  • Vibrio anguillarum is a gram-negative bacterium that causes vibriosis in approximately 80 different fish species. V. anguillarum produces several exotoxins are correlated with the pathogenesis of vibriosis. This study is focused on the composition of the outer membrane vesicle. Most of gram-negative bacteria produce outer membrane vesicle (OMV) during cell growth. OMV was formed from the outer membrane surface of cell and than released to extracellular environment. OMV consists of outer membrane lipids, outer membrane protein (OMP), LPS, and soluble periplasmic components. Also, they contain toxins, adhesions, and immunomodulatory. Many gram-negative bacteria were studied out forming OMV. In Vibrio sp., formation of OMV by electron microscopy has been reported from V. cholerae and V. parahaemolyticus. In present study, we isolated OMV from V. anguillarum and OMV protein was separated by SDS-PAGE. Magor band was sliced and analyzed by MALDI-TOF. The major protein band of 38kDa was identified as OmpU by MALDI-TOF MS analysis.

  • Glycosidase activities were tested from the grape berries, Vitis labruscana B. Takasumi. Among various glycosidases, $\alpha$-D-galactosidase was found to be the most active in the flesh and other glycosidases were considerably active in the order of the following: $\alpha$-D-mannosidase>$\alpha$-D-glucosidase>$\beta$-D-glucosidase>$\beta$-D-galactosidase. In the seeds, $\alpha$-D-glucosidase activity was the highest and other glycosidases such as $\alpha$-D-galactosidase, $\beta$-D-glucosidase, and $\beta$-D-galactosidase were still significantly active. The $\alpha$-D-galactosidase in the grape flesh was purified over 83-folds through salting-out with $(NH_4)_2SO_4$ and a series of chromatographies employing Sephadex G-50, Octyl-Sepharose, Q-Sepha- rose, and Biogel P-100. The enzyme was a monomer of 45 kDs as determined through SDS-PAGE and Sephacryl S-200 chromatography. The purified enzyme showed a preference of $\alpha$-D-galactose to $\beta$-D-galactose as a substrate about 5.4 times. Sulfhydryl specific reagents such as N-ethylmaleimide and iodoacetamide significantly inhibited the enzyme activity to the extents of 48 and 52% of its initial activity, respectively. The optimumpH range of $\alpha$-D-galactosidase was around 6.5-7.0. The enzyme activity increased by 46% in the presence of 1mM $Fe^{2+}$.

  • These experiments were carried out to investigate the effects of electrical stimulation(ES) and delayed chilling (DC) on the quality characteristics of Hanwoo beef. The left half carcass was treated with ES(550V, 90sec)within postmortem 30min. The electrical stimulated half carcass was subjected to chilling at 16$^{\circ}C$ for 24hr, and then stored at 2$\pm$2$^{\circ}C$ for 15days (ESDC). The right half carcass was stored at 2$\pm$2$^{\circ}C$ for 15 days (NES). ESDC showed a rapid pH fall and tended to reach to pH5.54 at postmortem 2 hrs. But, there was no consistent effect of electrical stimulation and delayed chilling on meat color, cooking loss and water holding capacity. Myofibril fragmentation index was higher than that of NES during storage. ESDC showed lower shear force value and strength consistently than NES. SDS-PAGE band patterns of myofibrils showed the rapid breakdown of troponin T and troponin I band in ESDC, compared with NES, and revealed the specific band below myosin light chain-2 pattern in ESDC.

  • Employers are realizing that workplaces have an immense impact on productivity. And, because people typically represent about 90% of a company's costs, even a slight improvement in productivity hits the bottom-line in a very big way. The focus is shifting away from saving money by reducing space needs or cutting energy requirements, and moving toward making the workplace friendlier and healthier. What is a healthy workplace, exactly? The answer should be clear by now. Mountains of research have expounded on this very topic, and then news outlets cover the latest discoveres ad infinitum. The problem is, research is rather dense, while the news isn't comprehensive. Office managers trying to improve workplace wellness want neither a 55-page report nor a half dozen articles to convince their landlord that their space can do better. Recognizing this gap, Harvard researchers have released a concise-yet-complete list of healthy building features. Here, we're sharing these nine features with a few insights of our own on the value of being healthy and productive. Find out: ${\bullet}$ What makes a healthy building and why is it so important ${\bullet}$ How to improve the health of your own office ${\bullet}$ What happens for your people and your bottom line when you make health a priority.

  • This study was carried out to isolate and characterize the Lactobacillus plantarum with bile salt deconjugation activity that was isolated from Kimchi. Some isolates were selected and identified as L. plantarum by 16S rRNA gene sequence and sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) analysis of whole cell protein patterns. They were assayed to determine their capacities to express bile salt hydrolase (BSH) activity. Among the identified strains, L. plantarum CIB 001 showed the highest level of BSH activity. Then, resistance to gastric acidity and bile condition were analyzed for further characterization. This strain was able to maintain viability for 1h at pH 2.0 and to survive in a MRS (deMan, Rogosa, and Sharpe) broth with 1.0% of bile acids. L. plantarum CIB 001 would potentially be useful in the food industry as probiotics.

  • HTML pages in the web change at any time. It could cause to decrease the functionality of meta-search engines which provide users with integrated results of search engines. To solve this problem, we propose an HTML pages modification detector. It utilities information of element positions in HTML pages and the modified Jaak Vilo algorithm. The HTML page modification detector uses patterns that represent the structure of HTML expressions occurring repeatedly in HTML pages. An experiment is carried out to verify the correctness of the modification detector.
