국내 연안의 어패류, 해구 및 환자 등으로부터 Vibrio vulnificus를 분리동정하여 생화학적 성상, 생장조건, 혈천형, 약제 감수성 시험 등 세균학적 특성을 밝혔다. V. vulnificus 균의 생화학적 성상은 유당을 발효(95%)하고 서당은 발효 (4%)않은 균주가 대부분이었으며, ornithine 발효능, gelatine 액화능, mannitol 분해능 등이 다른 연구자들과 동일한 결롸를 나타내지 않았다. 따라서 이들 성상이 V. vulnivicus 동정에 그리 유용하지 않다. o 혈청형은 자연계 분리균주의 경우 o2 혈청형이 제일 많았고 (24%) 환자 분리균주의 경우 04 균(42%)이 제일 많았다. V. vulnificus 의 최적 생상조건은 염농도는 306%였고, 온도는 25-35.deg.C, pH는 8로 나타났다. V. vulnificus균은 chloramphenicol, erythromycin, tetracycline, ampicilin 에 높은 감수성을 지니고 있었고 gentamycin 에 대하여는 내성을 가진 것으로 나타났으며, 자연계 분리균주가 환자 분리균주보다 이들 항생제에 더 높은 감수성을 지니고 있었다. chelating agent EDTA가 V. vulnificus에 대하여 생장억제효과가 있음이 밝혀졌으나 치사적으로 작용치는 않았다.

Objectives Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a human pathogen and a major cause of hospital-acquired infections. New antibacterial agents that have not been compromised by bacterial resistance are needed to treat MRSA-related infections. In this study, we investigated the antimicrobial activity ofethanol extract of Haedokgeumhwa-san (HGH) which prescription is composed of korean medicine against MRSA. Methods The antibacterial activity of HGH extract was evaluated against MRSA strains by using the Disc diffusion method, broth microdilution method (minimal inhibitory concentration; MIC), checkerboard dilution test, and time-kill test; its mechanism of action was investigated by bacteriolysis, detergent or ATPase inhibitors. The checkerboard dilution test was used to examined synergistic effect of ampicillin, oxacillin, ciprofloxacin, vancomycin, gentamicin and norfloxacin in combination with HGH ethanol extract. A time-kill assay was performed a survival curve which was obtained by plotting viable colony counts depending on time on bacterial growth. Results The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of ethanol extract (HGH) ranged from 1,000 to $2,000{\mu}g/mL$ against all the tested bacterial strains, respectively. We are able to confirm that HGH extract has potentially strong antibacterial activity. In the checkerboard dilution test, fractional inhibitory concentration index of HGH in combination with antibiotics indicated synergy or partial synergism against S. aureus. A time-kill study showed that the growth of the tested bacteria was considerably inhibited after 8 hr of treatment with the combination of HGH with selected antibiotics. For measurement of cell membrane permeability, HGH $250{\sim}1,000{\mu}g/mL$ along with concentration of Triton X-100 (TX) and Tris-(hydroxymethyl) aminomethane (Tris) were used. In the other hand, N,N-dicyclohexylcarbodimide (DCCD) and Sodium azide ($NaN_3$) was used as an inhibitor of ATPase. TX, Tris, DCCD and $NaN_3$ cooperation against S. aureus showed synergistic action. Accordingly, antimicrobial activity of HGH was affected by cell membrane and inhibitor of ATPase. Conclusions These results suggest that Haedokgeumhwa-san extract has antibacterial activity, and that HGH extract offers a potential as a natural antibiotic against MRSA.

Objective: Effects of newly isolated Lactobacillus plantarum on the fermentation and chemical composition of fresh rice straw silage was evaluated in this study. Methods: Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) from good crop silage were screened by growing them in MRS broth and a minimal medium with low carbohydrate content. Selected LAB (LAB 1821) were Gram-positive, rods, catalase negative, and were identified to be Lactobacillus plantarum based on their biochemical characteristics and a 16S rRNA analysis. Fresh rice straw was ensiled with two isolated LAB (1821 and 1841), two commercial inoculants (HM/F and P1132) and no additive as a control. Results: After 2 months of storage at ambient temperature, rice straw silages treated with additives were well-preserved, the pH values and butyric and acetic acid contents were lower, and the lactic acid content and lactic/acetic acid ratio were higher than those in the control (p<0.05). Acidity (pH) was lowest, and lactic acid highest, in 1821-treated silage (p<0.05). The $NH_3-N$ content decreased significantly in inoculant-treated silage (p<0.05) and the $NH_3-N$ content in 1821-treated silage was lowest among the treatments. The dry matter (DM) content of the control silage was lower than that of fresh rice straw (p<0.05), while that of the 1841- and p1174-inoculant-treated silages was significantly higher than that of HM/F-treated silage. Microbial additives did not have any significant (p>0.05) effect on acid detergent fiber or neutral detergent fiber contents. Crude protein (CP) content and in vitro DM digestibility (IVDMD) increased after inoculation of LAB 1821 (p<0.05). Conclusion: LAB 1821 increased the CP, IVDMD, lactic acid content and ratio of lactic acid to acetic acid in rice straw silage and decreased the pH, acetic acid, $NH_3-N$, and butyric acid contents. Therefore, adding LAB 1821 improved the fermentation quality and feed value of rice straw silage.

고추 역병이 발병된 토양 시료에서 길항미생물을 선발 및 개량하여 다시 현장에 적용했을 때 방제능 및 적응력이 높은 생물 방제균을 선발하고자 총 300여점의 경북 북부지역의 토양시료로부터 길항능이 우수한 균주를 분리하였으며, 이들을 대상으로 고추 역병균에 대한 항진균력이 가장 우수한 균주 AM-651을 최종 선발하였다. 분리균주 AM-651은 생리생화학적 특성과 16S rDNA sequencing의 방법을 이용하여 동정한 결과 Bacillus sp.로 동정되었다. 항진균성 활성물질의 생산을 위한 배지의 최적조건은 Davis minimal media를 변형하여 배양하였을 경우 pH 7, 온도 $30^{\circ}C$ 조건에서 고추 역병균에 대한 항진균 활성이 높았으며, 탄소원으로는 0.5% glucose, 질소원으로는 0.1% $(NH_4)_2SO_4$, 무기염으로는 0.7% $K_2HPO_4$를 첨가하였을 때 가장 높은 활성을 보였다 선발된 Bacillus sp. AM-651 균주를 시간대별로 배양 후 항진균력을 측정 해 본 결과 48시간 배양액에서 고추 역병균에 대한 억제율이 가장 높았다. 또한, Bacillus sp. AM-651의 배양액은 pH와 온도의 변화에서 안정된 활성을 보였다. Bacillus sp. AM-651은 고추 역병 외에도 B. sorokiniana, B. cinerea, R. solani 등에 대하여 항진균 활성이 높았고, 다른 식물성 병원균에 대해서도 비교적 항진균 활성이 높게 나타났다. 열처리한 Bacillus sp. AM-651 배양상등액은 처리전과 비슷한 항진균 활성을 가지므로 열에 안정한 물질인 것으로 추측되었다.

Poly-P has been used to prevent decomposition of foods and has been shown to have inhibitory effect on the growth of gram positive bacteria. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of poly-P on the growth of Porphyromonas endodontalis, a gram negative obligate anaerobic rod, endodontopathic bacterium. P. endodontalis ATCC 35406 was in BHI broth containing hemin and vitamin K with or without poly-P. Inhibitory effect of each poly-P which was added at the beginning(lag phase) or during(exponential phase) the culture, MIC(minimum inhibitory concentration) was determined by measuring the optical density of the bacterial cell at 540nm. Viable cell counts were measured to determined whether poly-P has a bactericidal effect. Leakage of intracellular nucleotides from P. endodontalis was determined at 260nm and morphological change of P. endodontalis was observed under the TEM(transmission electron microscope). Binding of 32P-labeled poly-P to P. endodontalis was examined. SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and zymography were performed to observe the changes in protein and enzyme profiles of P. endodontalis, respectively. The results from this study were as follows : 1. The minimal inhibitory concentration(MIC) of poly-P to P. endodontalis appeared to be 0.04~0.05%. 2. Poly-P added to the P. endodontalis culture during the exponential phase of P. endodontalis was as much effective as poly-P added at the begining of the culture, suggesting that the antibacterial effect of poly-P is not much dependent on the initial inoculum size of P. endodontalis. 3. Poly-P are bactericidal to P. endodontalis, demonstrating the decrease of the viable cell counts. 4. Intracellular nucleotide release from the P. endodontalis, was not increased in the presence of poly-P and was not reversed by the addition of divalent cations like $Ca^{2+}$ and $Mg^{2-}$. 5. Under the TEM, it was observed that fine electro-dense materials were prominent in the poly-P grown P. endodontalis, appearing locally in the cell, and the materials were more abundant and more dispersed in the cell as the incubation time with poly-P increased. In addition, highly electron dense granules accumulated in many poly-P grown cells, most of which were atypical in their shape. 6. Binding of 32P-labeled poly-P to P. endodontalis appeared to be 32.8 and 45.5 and 53.4% at 30 minutes, 1 hours and 2 hours, respectively. 7. In the presence of poly-P. the synthesis of proteins with apparent molecular masses of 25, 27, 35, 45 was lost or drastically decreased whereas expression of a protein with an apparent molecular mass of 75 was elevated. 8. Proteolytic activity of P. endodontalis was decreased by poly-P. The overall results suggest that use of poly-P may affect the growth of P. endodontalis, and the anti-bacterial activity of poly-P seems largely bactericidal. Changes in shape, protein expression, and proteolytic activity of P. endodontalis by poly-P may be directly and indirectly attributed to the antibacterial effect of poly-P. Further studies will be needed to confirm the effect of poly-P.
