This study investigated the dynamics associated with prolonged ensiling and aerobic deterioration of whole crop corn (WCC) silages and total mixed ration (TMR) silages containing WCC (C-TMR silages) to clarify the differences that account for the enhanced aerobic stability of TMR silages. Laboratory-scale barrel silos were randomly opened after 7, 14, 28, and 56 d of ensiling and were subjected to analyses of fermentation quality, microbial and temperature dynamics during aerobic exposure. WCC and C-TMR silages were both well preserved and microorganisms were inhibited with prolonged ensiling, including lactic acid bacteria. Yeast were inhibited to below the detection limit of 500 cfu/g fresh matter within 28 d of ensiling. Aerobic stability of both silages was enhanced with prolonged ensiling, whereas C-TMR silages were more aerobically stable than WCC silages for the same ensiling period. Besides the high moisture content, the weak aerobic stability of WCC silage is likely attributable to the higher lactic acid content and yeast count, which result from the high water-soluble carbohydrates content in WCC. After silo opening, yeast were the first to propagate and the increase in yeast levels is greater than that of other microorganisms in silages before deterioration. Besides, increased levels of aerobic bacteria were also detected before heating of WCC silages. The temperature dynamics also indicated that yeast are closely associated with the onset of the aerobic deterioration of C-TMR silage, whereas for WCC silages, besides yeast, aerobic bacteria also function in the aerobic deterioration. Therefore, the inclusion of WCC might contribute to the survival of yeast during ensiling but not influence the role of yeast in deterioration of C-TMR silages.

Operation characteristics of the sequencing batch reactor (SBR) process with electro-flotation (EF) as a solid liquid separation method (EF-SBR) were investigated. EF-SBR process showed excellent solid-liquid separation performance which enabled to separate biosolids from liquid phase within 30 min and to extend cyclic reaction time. Although influent organic loading rate was increased stepwise from 5 to 15 g COD/day, food to microorganisms (F/M) ratio could be maintained about 0.3 g COD/g VSS/day in EF-SBR because biomass concentration could be easily controlled at desired level by EF. However, it was impossible to increase biomass concentration at the same level in control SBR (C-SBR) process because solid-liquid separation by gravity settling showed a limitation at higher mixed liquor suspended solids (MLSS) concentration with 60 min of settling time. Total chemical oxygen demand (TCOD) removal efficiency of EF-SBR process was not decreased although influent organic loading rate became 3 times higher than initial value. However, it was seriously deteriorated in C-SBR process after increasing the rate over 10 g COD/day, which was accounted for insufficient organic removal by relatively higher food to microorganisms (F/M) ratio as well as biosolids wash-out by a limitation of gravity sedimentation.

As a result of screening the medicinal herbs which selectively control human intestinal microflora, water extract of Akebia quinata Decaisne was proved to have a strong inhibitory activity against the growth of Clostridium pefringens, a major harmful intestinal bacterium. The anti-bacte-rial activity was stable under the thermal treatment at 100$\circ$C for 120 min and in a range of pH 1 to 11. In addition, the water extract of Akebia quinata Decaisne showed the antibacterial activities against five different strains of Clostridia including C. perfringens. On the contrary, the extract did not inhibit the growths of Bifidobacterium, Lactobacillus, Escherichia coli, Enterococcus faecalis. The extract, however, suppressed markedly the growth of Bacteroides fragilis and Staphylococcus aureus in vitro. Alike in the mixed culture inoculated with human feces as starter, in vivo tests using rats showed that the extract tends to increase the numbers of Bifidobacteria and Lactobacilli in the intestinal microflora of rats, whereas those of Clostridia were attenuated.

Major hazards existed in slaughterhouse are pathogenic microorganisms originated from intestinal microflora of slaughtered animals. This study was intended for the identification of microbial contamination sources during pork slaughtering in small plants. Total aerobic bacteria, Coliform group, Salmonella spp, Listeria monocytogenes, and Campylobacter jejuni/coli were isolated from the surface sample of pork carcasses. Contamination level among different sampling points of ham, belly and neck did not showed statistical differences. Therefore, the mixed sampling from belly and neck of carcass could be effective for microbiological monitoring. Isolation rates of pathogenic microorganisms showed Salmonella spp 20.9%, Listeria monocytogenes 10.5%, and Campylobacter jejuni/coli 8.1% from 296 sampling points. High prevalence rate of Salmonella spp indicated that the contamination of intestinal microflora occurred due to unsanitary processing control, which required HACCP system in small plants. It was recommended that the prerequisite program should be a key factor for a successful HACCP system implementation especially in small size slaughterhouse.

대한제당(주) 중앙연구소에서 기능성 감미료로서 개발한 자일로올리고당이 장내세균의 생장에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위하여 in vitro실험을 하였다. 탄소원 이용능을 알아보기 위하여 당이용능검색배지인 m-PYF medium에 탄소원으로서 자일로올리고당과 시판중인 올리고당인 이소말토올리고당과 프럭토올리고당, sucrose를 각각 0.5%(w/v) 첨가한 후 여러 장내 세균을 각각 배양하였다. 장내유익균인 Bifidobacterium bifidum, Bifidobacterium infantis, Bifidobacterium longum, Lactobacillus casei 및 Lactobacillus acidophilus는 다른 탄소원보다 자일로올리고당이 첨가된 배지에서 훨씬 더 잘 생장하였으나, Clostridium perfringens, Bacteroides fragilis, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus와 Salmonella typhumurium 등 장내 유해균은 생장이 저해되었다 또한, 이들 세균을 혼합배양한 경우에도 장내 유익균의 생균수는 증가하였고, 유해균은 상대적으로 낮은 농도로 억제되었다. 충치를 유발하는 원인 균주인 Strepto-coccus mutans를 자일로올리고당이 첨가된 m-PYF medium에서 배양하였을 때 배양액의 pH가 5.0이상으로 유지되었다. 이러한 결과들을 볼 때 자일로올리고당은 인체의 장내 유익균에만 선택적으로 작용하여 생장을 증진시킬 뿐 아니라, S. mutans의 생장시 산 생성을 억제함으로써 충치 발생을 예방할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

The widespread occurrence of drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis places importance on the detection of TB (tuberculosis) drug susceptibility. Conventional drug susceptibility testing (DST) is a lengthy process. We developed a rapid enzymatic color-reaction-based biochip assay. The process included asymmetric multiplex PCR/templex PCR, biochip hybridization, and an enzymatic color reaction, with specific software for data operating. Templex PCR (tem-PCR) was applied to avoid interference between different primers in conventional multiplex-PCR. We applied this assay to 276 clinical specimens (including 27 sputum, 4 alveolar lavage fluid, 2 pleural effusion, and 243 culture isolate specimens; 40 of the 276 were non-tuberculosis mycobacteria specimens and 236 were M. tuberculosis specimens). The testing process took 4.5 h. A sensitivity of 50 copies per PCR was achieved, while the sensitivity was 500 copies per PCR when tem-PCR was used. Allele sequences could be detected in mixed samples at a proportion of 10%. Detection results showed a concordance rate of 97.46% (230/236) in rifampicin resistance detection (sensitivity 95.40%, specificity 98.66%) and 96.19% (227/236) in isoniazid (sensitivity 93.59%, specificity 97.47%) detection with those of DST assay. Concordance rates of testing results for sputum, alveolar lavage fluid, and pleural effusion specimens were 100%. The assay provides a potential choice for TB diagnosis and treatment.

휘발성 훈증제인 cis-와 trans-1,3-D의 각각에 대한 분해력 향상은 몇몇 연구자들에 의해 이루어져왔다. 본 연구는 cis-와 trans-1,3-D에 대해 서로 다른 속도에서 각각의 분해력 증진과 미생물과의 관련성을 조사한 것으로, 미생물이 휘발성을 갖는 독성 유기화합물의 분해를 향상시키는 데 관여하고 있음이 관찰되었다. 1,3-D로 야외(field)처리되어 적응되어 왔던 토양으로부터, 1,3-D의 분해가 확인된 토양시료를 채취하여 1,3-D를 분해할 수 있는 혼합 배양세균을 분리하였다. 이렇게 분리된 혼합 배양세균은 cis-1,3-D보다는 trans-1,3-D를 더 빨리 분해 시켰으나, 미생물 성장을 위한 탄소원으로 cis-와 trans-1,3-D만이 제공되었을 때는 분해가 일어나지 않는 반면, 적절한 2차 탄소원들이 존재할 때에는 cis-와 trans-1,3-D를 분해시켰다. 따라서, cis-와 trans-1,3-D의 분해는 공동대사과정(cometabolism)인 것으로 판단된다. 두 이성질체는, 토양여과액(soil leachate), tryptone, tryptophan, alanine이 포함된 시료가 2차 탄소원으로 제공되었을 때에는 분해가 이루어졌으나, 고온고압하에서 멸균시킨 토양추출액(soil extract), glucose, yeast extract 및 indole이 포함된 시료가 2차 탄소원으로 제공되었을 때는 두 이성질체 모두를 분해시키지 못했다. 상업용 훈증제로 이용되는 cis-와 trans-1,3-D를 다른 속도로 개별적으로 분해하는 혼합 미생물군은 형태학적인 구별방법에 의해 4개의 독립된 순수 colony로 구성되어 있는 것으로 관찰되었다.

One of the main problems to constitute control method on biologically oriented wastewater purification processes, e.g. activated sludge process, sequential batch reactor, rotating bio-disk contactor, etc. is that it is hard to control the target component directly. For instance, while biochemical oxygen demand, suspended solids, and chemical oxygen demand are the key components to check the process performance, one may not control them directly since they are the results of microbial activities related to numerous physiochemical factors. Therefore controllers for bioprocess should be designed to make favorable condition for microorganisms´ living, e.g. dissolved oxygen level favorable, mixed liquor suspended solids concentration suitable ...
