhibited the enzyme activity. The chitinase activity was high on colloidal chitin, chitotriose, and chitooligosaccharide. The purified chitinase showed antifungal activity against Botrytis cinerea, and lysozyme activity against the cell wall of Botrytis cinerea.

In this study, we isolated two novel chitinase producing bacterial strains from yellow loess samples collected from Jullanamdo province. The chitinase producing bacteria were isolated based on the zone size of clearance in the chitin agar plates. Both of them were gram positive, rod ($2{\sim}3{\times}0.3{\sim}0.4{\mu}m$), spore-forming, and motility positive. They were facultative anaerobic, catalase positive and hydrolyzed starch, gelatin, and casein. From the 16s rRNA gene sequence analysis, the isolates were labeled as Bacillus licheniformis KYLS-CU01 and B. licheniformis KYLS-CU02. The isolates showed higher extracellular chitinase activities than B. licheniformis ATCC 14580 as a control. The optimum temperature and pH for chitinase production were $40^{\circ}C$ and pH 7.0, respectively. Response Surface Methodology (RSM) was used to optimize the culture medium for efficient production of the chitinase. Under this optimal condition, 1.5 times higher chitinase activity of B. licheniformis KYLS-CU02 was obtained. Extracellular chitinases of the two isolates were purified through ammonium sulfate precipitation and anion-exchange DEAE-cellulose column chromatography. The specific activities of purified chitinase from B. licheniformis KYLS-CU01 and B. licheniformis KYLS-CU02 were 7.65 and 5.21 U/mg protein, respectively. The molecular weights of the two purified chitinases were 59 kDa. Further, the purified chitinase of B. licheniformis KYLS-CU01 showed high antifungal activity against Fusarium sp.. In conclusion, these two bacterial isolates can be used as a biopesticide to control pathogenic fungi.

근채류 식물의 근부원인이 되는 식물병원균 Fusarium solani의 생육을 강력히 길항하는 생물반제균 Pseudomonas stutzeri YPL-1을 모균주로 하여 UV나 NTG로 돌연변이시킴으로써 길항능이 증강된 강력한 생물방제균을 유전적으로 육종하고자 하였다. 그 결과 길항기작의 원인인 외막가수분해효소 chitinase 생산능이 2.5배, 2.0배 정도로 증강된, 동시에 길항능도 모균주에 비해 1.7배, 1.5배 정도로 비례해서 증강된, 강력한 우수 길항변이주 P.stutzeri YPL-M26(UV)과 P.stutzeri YPL-M178(NTG)을 유전적으로 육종할 수 있었다. 길항종강변이주에 의한 F.solani의 생육억제기작도 모균주에서와 같이 고분자 물질인 chitinase를 주로 하는 외막가수분해효소에 의한 것으로 확인되었고, 균사신장억제율도 조사해 본 결과 조효소액 첨가 경우 24시간째에는 모균주 경우 87.1 정도인데 비해 거의 100의 생육억제율을 나타내는 강력한 생물반제균으로 유전적 육종을 할 수 있었다. 한편 변이주와 모균주의 효소에서도 그 최적반응 pH등 각종 효소학적 특성이 동일하였다.

An antifungal chitinase, ChiCW, produced by Bacillus cereus 28-9 is effective against conidial germination of Botrytis elliptica, the causal agent of lily leaf blight. ChiCW as a modular enzyme consists of a signal peptide, a catalytic domain, a fibronectin type-III-like domain, and a chitin-binding domain. When two C-terminal domains of ChiCW were truncated, $ChiCW{\Delta}FC$ (lacking the chitin-binding domain and fibronectin type III-like domain) lost its antifungal activity. Since $ChiCW{\Delta}C$ (lacking the chitin-binding domain) could not be expressed in Escherichia coli as $ChiCW{\Delta}FC$ did, a different strategy based on protein engineering technology was designed to investigate the involvement of the chitin-binding domain of ChiCW ($ChBD_{ChiCW}$) in antifungal activity in this study. Because ChiA1 of Bacillus circulans WL-12 is a modular enzyme with a higher hydrolytic activity than ChiCW but not inhibitory to conidial germination of Bo. elliptica and the similar domain composition of ChiA1 and ChiCW, the C-terminal truncated derivatives of ChiA1 were generated and used to construct chimeric chitinases with $ChBD_{ChiCW}$. When the chitin-binding domain of ChiA1 was replaced with $ChBD_{ChiCW}$, the chimeric chitinase named ChiAAAW exhibited both high enzyme activity and antifungal activity. The results indicate that $ChBD_{ChiCW}$ may play an important role in the antifungal activity of ChiCW.

근채류식물의 근부원인이 되는 토양유래의 식물병원 성진균에 대한 생물학적 방제를 위하여 저병해인삼경작 지토양으로부터 식물근부균 Fusarium solani의 생육을 강력히 길항하는 억제세균 YPL-1을 분리, 선발하였으며 이들 동정한 결과 Pseudomonas stutzeri이거나 그 근연종으로 확인하였다. 선발된 P.stutzeri YPL-1에 의해 생산된 근부균생육억제물질은 열에 민감하고 고분자의 단백질물질로서 chitinase 및 laminarinase 등 F.solani의 외막가수분해효소인 것으로 추정된다. 더욱이 chitinase 생산능과 근부균생육억제능은 정관계로 비례한다는 것도 알았다. 이는 NTG를 이용하여 얻은 chitinase 및 laminarinase 생산불능변이주 P.stutzeri YPL-M122(chi-, lam-), P.stutzeri YPL-M153(chi-)에 의해서도 확인되었다. 그러나 본 P.stutzeri YPL-1은 siderophore를 전혀 생산하지는 못하였다. 이 결과로 미루어 보아 선발된 억제균 P.stutzeri YPL-1 균주에 의한 식물근부균 F.solani의 생육억제기작은 저분자물질인 항생물질이나 siderophore가 아닌 chitinase를 주로 하는 외막가수분해효소에 의한 근부균 F.solani의 세포벽분해에 기인된 것으로 생각된다.

Antagonistic Promicromonospora sp. KH-28 isolated from a suppressive soil could produced a chitinase and a antifungal antibiotic for the biocontrol ability. The chitinase and the antibiotic appeared to inhibit plant pathogens of Fusarium oxysporum. Phytophthora capsici, Alternaria kiki, fusarium solani, Stemphylium sp., and Psudomonas fluorescens. the antibiotic produced from the strain was identified as a antifungal substance of 503 dalton having a pyrimidine skeleton with an aliphatic side chain. The Promicromonospora sp. KH-28 was able to suppress effectively F. oxysporum derived-fusarium wilt of red-pepper plant in the pot in vivo test.
