초록

순천대학교 지의류생물 소재은행(KOLABIC)에서 100종의 지의류 내생 곰팡이를 분양 받아 C. albicans에 대한 항진균 활성을 조사하였다. 고체배지 및 액체배지에 배양시 Usnea rigidula, Parmotrema pseudotinctorum 그리고 Myelochroa sp.가 높은 항진균 활성을 나타내는 물질을 생성함을 알 수 있었다. 이들 3종 지의류 내생 곰팡이의 배양액을 chloroform, ethyl acetate 용매 순으로 추출하고 disc diffusion method를 이용하여 각 추출물의 C. albicans에 대한 항진균 활성도를 측정한 결과 모두 chloroform 추출물에서 높은 활성이 가장 높았으며, 다음으로 ethyl acetate 추출물이 높은 활성을 나타냈다. 항진균성 물질이 기존에 알려진 물질인지에 대한 정보를 알기위해 6 일 동안 배양한 Usnea rigidula와 4일 동안 배양한 Parmotrema pseudotinctorum의 chloroform 추출액에 대하여 HPLC, $C_{18}$ column으로 분리하여 Usnea rigidula (2326)의 6일과 Parmotrema pseudotinctorum (2202)의 4일 배양액에서 각각 2 개의 peak 분획물을 얻었다. 각 분획물을 농축한 후 96 well plate를 이용하여 C. albicans와 C. glabrata에 대한 항진균 활성을 실험한 결과, Parmotrema pseudotinctorum의 주요peak는 control에 비해 항진균 활성이 높게 나타났으며 활성물질은 usnic acid계열의 화합물로 추정되었다.

To isolate a novel antifungal compound, we obtained 100 kinds of endolichenic fungi from Korean Lichen & Allied Bioresources Center and examined their antifungal capability. Three fungi Usnea rigidula (2326), Parmotrema pseudotinctorum (2202) and Myelochroa sp. (2292) showed high antifungal activity against Candida albicans when they grew in both liquid and solid media. We extracted the culture supernatants of these three fungi with chloroform and then with ethyl acetate. Chloroform fraction exhibited the highest antifungal activities when those fractions were examined for the growth inhibition of Candida albicans with disc diffusion method. The chloroform faction was on further analysis with $C_{18}$ column chromatography to see whether the inhibitors are already known or not. Two peak fractions were collected from 4-day culture extract for Usnea rigidula and from 6-day culture extract for Parmotrema pseudotinctorum on the HPLC. A peak fraction from chloroform extracts of 4-day culture filtrate of Parmotrema pseudotinctorum showed higher antifungal activities against C. albicans and C. glabrata than another peak fraction. It appears that the antifungal materials are relatively nonpolar as usnic acid often found in lichenic fungi.
