As probiotics play an important role in maintaining a healthy gut flora environment through antitoxin activity and inhibition of pathogen colonization, they have been of interest to the medical research community for quite some time now. Probiotic bacteria such as Lactobacillus plantarum, which can be found in fermented food, are of particular interest given their easy accessibility. We performed whole-genome sequencing and genomic analysis on a GB-LP1 strain of L. plantarum isolated from Korean traditional fermented food; this strain is well known for its functions in immune response, suppression of pathogen growth, and antitoxin effects. The complete genome sequence of GB-LP1 is a single chromosome of 3,040,388 bp with 2,899 predicted open reading frames. Genomic analysis of GB-LP1 revealed two CRISPR regions and genes showing accelerated evolution, which may have antibiotic and antitoxin functions. The aim of the present study was to predict strain specific-genomic characteristics and assess the potential of this new strain as lactic acid bacteria at the genomic level using in silico analysis. These results provide insight into the L. plantarum species as well as confirm the possibility of its utility as a candidate probiotic.

Objective: This study was conducted to investigate the effects of molasses and Lactobacillus plantarum on the ensiling quality and in vitro rumen fermentation of sudangrass silage prepared with or without wilting. Methods: The ensiling experiment, measured with 3 replicates, was carried out according to a 2×4 (wilted stages×additives) factorial treatment structure. Dry matter of the fresh (210 g/kg fresh matter) or wilted (305 g/kg fresh matter) sudangrass were ensiled (packed into 5.0-L plastic jars) without additive (control) or with molasses (M), Lactobacillus plantarum (LP), or molasses + Lactobacillus plantarum (M+LP). After 60 days of ensiling, the silages were analyzed for the chemical, fermentation, and in vitro characteristics. Results: After 60 days of ensiling, the fermentation parameters were affected by wilted, the additives and the interactions of wilted with the additives (p<0.05). The M+LP treatment at wilted had higher lactic acid levels and V-score (p<0.05) but lower pH values and butyric acid concentrations than the other treatments. In comparison with sudangrass before ensiling, after ensiling had lower dry matter and higher non-fibrous carbohydrate. The in vitro gas production, in vitro dry matter digestibility, in vitro crude protein digestibility, and in vitro acid fiber detergent digestibility changed under the effects of the additives. Significant interactions were observed between wilted and the additives in terms of in vitro gas production at 48 h, asymptotic gas production, gas production rate, half time, and the average gas production rate. The total volatile fatty acid levels in the additive treatments were higher than those in the control. Conclusion: Wilting and supplementation with molasses and Lactobacillus plantarum had the ability to improve the ensiling quality and in vitro nutrient digestibility of sudangrass silage. The M+LP treatment at wilted exhibited the strongest positive effects on silage quality and in vitro ruminal fermentation characteristics.

Ultrasonication was employed to prepare solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN) for smart probiotic nanoparticles as a nanofood. The model probiotic material, lactocin from Lactobacillus plantarum (CBT-LP2), was incorporated into SLN. The CBT-LP2 loaded SLN (CBT-LP2-SLN) were spherical in the photograph of scanning electron microscope (SEM). The particle size measured by laser diffraction (LD) was found to be $97.3{\pm}8.2nm$. Zeta potential analyzer suggested the zeta potential of LP-SLN was $-29.36{\pm}3.68$ mV in distilled water. The entrapment efficiency (EE%) was determined with the sephadex gel chromatogram and high-performance liquid chromatogram (HPLC), and up to 90.59% of nanofood was incorporated. Stability evaluation showed relatively long-term stability with only slight particle growth (P>0.05) after storage at room temperature for 4 weeks. Therefore, ultrasonication is demonstrated to be a simple, available and effective method to prepare high quality SLN loaded probiotic material.

A polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was performed to rapidly identify Lactobacillus plantarum from type strains and kimchi samples. The PCR experiments were carried out using specific oligonucleotide primer sets based on the 16S rRNA gene sequences of L. plantarum. The expected DNA amplificate of 419 bp was obtained when either purified DNA or whole cells of L. plantarum strains reacted with LP primers, yet not with any of the other strains. The PCR product was confirmed by DNA sequencing. Accordingly, since the PCR method used is simple, specific, and rapid, it will be useful for monitoring and evaluation L. plantarum in the mixed microbial population found in kimchi.

This study examined the effects of Lactobacillus plantarum(LP) cultured in Platycodi Radix decoction(LPPR) on the expressions of NO and TNF-${\alpha}$ in mouse macrophage RAW264.7 cell line. Cells were stimulated with LP or LPPR (0.1, 1, and 10 bacteria/cell) in all assays. More NO was induced in LPPR than LPM at 0.1 and 1 of a LP: cell ratio. The iNOS mRNA expression was also enhanced in LPPR stimulated cells. TNF-${\alpha}$ was increased in LPPR stimulated cells at the protein and mRNA level compared with LPM. In conclusion, LP fermented in Platycodi Radix decoction induced stronger activity in NO and TNF in mouse macrophages than LPM. These results suggest that fermentation by Platycodi Radix can be useful in enhancing the immunostimulatory activity of LP.

The safety of the probiotic strain Q180, which exerts postprandial lipid-lowering effects, was bioinformatically and phenotypically evaluated. The genome of strain Q180 was completely sequenced, and single circular chromosome of 3,197,263 bp without any plasmid was generated. Phylogenetic and related analyses using16S rRNA gene and whole-genome sequences revealed that strain Q180 is a member of Lactiplantibacillus (Lp., formerly Lactobacillus) plantarum. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes were bioinformatically analyzed using all Lp. plantarum genomes available in GenBank, which showed that AMR genes are present differently depending on Lp. plantarum strains. Bioinformatic analysis demonstrated that some mobile genetic elements such as prophages and insertion sequences were identified in the genome of strain Q180, but because they did not contain harmful genes such as AMR genes and virulence factor (VF)- and toxin-related genes, it was suggested that there is no transferability of harmful genes. The minimum inhibition concentrations of seven tested antibiotics suggested by the European Food Safety Authority guidelines were slightly lower than or equal to the microbiological cut-off values for Lp. plantarum. Strain Q180 did not show hemolytic and gelatinase activities and biogenic amine-producing ability. Taken together, this study demonstrated the safety of strain Q180 in terms of absence of AMR genes and VF- and toxin-related genes as a probiotic strain.

This study aimed to develop a bile-responsive expression system for lactobacilli. The promoters of four genes, encoding phosphoenolpyruvate-dependent sugar phosphotransferase (mannose-specific), L-lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), HPr kinase, and D-alanine-D-alanine ligase, respectively, which were highly expressed by bile addition in Lactobacillus johnsonii PF01, were chosen. Each promoter was amplified by polymerase chain reaction and fused upstream of the ${\beta}$-glucuronidase gene as a reporter, respectively. Then, these constructs were cloned into E. coli-Lactobacillus shuttle vector pULP2, which was generated by the fusion of pUC19 with the L. plantarum plasmid pLP27. Finally, the constructed vectors were introduced into L. plantarum for a promoter activity assay. The LDH promoter showed the highest activity and its activity increased 1.8-fold by bile addition. The constructed vector maintained in L. plantarum until 80 generations without selection pressure. A bile-responsive expression vector, $pULP3-P_{LDH}$, for Lactobacillus spp. can be an effective tool for the bile-inducible expression of bioactive proteins in intestine after intake in the form of fermented dairy foods.

본 연구에서는 꽃송이버섯 건물과 powder를 각각 Yeast Extract broth와 MRS broth에서 Lactoballius 4종(L. plantarum, L. acidophilus, L. helveticus, and L. delbrueckii)과 함께 발효시켰다. 발효액의 final pH는 pH $3.9{\pm}0.02$로 유산균의 일반적인 final pH 값과 일치함을 통해 유산균의 발효를 확인하였고, 유산균에 의한 꽃송이버섯 발효의 효과를 ${\beta}$-glucan 함량을 통하여 확인하였다. Yeast Extract broth 발효액은 YSB-2LP 1.65 g/100 g으로 ${\beta}$-glucan을 거의 함유하고 있지 않았지만 MRS broth 발효액은 Yeast Extract broth 발효액의 10배에 달하는 MPB-1LP 10.84 g/100 g을 함유하고 있었다. MPB-1LP는 꽃송이버섯 powder와 L.actobacillus plantarum으로 발효한 발효액으로 pH stress로 인해 만들어진 L. plantarum의 ${\beta}$-D-glucosidase에 의해 분해된 고분자량의 수용성 ${\beta}$-glucan이라 사료된다. 꽃송이버섯을 powder 상태로 L. plantarum과 함께 발효시켰을 때 꽃송이버섯의 수용성 ${\beta}$-glucan 추출 효율을 높일 수 있으며, 본 연구의 결과는 꽃송이버섯 유산균 발효물의 면역촉진 작용 연구를 위한 기초연구자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.
