Piperacillin phthalidyl ester was synthesized by reacting piperacillin with triethylamine and bromophthalide in acetone and its chemical structure was determined by UV, IR, and PMR. The partition coefficient of the ester was increased and the ester was more lipophilic and less water soluble than piperacillin. The ester did not show the antimicrobial activity against Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6633 in vitro, but when hydrolyzed, the parent drug of ester, piperacillin, revealed antimicrobial activity in vivo. After a single oral dose of both piperacillin and the ester to rabbits, the serum piperacillin concentration was measured by bioassay. The ester exhibited improved pharmatokinetic characteristics: $T_{max}\;of\;2hr,\;C_{max}\;of\;4.26{\mu}g{\cdot}ml^{-1},K_{el}\;of\;0.057hr^{-1},\;and\;total\;AUC\;of\;85.42{\mu}g{\cdot}hr{\cdot}ml^{-1}$. Piperacillin on the other hand, did not exhibit any gastro-intestinal absorption.

The research was conducted(1) to confirm the agent(s) responsible for the antimicrobial activity contained in the fermented tomato juice with L. acidophilus(2) to extract and purify the antimicrobial agent(s)(3) to find the biological, physical and chemical properties of the agent(s). The following results were obtained and summarized as followings; 1. The agent responsible for the inhibitory activity was confirmed by both well assay method using fermented tomato juice with L. acidophilus and turbidimetric technique using the cell-free filtrate or neutralized filtrate of tomato acidohilus culture and found exerted antimicrobial agent other than lactic acid. 2. The procedures of purification : The isolation and purification of antimicrobial agent from the lyophilized acidophilus tomato culture were carried out by (1) methanol extraction (2) acetone extraction, (3) Sephadex G-50 gel filtration (4) paper chromatography and (5) thin layer chromatography. 3. The biological, physical and chemical properties of antimicrobial agent: The biological, physical, chemical properties of the purified antimicrobial agent were: (1) The antimicrobial activity was strong against test organisms; Bacillus subtilis(ATCC 6633), Escheichia coli(ATCC 25922), Staphylococcus aureus(ATCC 167), Pseudomonas fluorescens(KFCC 32394), Proteus vulgaris and Shigella dysenteriae. (2) The pH value of the agent was 2.0 and the inhibitory activity was lost when it was neutralized at 7.0 of pH and the agent was heat stable at $121^{\circ}C$ for 60 minutes. (3) The ultraviolet light absorption spectra of methanol-acetone extract and TLC fraction exhibited a maximum absorption at 260nm and 224nm respectively. (4) The most purified agent from TLC plate increased about 130-fold in activity. (5) The agent isolated from TLC plate was free from $H_2O_2$ or lactic acid. 4.

In this study, 69 lactobacilli isolated from Tibetan Qula, a raw yak milk cheese, were screened for their potential use as probiotics. The isolates were tested in terms of: Their ability to survive at pH 2.0, pH 3.0, and in the presence of 0.3% bile salts; tolerance of simulated gastric and intestinal juices; antimicrobial activity; sensitivity against 11 specific antibiotics; and their cell surface hydrophobicity. The results show that out of the 69 strains, 29 strains (42%) had survival rates above 90% after 2 h of incubation at pH values of 2.0 or 3.0. Of these 29 strains, 21 strains showed a tolerance for 0.3% bile salt. Incubation of these 21 isolates in simulated gastrointestinal fluid for 3 h revealed survival rates above 90%; the survival rate for 20 of these isolates remained above 90% after 4 h of incubation in simulated intestinal fluid. The viable counts of bacteria after incubation in simulated gastric fluid for 3 h and simulated intestinal fluid for 4 h were both significantly different compared with the counts at 0 h (p<0.001). Further screening performed on the above 20 isolates indicated that all 20 lactobacilli strains exhibited inhibitory activity against Micrococcus luteus ATCC 4698, Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6633, Listeria monocytogenes ATCC 19115, and Salmonella enterica ATCC 43971. Moreover, all of the strains were resistant to vancomycin and streptomycin. Of the 20 strains, three were resistant to all 11 elected antibiotics (ciprofloxacin, erythromycin, tetracycline, penicillin G, ampicillin, streptomycin, polymyxin B, vancomycin, chloramphenicol, rifampicin, and gentamicin) in this study, and five were sensitive to more than half of the antibiotics. Additionally, the cell surface hydrophobicity of seven of the 20 lactobacilli strains was above 70%, including strains Lactobacillus casei 1,133 (92%), Lactobacillus plantarum 1086-1 (82%), Lactobacillus casei 1089 (81%), Lactobacillus casei 1138 (79%), Lactobacillus buchneri 1059 (78%), Lactobacillus plantarum 1141 (75%), and Lactobacillus plantarum 1197 (71%). Together, these results suggest that these seven strains are good probiotic candidates, and that tolerance against bile acid, simulated gastric and intestinal juices, antimicrobial activity, antibiotic resistance, and cell surface hydrophobicity could be adopted for preliminary screening of potentially probiotic lactobacilli.

담자균류의 하나인 잔나비걸상 자실체로부터 얻은 수성엑스의 항세균 시험과 항진균 시험을 액체배지 희석법으로 실시하고 naringenin과의 병용시험을 checkerboard assay 법으로 평가하였다. 항세균 시험결과 전반적으로 그람음성균보다 그람양성균에 대해 비교적 양호한 항균력을 나타내었으나 사용된 균주중 그람음성균인 Proteus vulgaris 78615는 MIC가 1.125 mg/ml로 가장 양호한 항균효과를 나타내었다. 11종의 균주에 대해 실시된 항진균 시험결과 Candida albicans, Fusarium spp. 그리고 Trichophyton mentagraphytes의 MIC가 7.5 mg/ml로 다른 균주에 대한 항진균 효과보다 두배 더 강한 효과를 나타내었다. naringenin과의 병용시험에서 Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923에 대하여 부분적 상승효과를 나타내었고, Klebsiella pneumoniae ATCC 10031과 Salmonella typhi ATCC 6229 두 균주에서 상가효과가 관찰되었다. 그리고 Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6633을 비롯한 7종의 균주에서 무관효과를 나타내었으며 길항효과는 관찰되지 않았다.

김치에서 분리한 유산균 중에서 Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli(ATCC33694) 그리고 Bacillus substilis(ATCC 6633) 등 5종의 미생물에 대한 항균성이 우수한 3주(No. 49, No. 61, No. 75)를 최종 선발하여 동정한 결과 Lactobacillus plantarum으로 동정 되었다. 이들 3 균주를 starter로 사용하여 요구르트 등 여러 발효식품에 응용할 수 있는지 검토하기 위하여, 이들 균주로 요구르트를 제조한 후 요구르트의 ${\beta}-galactosidase$ 활성도를 균주 첨가 후 24시간 부터 72시간 동안 경시적으로 조사하였다. 그 결과 48시간 후에 효소활성은 최고에 도달하였으며 그 후 시간이 경과함에 따라 감소하였다. 또한 2시간 동안 경시적으로 요구르트 고유의 pH값보다 낮은 산성조건에서 ${\beta}-galactosidase$ 활성도와 생존율을 측정한 결과 pH 3.5에서 2시간 후에는 3균주 모두 50% 정도 활성이 감소하였으나 pH 2.5와 pH 1.5에서 ${\beta}-galactosidase$ 활성은 거의 없었다. 유산균의 생존율은 pH 3.5에서 2시간 후 거의 변화가 없었고, pH 2.5에서는 각각 $0.12%{\sim}0.75%$ 그리고 pH 1.5에서는 생존율이 거의 없었다. 한편, 제조 요구르트의 이화학적 성질을 조사한 결과 요구르트 고유의 pH 값은 4.08 부터 4.30사이이었으며, 적정산도는 $1.05{\sim}l.25%$ 점도는 $1,818{\sim}2,124\;cps$, 생균수는 $7.3{\times}10^8{\sim}3.0{\times}10^9\;cfu/m{\ell}$였다. 유산균이 살아있는 상태로 장내에 도달할 수 있는지의 여부를 간접적으로 나타내는 완충능을 측정하기 위하여 1.0N HCl로 요구르트 $100\;m{\ell}$를 고유의 pH값에서 2단위 낮은 pH값까지 적정한 결과 소모된 HCl량은 $11.98{\sim}13.02\;m{\ell}$이었고 1.0 N NaOH로 4단위 높은 pH값까지 적정하는데 소모된 NaOH량은 $10.82{\sim}12.86\;m{\ell}$로 시판 요구르트 보다 높은 완충능을 보여 주었다.

산분해 대두 단백질로 부터 식품 보존료인 p-hydroxybenzoic acid butyl ester를 분해하고, esterase 활성을 갖는 균주들을 분리, 동정하여 그들의 생육 및 효소 생성 특징을 조사하였다. 분리된 균주들은 전부 Baillus sp. 로 동정되었으며, specific growth rate는 균주에 따라 $0.844{\sim}1.213\;h^{-1}$였으며, esterase activity 는 Baillus sp. KB8 균주가 222 mU/ml로 대비균주인 B. subtilis ATCC6633의 21 mU/ml보다 10배 높은 활성을 보였으나 p-hydroxybenzoic acid butyl ester 분해 활성도는 $5.4{\sim}8.1\;mU/ml$로 균주에 따른 큰 차이는 볼 수 없었다. Baillus sp. KB8 균주의 배양시 NaCl 첨가는 생육을 저해시키며, esterase의 세포외 축적과 세포내 합성을 억제시키는 것으로 나타났으며, 특히 NaCl 첨가 농도의 증가는 세포외 축적을 더 억제시키는 것으로 나타났다. 플라스크 배양실험 결과 Baillus sp. KB8 균주의 효소 생성은 생육이 stationary phase 이후 점차 증가하여 배양 64시간에 420 mU/ml를 생성하였다. 온도에 대한 esterase의 활성은 $50^{\circ}C$에서 30분간 실활없이 유지되었으나 $70^{\circ}C$에서는 전부 실활되었다. $60^{\circ}C$와 $65^{\circ}C$ 에서의 효소 활성은 노출 시간에 따라 지수적인 실활 경향을 보여 3시간 후 $60^{\circ}C$에서 76%, $65^{\circ}C$에서는 3%의 잔존 효소활성을 보였다.
