We examined the distribution of exopolysaccharide (EPS) producing bacteria population in rhizosphere soils of domestic medicinal herbs; Angelica sinensis, Atractytodes japonica, Achyranthes japonica, Anemarrhena asphodeloides, and Astragalus membranaceus. Fifty-six percent of the total isolates from rhizosphere soil of Angelica sinensis were EPS producing bacteria, suggesting the dominance of EPS producing bacteria in rhizosphere soil of Angelica sinensis. EPS producing bacteria were enumerated in root system (rhizosphere soil, rhizoplane, inside of root) of Angelica sinensis. Bacterial density of rhizosphere soil, rhizoplane, and inside of root were distributed 9.0×106 CFU/g ?soil, 7.0×106 CFU/g ?
soil, and 1.4×103 CFU/g ?soil, respectively. EPS producing bacteria from rhizosphere soil were categorized into five major phylogenetic groups: Alphaproteobacteria (4 strains), Betaproteobacteria (6 strains), Firmicutes (2 strains), Actinobacteria (3 strains), and Bacteroidetes (1 strain) subdivisions. Also, the EPS producing isolates from rhizoplane were distributed as 7 strains in Alphaproteobacteria, 3 strains in Betaproteobacteria, 2 strains in Actinobacteria, 3 strains in Bacteroidetes, and 1 strain in Acidobacteria subdivisions. All of the EPS producing bacteria inside of root belong to genus Chitinophaga. Burkholderia caribiensis DR14, Terriglobus sp. DRP35, and Rhizobium hainanense SAP110 were selected in 112 EPS producing bacteria. These appeared to have produced high levels of exopolysaccharide 6,555 mpa.s, 3,275 mpa.s, and 1,873 mpa.s, respectively. The purified EPS was analyzed Bio-LC. As neutral sugars, glucose, galactose, mannose were detected and as amino sugars, galactosamine and glucosamine were detected. Especilally, analysis of Bio-LC showed that Rhizobium hainanense SAP110 produced glucose (60~89%) and glucosamine (8.5%) as major neutral sugar and
amino sugar, respectively.
