The purpose of this study was to examine the suvival rates of cryopreserved porcine embryos collected on Day 6 (Day 0=onset of estrus) with various cryprotectants. Eighty two embryos at different stages, ranged from expanded blastocyst to hatched blastocyst, were allocated to 6 experimental groups in different combinations of cryoprotectants glycerol, egg yolk and/or trehalose. Porcine embryos were cryopreserved using conventinal slow freezing precedures. The embryos were equilibrated with one of the freezing solutions, cooled from 25 to -7$^{\circ}C$ at 1$^{\circ}C$/min, seeded at -7$^{\circ}C$ frozen to -36$^{\circ}C$ at 0.5$^{\circ}C$/min, and then plunged into liquid nitrogen. The frozen embryos were thawed by immersion in 37$^{\circ}C$ water and the cryoprotectants were removed by dilution with 0.5M sucrose solution. Embryonic survival was estimated from the normal development of embryos for 12, 24 and 48hrs culture. Then the embryos were stained and their cell nuclei was counted. The survival rates of morphological embryos were significantly higher in group I (10% glycerol) or group IV (10% glycerol＋10% egg yolk＋0.5M trehalose) than those in other groups, although the nuclei number was quite higher in embryos treated with 10% glycerol and 0.25M trehalose at expended blastocyst. However, hatched blastocysts showed higher viability and nuclei number treated with either egg york or trehalose, but the survival rates after 48hrs of culture were quite low. These results indicate that egg yolk and trehalos as a supplement to freezing solutions can be useful to the cryopreservation ofn porcine embryos.

The aim of this study is to determine the phagocytosis-promoting factor(s) for feline peripheral blood polymorphonuclear cells (PMN) by culture supernatant from mono-nuclear cells (MNC) treated with egg white derivatives (EWD). The phagocytic activity of PMN was analyzed by a flow cytometry system. The EWD did not show direct effect on the phagocytic response of PMN. The phagocytic activity of PMN was enhanced by culture supernatant from MNC but not PMN treated with EWD. Therefore, it was suggested that the enhanced phagocytic activity of feline PMN could be mediated by humoral factor(s) released from MNC treated with EWD. Thus, the phagocytosis-promoting factor(s) in supernatant fraction from MNC culture treated with EWD were isolated by reverse phase high pressure liquid chromatography. The resulting supernatant fraction on 29.02 minutes of retention time showed high phagocytic activity of PMN. The molecular weight of this supernatant fraction was 16 to 18 kDa when analyzed by capillary electrophoresis. The isoelectric point was pH 5.76 when assessed by ion-exchange chromatography. These results suggest that EWD stimulates feline MNC to elaborate a phagocytosis-promoting factor, 16 to 18 kDa of molecular weight, which could be an important mediator for the enhancement of phagocytic activity of feline peripheral blood phagocytes. Further study will be needed to elucidate this phagocytic factor.

The analytical method of ${\beta}-ecdysone$, the insect moulting hormone, by high performance liquid chromatograph (HPLC) with UV detector was developed using boronic ester derivatization and applied to the extracts of Ajuga iva, Silene otites and Schistocerca egg. Derivatization of yield with methyl-, butyl-, and phenyl-boronate was completed under mild conditions with 20-hydroxyecdysone. The conversion ratios of boronate were estimated to be 70% in methylboronic acid, 89% in butylboronic acid and 93% in phenylboronic acid. Phenylboronate showed a high sensitivity and demonstrated an effective separation on HPLC. The optimum temperature and reaction time for derivative formation were $25^{\circ}C$ and 20 min. respectively. ${\beta}-Ecdysone$ was effectively identified in extracts of Ajuga iva, Silene otites and Schistocerca egg by the HPLC method.

The present study described the isolation of 2-methylbutyric acid (2-MBA) produced from Bacillus pumilus L1, to subsequently investigate its nematicidal activity for the control of the root-knot nematode. The results showed that 2-MBA could be purified by chromatographic techniques and was identified using nuclear magnetic resonance and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Crude extract and partially purified compounds had a significant effect on the inhibition of egg hatchability and second-stage juvenile (J2) mortality. A dose-dependent effect of 2-MBA was observed for J2 mortality and egg hatchability. Egg hatchability was 69.2%, 59.9%, 32.7%, and 0.0% at 125, 250, 500, and $1000{\mu}g\;mL^{-1}$ of 2-MBA after 4 d of incubation, respectively. Meanwhile, J2 mortality was in the range of 24.4%-100.0% after 2 d of incubation, depending on the concentrations of 2-MBA used. A pot experiment also demonstrated that treatment of B. pumilus L1 culture caused a significant reduction in the number of galls, egg masses, and J2 population than that of the tap water (TW) control. However, as the B. pumilus L1 culture concentration was decreased, the efficacy of nematode control by treatment of B. pumilus L1 culture was reduced compared to that of TW. B. pumilus L1 inoculation at different concentrations also promoted cucumber plant growth. Therefore, our study demonstrated the potential of 2-MBA from B. pumilus L1 as a biocontrol agent against the root-knot nematode and a plant growth promoter for cucumber plants.

본 연구에서는 엽록소 형광반응 (OJIP)분석을 통해 고추재배에서 폐달걀 분해 액비의 생육증진효과에 대하여 평가하였다. 고추재배 전기간을 통하여 고추의 생장은 통계학적으로 유의성을 보이지는 않았으나, 폐달걀 분해 액비를 처리한 실험구에서 좋은 생육을 보였다. 엽록소 형광반응 실험 시작한 후 무처리구의 엽록소 형광량이 분해 액비의 형광량보다 커서 분해 액비 처리구의 광이용 효율이 더 좋았음을 알 수 있었다. 이는 결국 광합성량의 증가로 이어질 것으로 판단된다. 광화학 매개변수 중 Fo, ABS/RC, RC/ABS, TRo/RC, $DI_0$/RC, $\text{DF_{TOTAL ABS}}$ 등 6개 parameter가 광화학 반응의 효율을 나타내는 중요한 요인으로 판단되었다.

희소 한우인 칡소의 정액 동결을 위해서 레시딘을 기본 희석제로 하는 AndroMed와 Tris-egg yolk extender를 사용하여 정자의 생존율과 활력 조사를 위해서 본 연구를 수행하였다. AndroMed 희석제를 사용하였을 때 생존율과 활력은 $73.4{\pm}11.2%$와 $67.9{\pm}14.6%$의 결과를 보였다. 그리고 Tris-egg yolk extender의 경우는 각각 $89.7{\pm}19.8%$와 $78.4{\pm}18.7%$ 결과를 보여 생존율에서는 Tris-egg yolk 희석제가 AndroMed 희석제를 사용하였을 때보다 유의적으로(p<0.05) 높은 결과를 보였다. 그러나 활력에서는 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았으나 Tris-egg yolk 희석제에서 높은 경향을 보였다. 정액의 동결을 위해서 평형 시간에 따른 정자의 활력 조사를 위해서 육안적 방법과 CASA 프로그램 방법으로 조사를 실시한 결과, 처음 2시간부터 20시간까지 평형을 유도한 결과 육안적 방법보다는 CASA 프로그램 분석 방법의 결과 높은 수치를 확인할 수 있었다. AndroMed와 Tris-egg yolk extender 두 종류의 희석제로 사용된 동결 정액 사용으로 체외수정란을 생산 결과로서 분할율은 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았으나(81.7% vs. 82.2), 배반포 발달율에서는 29.6% vs. 42.3%로서 Tris-egg yolk 희석제를 사용하였을 때 유의적으로(p<0.05) 높은 발달율을 보였다. 이러한 결과를 볼 때 희소 한우 품종인 침소 정액 동결을 위해서 Tris-egg yolk 희석제 사용이 동결된 정자의 생존율과 수정 능력 개선으로 실제적인 인공수정과 체외수정란 생산 및 가축유전자원 보존을 위해서도 효과적일 것으로 사료된다.

Eggs are likely to be used in agriculture because they can provide enough nutrients for crop growth. Statistics show that a large number of eggs are lost due to breakage before reaching the final consumer. The purpose of this study was to make a natural liquid fertilizer as a substitute for chemical fertilizers using broken eggs as a resource and to evaluate the efficiency of the formulated fertilizer. To make the liquid fertilizer, the broken eggs and distilled water were mixed at ratios of 6 : 4 and 4 : 6. Then, effective micro-organisms (EM) and sugar were added, and the mixture was fermented. The temperature and electrical conductivity (EC) increased gradually with the fermentation while the pH decreased. When evaluated following the seed germination index method of the compost, it was found that the fertilizer matured 10 days after the beginning of the experiment. The growth experiment was conducted with lettuce in which the fermented liquid fertilizer was compared with a commercial liquid fertilizer. The 6 : 4 treatment produced plants with the densest fresh shoot and roots weighing 41.6 and 4.6 g, respectively. The number of leaves (12.3 per plant) was also the highest for the 6 : 4 treatment. Soil analysis showed that the soil pH was improved, and the soil organic matter was increased in the fermented liquid fertilizer treatment.

The strains associated with foodborne Salmonella enterica Thompson outbreaks in Korea have not been identified. Therefore, we characterized S. Thompson strains isolated from chocolate cakes linked to foodborne outbreaks in Korea. A total of 56 strains were isolated from preserved cake products, products in the supply chain distribution, the manufacturer's apparatus, and egg white liquid products used for cream preparation. Subsequently, serological typing, pathogenic gene-targeted polymerase chain reaction (PCR), pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), and whole-genome multi-locus sequence typing (wgMLST) were performed to characterize these isolates. The antigen formula of all isolates was 7:k:1,5, namely Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica Serovar Thompson. All 56 isolates harbored invA, his, hin, and stn, and were negative for sefA and spvC based on gene-targeted PCR analyses. Based on PFGE results, these isolates were classified into one group based on the same SP6X01.011 pattern with 100% similarity. We selected 19 strains based on the region and sample type, which were subjected to wgMLST. Although the examined strains showed 100% similarity, they were classified into seven clusters based on allelic differences. According to our findings, the cause of these outbreaks was chocolate cake manufactured with egg white liquid contaminated with the same Salmonella Thompson. Additionally, comparative analysis of wgMLST on domestic isolates of S. Thompson from the three outbreaks showed genetic similarities of over 99.6%. Based on the results, the PFGE and wgMLST combination can provide highly resolved phylogeny and reliable evidence during Salmonella outbreak investigations.
