Abstract

|
Strain BCNU 2001 was isolated from soil samples collected from Tea-baek Mountain area. The biochemical characteristics and 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequences of the isolate revealed that the strain belonged to the Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The supernatants had an antimicrobial effect on various kind of bacteria and fungi. Especially BCNU 2001 was able to greatly inhibit the growth of Micrococcus luteus, Proteus mirabilis, Proteus vulgaris, and Aspergillus niger, and its inhibition zone was measured as 18.5 mm against Micrococcus luteus, 19.0mm against Proteus mirabilis, 17.0mm against Proteus vulgaris, and 13.5 mm against Aspergillus niger, respectively. Hexane and dichloromethane extracts of BCNU 2001 exhibited significant activity against bacteria, and dichloromethane and ethylacetate extracts showed significant activity against fungi. Pseudomonas strain BCNU 2001 was also determined to have antimicrobial peptide against various microorganisms including Gram positive bacteria, Gram negative bacteria and fungi. The obtained results may provide preliminary support for the usefulness of Pseudomonas strain BCNU 2001.
