Description
Summary:碩士 === 朝陽科技大學 === 生物技術研究所 === 97 === Using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with two pairs of oligonucleotide primers to detect both ZmaR and Zwit genes. In this study, we were able to efficiently screen the local Bacillus thuringiensis (B.t) isolates that produced zwittermicin A. Of the 25 B.t isolates tested, B.t D1-10a exhibited the highest antifungal activity which can inhibit the growth of Micrococcus luteus、Fusarium solani、Phytophthora capsici、 Phytophthora Citricola、Pythium myriotylum.Antifungal activity can be enhanced by the addition of ferric ion to trypticase soy broth. And the cation-exchange hromatography (Amberliter IRC-50) purified supernatant of broth still showed inhibition against the mycelial growth (from zoospores) of Pythium myriotylum.The antibiotic substances were further purified by reverse phase C18 HPLC. A single peak was eluted at 6.5 to 7.5 minutes from HPLC. The antibiotic substances from HPLC were identified by LC-TOF MS. The molecular weight of this compound was determined to be approximately 387.1 Da, that was similar to the confirmed zwittermicin A producted by B.cereus UW85. In this study, the purified zwittermicin A-like compound can also inhibit the germination of P. myriotylum zoospores.
