  • Rhizobium and related genera are soil bacteria with great metabolic plasticity. These microorganisms survive in many different environments and are capable of eliciting the formation of nitrogen-fixing nodules on legumes. The successful establishment of symbiosis is precisely regulated and requires a series of signal exchanges between the two partners. Quorum sensing (QS) is a prevalent form of population density-dependent gene regulation. Recently, increasing evidence indicates that rhizobial quorum sensing provides a pervasive regulatory network, which plays a more generalized role in the physiological activity of free-living rhizobia, as well as during symbiosis. Several rhizobia utilize multiple, overlapping quorum sensing systems to regulate diverse properties, including conjugal transfer and copy number control of plasmids, exopolysaccharide biosynthesis, rhizosphere-related functions, and cell growth. Genomic and proteomic analyses have begun to reveal the wide range of functions under quorum-sensing control.

  • Dynamics of certain $N_2$fixing bacteria such as Rhizobium, Azospirillum and Azotobactor, nodule number in dominant legume, Atylosia trinervia, P-solubilizing bacteria, actinomycetes and fungi were studied in unburned and burned site of natural grassland, southern India. Population of $N_2$- fixing bacteria, P-solubilizing bacteria, fungi and nodule number in legume increased significantly in burned sites. On the other hand, the actinomycetes population remained unchanged. Thirty six species of fungi with tricalcium phosphate solubilizing ability were recorded. The most efficient P-solubilizing fungi recognised in the soils of the study sites are Absidia ramosa, Gongronella butlerii, Mortieralla spinosa, Mucor racemosus, Rhizopus nigricans, R. stolonifer, R. oryzae, Aspergillus fumigatus, A. nidulans, A. niger Theilavia terricola and Cheatomium lunasporium.

  • In order to investigate the indigenous prokaryotic species diversity of the Nakdong River system in Korea, fresh water samples from Hapcheonho Lake and Jinyangho Lake were analyzed for bacterial taxonomic diversity. The isolated bacterial strains were identified based on 16S rRNA gene sequences, and those exhibiting at least 98.7% sequence similarity with known bacterial species, but never reported in Korea, were selected as unrecorded species. Eleven unrecorded bacterial species were discovered in this study. The isolates were identified as Aquabacterium citratiphilum, Clostridium ghonii, Curvibacter delicates, Deinococcus depolymerans, Eubacterium moniliforme, Flavobacterium nitrogenifigens, Kineosporia mesophila, Luteibacter jiangsuensis, Microbacterium terricola, Rhizobium larrymoorei, and Sediminicoccus rosea belonging to the phyla Actinobacteria, Bacteroidetes, Firmicutes, Proteobacteria and Deinococcus-Thermus. The selected isolates were further characterized for cellular and colonial morphologies, growth conditions, physiological properties, and enzymatic activities. Descriptive information of these previously unrecorded species is also provided.

  • Legume plants develop root nodules to recruit nitrogen-fixing bacteria called rhizobia. This symbiotic relationship allows the host plants to grow even under nitrogen limiting environment. Since nodule development is an energetically expensive process, the number of nodules should be tightly controlled by the host plants. For this purpose, legume plants utilize a long-distance signaling known as autoregulation of nodulation (AON). AON signaling in legumes has been extensively studied over decades but the underlying molecular mechanism had been largely unclear until recently. With the advent of the model legumes, L. japonicus and M. truncatula, we have been seeing a great progress including isolation of the AON-associated receptor kinase. Here, we summarize recent studies on AON and discuss an updated view of the long-distance control of nodulation.

  • Microbial diversity in decaying maize stalk was characterized by constructing and analyzing rRNA gene clone library. Total 47 OTUs were obtained from 82 bacterial clones, including Proteobacteria (64.6%), Actinobacteria (30.5%), Bacteroidetes (2.4%) and Firmicutes (2.4%). Most proteobacterial clones were members of Rhizobium, Pseudomonas and Stenotrophomonas. Eighty-four percent of Actinobacteria was related to Microbacterium. Only 14 OTUs were identified from 124 fungal clones, including Ascomycota (88%) and Basidiomycota (12%). Sixty percent of Ascomycota were members of Eupenicillium and Paecilomyces but all Basidiomycota were close to Kurtzmanomyces nectairei.

  • 항암, 항산화, 항균 활성을 나타내는 9종의 약용식물을 이용하여 포도나무 줄기혹병의 억제효과를 조사하였다. 공시한 식물 중에서 개똥쑥(15mm), 맨드라미의 꽃(27mm)과 잎(13mm), 여주의 미성숙 열매(22mm), 상사화 꽃(7mm), 질경이의 꽃(14mm)과 종자(16mm), 초석잠의 뿌리(13mm), 복숭아 나무의 수지(10mm) 추출물 등이 줄기혹병균(Rhizobium vitis)에 대해 항균활성을 나타내었다. 항균활성의 분획물의 최소억제농도를 확인한 결과 개똥쑥, 맨드라미 잎, 여주 미성숙과 분획물은 각각 50,000배, 질경이 꽃 분획물은 10,000배 희석액이 최소억제농도(MIC)로 확인되었다. 개똥쑥, 맨드라미 꽃과 잎, 여주의 미성숙 열매 추출물의 항균활성물질을 column chromatography와 thin layer chromatography(TLC)를 통하여 분획하였다. 핵산/에틸아세테이트와 메탄올/클로로포름(20:80, v/v)으로 전개한 TLC 분석에서 개똥쑥 추출물에서는 Rf 0.36, 0.69, 0.75, 0.84, 0.94, 맨드라미 꽃 추출물은 Rf 0.96, 0.99, 맨드라미 잎 추출물은 Rf 0.92, 0.97, 여주의 미성숙열매 추출물은 Rf 0.85에서 항균 활성의 분획을 획득하였다. 개똥쑥, 맨드라미 잎, 여주 미성숙 열매 추출물을 물에 희석(500, 1,000, 2,000배)하고 온실에서 R.vitis를 접종한 '거봉' 식물체에 7일 간격으로 관수한 결과, 개똥쑥 희석액은 100%, 맨드라미 잎 추출물(500배 희석액)은 67%, 여주 미성숙 열매 추출물(500배 희석액)은 83.3%의 억제효과를 나타내었다. 이러한 연구 결과는 약용식물 추출물이 포도나무 줄기혹병을 방제할 수 있는 친환경 제제로서의 적용가능성을 제시한 것이라 할 수 있다.
