The cells of Lactobacillus plantarum MY4 isolated from the human feces were treated for 24 h in artificial bile after incubation for 2 h in artificial gastric juice and final number of the strain was reached to around $3.1{\times}10^8$ CFU/ml. In test of API ZYM kit, ${\beta}$-glucuronidase or ${\beta}$-glucosidase were not produced by L. plantarum MY4. However, ${\beta}$-galactosidase were weakly produced by it, which they would be alleviated the lactose intolerance. L. plantarum MY4 were resistant to antibiotics such as nisin, tetracycline, streptomycin, rifamycin, doxycycline, roxithromycin, chloramphenicol, nystatin, erythromycin, ciprofloxacin and gentamycin. L. plantarum MY4 was affected by alcohol concentration up to 8%, but more than 16%, their growth was not affected significantly. L. plantarum MY4 was shown to inhibit the growth of Listeria monocytogenes ATCC 19111 completely within 24 h of incubation, which indicates its bactericidal nature. Thus, L plantarum MY4 show promise as a probiotic strain because of its characteristics.

The principal objective of this study was to screen and select acid-tolerant Lactobacillus strains from chicken feces, feeds, and other sources. Fourty six strains evidencing acid tolerance (pH 3.5) were isolated in this study. Among them, nine strains exhibited marked immunostimulatory effects. Therefore, nine candidate strains were characterized for probiotic use. In order to evaluate macrophage activation, NO production was measured using RAW 264.7 cells. In particular, three strains (FC812, FC222, and FC113) evidenced the highest levels of NO production measured at $38.39{\pm}20.01,\;35.06{\pm}27.73$, and $33.88{\pm}15.99{\mu}M$, respectively, at a concentration of $10^{8}CFU/mL$. The majority of strains, with the exception of strain FC322, evidenced marked resistance to artificial gastric juice (pH 2.5 with 1%(w/v) pepsin). Additionally, strains FC222, FC421, FC511, and FC721 were highly resistant to artificial bile acid (0.1%(w/v) oxgall), whereas strains FC113, FC322, FC422, FC621, and FC812 were the least resistant to bile. All nine strains exerted antimicrobial effects against chickenrelated pathogens. Additionally, all nine strains were found to be resistant to several antibiotics. The isolated strains, except for strain FC322, were tentatively identified as Lactobacillus salivarius, using an API 50 CHL kit. These results demonstrate that some probiotic organisms may potentially probiotic properties, and thus may serve as an effective alternative to antibiotics in animal applications.

Bacillus polyfermenticus SCD was studied for its increasing stability by encapsulation, using 2, 3, and 4% sodium alginate. In these cases, 3% alginate resulted in the maximum survival of B. polyfermenticus SCD in artificial gastric juice for 3 h. Effects of several biopolymers on the encapsulated B. polyfermenticus SCD by 3% sodium alginate were investigated. Encapsulation with 0.5% methylcellulose showed the highest survival rate for 3 h in artificial gastric juice. Therefore, the optimized encapsulation material was 3% alginate with 0.5% methylcellulose. Furthermore, the survival of encapsulated B. polyfermenticus SCD was shown to be 122%, when 1% bile salt was added. Freeze-dried encapsulation resulted in lower survival than with non-dried encapsulation. Therefore, encapsulation was the most effective when 3% sodium alginate was used with 0.5% methylcellulose, but without freeze-drying.

To investigate the possible usage as probiotics, we isolated and identified one strain of bacillus from Korean traditional food, Jeotgal. The isolate was identified as Bacillus megaterium KS12 by examining its biochemical properties and 16S rRNA sequence analysis (99% similarity). B. megaterium KS12 exhibited high viability in artificial gastric juice for 3 h and in artificial bile salts for 24 h, about 14.4 and 14%, respectively. The herbal digestive medicine containing the isolate showed high starch hydrolytic activity and proteolytic activities (about 6-fold) compared to traditional herbal digestive medicine. The viable cells in the herbal digestive medicine containing the isolate were higher than those of traditional herbal digestive medicine.

A lactic acid bacterium showing antimicrobial activity against fish pathogen was isolated from gastrointestinal tract of flounder for the purpose of use as an aquaculture probiotics. From the analysis of morphological and physiological characteristics, the isolated strain was named as Lactococcus sp. HM58. Antimicrobial substance (AMS) from Lactococcus sp. HM58 showed strong growth inhibitory activity against Streptococcus sp., which is a fish pathogenic bacterium. AMS was presumed a proteinaceous compound with stability in heat and wide pH range from 2 to 10. It was started to produce in exponential growth phase and was not produced any more in stationary phase. It showed comparatively broad antimicrobial spectrum against most of gram positive bacteria used for this study. About $84\%$ of Lactococcus sp. HM58 was able to survive in the artificial gastric juice though it was low to the extent in the artificial bile juice. In the sensitivity test for various antibiotics, this strain was highly sensitive for doxycycline, erythromycin, amoxicillin clavu1anic acid and ampicillin.

A new technique has been developed for the preparation of Lactobacillus microcapsules to enhance the stability against high temperature, humidity, gastric acid and bile acid. Employing fluidized bed coating, primary sub-coating was processed in non-organic solvent system, so that Lactobacillus did not directly contact with organic solvent. Secondary enteric-coating was processed in organic solvent with low temperature $(below\;33^{\circ}C)$ technique, which minimized the heat labilability of Lactobacillus. Survival rate of Lactobacillus within microcapsule was not less than 95% and acid tolerance was above 30% in the artificial gastric acid. Further more it was dissolved in the artificial intestine juice within 2-3 hr. Average size of Lactobacillus microcapsules was $450\;{\mu}m$(25-50 mesh) and its viability was above 90% in the direct tableting.

본 연구에서는 한국인 분변으로 부터 분리, 동정된 Lactobacillus 속 균주의 종별 출현빈도, 산 생성능, 인공 위액 및 인공 담즙에 대한 내성, cholesterol 저하능력 등이 검토되었다. 생후3일부터 37세까지의 총 13명의 남·여의 분변으로부터 총 52균주의 Lactobacilli가 분리되었고 이 중 L. acidophilus가 19주로 가장 많았으며 다음으로 L. plantarum 순이었다. 분리주 중 L. acidophilus로 동정된 17주와 L. casei로 동정된 3주에 대해서 생리적 특성을 검토한 바 각각 다음과 같은 결과가 얻어졌다. 인공위액에 대한 내성 실험결과 L. acidophilus a-4는 pH 2.5에서 3시간 경과 후에도 전혀 사멸하지 않고 100% 생존하는 것으로 나타났으며, L. acidophilus a-2와 L. casei b-3도 75%이상의 높은 생존율을 나타내었다. 나머지 13주는 40%이하의 생존율을 나타내어, 균주 별로 인공위액에 대한 내성은 큰 차이를 나타났다. 내 담즙성을 측정한 결과 L. acidophilus a-3를 포함한 4주는 성장에 지장을 받지 않았으나 대부분의 분리 균주는 생균수가 처리전 보다 $54{\sim}99%$ 정도로 감소되는 것으로 나타나 인공위액 내성과 마찬가지로 균주에 따라 편차가 큰 것으로 나타났다. 환원 탈지유를 이용한 산생성능에 있어서는 두 L. acidophilus 균주 (a-2 및 a-16)가 60시간 경과 후 $2.1{\sim}2.3%$의 적정 산도까지 도달하였고 이때 pH는 $3.5{\sim}3.6%$이었다 60시간 배양 후 적정 산도가 0.8%에 도달하지 못한 것은 총 20주중 10주였다. 한편 cholesterol 저하능을 측정한 결과 공시한 20개 분리주 중에서 L. acidophilus a-2 주와 a-6 주가 70% 이상의 우수한 저하능력을 나타냈고, 12균주가 60% 이상의 저하능을 나타냈다. cholesterol 저하능은 동일 균종이라 하더라도 분리원(사람)은 물론 동일 분리원에서 유래된 균주 간에도 큰 차이가 나타났다. 담즙산에 대한 내성과 cholesterol 저하능력과의 관련성은 상호간의 유의적인 관계가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 결론적으로 본 실험에서 얻은 몇 균주는 인체에 섭취될 경우 사멸하지 않고 소화관 하부까지 도달할 수 있는 잠재성이 있었으며, 따라서 이들 분리주는 정장제로 이용될 수 있다고 생각되었다.

The identification and characterization of Bacillus polyfermenticus KJS-2 (B. polyfermenticus KJS-2) was conducted using TEM, an API 50CHB kit, 16S rDNA sequencing, a phylogenetic tree, and catalase and oxidase testing. The conversion rate of glucose to lactic acid by B. polyfermenticus KJS-2 was found to be $60.7{\pm}4.9%$. In addition, treatment of B. polyfermenticus KJS-2 with artificial gastric juice (pH 2.0) and bile acid (pH 6.5) for 4 h resulted in a final viability of $140{\pm}7.9%$ and $108{\pm}3.5%$, respectively. Finally, the results of adhesion experiments using Caco-2 cells revealed that the adherence of B. polyfermenticus KJS-2 to Caco-2 cells was approximately $65{\pm}0.6%$.

Seventeen lactic acid bacterial strains (LAB) were isolated using MRS agar medium from Jeotgal, a Korean fermented food, purchased at the Jukdo market of Pohang. To identify the strains isolated, they were tested by examining their cell morphologies, gram-staining, catalase activity, arginine hydrolase activity, D-L lactate form and carbohydrate fermentation. According to the phenotypic characteristics, three strains were tentatively identified as Lactobacillus spp., ten were Enterococcus spp. (or Streptococcus spp., or Pediococcus spp.) and the rest were Leuconostoc spp. (or Weissella spp.). Five strains among 17 were chosen by preliminary bacteriocin activity test. Four bacterial strains which inhibited both indicator microorganisms were identified by 16S rRNA sequencing. The results are as follows; Leuconostoc mesenteroides (HK 4), Leuconostoc mesenteroides (HK 5), Leuconostoc mesenteroides(HK 11), Streptococcus salivarius(HK 8). In order to check LAB which are showing a high survival rate in gut, we investigated three strains inhibiting both indicator microorganisms in artificial gastric acid and bile juice -all except HK8. The three strains mentioned above grew in extreme low acid conditions.
