Attachment of Pasteuria penetrans Endospores to Meloidogyne spp. Juveniles Affected by Temperatures and the Nematode species

선충절대기생세균(Pasteuria penetrans)이 감염되어 있는 온실토양을 이용하여 세균의 내생포자가 땅콩뿌리혹선충(Meloidogyne arenaria) 유충 표면에 부착하는데 대한 온도의 영향에 대해 시험하였다. 갓 부화된 뿌리혹선충 2령충(J2)을 페트리디쉬 내의 토양에 접종한 후 $20^{\circ}C$, $25^{\circ}C$, $30^{\circ}C$, $35^{\circ}C$에서 7일간 처리하였다. 모든 온도에서 내생포자의 J2 부착률은 모두 100%로 나타났으나 J2당 내생포자 부착수는 $25^{\circ}C$에서 28.3개로 가장 많았으며 $30^{\circ}C$, $20^{\circ}C$ 및 $35^{\circ}C$에서 각각 J2 당 20.2, 18.6 및 13.6개로 낮아졌다. J2를 접종하기 전에 세균이 있는 토양을 온도별로 10일간 전처리하였을 때 내생포자 부착률은 실온에서의 60%에 비해 $-300^{\circ}C$, $4^{\circ}C$, $40^{\circ}C$, $50^{\circ}C$ 및 $100^{\circ}C$에서 각각 25.0, 31.7, 8.3, 5.0 및 0%로 현저하게 낮아졌다. J2 당 내생포자 부착수도 실온에서의 5.3개에 비해 $-30^{\circ}C$, $40^{\circ}C$, $40^{\circ}C$, $50^{\circ}C$ 및 $100^{\circ}C$에서 각각 3.5, 4.3, 1, 1, 0개로 적었다. P. penetrans 세균의 내생포자를 뿌리혹선충 종별로 J2에 부착 시험한 결과 땅콩뿌리혹선충에서는 100%였으나 당근뿌리혹선충(M. hapla)과 고구마뿌리혹선충(M. incognita)에서는 모두 0%로 본 균주는 뿌리혹선충 종에 대해 기주선호성을 가진 것으로 나타났다. A greenhouse soil infested with an obligate nematode parasitic bacterium, Pasteuria penetrans, was used to test the effect of temperatures on the endospore attachment to root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne arenaria, juveniles (J2). Freshly hatched J2s were inoculated to the soil in petri dish and incubated under different temperatures of $20^{\circ}C$, $25^{\circ}C$, $30^{\circ}C$, and $35^{\circ}C$ for 7 days. The endospore attachment rates were 100% in all the temperatures, while the number of endospores attached per J2 was highest in $25^{\circ}C$ with 28.3 endospores/J2 followed by 20.2, 18.6, and 13.6 in $30^{\circ}C$, $20^{\circ}C$, and $35^{\circ}C$, respectively. When the soil was pre-treated under different temperatures before the J2 inoculation, the endospore attachment rates significantly decreased from 60% in room temperature to $25^{\circ}C$, 31.7, 8.3, 5.0, and 0% after the soil incubation in $-30^{\circ}C$, $4^{\circ}C$, $40^{\circ}C$, $50^{\circ}C$, and $100^{\circ}C$ for 10 days, respectively. The endospore numbers attached per J2 were 3.5, 4.3, 1, 1, and 0 when the soil was pre-treated in $-30^{\circ}C$, $4^{\circ}C$, $40^{\circ}C$, $50^{\circ}C$, and $100^{\circ}C$, respectively, which were lower than 5.3/J2 of room temperature treated soil. The P. penetrans isolate in the soil showed nematode species-specific endospore attachment characteristics with 100% attachment rate only on M. arenaria J2s while the rates were 0% on M. hapla and M. incognita J2s.
