Strain HY701 was isolated from human feces for probiotic use by selecting highly resistant isolates to artificial gastric acid and bile acid. Strain HY701 was identified as Lactobacillus reuteri using 16S rDNA sequencing, and tentatively named L. reuteri HY701. The resistance of L. reuteri HY701 to artificial gastric acid (PH 2.5) was high with a survival rate of over 90%. L. reuteri HY701 also showed high tolerance to artificial bile acid after incubation in artificial gastric acid. Using the API ZYM test kit, the carcinogenic enzymes (${\beta}$-glucuronidase and (${\beta}$-glucosidase were not detected with L. reuteri HY70l, while the beneficial enzyme (${\beta}$-galactosidase was weakly detected. L. reuteri HY701 was sensitive to $100\;{\mu}g/mL$ nisin, $20\;{\mu}g/mL$ roxithromycin, $15\;{\mu}g/mL$ erythromycin, but resistant to $20\;{\mu}g/mL$ streptomycin, $10\;{\mu}g/mL$ tetracycline, $20\;{\mu}g/mL$ ciprofloxacin, $20\;{\mu}g/mL$ nystatin, $20\;{\mu}g/mL$ gentamycin, $10\;{\mu}g/mL$ doxycycline, $10\;{\mu}g/mL$ chloramphenicol, and $20\;{\mu}g/mL$ ampicillin. L. reuteri HY701 was shown to possess bactericidal activity as it inhibited the growth of Listeria monocytogenes ATCC 19111 and Escherichia coli JM109 completely within 24 hr of incubation. These results indicate that L. reuteri HY701 could be used as a probiotic strain.

The NADH-cytochrome b5 reductase (NCBR), a mitochondrial external electron carrier, was purified from bovine heart and turnip and their properties were examined. The mitochondrial outer membranes separated were subjected to NCBR isolation through DEAE-Cellulose ion exchange, DEAE-Sephadex gel chromatography, and hydroxyapatite adsorption chromatography. These processes yielded the purification folds of 88 and 42 and the recovery percentages of 0.2%, 5.67% for turnip and bovine heart, respectively. The molecular weight of the NCBR from the two sources was estimated to be 35,000 using SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The Michaelis constant Km and maximum velocity Vmax were determined by measuring the NADH-ferricyanide redox system as well as the NADPH-ferricyanide redox system. The kinetics showed that both NCBRs had higher affinities for NADH than artificial electron-acceptor substrate ferricyanide. Although NADPH had a lower affinity for the enzymes than NADH, this study showed the 2'-phosphate dinucleotide could be used as a substrate.

Background: Panax ginseng is a marvelous herbal remedy for all ailments of body. That may be why it is called Panax, which means "cure for all". Melanin is a pigment that gives color to our skin; however, increased melanin production can lead to tumor formation. Human exposure to ultraviolet B radiation has increased extensively owing to the increased sunlight due to global warming. Consequently, a phenomenon called photoaging has been observed for all skin colors and types. As a result of this phenomenon, a set of enzymes called matrix metalloproteinases, which serve as degradation enzymes for extracellular matrix proteins, mainly collagen, is increased, causing depletion of collagen and resulting in early wrinkle formation. Methods: Therefore, in our study, we used the murine melanoma cell line B16/F10 to study the inhibition of melanogenesis by Korean Red Ginseng (KRG) extract in vitro and HRM-2 hairless mice exposed to artificial ultraviolet B to examine the efficacy of KRG in vivo. We prepared a 3% red ginseng extract cream and evaluated its effects on human skin. Results: Our results demonstrated that KRG induced potent suppression of tyrosinase activity and melanin production in B16/F10 cells; moreover, it reduced the transcription and translation of components involved in the melanin production pathway. In the in vivo experiments, KRG potently suppressed the expression of matrix metalloproteinases, reduced wrinkle formation, and inhibited collagen degradation. On human skin, ginseng cream increased skin resilience and skin moisture and enhanced skin tone. Conclusion: Therefore, we conclude that KRG is an excellent skin whitening and antiaging product.

The radish skin and radish greens are an edible part of the radish. But they are removed before eating the radish and used as a byproduct or an animal feed material because of their tough and rough texture. Melanin is a pigment that gives colour to our skin. But increased production of melanin can turn into benign or malignant tumours. These days due to global warming, the amount of Ultra violet (UVB) rays has been extensively increased with sunlight. Due to this, a phenomenon called exogenous photo aging is widely observed for all skin colour and types. As a result of this phenomenon, a set of enzymes called matrix metalloproteinases (MMP's) that serves as degradation enzymes for extracellular matrix proteins mainly collagen is increased, causing depletion in collagen and resulting in early wrinkles formation. Therefore in our study we used the murine melanoma cell line B16/F10 to study the melanogenesis inhibition by Heated radish extract (HRE) in vitro and we used HRM-2 hair less mice exposed to artificial UVB for checking the efficacy of Heated radish extract in vivo. Furthermore, we prepared a 3% Heated radish extract (HRE) cream and checked its effects on human skin. Our results have clearly demonstrated that Heated radish extract (HRE) have potently suppressed the tyrosinase activity and melanin production in B16/F10 cells. It had also reduced the expression of components involved in melanin production pathway both transcriptionally and transitionally. In in vivo studies, HRE had potently suppressed the expression of MMP's and reduced the wrinkle formation and inhibited collagen degradation. Moreover, on human skin, ginseng cream increased the resilience, skin moisture and enhanced the skin tone. Therefore in light of these findings, we conclude that HRE is an excellent skin whitening and antiaging product.

B. polyfermenticus SCD와 상업적으로 사용되는 생균제들의 pH 2.0, 3.0에서 내산성을 비교한 결과, 2시간에서의 생존율은 pH 2.0, 3.0에서 각각 85.6과 92.6%의 생존율을 나타내었으며 4시간에서도 각각 62.8%와 81.2%의 높은 생존율을 나타내었다. B. polyfermenticus SCD의 인공담즙산에 대한 내성을 확인한 결과, 인공담즙산이 함유되지 않은 대조구($3.2$\times$10^{7}$ CFU/ml)보다 균수($6.5$\times$10^{7$ CFU/ml)가 더 많이 증식되었다. 또한 B. polyfermenticus SCD는 비타민 $B_1$, $B_2$를 생산하고 장내유해균웨 의한 비타민 B군의 분해를 억제하여 영양을 공급한다. 게다가 비타민 C를 다량 생산하여 공급하므로 비타민 C의 항산화작용에 의한 피부노화 방지 및 항암작용 등의 여러 가지 효능들도 기대할 수 있다. B. polyfermenticus SCD의 소화력을 다른 Bacillus sp.과 비교했을 때 지방소화력은 비슷한 활성을 나타내었으나, 전분 소화력은 약 2배, 단백소화력은 약 25배의 높은 소화력을 가지고 있었다. B. polyfermenticus SCD는 낮은 pH에서도 안정성이 확보되었으며 저장온도는 가혹조건($40^{\circ}C$, RH 70%)에서 26.8%거 비교적 낮은 안정성을 나타내었을 뿐 저온 및 실온에서는 매우 안정하였다. 그리고 수중에서와 5% glucose용액, 고농도의 NaCl 에서도 매우 높은 안정성을 나타내어 식품을 포함한 다양한 형태의 제품에 적용했을 때에도 그 안정성이 탁월하여 응용성이 크다고 할 수 있겠다. B. polyfermenticus SCD복용에 따른 장내균총의 변화에서는 Salmonella, E. coli, Staphylococcus등 유해균의 유의성 있는 감소효과를 나타내었으며, 유익균과의 공생작용과 유익균에 대한 생육촉진작용을 나타내었다. 장내 암모니아의 변화에서는 복용 중에 유의성 있는 감소효과를 보였다. 이상의 결과로서 B. polyfermenticus SCD의 생균제로서의 특성은 기능성 식품의 개발 등 산업적으로 매우 유용하다고 판단된다.

The Earth's climate is rapidly changing because of increasing carbon dioxide content in atmosphere so, climate prediction models anticipate that earth surface temperature will rise by 3 to $5^{\circ}C$ in next 50 to 100 years. Therefore, frequency of un-expected weather events such as drought, salinity, low or high temperature and flooding etc. will be increasing worldwide. Furthermore, increased atmosphere temperature can influence pests and pathogens spread as well. Therefore, to protect enormous grain loss from unexpected weather conditions, studies related with combine stress conditions like abiotic plus biotic stress condition are really required. Thus, our research focused on physiological responses under combined abiotic and biotic stress condition in rice plant. To induce uniform stress condition, we used NaCl (100 mM) and salicylic acid (0.5 and 1.0 mM SA) as each stress a stimulator. Each artificial abiotic and biotic stress inducer was applied to hydroponically grown rice seedlings alone or together for four day. The data were collected in a time-dependent manner [1, 2, 3 and 4 day(s) after treatment (DAT)] and were matched with our anticipation that shoot length and shoot fresh weight was decreased in solo and combined abiotic and biotic stress condition. The lipid peroxidation content was significantly increased ($1.5{\pm}0.2$ to $2.7{\pm}0.1mg$ mg of $MDA\;g^{-1}FW$) in the first two days in both stress exposed plants, and showed the opposite trend ($0.5{\pm}0.01$ to $0.1{\pm}0.001mg$ of $MDA\;g^{-1}FW$) in last two days under multi stress condition. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity did not showed difference in only biotic stress condition (alone 0.5 and 1.0 mM SA) as compared to control however, it was significantly increased in multi stress condition or solo abiotic stress condition whereas, catalase (CAT), and ascorbate peroxidase (APX) activities were significantly decreased in solo biotic and combined abiotic and biotic condition. In particular, both enzymes activities were more decreased in multi stress condition as compared to solo biotic stress condition. The results for relative mRNA expression level of CAT and APX enzymes were in agreement with results of spectrophotometric values. Correlation value between each stress condition and phenotypic data showed that biotic stress condition showed high correlation with activity of CAT and APX whilst, abiotic stress condition revealed significant correlation with SOD activity.

한천을 분해하는 해양미생물을 한천을 유일한 탄소원으로 하는 인공 해수 한천 배지를 이용하여 제부도 개펄에서 분리하였다. SH-1으로 명명한 분리된 균주는 그람음성균이며 한 개의 극성 편모를 가지는 균이었다. 16S rRNA 유전자의 염기서열의 유사성 분석 결과 분리된 균주는 Neiella marina J221 [9]과 가장 높은 상동성을 보였다(96.5%). 분리 균주는 $28-37^{\circ}C$에서 생장하였지만 $42^{\circ}C$에서는 생장하지 못하였고 한천분해효소의 활성은 $37^{\circ}C$보다 $28^{\circ}C$에서 높은 활성을 보였다. 또한 SH-1균주는 1-5% NaCl (w/v)를 포함하는 배양액에서 생장이 가능했으며 3%의 농도에서 가장 좋은 생장을 보였고 한천을 분해하는 효소의 활성도 3% 염분농도의 배양액에서 가장 높았다. 48시간 배양한 세포배양액을 농축하여 조효소액을 준비하여 효소의 적정 pH와 적정 온도를 조사한 결과 pH 7.0에서와 $40^{\circ}C$에서 최적 효소 활성을 보였다. 조효소액을 사용하여 zymogram 분석을 실시한 결과 분자량 15, 35, 52 KD 크기의 3개 이상의 한천 분해효소를 생산하는 것으로 보인다. 박막크로마토그라피(TLC) 분석 결과 아가로스를 분해하여 네오올리고당을 생성하는 ${\beta}$-agarase 를 생산하는 것으로 추정된다.
