  • Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate whether various saliva collection methods affect the observed salivary microbiome and whether microbiomes of stimulated and unstimulated saliva and plaque differ in richness and diversity. Methods: Seven sampling methods for unstimulated saliva, stimulated saliva, and plaque samples were applied to six orally and systemically healthy participants. Bacterial 16S ribosomal RNA genes of 10 major oral bacterial species, namely, Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, Porphyromonas gingivalis, Tannerella forsythia, Treponema denticola, Fusobacterium nucleatum, Prevotella intermedia, Prevotella nigrescens, Streptococcus mitis, Streptococcus sobrinus, and Lactobacillus casei, were analyzed by real-time polymerase chain reaction. We comprehensively examined the dependence of the amount of bacterial ribosomal DNA (rDNA), bacterial-community composition, and relative abundance of each species on sample collection methods. Results: There were significant differences in the bacterial rDNA copy number depending on the collection method in three species: F. nucleatum, P. nigrescens, and S. mitis. The species with the highest richness was S. mitis, with the range from 89.31% to 100.00%, followed by F. nucleatum, P. nigrescens, T. denticola, T. forsythia, and P. intermedia, and the sum of the proportions of the remaining five species was less than 1%. The species with the lowest observed richness was P. gingivalis (<0.1%). The Shannon diversity index was the highest in unstimulated saliva collected with a funnel (4.449). The Shannon diversity index was higher in plaque samples (3.623) than in unstimulated (3.171) and stimulated (3.129) saliva and in mouthwash saliva samples (2.061). Conclusions: The oral microbial profile of saliva samples can be affected by sample collection methods, and saliva differs from plaque in the microbiome. An easy and rapid technique for saliva collection is desirable; however, observed microbial-community composition may more accurately reflect the actual microbiome when unstimulated saliva is assayed.

  • The gut microbiota is involved in the maintenance of physiological homeostasis and is now recognized as a regulator of many diseases. Although germ-free mouse models are the standard for microbiome studies, mice with antibiotic-induced sterile intestines are often chosen as a fast and inexpensive alternative. Pathophysiological changes in the gut microbiome have been demonstrated, but there are no reports so far on how such alterations affect the bacterial composition of the uterus. Here we examined changes in uterine microbiota as a result of gut microbiome disruption in an antibiotics-based sterile-uterus mouse model. Sterility was induced in 6-week-old female mice by administration of a combination of antibiotics, and amplicons of a bacteria marker gene (16S rRNA) were sequenced to decipher bacterial community structures in the uterus. At the phylum-level, Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, and Actinobacteria were found to be dominant, while Ralstonia, Escherichia, and Prauserella were the major genera. Quantitative comparisons of the microbial contents of an antibiotic-fed and a control group revealed that the treatment resulted in the reduction of bacterial population density. Although there was no significant difference in bacterial community structures between the two animal groups, β-diversity analysis showed a converged profile of uterus microbiotain the germ-free model. These findings suggest that the induction of sterility does not result in changes in the levels of specific taxa but in a reduction of individual variations in the mouse uterus microbiota, accompanied by a decrease in overall bacterial population density.

  • The integrated fixed-film activated sludge (IFAS) system is a variation of the activated sludge wastewater treatment process, in which hybrid suspended and attached biomass is used to treat wastewater. Although the function and performance of the IFAS system are well studied, little is known about its microbial community structure. In this study, the composition and diversity of the bacterial community of suspended and attached biomass samples were investigated in a full-scale IFAS system using a high-throughput pyrosequencing technology. Distinct bacterial community compositions were examined for each sample and appeared to be important for its features different from conventional activated sludge processes. The abundant bacterial groups were Betaproteobacteria (59.3%), Gammaproteobacteria (8.1%), Bacteroidetes (5.2%), Alphaproteobacteria (3.9%), and Actinobacteria (3.2%) in the suspended sample, whereas Actinobacteria (14.6%), Firmicutes (13.6%), Bacteroidetes (11.6%), Betaproteobacteria (9.9%), Gammaproteobacteria (9.25%), and Alphaproteobacteria (7.4%) were major bacterial groups in the attached sample. Regarding the diversity, totals of 3,034 and 1,451 operational taxonomic units were identified at the 3% cutoff for the suspended and attached samples, respectively. Rank abundance and community analyses demonstrated that most of the diversity was originated from rare species in the samples. Taken together, the information obtained in this study will be a base for further studies relating to the microbial community structure and function of the IFAS system.

  • Propionate is an important intermediate product during the methane fermentation of organic matter, and its degradation is crucial for maintaining the performance of an anaerobic digester. In order to understand the effect of temperature on propionate degradation, an upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor with synthetic wastewater containing propionate as a sole carbon source was introduced. Under the hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 10 h and influent propionate of 2,000 mg/l condition, propionate removal was above 94% at 30-$35^{\circ}C$, whereas propionate conversion was inhibited when temperature was suddenly decreased stepwise from $30^{\circ}C$ to $25^{\circ}C$, to $20^{\circ}C$, and then to $18^{\circ}C$. After a long-term operation, the propionate removal at $25^{\circ}C$ resumed to the value at 30- $35^{\circ}C$, whereas that at $20^{\circ}C$ and $18^{\circ}C$ was still lower than the value at $35^{\circ}C$ by 8.1% and 20.7%, respectively. Microbial community composition analysis showed that Syntrophobacter and Pelotomaculum were the major propionate-oxidizing bacteria (POB), and most POB had not changed with temperature decrease in the UASB. However, two POB were enriched at $18^{\circ}C$, indicating they were low temperature tolerant. Methanosaeta and Methanospirillum were the dominant methanogens in this UASB and remained constant during temperature decrease. Although the POB and methanogenic composition hardly changed with temperature decrease, the specific $COD_{Pro}$ removal rate of anaerobic sludge (SCRR) was reduced by 21.4%-46.4% compared with the control ($35^{\circ}C$) in this system.

  • The bacterial diversity inherent to the biofilm community structure of a modified rotating biological contactor wastewater treatment process, referred to as the Rotating Activated Bacillus Contactor (RABC) process, was characterized in this study, via both culture-dependent and culture-independent methods. On the basis of culture-dependent methods, Bacillus sp. were found to exist in large numbers on the biofilm (6.5% of the heterotrophic bacteria) and the microbial composition of the biofilms was quite simple. Only three phyla were identified-namely, the Proteobacteria, the Actinobacteria (High G+C Gram-positive bacteria), and the Firmicutes (Low G+C Gram-positive bacteria). The culture-independent partial 16S rDNA sequence analysis revealed a considerably more diverse microbial composition within the biofilms. A total of eight phyla were recovered in this case, three of which were major groups: the Firmicutes (43.9%), the Proteobacteria (28.6%), and the Bacteroidetes (17.6%). The remaining five phyla were minor groups: the Planctomycetes (4.4%), the Chlorobi (2.2%), the Actinobacteria (1.1%), the Nitrospirae (1.1%), and the Verrucomicrobia (1.1%). The two most abundant genera detected were the endospore-forming bacteria (31.8%), Clostridium and Bacillus, both of which are members of the Firmicutes phylum. This finding indicates that these endospore-forming bacteria successfully colonized and dominated the RABC process biofilms. Many of the colonies or clones recovered from the biofilms evidenced significantly high homology in the 16S rDNA sequences of bacteria stored in databases associated with advanced wastewater treatment capabilities, including nitrification and denitrification, phosphorus accumulation, the removal of volatile odors, and the removal of chlorohydrocarbons or heavy metals. The microbial community structures observed in the biofilms were found to correlate nicely with the enhanced performance of advanced wastewater treatment protocols.

  • The effects of maesil extract addition on the palatability and quality of kochujang, a traditional Korean condiment, were investigated in terms of the microbial characteristics, enzyme activities, and taste components during 100 days of fermentation. Viable cell counts of bacteria and yeast in maesil extract-added kochujang (maesil kochujang) were increased in proportion to added maesil extract from 1 to 5% during fermentation, up to 80 and 20 days, respectively and maintained $5.0{\sim}14.5{\times}10^6$ CFU/g. Activities of α-amylase, $\beta$-amylase, and protease were also increased in proportion to added maesil extract up to 20, 20, and 60 days, respectively and were higher than those of control during the aging process. The major organic acids in maesil kochujang were citric and malic acid. Composition and content of free sugar were not changed remarkably in general by the addition of maesil extract except maltose. The major free sugars of maesil kochujang were in the order of glucose>sucrose>maltose, and glucose content decreased significantly as the ratio of maesil extract increased, while maltose content increased significantly (p<0.05).

  • 전통 방식으로 된장을 만드는 과정 동안 세균군집의 다양성과 변화를 관찰하기 위하여 16S rRNA 유전자 서열을 기반으로 하는 pyrosequencing을 수행하였다. 전통 된장 제조에 가장 중요한 접종원으로서 볏짚에 존재하는 세균 군집을 문수준에서 확인했을 때, 상대적 군집 비율로 1% 이상의 분포를 보였던 4종류는 Proteobacteria (71%), Actinobacteria (20.6%), Bacteroidetes (4.2%), Firmicutes (1.3%) 문이었다. 그러나 볏짚 세균 군집구조 결과와 달리 메주의 군집구조에서는 99.1%가 Firmicutes 문이었다. 문 수준에서 숙성 전 된장의 군집분포를 보면 Firmicutes 문 비율이 99.85%로 메주와 비슷한 수준이었다. 그러나 종 수준의 군집구조에서는 메주에서 32.54%의 가장 높은 군집빈도를 보였던 Bacillus siamensis는 0.1%로 거의 사라진 반면 B. amyloliquefaciens가 63.64%로 가장 높은 우점종이 되었다. 숙성 후 된장의 세균군집구조를 보면 숙성 전에 비해 Bacillus 비율이 증가되었으며 이들 중 군집의 상대밀도가 가장 높았던 우점종은 B. amyloliquefaciens (67.3%)였고, 5위까지 모두 Bacillus 종들(전체 군집분포의 92.2%)이 차지했다. 또한 메주 내 상위 11 위까지 우점을 이루던 세균 종들 중 10종이 숙성 후 된장에서도 우점종을 형성하여, 메주 미생물들이 숙성 후 된장 발효까지 영향을 준다는 것을 보였다. 이 결과들로부터 전통 장류에서 발효 주 세균은 Bacillus 종이며 이들은 기본적으로 볏짚으로부터 기원되어 메주에서 우점종을 형성한 것으로 추정되었다. 따라서 풍미와 위생성이 동시에 요구되는 전통 장류의 제조를 위해서는 볏짚 표면에 이 기능을 가진 Bacillus 종들의 군집 분포가 필요할 것으로 예상되었다.

  • 토양 유기물 관리는 골프장 그린 관리 중 핵심적인 요소이다. 골프장 그린의 유기물에 대한 지속적인 관리를 연구하는 중요한 프로젝트의 일환으로서, 우리는 동일한 근권부 조성과 관리 하에서 유지되고 있는 서로 다른 조성 시기의 그린들에서 토양 유기물의 상태를 비교하였다. 그리고 그 토양 미생물 활성, 잔디 분얼경수, 용적밀도, 수분함량, pH, EC, 그리고 총질소를 측정하였다. 토심 0${\sim}$5cm에서 토양 유기물 집적은 그린들 간에 유의차를 보이지 않았다. 토심 5cm 이하에서 SOM은 그린들 간에 강한 유의차를 보였고, 경과 연수와 정(+)의 상관을 가졌고 토심과 음(-)의 상관을 가졌다. 토심 5${\sim}$25cm 단층부에서는 시간 경과와 토섬에 따른 SOM의 집적을 예측하기 위해서 회귀 분석한 결과에서 그린의 경과 연수가 증가함에 따라서 유기물 함량이 0.061% year$^{-1}$로 증가하고, 토심이 깊어질수록 유기물 함량이 0.079% cm$^{-1}$로 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 경과 연도와 토심에 따른 토양 미생물 활성이 탈수소효소 검정을 이용하여 측정되었다. 결과는 모든 그린들에서 토심에 따라서 급격한 감소를 보였다. 토심 5cm 이하에서 토양 미생물 활성은 그린툴 간에 유의차가 없음을 보였다. 집적된 토심 5cm 이하의 SOM은 장기적으로 분해에 대하여 강한 저항성을 가지는 것으로 보인다. 그린 조성 후 5년부터 용적밀도는 유의성 있는 변화를 나타내지 않았다. 수분함량, Ee, 그리고 총질소는 SOM과 유의성 있는 상관을 가지고 있었다. pH는 시간이 경과하며 낮아졌는데, 이것은 SOM 집적에 영향을 미칠 것이다. 유기물 집적은 pH 저하, 미생물 활성 감소 토양 유기물의 분해 저항성 증가 등에 주요하게 영향을 받았지만, 수분 함량, EC, 총질소에 의한 영향은 분명하지 않았다.
