김치로부터 분리한 L. sp. KD 28은 펩타이드성 항균물질인 박테리오신을 생산하였다. 이 박테리오신은 ${\alpha}$-chymotrypsin, proteinase K, lipase, ${\alpha}$-amylase, carboxypeptidase A 효소에 대해서 매우 민감한 반응을 보였다. 낮은 pH 2.0에서 약 염기성의 pH 8.0까지는 항균활성을 온전히 유지하였으나 pH 8.0 이상에서는 항균활성이 감소하기 시작하여 pH 12.0에서는 25%로 감소하였다. L. sp. KD 28는 16S rRNA 분자계통학적 분석을 한 결과 L. lactis와 99% 상동성을 보였다. 또한 김치에서 분리한 L. sp. KD 28이 생산하는 박테리오신은 acetonitrile, isopropanol, methanol, chloroform 및 acetone 등의 유기용매 최종 농도 50%에서 항균활성은 영향을 받지 않았다. 열 안정성의 경우 $80^{\circ}C$까지 한 시간의 열처리에 안정하였으나 $100^{\circ}C$에서는 20분 이상의 열처리에 의해 항균활성이 감소하여 50분간 열처리할 경우 항균활성이 나타나지 않았다. 또한 이 박테리오신은 그람 음성보다는 양성 세균인 M. luteus IAM 1056, L. delbrueckii subsp. lactis KCTC 1058, E. faecium KCTC 3095, B. cereus KCTC 1013, B. subtilis KCTC 1023, S. aureus subsp. aureus KCTC 1916, B. megaterium KCTC 1098, B. sphaericus KCTC 1184 및 L. ivanovii subsp, ivanovii KCTC 3444 등에 대해서 항균활성을 보였다. 박테리오신을 SP-Sepharose 이온교환크로마토그래피로 부분 정제한 후 RP-HPLC 를 통해서 최종적으로 정제하여 tricine-SDS-PAGE를 통해 분자량을 확인한 결과 약 3.4 kDa로 나타났다.

A bacteriocin-producing strain PI80 was isolated from the gut of Penaeus indicus (Indian white shrimp) and identified as Streptococcus phocae PI80. The bacteriocin was purified from a culture supernatant to homogeneity as confirmed by Tricine SDS-PAGE. Reverse-phase HPLC analysis revealed a single active fraction eluted at 12.94 min, and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry analysis showed the molecular mass to be 9.244 kDa. This molecular mass does not correspond to previously described streptococcal bacteriocins. The purified bacteriocin was named phocaecin PI80 from its producer strain, as this is the first report of bacteriocin production by Streptococcus phocae. The bacteriocin exhibited a broad spectrum of activity and inhibited important pathogens: Listeria monocytogenes, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, and V. fischeri. The antibacterial substance was also sensitive to proteolytic enzymes: trypsin, protease, pepsin, and chymotrypsin, yet insensitive to catalase, peroxidase, and diastase, confirming that the inhibition was due to a proteinaceous molecule (i.e., the bacteriocin), and not due to hydrogen peroxide or diacetyl. Phocaecin PI80 moderately tolerated heat treatment (up to $70^{\circ}C$ for 10 min) and resisted certain solvents (acetone, ethanol, and butanol). A massive leakage of $K^+$ ions from E. coli $DH5\alpha$, L. monocytogenes, and V. parahaemolyticus was induced by phocaecin PI80, as measured by Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICPOES). Therefore, the results of this study show that phocaecin PI80 may be a useful tool for inhibiting L. monocytogenes in seafood products that do not usually undergo adequate heat treatment, whereas the cells of Streptococcus phocae PI80 could be used to control vibriosis in shrimp farming.

수집한 간장시료에서 형태학적인 특성에 따라 상이한 30주의 미생물을 분리하고 MRS 액체배지에서 $37^{\circ}C$, 24시간 배양한 후 회수한 배양 상등액 중 paper disc법으로 항균활성이있는 것을 일차 선별하여 proteinase K 처리에 의해 항균활성이 사라지는 시료 하나를 최종적으로 선별하였다. 선별한 분리주를 생화학적 분류와 분자계통학적 분류를 통해 동정한 결과 B. lichenifirnus로 나타났다. 이 균주의 생장온도와 배지의 초기 pH 에 따른 세포생장 및 박테리오신 활성을 조사한 결과 배양온도는 $37^{\circ}C$, 배지의 초기 pH는 7.0에서 박테리오신의 활성이 가장 높게 나타났다. B. lichenifirnus가 생산하는 박테리오신은 Bacill sogaerucey, Lactobacillus bulgaricus, Lactobacillus plantaum, Micrococcus Iateus, Paenibacillus polymyxa 및 Pediococcus dextrinicus 등에 대해서 항균활성을 보였으며, pH 3.0${\sim}$11.0에 이르는 거의 전 pH 영 역에서 20시간 이상 처리하여도 그 항균활성을 완전히 잃지 않아 비교적 넓은 pH 범위 내에서 안정함을 알 수 있었다. Acetone, acetonitrile, chloroform, ethanol 처리 및 $20{\sim}100^{\circ}C$C에서 60분간 가열시에도 높은 항균활성을 유지하였다. 여러 가수분해효소에 대한 내성을 조사한 결과 trypsin, a-chymotrypsin, pepsin, a -amylase 및 carboxypeptidase A 등은 항균활성에 영향을 주지 않았으나 lipase는 항균활성을 약간 감소시켰으며 proteinase K는 항균활성을 완전히 사라지게 하였다. 75% 황산암모늄 침전, 양이온교환크로마토그래피, 역상 HPLC 등의 과정을 통해 정제된 박테리오신의 상대비활성(specific activity)은 배양상등액에서 보다 약 75배 증가하였고 회수율은 13.5%였다. 역상 HPLC를 통해서 정제된 박테리오신의 분자량을 tricine SDS-PAGE을 통해서 확인한 결과 약 2.5 kDa으로 나타났으며 염색 시 단일 band로 나타나 순수하게 정제되었음을 확인하였다.

Natural antimicrobial substances are needed as alternatives to synthetic antimicrobials to protect against foodborne pathogens. In this study, a bacteriocin-producing bacterium, Bacillus subtilis HD15, was isolated from doenjang, a traditional Korean fermented soybean paste. We sequenced the complete genome of B. subtilis HD15. This genome size was 4,173,431 bp with a G + C content of of 43.58%, 4,305 genes, and 4,222 protein-coding genes with predicted functions, including a subtilosin A gene cluster. The bacteriocin was purified by ammonium sulfate precipitation, Diethylaminoethanol-Sepharose chromatography, and Sephacryl gel filtration, with 12.4-fold purification and 26.2% yield, respectively. The purified protein had a molecular weight of 3.6 kDa. The N-terminal amino acid sequence showed the highest similarity to Bacillus subtilis 168 subtilosin A (78%) but only 68% similarity to B. tequilensis subtilosin proteins, indicating that the antimicrobial substance isolated from B. subtilis HD15 is a novel bacteriocin related to subtilosin A. The purified protein from B. subtilis HD15 exhibited high antimicrobial activity against Listeria monocytogenes and Bacillus cereus. It showed stable activity in the range 0-70℃ and pH 2-10 and was completely inhibited by protease, proteinase K, and pronase E treatment, suggesting that it is a proteinaceous substance. These findings support the potential industrial applications of the novel bacteriocin purified from B. subtilis HD15.

토하젓에서 분리한 박테리오신 생산 균주 중 상대적으로 넓은 항균스펙트럼을 나타내는 1균주를 선발하였고 16S rRNA 유전자 염기서열 분석 결과 B. subtilis E9-1와 거의 일치하는 것으로 동정되었다. B. subtilis E9-1가 생산하는 박테리오신의 물리화학적 특성을 조사하였고, 박테리오신을 정제하였다. 이 박테리오신은 B. cereus KCCM 11204, M. luteus IAM 1056, L. monocytogenes KCCM 40307, E. faecium KCCM 12118 및 S. aureus subsp. aureus KCCM 40050 등에 대해서 항균활성을 나타내었다. pH 2.0~8.0 범위에서는 안정하였으나 8.0 이상에서는 항균활성이 감소하였다. Isopropanol, ethanol 및 methanol 등의 유기용매에서 100%까지, acetone과 acetonitrile에서는 80%까지 항균활성을 유지하였다. 내열성의 경우 $40{\sim}100^{\circ}C$에서 60분까지는 안정하게 항균활성을 보였다. 박테리오신 농도를 증가시키면서 B. cereus, L. monocytogenes, E. faecium 및 S. aureus subsp. aureus 등 시험균 4주의 감수성을 조사한 결과 농도 의존적으로 시험균의 생육이 감소하였고 이중 L. monocytogenes 의 감수성이 가장 높게 나타났다. 박테리오신의 작용양상을 알아본 결과 B. cereus와 L. monocytogenes 배양액에 박테리오신 용액을 첨가한 후 흡광도와 CFU값이 감소하여 bactericidal임을 확인하였다. 식품에 적용 가능성을 알아보기 위해 실험한 결과 3일째부터 박테리오신을 처리하지 않은 대조구에 비해 실험구에서 생균수(CFU/ml)가 감소하였다. 아세톤을 이용한 배양상등액의 농축, superdex peptide HR 10/300 column 이용한 겔여과크로마토그래피, 역상 HPLC로써 박테리오신을 정제하였다. 역상 HPLC를 통해서 정제한 박테리오신의 분자량을 tricine SDS- PAGE로 분석한 결과 약 4 kDa이었고 질량분석법으로 측정한 정확한 분자량은 3347.6 Da로 나타났다.

Strain BH5 was isolated from naturally fermented Kimchi and identified as a bacteriocin producer, which has bactericidal activity against Micrococcus flavus ATCC 10240. Strain BH5 was identified tentatively as Lactococcus lactis by the API test and some characteristics. Lactococcus lactis BH5 showed a broad spectrum of activity against most of the non-pathogenic and pathogenic microorganisms tested by the modified deferred method. The activity of lacticin BH5, named tentatively as the bacteriocin produced by Lactococcus lactis BH5, was detected at the mid-log growth phase, reached its maximum during the early stationary phase, and decreased after the late stationary phase. Lacticin BH5 also showed a relatively broad spectrum of activity against non-pathogenic and pathogenic microorganisms as tested by the spot-on-lawn method. Its antimicrobial activity on sensitive indicator cells was completely disappeared by protease XIV or ${\alpha}$-chymotrypsin. The inhibitory activities of lacticin BH5 were detected during treatments up to 100$^{\circ}C$ for 30 min. Lacticin BH5 was very stable over a pH range of 2.0 to 9.0 and was stable with all the organic solvents examined. The cell concentration and bacteriocin production in strain BH5 were maximum when grown at 30$^{\circ}C$ in a modified MRS medium supplemented with 0.5% tryptone, 1.0% yeast extract, and 0.5% beef extract as nitrogen sources. It demonstrated a typical bactericidal mode of inhibition against Micrococcus flavus ATCC 10240. Lacticin BH5 was purified through ammonium sulfate precipitation, ethanol precipitation, and CM-Sepharose column chromatography. The apparent molecular mass of lacticin BH5 was estimated to be in the region of 3.7 kDa, by the direct detection of bactericidal activity after SDS-PAGE. Mutant strain NO141 which was isolated by nitrosoguanidine mutagenesis produced about 4 fold more bacteriocin than the wild type.

A novel bioactive molecule produced by Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki Bn1 (Bt-Bn1), isolated from a common pest of hazelnut, Balaninus nucum L. (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), was determined, purified, and characterized in this study. The Bt-Bn1 strain was investigated for antibacterial activity with an agar spot assay and well diffusion assay against B. cereus, B. weinhenstephenensis, L. monocytogenes, P. savastanoi, P. syringae, P. lemoignei, and many other B. thuringiensis strains. The production of bioactive molecule was determined at the early logarithmic phase in the growth cycle of strain Bt-Bn1 and its production continued until the beginning of the stationary phase. The mode of action of this molecule displayed bacteriocidal or bacteriolytic effect depending on the concentration. The bioactive molecule was purified 78-fold from the bacteria supernatant with ammonium sulfate precipitation, dialysis, ultrafiltration, gel filtration chromatography, and HPLC, respectively. The molecular mass of this molecule was estimated via SDS-PAGE and confirmed by the ESI-TOFMS as 3,139 Da. The bioactive molecule was also determined to be a heat-stable, pH-stable (range 6-8), and proteinase K sensitive antibacterial peptide, similar to bacteriocins. Based on all characteristics determined in this study, the purified bacteriocin was named as thuricin Bn1 because of the similarities to the previously identified thuricin-like bacteriocin produced by the various B. thuringiensis strains. Plasmid elution studies showed that gene responsible for the production of thuricin Bn1 is located on the chromosome of Bt-Bn1. Therefore, it is a novel bacteriocin and the first recorded one produced by an insect originated bacterium. It has potential usage for the control of many different pathogenic and spoilage bacteria in the food industry, agriculture, and various other areas.

In the present study, acidocin 1B, a bacteriocin produced by Lactobacillus acidophilus GP 1B, exhibited profound inhibitory activity against a variety of LAB and pathogens, including Gram-negative bacteria, and its mode of action was to destabilize the cell wall, thereby resulting in bactericidal lysis. Acidocin 1B was found to be heat stable, because it lost no activity when it was heated up to $95^{\circ}C$ for 60 min. It retained approximately 67% of the initial activity after storage for 30 days at $4^{\circ}C$, and 50% of its initial activity after 30 days at $25^{\circ}C$ and $37^{\circ}C$. The molecular mass of acidocin 1B was estimated to be 4,214.65 Da by mass spectrometry. Plasmid curing results indicated that a plasmid, designated as pLA1B, seemed to be responsible for both acidocin 1B production and host immunity, and that the pLA1B could be transformed into competent cells of L. acidophilus ATCC 43121 by electroporation. Our findings indicate that the acidocin 1B and its producer strain may have potential value as a biopreservative in food systems.
