  • In July 2015, diseased leaves of black chokeberry (Aronia melanocarpa) were observed in Danyang and Gochang, Korea. The symptoms appeared as circular or irregular brown leaf spots, from which Alternaria tenuissima was isolated. The isolates were cultured on potato dextrose agar, and their morphological characteristics were observed under a light microscope. The colonies were whitish to ash colored. The pathogenicity test on healthy black chokeberry leaves produced circular brown spots, in line with the original symptoms. Molecular analyses of the ITS, GPD, RPB2, and TEF genes were conducted to confirm the identity of the pathogen. The phylogeny of the multi-gene sequences indicated that the causal agent was A. tenuissima. This study is the first report of A. tenuissima leaf spot on black chokeberry (A. melanocarpa).

  • In this study, we have developed a microbe-carrier that combined Desulfovibrio desulfuricans and zeolite for removal of Zn and As in contaminated seawater. Desulfovibrio desulfuricans, one of the sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) microorganism was exhibited stable growth characteristics in highly salted water and strong resistance to Zn and As contaminated seawater. Moreover, zeolites are one of the most useful carrier to remove heavy metals from wastewaters. The results showed that SRB immobilized zeolite carrier can enhance removal ratio of Zn and As. In addition, heavy metals tended to be better removed in medium at conditions of $37^{\circ}C$. In case of heavy metal concentration, they were effectively removed ranging from 50 to 100 ppm. These results show that SRB-zeolite carriers hold great potential to remove cationic heavy metal species from industrial wastewater in marine environment.

  • Vibriosis caused by Vibrio anguillarum and edwardsiellosis caused by Edwardsiella tarda are septicemic diseases of many commercially important freshwater and marine fishes, and threaten the aquaculture industry in Korea. Early diagnosis and accurate identification of these two bacterial species could help to prevent these diseases and minimize the damage to cultured marine species. This study designed a duplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method for the simultaneous detection of two major fish pathogens: V. anguillarum and E. tarda. Each pair of oligonucleotide primers exclusively amplified the target groEL gene of the specific microorganism. Twenty-two Vibrio and ten non-Vibrio enteric species were used to check the specificity of the primers, which were found to be highly specific for the target species, even among closely related species. The detection limit was 400 pg for V. anguillarum and 4 ng for E. tarda when mixed purified DNA was used as the template. This assay showed high specificity and sensitivity in the simultaneous detection of V. anguillarum and E. tarda from artificially inoculated seawater and fish.

  • Nowadays many people are concerned about being healthy, and many dairy products are taken as health supplementary foods. Among dairy products, kefir, also called as Tibet mushroom, is a yogurt fermented by kefir grain, which is a mixture of lactic acid bacteria and yeasts. Although there are many empirical evidences that kefir is very influential for human body, the exact reason is not definitively discovered. Therefore, it would be useful to understand characteristics of a kefir grain and to categorize bacteria in a kefir grain. In this paper, molecular biological apparatus such as PCR, electrophoresis, PCR purification, DNA sequencing were used to identify and classify the species of lactic acid bacteria and yeast in a kefir grain. We used PCR-based identification method using 16S rRNA primer and Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) primer. We identified 6 different species which were selected on different medium. In addition, observation with scanning electron microscope (SEM) enabled us to grasp an external shape of the kefir grain. Although we found a limited number of microbial species, more intensive research are needed for extensive identification of microorganism species in Korean kefir grain.

  • 제주 연안 양식장 배출수 퇴적층으로부터 미생물 배양 배지를 사용하여 총 200여 균주를 분리하였으며, 분리된 균주를 이용하여 olive oil이 함유된 평판배지에서 투명환을 형성하는 균주를 분리하였고, 이를 LI-68, LI-80로 각각 명명하였다. 분리 균주 LI-68, LI-80의 BIOLOG를 이용한 생화학적 분석 특성 및 16S rDNA의 염기서열 분석 결과 Janibacter anophelis와 99%의 유전적 상동성을 보여 최종적으로 Janibacter sp. LI-68, Janibacter sp. LI-80으로 동정되었다. 분리 균주 Janibacter sp. LI-68과 Janibacter sp. LI-80의 증식을 위한 최적 배양온도를 확인하고 증식온도에 따른 지방분해효소 활성의 변화를 조사하였으며, 이를 위하여 배양 온도를 $20^{\circ}C$에서 $40^{\circ}C$까지 $10^{\circ}C$ 간격으로 배양하여 균체의 증식과 분비되는 지질분해 효소의 활성을 조사하였다. 그 결과 분리균주 Janibacter sp. LI-68는 $30^{\circ}C$ 배양실험구에서 가장 높은 균 생육도를 나타냈으며, 효소활성은 균 생육도와는 다른 $40^{\circ}C$에서 가장 높은 효소활성을 보였다. 반면 Janibacter sp. LI-80 균주는 $30^{\circ}C$에서 가장 높은 균 생육도를 보였으며, 효소활성은 균 생육도와 반비례하여 $40^{\circ}C$에서 가장 높은 효소활성을 보였다.

  • 반폐쇄만이며 하계동안 저층 빈산소수괴(Hypoxic bottom area)가 형성되는 진해만 일대 해역중의 하나인 원문만에서 해양세균의 계절적 분포와 해양세균이 용존산소소모에 미치는 영향을 알기 위하여 하계동안 미소생물의 전자전달계 활성도(Electron transport system activity)로서 잠재적 산소소모량(potential consumption of oxygen)을 구하였다. 해양세균의 계절별 우점종은 추계('89년 10월)에는 Pseudomonas spp., 동계 ('90년 2월)에는 Serratia spp., 춘계('90년 5월)에는 Acinetobacter spp., 하계('90년 8월)에는 Flavobacterium spp.가 우점하였다. 조사기간동안 생균수는 하계('90년 8월)에 표층, 저층, 저질의 평균치가 각각 $2.12\times10^6cells/ml,\;1.34\times10^6cells/ml,\;1.55\times10^7cells/ml$로 높은 분포치를, 동계에는 표층, 저층, 저질의 평균치가 각각 $2.08\times10^5cells/ml,\;1.54\times10^5cells/ml,\;1.28\times10^6cells/ml$로 낮은 분포치를 보여주었다. 또한 전자전달계 활성(Electron Transport System Activity)으로 잠재적 산소소모량을 조사한 결과 하계동안 수괴에서 미소생물군집의 잠재적 산소소모량은 $232.4-637.5{\mu}l/O_2/l/day$, 이중 세균의 잠재적 산소소모량은 $142.6-432.4{\mu}l/O_2/l/day$로서 수괴의 미소생물군집의 잠재적 산소소모량의 약 $55\%$를 차지하여, 하계동안 저층의 산소소모에 큰 영향을 미침을 알 수 있었으며, 세균의 잠재적 산소소모량은 생균수와 밀접한 관계가 있었다.

  • 본 연구에서는 생리활성물질을 생성하는 해양미생물을 분리하기 위하여 연근해역의 해면을 조사하였다. 해면 중의 미생물은 $1.2{\times}10{\sim}2.1{\times}10^3/g$ 범위에 있었고, 이들 중 방선균은 $0.01{\sim}0.5\%$(data 생략)로 나타났다. 분리된 미생물은 각각 배양하여 항균물질을 검토하였으며, 검토하던 중에 비교적 강한 항균물질을 생산하는 균주 No. 101을 분리, 선발하였다. 선발된 균의 특징은 sclerotia로 형태가 다양하였고, 다양한 배지에서 생육이 가능하였고, 기균사의 색깔은 회백색, 배면의 색깔은 주로 회백색에서 갈색으로 나타났으며, 젤라틴 액화능과 전분 분해능을 가지나 myo-inositol은 이용하지 못하였다. 이 균의 배양학적 특성은 최적 pH 및 온도가 $6.5{\sim}7.0$$30^{\circ}C$였으며, 탄소원으로는 starch가 30g/l, 질소원으로는 casamino acid 10g/l가 적합한 것으로 나타났다. 방선균 No. 101의 균체 및 균배양액의 추출물에 대한 항균 및 항진균성에서는 Staphylococcus aureus와 Bacillus subtilis에서 강한 항균력을, 효모와 곰팡이에 대하여는 낮은 항진균성을 나타내었다.

  • Packaged food products often undergo retort processing, a thermal processing in a pressurized vessel called a retort, to ensure their microbiological safety or shelf-stability under normal non-refrigerated conditions of storage and distribution. Retort processing is generally aimed to accomplish commercial sterility of packaged foods with acceptable nutritional and sensorial qualities. Fundamental principles on retort processing, such as thermal resistance kinetics of target microorganism, heat penetration theory, and methods for evaluating process sterility and food quality loss, were reviewed. Factors affecting process severity, heat transfer mechanism, and heat penetration efficiency were summarized. General features of retortable packaging formats including metal cans, glass jars, and plastic packages were also briefly reviewed.
