Abstract

In order to increase the content of germanium in ginseng adventitious roots, the effects of chelating agents on germanium content and root growth were investigated in the submerged cultures of ginseng adventitious roots. Chelating agents such as citric acid, oxalic acid, phosphoric acid, EDTA (Ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid) or EGTA (Ethylene glycol-bis $({\beta}-aminoethylether)-tetraacetic$ acid) were administrated in the submerged culture of ginseng root containing 50 ppm $GeO_2$. After 6 weeks of cultivation, fresh weight, germanium and saponin contents in the roots were analyzed. Among chelating agents, addition of 1.0mM phosphoric acid was found to be best for germanium accumulation. Under this condition, germanium content increased 1.4 times as compared to that of the control. The germanium content in the adventitious roots also increased with addition of EDTA or EGTA, while they inhibited the growth of ginseng adventitious root. Citric and oxalic acids were not effective for increasing germanium content in adventitious roots. As the results, it suggests that the phosphoric acid can be proved as the optimal agent for the enhancement of germanium accumulation in ginseng adventitious roots. These results can be served as a guideline for the mass production of ginseng adventitious roots containing germanium by large-scale production.

식물조직배양기술을 이용한 Ge 함유 인삼 부정근 생산 시 Ge의 생산성을 향상시키고자, 다양한 킬레이트제가 인삼 부정근의 Ge 축적과 사포닌 형성 및 생육에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. $GeO_2$ 50ppm과 함께 citric acid, oxalic acid, phosphoric acid, EDTA 및 EGTA와 같은 킬레이트제를 인삼 부정근 배양시 첨가하여 Ge 흡수에 미치는 영향을 조사한 결과, phosphoric acid, EDTA 및 EGTA가 Ge 흡수를 촉진시킨다는 사실을 알 수 있었다. 그러나, EDTA와 EGTA는 인삼부정근의 생육을 억제시킬 뿐만 아니라 Ge 흡수 촉진 효과도 phosphoric acid에 비해 낮으므로 인삼 부정근의 Ge 흡수를 촉진하는데 가장 효과적인 킬레이트제는 phosphoric acid인 것으로 확인되었다. 인삼 부정근의 Ge 흡수 촉진을 위한 phosphoric acid의 최적 농도는 1.0 mM이었고, 이때의 Ge 함량은$22.7{\pm}0.3$ mg%로 대조구$(16.8{\pm}0.7$ mg%)의 1.4배에 해당하는 양이다. 한편, 인삼 부정근의 생장률과 총 사포닌 함량은 phosphoric acid의 농도가 증가할수록 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다.
