Abstract

전라남도 영남지역의 감나무 줄기로부터 다양한 식물병에 대해 방제 효과를 보이는 세균을 분리하였다. 분리균주는 16S rRNA sequencing의 방법을 이용하여 동정한 결과 B. subtilis로 동정되었으며, B. subtilis GDYA-1로 명명하였다. In vivo 생물검정에서 GDYA-1 액체 배양액은 벼 도열병, 토마토 역병 및 밀 붉은녹병에 항균 활성을 보였다. 액체 배양액으로부터 한 개의 항균물질을 분리하였으며, 질량분석과 핵자기공명분석을 통해 분리한 물질은 benzoic acid로 동정되었다. Benzoic acid는 M. oryzae, R. solani, S. sclerotiorum 및 P. capsici의 균사생육을 62.5-125 <TEX>${\mu}g/ml$</TEX>에서 완전히 억제하였다. 또한 benzoic acid는 고추 역병을 효과적으로 방제하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서 benzoic acid의 식물병원성곰팡이에 대한 항균활성을 처음으로 보고하는 바이다. Benzoic acid와 B. subtilis GDYA-1는 식물병원성곰팡이로부터 작물을 친환경적으로 보호하는데 기여할 것으로 기대된다. A bacterial strain antagonistic to some fungal phytopathogens was isolated from the stem of a Persimmon tree in Yeongam, Korea. This bacterium was identified as Bacillus subtilis by 16S rRNA gene sequencing and designated as B. subtilis GDYA-1. In in vivo experiment, the fermentation broth exhibited antifungal activities against Magnaporthe oryzae on rice plants, Phytophthora infestans on tomato plants, and Puccinia recondita on wheat plants. We isolated one antifungal compound and its chemical structure was determined by mass and <TEX>$^1H$</TEX>-NMR spectral data. The antifungal substance was identified as benzoic acid. It inhibited mycelial growth of M. oryzae, Rhizoctonia solani, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, and P. capsici with minimum inhibition concentration (MIC) values, ranging from 62.5 to 125 <TEX>${\mu}g/ml$</TEX>. Moreover, the substance effectively suppressed Phytophthora blight of red pepper caused by P. capsici in a pot experiment. To the author's knowledge, this is the first report on the antifungal activity of benzoic acid against phytopathogenic fungi. Benzoic acid and B. subtilis GDYA-1 may contribute to environmental-friendly protect crops from phytopathogenic fungi.
