Sclerotinia sp. (isolate BWC98-105) causes stem blight and root rot in Leghum sp., and is presently being evaluated as a potential mycoherbicide for the control of Trifoliorium repens. Bioassays have shown that Sclerotinia sp. produces phytotoxic substance which is biologically active against T. repens. Two biologically active compounds, designated as compoundsI and II, were produced in vitro from the culture filtrate of BWC98-105 isolate Sclerotium sp. Compounds I and II were purified by means of liquid-liquid extraction and $C_{18}$ open column chromatography (300 ${\times}$ 30 mm, i.d). To determine the purity, the purified compounds were analyzed by RP-HPLC. The analytical RP-HPLC column was a TOSOH ODS-120T (150 ${\times}$ 4.6 mm i.d, Japan), of which the flow rate was set at 0.7 mL/min using the linear gradient solvent system initiated with 15 % methanol to 85 % methanol for 50 min with monitoring at 254 nm. Under these RP-HPLC conditions, compounds I and II eluted at 3.49 and 4.13 min, respectively. Compound II was found to be most potent and host specific. However, compound I had a unique antibiotic activity against phytopathogenic bacteria like bacterial leaf blight (Xanthomonas oryzae) on rice, where it played a less important role in producing toxicity on T. repens. No toxin activity was detected in the water fraction after partitioning with several organic solvents. However, toxin activity was detected in the ethyl acetate and butanol fractions. In the leaf bioassay using compound II, the disease first appeared within 4-5 h as water soaked rot, which subsequently developed into well-defined blight affecting the whole plant.

Antioxidant activity is important for reducing oxidative stress that causes various metabolic disorders. Metabolic disorders are highly related to loss of productivity in livestock. Therefore, development of effective antioxidant compounds originating from plants is important for organic agriculture. Phenolic compounds in edible plants are regarded as major components relevant to antioxidant activity. The present study investigated the changes in antioxidant activity and phenolic compound profiles of Aronia (Aronia meloncarpa) by fermentation using different strains of Leuconostoc mesenteroides. A total of 5 strains of L. mesenteroides were used as starter cultures and their ${\beta}$-glucosidase activities were measured. A total of 6 experiment runs were prepared, one for control (uninoculated) and the others (inoculated) for treatments. For biological activity, antioxidant and antibacterial activities were measured. For phenolic compound profiling, TLC and HPLC analysis were performed. The strains of KACC12313 and KACC12315 showed greater enzyme activity than others. Treatment with KCCM35046 showed strong and broad antibacterial activity against to Listeria monocytogenes. Treatments with KCCM35046 and KACC12315 showed the highest total polyphenol content. The highest antioxidant activity was found in KACC12315 treatment. No remarkable alteration was found in thin layer chromatography (TLC) analysis. In phenolic compound profiling analysis, KCCM35046 showed notable alteration in compound area ratio compared to others and also showed the highest caffeic acid content. In chlorogenic acid, treatments with KCCM35046 and KACC12315 showed great content than others. Treatment with KACC12315 showed the greatest content of trans-ferulic acid. As a result of relative performance indexing analysis, L. mesenteroides KCCM35046 and KACC12315 were selected as the best strain for the fermentation of Aronia.

Starters of lactic acid bacteria(LAB) were isolated from the commercial yoghurt products and the four isolates have been studied on their identification and some physiological characteristics. For the purpose of identification, microscopic examination, API test, and 16s rRNA gene sequencing were conducted. Isolate A from a yogurt product of local dairy company A was shown to be Gram-positive rod-shaped bacterium. All strains isolated were turned out to be as Lactobacillus paracasei by using a API 50 CHL kit. In contrast, isolate A was identified as a strain of Lactobacillus helveticus based on the 16S rRNA sequencing data, and L. casei ssp. casei for both B and D and L. paracasei for C. All the isolates survived the simulated gastric juice, pH 2.0 within 3 hours and sharply decreased in viability so that no viable cell was observed after 4.5 hours incubation. In addition, the four isolated strains were almost identical in antibiotic susceptibility to six different kinds of antibiotics including erythromycin ($15\;{\mu}g$), ampicillin ($10\;{\mu}g$), gentamycin ($10\;{\mu}g$), neomycin ($30\;{\mu}g$), but rather resistant to colistin ($10\;{\mu}g$) and streptomycin ($10\;{\mu}g$). It was noteworthy that four isolates were confirmed to produce antibacterial substance against foodborne pathogens of Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus and Gram-negative Escherichia coli 0157:H7 as test organisms based on the inhibitory zones on an MRS soft agar medium. At presence, the inhibitory factor is unknown so that further studies are required to ascertain the active factor responsible for the inhibitory activities.

Purpose : Hypochlorous acid (HOCl), a major inorganic bactericidal compound of innate immunity, is effective against a broad range of microorganisms. In particular, HOCl is well-known as a non-antibiotic antimicrobial substance. However, effects of HOCl as an antimicrobial agent are still needed to study these functions against various specific type of microorganisms. In this study, we investigated the antimicrobial effect of hypochlorous acid (HOCl) in S. mutans and A. actinomycetemcomitans to cause dental caries and periodontal disease. Experiments were conducted to observe whether HOCl become effective replacement of disinfectant. Methods : To observe antimicrobial effect of HOCl, stabilized HOCl is prepared in the form of a physiologically balanced solution in pre-conditioned and post-conditioned HOCl solution. As a control, commercially available disinfectant MAXCLEAN was used as positive control. Moreover, S. mutans and A. actinomycetemcomitans distribution in gagrin, filtered tap water, and culture media. Cell viability were measured by viable cell count methods and disk diffusion test. Results : Our results showed that treatment of HOCl have no effect against antimicrobial effect compare to control group especially gagrin in disk diffusion test. HOCl tended to reduced viability against S. mutans in group of post-conditioned than pre-conditioned of HOCl solution however, there was no significant difference as well as no effect in A. actinomycetemcomitans. Conclusion : HOCl showed tendency to reduce viability against S. mutans in group of post-conditioned of HOCl solution and no effect of antimicrobial effect. Although HOCl is well known as effective against a broad range of microorganisms, HOCl seems to have diversity following type of species to be used as antimicrobial drug following our results. Therefore, it is necessary to be rigidly controlled and regulated in using HOCl solution clinically.

고추 역병이 발병된 토양 시료에서 길항미생물을 선발 및 개량하여 다시 현장에 적용했을 때 방제능 및 적응력이 높은 생물 방제균을 선발하고자 총 300여점의 경북 북부지역의 토양시료로부터 길항능이 우수한 균주를 분리하였으며, 이들을 대상으로 고추 역병균에 대한 항진균력이 가장 우수한 균주 AM-651을 최종 선발하였다. 분리균주 AM-651은 생리생화학적 특성과 16S rDNA sequencing의 방법을 이용하여 동정한 결과 Bacillus sp.로 동정되었다. 항진균성 활성물질의 생산을 위한 배지의 최적조건은 Davis minimal media를 변형하여 배양하였을 경우 pH 7, 온도 $30^{\circ}C$ 조건에서 고추 역병균에 대한 항진균 활성이 높았으며, 탄소원으로는 0.5% glucose, 질소원으로는 0.1% $(NH_4)_2SO_4$, 무기염으로는 0.7% $K_2HPO_4$를 첨가하였을 때 가장 높은 활성을 보였다 선발된 Bacillus sp. AM-651 균주를 시간대별로 배양 후 항진균력을 측정 해 본 결과 48시간 배양액에서 고추 역병균에 대한 억제율이 가장 높았다. 또한, Bacillus sp. AM-651의 배양액은 pH와 온도의 변화에서 안정된 활성을 보였다. Bacillus sp. AM-651은 고추 역병 외에도 B. sorokiniana, B. cinerea, R. solani 등에 대하여 항진균 활성이 높았고, 다른 식물성 병원균에 대해서도 비교적 항진균 활성이 높게 나타났다. 열처리한 Bacillus sp. AM-651 배양상등액은 처리전과 비슷한 항진균 활성을 가지므로 열에 안정한 물질인 것으로 추측되었다.

The purpose of this study is to investigate effects of natural incense on the preservation of paper- and textile-based remains and the kinds and applications of natural anti-insect incense by reviewing relevant literatures of the ancient times. There are few ancient literatures of incense published in Korea. The researcher deducted how incense was used in this nation through reviewing verses contained in ancient literatures and medical books. In contrast, the kinds and applications of anti-insect incense used in China, where incense culture prospered, were investigated here through reviewing technical books about incense published during the Song(宋) and Ming(明) periods, $\ll$Incense record(香譜)$\gg$, $\ll$Chen's Incense record(陳氏香譜)$\gg$ and $\ll$Incense record(香乘)$\gg$. There were several methods of keeping clothes better from insects. In relation, how to use anti-insect incense varied in accordance with main materials of clothes, paper, textile, leather and others. Cymbopogon dstans(芸香), Brassica rapu var and Incarvillea sinensis(角蒿) are anti-insect incense which were used for paper. Anti-insect incense for textiles is classified into single and mixed incenses depending on whether only one kind of incense was used or more than seven kinds of the substance. Acori rhizoma(菖蒲), Capsella bursa-pastoris(薺菜花), Lactuca sativa L., Erigeron canadensis(莽草), Stemona japonica(百部) and Moschus sifanicus(麝香) are single anti-insect incense which were used for textile. While, the latter was called. ‘Yi Xiang(衣香)’ is mixed anti-insect incense which was used for textile. Artemisia asiatica(艾葉) and Zanthoxylum schinifolium(花椒) are anti-insect incense which were used for leather. Angelica dahurica(芳香) and Bamboo are anti-insect incense which were used for others. There were three main methods of using incense to prevent insects, that is, diffusing incense's strong scent and ingredients, exposing to smokes from burnt incense and washing with incense-boiled water. Diffusing incenses had a strong scent and antibiotic ingredients, which were put between books or clothes or into a storage box without being processed. If necessary, however, they were processed into rough powders that were in turn used singly, or otherwise mixed for a stronger scent and better insect elimination. Exposing to smokes from burnt incense was done as follows. A clothes was put on 'Long(籠)' underneath which there was a boiling water. The clothes was humidified by the water and then exposed to smokes from burnt incense. 'Long(籠)' had been long used since it was manufactured in the QinHan(秦漢) period for the first time. A local literature, $\ll$Koryo TuGing(高麗圖經)$\gg$ shows that in the Koryo(高麗) period, BoShaLu(博山爐) were used as a means of exposing clothes to smokes to prevent moths, similarly to China. Washing clothes with incense-boiled water was more effective in removing lots of worms and germs from clothes, but leaving the scent and ingredients of the used incense and maintaining the effect of anti-insect.

The effect of SNC(silver nano colloid) on the emission reduction of odors such as ammonia ($NH_3$), hydrogen sulfide ($H_2S$), and methane ($CH_4$) from swine excreta was studied. Silver has been used as an universal antibiotic substance and can reduce the emission of some gases by sterilizing action. Therefore, an apparatus which produces SNC was developed and was conducted its performance test. Also, the SNC made by the apparatus was applied to swine excreta sampled from a piggery in oder to find the effect on the reduction of odor emission. An electrolysis apparatus was developed to produce SNC and its capacity was 0.024 ppm/$hr{\cdot}L$. The effects of SNC on the reduction of odor emission from swine excreta were tested for bad smell gases of ammonia ($NH_3$), hydrogen sulfide ($H_2S$) and methane ($CH_4$). For ammonia gas, factorial experiments were conducted to find the effects of concentration and application rate of SNC. The test results for the different concentrations of 20 ppm, 50 ppm, and 100 ppm showed that the more concentration of SNC was increased, the more emission reduction of ammonia gas increased. From the test results about the effect of application rate, the more SNC was applied, the more emission reduction of $NH_3$ increased. In order to reduce the concentration of $NH_3$ below 5 ppm, SNC of 50 ppm is recommended to be applied at an interval of 6 hours, and is mixed with swine excreta in the volumetric ratio of 4:1. For hydrogen sulfide gas, the concentration was decreased as time went by and was reduced rapidly in the first stage of the tests for all applied concentrations of SNC (20 ppm, 50 ppm, and 100 ppm). Especially, when 100 ml of SNC with 100 ppm was applied, emission of hydrogen sulfide gas was reduced rapidly during early 4 hours after the application of SNC. And, concentration of hydrogen sulfide gas was maintained below 20 ppm after 12 hours. For methane gas, t-test showed that there was no significance on the effect of its application for all applied concentrations of SNC. Therefore, it was concluded that the application of SNC on swine excreta had no effect on the emission reduction of $CH_4$.

Helicosporium spp.의 식물병원균 Rhizoctonia solani와 Fusarium oxysporium, Phytophthora drechsleri에 대한 항균 활성을 실내와 야외에서 검정하였다. Helicosporium 0635BP 균주는 Rhizoctonia solani와 Fusarium oxysporium에 대해 PDA배지상에서 강한 균사억제 효과를 보였다. 살균한 배양여액 50 ml/L 처리 시 잔디 갈색퍼짐병균(Rhizoctonia solani AG2-2)에 대한 높은 생장억제효과를 보였다. 배양여액 20%에 4시간 동안 침지하거나 50% 배양여액에 1시간 침지 시 Rhizoctonia solani AG2-2 IV는 100% 사멸하였다. 골프장 들잔디에서 Helicosporium 0635BP 균주의 배약여액 처리 시 10배액까지 잔디 갈색퍼짐병의 병 진전을 대조약제와 동일하게 100% 억제하였다. 따라서 Helicosporium 0635BP 배양액은 잔디 갈색퍼짐병의 생물적 방제인자로 활용가능 할 것으로 생각되며 실용화를 위하여 대량배양과 항균 물질의 정제와 동정이 필요할 것으로 보인다.
