In order to screen lactic acid bacterial starter having high antibacterial activity and giving good flavor in Dongchmi for Naengmyon antibacterial activity and acid producing ability of 24 strains of Kimchi lactic acid bacteria were tested. Among 24 strains tested Leuconostoc mesenteroides subsp. mesenteroides C16, Leu. paramesenteroides C18 Lactobacillus bavaricus B01, B06, C19, C32 Lac. homohiochii B21 and B22 showed high antibacterial activity and their antibacterial activities were more active against Listeria monocytogenes and Staphylococcus aureus than against Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium. The odors of Dongchimi-juices fermented with Leu. mesenteroides or Leu. paramesenteroides were more favorable than those with Lac. bavaricus or Lac. homohiochii. But the odors of Naengmyon-broths which were made with each Dongchimi-juice were not significantly different each other. In consideration of antibacterial ac-tivity and flavor of Dongchimi-juice two strains of lactic acid bacteria Lac. homohiochii B21 and Leu. mes-enteroides subsp. mesenteroides C16 were finally screened out as Dongchimi starters.

마늘의 함량을 각각 0, 1, 2, 4, 6%가 되게하여 김치를 제조하고 $21^{\circ}C$에서 숙성시킨 김치의 숙성 과정중 호기성 세균, 효모 및 종류에 따른 유산균 수의 변화를 조사한 바 호기성 세균수는 숙성 $1{\sim}2$일까지 증식하다 그후 감소하였다. 마늘의 함량이 높은 김치일수록 발효초기에 호기성 세균의 증가폭이 작았으며 1%와 2%마늘 농도에서 큰 차이를 나타냈다. 총 유산균수는 호기성 세균과는 달리 숙성 $1{\sim}2$일까지 증가한 후 발효말기까지 그 수준을 유지하였으며 마늘의 함량이 높은 김치일수록 발효초기의 증가가 켰다. 발효 초기의 유산균의 증가에 주로 관여하는 유산균은 Lac. brevis와 low acid-producing lactobacilli였으며 또한, 발효 기간중 효모수의 변화는 마늘 함량의 변화에 뚜렷하게 나타나지 않았다.

본 연구에서는 bacterial cellulose를 생산하는 감귤에서 분리된 Gluconacetobacter sp. gel_SEA623-2를 이용하여 초기 초산농도 및 Lactobacillus plantarum KCCM 80077 유산균을 접종한 mixed culture가 bacterial cellulose 생산성에 미치는 영향을 알아보았다. 0.5%의 초산을 첨가한 mixed culture의 경우 초기 생균수가 $2.4{\times}10^6CFU/ml$에서 14일 동안 배양한 이후에 $1.1{\times}10^7CFU/ml$까지 증가하였고 total acidity가 0.5%의 초산을 첨가한 single culture와 비교하여 0.3% 가량 높게 측정되어 유산균에 의해 추가적으로 젖산이 생성된 것으로 판단된다. Single culture에서는 초기 초산농도가 0.0 및 0.5%일 때 1.0% 농도와 비교하여 상대적으로 높은 bacterial cellulose 생산성을 나타내기는 하였으나 유의적인 차이는 보이지 못하였다. 하지만 mixed culture에서는 0.5%의 초산을 첨가하였을 때 $37.83{\pm}6.81g/L$의 dry weight과 $10.33{\pm}0.58mm$의 thickness를 나타냄으로써 1%의 초산을 첨가한 single culture의 $28.40{\pm}1.23g/L$와 $7.50{\pm}0.50mm$의 생산량과 비교하여 유의적인 차이를 나타내었다(P<0.05).

Exopolysaccharides (EPSs) are microbial polysaccharides that are released outside of the bacterial cell wall. There have been few studies on EPS-producing lactic acid bacteria that can enhance macrophage activity and the underlying signaling mechanism for cytokine expression. In the current study, EPS-overproducing Lactobacillus (L.) paracasei KB28 was isolated from kimchi and cultivated in conditioned media containing glucose, sucrose, and lactose. The whole bacterial cells were obtained with their EPS being attached, and the cytokine-inducing activities of these cells were investigated. Gas chromatography analysis showed the presence of glucose, galactose, mannose, xylose, arabinose, and rhamnose in EPS composition. EPS-producing L. paracasei KB28 induced the expression of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-${\alpha}$, interleukin (IL)-6, and IL-12 in mouse macrophages. This strain also caused the degradation of $I{\kappa}B{\alpha}$ and phosphorylation of the major MAPKs: Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), p38, and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)1/2. The use of pharmacological inhibitors showed that different signaling pathways were involved in the induction of TNF-${\alpha}$, IL-6 and IL-12 by L. paracasei KB28. Our results provide information for a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms of the immunomodulatory effect of food-derived EPS-producing lactic acid bacteria.

Doenjang, a traditional Korean fermented soybean paste, is made by mixing and ripening meju with high salt brine (approximately 18%). Meju is a naturally fermented soybean block prepared by soaking, steaming, and molding soybean. To understand living bacterial community migration and the roles of bacteria in the manufacturing process of doenjang, the diversity of culturable bacteria in meju and doenjang was examined using media supplemented with NaCl, and some physiological activities of predominant isolates were determined. Bacilli were the major bacteria involved throughout the entire manufacturing process from meju to doenjang; some of these bacteria might be present as spores during the doenjang ripening process. Bacillus siamensis was the most populous species of the genus, and Bacillus licheniformis exhibited sufficient salt tolerance to maintain its growth during doenjang ripening. Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus faecium, the major lactic acid bacteria (LAB) identified in this study, did not continue to grow under high NaCl conditions in doenjang. Enterococci and certain species of coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS) were the predominant acid-producing bacteria in meju fermentation, whereas Tetragenococcus halophilus and CNS were the major acid-producing bacteria in doenjang fermentation. We conclude that bacilli, LAB, and CNS may be the major bacterial groups involved in meju fermentation and that these bacterial communities undergo a shift toward salt-tolerant bacilli, CNS, and T. halophilus during the doenjang fermentation process.

Si-Raw is a raw cured meat (raw, cured meat fermented with steamed rice) produced by the aboriginal people of Taiwan. In order to prevent food poisoning or intoxication from botulism, new methods of monitoring the production base on hurdle technology were investigated. New methods investigated incorporated citric acid, sodium hypophosphite, Monascus anka mash, plum paste or lactic acid bacteria inoculum added separately to meat with steamed rice and salt to lower the Aw (water activity) and pH values of the products to control the microbial growth. Results showed that anaerobic bacterial counts, lactic acid bacterial counts and aerobic bacterial counts for the products of all treatments were less than $10^6$, $10^5$ and $10^2cfu/g$, respectively. Sodium chloride content of all products was above 5.46%, water activity was below 0.939 and pH value was below 4.27. IMP was lower and ATP and hypoxanthine were higher. ATP concentrations were higher in the samples which contained the anka mash. Result of sensory panel test indicated that most people preferred the products with added sodium hypophosphite. Except for the fact that the content of tryptamine in the sample with Monascus anka mash was higher, the amine concentrations for all treatments were lower than those of other fermented meat products. The amino acid nitrogen content was higher in the product made from raw meat treated with citric acid, but lower in the other products. Neither Clostridium botulinum nor Trichinella spiralis were detected in any of the treatments. The result may indicate that hurdle technology is effective for hygiene and safe producing Si-Raw.

For an extension of the palatable stage in Kimchi which was limited by further lowering pH as the fermentation proceeds, the starter culture of bacteriocin-producing Enterococcus faecium DU 0267 obtained from Kimchi was added at the preparation time, and pH, bacteriocin activity, growth of lactic acid bacterial group and gas production in Kimchi were examined during the fermentation at 10, 20 and 30$\circ$C . The pH of Kimchi fell rapidly to 4.0~4.2 in the early fermentation stage, and then, has gone down very slowly throughout further fermentation. The lactic acid bacte- ria, particularly lactobacilli and leuconostoc, were remarkably slower in its growth than those in the control. Although the patterns of these change during fermentation at different temperatures were similar, these effects by the addition of starter were enhanced at 10 and 20$\circ$C. The bacteriocin activity was increased rapidly during log phase of the bacteriocin producer strain in the early fermentation stage of Kimchi and reached their maximum after fermentation at 10$\circC, for 8 days and at 20 or 30$\circ$C for 2 days. Thereafter, the activity disappeared quickly. The gas production by fermentation was also suppressed considerably, and their volume produced after fermentation at 20$\circ$C for 14 days corresponded to 60% of those of the control.

Yogurt is a food produced by bacterial fermentation of milk and the bacteria used to make it are known as "yogurt cultures". Most of them belong to probiotics such as Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus bacteria. Domestic fermented milk market is increasing and about 30 companies are producing yogurt. The purpose of this study was to analyze the quality characteristics of domestic commercial semisolid type yogurt. We collected 20 types of commercial yogurt at local markets. Physicochemical properties including pH, sugar content, acidity, viscosity and microbial characteristics of lactic acid bacteria counts were measured. The yogurt showed pH 4.5, 7.4~18.1% of sugar contents, 0.6~1.3% of total acids and 282~748 cP of viscosities. In the microorganism populations, lactic acid bacteria count were 6.5~11.5 Log CFU/mL and anaerobic lactic acid bacteria count were 7.2 ~ 11.1 Log CFU/mL. The quality characteristics were different depending on the constituents of the sample and the microorganisms used. These results are related to the quality characteristics of yogurts which are useful information about identifying new trends in domestic fermented milk industry.
