A radiation-resistant bacterium was isolated from gamma irradiated dried laver (Porphyra tenera) and its microbiological characteristics were examined. As a result of resistance test to gamma irradiation, the isolate was survived $10^{3}$ CFU/mL even at 30 kGy and significant shoulder line zone was shown until 20 kGy. The $D_{10}$ value was 11.27 kGy. The isolate was gram-positive, non-motile coccus and catalase-positive. n culture, the red-pigmented smooth colony was observed. The biochemical test in API (analytical profile index) system showed that the isolate fermented glucose and fructose as the carbon source. Therefore, a radiation-resistant bacterium isolated from laver was potentially identified as Micrococcus roseus sp.

김에 존재하는 M. roseus는 비병원성 세균이나 사람이 면역력이 떨어지게되면 질병을 일으킬 수 있는 균주로서 열처리를 통해서도 쉽게 사멸되지 않고 특히 10 kGy의 감마선 조사에서도 1 log, 40 kGy의 조사선량에서 1 log CFU/mL 이상의 생존율을 나타내는 방사선 저항 세균이다. 이러한 방사선 저항 세균인 M. roseus를 광펄스 살균을 통해 살균 가능성을 알아보았다. M. roseus는 빛의 세기가 증가함에 따라 사멸율이 증가하는 경향을 나타냈으며, 1,000 V의 빛의 세기에서 3분 처리 후에 6.4 log의 감소효과를 보였고 tailing 현상을 보이지 않았다. 빛의 세기와 처리시간을 같이 한 조건에서는 단위 시간동안 펄스 수가 높을수록 살균율이 높아졌으며, 10 pps에서는 2분의 처리로 모든 균이 사멸하였다. 또한 광원과 시료사이의 거리는 가까울수록 사멸율이 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 이러한 연구 결과로 볼 때 광펄스 살균이 향후 김의 위생적 처리의 방법의 하나로 가능성이 있을 것으로 예측된다.

Attempts to isolate the naturally occurring ultra-violet resistant bacteria from environmental sources were made. The isolates, designated No.29, 100, and 107, among numbers of bacterial isolates revealed a remarkable resistance to UV ray, whose degree of resistance in dose/response kinetics was comparable to that of an endospore-former, Bacillus subtilis. In a range of 100-300 $Jm^{-2}$/min of UV irradiation, the isolates exhibited 500-1000 fold resistance compated with E. coli. The isolated appeared to possiss cell-bound pigment of organge or crimson-red. The isolate 29 is spherical in pairs or tetrads, whereas the isolates 100 and 107 are rod. All are Gram-gositive bacteria and seemed to be non-endospore-bearer. A number of biochemical studies pursued on the isolates suggested that they are quite different to each other. Electron microscopic examination and the physiological characters of the isolate 29 suggested that this UV resistant spherical bacterium might be one species of Deinococcus, probably Deinococus radiophilus. Since there is no documents on UV resistant, Gram-positive, non-sporeformer bacillus so far, the isolates 100 and 107 might be turned out as new kinds of UV resistant bacteria occurring in nature by further investigation.

The production of superoxide dismutase (SOD) varied in Deinococcus radiophilus, the UV resistant bacterium, depending upon different phases of growth, UV irradiation, and superoxide treatment. A gradual increase in total SOD activity occurred up to the stationary phases. The electrophoretic resolution of the SOD in cell extracts of D. radiophilus at each growth phase revealed the occurrence of MnSOD throughout the growth phases. The SOD profiles of D. radiophilus at the exponential phase received oxidative stress by the potassium superoxide treatment or UV irradiation also revealed the occurrence of a single SOD. However, these treatments caused an increase in SOD activity. The data strongly suggest that D. radiophilus has only one species of SOD as a constitutive enzyme, which seems to be a membrane-associated protein.

A Gram-positive bacterium was isolated from the saline soils of Jangpura (U.P.), India, and showed high-level of radiation-resistant property and survived upto 12.5 kGy dose of gamma radiation. The 16S rDNA sequence of this strain was examined, identified as Bacillus sp. strain HKG 112, and was submitted to the NCBI GenBank (Accession No. GQ925432). The mechanism of radiation resistance and gene level expression were examined by proteomic analysis of whole-cell extract. Two proteins, 38 kDa and 86.5 kDa excised from SDS-PAGE, which showed more significant changes after radiation exposure, were identified by MALDI-TOF as being flagellin and S-layer protein, respectively. Twenty selected 2-DE protein spots from the crude extracts of Bacillus sp. HKG 112, excised from 2- DE, were identified by liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS) out of which 16 spots showed significant changes after radiation exposure and might be responsible for the radiation resistance property. Our results suggest that the different responses of some genes under radiation for the expression of radiation-dependent proteins could contribute to a physiological advantage and would be a significant initial step towards a fullsystem understanding of the radiation stress protection mechanisms of bacteria in different environments.

식중독 원인균으로 알려진 Vibrio mimicus(V. mimicus)의 분포 상태와 이의 생리적 특성을 조사하기 위하여 1993년 1월부터 9월까지 민락동과 광안리 해수욕장 부근의 해수를 채취하여 V. mimicus의 월별 분포 상태를 실험하였으며, 여기서 분리된 균주 중에서 항생제 내성이 강한 균으로 분리, 동정된 V. mimicus K-1의 생리적 성질과 배양 특성을 조사하였다. 수온이 $16.3^{\circ}C$인 4월부터 검출되기 시작하여 8월까지 검출되었으나, 수온이 $15^{\circ}C$ 이하인 겨울철(1, 2, 3월)에는 전혀 검출이 되지 않았다. 분포 정도는 최소 0.4(MPN/100ml)에서 최고 70((MPN/100ml)으로 지역에 따라 차이가 있었다. V. mimicus K-1은 $37^{\circ}C$, pH 7.5, 그리고 염도 $0.5\%$에서 각각 최대의 증식율을 보였다. 그리고 항생제 (colistin, erythromycin, bacitracin, tetracycline, penicillin)에 대해서 내성을 나타내었다. 자외선(30W, 50m)에 대해서는 상당히 내성이 약했으며, 70초간 조사 후에는 검출이 되지 않았다. 열에 의한 치사율은 $50^{\circ}C$에서 5.7분, $60^{\circ}C$에서 2.1분, 그리고 $70^{\circ}C$에서는 0.7분 만에 최초균수의 $90\%$이상이 사멸하였다.
