비티 포자와 Xenorhabdus nematophila (Xn)의 배양액을 혼합하여 비티플러스가 개발되었다. 높은 살충력에도 불구하고 비티플러스는 다 양한 해충에 대한 넓은 살충범위를 보이지 않는 한계가 있다. 본 연구에서는 Xn 대사물질 첨가를 통한 파밤나방과 같은 비감수성 해충에 대한 비 티플러스의 살충력 향상에 초점을 맞추었다. Xn의 주요 대사물질인 oxindole (OI)과 benzylideneacetone (BZA)는 비티의 살충력을 향상시킨 다고 보고되었다. 본 연구에서 OI 또는 BZA의 첨가는 비티플러스의 살충력을 향상시켰다. 그러나 동결건조된 Xn 배양액의 첨가는 보다 낮은 농 도의 OI 또는 BZA로도 충분히 비피플러스의 살충력을 상승시켰다. HPLC 분석에서 Xn 배양액에 최소 12개의 대사물질이 포함되어 있는 것을 확인하였다. 이러한 결과는 OI와 BZA 외에도 Xn 대사물질에 생리활성물질이 존재하는 것을 제시한다.

 ,  , The entomopathogenic bacterium, Xenorhabdus sp., was isolated from an entomopathogenic nematode, Steinernema monticolum. When these bacteria were injected into the hemocoel of the diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella, they caused significant mortality. However, the bacterium was not pathogenic when it was administered orally. This study showed that Xenorhabdus sp. significantly enhanced oral pathogenicity of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) against the last instar larvae of P. xylostella. Different ratios of culture broth of Xenorhabdus sp. and Bt showed significantly different pathogenicities against P. xylostella. In field tests, the optimal bacterial mixture significantly enhanced control efficacy against P.xylostella compared to Bt treatment alone. These results demonstrated that Xenorhabdus sp. culture broth can be developed as a potent biopesticide by enhancing the insecticidal efficacy of Bt.

Two groups of entomopathogenic bacteria, Xenorhabdus and Photorhabdus, are known to suppress insect immune responses by inhibiting eicosanoid biosynthesis. This study used these bacterial culture broths to develop novel biochemical insecticides against the diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella. Though the bacterial culture broths alone showed little insecticidal activity, they significantly enhanced pathogenicity of Bacillus thuringiensis against the fourth instar larvae of P. xylostella. Sterilization of the bacterial culture broth by autoclaving or 0.2 ㎛ membrane filtering did not influence the synergistic effect on the pathogenicity of B. thuringiensis. Three metablites identified in the culture broth of X. nematophila also showed similar synergistic effects. In field test, both entomopathogenic bacterial culture broth also enhanced the control efficacy of B. thuringiensis against P. xylostella.

Entomopathogenic fungi are widely available as biological control agents for controlling insect pests in agriculture and forestry. The fungal culture broth contains various pathogenesis-related components such as blastospores, mycelium and insecticidal enzymes such as chitinase, Pr1- and Pr2-proteases, which have been reported to play an important role in penetrating insect cuticles. In this study, we tried to evaluate the utility of culture broth from Beauveria bassiana SFB-205 to control lepidopteran pests. High level of insecticidal activity correspond to over 90% of mortality were observed when the culture broth of B. bassiana SFB-205 was inoculated to the Spodoptera litura larvae together with the B. thuringiensis K1. The freeze-dried culture broth showed synergistic effects in insecticidal activity against larvae of S. exigua and S. litura when treated with corresponding baculoviruses, SeNPV and SlNPV. Active ingredient of the B. bassiana SFB-205 culture broth was identified to chitinase, which have truncated form by insertional mutation compared to previously reported chitinases.

This study was carried out to investigate the growth inhibition of Propionibacterium acnes by mycelial culture broth of Paecilomyces japonica in the Mulberry leaf extract. The results are as following. The growth inhibition effect of P. japonica mycelial culture broth against P. acnes in various concentration of Mulberry leaf extract was the most effective in 3% Mulberry leaf extract. The inhibition effect of P. japonica mycelial culture broth against P. acnes in Mulberry leaf extract according to the culture time was the moust effective for 25 days cultivation. As the treating volume of the mycelial culture broth was increased, the growth inhibition effect against P. acnes was increased as well. The growth inhibition effect of mycelial culture broth against P. acnes according to the time of heat treatment was active by 45min at 100℃, while it was inactive at more than 60min. Taken together P. japonica mycelial culture in the Mulbarry leaf extract has a possibility to be an element of skincare cosmetics regulating the acnes. This means that the enzyme may be used for health-care such as thrombosis without any hamful behavour in the blood vessel.

본 연구는 뽕잎 추출물에 눈꽃 동충하초 균사체(Paecilomyces japonica) 배양액의 Propionibacterium acnes에 대한 생육 억제 활성을 조사한 것이다. 배양 배지내의 뽕잎 추출물 농도는 3%일 때 가장 높은 여드름 균 생육 억제 활성이 나타났으며, 3% 농도의 뽕잎 추출물을 이용한 균사체 배양 날짜별 활성은 25일 배양시 가장 높은 여드름 균 생육 억제 활성을 확인 할 수 있었다. 또한 여드름 균에 생육 억제 활성을 가지는 물질은 동충하초 균사체의 2차 대사산물로 판단 할 수 있었다. 뽕잎 추출물에 동충하초 균사체 배양액의 처리농도별 여드름 활성은 처리 농도가 상승할수록 증가하였다. 그리고 5% 감자만을 넣고 배양하였을 경우 여드름 균의 활성이 나타나지 않았으며, 합성 배지인 PDB를 사용 시 뽕잎 추출물을 이용해 배양하였을 때보다 낮은 활성을 나타내었다. 또한 뽕잎 추출물에 동충하초 균사체 배양액의 여드름균 생육 억제 활성의 열 안정성을 확인하기 위한 열처리 결과, 100℃에서 45분 까지 열에 안정함을 확인 할 수 있었다. 이러한 결과로 볼 때 뽕잎 추출물에 동충하초 배양액의 여드름균 생육 억제 물질은 배당체 또는 peptide 인 것으로 판단된다. 따라서, 뽕잎 추출물을 이용한 동충하초 균사체 배양액은 여드름균 생육 억제 활성이 뛰어나며, 열에 안정한 천연 여드름 억제 화장품료 조성물로서의 이용가능성이 확인 하였다.

This study investigated the effects of mycelium and culture supernatant of Cordyceps ochraceostromat(Co) on air way hyper-responsiveness, pulmonary immune cell infiltration, and Th2 cytokine expression in animal models of atopy and asthma. After ConA(+/-) activation of mouse primary spleen cells, decreased IL-4 and IL-13 cytokine production were seen in the presence of Co mycelium extracts and culture supernatant. The asthma model involved mice sensitized to ovalbumin by i.p. injection treatment; Co mycelium extract was also injected. The atopy model was the dinitrofenylbenzene-treated mouse ear. Ear thicken ing induced by DNFB was decreased by Co mycelium extract, and the extract also inhibited lung cell infiltration in ovalbumin-induced asthmatic mice. The results thus indicated that the Co mycelial extract reduced the undesirable immune responses seen in asthma and atopy.

소나무 잔나비버섯 균사체 배양액(CM)을 이용한 빵 제조를 위하여 첨가량()에 따른 반죽의 발효 및 빵의 품질특성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. CM의 첨가량과 반죽의 품질지표(pH, 산도, 반죽부피, 되기, 강도 및 점도) 상호간의 상관분석을 행한 결과 CM은 반죽의 pH를 높임으로서 반죽의 되기 및 강도를 높이는 반면 점도를 감소시켰다. 첨가에 따라 굽기 손실률은 첨가에 따라 감소하였으나, loaf volume index는 첨가량에 따른 대조구

Water extract of green tea(GTW) and 70% ethanol extract of green tea(GTE) were prepared for the test of antibacterial activity. The sensitivity of Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella typhimurium to the green tea extracts in various pH of culture broth was tested. Tryptic soy broth(TSB) containing 0∼2%(w/v) of green tea extracts was adjusted to pH 5.0∼7.0 and inoculated with 105/∼106/ cells/ml of each bacteria. The plate counting method and clear zone test were used to determine inhibitory effect of green tea extracts. Green tea extracts completely inhibited the growth of S. aureus at 0.5% level and bactercidal at 0.5∼1.0% level of GTW and GTE at pH 5.0∼7.0. Green tea extracts were bactercidal to S. typhimurium at 1.5∼2.0% level of GTW and 1.0∼2.0% level of GTE at pH 7.0. Sal. typhimurium was more resistant than S. aureus. in same concentration of green tea extracts at same pH. The resistance of S. aureus and Sal. typhimurium was increased with decreasing pH of culture broth. The morphology of S. aureus cells treated with green tea extracts showed damage of cell wall and cytoplasmic membrane. Severely damaged cells of S. aureus lost electron dense material and cytoplasm. Green tea extracts stimulated autolysis and cell death of S. aureus. This result suggests that green tea extracts can be used as an effective natural antibacterial agent in food.
