The fungal strain SW-3 having antimicrobial activity was isolated from soil of crucified plants in Pocheon, Kyungki-Do, Korea. Strain SW-3 was identified as Alternaria brassicicola by its morphological characteristics, and confirmed by the analysis of the 18S gene and ITS regions of rDNA. The fungus showed a similarity of 99% with Alternaria brassicicola in the 18S rDNA sequence analysis. A. brassicicola has been reported to produce an antitumor compound, called depudecin. We found that strain SW-3 produced antimicrobial metabolites, in addition to depudecin, during sporulation under different growth conditions. The metabolite of the isolated fungus was found to have strong antifungal activity against Microsporium canis and Trichophyton rubrum, and antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aerogenes. The amount and kind of metabolites produced by the isolate were affected by growth conditions such as nutrients and growth periods.

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.

During the screening of antifungal compounds from microbial secondary metabolites to control phytophthora blight of red pepper caused by Phytophthora capsici, a soil isolate, strain 38D10 was selected. Based on taxonomic studies, this strain was identified as Streptomyces neyagawaensis. The antifungal compound was purified from culture broth by HP-20 column chromatography, ethyl acetate extraction, silica gel column chromatography, HPLC and identified as concanamycin B by UV. $^1H$-NMR, $^{13}C$-NMR, SIMS analysis. Concanamycin B has strong antifungal activity against some phytopathogenic fungi but not antivacterial activity and preventive value were 50% and 100% at 125ppm and 250ppm in pot assay.

During the screening of antifungal antibiotics from microbial metabolites, we selected Pseudomonas aeruginosa KGM-100 showing powerful antagonistic activity against various phytopathogenic fungi. Antibiotics KGM-100A and KGM-100B were purified from the culture broth of Pseudomonas aeruginosa KGM-100 by diaion HP-20 column chromatography, ethyl acetate extraction, silica gel column chromatography, preparative TLC and recrystallization. KGM-100A which was recrystallized in MeOH showed antimicrobial activities against a broad spectrum of fungi and bacteria. Physico-chemical properties of KGM-100A were determined and identified to be phenazine-l-carboxylic acid by UV, IR, $^{1}$H-NMR, $^{13}$C-NMR, mass spectrum, and elemental analyses.

제주도 서귀포의 해변에서 채집한 해양퇴적물로부터 Myxococcus속의 점액세균 JW154를 분리하여 그 대사산물로부터 강한 항균활성을 나타내는 두 개의 bithiazole계 화합물을 분리하고 각종 기기분석을 통하여 구조를 확인한 바, 이들은 각각 KR025와 melithiazole F로 보고된 화합물임을 밝혔다. 유묘 검정법으로 조사된 이 화합물의 주요 식물병원균에 대한 in vivo 항균활성은 토마토 역병과 밀 녹병 및 보리 흰가루병에 대해 높게 나타났는데, 20$\mu\textrm{g}$/m1 수준으로 처리하였을 때 80% 이상의 높은 방제가를 보였다.

The trichothecenes are a chemically related sesquiterpenoid fungal metabolites of Fusarium, Trichoderma, Stachybotrys and others, and at moment more than 70 kinds of derivatives are identified. Historically, they are identified as antifungal and phytotoxic compounds, but after the finding of T-2 toxin from Fusarium tricinctum, several trichothecenes are now considered to be natural toxicants in foodstuffs and feeds.

Since ancient times, plants have been a major source of novel drug molecules and have been used in the treatment of different infectious diseases. Secondary plant metabolites have miraculous healing properties and show potent therapeutic responses when used in combination drug therapy. The prime objective of this review is to summarize the concept of drug combination with special emphasis on the synergistic interactions between plant-derived bioactive phytochemicals with commercially available antimicrobial agents. The study also assesses the roles, importance, and applicability of phytochemicals in the management of different diseases. The review focuses on different aspects of combined antimicrobial activities, the possible mechanisms involved, and the current status of research in the field. The study was conducted based on an extensive literature survey that resulted in the following hypothesis: secondary metabolites derived from plants possess remarkable therapeutic activities. The study was designed as a systematic review that ensures unbiased and accurate representations of the relevant data and information. Jadad scale selection criteria were used for qualitative analysis of the articles to assess them based on the relevant secure score (minimum and maximum scores range between 1 and 5, respectively). Articles with secure scores > 3 were considered for the study. A comprehensive literature survey was conducted using resource databases including PubMed, Google Scholar, Bielefeld Academic Search Engine, Research Gate, Scopus, Medline, and Science Direct up to June 2019. This article contains concise information about the most commonly used bioactive phytochemicals with potent antifungal and antibacterial effects.

A total of 187 endophytic fungi were isolated from 11 plant species, which were collected from 11 locations in Korea. Their antifungal activities were screened in vivo by antifungal bioassays after they were cultured in potato dextrose broth and rice solid media. Antifungal activity against plant pathogenic fungi such as Magnaporthe grisea(rice blast), Corticium sasaki(rice sheath blight), Botrytis cinerea(tomato gray mold), Phytophthora infestans(tomato late blight), Puccinia recondita(wheat leaf rust), and Blumeria graminis f. sp. hordei(barley powdery mildew) was determined in vivo by observing the inhibition of plant disease development. Twenty(11.7%) endophytic fungi fermentation broths were able to control, by more than 90%, at least one of the six plant diseases tested. Among 187 liquid broths, the F0010 strain isolated from Abies holophylla had the most potent disease control activity; it showed control values of more than 90% against five plant diseases, except for tomato late blight. On the other hand, fourteen(7.5%) solid culture extracts exhibited potent disease control values of more than 90% against one of six plant diseases. The screening results of this study strongly suggested that metabolites of plant endophytic fungi could be good potential sources for screening programs of bioactive natural products.

붉은곰팡이병은 주로 Fusarium graminearum에 의해 발생하며 전세계적으로 주요 곡물에 치명적인 피해를 주는 식물병이다. 관행농가에서는 일반적으로 붉은곰팡이병 방제에 합성살균제를 사용하고 있지만 장기적인 합성살균제의 사용으로 인하여 환경 오염 문제와 인간의 건강을 위협하는 문제가 야기되었다. 때문에 천연물살균제를 포함한 친환경 생물농약 개발에 대한 관심이 고조되고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 100종의 식물추출물을 이용하여 F. graminearum에 항진균 활성을 갖는 식물 추출물을 탐색하였다. 그 결과 자단 심재부인 자단향의 조추출물이 가장 강한 항진균활성을 보였으며, GC-MS 분석을 통하여 자단향으로부터 ${\alpha}$-cedrol과 widdrol로 동정된 두개의 항진균 활성물질을 분리하였다. ${\alpha}$-Cedrol과 widdrol의 F. graminearum 포자발아 억제활성 최소저해농도는 각각 31.25 mg/l과 62.5 mg/l였으며, 이 두 물질은 F. graminearum 이외에도 다양한 식물병원균의 균사 생육을 저해하였다. 더욱이 자단향 추출물을 분말 수화제로 제형화하여 처리한 결과, 밀 붉은 곰팡이병에 대한 방제효과는 유효성분 농도가 높을수록 효과적인 방제가를 보였으며, 250배 희석처리 시 2,000배의 상용농도로 희석한 합성살균제의 방제가(92.6%)와 통계적으로 유사한 87.2%의 병방제가를 보였다. 본 연구결과는 붉은곰팡이병방제를 위한 효과적인 생물살균제로 자단향 추출물이 활용 가능하다는 것을 제시하고 있다.
