This study was conducted to restore our traditional Cheongtaejeon tea and to develop the special products. We inoculated Cheongtaejeon tea with lactobacilli (Lactobacillus plantarum CHO 25) and the mixed microbial strains (L. plantarum CHO 25 + Saccharomyces cerevisiae + Bacillus amyloliquefaciens CHO 104). We also examined the sensuous characteristics and physiological activity of Cheongtaejeon tea which was produced by the inoculation of microbial strains. The external appearance of Cheongtaejeon teas were not significant among the teas which were produced with or without the inoculation of L. plantarum CHO 25 and the mixed microbial strains. The taste of the tea increased most in Cheongtaejeon tea which was produced without the inoculation of microbial strains. The taste and liking of Cheongtaejeon tea which was inoculated with Aspergillus oryzae and Aspergillus niger decreased significantly, and it was not suitable to drink. Total phenolics compound contents, total flavonoid contents and DPPH ($\alpha,\alpha$-diphenyl-$\beta$-picryl-hydrazyl) radical scavenging activity of Cheongtaejeon tea extracts increased much more in the order of that produced with the inoculation of L. plantarum CHO 25, control and that with the mixed microbial strains. However, nitrite radical scavenging activity in 1,000 mg/L Cheongtaejeon tea hot water extracts were in the order of the control (94.4%), the inoculation of L. plantarum CHO 25 (93.6%) and the mixed microbial strains (91.1%). Overall results indicated that the sensuous characteristics increased most in Cheongtaejeon tea which was produced without the inoculation of microbial strains, and those physiological activities in tea with the inoculation of L. plantarum CHO 25.

Lactobacillus casei, one of the most widely used probiotics, has been reported to alleviate multiple diseases. However, the effects of this species on intestinal diseases are strain-specific. Here, we aimed to screen L. casei strains with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)-alleviating effects based on in vitro physiological characteristics. Therefore, the physiological characteristics of 29 L. casei strains were determined, including gastrointestinal transit tolerance, oligosaccharide fermentation, HT-29 cell adhesion, generation time, exopolysaccharide production, acetic acid production, and conjugated linoleic acid synthesis. The effects of five candidate strains on mice with induced colitis were also evaluated. The results showed that among all tested L. casei strains, only Lactobacillus casei M2S01 effectively relieved colitis. This strain recovered body weight, restored disease activity index score, and promoted anti-inflammatory cytokine expression. Gut microbiota sequencing showed that L. casei M2S01 restored a healthy gut microbiome composition. The western blotting showed that the alleviating effects of L. casei M2S01 on IBD were related to the inhibition of the NF-κB pathway. A good gastrointestinal tolerance ability may be one of the prerequisites for the IBD-alleviating effects of L. casei. Our results verified the efficacy of L. casei in alleviating IBD and lay the foundation for the rapid screening of L. casei strain with IBD-alleviating effects.

Intensive taxonomical studies of the Aspergilli have long been made. Altogether 132 species and 18 varieties are recognized in the book "The Genus Aspergillus" written by Raper and Fennell (1965), in contrast to 77 species, 8 varieties and 4 mutations in " A Manual of Aspergilli" written 20 years earlier by Thom and Raper (1945). Classification of the Asperilli by Thom and Raper (1945) and by Raper and Fenell (1965). Classification of the Aspergilli by Thom and Raper (1945) and by Rapher and Fenell (1965) have been based mainly upon morphological and cultural detail both physiological and biochemical activities. In Korean there are many kinds of foods fermented natrually without the employment of selected microorganisms, and there are, of course, many different microorganisms serving in the fermentation fermented foods than other countries, the distribution and biological properties of the Asperigilli, in Korea are more variable. Taxonominical studies with 36 strains of Asperilli were based upon the examinations of morphological, cultural, and physiological characteristics. nineteen strains indigenous to Korea were selected from a lot of strains which had been isolated from meju and kokja and one strain from soil. They were identified according to the group key of Raper and Fennell. Ten strains were donated by Dr.Hesseltine of the Northern Utilization Research and Development Division in the U.S.A. From the Asp. japonicus supplied by Dr.Hesseltine, a white mutant was isolated and also studied. Two strains were donated by Dr. Murakami of the Research Institute of Brewing in Japan, and four strains came from Korean industrial companies.ndustrial companies.

Lactobacilli proliferating in fermented sausages of the specific ripening conditions were isolated from fermented sausages, manufactured in the absence of an added starter, during ripening under controlled temperature-humidity conditions. Based on morphological, physiological and bio- chemical characteristics and carbohydrate fermentation of isolated strains, three strains of isolates were identified as Lactobacillus curvatus, two strains as Lactobacillus sake. Optimal temperature and pH for growth of isolated strains were 30$\circ$C and pH 6.0~7.0, respectively. These strains were salt tolerant, multiplying in the presense of 6~8% NaCl.

In order to find out if staphylococci occur in significant numbers in Korean fermented fish products, a total of 40 different fermented fish products were collected from different markets in Korea and analyzed for their physico-chemical and microbiological states. The pH, salt concentration and water activity of the products were measured and the total viable cell count and the number of Staphylococcus grown on mannitol salt agar were determined. The identification of the strains of Staphylococcus were made by API Staph Strip and MIS identification kits, and the physiological properties of the identified strains were further characterized by different conventional methods. The pH, salt content and water activity of fermented fish samples varied widely from 4.8 to 7.1, 7.4-28.7$%$ and 0.77-0.84, repectively, depending on the type of product. The total viable cell count varied from $10^4-10^9$ cfu/ml, and most of the samples had $10^5-10^6$ cfu/ml No correlation was found between the viable cell count and the pH, NaCl concentration and water activity of the samples. Among the 35 colonies identified as Staphylococcus strains by the identification kits, S. xylosus was the most frequently occurring strain marking 17, and S. warneri was 8, S. epidermidis 4 and S. cohnii 2. S. hominis, S. saprophyticus, S. haemolyticus and S. aureus were also identified once each. In some samples (K-3, P-6, K-8, G-5 and G-10), 2-3 different species of Staphylococcus were found. Considering the region of sampling, among the 10 samples from Kunsan 5 were identified as S. warneri, while in the other regions S. xylosus was predominant. Although the physiological characteristics of the identified strains were generally consistent with those in Bergey's Manual, some discrepances were also observed. All the strains were highly salt tolerant, growing in the media containing over 18$%$ NaCl. All the strains except S. aureus (G-11) showed negative in hemolysis activity, plasma coagulation and DNase tests. All the strains including S. aureus (G-11) showed negative in enterotoxin test.
