Mitis-salivarius sucrose bacitracin(MSB) medium is widely used in the selective isolation of mutans streptococci(MS), a designation for a group of oral cariogenic species. Recently, we have isolated three bacterial strains grown on MSB agar from human dental plaques. The three strains exhibited biochemical characteristics similar to those of the biotype IV of MS, with the exception that they manifested a positive reaction for arginine deaminase. The objective of this study was to identify and characterize these three clinical isolates. The bacteria were identified with biochemical tests as well as by 16S rDNA cloning and sequencing. In order to compare the antibiotics susceptibility of the clinical isolates with that of type strain, the minimum inhibitory concentrations of 9 antibiotics were determined using broth dilution assays. The results identified all of our three clinical isolates as Enterococcus faecalis. All E. faecalis strains were found to be susceptible to penicillin G, amoxicillin, augmentin, and vancomycin, but were resistant to ciprofloxacin, cefuroxim axetil, and clindamycin. Our findings indicate that E. faecalis is capable of growing on MSB agar, and suggest that the MSB medium be improved so that only MS should be recoverable on the medium, as originally devised for their selection.

A semiselective agar medium (XCO) was developed for the isolation of bacterial blight pathogen, Xanthomonas campestris pv. oryzae, from rice seed. The medium contained yeast extract 1.0 g, peptone 2.0 g, sucrose 5.0 g, sodium glutamate 1.0 g, FeSO4.7H2O 0.05 g, Fe.EDTA 1 mg, cephalexin 20 mg, Evan blue (0.1%) 1.5 ml, bromcresol purple (0.1%) 2.5ml, cycloheximide 100 mg and agar 15.0 g per liter. Colonies of X. c. pv. oryzae were 4~5 mm in diameter, smooth, round, blue (darker center) and convex after 6 days incubation at 28$^{\circ}C$. The recovery of 6 isolates of X. c. pv. oryzae on the XOC medium ranged from 81% to 120% (mean 98.2%) in comparison to Wakimoto's medium. The number of saprophytic bacteria from 10 rice seed lots on XCO medium was reduced to 70.4% of that on Wakimoto's medium. The recovery of X. c. pv. oryzae added to rice seed on XOC medium ranged from 67% to 87% (mean 75.6%) of that on Wakimoto's medium.

본 연구는 식품으로부터 Shigella spp.를 검출하기 위해서 현재 사용되고 있는 분리배지를 대상으로 분리 성능을 비교하였다. MAC, SSA, DCA, XLD, HEA와 CHROMagar 총 6개의 분리배지를 대상으로 비교하였다. 일반 Shigella spp. 에 대한 성장은 MAC에서 TSA와 비슷한 수준 균수를 보였고 DCA에서 낮은 균수로 측정되었다. 소고기, 돼지고기, 새우를 대상으로 한 회수실험은 S. sonnei가 CHROMagar에서 성장이 유의적으로 높았으며(p<0.05) 양상추와 양배추에서는 S. sonnei가 SSA에서의 성장이 유의적으로 높게 나타났다(p<0.05). 식품 상재균은 소고기, 새우, 양배추에서 전체적으로 낮은 수준으로 측정되었으나 각 배지에서 유의적 차이는 없었다(p>0.05). 열 스트레스를 받은 S. sonnei는 MAC, SSA에서만 성장하였다. Enterobacteriaceae를 대상으로 한 선택성 측정 결과 HEA가 가장 높은 선택성을 나타내었다. Morganella spp.는 각 분리배지에서 Shigella spp.와 구분되지 못하였다. 실험에 사용된 배지는 각각의 조건에 따라 분리되는 특성이 상이하므로 식품에서 분리배지를 이용하여 Shigella spp.를 분리하고자 할 경우 분리 균의 상태에 따라 분리배지를 선택하여 사용하는 것이 바람직할 것으로 생각되었다.

Various pretreatment procedures and selective media were applied to assess the optimal conditions for the isolation of rare actinomycetes from soil. Pretreatment of wet-heating for 15 min at 70$^{\circ}C$ and phenol treatment of soil suspension were the most effective methods for the isolation of these microorganisms. Hair hydrolysate vitamin agar (HHVA) was the most suitable medium for the recovery of rare actinomycetes. Thirty-five rare actinomycete strains were chosen using selective isolation approaches, then morphological and chemical properties of the isolates were determined. The isolates belonged to one of the following genus, Micromonospora, Microbispora, Actinoplanes and Streptosporangium.

고효율 에타놀 생성 균주인 Zymomonas mobilis의 plasmid vector가 숙주세포 내에서 안정하게 유지되는지의 여부를 회분 및 연속배양 방법을 통하여 조사하였다. Z. mobilis 숙주세포는 전이된 plasmid의 크기와 배지의 조성에 따라 증식속도에 영향을 받음을 알 수 있었고 작은 크기의 plasmid를 비 선택성 (non-selective) 배지에서 배양한 경우 더 빠른 성장을 보였다. 또한 사용한 4종류의 plasmid vector 모두 숙주세포 내에서 30세대 이상에 걸쳐 93% 이상의 높은 안정성을 나타내면서 독립적으로 증식함이 확인되었다.

The strategy to incorporate [$^{15}$ N]-labeled amino acids were discussed. Instead of using specific auxotrophic strains for selective labeling, the prototrophic strain, BL2l(DE3), was used with a plasmid, pLysS, and found to be very effective for several amino acids including alanine, lysine, leucine, and threonine. Isoleucine, valine, glutamine, and tyrosine were also found to be effective despite some diffusion into other amino acids. Interesting result was obtained when [$^{15}$ N]-labeled glycine was tried: only glycines were labeled when amino acid mixture was added in the growth medium, and serines were co-labeled when amino acids were omitted. These results can be used as a guideline when selective labeling strategy is considered, and when the resulting data are interpreted.

Multilevel converters are being widely used in medium-voltage high-power applications including motor drive systems, utility power transmission, and distribution systems. Selective harmonic elimination (SHE) is a well-known modulation method to generate high quality output voltage waveforms. This paper presents a new simple practical method for generating a generalized five-level waveform without selected low order harmonics. This method is based on a phase-shifted expression for the SHE problem, which can analytically calculate the exact values of switching angles and the feasible modulation index range for three-level and five-level waveforms. The proposed method automatically determines the number of transitions between levels and generates proper output waveform without solving complex trigonometric equations. Due to the simplicity of the computational burden, the real-time implementation of the proposed algorithm can be performed by a simple processor. Simulation and experiment results verify the correctness and effectiveness of the proposed method.

A strain able to grow up m-toluate minimal medium has been isolated after selective enrichment and given the name T81X, which was later identified as pseudomonase putida according to its morphological and biochemical characteristics. After treatment with plasmied specific curing agent, mitomycin C, followed by replica plating on m-toluate and xylene minimal agar plate, T81Xstrain has been shown to harbour a curable plasmid relating to the m-toluate and xylene metabolism. Spontaneous curing frquency of this plasmid was also greatly enhanced by growing on benzoate minimal medium. After then, it was also xylene metabogrowing on benzoate minimal medium. After then, it was found to be conjugally nontransmissible. From the comparative investigation of catechol 1,2-oxygenase and catechol 2,3-oxygenase activities in wild type and cured strain on various growth substrate, it appeared that T81X strain has both of these two enzymes while cured strain has catechol 1,2-oxygenase only. Growing on m-toluate minimal medium T81X strain should carry the genetic information necessary for coding the catechol 1,2-oxygense induced by m-toluate or benzoate, on that curable plasmid.

유통중인 계란의병원성균 오염상태를 시판되는 multiplex polymerase chain reaction (mPCR) kit로 검사한 결과, 총 90개의 검사시료 가운데 한 가지 이상의 미생물이 검출된 계란시료는 30개로, 검사시료의 미생물 오염도는 약 33.3% 수준이었다. 미생물별 검출 빈도는 B. cereus가 17개 시료(18.9%)에서 검출되어 가장 높은 빈도를 보였으며 Y. enterocolitica는 16개(17.8%), L. monocytogenes 15개(16.7%), St. aureus 12개(13.3%), E. coli O157:H7 4개(4.4%)의 검출빈도를 보였다. 한편, 선택배지를 이용한 viable cell count 방법에서는 27개의 시료에서 미생물이 검출되어 검사시료의 미생물 오염도는 약 30.0% 수준이였으며, 미생물별 검출 빈도는 B. cereus가 17개 시료(18.9%)에서 14개(15.6%) 시료로, Y. enterocolitica는 16개(17.8%)에서 12개(13.3%)로, L. monocytogenes는 15개(16.7%)에서 13개(14.4%)로, St. aureus는 12개(13.3%)에서 10개(11.1%)로 감소하였으며, E. coli O157:H7은 두 가지 검출방법간의 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 검출 대상 미생물 9종 가운데 Campylobacter jejuni, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Salmonella spp., 및 Shigella spp.는 두 방법 모두에서 검출되지 않았다. 이상의 결과에서 살펴본 바와 같이 PCR을 이용한 병원성 미생물의 검출 방법은 viable cell count 방법보다 감도가 높음을 알 수 있었다.
