Description

Microorganisms having antifungal activity against pathogenic fungi, antifungal microbial pesticides containing the same, and a method for preparing the same

The present invention relates to microorganisms having antifungal activity against plant pathogenic and animal pathogenic fungi, antifungal actives produced therefrom and pesticides containing them. More specifically, the present invention provides a microorganism having an antifungal activity with organic matter resolution, pesticide resistance and pesticide resolution, an optimal culture method and a bio-matrix for controlling pathogenic fungi containing the same, and an antifungal produced from the microorganism. It relates to sex compounds (chemicals and polypeptides) and methods for their preparation.

Recently, Monsanto, the world's largest pesticide company, announced that it would halt the production of chemical organic synthetic pesticides, requiring the development of new biotechnological technologies that could contribute to the agricultural sector. Therefore, in order to improve quantitative and qualitative productivity, such as improving the stability of agricultural production, preserving the environment, and increasing the added value of agricultural products, developing low-pollution natural biopesticides, breeding of pest-resistant crops for stable production and pleasant environment preservation, and processing of agricultural products. And researches to develop high value-added food and pharmaceutical materials through research into the technology used.

In particular, as the Green Round Convention on Environmental Protection and Ecosystem Conservation becomes the subject of international concern, the abuse of excessive pesticides, etc. becomes a serious problem, and the development of biocide for plant control to replace them is international. As a result, competition is emerging as a key field. In order to overcome the environmental pollution problem caused by conventional pesticides, it is very urgent to select antagonistic microorganisms that are easy to produce, store and apply and effectively inhibit pathogens and to separate biologically active substances. In particular, antifungal actives are less toxic to mammals than conventional pesticides, no harm to plants, excellent in activity and less residual, and therefore do not affect crop rotation and should not contaminate groundwater, soil, and river water.

Antifungal agents developed to date are largely localized to act directly on surface infection areas such as salicilic acid, aluminum salt, zinc salt, iodine, ethanol, organic acid (benzoic acid, propionic acid, etc.). It is divided into nonsystemic agents and systemic agents that are absorbed and act on tissues and organs.

The systemic antifungal agents currently used include (1) griseofulvin ( Penicillium sp.), A phenol-ether compound, (2) amphotericin B (Am B; Streptomyces nodosus ), and a hippocampus. Lysine (hamycin, Streptomyces pimprina ), nystatin, Streptomyces noursei , natamycin, (3) pyrimidine-based flucytosine (5FC), (4) azole derivative miconazole (miconazole, MON), ketoconazole (KET), fluconazole (FLU), genaconazole (GEN), itraconazole (ITR), saperconazole (SAP), (5) peptide series silopfunzin (cilofungin, CIL), saramycetin ( Streptomices saraceticus ), (6) arylamine-based terbinafine (TER), naftifine, (7) morpholines-based penpropie The morph (fenpropimorph) is a typical example. However, although many types of systemic antifungal agents have been reported and can be produced from microorganisms and their derivatives are utilized, there are many problems such as antifungal activity spectrum and toxicity. Therefore, the development of low toxicity, specificity, and fast-acting antifungal agents that can be practically used for the treatment of fungal infections as well as the control of plant pathogenic fungi that cause the greatest damage to crops is urgently needed. .

On the other hand, microbial metabolites involved in disease inhibition through biological control methods include antifungal agents, such as siderophore, NH ₃ enzyme, hydrogen cyanide and the like.

To date, bacteria used for biological control of fungi include Pseudomonas fluorescens , which produces cedarpoa , Enterobacter cloacae , P. ultimum , which inhibits mycelial growth and generates ammonia, and P. putida , which infects roots and controls pathogenic fungi. P. syringae , an antagonistic bacterium applied to leaves, is known, and there is interest in the fields of pesticides, pharmacy, medicine, etc. as a biological controller for natural antifungal agents that exhibit antifungal activity and bacteria that produce these antifungal agents. It is concentrated.

In particular, in the case of the KL1114 strain, it was observed to lyse and resume growth of some cells when a certain growth period was reached.The KL1114 strain was found to be infected with the virus because the virus particles were found in the images taken by the projection electron microscope (TEM). It was confirmed that the cells exist in lyogenized cells. In fact, the KL1114 strain showed superior antifungal activity and antifungal spectrum compared to the KL1143 and KL1367 strains of the same scientific name. This is because it can be. As described above, the KL1114, KL1121, KL1326, KL1143, and KL1179 strains showed extremely high antifungal activity and broad antifungal activity spectrum.

The present invention is B. subtilis var. amyloliquefaciens KL1114 strain (Accession No .: KCTC 8913P), Alcaligenes faecalis KL1179 strain (Accession No .: KCTC 8914P), Pseudomonas aeruginosa KL1121 strain (Accession No .: KCTC 8915P), and Pseudomonas aurantiaca KL1326 strain (KT 8916P) It was deposited with the Institute of Biotechnology Research Institute Gene Bank on November 27, 1998 (accession number: KCTC 8913P).

(2-2) Mechanism of action of antifungal active bacteria

As a result of analyzing the mechanism of action of antifungal activity using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and interference microscopy in 6 pathogenic fungi and 15 published pathogenic fungi, the strains inhibited mycelial formation, induces and suppresses sporulation. It was confirmed that the pathogens were inhibited or killed in the form of, nutrients, and the like.

Example 3 Investigation of Optimal Culture Conditions of Antifungal Active Bacteria

In order to mass-produce the bacteria selected in the above example, the optimum conditions for the production of antifungal actives were investigated in new strains KL1114, KL1121, KL1326, KL1179, KL1143, and KLP21 with excellent antifungal activity. Among the composition of the medium used in the experiment for the carbon source, nitrogen source and phosphate source is shown in Table 3, the growth effect using this composition was confirmed by measuring the growth curve of the microorganisms at absorbance at 620 or 630 nm for 48 hours.

Microbial medium composition Badge Kinds Phosphoric Acid Concentration (mM) in Glu-MOPS Medium 0.01, 0.05, 0.1, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0 Nitrogen source Beef extract, cassamino acid, malt extract, peptone, tryptone, urea, yeast extract Carbon source Fructose, galactose, glycerol, lactose, maltose, mannitol, sucrose

(3-1) Growth Amount by Carbon Sources

Peptone (0.5%) was added to GM63 medium as a nitrogen source in a fixed amount, and 0.5% of each carbon source was added to investigate. Among the seven carbon sources except glucose, KL1114 strain was the most effective carbon source for lactose and mannitol, and KL1326 strain was the most effective carbon source for growth of fructose, galactose, and glycerol.

(3-2) Growth amount by type of nitrogen source

It was measured by adding 0.5% of each nitrogen source to GM63 medium. Peptone and yeast extract were the best nitrogen sources for the growth of antifungal active strains, and urea was the lowest. In the KL1114 strain, tryptone was the best nitrogen source.

(3-3) Growth amount according to the concentration of phosphate source

Phosphoric acid source was measured by varying the phosphoric acid concentration of Glu-MOPS medium growth of antifungal active strains. The growth rate was exactly proportional to the phosphoric acid concentration, and there was no difference in the growth at concentrations of 0.5 mM or more.

(3-4) Investigation of antifungal activity according to carbon source, nitrogen source type and phosphate concentration

Culture medium was taken from the antifungal active strains except KL1179 and KLP21 strains according to the culture time (6, 12, 24 hours), centrifuged to remove the microorganisms, and the antifungal actives were extracted using the same amount of butanol in the supernatant. Only 1 ml of this was concentrated to determine the antifungal activity against C. albicans ( Fusarium for KLP21 strain). KL1179 and KLP21 strains were examined for activity using a disk. The activity was measured as the diameter (in cm) of the inhibition zone in which C. albicans or Fusarium did not grow. As a result, the KL1114 and KL1143 strains showed high activity without being affected by the composition of the medium, and the remaining microorganisms showed higher activity in the nitrogen source medium than the Glu-MOPS medium and in the carbon source medium than the nitrogen source medium.

(3-5) Antifungal Activity of Amino Acids, Vitamins and pH Change

To compare the production of antifungal actives according to environmental factors in strains producing antifungal actives (KL1114, 1121, 1143, 1179, 1326, KLP21), temperature, pH, vitamins (B1, B2, B12) and The culture was performed with different amino acids. The supernatant of the culture cultured in each section was extracted with the same amount of butanol, concentrated under reduced pressure, and the antifungal active material was measured from the concentrate. As a result, the growth rate of the antifungal active strain and the pH change in the medium showed almost similar patterns among the strains. However, the production of antifungal actives was different among the strains, so KL1114, 1179, and 1326 strains produced vitamin B1, KL1121 strains, vitamin B2, and KL1143 strains produced the maximum antifungal actives. Amino acids had high antifungal activity in the treatment of arginine and lysine.

(3-6) Antifungal Active Substance Generating Ability According to Temperature

Antifungal activity was measured by culturing the culture temperature at 15, 25, 30 and 37 ° C for 3 days, and the antifungal activity was excellent in the temperature range of 30 to 37 ° C.

Example 4 Investigation of the Effect of Microorganisms on Plant Seed Germination Rate

It is very important to measure the seed germination rate of antifungal active bacteria, even if the antifungal active strains have good antifungal activity. The germination rate of uncultivated green pumpkin seeds showed 100% germination rate in all strains except KL1179 strain, and in case of Oriental Bell pepper, all strains showed germination rate similar to that of the reference group.

As such, the antifungal active bacteria do not inhibit the seed germination rate of the plant, and thus, they may be very useful for seed storage and preservation when encapsulated at the seed level.

Example 5 Preparation of Biomatrices Using Antifungal Active Bacteria

To produce antifungal physiologically active substances while maintaining them in a natural environmental ecosystem or in plants, it is necessary to maintain nutrient supply (nutrients that can be used in the short and medium to long term), protect the antifungal bacteria, increase germination rates, and maintain long-term growth. need. Therefore, the bio-matrix (bio-matrix) having such a function was to be developed.

Specifically, about 20 kinds of biomatrices were prepared by appropriately mixing plant resource polymer material (biogel), microbial source biopolymer (microgel), biopolymer synthetic microorganism cells or other materials. At this time, the plant material polymer materials include spinach powder, cabbage powder, raw brown rice, acorn jelly powder, alpha cone, seaweed powder, fresh vinegar powder, mugwort powder, raw sugar powder, kelp powder, green bean powder, mar powder, red bean powder, chestnut powder, Uses wheat flour, pine needle black bean powder or carrot powder, and other ingredients such as vermiculite, mud, alginic acid, chitin, oyster shell, fruit shell dried powder, corn stalk, rice husk, sawdust and other powders, extracts, peptone, Tryptone, sugars, inorganic salts, vitamins, amino acids or flavonoids (flavonoid) and the like were added as appropriate. In addition, mucopolysaccharide (MPS) or poly-beta-hydroxyalkanoate is used as a microbial source biopolymer, and mucopolysaccharide is a nitrogen-fixed bacterium Rhizobium. loti, R. meliloti, R. japonicum or cyanobacteria were used.

Polymeric ingredients of biomatrices ingredient Addition amount (g / l) Pine Needle Powder + Potato Powder 280 + 120 Starch 400 Starch + Carrot Powder 280 + 120 Soybean flour + Cabbage flour 280 + 120 Soybean Flour + Seaweed Powder 280 + 120 Spinach powder 400 Carrot powder 400 Seaweed Powder 400

As a result of measuring the bio matrix as a nutrient source and measuring the survival period, survival germination rate, antifungal activity, and antifungal substance generating ability of the antifungal active bacteria, the biomatrix can be applied to all antifungal active bacteria, microbial pesticides and microbial preparations. The film was excellent in its encapsulation and as a microbial carrier.

Example 6 Screening of Biodegradable Coating Aggregates Enhancing Bacterial Adsorption

In order for the microorganism of the present invention to be used as a fungicide for controlling plant pathogenic fungi, first of all, the coating antagonist is required not only to maintain antagonistic activity even at room temperature for a long time, but also to adhere well to plant leaves or to decompose well in soil. The present invention extracted and characterized the bioflocculants released by cyanobacteria into the aquatic environment with the antifungal active bacteria obtained above. Anabaena sp. Was isolated from kaolin clay and Alcian blue binding assays among several species of cyanobacteria. PC-1 and Anabaena sp. The N-1444 strain was found to secrete abundantly extracellular aggregates with strong coagulation activity. To understand the properties of this flocculant, Anabaena sp. As a result of investigating the growth curve and kaolin aggregation activity for each week while culturing PC-1 for 6 weeks, the coagulation activity was the strongest at 4 weeks until the growth was stagnant, and the hot phenol from the strain cultured for 4 weeks The coagulant was extracted using, and partially purified using CTAB and ethanol precipitation, followed by pure purification using Sephacryl S-200 column chromatography. These aggregates are macromolecular polysaccharides, with 63% of the total molecular weight being neutral sugar, 5% of uronicacids, and 12% of protein, but keto acids, hexosamines and fatty acids. Fatty acids were rarely present.

In addition, the purified agglomerates have a strong affinity for the cationic dye, Alcian blue, and thus are considered polyanionic / sulfated polysaccharides, and their coagulation activity is stronger under strong acidic conditions ( acid-dependent), coagulation activity increased by 40% even after heating at 100 ^o C for 7 min. In addition, when the salt or metal such as NaCl, NaNO ₃ , MgSO ₄ , ZnSO ₄ is added, the activity is increased, and activated carbon, silica, aluminum oxide, bentonite, chitin, chitosan, powdered agar, cellulose, DEAE, Dowex in solution -50W, some aggregation with organic / inorganic materials such as Sephadex.

Also, KL1321, 1143, 1330, and 1367 strains of antifungal active bacteria showed strong aggregation activity between pH 2 and 4 from day 1 of culture, unlike other strains with slowly increasing aggregation activity. Can be used directly.

Example 7 Selection of Adjuvant for Antifungal Active Substance

In order to investigate the possibility of synergistic effect of antifungal activity when the compound of flavonoid family, which is a natural product distributed in plants rather than microorganisms, is possible, or a substance such as a metal component having excellent antifungal activity but cytotoxicity, In order to examine the effects of fungal growth on the growth of fungi, the inhibitory effect of fungal growth by the interaction of zinc with quercetin and copper with quercetin was observed. This confirmed that flavonoids can be used as an antifungal activity enhancer (Letters in Applied Microbiology. 26: 363-366, 1998).

Example 8 Preparation of Biomatrix Pesticide Containing Antifungal Active Bacteria

(8-1) Manufacturing Process

After sterilizing the first prepared bio-matrix, it is cooled to about 50 ℃. The concentrated antifungal active bacteria are first coated with mucopolysaccharides (MPS) secreted by nitrogen-fixed bacteria, mixed with the biomatrices, and prepared so that the number of cells per gram of the polymer material is about 10 ⁸ -10 ⁹ .
