Abstract

The role of soil microorganisms, specifically rhizobacteria, in the development of rhizoremediation techniques is important to speed up the process and to increase the rate of mobilization or absorption of heavy metals to the plant. In this study, Methylobacterium sp. SY-NiR1 was isolated from the rhizosphere soils of plants in oil and heavy metal-contaminated soil. Based on its pink pigmented colony, rod-shape cells, and belonging in $\alpha-Proteobacteria$, Methylobacterium sp. SY-NiR1 is considered a pink-pigmented facultative methylotroph. SY-NiR1 had the ability to produce indole acetic acid which is one of phytohormones. This bacterium showed resistance against multiple heavy metals such as Cd, Cr, Cu, Pb, Ni, Zn, and the order of its resistance based on $EC_{50}$ was Zn > Ni > Cu > Pb > Cd > Cr. Therefore, Methylobacterium sp. SY-NiR1 can stimulate seed germination and plant growth in soil contaminated with heavy metals.

중금속으로 오염된 토양을 정화하기 위한 rhizoremediation 기법에서 식물이 중금속을 흡수하고 이동시키는 효율을 증가시키기 위하여 토양 미생물 특히, 근권세균의 역할이 중요하다. 이를 위하여 본 연구에서는 정유공장 주변의 유류 및 중금속으로 장기간 오염된 토양에서 서식하는 4가지 식물의 근권토양으로부터 Methylobacterium sp. SY-NiR1 균주를 분리하였다. 분리한 Methylobacterium sp. SY-NiR1는 분홍색 콜로니 형성, 막대모양 및 $\alpha-proteobacteria$에 속하는 특성으로 보아 pink-pigmented facultative methylotroph인 것으로 사료된다. 이 균주는 식물성호르몬인 indole acetic acid(IAA) 생산능을 가지고 있으며, 카드뮴, 크롬, 구리, 납, 니켈 그리고 아연 등과 같은 다양한 중금속에 대하여 내성을 가지고 있었으며, $EC_{50}$을 기준으로 한 SY-NiR1의 중금속에 대한 내성은 Zn > Ni > Cu > Pb > Cd > Cr 순이다. 따라서 본 연구에서 분리한 Methylobacterium sp. SY-NiR1 균주는 중금속으로 오염된 토양에서 식물의 발아, 생장 및 발달을 도와 식물의 중금속 흡수를 증가시켜 rhizorememdiation 효율을 증가시킬 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
