인삼뿌리썩음병균, Cylindrocarpon destructans(Zins.) Scholten을 접종한 인삼절편으로 부터 얻은 섬유소분해효소 및 펙틴질분해광소의 역가는 그 농도, 시간에 비례하였다. Cellulase (Cx), endo-polygalacturonase(endo-PG), endo-poiymethylgalacturonase (endo-PMG), exo-polygalacturonase (exe-PG)와 exo-polymeth-ylgalacturonase(exo-PMG)의 역가는 접종후 4 일째 최대였으며 endo-PG와 endo-PMG는 1일 및 2일째는 전혀 검출되지 않았으나 exo-PG와 exo-PMG는 검출되었다. 접종후 6 일째에는 모든 펙틴질분해효소는 활성을 완전히 잃었으나 섬유소분해효소는 높은 역가을 유지하였다. Cx, endo-PG, endo-PMG, exo-PG 및 exo-PMG의 최적 pH는 각각 6.0, 5.5, 8.0, 7.0-7.5, 8.5이였다. Cx, endo-PG, endo-PMG, 및 exo-PG의 최적온도는 각각 exo-PMG $66^{circ}C;53^{circ}C;41^{circ}C;37^{circ}C;and;40^{circ}C$였다. 섬유소분해효소는 공시한 16개 이온중에서 0.05M $Hg^{++}$만이 억제하였다. 펙틴질분해효소는 이온에 따라 상이하였으나 $0.05M; Fe^{+++}$과 $0.05M;Al^{+++}$이 가장 현저히 억제하였다. 공시한 8개 농약중에서 어느 것도 $0.1\%$ 유효성분으로는 모든 효소작용을 억제하지 못했으며 exo-PG만은 모든 농약의 의하여 상당히 억제되었다. 그 중에서 Difolatan은 모든 펙틴질분해효소를 가장 잘 억제시켰다. $0.2M;Ca^{++}$과 $0.02M;Fe^{+++}$은 펙틴질분해효소를 거의 억제시켰으나 섬유소분해효소는 같은 농도에서 각각 $30\%,;70\%$에 이르렀다. Formalin은 exo-PG와 endo-PMG를 완전 억제시켰으나 다른 효소 특히 Cx는 그렇지 못했다. $0.8\%$ Difolatan은 모든 효소를 $0.8\%$이상 억제하였으나 Cx는 그 이하였다. C. destructans가 분필하는 섬유소분해효소 및 펙틴질분해효소는 인삼뿌리썩음병과 밀접한 관계를 가지고 있으며 이 병을 효과적으로 방제하기 위하여 억제되어야 하겠다.
The activities of pectolytic and cellulolytic enzymes produced from slices of ginseng root infected with Cylindrocarpon destructains(Zins.) Scholtern were proportional to each concentration and reaction time. Activities of cellulase(Cx), endo-polygalacturonase(endo-PG), endo-polymethylg-alacturonase(endo-PMG), exo-polygalacturonase(exe-PG), and exe-polymethylgalacturonase(exo-PMG) were maximum on the 4th day after inoculation. No endo-PG and endo-PMG were detected at the first and second days, while exo-PG exo-PMG were active. On the 6th day, all pectic enzymes were completely lost, whereas Cx remained at a high concentration. pH optima of Cx, endo-PG, endo-PMG, exo-PG, and exo-PMG were 6.0, 5.5, 8.0, 7.0 to 7.5, and 8.5, respectively. Temperature optima of Cx, endo-PG, endo-PMG exo-PG, and exo-PMG were $66^{circ}C;53^{circ}C;41^{circ}C;37^{circ}C;and;40^{circ}C$, respectively. Cx was only inhibited by $0.05M; Hg^{++}$ among 16 ions tested. Inhibitory effects of ions on pectolytic enzymes varied, however$M Fe^{+++};and;0.05M;Al^{+++}$ were the best in general. Among 8 fungicides, none of them inhibited all the enzymes studied at $0.1\%$, active ingredients. Exo-PG were highly inhibited by all of the fungicides, of which difolatan was the most inhibitory to all the pectic enzymes. $Ca^{++}; at; 0.02M; and;Fe^{+++};at;0.02M$ completely inhibited all the pectolytic enzymes, and Cx was inhibited $30\%$ and $70\%$ at the same concentration, respectively Formalin almost inhibited exo-PG and exe-PMG at $0.8\%$ but not the other enzymes especially Cx. Difolatan at $0.8\%$ inhibited all the enzymes concerned above $80\%$. The cellulolytic and pectolytic enzymes of C. destructans must be closely associated with the ginseng root rot and should be inhibited to control the disease effectively.
