This study was conducted to empirically analyze the effects and interactions among beneficial bacteria, commensal bacteria, and acne bacteria, which are factors in the skin microbiomes, on detrimental bacteria by 289 people, who are 20 to 49 years old among Koreans. As a result of multiple regression models using bio big data of skin microbiomes, when the difference in skin microbiomes according to the sex and age of the subjects was controlled, the beneficial bacteria showed a negative (-) effect on the detrimental bacteria, while the commensal and acne bacteria showed a positive (+) effect. Particularly, the negative (-) effect of beneficial bacteria on detrimental bacteria was different through interaction with acne bacteria according to the level of commensal bacteria. These results demonstrate that the activation of beneficial bacteria inhibits detrimental bacteria, and the effect of skin microbiomes on detrimental bacteria is balanced with skin microbiomes through interaction with independent influence. Therefore, it is suggested that when studying skin microbiomes products to help the proliferation of beneficial bacteria and to create a skin environment that inhibits detrimental bacteria in the personalized cosmetics manufacturing industry, it is necessary to consider the independent effects and interactions among skin microbiome factors together.

사람의 장내에 서식하는 장내세균은 사람의 건강을 지켜주는 유용균과 나쁜 영향을 주는 유해균이 있으며 이들 양자의 균형에 의하여 건강상태가 조절되고 있다. 사람의 건강에 대단히 중요한 역할을 하는 유용균의 대표적인 것이 Bifidobacterium이다. 이 Bifidobacterium은 장내에서 lactic acid 및 acetic acid를 생산하여 장내의 pH를 산성으로 유지시키고 부패균의 증식을 억제하는 역할을 하며 신체를 유해세균의 작용으로부터 방어하는 역할을 하고 있다. 현재 우리나라에서 사용하고 있는 Bifidobacterium은 대부분 외국에서 개발된 것으로 한국인에게 어느 정도 효과가 있는지에 대해서는 아직 정확한 보고가 없으며 한국인의 장내균총으로부터 유산균이 분리된다면 한국인에게 가장 잘 정착될 수 있는 균주일 것으로 생각된다.

Strains of lactic acid bacteria were isolated from a variety of fermented foods collected in Korea. The strain L2167 showed a strong antipathogenic activity against Bacillus cereus, Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella Typhimurium, Staphylococcus aureus, and Staphylococcus epidermidis. L2167 was identified as Lactobacillus plantarum by sequence analysis of its 16S rRNA gene. Scanning electron microscopy revealed rough and wrinkled morphology of B. cereus, L. monocytogenes, S. Typhimurium, S. aureus, and S. epidermidis cell membranes after treatment with a crude cell extract of L. plantarum L2167, indicating that Lactobacillus plantarum L2167 might destroy the cell membrane of pathogenic bacteria. The optimal temperature and initial medium pH for Lactobacillus plantarum L2167 growth were 35℃ and 5.5, respectively. Lactobacillus plantarum L2167 was more sensitive to NaCl than Lactobacillus plantarum KCTC21004, used as a control strain. Lactobacillus plantarum L2167 is expected to be developed as a prominent starter strain for efficient inhibition of growth of pathogens.

The presence of bacterial strains showing antagonistic activity to common pathogens found in a variety of fermented foods in Korea was explored. A bacterium inhibiting the growth of pathogens such as Aspergillus terreus (KCTC6178), A. flavus (KCTC6984), Staphylococcus aureus (KCCM12214), Escherichia coli O157:H7 (KCCM40406), Bacillus cereus (KCTC1012), Cryptococcus neoformans (ATCC208821), Salmonella typhimurium (ATCC19430), and Listeria monocytogenes (KCTC3569) was isolated from Makgeolli, a Korean traditional rice wine. The strain showing high antipathogenic activity was identified as B. amyloliquefaciens based on the nucleotide sequence of the 16S ribosomal RNA gene. Compared with B. amyloliquefaciens KCTC1660, whose genome has been sequenced, the isolate exhibited significantly low activities of starch-degrading enzymes and high resistance to high temperature and low pH.

유산균의 증식으로 인해 설사 등의 원인인 유해균들의 증식이 억제되는데 이것은 유산균들이 만드는 각종 유기산들, 과산화수소에 의한 직접적인 저해나 산생성에 부수되는 pH 저하가 원인이고 그 외 유산균들이 만드는 nisin이나 각종 bacteriocin 등도 관여한다. 유산균을 이용한 발효 유제품이 소비증가, 유산균의 약리작용 효과를 이용한 건강보조식품의 개발 등을 통하여 유산균의 중요성은 더욱 대두되고 있다. 이 같은 추세로 전세계적으로 유산균에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있으며, 최근에는 생명공학 분야에서 광범위하게 이용되고 있는 유전공학 기술에 의한 유산균의 개발연구가 관심을 모으고 있다. 본 논문에서는 현재까지 진행되고 있는 유산균 연구 중 유전공학기술을 이용한 연구결과와 이 분야의 향후 전망 등에 대하여 고찰하였다.

It is said that the reason Bulgarians enjoy longevity is that they have a lot of yogurt, whose $Lactobacillus$ controls intestinal poison-producing germs. In young individuals, the number of bifidobacteria exceeds 10 billion per 1 g of intestinal content, but this number decreases for older or senile individuals, who have a larger number of harmful microorganisms such as $Clostridium$. In addition, it is well known that artificially increasing intestinal bifidobacteria can help control harmful microorganisms and thus facilitate a healthier and longer life. The microorganisms used for artificial spawn are referred to as probiotic microorganisms, and in general, lactic acid bacteria(LAB) are used. Unlike antibiotics, which kill harmful microorganisms, probiotic microorganisms coexist with and control them, while improving the health of the individual, that is, they can improve and invigorate host cells. Because probiotic microorganisms and its products based on LAB are known to help prevent and treat constipation, diarrhea, intestinal inflammation, and blood cholesterol and generally improve health through the purification of intestines, its market has been continuously expanding. Korea imports approximately 90% of spawn and uses them. It is likely that they are not appropriate for Korean's physical condition. Thus, considering this problem into account, Entecbio, a biotech firm in Korea, has produced various products by using its proprietary microorganisms. In this paper, the effects, characteristics, and kinds of products from based on proprietary microorganisms, with its prospect for market, etc., are generally examined.

we have screened the microorganisms from piglet intestines for the development of probiotics which have acid and bile tolerance and the growth inhibition of pathogenic E. coli and Salmonella. Among them, a strain which was identified as Lactobacillus salivarius was selected. It had around 50% of survival after 2h incubation in the artificial gastric juice and 76% of survival after 24h incubation in the presence of 0.3% bile salts, and also showed complete inhibition against both pathogenic E. coli and Salmonella after 24h coincubation. Also, its storage stability after lyophilization was improved by adding polyvinylpyrrolidone.

The skin is colonized by a large number of microorganisms with a stable composition of species. However, disease states of skin such as acne vulgaris, psoriasis, and atopic dermatitis have specific microbiome compositions that are different from those of healthy skin. The target modulation of the skin microbiome can be a potential treatment for these skin diseases. Quorum sensing (QS), a bacterial cell-cell communication system, can control the survival of bacteria and increase cell density. Also, QS affects the pathogenicity of bacteria such as biofilm formation and protease production. In this study, we confirmed anti-QS activity of Amorepacific patented ingredients, which are Lactobacillus ferment lysate (using Lactobacillus plantarum APsulloc 331261, KCCM 11179P) through bio-reporter bacterial strain Chromobacterium violaceum. The purple pigment production of C. violaceum controlled by QS was reduced 27.3% by adding 10 ㎍/mL of Lactobacillus ferment lysate (freeze dried). In addition, the Lactobacillus ferment lysate increased growth of Staphylococcus epidermidis 12% and decreased growth of Pseudomonas aeruginosa 38.5% and its biofilm formation 17.7% at a concentration of 10 ㎍/mL compared to the untreated control group. Moreover, S. epidermidis was co-cultured with the representative dermatological bacterium Staphylococcus aureus in the same genus, the growth of S. epidermidis was increased 134 % and the growth of S. aureus was decreased 13%. These results suggest that fermented lysate using Lactobacillus plantarum APsulloc 331261 may be useful as a cosmetic ingredient that can control the balance of skin microbiome.

장내세균은 음식물, 스트레스, 생활환경에 의해 영향을 받으며 그 결과 장내 세균이 생산하는 효소활성도 영향을 받는다. 장내미생물효소는 질병과 밀접한 관계를 갖고 있으며 장내의 pH와 효소저해제에 의해 영향을 받는 데 장내의 높은 pH에 의해 $\beta$-glucosidase, $\beta$-glucuronidase, tryptophanase 등의 장내유해효소활성이 유도되므로 장내의 pH를 낮춤으로써 효소활성을 저하시킬 수 있다. Bifidobacterium은 장내에서 lactic acid, acetic acid를 생산하여 장내의 pH를 낮추며 유해균의 증식을 억제하고 유해효소의 활성을 억제하는 역할을 할 것으로 기대된다. 특히 한국인으로부터 분리된 유산균일 경우 한국인의 장내에 가장 잘 정착되며 장내미생물의 유해효소를 효과적으로 억제할 것으로 생각된다.
