Abstract
질산이온은 식물체의 주된 영양분중의 하나이며, 다수확을 위하여 자주 과량이 시용되고 있다. 이것은 토양중 질산이온이 집적되어 염류장애의 주된 이유가 되며, 유리 및 비닐 온실의 토양에서 심각한 문제가 될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 축산농가의 배수구 주위 젖은 토양으로 부터 6가지 미생물을 분리하였으며, 그들의 질산이온 흡수 활성을 측정하였다. 이 미생물들은 1,000-3,000 ppm (10-50 mM) 수준의 질산이온을 제거할 수 있었으며, 특히 PCE3 균주는 4,000 ppm으로 가장 높은 활성을 보였다. 이 균주들을 동정하기 위하여, 16S rRNA 유전자 서열을 결정하고 분석하였다. 이들 균주중 PCE3 균주는 Bacillus 속으로 확인되었다. 균주의 성장과 질산이온 흡수활성을 측정하였을 때, <TEX>$37^{\circ}C$</TEX>와 pH 7-9 범위에서 최대 값을 보였다. Bacillus sp. PCE3 균주는 배지의 질산이온 농도에 따라 40-60 mM (2,500-3,700 ppm)의 질산이온을 제거할 수 있었다. 그러므로, Bacillus sp. PCE3 균주는 질산이온이 집적한 시설원예 토양에서 질산이온 제거에 유용하게 이용될 수 있을 것이다. Nitrate is one of the major nutrients in plants, and nitrate fertilizer often overused for the high yields of crops. Nitrate deposit in soil became one of the major reasons causing salt stress. Specially, salt stress is a serious problem in the soils of plastic film or glass houses. In this study, six microorganisms have been isolated from the wet soils near the disposals of livestock farms and their nitrate uptake activities were investigated. These bacteria were able to remove nitrate as high as 1,000-3,000 ppm (10-50 mM). The strain PCE3 showed the highest nitrate uptake activity and it removed more than 3,700 ppm. In order to identify these bacteria, genes of 16S rRNA were sequenced and analyzed. Phylogenetic trees were constructed with the neighbor-joining methods. Among these bacteria, strain PCE3 was identified as Bacillus species. When the growth and nitrate uptake activities were measured, both were maximal at <TEX>$37^{\circ}C$</TEX> and optimal pH was pH 7-9. Bacillus sp. PCE3 removed nitrate up to 40-60 mM (2,500-3,700 ppm) depending on the nitrate concentration in media. Therefore, Bacillus sp. PCE3 can be a good candidate for the microbial remediation of nitrate-deposited soils in glass and plastic film houses.
