Abstract

In this study, we want to detect bacteriocin production in purple nonsulfur bacteria. As a results, it was showed that bacteriocin produced between some strains of Rhodobacter capsulatus, Rhodobacter sphaeroides and Rhodocyclus gelatinosus. In particular, it was appeared that cell membrane-bound bacteriocin was also produced by Rhodobacter capsulatus ATCC 17016.

홍색 비유황 고아합성세균들중에 몇종을 선택하여 bacteriocin 생산실험을 실시하였다. 그 결과, Rhodobacter capsulatus, Rhodobacter sphaeroides 그리고 Phodocylus gelatinosus의 세균들이 bacteriocin을 분비하는 것으로 나타났으며 특히 Rhodobacter capsulatus ATCC 17016은 cell-bound bacteriocin도 생산하는 것으로 나타났다. 대부분의 경우, 근연종들간에 bacteriocin이 분비되는 것으로 나타났으나, 비교적 우연관계가 먼 Phodocylus gelatinosus와 Rhodopseudomonas sulfoviridis간에도 bacteriocin이 분비되는 것으로 나타났다.
