김치 공장에서 제조한 막김치를 원료로 하여 병용기에 200 g씩 충진하고, 진공 혹은 상압밀봉하여 5, 15, $25^{\circ}C$에 저장하면서 각각의 화학적 특징 변화와 미생물 변화를 관찰하였다. 김치의 적숙기는 $25^{\circ}C$에서 2일, $15^{\circ}C$에서 5일, $5^{\circ}C$에서 60일 이상이었다. 진공 처리한 경우 김치의 pH와 산도변화는 상압처리에 비하여 비교적 지연되었다. 진공밀봉 병조림 김치의 진공도는 $25^{\circ}C$ 및 $15^{\circ}C$ 발효에서는 1-2일 내에 상압으로 되었으나, $5^{\circ}C$ 발효의 경우 36일까지 380 mmHg 이상의 진공도를 유지할 수 있었다. 병조림 김치의 색깔은 $25^{\circ}C$, $15^{\circ}C$에서 밝기, 적색도, 황색도가 계속 상승하였으나, $5^{\circ}C$ 저장시 진공처리에 의해 색깔변화가 억제되는 효과가 있었다. 병조림 김치발효중 총균수는 $10^7{\sim}10^{10}/ml$정도이었으며 $5^{\circ}C$로 저장온도가 떨어질수록 총균수는 감소하였고, $5^{\circ}C$ 발효에서도 진공처리구의 총균수는 상압보다 낮았다. 병조림 김치에서 동정된 젖산균은 Lactobacillus brevis, L. plantarum, L. acidophilus, Aerococcus viridans, Streptococcus faecium subsp. casseliflavus이었고, 김치발효에 주로 관여하는 균은 L. brevis와 L. plantarum이었다. 이들 김치발효에 주로 관여하는 균은 $25^{\circ}C$와 $15^{\circ}C$보다 $5^{\circ}C$에서 균수가 낮아졌고, 진공처리에 의해 더욱 낮아졌다.

The ability of ten probiotic bacteria to bind a common food carcinogen aflatoxin $G_1$,$G_2$ and $B_2$ was assessed. The strains were incubated in vitro with aflatoxins and the toxin residues in the supernatant were measured using high performance liquid chromatography. The aflatoxin $G_1$ binding capacity of the strains was found to strain dependent, most efficient binding of AF$G_1$ was observed by L. acidophilus CU028 and L. brevis CU06 which bound approximately 50%. L. acidophilus CU028 was capable of bind approximately 67% of AF$G_2$, difference in their binding ability showed statistical significance (p>0.05). L. acidophilus CU028 and L. helveticus CU 631 were the best binders and the strains were observed to possess variable AF$B_2$-binding ability in the range was from 38.0% to 55.9%. Lactobacillus acidophilus CU028 was the best common binders of the three types of food carcinogen aflatoxins. The application of binding phenomenon in the removal of mycotoxins from contaminated feeds is urgently needed to improve the safety of feeds.

As the growth factor of lactic acid bacteria, LD (trehalose) was isolated from Lentinus edode5 by using silica gel column chromatography. LD induced the growth of Bifidobacteria breve and Lactobacillus brevis, which were isolated from human feces. LD selectively induced the growth of lactic acid bacteria among total microflora. When total intestinal microflora were cultured in the medium containing LD, it stimulated the growth of lactic acid bacteria and inhibited harmful enzymes, ${\beta}$-glucosidase, ${\beta}$-glucuronidase, and tryptophanase, of intestinal bacteria. LM, which was a monosaccharide from L. edooles, induced the growth of lactic acid bacteria but it seems to be invaluable in vivo. LH isolated from L. edodes by Sephadex G-100 column chromatography was not effective for the growth of lactic acid bacteria.

A homologous gene to alanine racemase was cloned from a hyperthermophilic bacterium, Aquifex pyrophilus. The cloned gene encodes a protein of 341 amino acids, which has a significant homology to alanine racemase of Bacillus stearothermophilus, Lactobacillus brevis, and E. coli. When the gene was expressed in Escherichia coli, it produced a 40 kDa protein. The purified protein contains one mole pyridoxal 5-phosphate per one mole of protein, which is essential for catalytic activity of alanine racemase. The purified protein catalyzed racemization of L-alanine to D-alanine, or vice versa, indicating that the cloned gene encoded alanine racemase. It also showed significant racemization activity against L-serine and ${\alpha}-aminobutylic$ acid. The A. pyrophilus alanine racemase showed strong thermostability, and it maintained catalytic activity in the presence of organic solvents.

We investigated the effects of orally administered probiotic bacteria (Lactobacillus species) as allergic immune modulators in ovalbumin (OVA)-sensitized mice. BALB/c mice were intraperitoneally injected with OVA twice at a 2-week interval for allergy sensitization. The mice were then orally administered Lactobacillus casei YIT9029 (L1), L. casei HY7201 (L2), L. brevis HY7401 (L3), or L. plantarum HY20301 (L4) every 2 days for 3 weeks. Total IgE levels significantly decreased in sera of L3-administered mice but increased in the other groups. OVA-specific IgE levels decreased slightly in sera of mice administered L1, L3, and L4 but increased significantly in L2-administered mice. In passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA) using sera from administered mice, only the L3-administered group showed reaction inhibition. High expression of TLR-2 with interferon (IFN)-${\gamma}$ stimulation on peripheral blood mononuclear cells occurred in L3- or L4-administered mice. Th1 cytokines, including IFN-${\gamma}$ and interleukin (IL)-12, increased in splenocytes of L3-administered mice; however, IL-4 decreased in L1- and L4-administered groups; IL-5 decreased in all experimental groups. IL-6 decreased in the L3-administered group; and IL-10 decreased in L1-, L2-, and L3-administered groups. L3 induced antiallergic effects by increasing Th1 cytokines, decreasing Th2 cytokines, and inhibiting the PCA reaction, whereas L2 administration increased allergic effects.

The aim of this study was to develop species-specific primer sets for kimchi Lactobacillus. Known gene sequences of Lactobacillus 16S rRNA were collected from the NCBI Gene bank, and 69 primer sets were designed using the homologous gene sequence. Six species of kimchi Lactobacilli were used as reference strains: Lactobacillus brevis KCTC3102, Lactobacillus farciminis KCTC3681, Lactobacillus fermentum KCTC3112, Lactobacillus hilgardii KCTC3500, Lactobacillus plantarum KCTC3099, and Lactobacillus sanfranciscensis KCTC3205. PCR amplification and gel electrophoresis were performed to identify the accuracy and specificity of the developed primer set. The results show that the primer set of 5'-aagcctgcgaaggcaag-3' & 5'-aggccaccggctttg-3', 5'-acatactatgcaaatctaagagattagacg-3' & 5'-actgagaatggctttaagagattagcttac-3' resulted in a specific PCR band on L. hilgardii, and primer set of 5'-ctaataccgcataacaactactttcacat-3' & 5'-aacttaataaaccgcctacattctctttac-3' on L. farciminis. The results indicate that the developed primer sets can provide a useful tool for the identification and differentiation of L. hilgardii and L. farciminis from other Lactobacillus species of kimchi.

Three media, i. e., MOD-SD, M98-5 and M98-5 supplemented with chicken fecal extract were tested as isolation media for anaerobic bacteria present in the duodenum, jeju-ileum and cecum of chicken. The results showed that the mean colony counts of medium M98-5 were similar with those of MOD-SD medium in all intestinal samples at the incubation periods of 2, 6 and 10 days. Supplementation with chicken fecal extract of M98-5 medium significantly increased (p < 0.05) the colony counts of bacteria from the duodenum, jeju-ileum and cecum. The colony counts at 6-day incubation were similar with those at 10-day incubation, but were much higher than the counts at 2-day incubation. The major types of bacteria found in the duodenum and jeju-ileum of chicken were tentatively identified as Lactobacillus, Streptococcus and E. coli. In the cecum, ten tentatively identified groups of bacteria, namely, Streptococcus, Staphylococcus, Lactobacillus, E. coli, anaerobic coccus, Eubacterium, Propionibacterium, Clostridium, Fusobacterium and Bacteroides were isolated. Anaerobes were found to comprise nearly the entire microbial population of the cecum. Predominating in all sections of the intestine were homofermentative lactobacilli. The main Lactotacillus species in chicken intestine were L. acidophilus, L. fermentum and L. brevis.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of fermentation on biological activity of Chelidonium majus var asiaticum and to screen effective starter culture strains. Antibacterial activity against to Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria monocytogenes and Salmonella gallinarum and antioxidant activity as free radical scavenging activity by using DPPH were tested. Total six starter culture strains, two of Lactobacillus brevis, one of Lactobacillus plantarum and three of Saccharomyces cerevisiae were used. Plant extract was prepared after fermentation by using ethanol. All strains showed normal growth in viable cell counts of fermented cultures and L. plantarum showed the highest cell growth significantly (p<0.05). In antibacterial activities of extracts, the activity was found only in the extract from the fermentation using L. plantarum. In antioxidant activity, the highest activity was shown in the fermentation using L. plantarum significantly (P<0.05). Newly produced spots in two of three elution systems on TLC-DPPH test were detected in the fermentation using L. plantarum.
