버섯 생산 후 발생되는 부산물인 팽이버섯 수확 후 배지로부터 7종의 고온성 균주를 분리하였으며 이 중 곰팡이독소를 생성하는 Asp. flavus와 Asp. ochraceous에 대한 항균활성이 높으면서 xylanase와 cellulase 생성능이 우수한 균주를 최종 선발하여 UJ03으로 명명하였다. Bacillus ID kit와 VITEK 2 system를 이용하여 분리균 UJ03의 생리적·생화학적 특성을 조사한 결과 분리균 UJ03은 Bacillus 속과 유사한 특징을 나타내었으며 16S rDNA 염기 서열 분석 결과에서는 B. amyloliquefaciens와 98.9%의 상동성을 나타내었다. 이와 같은 결과를 종합하여 분리균 UJ03은 Bacillus sp. UJ03으로 동정되었으며 분리균 UJ03이 생성하는 항균물질은 TLC와 HPLC 분석에서 Bacillus 속 균주가 생성하는 펩타이드성 항균물질인 iturin A와 유사한 특성을 나타내었다.
Spent mushroom substrate (SMS) is a by-product remained after a crop of mushrooms. About seven thermophilic strains were isolated from SMS (Flammulina velvtipes). Among them, one isolate, designated UJ03, showed the antifungal activity against Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus ochraceous producing mycotoxin on PDA medium, potentially. The strain UJ03 produced cellulase and xylanase as extracellular hydrolases. The strain UJ03 was identified as a member of the genus Bacillus by biochemical characteristics using Bacillus ID kit and VITEK 2 system. Comparative 16S rDNA gene sequence analysis showed that strain UJ03 formed a distinct phylogenetic tree within the genus Bacillus and was most closely related to Bacillus amyloliquefaciens with sequence similarity of 98.9%. On the basis of its physiological properties, biochemical characteristics and phylogenetic distinctiveness, strain UJ03 was classified within the genus Bacillus, for which the name Bacillus sp. UJ03 is proposed. The antifungal compound from Bacillus sp. UJ03 was similar to lipopeptide iturin A of Bacillus sp.
