유아 분변으로부터 분리한 52 균주는 그람 양성균인 Listeria monocytogenes KCCM 40307$^T$에 대하여 항균활성이 있었고 그 중에서도 선별 균주 A24의 항균활성이 45% 이상으로 가장 높았다. Bifidobacterium longum A24의 생육 및 항균 물질 생산을 검토하였을 때 균체의 생육은 28시간 배양 시 최고에 도달하였고 항균 활성은 36시 간 배양 시 최고를 나타내었다. 선별균주 A24는 16S rRNA-based molecular typing 결과Bifidobacterium 속 균주임을 확인할 수 있었고 형태학적 ${\cdot}$ 생화학적인 방법으로 검토하여 보았을 때 Bifidobacterium longum으로 판단되었으며, 16s rDNA sequencing 결과 최종적으로 Bifidobacterium longum로 동정 되었으며 이것을 Bifidobacterium longum A24로 명명하였다. Bifidobacterium longum A24의 항균 활성 물질은 균체의 생육이 가장 좋은 28시간 배양에서가 아니라 그보다 늦은 36시간 배양에서 최고를 나타내었고 그 이후로는 활성이 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 이것은 Bifidobacterium longum A24이 생성하는 항균 활성 물질이 bacteriocin과 같은 2차 대사 산물임을 암시하는 결과로 해석된다.

This study was carried out to characterize the antilisterial substances produced by Leuconostoc sp. W65 and to evaluate the effects of pH, temperature, and time on inhibitory activity using response surface methodology. Leucocin W65, an antilisterial substance produced by Leuconostoc sp. W65, markedly inhibited the growth of Listeria monocytogenes, L. innocua, and L. ivanovii, whereas other pathogens including Gram-negative bacteria were not susceptible. The pH was the most effective factor with regard to bacteriocin activity, while temperature and time of heat treatment had no significant effect. Fifty percent of inhibitory activity remained after 22.8 min at pH 4.2 and $121^{\circ}C$. Leucocin W65 was purified by ammonium sulfate precipitation, hydrophobic interaction chromatography, and tricine-SDS-PAGE. Compositional analysis originally estimated the peptide to be 56 amino acids in length without asparagine, glutamine, and tryptophane. The sequence of partial N-terminal amino acid residues of purified bacteriocin was identified as follows: $NH_{2}-XGXAGVXPXGGQQPXVPLXYP$.

Screening for antilisterial activity was performed in about three thousand isolates of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) from Chinese cabbage kimchi, and finally based on the relatively stronger antilisterial activities eight bacterial strains were selected. The bacteria were further characterized in terms of their tolerance to artificial gastric juice, pH 2.5, bile salts (0.3% oxgall), and to the different NaCl concentrations. Of the isolates, YK005 was especially investigated for its physiological characteristics due to its inhibitory activity against gram-positive Listeria monocytogenes as well as gram-negative Escherichia coli O157:H7, as they have been constantly reported to be resistant against bacteriocins produced by a number of LAB strains. YK005 was found to be rod-shaped, $3.8\;{\mu}m$ long ${\times}\;0.5\;{\mu}m$ wide, non-sporeforming, non-motile, catalase-negative, and produced gas from glucose (heterolactic). Based on the biochemical data obtained by API 50 CHL medium, the isolate was tentatively identified as Lactobacillus brevis. To validate the result obtained by the biochemical identification, rRNA-based PCR experiments using a pair of species-specific primers for L. brevis were conducted and a single band of 1400 bp was observed, which strongly indicated that YK005 belongs to L. brevis. The LAB isolates are potentially exploited as human probiotic organisms and are employed to control some food-borne pathogens like L. monocytogenes.

From the previous study, Enterococcus faecium SH01 was isolated from mukeunji, an over-ripened kimchi, and it produced bacteriocin SH01. Bacteriocin SH01 showed an inhibitory effect against Listeria monocytogenes ATCC 19111, a bacterial strain causing human listeriosis. Crude bacteriocin SH01 was purified by ammonium sulfate precipitation and its inhibitory activity at two concentrations (500 and 1,000 AU/g) against Listeria monocytogenes ATCC 19111 was investigated in ground beef at increasing temperatures (5, 10, 15, and 20℃) for 8 d. The number of Listeria monocytogenes ATCC 19111 significantly decreased (p<0.05) as the concentration of bacteriocin increased from 500 to 1,000 AU/g. Intrinsic crude protease activities in ground beef were examined and increased as the temperature increased. Experiments varying both the concentrations of added bacteriocin SH01 and temperature demonstrated a maximum inhibition (2.33 log reduction of bacteria) in samples containing 1,000 AU/g of bacteriocin SH01 incubated at 20℃. When the crude bacteriocin SH01 solution (1,280 AU/mL) was incubated with crude protease solutions at different temperatures, its activity decreased by only half (640 AU/mL), as assessed in an agar well diffusion assay. The finding that the antilisterial activity of bacteriocin SH01 increased with temperature can be explained by the fact that higher temperatures increase bacterial membrane fluidity, thereby promoting the cellular penetration of bacteriocin SH01 into L. monocytogenes. Bacteriocin SH01 may be an excellent candidate as a biopreservative for controlling L. monocytogenes growth in ground beef.

본 연구는 백김치로부터 분리된 Lactobacillus paracasei BK57의 항균물질 생산을 위한 최적의 배양 조건을 검색하고, BK57 유산균으로 프레쉬 치즈를 제조한 후 균주의 활성과 유산 및 박테리오신 생산량을 측정하여 Listeria monocytogenes KCTC 3569에 대한 항균 활성을 조사하였다. 최대의 균 증식과 항균 물질 생산량은 pH 6.0으로 조정한 MRS broth에서 $37^{\circ}C$, 24시간 동안 호기적인 조건으로 배양했을 때 나타났다. 하지만, 효모추출물(2.0%)을 첨가한 전유 내에서 생성된 항균물질의 양과 유산균의 증식률은 MRS broth에서 보다는 다소 낮았다. 우유 내에서 L. monocytogenes의 저해율은 BK57 균주의 생균과 배양 상등액에 의해 높게 나타났으나, 유산균이 생산한 박테리오신에 의한 저해율은 우유 보다는 BHI broth 내에서 더 높게 나타났다. BK57 균주로 발효시킨 프레쉬 치즈를 $4^{\circ}C$와 $15^{\circ}C$에서 6일간 저장하는 동안 유산균수, 유산 생성량 및 박테리오신 활성은 유의한 변화가 없었다. 제조 직 후 프레쉬 치즈에 인위적으로 접종한 L. monocytogenes ($10^5CFU/ml$)의 균수는 각각의 온도대에서 6일 이내에 최소 15% 이상 감소되는 효과가 나타났으므로 BK57 균주를 발효유제품 제조에 이용할 경우 리스테리아균을 제어할 수 있는 생물학적 보존제로서의 가치를 확인하였다.

A lactic acid bacterium presenting antimicrobial activity against a Lactobacillus acidophilus strain used for eradication of acid inhibition was isolated from a natural cheese. The 16S rRNA gene sequence of the isolate best matched with a strain of L. rhamnosus and was designated L. rhamnosus CJNU 0519. The antimicrobial activity of the partially purified bacteriocin of CJNU 0519 was abolished when treated with a protease, indicating the protein nature of the bacteriocin. The partially purified bacteriocin (rhamnocin 519) displayed a narrow antimicrobial activity against L. acidophilus, Listeria monocytogenes, and Staphylococcus aureus among several tested bacterial and yeast strains. Rhamnocin 519 in particular showed strong bactericidal action against L. monocytogenes.

Enterococcus faecium MJ-14, having strong antilisterial activity, was isolated from Korean fermented food, Meju. MJ-14 showed the same phenotypic characteristics, but different sugar utilization, as reference strain, E. faecium KCCM12118. It could utilize D-xylose, amygdaline, and gluconate, whereas E. faecium KCCM12118 could not. Optimal condition for bacteriocin production by E. faecium MJ-14 was at $37^{\circ}C$ and pH 7.0. Bacteriocin activity appeared in mid exponential phase and increased rapidly up to stationary phase. Activity was significantly promoted in MRS broth containing 3.0% glucose, 1.5% lactose, 2.0% peptone, or 1.5% tryptone. Bacteriocins effectively inhibited Enterococcus faecalis and Listeria spp. of Gram-positive bacteria, and Helicobacter pylori of Gram-negative bacteria, but did not inhibit yeasts and molds. They were stable against heat (for 30 min at $100^{\circ}C$), pH (3.0-9.0), long-term storage (for 60 days at 4 or $-20^{\circ}C$), and enzymatic digestion by catalase, proteinase K, papain, lysozyme, trypsin, chymotrypsin, and lipase, etc. Bacteriocin activity was completely inhibited by protease and pepsin, and 50% by ${\alpha}$-amylase. Studies on PCR detection of enterocin structural genes revealed bacteriocins are identical to enterocins A and B.

This study developed an antimicrobial hydrogel to control Listeria monocytogenes in Yukhoe (Korean beef tartare). Four hydrogels (hydrogel 1: 5% alginate+1% chitosan+0.2% $CaCl_2$, hydrogel 2: 1% ${\kappa}$-carrageenan+1% chitosan, hydrogel 3: 2% ${\kappa}$-carrageenan+1% $CaCl_2$, and hydrogel 4: 2% ${\kappa}$-carrageenan+3% $CaCl_2$) were prepared. The hydrogels then absorbed 0.1% grapefruit seed extract (GSE) and 0.1% citrus extract (CE) for 30, 60, 120, and 240 min to be antimicrobial hydrogels. To select the most effective antimicrobial hydrogel, their swelling ratio (SR) and antilisterial activities were determined. The selected hydrogel ($2{\times}2cm$) was then placed on surface of beef (round; $3{\times}3cm$), where L. monocytogenes (ca. $10^6CFU/g$) were inoculated, and the cell counts were enumerated on PALCAM agar. Among the hydrogels, the SR of hydrogel 1 increased with absorbing time, but other hydrogels showed no significant changes. Antimicrobial hydrogel 1 showed higher (p<0.05) antilisterial activity than other antimicrobial hydrogels, especially for the one absorbed the antimicrobial for 120 min. Thus, the antimicrobial hydrogel 1 absorbed antimicrobials for 120 min was applied on raw beef at $4^{\circ}C$, and reduced (p<0.05) more than 90% of L. monocytogenes on raw beef. These results indicate that antimicrobial hydrogel 1 formulated with 0.1% GSE or 0.1% CE is appropriate to improve the safety of Yukhoe by reducing psychrotrophic L. monocytogenes cell counts on raw beef.

우리나라 고유의 전통발효 식품인 메주로부터 항리스테리아 활성을 나타내는 유산균을 분리한 후 동정한 결과 E. faecium MJ5-14로 명명되었으며, 이들의 박테리오신은 MRS broth 중에 $37^{\circ}C$에서 12-18시간 배양하는 동안 최대의 활성을 나타내었다. L. monocytogenes KCTC 3569와 KCTC 3710 및 L. ivanovii subsp. ivanovii에 대한 박테리오신의 활성은 640 BU/mL이었고, L. innocua ATCC 33090, L. ivanovii ATCC 19119, L. grayi KCTC 3581 및 L. seeliger KCTC 3591에 대한 활성은 1280 BU/mL으로 나타났다. L. monovytogenes KCTC 3569와 E. faecium MJ5-14을 혼합 배양한 경우 L. monocytogenes의 감소 효과는 $25^{\circ}C$이하 보다는 E. faecium MJ5-14의 박테리오신 생산 최적 온도인 $37^{\circ}C$에서 더 높게 나타났으며, E. faecium MJ15-14의 박테리오신 항균 효과는 L. monocytogenes KCTC 3569의 초기 균수와 첨가한 박테리오신의 양에 따라 좌우하는 L. monocytogenes의 초기 균수가 적고, 박테리오신의 첨가량이 많을수록 항균효과가 높아짐을 확인하였다. 또한 박테리오신 70 BU/mL 첨가에 의한 항균 효과는 균 증식이 활발한 대수증식기 중반 이후 보다는 유도기 내지는 대수증식기 초반부에 더 크게 나타났다. 한편, 박테리오신 25 BU/mL을 첨가에 의해서 L. monocytogenes KCTC 3569 새포벽의 일부가 얇아지고, 50 BU/mL 이상의 농도에 의해선 세포막이 파괴되면서 세포 내용물의 유출 현상이 관찰되었다.
