돈분 고속발효에 적합한 미생물 제제를 개발하기 위하여 Bacillus속을 돈분에서 분리한 후,분리 균주의 생장능력, 효소활성 및 상호균주에 대한 항균활성을 비교 분석하였다. 분리된 4종을 동정한 결과, Bacillus cereus KD-2, B. pumilus KD-3, B. licheniformis KD-4로 분석되었고, 분리균주 KD-1은 그 어떤 Bacillus 종들과도 높은 일치성을 보이지 않았다. 생장최고온도는 Bacillus sp. KD-1이 $45^{\circ}C$, B. cereus KD-2가 $50^{\circ}C$, B. pumilus KD-3는 $53^{\circ}C$, B. licheniformis KD-4는 $55^{\circ}C$이었다. 이들 균주 모두를 혼합한 미생물 제제의 효소활성은 protease와 amylase는 37-$53^{\circ}C$ 범위에서 그 활성도에 차이를 보이지 않았고, lipase는 37-$42^{\circ}C$에서의 효소활성이 47-$53^{\circ}C$에 비해 2배 이상 높았다. 혼합 미생물 제제에 사용된 균주들의 상호 항균활성은 Bacillus sp. KD-1, B. cereus KD-2, B. pumilus KD-3는 타 균주의 생장에 영향을 주지 않았고, B. licheniformis KD-4의 배양 상층액을 10% (v/v)의 농도로 첨가시 다른 균주의 생장에 거의 영향을 주지 않았으나, 50% (v/v)로 혼합할 경우 다른 균주들의 생장을 억제하였다. 이 미생물 혼합 제제로 발효된 유기질비료의 성분은 유기물이 61.9%, 질소가 1.6%, C/N비가 22.4%, 인산이 0.21%, 칼리가 1.0%로 분석되었다. 발효 부산물인 액체비료의 암모니아 가스농도는 12.35 mg/1로 낮게 검출되었다.

요소가수분해효소는 요소를 암모니아와 이산화탄소로 가수분해하는 효소로 요로감염을 일으키는 세균의 주요 병원성 인자이다. 따라서 요소가수분해효소는 세균이 요로감염증을 유발하는데 중요한 역할을 한다. 본 연구에서는 요소가수분해효소를 생성하는 6가지 종류의 세균에 (K. oxytoca, K. pneumoniae, M. morganii, P. mirabilis, P. vulgaris, S. saprophyticus) 대한 제럼본의 억제효과와 요소가수분해효소 활성능을 평가하였다. 최소억제농도와 최소살균농도 실험에서 제럼본은 요소가수분해효소를 생성하는 6가지 종류의 세균에 대해 억제효과를 보였으며, 최소억제농도는 0.5-2 mM, 최소살균농도는 1-4 mM를 나타내었다. 요소가수분해 활성억제 실험에서 제럼본은 요소가수분해효소의 억제제로 사용하는 아세토히드록사민산 보다 뛰어난 요소가수분해 활성억제효과를 보였다. 그러나 제럼본은 요소가수분해효소를 이루는 소단위체의 발현양에는 영향을 주지 않았다. 이러한 결과들을 종합하여 볼 때, 제럼본은 요소가수분해효소를 생성하는 세균에 대한 살균력을 가질 뿐 만 아니라 훌륭한 요소가수분해 활성억제력도 보유하고 있는 것으로 사료된다.

신규 항세균물질을 탐색하는 사전조사에서 몇몇 분리균주들이 그람양성 세균과 그람음성 세균 모두에 항균활성을 보이며, 심지어 methicillin내성 Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)에도 항균활성을 나타내었다. 이들 균주 중에서 한 균주가 표현형과 계통분석을 이용하여 특히 16S 리보좀 RNA 유전자 염기서열에 기초하여 Pseudomonas aeruginosa로 동정되었다. BCNU 1204 균주의 항균물질은 King's medium B (pH 7.0)에서 $35^{\circ}C$의 온도 조건으로 4일 배양 후 가장 최대로 생산되었다. 항균물질을 각종 유기용매로 분획한 결과, P. aeruginosa BCNU 1204의 dichloromethane (DCM)분획과 ethylacetate (EA) 분획이 그람 양성 세균에 강력한 항균활성을 보였으며, 특히 ethylacetate (EA) 분획이 methicillin내성 Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)에 대하여 강한 항균활성을 나타내었다. Recycling preparative LC와 preparative TLC 로 활성물질 하나(분획 5-2)를 분리하여 GC-MS 분석한 결과 phenazine 화합물에 속하는 phenazine-1-carboxylic acid 로 동정하였다. 그리고 MRSA 균주에 대한 최소저해농도(minimum inhibitory concentration, MIC)가 MRSA균주인 CCARM 3089, 3090, 3091 그리고 3095 균주에 대하여 각각 $25{\mu}g/ml$, $50{\mu}g/ml$, ${\geq}25{\mu}g/ml$ 그리고 ${\geq}50{\mu}g/ml$ 임을 확인하였다. 그러므로 P. aeruginosa BCNU 1204 분리균주는 항 MRSA 항생물질을 개발하기 위한 잠재 가치가 높은 생물자원으로 기대되며, P. aeruginosa BCNU 1204 균주로부터 리더 화합물을 획득하기 위한 보다 많은 연구가 요구된다.

Red pine (Pinus densiflora) is widely used traditional medicine, pharmacological and nutritional values from which the phytochemical compounds are derived. The present study was aimed to examine the antibacterial effects in the absence and presence of a immature red pine cone extract against 13 microorganisms. The components in the aqueous extract from immature red pine cone were identified by GC-MS. About 1.4% of total polyphenolic compound was measured in aqueous extract collected from immature red pine cone. Also, the high concentration of ${\beta}$-phellenandrene, ${\alpha}$-pinene, limonene, bornyl acetate and aldehyde was detected in total ion chromatograms. Of total 13 microorganisms, 4 microorganisms including Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Vibrio cholera, Listeria monocytogenes, Klebsiella pneumonia were effectively killed by aqueous extract of immature red pine cone. The highest anti-bacterial effect was detected in P. aeruginosa, followed by V. cholera, L. monocytogenes and K. pneumonia. In case of P. aeruginosa, the largest diameter of inhibition zone was maintained to 1/2 solution treated cells and slightly decreased at 1/4 and 1/8 solution treated cells. Also, in test used V. cholera and L. monocytogenes, the inhibition zone was strongly formed in only 1 and 1/2 solution treated cells, while K. pneumonia showed the very small diameter of inhibition zone in all concentrations. Therefore, these results suggested that the aqueous extracts of immature red pine cone should be considered as a new and potentially important anti-bacterial substrate to effectively prevent the microbial infection and penetration.

벌집으로부터 채취한 수지상의 물질인 propolis는 다양한 생화학적 성분을 함유하며 기원전 300년부터 사용되어 온 전통약물이다. 최근 항균, 항 바이러스, 항진균, 국소마취, 면역 활성, 항염, 항산화 작용등의 생물학적 활성이 보고된 바 있다. 본 연구에서는 위염과 위궤양에 미치는 propolis추출물과 분획물의 약조학적 효과를 평가하고자 에탄올 추출물을 hexane, toluene, ethyl acetate로 분획하여 항위염 및 항위궤양 활성을 조사하였다. Propolis 에탄을 추출물은 염산·에탄을 위손상, Shay의 위액 분비 실험에서 용량 의존적인 보호효과를 나타내었고 hexnae과 toluene 분획물은 염산·에탄을 위손상, aspirin에 의한 위손상, Shay의 위액 분비 실험에서 위손상과 위액분비를 감소시켰다. propolis 추출물과 분획물의 위염 및 위궤양에 대한 보호효과는 H+/K+ATPase activity의 억제에 의한 위액분비의 감소에 의한 것으로 생각된다.

Decursinol, found in the roots of Angelica gigas Nakai, has been traditionally used to treat anemia and other various diseases. Recently, numerous biological activities such as cytotoxic effect on leukemia cells, and antitumor, neuroprotection, and antibacterial activities have been reported for this compound. Although a number of proteins including protein kinase C, androgen receptor, and acetylcholinesterase were proposed as molecular targets responsible for the activities of decursinol, they are not enough to explain such a diverse biological activity mentioned above. In this study, we employed a chemical proteomic approach, leading to identification of seven proteins as potential proteins interacting with decursinol. Most of the proteins contain a defined ATP or nucleic acid binding domain and have been implied to be involved in the pathogenesis and progression of various human diseases including cancer, autoimmune disorders, or neurodegenerative diseases. The present results may provide clues to understand the molecular mechanism of the biological activities shown by decursinol, an anticancer natural product.

Staphylococcus aureus, like other gram-positive pathogens, has evolved a large repertoire of virulence factors as a powerful weapon to subvert the host immune system, among which alpha-hemolysin (Hla), a secreted pore-forming cytotoxin, plays a preeminent role. We observed a concentration-dependent reduction in Hla production by S. aureus in the presence of sub-inhibitory concentrations of isorhamnetin, a flavonoid from the fruits of Hippophae rhamnoides L., which has little antibacterial activity. We further evaluate the effect of isorhamnetin on the transcription of the Hla-encoding gene hla and RNAIII, an effector molecule in the agr system. Isorhamnetin significantly down-regulated RNAIII expression and subsequently inhibited hla transcription. In a co-culture of S. aureus and lung cells, topical isorhamnetin treatment protected against S. aureus-induced cell injury. Isorhamnetin may represent a leading compound for the development of anti-virulence drugs against S. aureus infections.

Endophytic fungi have currently been acknowledged as the most promising source of bioactive compounds for drug discovery, and considerable progress has been made in exploring their diversity, species richness, and bioprospecting. Fungal endophytes from unique environmental settings offer a pool of potentially useful medicinal entities. Owing to the constant stresses imposed on macroalgae by marine environments, it is believed that algae and their associated endophytic symbionts represent a good source of structurally diverse bioactive secondary metabolites. Despite the proven significance of active metabolites of algal endophytes, little have been exploited. This review highlights the latest discoveries in algicolous endophytic research, with particular focus on the bioactive metabolites from algal endophytes. Compounds are classified according to their reported biological activities, like anticancer, antibacterial, antifungal, and antioxidant properties. Present experimental evidence suggests that a majority of the bioactive metabolites were reported from Phaeophyceae followed by Rhodophyceae and Chlorophyceae. An intensive search for newer and more effective bioactive metabolites has generated a treasure trove of publications, and this review partially covers the literature published up to 2016.

An antimicrobial material was purified from the acidified whole body extract of the jellyfish Nemopilema nomurai by using C18 reversed phase and cation-exchange high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Whole body extract and the purified compound (JAP-1) showed potent antimicrobial activities against a wide range of microorganisms including Escherichia coli D31, Bacillus subtilis, Streptococcus iniae and Candida albicans, without significant hemolytic activity. Treatment of JAP-1 with trypsin completely abolished all antibacterial activity against Bacillus subtilis, suggesting that JAP-1 is likely to be a proteinaceous antibiotic. The molecular weight of JAP-1 was determined to be 680.10 Da by MALDI-TOF mass spectroscopy.
