Lactobacillus casei KC-324 was tested for its ability to inhibit aflatoxin production and mycelial growth of Aspergillus flavus ATCC 15517 in liquid culture. flatoxin $B_{1}$ biosynthesis and mycelial growth were inhibited in both simultaneous culture and individual antagonism assays, suggesting that the inhibitory activity was due to extracellular metabolites. produced in cell-free supernatant fluids of the cultured broth of L. casei KC-324. In cell-free supernatant fluids of all media tested, deMan, Rogosa and Sharpe broth, potato dextrose broth, and Czapek-Dox broth+1% yeast extract showed higher antiaflatoxigenic activity. In these case, fungal growths, however, was not affected as measured by mycelial dry weight. The antiaflatoxigenic metabolites from L. casei KC-324 were produced over wide range of temperatures between $25^{\circ}C$ and $37^{\circ}C$. However, these metabolites were not thermostable since the inhibitory activity of the supernatant was inactivated within 30 minutes at $100^{\circ}C$ and $121^{\circ}C$. The inhibitory activity was not influenced by changing pH of supernatant between 4 and 10. However, the antiaflatoxigenic activity was slightly reduced at pH 10.

The antimicrobial effects of a commercially available, buffered sodium citrate (BSC) were evaluated for the reduction of total aerobic bacteria count, Salmonella Typhimurium, Escherichia coli O157:H7, Listeria monocytogenes and Staphylococcus aureus in a liquid medium and ground beef. BSC at 0, 1, 2 and 4.8% (wt/vol) or 0, 3, and 4.8% (wt/wt) was mixed into inoculated brain heart infusion (BHI) broth and ground beef (80% lean), respectively. BSC at concentrations of 1 and 2% did not inhibit growth of the pathogens tested in BHI broth. E. coli O157:H7 in BHI broth with 4.8% BSC was significantly reduced (p<0.05) by 3～4 log CFU/mL compared with the control for up to 4 days. At 4.8%, BSC treatment of ground beef most significantly reduced (p<0.05) total aerobic count and E. coli O157:H7 by 2.1 and 2.0 log CFU/g, respectively. This study indicates that the legally allowable level of 1.3% (wt/wt) BSC is not effective for reducing the pathogens tested in ground beef stored at $7^{\circ}C$.

Cylindvocarpon destmtalns isolate CY-92-01, pathogen of root-rot of Panax ginseng showed t the maximum mycelial growth on the Czapek solution agar among the thirteen kinds of media. Five isolates (Isolate CY-92-01, CY-92-03, CY-92-07, CY-94-01, CY-94-02) of C. destructan from various growth stages of p. ginseng recovered from several geographical sites also showed maximum growth in the Czapek-Dox broth compared with potato dextrose broth and V-8 juice broth. Rapid growth rate was maintained until 12 days after inoculation on the Czapek-Dox broth and mycelial weight was somewhat constant until 20 days. After 30 days of incubation, the mycelial weight began to decrease. The fungal growth occurred from 5$^{\circ}C$ to $25^{\circ}C$ and optimum temperature for growth was 2$0^{\circ}C$. Mycelial weight orderly decreased at 15, 25, 10, and 5$^{\circ}C$. Quantitative measurement was impossible at 5$^{\circ}C$. No fungal growth was occurred at the temperature higher than 3$0^{\circ}C$. Growth was observed at all tested pH ranges from 2.8 to 8.0. Optimum pH for growth was 4.0~5.0 followed by pH 3.3~3.5 and 5.4~6.0. The least growth occurred at pH 2.8.

Streptococcus mutans가 치태를 형성할 때, 유산구균 1370 (Streptococcus lactis 1370)이 생산하는 수용성 글루캔이 영향을 미친다. 본 연구에서는 여러 인자에 의한 수용성 글루캔 형성 정도를 유산구균 1370배양 상청액의 흡광도로 측정하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 5% 자당이 첨가된 M17 broth에서 유산구균 1370 배양 상청액의 흡광도는 높고 Streptococcus mutans 배양 상청액의 흡광도는 낮았으나, 통계학적인 유의성은 없었다. 2. M17 broth에 10% 자당을 첨가하여 유산구균 1370을 배양할시 배양 상청액의 흡광도는 첨가하지 않을 때보다 높았다. (p<0.05), 배지 pH가 5에서보다 7에서 배양 상청액의 흡광도가 더 높았다(p<0.05). 3. $32^{\circ}C,\;37^{\circ}C,\;42^{\circ}C$중 $37^{\circ}C$에서 배양시 배양 상청액의 흡광도가 가장 높았으나 통계학적인 유의성이 없었고, 호기성 배양시보다 혐기성 배양시 배양 상청액의 흡광도가 더 높았다(p<0.05). 4. 배지의 $CaCl_2$ 농도가 1.0mM에서 (p<0.05), KCl 농도가 2.5mM에서 (p<0.05) 배양 상청 액의 흡광도가 높았다. 5. M17 broth에 5% 자당을 첨가한 배지에 유산구균 1370을 접종하여 배양한 배양 상청액과 배지를 1:3으로 가한 비커와이어 검사에서 Streptococcus mutans에 의하여 형성된 인공치태 무게는 5.6mg으로 5% 자당을 첨가하지 않을 때의 103.0mg에 비교하여 현저히 감소하였다 (p<0.05). 이상의 결과를 요약하면 유산구균 1370에 의한 수용성 글루캔의 형성은 자당이 함유된 배지나 세균 증식이 잘 되는 조건에서 증가하였으며, 수용성 글루캔이 Streptococcus mutans에 의한 인공치태 형성을 억제하였다.

Eleven strains had been previously isolated from kimchi and identified in our laboratory. The ability of each strain in aroma production was investigated by sensory evaluation. Among them Saccharomyc s sp. YK-17, Saccharomyces sp. YK-18, Saccharomyces sp. YH-3 and Saccharomyces fermentati YK-19 produced fruity flavour. Especially, Saccharomyces fermentati YK-19 produced apple and pineapple-like flavours. Pichia media YK-11, Saccharomyces sp. YK-20 and Pichia chambardii YH-4 produced wine-like flavour. Debaryomyces sp. YK-6, Debarymyces coudertii YK-10, Saccharomyces sp. YK-12 and Pichia haplophilia YH-5 produced alcoholic flavours. Using the good flavour producing strains as starters, various groups of kimchi were fermented, and the sensory characteristics of each group such as odor, taste and total acceptability were evaluated. The acidic odor, moldy odor and taste were reduced by adding starter, while the fresh sourness odor and taste similar to fruity fiavour were increased by starter. Comparing with the control group, these odor, taste and total acceptability were increased in the starter-added groups, such as Pichia edia YK-11, Saccharomyces sp. YK-17, and Saccharomyces,fermentati YK- 19. Saccharomyces fermentati YK-19 added kimchi group was higher siginificantly (P<0.05) than the others at the total acceptability. Volatile compounds of the culture broth of Saccharomyces fermentati YK-19 were analysed by gas chromatography, and 6 species of esters and 4 species of alcohols were identified. Among them, the ester substances which broth largely responsible for the apple-like flavour in the sensory evaluation, were found to be ethyl 2-methyl butvrate, ethyl pentanoate and ethyl acetate.

To investigate oleic acid biodegradation, 47 fungal strains were tested with modified Czapek Dox broth media containing oleic acid, and their biodegradative activities were assayed by measuring the release of $[^14C]CO_2$ from the $^14C-$labeled oleic acid. After 72 h of cultivation, Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus ochraceus, and Alternaria species metabolized approximately $25\%\;to\;35\%$ of the supplied oleic acid. The relationship between the fungal degradation of oleic acid and the fungal growth was also examined using 7 strains of Aspergillus niger. A. niger. YMC 0100 and YMC 0322 degraded about $26\%$ of the oleic acid after 72 h, while their germination ratios were more than $30\%$.

Gamma-amino butyric acid (GABA) is a kind of pharmacological and biological component and its application is wide and useful in Korea specially, becoming aging society in the near feature. GABA is request special dose for the purposed biological effect but the production of concentrated GABA is very difficult due to low concentration of glutamic acid existed in the fermentation broth. To increase GABA concentrate using fermentation technology, high content of glutamic acid is required. For this reason, various strains which have the glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) and can convert glutamic acid to GABA, were isolated from various fermented foods. Most of GABA producing strains are lactic acid bacteria isolated from kimchi, especially added monosodium glutamate (MSG) as a taste enhancer. Optimizing the formulation of culture media and the culture condition, GABA conversion yield and amounts were increased. Finally GABA concentration of fermentation broth in batch or fed batch fermentation reached 660 mM or 1000 mM, respectively. Furthermore formulation of culture media for GABA production developed commercially. Many studies about GABA-rich product have been continued, so GABA-rich kimchi, cheese, yogurt, black raspberry juice and tomato juices has been also developed. In Korea many biological effects of GABA are evaluated recently and GABA will be expected to be used in multipurpose.
