This study aimed to evaluate the appropriateness of MRS-C (0.05% L-cystein; pH 5) and BHI-CM (0.05% L-cystein, 0.5% mucin) agars for the selective isolation of bifidobacteria in fecal samples compared to blood-liver-NPNL (BL-NPNL) agar. Over 200 isolated colonies were characterized morphologically and biochemically. Genomic DNA was extracted from pure cultures of the isolated strains, followed by PCR amplification of the 16S rRNA gene. Bifidobacterium longum and B. animalis were selectively isolated from MRS-C agar and Lactobacillus acidophilus and Enterococcus avium were also isolated. B. longum, B. faecale, and B. animalis were isolated from feces on BHI-CM agar; however, different Bacteroides strains (including Bac. fragilis, Bac. kiribbi, Bac. ovatus, Bac. koreensis, and Bac. salyersiae) were also detected. BL-NPNL agar successfully isolated B. longum and Bacillus, while other Bifidobacterium and Bacteroides species could not grow owing to the presence of antibiotics in the medium. The use of antibiotics in a medium can enhance the selectivity; however, antibiotics may inhibit the growth of certain bacteria in a sample. Hence, adjusting pH or adding non-antibiotic nutrients to the medium is more advantageous, than relying on antibiotics.

This study was conducted to isolate lactobacilli having characteristics to be used as health adjuncts with fermented milk products. Acid tolerant strains were selected in Lactobacilli MRS broth adjusted to pH 4.0 from human faeces. Bile tolerant strains were examined in Lactobacilli MRS broth in which 1.0% bile salt was added. Microhemagglutination tests using swine erythrocytes were performed to select lactobacilli having adherence properties to survive in the intestinal tract. By examination of these characteristics the strain Nam 27, which was isolated from adult faeces, was selected and identified as Lactobacillus salivarius subsp. salivarius based on carbohydrate fermentation and 16S rDNA sequencing.

Listeria monocytogenes is a representative foodborne pathogen and causes listeriosis. Enterococcus faecium CJNU 2524 was confirmed to produce a bacteriocin with anti-listerial activity. To establish optimal culture conditions for the production of the bacteriocin from E. faecium CJNU 2524, different media (MRS and BHI broth) and temperatures (25℃, 30℃, and 37℃) were investigated. The results showed that the optimal culture conditions were MRS broth and 25℃ or 30℃ temperatures. The crude bacteriocin was stable in a broad range of pH conditions (2.0-10.0), temperatures (60℃-100℃), and organic solvents (methanol, ethanol, acetone, acetonitrile, and chloroform). The bacteriocin activity was abolished when treated with protease but not α-amylase or lipase, indicating the proteinaceous nature of the bacteriocin. Finally, the bacteriocin showed a bactericidal mode of action against L. monocytogenes. Therefore, it can be a biopreservative candidate for controlling L. monocytogenes in dairy and meat products.

As a major inhibitory neurotransmitter of the central nervous system in animals, ${\gamma}$-aminobutyric acid (GABA) has several physiological functions, such as anti-hypertensive, diuretic, tranquilizer and anti-stress effects in human. In order to determine strains with high GABA producing ability and glutamate decarboxylase (GAD) activity, 273 bacteria were isolated from various types of Kimchi. Strain K255 contained $386.37{\mu}g/mL$ of GABA in MRS broth containing 1% MSG, $600.63{\mu}g/mL$ of GABA in MRS broth containing 2% MSG and $821.24{\mu}g/mL$ of GABA in MRS broth containing 3% MSG. It showed that K255 had the highest GABA production ability compared to other commercial lactic acid bacteria. K255 was identified as Lactobacillus plantarum based on its API carbohydrate fermentation pattern and 16S rDNA sequence. K255 was investigated for its physiological characteristics. The optimum growth temperature of K255 was $37^{\circ}C$and cultures took 13 h to reach the pH 4.4. K255 showed more sensitive to bacitracin in a comparison of fifteen different antibiotics, and showed most resistance to kanamycin and vancomycin. Moreover, it was comparatively tolerant to bile juice and acid and displayed resistance to Escherichia coli, Salmonella Typhimurium, Staphylococcus aureus, with rates of 30.8%, 29.7%, and 23.4% respectively. These results demonstrate that K255 could be an excellent strain for the production of functional products.

The objective of this study was to optimize industrial-grade media for improving the biomass production of Weissella cibaria JW15 (JW15) using a statistical approach. Eleven variables comprising three carbon sources (glucose, fructose, and sucrose), three nitrogen sources (protease peptone, yeast extract, and soy peptone), and five mineral sources (K₂HPO₄, potassium citrate, ⳑ-cysteine phosphate, MgSO₄, and MnSO₄) were screened by using the Plackett-Burman design. Consequently, glucose, sucrose, and soy peptone were used as significant variables in response surface methodology (RSM). The composition of the optimal medium (OM) was 22.35 g/l glucose, 15.57 g/l sucrose, and 10.05 g/l soy peptone, 2.0 g/l K₂HPO₄, 5.0 g/l sodium acetate, 0.1 g/l MgSO₄·7H₂O, 0.05 g/l MnSO₄·H₂O, and 1.0 g/l Tween 80. The OM significantly improved the biomass production of JW15 over an established commercial medium (MRS). After fermenting OM, the dry cell weight of JW15 was 4.89 g/l, which was comparable to the predicted value (4.77 g/l), and 1.67 times higher than that of the MRS medium (3.02 g/l). Correspondingly, JW15 showed a rapid and increased production of lactic and acetic acid in the OM. To perform a scale-up validation, batch fermentation was executed in a 5-l bioreactor at 37℃ with or without a pH control at 6.0 ± 0.1. The biomass production of JW15 significantly improved (1.98 times higher) under the pH control, and the cost of OM was reduced by two-thirds compared to that in the MRS medium. In conclusion, OM may be utilized for mass producing JW15 for industrial use.

Trichoderma harzianum이 생산하는 ${\beta}-mannanase$의 최적 사면배지조성은 2.0% malt extract, 2.0% glucose, 0.1% peptone, 2.0% agar로, 효소생산 배지조성은 3.0% cellulose, 3.0% C.S.L, 1% $KH_2PO_4$, 0.2% $(NH_4){_2}SO_4$로 결정되어 $28^{\circ}C$, 130 rpm, 진탕배양법으로 조효소액을 생산하였다. ${\beta}-mannanase$의 최적 pH와 최적온도는 pH 4.5, $60^{\circ}C$에서 최대 상대활성을 나타내었다. Locust bean gum에 대한 효소적 가수분해 pattern을 TLC에 의해 검토한 결과 반응초기부터 반응말기까지 주요 생성물은 단당류, 중합도 4와 7의 올리고당으로 확인되었다. 중합도별 올리고당을 조제하기 위하여 activated carbon column chromatography에 250 ml/hr유속으로 tube당 20 ml씩 ethanol $0{\sim}50%$의 gradient법으로 분리 회수하였고, 분리된 각각의 올리고당 중 중합도4는 TLC $R_f$ value상으로 ${\beta}-1,4-mannotetraose$로, 중합도 7은 Methylation method에 의해 M-M-M-M-M 구조로 //G-G 동정되었다. (G-와 M-은 각각 ${\alpha}-1,6-D-galactosidic,\;{\beta}-1,4-mannosidic$ 결합을 나타냄). Bifidobacterium longum에 대한 생육활성을 기존의 MRS media와 탄소원으로 중합도 4와 7의 올리고당으로 대체하였을때 3.4배, 4.3배의 생육활성이 증가하였고, Bifidobacterium bifidum에 대해서는 1.2배, 1.1배의 낮은 활성을 나타내었다.

The proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy ($^1H-MRS$) is a tool used to detect concentrations of brain metabolites such as N-acetyl aspartate, choline, creatine, glutamate, and gamma-amino butyric acid (GABA). It has been widely used because it does not require additional devices other than the conventional magnetic resonance scanner and coils. Demyelination, or the neuronal damage due to loss of myelin sheath, is one of the common pathologic processes in many diseases including multiple sclerosis, leukodystrophy, encephalomyelitis, and other forms of autoimmune diseases. Rodent models mimicking human demyelinating diseases have been induced by using virus (e.g., Theiler's murine encephalomyelitis virus) or toxins (e.g., cuprizon or lysophosphatidyl choline). This review is an overview of the MRS findings on brain metabolites in demyelination with a specific focus on rodent models.
