Abstract

Terminal-restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP) analysis, one of rapid culture-independent microbial community analysis methods, was used to determine the lactic acid bacterial complexity and dynamics during kimchi fermentation at $15^{\circ}C$ and $4^{\circ}C$. At both temperatures, the common presence of Leuconostoc mesenteroides, Lc. inhae, Lc. kimchi, Weissella koreensis, W. cibaria, Lactobacillus sakei, Lb. curvatus, Lb. plantarum, Lb. paraplantarum, Lb. pentosus, and Lb. brevis was predicted. Lc. citreum and Enterococcus faecalis were detected at $15^{\circ}C$ and $4^{\circ}C$, respectively. W. koreensis predominated during the mid stage of kimchi fermentation whereas lactobacilli were dominants during later stage. Lb. sakei and Lb. curvatus became dominants regardless of fermentation temperature but the growth of Lb. plantarum, Lb. paraplantarum, Lb. pentosus, and Lb. brevis was restricted at psychrophilic temperature. Some species of leuconostocs were maintained until the later stage of kimchi fermentation.

미생물 구조 및 집단 구성원의 변화를 배양에 의존하지 않고, 빠르게 평가할 수 있는 방법의 하나인 terminal-restriction fragment length polymorphism (I-RFLP) 분석을 김치 유산균 연구에 적용하여, $15^{\circ}C$$4^{\circ}C$ 발효 김치에 관여하는 유산균의 다양성과 역동성을 검토하였다. 두 발효온도에서 공통적으로 Leuconostoc mesenteroides, Lc, inhae, Lc. kimchii, Weissella koreensis, W. cibaria, Lactobacillus sakei, Lb. curvatus, Lb. plantarum, Lb. paraplantarum, Lb. pentosus, 및 Lb. brevis의 존재가 예상되었고, Lc. citreum과 Enterococcus faecalis는 각각 $15^{\circ}C$$4^{\circ}C$에서 검출되었다. W. koreensis는 중기발효에 우점을 점하였고, Lactobacillus 속은 발효 후기의 우점종으로 나타났다. Lb. sakei, Lb. curvatus는 발효온도에 관계 없이 우점종을 형성하였지만, Lb. plantarum, Lb. paraplantarum, Lb, pentosus와 Lb. brevis의 생육은 저온에서 잘 일어나지 않았다. 몇 종의 Leuconostoc 속 유산균은 발효 후기까지 생장이 유지되었다.
