Abstract
순천대학교 지의류 은행(Lichen Bioresources Center)에서 571종의 지의류 내생 곰팡이를 분양받아 Candida albicans에 대한 항진균 활성을 조사하여 4종을 선정하였다. 선정된 4종의 지의류 내생 곰팡이의 배양액 내에 존재하는 항진균 활성을 알아보기 위해 disc diffusion method 방법을 이용한 결과 Stereocaulon sp. (1429,1430)가 C. albicans에 대한 항진균 활성이 가장 좋았으며, 다음으로는 Graphis sp. (1245), Cryptosporiopsis diversispora (0156) 순으로 활성이 좋게 나타났으며, 이들 지의류 내생곰팡이가 고체배지와 액체배지에서도 항진균 활성 물질을 생성하였다. 고체배지에서와 액체배지에서 공통적으로 활성이 있는 지의류 내생 곰팡이 배양액의 chloroform, ethyl acetate 용매 추출물의 C. albicans의 항진균 활성도를 측정한 결과 4종 모두 chloroform 추출물에서 높은 활성도를 나타냈다. Candida albicans, Candida glabrata, Candida tropicalis, Candida lusitaniae에 대한 항진균 활성은 Stereocaulon sp. (1429, 1430)의 chloroform 추출물에서 모두 98% 이상의 높은 저해율을 보였고 Stereocaulon sp. (1429) 배양액의 chloroform 추출액과 ethyl acetate 추출액을 GC/MS를 이용해 성분을 분석한 결과 hexadecanonic acid-methyl ester, 14-octadecenoic acid-methyl ester, octadecenoic acid-methyl ester가 새로운 항진균 물질일 가능성을 보여주었다. To isolate a novel antifungal compound, we obtained 571 kinds of endolichenic fungi from Lichen Bioresources Center and examined their antifungal abilities. Four fungi Stereocaulon sp. (1429), Stereocaulon sp. (1430), Cryptosporiopsis sp. (0156), and Graphis sp. (1245) showed high antifungal activity against Candida albicans when they grew in both liquid and solid media. We extracted the culture supernatants of these fungi with chloroform and then ethyl acetate. The chloroform fraction exhibited the highest anti-fungal activities when those fractions were examined for the growth inhibition of Candida albicans with disc diffusion method. To see information for the inhibitor present in chloroform fraction we employed GC-MS for the fractions of Stereocaulon sp. (1429). We found that hexamethylcyclotrisiloxane, decanoic acid, hexadecanonic acid-methyl ester, 14-octadecenoic acid-methyl ester, and octadecenoic acid-methyl ester were present more in chloroform fraction than in ethylacetate fraction. This indicates that those compounds could be possible antifungal candidates since antifungal activity of chloroform extract was two times higher than that of ethyl acetate extract.
