Abstract

Physical sterilization methods using ultraviolet radiation and ionizing radiation such as gamma ray and electron beam are applied in various industry fields due to disinfection effects and economic efficiency but may also cause microbial mutation. In this research, Salmonella enterica and Escherichia coli strains were treated with ionizing and ultraviolet radiation and their survival rate, mutation rate, and DNA damage were studied to evaluate the genetic safety. The survival rate of the strains decreased drastically as the irradiation dose of ultraviolet ray, gamma ray, and electron beam increased, and over 90% of the strain was exterminated at a dosage of $0.40{\sim}25.06mJ/cm^3$, 0.11~0.22 kGy, 0.14~0.53 kGy respectively. In SOS / umu-test, genotoxicity causing DNA damage was identified in all samples. In Ames test, back-mutation rate increased to $3.82{\times}10^{-4}$ and $9.84{\times}10^{-6}$ respectively when exposed to ultraviolet ray and gamma ray. At exposure to ultraviolet ray, gamma ray, and electron beam with dosage of over 99.99% extinction rate of S. enterica TA100, back-mutation rate increased 347 times, 220 times, 0.6 times respectively to the spontaneous back-mutation rate. Rifampicin resistance mutation rate of E. coli CSH100 exposed to ultraviolet ray, gamma ray, and electron beam was $2.46{\times}10^{-6}$, $1.66{\times}10^{-6}$, $4.12{\times}10^{-7}$ respectively. Therefore, gamma radiation is effective in microorganism control from the perspective of disinfection and electron beam has the advantage of sterilizing with little DNA damage and bacterial mutation.

감마선, 전자빔 등과 같은 전리방사선과 자외선을 이용하는 물리적 멸균방법은 살균 효과와 경제성이 우수하므로 다양한 산업분야에서 사용되고 있으나, 미생물의 돌연변이를 유발하는 요인으로 작용할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 전리방사선 및 자외선의 유전학적 안전성을 평가하기 위해서 Salmonella enterica와 Escherichia coli 균주에 자외선, 감마선, 전자빔을 조사한 후에 생존율, 돌연변이율, DNA 손상 효과를 조사하였다. 자외선, 감마선, 전자빔의 조사선량이 증가함에 따라 시험 균주의 생존율이 모두 급격히 감소하였으며, 90% 이상이 사멸되는 조사선량은 각각 $0.40{\sim}25.06mJ/cm^3$, 0.11~0.22 kGy, 0.14~0.53 kGy 이었다. SOS/umu-test에서는 자외선, 감마선, 전자빔에 노출된 모든 시료에서 DNA 손상을 유발하는 유전독성이 확인되었다. Ames test에서는 자외선과 감마선에 노출된 후에 복귀 돌연변이율이 각각 $3.82{\times}10^{-4}$, $9.84{\times}10^{-6}$까지 증가하였다. S. enterica TA100의 사멸율이 99.99% 이상 되는 선량의 자외선, 감마선, 전자빔에서의 복귀 돌연변이율은 각각 자연돌연변이율 대비 347배, 220배, 0.6배 증가하였다. E. coli CSH100 균주를 자외선, 감마선, 전자빔에 노출시킨뒤에 조사한 리팜피신내성 돌연변이율은 각각 $2.46{\times}10^{-6}$, $1.66{\times}10^{-6}$, $4.12{\times}10^{-7}$ 이었다. 따라서 사멸효과의 관점에서는 감마선 처리가 미생물 제어에 효과적이라 할 수 있으며, 전자빔은 DNA 손상과 세균돌연변이를 적게 유발하며 사멸효과를 얻는 장점이 있다고 생각된다.
