Background: It is estimated that 20-30% of ginseng crops in Canada are lost to root rot each harvest. This disease is commonly caused by fungal infection with Ilyonectria, previously known as Cylindrocarpon. Previous reports have linked the virulence of fungal disease to the production of siderophores, a class of small-molecule iron chelators. However, these siderophores have not been identified in Ilyonectria. Methods: High-resolution LC-MS/MS was used to screen Ilyonectria and Cylindrocarpon strain extracts for secondary metabolite production. These strains were also tested for their ability to cause root rot in American ginseng and categorized as virulent or avirulent. The differences in detected metabolites between the virulent and avirulent strains were compared with a focus on siderophores. Results: For the first time, a siderophore N,N',N"-triacetylfusarinine C (TAFC) has been identified in Ilyonectria, and it appears to be linked to disease virulence. Siderophore production was suppressed as the concentration of iron increased, which is in agreement with previous reports. Conclusion: The identification of the siderophore produced by Ilyonectria gives us further insight into the root rot disease that heavily affects ginseng crop yields. This research identifies a molecular pathway previously unknown for ginseng root rot and could lead to new disease treatment options.

S. Typhimurium SL1344는 성장을 위한 보조인자로 무기철이 요구된다. 철 킬레이트제인 ethylenediamine di-o-hydroxyphenylactic acid (EDDA)가 첨가 된 M9 최소배지에서 S. Typhimurium은 성장에 있어 철 이용이 완전하게 억제된다. 하지만, 세균이나 곰팡이와 같은 미생물들은 철이 부족한 환경에서 제한된 철을 이용하기 위해 사이드로포어를 생산한다. 사람에서 유래한 트랜스페린(hTf)-철 복합체를 M9 배지에 첨가한 조건에서 S. Typhimurium의 사이드로포어 생산은 완전하게 중단되었다. 반면, S. Typhimurium의 성장은 염화철($FeCl_3$)을 첨가한 조건과 동일한 수준으로 유지되었다. 이 결과는 사이드로포어의 생산 없이도 S. Typhimurium이 hTf에 부착된 철을 직접적으로 이용할 수 있다는 것을 알 수 있다. 돌연변이주의 구축과 이를 이용한 분석을 통하여 우리는 세균이 hTf-철 복합체를 직접적으로 이용할 수 있다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

Since there could be more and rather various diazotrophs in rhizosphere of wild crops than those in rhizosphere of cultivars, some wild gramineous crops grown in Korea were collected for isolating nitrogen-fixing bacteria. Six diazotrophs were purified from their roots using nitrogen-free media. The isolated bacteria were partially identified as 4 genera by 16S rDNA sequence analysis: Stenotrophomonas sp., Bosea sp., Klebsiella sp., and Azorhizobium sp. By PCR amplification and sequence analysis, DNA fragments extracted from all isolates turned out to have an individual nifH homologous gene. Five isolates (KNUC163, KNUC165, KNUC169, KNUC170, and KNUC171) showed auxin activity and four isolates (KNUC163, KNUC166, KNUC170, and KNUC171) produced siderophores. Especially,3 strains of S. maltophilia showed both auxin and siderophore activities. In conclusion, the isolated nitrogen-fixing bacteria might have capabilities for plant growth promotion.

Plant growth-promoting (PGP) bacteria can be used as bioresources to enhance phytoremediation through their PGP traits and pollutant removal capacity. In this study, 49 rhizobacteria were primarily isolated from the rhizosphere of tall fescue grown in diesel- and heavy metal-contaminated soil. Their biosurfactant production, phosphate (P) solubilization, and siderophore production were qualitatively and quantitatively evaluated to identify superior PGP bacteria. The optimal conditions for the growth of PGP bacteria and the stability of their PGP traits were a temperature of 35℃, a pH of 7, and 2 days of cultivation time. Four superior PGP bacteria (Pseudomonas sp. NL3, Bacillus sp. NL6, Bacillus sp. LBY14, and Priestia sp. TSY6) were finally selected. Pseudomonas sp. NL3 exhibited superior biosurfactant production and P solubilization. Bacillus sp. NL6 showed the highest P solubilization and superior production of biosurfactants and siderophores. Bacillus sp. LBY14 offered the best siderophore production and impressive P solubilization. Priestia sp. TSY6 had superior capacity for all three PGP traits. Through their secretion of beneficial PGP metabolites, the four bacteria isolated in this study have the potential for use in the phytoremediation of contaminated soil.

다양한 난개발과 해안도로, 방파제 등의 인공 구조물 설치로 인한 해안 침식과 해안선 파괴 등으로 해안사구가 크게 훼손되고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 해안사구에서 서식하고 있는 토착식물의 근권으로부터 식물 성장 촉진 능력이 있으면서 동시에 염분에 강한 내성을 가지는 근권세균의 library를 구축하였고, 이들 균주를 대상으로 식물 성장 촉진 능력을 평가하였다. 또한, 내염성 식물을 대상으로 사구 토양에서의 성장률에 근권세균이 미치는 영향을 평가한 후, 훼손된 사구의 복원에 가장 유용한 미생물을 선별하고 분리된 근권세균이 식물 성장에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. 실험은 선정된 균주와 갯기름나물과 줄무늬갈대를 해안사구에 식재한 후 성장에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. 그 결과, MH1RS1는 (IAA) production, siderophores, 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate deaminase (ACC deaminase) 그리고 염분내성을 가지고 있다. 갯기름나물의 경우는 줄기의 길이와 뿌리의 무게는 크게 향상되었다. 특히, 줄기의 생체와 뿌리 무게는 control과 비교했을 때 25% 성장이 향상되었다. 줄무늬 갈대는 Bacillus aerius MH1RS1 에 의해 초장은 18%와 뿌리의 생체 중은 20%로 크게 향상 되었다.

Endophytic bacteria associated with the roots of coastal sand dune plants were isolated, taxonomically characterized, and tested for their plant growth-promoting activities. Ninety-one endophytic bacterial isolates were collected and assigned to 17 different genera of 6 major bacterial phyla based on partial 16S rDNA sequence analyses. Gammaproteobacteria represented the majority of the isolates (65.9%), and members of Pseudomonas constituted 49.5% of the total isolates. When testing for antagonism towards plant pathogenic fungi, 25 strains were antagonistic towards Rhizoctonia solani, 57 strains were antagonistic towards Pythium ultimum, 53 strains were antagonistic towards Fusarium oxysporum, and 41 strains were antagonistic towards Botrytis cinerea. Seven strains were shown to produce indole acetic acid (IAA), 33 to produce siderophores, 23 to produce protease, 37 to produce pectinase, and 38 to produce chitinase. The broadest spectra of activities were observed among the Pseudomonas strains, indicating outstanding plant growth-promoting potential. The isolates from C. kobomugi and M. sibirica also exhibited good plant growth-promoting potential. The correlations among individual plant growth-promoting activities were examined using phi coefficients, and the resulting data indicated that the production of protease, pectinase, chitinase, and siderophores was highly related.

The promoter region of the pupA gene of Pseudomonas putida WCS358 was fused with the structural genes for bioluminescence (luxCDABE) from Vibrio fischeri, and the resulting fusion plasmid harbored by the WCS358 host. The pup-lux fusion gene was then used for quantitative analysis of the iron-dependence of pupA promoter activity. Factors affecting bioluminescence produced by the pup-lux bioreporter were found to be cell activity, iron-chelator concentrations, Fe(III) concentrations, and nutrient components. Light production rates of the pup-lux bioreporter were inversely dependent upon iron molecules when $FeCl_3$ concentrations were between $10^{-2}$ and 1 ${\mu}M$ in nutrient-poor minimal media, and between 0.1 and 10 mM in nutrient-rich complex media.

Phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB) were isolated from the rhizosphere of Chinese cabbage and screened on the basis of their solubilization of inorganic tricalcium phosphate in liquid cultures. Ten strains that had higher solubilization potential were selected, and they also produced indole-3-acetic acid, 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) deaminase, and siderophores. The strains were identified to be members of Pseudomonas, by 16S rDNA sequence analysis. Seed bacterization with PSB strains increased the root elongation and biomass of Chinese cabbage in seedling culture, although they had no effect on phosphorus uptake of plants. The plant growth promotion by PSB in this study could be due to the production of phytohormones or mechanisms other than phosphate solubilization, since they had no effect on P nutrition.
