The effect of polyethylene film(PE) packaging of golden mushroom wrapped with Korean paper containing 20% mica powder on the changes in weight, color, texture, PPO activity, number of total microbe(TM) and sensory quality during storage at 10℃ were investigated. The experiments were divided to 3 groups(control; only PE packaging, KP; PE packaging wrapped with Korean paper up and down of the sample, KPM; PE packaging with Korean paper containing 20% mica powder up and down of the sample). The weight of the mushroom in the KPM was the lowest until 9 days-storage, but the weight was the highest at 15 days-storage, showing 12.5% higher against the initial weight. L* values of the mushrooms in the control and KP treatment were decreased, but the value in the KPM treatment was maintained as the same of the initial value during storage. The increasing rate of a* and b* values in the all plots during storage was the lowest in KPM and in order of KPM

Two similar microbial fungicides (termed as MA and MB) developed in a Korean biopesticide company were analyzed and compared each other in their biocontrol activities against the phytophthora blight of chili pepper caused by Phytophthora capsici. MA and MB contained the microbe Paenibacillus polymyxa and Bacillus subtilis, respectively, with concentrations over those posted on the microbial products. In comparison of the isolated microbes (termed as MAP from MA and MBB from MB) in the antagonistic activities against P. capsici was effective, prominently against zoospore germination, while MBB only significantly inhibited the mycelia growth of the pathogen. Some effectiveness of MAP and MBB was noted in the inhibition of zoosporangium formation and zoospore release from zoosporangia; however, no such large difference between MAP and MBB was noted. In a pot experiment, MA reduced the severity of the phytophthora blight more than MB, suggesting that the disease control efficacy would be more attributable to the inhibition of zoospore germination than mycelia growth of P. capsici. These results also suggest that the similar microbes MA and MB targeting different points in the life cycle of the pathogen differ in the disease control efficacies. Therefore, to develop microbial fungicides it is required to examine the targeting points in the pathogen's life cycle as well as the action mode of antagonistic microorganisms.

Plant genome analyses, including Arabidopsis thaliana showed a large gene family of plant receptor kinases with various extracellular ligand-binding domain. Now intensively studies to understand physiological and cellular functions for higher plant receptor kinases in diverse and complex biological processes including plant growth, development, ligands perception including steroid hormone and plant-microbe interactions. Brassinosteroids (BRs) as a one of well know steroid hormone are plant growth hormones that control biomass accumulation and also tolerance to many biotic and abiotic stress conditions and hence are of relevance to agriculture. BRI1 receptor kinase, which is localized in plasma membrane in the cell sense BRs and it bind to a receptor protein known as BRASSINOSTEROID INSENSITIVE 1 (BRI1). Recently, we reported that BRI1 and its co-receptor, BRI1-ASSOCIATED KINASE (BAK1) autophosphorylated on tyrosine residue (s) in vitro and in vivo and thus are dual-specificity kinases. Other plant receptor kinases are also phosphorylated on tyrosine residue (s). Post-translational modifications (PTMs) can be studied by altering the residue modified by directed mutagenesis to mimic the modified state or to prevent the modification. These approaches are useful to not only characterize the regulatory role of a given modification, but may also provide opportunities for plant improvement.

This study was conducted to evaluate the degradation characteristics of waste cigarette filters under 0, 5, 10, and 15cm in depth from soil surface by environmental conditions. Weather was the most important factor during degradation of waste cigarette filters in this study. Bulking of cellulose acetate filaments exposed on soil surface was observed after 2 months, but the form of filter was kept up after 12 months. The treated cigarette filters in soil landfill revealed a little different degradation pattern at each soil landfill depth, The sample in 5cm depth of soil was more degraded then other site. A fluffy appearance of cellulose acetate filaments in the control filter rods was also developed more strongly in soil landfill then on soil surface. From the observation of waste cigarette filters by scanning electron microscopy, much degradation of the fiber of waste cigarette filters could be ascertained in soil landfill. The weight of waste cigarette filters under 5cm from soil surface was reduced about 50%, and the tensile strength of the samples in soil surface and under 5cm from soil surface were reduced 66.0% and 92.4%, respectively. The microbial experiment date that the viable cell number in microbial population and cellulolytic microorganisms showed the maximum values under 5cm from soil surface, suggest that microorganisms in soil play an important roll in the degradation of acetate cigarette filters.

The human microbiome is known to play an essential role in influencing host health. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have also been reported to act on a variety of signaling pathways, distally transport cellular components such as proteins, lipids, and nucleic acid, and have immunomodulatory effects. Here we shall review the current understanding of the intersectionality of the human microbiome and EVs in the emerging field of microbiota-derived EVs and their pharmacological potential. Microbes secrete several classes of EVs: outer membrane vesicles (OMVs), membrane vesicles (MVs), and apoptotic bodies. EV biogenesis is unique to each cell and regulated by sophisticated signaling pathways. EVs are primarily composed of lipids, proteins, nucleic acids, and recent evidence suggests they may also carry metabolites. These components interact with host cells and control various cellular processes by transferring their constituents. The pharmacological potential of microbiome-derived EVs as vaccine candidates, biomarkers, and a smart drug delivery system is a promising area of future research. Therefore, it is necessary to elucidate in detail the mechanisms of microbiome-derived EV action in host health in a multi-disciplinary manner.

Rapid development of next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology is available to study microbes in genomic level. This NGS has been widely used in DNA/RNA sequencing for genome sequencing, metagenomics, and transcriptomics. The food microbiology area could be categorized into three groups. Food microbes including probiotics and food-borne pathogens are studied in genomic level using NGS for microbial genomics. While food fermentation or food spoilage are more complicated, their genomic study needs to be done with metagenomics using NGS for compositional analysis. Furthermore, because microbial response in food environments are also important to understand their roles in food fermentation or spoilage, pattern analysis of RNA expression in the specific food microbe is conducted using RNA-Seq. These microbial genomics, metagenomics, and transcriptomics for food fermentation and spoilage would extend our knowledge on effective utilization of fermenting bacteria for health promotion as well as efficient control of food-borne pathogens for food safety.

Soybean is an important source of protein and for a wide range of agricultural, food, and industrial applications. Soybean is being affected by Xanthomonas citri pv. glycines, a causal pathogen of bacterial pustule disease, result in a reduction in yield and quality. Diverse microbial communities of plants are involved in various plant stresses is known. Therefore, we designed to investigate the microbial community differentiation depending on the infection of X. citri pv. glycines. The microbial community's abundance, diversity, and similarity showed a difference between infected and non-infected soybean. Microbiota community analysis, excluding X. citri pv. glycines, revealed that Pseudomonas spp. would increase the population of the infected soybean. Results of DESeq analyses suggested that energy metabolism, secondary metabolite, and TCA cycle metabolism were actively diverse in the non-infected soybeans. Additionally, Streptomyces bacillaris S8, an endophyte microbiota member, was nominated as a key microbe in the healthy soybeans. Genome analysis of S. bacillaris S8 presented that salinomycin may be the critical antibacterial metabolite. Our findings on the composition of soybean microbiota communities and the key strain information will contribute to developing biological control strategies against X. citri pv. glycines.

Irisodium phosphate 12 hydrate와 citric acid monohydrate의 혼합액은 유리구슬(${\phi}7mm$)에 부착된 Streptococcus mutans (KCTC 3065)와 Streptococcus mitis (KCTC 3556) 및 Streptococcus salivarius (KCTC 3960)에 대하여 강한 항 부각효과를 보였다. 각 사슬알균 종들은 각각 3개의 유리구슬들이 들어있는 BHI 액체배지에서 18시간 흔들 배양되었다. 배양 후, 3개의 짧은 핀들이 부착된 핀셋을 사용하여 유리구슬들을 꺼낸 다음, 유리구슬에 맺힌 균액을 제거하기 위하여 생리식염수로 가볍게 세척하였다. 각 균주당 3개의 유리구슬들을 시약들이 들어있는 시험관에 넣고 vortex mixer로 10분씩 와동(渦動)하였다. 칫솔질과 유사한 효과를 얻기 위해 각 시험관들에 물에 젖지 않는 기름종이 조각들을 40 mg씩 넣었다. 구강 내 사슬알균 종이 아닌 Streptococcus agalactiae는 5분간 와동(渦動)하였다. 각 시험관에서 취한 샘플들을 10배 계단 희석하여 BBH 한천 배지와 혼합하고 배양한 다음, 집락수를 계수하였다. 사슬알균 종 당실험을 3번 반복하였고, 시약에 의해 탈부착된 균수를 평균하여 생리식염수대조군의 평균으로 나누어 그 배수를 탈부착 효과로 계산하였다. treptococcus mutans에 대하여 구연산-제3인산나트륨-식염수혼합액(이하 CTS, pH 6.0)의 탈부착 효과는 생리식염수 대조군에 비해서 평균 12.5배였으며, 제3인산나트륨-식염수 혼합액(이하 TS, pH 8.4)은 평균 7.5배였고, 구연산-식염수 혼합액(이하 CS, pH 4.6)은 6.0배였다. Streptococcus salivarius에 대해서 CTS는 7.2배, TS는 2.6배, CS는 2.8배였다. Streptococcus mitis에 대해서 CTS는 2.4배였고, TS는 3.4배였으나 CS는 0.3배로 탈부착 효과가 없었다. 구강 내 사슬알균 종이 아닌 Streptococcus agalactiae에 대해서 CTS는 0.7배, TS는 0.6배, CS는 0.6배로 3가지 시약에 대하여 탈부착 효과가 전혀 없었다. 이러한 결과들은 충치와 아급성 심내막염의 원인균인 구강 내 Streptococcus mutans, Streptococcus salivarius 및 Streptococcus mitis가 CTS 혼합물에 의해서 구강으로부터 쉽게 제거될 수 있음을 의미한다. 따라서 이러한 결과를 응용하면 새로운 개념의 치약을 개발할 수 있을 것으로 생각되며, 충치의 예방 및 발치 후 아급성 심내막염의 예방에 도움이 될 것으로 사료된다.
