대한민국 대천 해수로부터 agarase를 생산하는 균주 H9을 분리하였다. 본 균주는 16S rRNA 염기 염기서열 분석결과로부터 Pseudoalteromonas espejiana NCIMB2127^T (98.98%), Pseudoalteromonas carrageenovora ATCC12662^T (98.78%), Pseudoalteromonas atlantica IAM12927^T (98.64%), Pseudoalteromonas issachenkonii KMM3549^T (98.63%) 등과 높은 상동성을 보였다. 균주 H9은 genomic DNA 내 G+C 농도가 41.56%이고 주요 퀴논으로 quinone-8을 포함하고 있다. 균주 H9의 주요 지방산으로 C_16:1ω7c (34.3%), C_16:0 (23.72%), C_18:1ω7c (13.64%) 등이 포함되었다. 이러한 유전적, 생리적 특성에 따라 균주 H9은 Pseudoalteromonas 속의 균으로 분류하여 Pseudoalteromonas sp. H9으로 명명하였다. 균주 H9이 세포외부로 분비하는 총 agarase는 40-45℃와 pH 7.0-8.0의 조건에서 높은 효소 활성을 갖으며, agarose를 분해하여 (neo)agarotetraose와 (neo)agarohexaose를 생산하였다. 균주 H9은 한천분해를 위해 유용하게 사용될 수 있으며, 다양한 생리활성을 갖는 (neo)agarooligosaccharide는 기능성 식품, 화장품 등의 산업에 유용하게 사용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. An agarolytic marine bacterium (H9) was isolated from the coastal seawater of the West Sea, South Korea. The isolate, H9, was gram-negative and rod-shaped with a smooth surface and polar flagellum. Cells grew at 20-30℃, between pH 5.0 and 9.0, and in ASW-YP (Artificial Sea Water-Yeast extract, Peptone) media containing 1-5% (w/v) NaCl. The G+C content was 41.56 mol%. The predominant isoprenoid quinone in strain H9 was ubiquinone-8. The major fatty acids (>10%) were C_16:1ω7c (34.3%), C_16:0 (23.72%), and C_18:1ω7c (13.64%). Based on 16S rRNA gene sequencing, and biochemical and chemotaxonomic characterization, the strain was designated as Pseudoalteromonas sp. H9 (=KCTC23887). In liquid culture supplemented with 0.2% agar, the cell density and agarase activity reached a maximum level of OD = 4.32 (48 h) and OD = 3.87 (24 h), respectively. The optimum pH and temperature for the extracellular crude agarases of H9 were 7.0 and 40℃, respectively. Thin-layer chromatography analysis of the agarase hydrolysis products revealed that the crude agarases hydrolyze agarose into neoagarotetraose and neoagarohexaose. Therefore, the new agar-degrading strain, H9, can be applicable for the production of valuable neoagarooligosaccharides and for the complete degradation of agar in bio-industries.

대한민국 동해안 울진 앞 바닷물로부터 50-C로 명명한 해양 미생물을 분리하였다. 50-C 균주는 그람-음성, 호기성 세균이며, 노란색 집락을 형성하고, 극성편모를 갖는 박테리아이다. 이 균주는 $20-50^{\circ}C$, pH 5.5-8.5 범위에서 자라며, 비교적 고온인 $40-50^{\circ}C$, pH 6.5-7.5, 2% (w/v) NaCl에서 최적 성장을 보인다. 16S rRNA 유전자 서열 분석결과 50C-3 균주는 Ruegeria 속에 속하는 R. intermedia CC-GIMAT-$2^T$, R. lacuscaerulensis ITI-$1157^T$의 16S rRNA 유전자 서열과 각각 99.4%, 96.98% 상동성을 보였다. 그러나 50C-3 균주는 운동성, 탄소이용능력, 효소생산능력 등의 생리학적 특성에서 두 균주와는 명확히 다른 특성을 보였다. 50C-3 균주의 DNA G+C content는 66.7 mol%이고, 주요한 respiratory quinone은 ubiquinone-10 (Q-10)이었다. 이와 같은 형태학적, 생리학적, 유전학적 특성을 비교하여, 50C-3 균주는 R. intermedia CC-GIMAT-$2^T$와 같은 종에 속하는 새로운 변종으로 판단되며 Ruegeria sp. 50C-3으로 명명하였다(KCTC23890 =DSM25519). 50C-3 균주는 cellulase, agarase 활성은 없었지만, alkaline phosphatase, ${\alpha}$-galactosidase, ${\beta}$-galactosidase를 생산하였고 이들 모두 $50^{\circ}C$ 에서도 활성이 좋은 내열성 효소일 것으로 판단되었다. 특히, ${\beta}$-galactosidase의 경우 $37^{\circ}C$에서 보다 $50^{\circ}C$에서의 활성이 1.9배 증가하여 산업적으로 활용성이 클 것으로 예상된다. A marine bacterium, designated as strain 50C-3, was isolated from a seawater sample collected from the East Sea of South Korea. The strain is a Gram-negative, aerobic, yellow colored polar-flagellated bacterium that grows at $20-50^{\circ}C$ and pH 5.5-8.5. Optimal growth occurred at $40-50^{\circ}C$, at pH 6.5-7.5, and in the presence of 2% (w/v) NaCl. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, the isolate was considered to represent a member of the genus Ruegeria. The result of this analysis showed that strain 50C-3 shared 99.4% and 96.98% sequence similarity with Ruegeria intermedia CC-GIMAT-$2^T$ and Ruegeria lacuscaerulensis ITI-$1157^T$, respectively. Furthermore, strain 50C-3 showed clear differences from related strains in terms of several characteristics such as motility, carbon utilization, enzyme production, etc. The DNA G+C content was 66.7 mol%. Chemotaxonomic analysis indicated ubiquinone-10 (Q-10) as the predominant respiratory quinone. Based on phenotypic, chemotaxonomic, and phylogenetic characteristics, the isolate represents a novel variant of the Ruegeria intermedia CC-GIMAT-$2^T$, for which we named Ruegeria sp. 50C-3 (KCTC23890=DSM25519). Strain 50C-3 did not produce cellulase and agarase, but produced alkaline phosphatase, ${\alpha}$-galactosidase, and ${\beta}$-galactosidase. The three enzymes showed stable activities even at $50^{\circ}C$ and thus regarded as thermostable enzymes. Especially, the ${\beta}$-galactosidase activity enhanced by 1.9 times at $50^{\circ}C$ than that at $37^{\circ}C$, which may be very useful for industrial application.

지원재,김미순,김종희,강대경,홍순광,Chi Won-Jae,Kim Mi-Soon,Kim Jong-Hee,Kang Dae-Kyung,Hong Soon-Kwang 한국미생물학회 2005 미생물학회지 Vol.41 No.4

Streptomyces griseus trypsin(SGT)을 코드하는 sprT 유전자를 포함하여 약 6.7 kb의 DNA 단편을 Streptomyces griseus ATCC 10137의 염색체 DNA로부터 클로닝 하여 염기서열을 결정하였다. 염기서열 분석 결과, 염색체 DNA를 EcoRI-HindIII 제한효소로 완전 분해하여 클로닝한 약6.7 kb의 단편에는 sprT유전자를 포함하여 총6개의 완전한 ORF (open reading frame)와 1개의 불완전한 ORF가 존재하는 것으로 밝혀졌으며, 순서대로 ORF1, SGT, ORF2, ORF3, ORF4, ORF5, ORF6로 명명하였다. 예상 단백질의 아미노산 서열 분석 결과, ORF1은 oxidoreductase, ORF3는 ArsR family의 transcription regulator, ORF4는 Listeria monocytogenes의 LPXTG motif를 갖는 peptidoglycan bound protein, ORF5는 transmembrane helix를 갖는 막단백질, ORF6는 Streptomyces avermitilis에서 보고된 lipoprotein과 높은 상동성을 보였으며, ORF2는 기능을 예측 할 수 없었다. 이와 같은 분석결과, sprT 유전자 주위에는 세포막이나 세포벽 구성성분을 코드하는 유전자가 존재하고 있으며, 따라서 SGT Pretense는 이러한 세포막 또는 세포벽 합성이나 분해과정에서 어떤 기능을 담당할 가능성 이 있는 것으로 추측되었다. A 6.7kb DNA fragment containing the sprT gene encoding Streptomyces griseus trypsin (SGT) was cloned from Streptomyces griseus ATCC 10137, and the complete nucleotide sequence was determined. Nucleotide sequence and deduced amino acid or the EcoRI-HindIII fragment revealed the presence or the six complete ORFs containing the sprT gene and one incomplete ORF, which were named ORF1, SGT, ORF2, ORF3, ORF4, ORF5, and ORF6, respectively. ORF1 has homology with the oxidoreductases from several organisms. ORF2 and ORF3 show similarity with unknown proteins and transcription regulator that belongs to the ArsR family, respectively. ORF4 and ORF5 show homology with the peptidoglycan bound protein with LPXTG motif from Listeria monocytogenes and the membrane protein with transmembrane helix from several organisms, respectively. The last ORF, ORF6, shows homology with the lipoprotein from Streptomyces avermitilis.

지원재 ( Won Jae Chi ),임주현 ( Ju Hyeon Lim ),박다연 ( Da Yeon Park ),김무찬 ( Mu Chan Kim ),김창준 ( Chang Joon Kim ),장용근 ( Yong Keun Chang ),홍순광 ( Soon Kwang Hong ) 한국미생물생명공학회(구 한국산업미생물학회) 2013 한국미생물·생명공학회지 Vol.41 No.1

An agar-hydrolyzing marine bacterium, strain GNUM08120, was isolated from Sargassum fulvellum collected from Yeongil bay of East Sea of Korea. The isolate was Gram-negative, aerobic, motile with single polar flagellum, and grew at 1-10% NaCl, pH 5.0-8.0, and 15-37oC. G+C content and the predominant respiratory quinone were 46.13 mol% and Q-8, respectively. The major cellular fatty acids were Summed feature 3 (24.5%), C16:0 (21.7%), and C18:1ω7c (12.5%). Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity and DNA-DNA hybridization analyses, strain GNUM08120 was identified as a novel subspecies of Alteromonas macleodii, designated Alteromonas macleodii subsp. GNUM08120. Production of agarase by strain GNUM08120 was likely repressed by the effect of carbon catabolite repression caused by glucose. The crude agarase prepared from 12 h culture broth of strain GNUM08120 exhibited an optimum pH and temperature for agarase activity at 7.0 and 40oC, respectively. The crude enzyme produced (neo)agarobiose, (neo)agarotetraose, and (neo)agarohexaose as the hydrolyzed product of agarose.

지원재 ( Won Jae Chi ),박다연 ( Da Yeon Park ),정성철 ( Sung Cheol Jeong ),장용근 ( Yong Keun Chang ),홍순광 ( Soon Kwang Hong ) 한국미생물생명공학회 2011 한국미생물·생명공학회지 Vol.39 No.4

Strain A-3, an amylase-producing bacteria, was isolated from coastal seawater near Daecheon in the Republic of Korea. It was seen to possess a single polar flagella and grow well, on ASW-YP agar plates, at temperatures of between 20-37℃. However, it grew more slowly at the temperatures of 15℃ and 40℃. Similarly, it was observed to grow abundantly, in an Artificial Sea Water-Yeast extract-Peptone (ASW-YP) liquid medium, in a pH range of 6-9, but not grow at pHs of 4-5 and a pH of 10. Strain A-3 was noted as being close to Pseudoalteromonas phenolica O-BC30T, Pseudoalteromonas luteoviolacea NCIMB1893T, Pseudoalteromonas rubra ATCC29570T, and Pseudoalteromonas byunsanensis FR1199T, with 98.30%, 97.86%, 97.78%, and 97.25% similarities respectively, in its 16S rRNA sequence. A phylogenetic tree revealed that strain A-3 and P. phenolica O-BC30T belong to a clade. However, strain A-3 differed from P. phenolica O-BC30T in relation to a number of physiological characteristics. Strain A-3 exhibited no growth above 5% NaCl concentrations, no utilization of D-glucose, D-mannose, D-maltose, or D-melibose, and no lipase (C-14) activity. All of these properties strongly indicate that strain A-3 is distant from P. phenolica O-BC30T and thus led us to name it Pseudoalteromonas sp. A-3. Pseudoalteromonas sp. A-3 produces α-amylase throughout growth. Maximal amylase activities of 144.48 U/mL and 149.20 U/mL were seen at pH 7.0 and 37℃, respectively. Pseudoalteromonas sp. A-3`s high, stable production of α-amylase in addition to its biochemical features, such as alkalitolerance, suggest that it is a good candidate for industrial applications.

지원재 ( Won Jae Chi ),박다연 ( Da Yeon Park ),( Uyangaa Temuujin ),이종열 ( Jong Yeol Lee ),장용근 ( Yong Keun Chang ),홍순광 ( Soon Kwang Hong ) 한국미생물생명공학회(구 한국산업미생물학회) 2011 한국미생물·생명공학회지 Vol.39 No.2

GC-1과 GC-4로 명명된 두 종의 그람 양성 박테리아가 제주도 연안해수로부터 동정되었다. 이 두 균주는 16S rRNA 유전자 염기서열 분석과 생리적 특성 분석결과를 토대로 Bacillus 속의 박테리아로 규명되었다. 균주 GC-1의 16S rRNA 유전자 염기서열은 B. tequiliensis와 B. subtilis subsp. inaquosorum의 16S rRNA 유전자 염기서열과 99.91%의 상동성을 보였고, 균주 GC-4의 16S rRNA 유전자 염기서열은 B. altitudinis, B. stratosphericus 및 B.aerophilus의 16S rRNA 유전자 염기서열과 100%의 상동성을 보였다. 그러나 두 균주의 생리학적-유전학적 특성 분석결과, 이들이 계통적 유연관계를 갖는 다른 Bacillus 속의 균주들과 상당한 차이가 있었고, 따라서 조사된 Bacillus 속과는 다른 속에 속할 가능성이 높았다. 이러한 결과는 Bacillus 속이 진화과정 중에 다양한 변종으로 진화되었음을 암시한다. Two Gram positive bacterial strains, designated strain GC-1 and GC-4, were isolated from coastal seawater near Jeju Island in the Republic of Korea. The two strains were identified as members of the genus Bacillus, based on 16S rRNA gene sequencing and data for physiological characteristics analyses. A subtle difference in physiological and genotypical characteristics has led us to designate the strains GC-1 and GC-4. The strain GC-1 showed a 99.91% similarity in 16S rRNA gene sequencing with B. tequiliensis and B. subtilis subsp. inaquosorum and the strain GC-4 showed a 100% similarity in 16S rRNA gene sequencing with those of B. altitudinis, B. stratosphericus, and B. aerophilus. However, both strains exhibited different physiological and genotypical characteristics in many aspects from those of their phylogenetically closest neighbors listed above, which implies that genus Bacillus has diversified into various species during its evolutionary process.

지원재 ( Won-jae Chi ) 한국미생물생명공학회(구 한국산업미생물학회) 2016 한국미생물·생명공학회지 Vol.44 No.4

S. griseus wild type에서 dasA 유전자의 과발현에 의해 유도된 기저균사의 ectopic sporulation 관련 유전자를 알아 보기 위해서, empty vector가 삽입된 균주와 dasA가 과발현된 균주의 전사체를 DNA microarray법으로 비교하였다. DNA microarray 결과를 토대로 dasA 유전자 과발현 균주에서 2배이상 발현량이 증가되었으며 p-value가 0.05 미만 (p-value < 0.05)인 유전자들 중에서 false positive 를 제외 시키는 작업을 통하여 최종적으로 4개의 유전자(SGR794, SGR2469, SGR3656, SGR3657)와 3개의 cluster (SGR795-797, SGR2377-2378, SGR6997-6998)를 선발하였다. 이들의 전사량은 low resolution Sl nuclease mapping 법을 통하여dasA 유전자 과발현 균주에서 증가된 것을 확인하였다. Two Streptomyces griseus strains, a wild-type strain and an A-factor-dependent transcriptional activator mutant strain harboring multiple copies of a gene, dasA, that encodes a substrate-binding protein of the ATP-binding cassette transporter, showed severe ectopic sporulation of young substrate hyphae in response to glucose. The effect of dasA overexpression on the ectopic sporulation of Streptomyces strains was evaluated by comparing the transcriptomes of the strain harboring multiple copies of dasA and a strain harboring empty vector. By DNA microarray, 4 genes (SGR794, SGR2469, SGR3656, and SGR3657) and 3 clusters (SGR795-797, SGR2377-2378, and SGR6997-6998) were differentially expressed by more than 2-fold in S. griseus strains harboring dasA. The DNA microarray result was validated by low-resolution S1 nuclease mapping.

지원재 ( Won Jae Chi ),박다연 ( Da Yeon Park ),박재선 ( Jae Seon Park ),홍순광 ( Soon Kwang Hong ) 한국미생물생명공학회(구 한국산업미생물학회) 2012 한국미생물·생명공학회지 Vol.40 No.4

A xylanolytic bacterial strain, MX47, was isolated from rotting plant matter in soil. The strain was aerobic and gram positive, and grew between pH 6.0 and 11.0. Cells were susceptible to thiostrepton and chloramphenicol. The major fatty acids (>3%) comprised 64.55% of iso-C15:0, 22.76% of anteiso-C15:0, and 3.92% of iso-C17:0. The G/C content of the DNA was 44.15 mol%. The predominant respiratory quinone was menaquinone 7 (MK-7). Searches for 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity as well as phylogenetic analyses strongly suggested that the strain should be classified to the genus Bacillus. However, its biochemical characteristics, including acid production and enzyme activities, are different from those of other Bacillus strains in the same clade, and therefore, we propose the name Bacillus sp. MX47.

지원재 ( Won-jae Chi ),김윤희 ( Yoon Hee Kim ),김종희 ( Jong-hee Kim ),홍순광 ( Soon-kwang Hong ) 한국미생물생명공학회(구 한국산업미생물학회) 2017 한국미생물·생명공학회지 Vol.45 No.3

An agar-degrading bacterium, designated as the GNUM08123 strain, was isolated from samples of red algae collected from the Yongil Bay near East Sea, Korea. The isolated GNUM08123 strain was gram-negative, aerobic, motile, and beige-pigmented, with C16:0 (25.9%) and summed feature 3 (comprising C16:1ω7c/iso- C15:02-OH, 34.4%) as its major cellular fatty acids. A similarity search based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence revealed that it belonged to class Gammaproteobacteria and shared 97.7% similarity with the type strain Vibrio chagasii R-3712T. The DNA G+C content of strain GNUM08123T was 46.9 mol%. The major isoprenoid quinone was ubiquinone-8. The results of DNA-DNA relatedness and 16S rRNA sequence similarity analyses, in addition to its phenotypic and chemotaxonomic characteristics, suggest that strain GNUM08123 is a novel species within genus Vibrio, designated as Vibrio sp. GNUM08123. Agarase production by strain GNUM08123 was induced by agar and sucrose, but was repressed probably owing to carbon catabolite repression by glucose and maltose.

용인 함박산 토양에서 분리한 Paenibacillus sp. HX-1의 동정과 endo-β-1,4-xylanase 생산 증가를 위한 배지최적화

지원재 ( Won Jae Chi ),김종희 ( Jong Hee Kim ),홍순광 ( Soon Kwang Hong ) 한국미생물생명공학회(구 한국산업미생물학회) 2013 한국미생물·생명공학회지 Vol.41 No.3

A xylanase-producing bacterium was isolated from a soil sample collected in Yongin city, Korea. The strain was aerobic and gram positive, and grew between pH 5.0 and 11.0, forming a yellow-colored colony. The strain was classified as a novel subspecies bacterium of Paenibacillus barcinonensis by 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, phylogenetic analysis, phenotypic, and biochemical characteristics, and thus named Paenibacillus sp. HX-1. This strain produced extracellular endo-β-1,4-xylanase, and the best xylanolytic activity (205.17 unit/ml) was obtained at 96 h in an optimized TNX medium containing 1% (w/v) bacto tryptone, 1% (w/v) NaCl, and 0.7% (w/v) beechwood xylan at pH 7.0, 37oC and 200 rpm. The endo-β-1,4-xylanase produced by the strain HX-1 yielded xylobiose as the end product from beechwood xylan hydrolysis. The enzyme exhibited optimum pH and temperature at pH 7.0 and 45oC, respectively. The remarkable enhancing effect of the TNX medium on xylanase production by HX-1, in spite of its simple formula, may have great advantages for industrial applications of xylanase.
