메주와 누룩은 한국 전통 발효 식품에 사용되는 스타터로, Aspergillus속 곰팡이나 aflatoxin에 노출되기 쉽다. 본 연구에서는 우리나라에서 시판되는 57개의 메주 시료와 18개의 누룩 시료로부터 Aspergillus 속 곰팡이를 분리하고 동정하였다. 분리주의 aflatoxin 생성 가능성을 평가하기 위하여 multiplex PCR을 통해 aflatoxin 생합성 유전자(aflO, aflP, aflR)를 확인하고, 이들 분리주에 의해 생성되는 aflatoxin 함량을 HPLC로 조사하였다. 뿐만 아니라 시판 메주와 누룩 시료 중 aflatoxin 함량을 분석하였다. 그 결과, 메주 시료로부터 130개, 누룩 시료로부터 47개 균주가 분리되어 총 177개의 분리주를 확인 및 동정하였다. 각각 메주와 누룩으로부터 분리된 19.2% (25/130), 10.6% (5/47)의 분리주가 3 종류의 aflatoxin 생합성 유전자를 모두 보유하였으며, 그 중 메주로부터 분리된 5개의 분리주가 실제로 aflatoxin을 생성하였다. 시판 메주와 누룩 시료 중 aflatoxin 함량을 분석한 결과, 88% (51/58)의 메주 시료의 aflatoxin 오염 수준은 모두 검출한계 미만으로 나타났고, 누룩 또한 시료의 39% (7/18)가 검출한계 미만으로 확인되었다. 메주와 누룩에서 분리된 분리주 중 aflatoxin 생합성 유전자를 모두 보유하거나 배지 상에서 aflatoxin 생성을 보여준 aflatoxigenic 균주는 존재하였으나 유통되고 있는 시료에서 aflatoxin 오염 빈도는 낮은 수준임을 확인할 수 있었다.

Meju and nuruk (respectively soybean and malt) are traditional Korean fermentation starters that are vulnerable to contamination by harmful microorganisms such as aflatoxigenic fungi and their associated aflatoxins (AFs). In this study, Aspergillus spp. were isolated and identified from a total of 57 meju and 18 nuruk samples collected from Korean markets. Their potential aflatoxigenicity was investigated by examining the presence of three aflatoxin biosynthetic genes (aflO, aflP, and aflR) using multiplex polymerase chain reaction (mPCR) assays. Thereafter, aflatoxin production of isolates and the natural occurrence of AFs in meju and nuruk samples were analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). A total of 177 Aspergillus isolates were identified and 130 isolates were obtained from meju samples. Of these, 25 isolates (19.2%) contained all three aflatoxin biosynthetic genes, and five (20%) of these isolates produced aflatoxins. Forty-seven of the Aspergillus isolates were obtained from nuruk samples, five of which (10.6%) expressed all three AF biosynthetic genes; however, none of these strains produced AFs. HPLC analysis showed that 88% (51/58) of the meju samples and 39% (7/18) of nuruk samples were not contaminated with AFs (below limit of detection). Among the isolates isolated from meju and nuruk, there were aflatoxigenic strains containing all three aflatoxin biosynthetic genes or producing aflatoxin in medium, but the frequency of aflatoxin contamination was low in the meju and nuruk samples.

제안 방법
PCR amplification was performed using an AccuPower® PCR PreMix kit (Bioneer, Daejeon, Korea) with a 20 μL reaction volume that contained 10-30 ng of template DNA, 1.5 mM MgCl2, 10 mM Tris-HCl (pH 9.0), 30 mM KCl, 250 μM of each dNTP, 1-10 μM of each primer, and 1 U of Taq polymerase.
The accuracy (i.e., recovery) of this method was tested by adding AFB1, AFB2, AFG1 and AFG2 standards to the agar plugs taken from blank PDA mediums with the spiking level of 20 μg/kg for AFB1 and AFG1, 6 μg/kg for AFB2 and AFG2.
To investigate the aflatoxigenicity of the isolates, we performed mPCR assays using specific primers targeting aflatoxin biosynthetic genes aflR, aflO, and aflP. All three genes were expressed in 10.
성능/효과
Aspergillus section Flavi (A. flavus, A. oryzae, A. nomius, and A. tamarii) was detected in 94.4% of Nuruk samples (17/18) and 91.1% of Meju samples (51/56).
The average contamination levels of those five Meju samples were: 14.61 μg/kg for AFB1; 1.08μg/kg for AFB2; 8.46 μg/kg for AFG1; and 0.49 μg/kg for AFG2.
6% (2/56) of the Meju samples, respectively. The mPCR results showed that five Meju samples were contaminated with aflatoxigenic A. flavus strains. The average contamination levels of those five Meju samples were: 14.
The method showed a recovery in the range of 73-102% for Meju and 89-102% for Nuruk with the linearity of R2>0.999 in both of Meju and Nuruk matrix.
