Bacillus cereus can cause blood infections (i.e., sepsis). Its early detection is very important for treating patients. However, an antibody with high binding affinity to B. cereus is not currently available. Bacteriophage cell wall-binding domain (CBD) has strong and specific binding affinity to B. cereus. Here, we report the improvement in the sensitivity of an ATP bioluminescence assay for B. cereus detection using CBD-conjugated magnetic nanoparticles (CBD-MNPs). The assay was able to detect as few as 10 colony forming units (CFU) per mL and $10^3CFU\;per\;mL$ in buffer and blood. CBD-MNPs did not show any cross-reactivity with other microorganisms. These results demonstrate the feasibility of the ATP assay for the detection of B. cereus.

Nonylphenol (NP), which is well known as an endocrine disrupter, has been detected widely in untreated sewage or waste water streams. Given the necessity of discovering an eco-friendly method of degrading this toxic organic compound, this study was conducted to isolate NP-degrading microorganisms from the aqueous environment. NP-degrading microbes were isolated through NP-containing enrichment culture. Finally, a microbial consortium, SW-3, capable of degrading NP with high efficiency, was selected from the mixture sample. The microbial consortium SW-3 was able to degrade over 99% of 100 ppm NP in the culture medium for 40 days at $25^{\circ}C$. The microbial consortium SW-3 seemed to utilize NP as a carbon source, since NP was the sole carbon source in the culture medium. In order to isolate the NP-degrading bacterium, we further conducted single colony isolation using the microbial consortium SW-3. Four strains isolated from SW-3 exhibited lower NP-degradation efficiency than that of SW-3, suggesting that NP was degraded by the co-metabolism of the microbial consortium. We suggest that the microbial consortium obtained in this study would be useful in developing an eco-friendly bioremediation technology for NP degradation.

Fermentation plays a vital role in the nutritional enrichment of food. Korea has a long tradition of adding fermented food to the daily diet and jeotgal is one of the common fermented and salted foods in Korean cuisine. In our study, we added soymilk as an additive to squid jeotgal to improve its functionality. We mixed different concentrations of soymilk (2, 5, and 10 mg/g) with squid jeotgal samples, fermented them for one week, and then tested their antioxidant and anticancer activities to compare with those of squid jeotgal samples without soymilk additive. To investigate the anticancer characteristics, glutathione-S-transferase (GST)-pi enzyme assay was used. To test the antioxidant activities, various assays were performed, including 2,2-diphenyl-1-picryl hydrazyl free radical scavenging activity, 2,2-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) diammonium saltradical cation scavenging assay, and reducing power assay. Samples fermented with a small amount of soymilk showed excellent anticancer activity. The addition of only 2 mg/g of soymilk to squid jeotgal inhibited the activity of GST-pi by almost 50% when compared with the sample with no addition. Moreover, no undesirable bitterness or astringency was noticed. Our results could help to improve the current food status of squid jeotgal and it could be used to reduce the risk of chronic disease along with its basic nutritional function.

본 연구에서는 다양한 식품으로부터 식중독 세균의 DNA를 추출하는 효율을 비교 하였다. 사용된 DNA 추출 방법은 TaKaRa Kit를 이용하는 방법, PrepMan reagent를 이용하는 방법, boiling method, PEG를 이용한 alkaline method가 사용되었다. 비용절감이나 시간절약 면에서 boiling method나 PrepMan method도 고려할 수 있지만, column kit를 이용하는 TaKaRa kit가 효율적이라고 판단되었다. 또한 정성 시험법에서 적은 양의 균을 검출하기 위해 증균배양을 거치게 되는데 이때 사용되는 증균배지의 성분이 DNA 추출 후에도 잔류하여 saline과 비교하였을 때 DNA 추출효율이 낮은 결과를 나타내었다. 따라서 증균배지의 성분을 제거한 뒤 DNA를 추출하는 것이 PCR의 효율을 높일 수 있을 것으로 예상된다. 정량 시험법에서는 증균과정을 거치지 않아 균을 검출할 때 DNA의 추출 효율이 중요하기 때문에 DNA 추출 효율을 높이기 위한 가장 좋은 버퍼를 선정하고자 하였다. 그 결과 E. coli O157:H7에서는 saline이, S. aureus에서는 증류수를 버퍼로 사용했을 때 DNA 추출 효율이 가장 높은 것으로 나타났다.

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of adding unrefined oil on the antioxidant activity of a tuna oil-enriched emulsion by determining DPPH radical scavenging activity, reducing power, and inhibition of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) oxidation in vitro. The emulsion consisted of tocopherol-stripped canola (18.3 g) and tuna (9.1 g) oil, one of the unrefined oils (4.6 g), such as extra virgin olive, mustard, perilla, or sesame oil, 0.5% acetic acid (64 g), and egg yolk powder (4 g). The control emulsion contained only canola (21.4 g) and tuna oil (10.6 g), as oil sources,with the same composition of the remaining ingredients. The emulsion with added unrefined oil, particularly mustard oil, showed higher radical scavenging activity and reducing power than those of the control emulsion. The radical scavenging activity and reducing power of the emulsion with added unrefined oil were higher at 1,000 ppm than at 500 ppm thus, the effect was concentration-dependent. Adding sesame or perilla oil to the tuna oil-enriched emulsion resulted in higher inhibition of LDL oxidationwhereas adding olive oil increased LDL oxidation. The results clearly showed that adding roasted mustard, sesame, or perilla oil improved the antioxidant activity of a tuna oil-enriched emulsion by increasing free radical scavenging activity, reducing power, and inhibiting LDL oxidation. The results also suggest that adding unrefined oils produces a healthier fish oil-enriched salad dressing recipe.

Yeasts that are present in marine environments have evolved to survive hostile environments that are characterized by high exogenous salt content, high concentrations of inhibitory compounds, and low soluble carbon and nitrogen levels. Therefore, yeasts isolated from marine environments could have interesting characteristics for industrial applications. However, the application of marine yeast in research or industry is currently very limited owing to the lack of a suitable isolation method. Current methods for isolation suffer from fungal interference and/or low number of yeast isolates. In this paper, an efficient and non-laborious isolation method has been developed and successfully isolated large numbers of yeasts without bacterial or fungal growth. The new method includes a three-cycle enrichment step followed by an isolation step and a confirmation step. Using this method, 116 marine yeast strains were isolated from 14 marine samples collected in the UK, Egypt, and the USA. These strains were further evaluated for the utilization of fermentable sugars (glucose, xylose, mannitol, and galactose) using a phenotypic microarray assay. Seventeen strains with higher sugar utilization capacity than the reference terrestrial yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae NCYC 2592 were selected for identification by sequencing of the ITS and D1/D2 domains. These strains belonged to six species: S. cerevisiae, Candida tropicalis, Candida viswanathii, Wickerhamomyces anomalus, Candida glabrata, and Pichia kudriavzevii. The ability of these strains for improved sugar utilization using seawater-based media was confirmed and, therefore, they could potentially be utilized in fermentations using marine biomass in seawater media, particularly for the production of bioethanol and other biochemical products.
