PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an antibacterial activator using saponin derived from Allium fistulosum. L.SOLUTION: The antibacterial activator having safe germicidal activities against plant pathogenic bacteria and human opportunistic bacteria, and originated from a natural product includes the saponin extracted from roots and stem plates of the Allium fistulosum. L as an active ingredient, because it is found that the saponin-containing material extracted from the roots and stem plates of the Allium fistulosum. L, which are refuse, exhibits the germicidal activities against the plant pathogenic bacteria causing large damage on farm crops, and the human opportunistic bacteria.COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT【課題】ネギ(Allium fistulosum.L)由来のサポニンを用いた抗菌活性剤を提供する。【解決手段】廃材であるネギの根および盤茎から抽出したサポニン含有物が、農作物に多大な被害を与える植物病原菌や、ヒト日和見細菌に殺菌効果を示すことを見出し、ネギの根および盤茎から抽出したサポニンを有効成分とする、植物病原菌およびヒト日和見細菌に対する天然物由来の安全な殺菌作用を有する抗菌活性剤。【選択図】図5
