  • The study was performed to investigated the excellent microbial anticaries substance which is more effective than the chlorohexidine in the dental caries treatment. For the screening of alkaliphilic microorganism, more than 1200 bacterial strains were isolated from sea soil sample. A typ-ical strain which produced the most excellent antimicrobial substance was selected. The strain was identified novel alkalophilic Bacillus sp. through the results of morphological, biochemical and chemotaxonomical characteristics and 16S rDNA sequencing and designated as Bacillus alkalophilshaggy JY-827.

  • Klebsiella pneumoniae is a gram-negative bacterium that is known for causing infection in nosocomial settings. As reported by the World Health Organization, carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae, a category that includes K. pneumoniae, are classified as an urgent threat, and the greatest concern is that these bacterial pathogens may acquire genetic traits that make them resistant towards antibiotics. The last class of antibiotics, carbapenems, are not able to combat these bacterial pathogens, allowing them to clonally expand antibiotic-resistant strains. Most antibiotics target essential pathways of bacterial cells; however, these targets are no longer susceptible to antibiotics. Hence, in our study, we focused on a hypothetical protein in K. pneumoniae that contains a DNA methylation protein domain, suggesting a new potential site as a drug target. DNA methylation regulates the attenuation of bacterial virulence. We integrated computational-aided drug design by using a bioinformatics approach to perform subtractive genomics, virtual screening, and fingerprint similarity search. We identified a new potential drug, koenimbine, which could be a novel antibiotic.

  • This paper presents the complete genome sequence of a novel marine actinomycete, Streptomyces sp. MMBL 11-1. The genome of Streptomyces sp. MMBL 11-1 was obtained through next-generation sequencing using the PacBio Sequel system and Illumina platform provided by Macrogen, Korea. The assembled genome consists of five contigs, with a total length of 8,496,900 bp and a G+C content of 71.6%. The genome harbors multiple biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) associated with producing microbial natural products (MNPs). The comprehensive genomic information of this type of strain will serve as a valuable resource for identifying other marine actinomycetes strains.

  • A series of new $N^7$-tetrazolo[5,1-f ]-1,2,4-triazin-8-(7H)-one derivatives 4-16 were designed and synthesized from 3 with different reagents. The newly prepared compounds were characterized by spectral data and screened for their antimicrobial activities against various bacteria and fungi strains.

  • Fungicide treatment is the most important method for the control of plant diseases caused by phytopathogenic fungi. But fungicide resistant strains have appeared in many phytopathogenic fungi. Until now, molecular mechanisms of fungicide resistance such as mutation of target protein, overproduction of target enzyme and detoxification of fungicide have been designated. Recently, it was demonstrated that active efflux of fungicides mediated by ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters also contributes to fungicide resistance in several filamentous fungi, such as Aspergillus nidulans, Penicillium digitatum and Botrytis cinerea.(중략)

  • Tylosin biosynthesis is controlled in cascade fashion by multiple transcriptional regulators, acting positively or negatively, in conjunction with a signalling ligand that acts as a classical inducer. The roles of regulatory gene products have been characterized by a combination of gene expression analysis and fermentation studies, using engineered strains of S. fradiae in which specific genes were inactivated or overexpressed. Among various novel features of the regulatory model, involvement of the signalling ligand is not essential for tylosin biosynthesis.
