A Lactic acid bacterium for barley bread was isolated from barley powder and was identified as Enterococcus sp. It was used as a starter for barley bread and quality of bread was compared with the bread prepared by conventional starter 1. The pH of bread making process using Lactobacillus sanfrancisco starter was the lowest among tested starters. while the titratable acidity(TTA) of the strain was the highest, followed by Enterococcus sp.. 2. In valorimeter value(v/v), control was 70, but dough using all starter was 60. The peak time and stability of dough using Lactobacillus sanfrancisco were the highest among tested starters. 3. Extensibility of dough using Enterococcus sp. was the highest among tested starters, followed by Lactobacillus sanfrancisco. Proper extensibility and maximum resistance were observed in Lactobacillus sanfrancisco.

Bacteriocin-producing microorganism was isolated from Kimchi. The microorganism was identified as a Lactobacillus sp. and named Lactobacillus sp. JB-42. The optimum conditions for the bacteriocin production from the isolated microorganism were evaluated. For the maximum yield of bacteriocin from Lactobacillus sp. JB-42, the cell should be harvested at the early stationary phase and the temperature, pH and NaCl concentration should be $30^{\circ}C$, pH 7 and without the addition of NaCl, respectively. Sucrose, glucose or fructose should be used as a carbon source and organic nitrogen such as tryptone should be used as a nitrogen source for the best yield. The production of bacteriocin was related to the cell growth of Lactobacillus sp. JB-42 indicating the role of Lactobacillus in the Kimchi fermentation process.

Interspecific fusants were made from the cells of two strains of Lactobacillus genus, a streptomycin resistant Lactobacillus sp. JC-7 and a kanamycin resistant L. acidophilus 88. The morphological and physiological properties of the fusants were examined by determining bacteriocin productivity, acid-producing activity, ability of carbohydrates utilization and three important enzyme activities. The fusants produced a bacteriocin against indicator strains and fusant No. 1, 4 exhibited a larger inhibition zone compared to that of L. acidophilus 88. $\beta$-Galactosidase, phospho-$\beta$-galactosidase, lipase activities and resistance to NaCl of Lactobacillus sp. JC-7 were better than those of L. acidophilus 88. Fusant No. 3 and 7 exhibited excellent lipase activities. Protease activity and acid productivity of L. acidophilus 88 were better than those of Lactobacillus sp. JC-7. Proteasse activities of all fusants were higher than those of parental strains, and expecially fusant No. 5 and 7 exhibited excellent proteolysis ability.

To investigate the effect of sourdough on the characteristics of quality of barley bread, sourdough starter with Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus sanfrancisco and Enterococcus sp. were added to baking after 48 hours incubation at $37^{\circ}C$. 1. The pH of bread using Lactobacillus sanfrancisco starter was the lowest among tested starters. while the titratable acidity(TTA) of the strain was the highest, followed by Enterococcus sp.. 2. In bread, moisture contents of control were 38%. It was decreased during 6 days. The moisture contents of bread using Lactobacillus sanfrancisco starter were the highest among tested starters, followed by Enterococcus sp.. 3. Oneset temperature$(T_o)$, peak temperature$(T_p)$ and enthalphy $({\Delta}H)$ were increased during storage of 6 days. The enthalphy of bread using Lactobacillus sanfrancisco starter was the lowest among tested starters, followed by Enterococcus sp..

The effect of the Penicillium sp. PS-113 with high phosphate solubilizing activity and Lactobacillus sp. was studied on cucumber growing test in green house. Inoculation of Pemicillium sp. Ps113 $5.0{\times}10^6$cfu/ml and Lactobacillus sp. $6{\times}10^6$cfu/ml were longer than control about 3cm length of cucumber. The average weight was also increased 89.2g more than control. Total product of cucumber was 10,681.7g and it was increased 4517.3g as compared to control. Thus, Inoculations of high phosphate solubilizing microorganism increased in productivity on cucumber.

A lactic acid bacterium was isolated from kimchi. The isolated strain was identified as the genus Lactobacillus through its morphological, cultural, and physiological characteristics and named as Lactobacillus sp. JC-7. The optimum conditions for the electrofusion between streptomycin (2.5 mg/ml) resistant mutant of Lactobacillus acidophilus 88 and kanamycin (600 $\mu$g/ml) resistant mutant of Lactobacillus sp. JC-7 were evaluated. The highest number of fusants were obtained at a capacitance value of 120 msec (1670 $\mu$F), a field strength of 100 V/cm, and a pulse controller setting of 72$\Omega$. The optimum pH of electroporation buffer was 7.5 and the concentration of divalent cation was 1 mM Mg$^{2+}. Electrofusants were efficiently obtained by addition 20% polyethylene glycol to elec- troporation buffer. The yield of fusion was better than that of using polyethylene glycol mediated chemical induction.

Strains D4 and D5 were isolated from peach-rotten soil during the peach harvest season. The isolates were identified based on morphological and biochemical characterization, and identification was determined by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Results showed that D4 has high similarity to Lactobacillus plantarum ATCC $14917^T$ and Lactobacillus pentosus ATCC $8041^T$ at 99.05% and 98.98%, respectively. D5 was also similar to Lactobacillus pentosus ATCC $8041^T$ and Lactobacillus plantarum ATCC $14917^T$ at 98.71% and 98.64%, respectively. In contrast, isolates showed differences in carbohydrate utilization in comparison to Lactobacillus plantarum ATCC $14917^T$ and Lactobacillus pentosus ATCC $8041^T$. In view of this we performed VITEK MS matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) analysis, multiplex PCR fingerprinting, and random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD)-PCR to further confirm the identification of D4 and D5. The results of these analyses showed that both strains were most similar to Lactobacillus plantarum.

This study was carried out to investigate the isolation and characterization of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) from naturally fermented sauce-type kimchi. Sauce-type kimchi was prepared with fresh, chopped ingredients (Korean cabbage, radish, garlic, ginger, green onion, and red pepper). The two isolated bacteria from sauce-type kimchi were identified as Pediococcus pentosaceus and Lactobacillus brevis by 16S rDNA sequencing and tentatively named Pediococcus sp. IJ-K1 and Lactobacillus sp. IJ-K2, respectively. Pediococcus sp. IJ-K1 was isolated from the early and middle fermentation stages of sauce-type kimchi whereas Lactobacillus sp. IJ-K2 was isolated from the late fermentation stage. The resistance of Pediococcus sp. IJ-K1 and Lactobacillus sp. IJ-K2 to artificial gastric and bile acids led to bacterial survival rates that were 100% and 84.21%, respectively.

The bacteriocin produced by Lactobacillus sp. GM7311 was purified by sequential steps including n-propanol/acetone treatment, CM-cellulose chromatography, and gel filtration on Sephacryl HR-100. The relative activity of bacteriocin increased 493-fold after final purification step with a recovery of 8.3%. Two protein bands of ca. 8,200 and 2,500 were detected by SDSPAGE of bacteriocin purified through CM-cellulose and sephacryl HR-100 chromatography and both of them had bacteriocin activity.
