The aim of this study was to identify strain KCOM 1265 isolated from subgingival plaque at the species level by comparing 16S ribosomal RNA gene (16S rDNA) and genome sequences. The whole genome of strain KCOM 1265 was extracted using the phenol–chloroform extraction method. 16S rDNA was amplified using polymerase chain reaction and sequenced using the dideoxy chain termination method. Pairwise genome comparison was performed using average nucleotide identity (ANI) and genome-to-genome distance (GGD) analyses. The data showed that the percent similarity of 16S rDNA sequence of strain KCOM 1265 was 99.6% as compared with those of Fusobacterium polymorphum ATCC 10953T and Fusobacterium hwasookii KCOM 1249T. The ANI values of strain KCOM 1265 with F. polymorphum ATCC 10953T and F. hwasookii KCOM 1249T were 95.8% and 93.0%, respectively. The GGD values of strain KCOM 1265 with F. polymorphum ATCC 10953T and F. hwasookii KCOM 1249T were 63.9% and 49.6%, respectively. These results indicate that strain KCOM 1265 belongs to F. polymorphum.

This study deals with the yielding behavior and strain aging properties of three bake hardening steels with dualphase microstructure, fabricated by varying the annealing temperature. Bake hardening and aging tests are performed to examine the correlation of martensite volume fraction with yielding behavior and strain aging properties of the bake hardening steels with dual-phase microstructure. The volume fraction of martensite increases with increasing annealing temperature. Roomtemperature tensile test results show that the yielding behavior changes from discontinuous-type to continuous-type with increasing volume fraction of martensite due to higher mobile dislocation density. According to the bake hardening and aging tests, the specimen with the highest fraction of martensite exhibited high bake hardening with low aging index because solute carbon atoms in ferrite and martensite effectively diffuse to dislocations during the bake hardening test, while in the aging test they diffuse at only ferrite due to lower aging temperature.

In this study, the properties of the substances fermented soybean producted by manufacturing with several Aspergillus strains were investigated. The five soybean cultivar that includes miso, jinpung, pyeongwon, cheonga and chamol were used in this experiment. The pH and total acidity were 6.30~6.66%, and 0.27~0.48%, respectively with differences depending on the samples.

This study was conducted to separate microorganisms with excellent odor component decomposition ability from nature. Microorganisms growing sulfur and ammonia compounds as substrates were isolated and identified in the tidal flat of Suncheon Bay. The strain YUN4 cultured on ammonia and sulfur compound substrates was found to have 100% genetic homology to Streptomyces fulvissimus. The optimum growth temperature of YUN4 was 20oC to 40oC, and the optimum pH was investigated in the range of pH 5 to pH 9. In addition, in order to evaluate the ability to reduce odor, after mixing the culture strain with each concentration of 1%, 5%, and 10% in the malodor generating sample, the efficiency of malodor reduction was evaluated after 30 minutes. As a result, the ammonia decomposition efficiency was 82.4%~93.9%, and hydrogen sulfide was 88.7%~94.9%.

최근 표고버섯의 맛과 기능성이 알려지면서 동아시아는 물론 전세계적으로 관심이 집중되는 가운데 기후변화와 재배자들의 수요를 충족시킬 수 있는 고품질의 표고버섯 품종개발의 요구도는 날로 높아지는 실정이다. ‘밤빛향’은 산백향과 산조707호을 모본으로 하여 일핵 균주간의 교잡을 통해 새로이 육성된 품종이다. 배양기간 은 100일이며, 발생온도가 11-20°C로 한여름과 한겨울을 제외한 모든 계절에 재배가 가능한 품종이다. 버섯의 형태는 평반구형으로 대는 갓의 중심에 위치하며, 갓의 직 경은 69.6 mm이며, 갓의 두께는 15.2 mm이다. 버섯 갓의 색깔은 진한 갈색으로 일반적인 표고의 갓 색깔보다 짙다 . 버섯의 주름살 측면의 모양은 부정형으로 주름살의 밀도는 보통이지만, 폭이 좁다. 인편의 색깔은 옅은 미(米)색 이며 인편은 갓의 전체에 퍼져 있다. 대의 모양은 기둥형과 깔대기형이 섞인 모양이고, 색깔은 옅은 미(米)색으로 주름살의 색깔과 같다. 대의 표면에는 털이 있으며 털의 색, 대의 털 색, 갓의 인편 모두 옅은 미(米)색으로 존재한다. 버섯은 산발 발생하여 솎아주기가 거의 필요 없다. 모 균주인 산백향과 산조 707호와의 대치배양에서 확연하게 대치선을 형성하였다. 종합적으로 자실체의 형태는 정성적으로 양호한 평가를 얻었고 정량적으로 대조품종 산백 향의 대길이보다 약 9% 줄이는 효과와 갓두께는 16.9% 두꺼운 결과를 얻었다. 목표로 했던 모균주 산조707호의 짧은 대길이의 특성이 유전되었고 산백향의 생산성이 유전된 것으로 판단된다.

This study investigated the efficacy of four Brucella (B.) abortus recombinant proteins, namely adenylate kinase (Adk), nucleoside diphosphate kinase (Ndk), 50S ribosomal protein (L7/L12) and preprotein translocase subunit (SecB), as a combined subunit vaccine (CSV) against B. abortus infection in BALB/c mice. Immunoblotting assay showed that these four recombinant proteins as well as pcold-TF vector reacted individually with Brucella-positive serum, but not with Brucella-negative serum. The peripheral blood CD4+ T cell population was increased in CSV-immunized mice compared to PBS and pcold-TF vector groups. In addition, CSV and pcold-TF groups displayed induced IgG1 and IgG2a antibodies production compared to PBS and RB51 group, whereas IgG2a titer was higher than IgG1 titer in CSV group. The secretion profiles of IgG1 and IgG2a production together with an enhancement of CD4+ T cell population suggested that CSV did not only induce T helper 1 (Th1) T cell immunity but also humoral immunity. Therein, Th1 T cell immunity is more predominant in eliminating intracellular bacteria B. abortus. Furthermore, CSV immunization significantly reduced the bacterial burden in the spleen as well as the spleen weight in comparison to PBS and pcold-TF groups. Altogether, combination of these antigens could be potential to induce protective immunity against B. abortus infection in animals.

Viral protein 2 (VP2) of porcine parvovirus (PPV) is responsible for inducing neutralizing antibodies in immunized animals. It is the major viral structural protein. In this study, novel subunit vaccines against PPV based on virus-like particles (VLPs) formed from VP2 proteins (PPV 13-7 Korean strain) were expressed in an insect baculovirus cell system and purified using Ni-NTA affinity column chromatography. These VP2 proteins assembled into virus-like particles (VLPs). They showed antigenic properties similar to those of natural PPV. In addition, they showed high hemagglutination (HA) titers (211 for PPV 13-7 Korean strain). This study provides a foundation for the application of the difference immunization of recombinant protein in the diversity of PPV VP2 genes and in vaccination against PPV in the future.

노란달걀버섯은(Amanita javanica) 국내에서 산림법으 로 보호받고 있는 식용 가능한 외생균근성 버섯이나, 중요한 산림자원으로서 활용하기 위한 기초적인 특성 연구에 대한 자료는 부족한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구는 국내 채집 야생버섯 자실체로부터 분리한 노란달걀버섯 NIFoS 1267 균주를 이용하여 PDA 배지 상에서 물리적 요인(온도, pH, 광)과 화학적인 요인(염분, 중금속, 농약)에 따른 균사생장 특성을 조사하였다. 최적의 물리적 환경은 온도가 30oC, pH가 5-6, 암조건으로 배양이었을 때 노란달걀 버섯 균주의 균사생장이 가장 좋은 것으로 나타났다. 화학적 요인으로서 염분은 2.0% 농도 조건까지 버섯균주의 균사 생장이 가능하였다. 50 ppm 농도의 중금속 이온 환경에서 비소(As) 이온은 노란달걀버섯 균주의 균사생장에 영향을 주지 않았으나 카드뮴(Cd)와 납(Pb) 이온은 균사 생장이 불가능하게 하였다. 국내 산림에 사용되고 있는 2가지 농약의 경우, Abamectin 첨가 배지에서는 노란달걀 버섯 균주의 균사 생장에 영향이 없었으나 Acetamiprid, Emamectin benzoate, Thiacloprid가 첨가된 배지 환경에서는 균사 생장이 모두 다 저해 되었다. 본 연구 결과는 향후 상업적 생산을 위한 새로운 자원으로서 노란달걀버섯의 인공재배 연구에 도움이 될 것으로 기대된다.

Tissue engineering has been rapidly developed in oral and maxillofacial reconstruction. Biocompatible scaffold from chemically composites seeded with stem cells is essential and several growth factors for bone formation and angiogenesis are also required. To overcome limited activity of new bone formation with scaffolds, several biomechanical stimulation methods on cells have been made to grow cells in scaffold. Several bioreactors have been developed for real tissue growth in culture laboratory. In addition to biological stimulants like BMP, growth factors and exogenous drugs, biomechanical stimulation technique has also been known as an effective method in cell differentiation. We developed our own bioreactor with tensile mechanical strains. Then we tested with it for detection of suitable biomechanical effect on the cell differentiation and proliferation. And we also compared the results with the effect of low intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS). Mechanical strain group showed more rapid reaction with cell differentiation and proliferation than non-mechanical strain group. Mechanical strain groups stimulated with 0.5∼0.7Hz for 6 hours and 8 hours showed more active cell differentiation than the group with 0.5∼0.7Hz for 2.5 hours tensile strain stimulation. Group of LIPUS also showed more rapid reaction in cell differentiation and proliferation. LIPUS with 3MHz showed more cell reaction than the LIPUS group with 1MHz. Our results showed the positive effect on differentiation and proliferation of cell with mechanical tensile strain, LIPUS both.

고추는 전 세계적으로 중요한 경제작물이다. 하지만, 매년 Colletotrichum species에 의해 발생하는 고추탄저병에 의해 상품성이 떨어지고 수량이 현저히 감소하여 많은 농가에 중대한 피해를 주는 주요 병해이기 때문에 방제대책이 절실히 요구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 국내에 최근 발생한 C. scovillei에 대해 Burkholderia cepacia를 이용하여 길항 능력을 확인하였다. 16S rRNA와 recA 유전자 분석을 통해 분리된 균주가 B. cepacia임을 확인하였고, 식물 생장 촉진 물질인 siderophore와 항진균 가수분해 효소인 protease, cellulase 생산을 기내 실험을 통해 확인하였다. 또한, C. scovillei에 대한 KF1의 균사 생장 억제율은 66.0%로 나타났으며, 1×105, 106, 107, 108 cfu/mL의 길항 미생물 처리 농도에 따른 포자 발아율은 각각 7.8%, 4.3%, 1.2%, 0%로 확인되어 분리된 길항 미생물은 효과적으로 병원균의 균사 생장 및 포자 발아를 억제하였다. 따라서 본 연구는 길항 미생물 B. cepacia KF1의 고추탄저병균에 대한 생물학적 방제제 자원으로서의 활용가능성을 제시하였다.

Leuconostoc spp. are generally utilized as kimchi starters, because these strains are expected to have beneficial effects on kimchi fermentation, including improvement of sensory characteristics. Here, we developed a detection method for verifying the presence of the kimchi starter Leuconostoc mesenteroides WiKim33, which is used for control of kimchi fermentation. A primer set for multiplex polymerase chain reaction was designed based on the nucleotide sequence of the plasmids in strain WiKim33, and their specificity was validated against 45 different strains of Leuconostoc spp. and 30 other strains. Furthermore, the starter strain consistently tested positive, regardless of the presence of other bacterial species in starter kimchi during the fermentation period. Our findings showed that application of a strain-specific primer set for strain WiKim33 presented a rapid, sensitive, and specific method for detection of this kimchi starter strain during natural kimchi fermentation.

Serratia marcescens 2354(ATCC 25419) 균주로부터 추출한 붉은 색소는 prodigiosin (PG) 이었고, 이를 methanol에 녹여 자외선 및 가시광선 흡수 스펙트라를 측정한 결과 537 nm의 최대흡수파장 (λmax)을 갖는 산성용액에서의 전형적인 PG의 흡수 스펙트라이었다. 또한 methanol 용액에서 PG의 농도를 1.0 × 10-5 M에서 9.0 × 10-5 M로 증가시키면, 537 nm의 흡수강도는 증가하고 467 nm의 흡수강도는 감소하였으며, 500 nm에서 isosbestic point가 관측되었다. 이러한 현상은 537 nm와 467 nm가 각각 산과 염기용액에서의 PG 흡수대이고, 500 nm의 isosbestic point 등을 고려하면 가역적 산- 염기 평형반응에 의한 결과라고 볼 수 있다. 한편 pH, 4.75의 acetic acid 완충용액에서 PG의 농도를 6.0 × 10-4 M에서 1.0 × 10-4 M로 감소시키면 500 nm에서 λmax를 가지는 새로운 흡수대가 나타 난다. 이 흡수대는 pH 4.75의 수용액에서만 나타나는 것으로 같은 pH의 순수한 methanol 용액에서는 나타나지 않는다. 이는 PG 분자가 H2O에 의해 α-이성질체에서 β-이성질체로의 전환에 기인하는 것 이다. 즉 PG의 색변화는 용액의 농도 및 용매의 특성에 의해서도 일어날 수 있음을 확인하였다.
