항생제(antibiotics)란 공생(symbiosis)의 반대 개념인 항생(antibiosis)에서 유래된 것으로 ‘생물, 특히 미생물에 의해 만들어진 물질로서 다른 미생물의 성장이나 생명을 막는 것’을 말한다. 축산에서 성장촉진용 항생제 사용은 성장률과 사료효율 및 특정 질병을 치유시켜준다는 장점이 있어 그 동안 대중적으로 많이 사용했던 것이 사실이다. 그러나 무분별한 항생제 사용으로 인해 내성 문제와 체내 잔류와 같은 문제가 발생하여 가축뿐만 아니라 사람에게도 부정적인 문제를 야기 시킬 수 있다고 하여 최근 각 국가별로 항생제의 사용을 전면 금지 또는 강력한 규제를 하고 있다. 이러한 국제적인 움직임 속에 전 세계는 항생제를 대체할 수 있는 대체 물질 개발 대체물질을 이용한 친환경 무항생제 사육 프로그램을 도입하여 소비자에게 고품질의 안전하고 위생적인 축산물을 공급하기 위해 노력을 기울이고 있다. 다라서 본고에서는 항생제 사용에 따른 문제점을 지적하고 최근 각광 받고 있는 항생제 대체물질에 대해 살펴보며 추후 이러한 대체 물질을 통해 친환경 무항생제 사육의 가능성은 얼마나 되는지 살펴보기로 한다.

The objective of this study was to model the kinetics of S. aureus survival on high risk foods in school foodservice operations. After inoculating S. aureus ATCC25923 onto the various high risk foods, the effects of competitive microorganism, storage temperatures($25^{\circ}C$, $35^{\circ}C$), and initial contamination levels ($1.0{\times}10^2\;CFU/g$, $1.0{\times}10^5\;CFU/g$) on the growth of S. aureus were investigated. Lag time decreased and specific growth rate increased with a storage temperature ($25^{\circ}C$<$35^{\circ}C$) and with a higher initial inoculation level ($1.0{\times}10^2\;CFU/g$<$1.0{\times}10^5\;CFU/g$). Previously it was shown that S. aureus is a weaker competitor than other organisms, but it proliferates aggressively in a noncompetitive environment. However, in our study, when S. aureus was used to inoculate japchae (glass noodles with sauteed vegetables) and meat ball, the growth of S. aureus was similar and more active with competitive organisms than that without competitive organisms. Regardless of other factors, the initial level of S. aureus was a more significant factor of the growth. High inoculation levels of S. aureus were reached at 6 log CFU/g within 3 hours. An incubation temperature of $35^{\circ}C$ and the animal protein component of menu items also were identified as significant factors influencing the growth of S. aureus. Therefore, the duration of time meals are stored before serving should be considered a critical control point. Food service providers must control time and temperature to insure the safety of cooked foods.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus are the two most frequently encountered pathogens responsible for chronic wound infections, often coexisting in such cases. These infections exhibit heightened virulence compared to single infections, leading to unfavorable patient outcomes. The interaction among microorganisms within polymicrobial infections has been shown to exacerbate disease progression. Polymicrobial infections, prevalent in various contexts such as the respiratory tract, wounds, and diabetic foot, typically involve diverse microorganisms, with Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus being the most commonly identified pathogens. This study aimed to compare the growth patterns of bacteria under a concentration gradient of toxic chemicals, focusing on a Gram-negative strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and a Gram-positive strain of Staphylococcus aureus. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), which signifies the concentration at which bacterial growth is inhibited, was determined by performing broth microdilution and assessing the bacteria's growth curves. The growth curves of both Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus were confirmed, and the exponential growth phases were applied to calculate the doubling times of bacteria. The MIC value for each toxic chemical was determined through broth microdilution. These results allowed for the identification of disparities in growth rates between Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, as well as differences in resistance to individual toxic substances. We expect that this approach has a strong potential for further development towards the innovative treatment of bacteria-associated infections.

In this study, PCR-DGGE was conducted to investigate the variations of microbial community according to pH conditions from pH 3 to pH 10 during anaerobic fermentation process of hydrogen production. Maximum hydrogen yield was 1.8 mol $H_2$/mol substrate at pH 5. The microbial growth rate was not proportional to the hydrogen production rate at each pH. Variations of microbial community was observed at each condition from PCR-DGGE experiment of 16s rDNA. Klebsiella was main species of the microbial community. Streptococcus and Clostridium were mainly contributed for hydrogen production.

A variety of nuruks collected in different areas in Korea were explored to isolate sixty yeast strains that was able to grow at 44℃. MBY/L1569 strain, which showed the highest growth rate, was selected and identified as Pichia farinosa (Millerozyma farinosa). The isolated strain exhibited superior resistance to heat, acid, and alkali compared with those of P. farinosa KCTC27412 as a control strain. The specific growth rate of P. farinosa MBY/L1569 at 46℃ was 0.37 ± 0.05 h⁻¹, and the highest specific growth rate of 0.50 ± 0.02 h⁻¹ was obtained when it was grown at pH 7.0 and 37℃ with 50 g/l (w/v) glucose as the carbon source. Under optimum growth conditions, strain MBY/L1569 produced ethanol 19.66 ± 0.68 g/l from glucose 50 g/l, with an approximate yield of 40%. P. farinosa MBY/L1569 was deposited at the Korean Collection for Type Cultures as pichia farinosa KCTC27753.

The effect of 4 kinds of alcohols was investigated on the production of bacterial cellulose (BC) by Gluconacetobacter hansenii PJK. The addition of alcohols and acetic acid to medium caused the pellets of bacterial cellulose to aggregate into a lump, which could be easily separated from the culture medium. The growth rate of cells and the production yield of BC increased in the medium containing ethanol. Other alcohols in the medium decreased cell growth and the cellulose production rate, because of their toxic effects. The addition of ethanol depressed the conversion of a $\textrm{Cel}^{+}$ cell to a $\textrm{Cel}^{-}$ mutant in shaking culture. Cells subcultured three in a medium containing ethanol produced BC without any loss of BC production yield.

농업 분야에서 미생물은 영양분 가용화, 유기물 분해 등 토양 영양분 공급에 중요한 역할을 하며, 토양 건강성 증진, 식량 안보 및 식품 건강 면에서 많은 활용 가능성을 지니고 있다. 최근 유역 환경 건강성, 생물 다양성 보존, 효율적인 고품질 농산물 생산에 대한 관심이 커져, 지속 가능한 농업 중 하나인 유기농업과 관행농업 토양의 이화학적 및 생물학적 특성에 관한 비교 연구가 진행되고 있다. 미생물은 지속 가능한 농업 발전의 중요한 요소 중 하나로써, 미생물 다양성이 풍부할수록 토양 비옥도, 작물 성장 면에서 긍정적인 영향을 미친다고 알려져 있다. 본 연구는 이에 대한 기초 데이터를 제공하기 위해 논 경작지를 대상으로 유기 및 관행농업 토양의 미생물 군집조성과 Alpha diversity analysis(Chao1, Shannon, Simpson index)을 통해 비교하였다. 경기도 양평군에서 유기 및 관행 논 지역을 각각 1지점씩 선정하였으며, 8월부터 11월까지 총 4회 현장 조사를 진행하였다. 미생물 분석은 차세대염기서열분석을 실시하였으며, bacteria는 16S rRNA V3-4 영역, fungi는 ITS 3-4 영역을 sequencing 하였다. 미생물 군집조성은 문수준에서는 큰 차이가 없었으나, 속수준에서는 fungi 군집조성에 차이를 보였다. 예로 Ustilaginoidea 속은 관행 논 토양에서만 발견되었으며, 벼 이삭누룩병을 일으키는 병원균으로 과도한 질소 비료 시비가 원인으로 추정된다. 종 다양성은 bacteria diversity의 경우 관행 논 토양에서 높게 측정되는 반면, fungi diversity의 경우 유기 논 토양에서 높게 측정되었다. 결론적으로 체계적인 시비 관리 통해 미생물 군집은 조절될 수 있으며, 관행농업은 적절한 시비를 통해 토양 건강성 및 식품 건강성 면에서 유기농업과 비슷한 효과를 보여줄 가능성이 있다고 판단된다.

Growth kinetic parameters for mass cultivation of Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells are estimated by measuring oxygen uptake rates. It Is found that there is strong correlation between cell growth and oxygen consumption, showing that correlation factor is 0.83. Derived linear model predicts actual cell density very well. It tells that oxygen uptake rate can play important role in indirectly measuring cell density when conventional method of estimating cell density is no longer meaningful due to heavy cell clumpings. Cell yield per oxygen consumption, $Y_{\chi}o$ and mass transfer coefficient for oxygen, Ka are also estimated as 1.26$\times$10$^4$cells/mmole $O_2$ consumed and 1.01/h, respectively. Average specific growth rate over all runs is 2.891/day for CHO cells with producting 2 grams of tPA per day under continuous perfusion operations.
