정부는 미생물농약 지원사업을 확대 추진할 예정이다. 또한 친환경인증 농산물 인증단계 간소화를 위해 2010년부터 저농약 신규인증을 중단하며 농약의 유통관리 강화를 위해 밀수농약의 보관 진열 사용한자까지 처벌토록 농약관리법을 전면적으로 개정할 계획이다.

The human skin is an ecosystem that provides habitat to various microorganisms. These comprise the skin microbiome and provide numerous benefits in addition to maintaining a symbiotic relation with the host. Various metabolites generated by the skin microbiome exert beneficial effects such as strengthening the skin barrier, and anti-aging and anti-inflammatory functions. In this study, we isolated a novel bacterium, designated Sporichthyacae strain K-07, from the human skin. Analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that the newly found bacterium shares 93.4% homology with the genus Sporichthya, thus corroborating the discovery of a novel genus. We further analyzed the effect of the novel strain in vitro, by treating HaCaT cells with bacterial metabolite products. Treatment resulted in changes in the mRNA expression levels of filaggrin, claudin1, claudin4, SMase, CERS3, HAS3, aquaporin3, IL-6, TNF-${\alpha}$, TSLP, and TARC. Specifically, the levels of filaggrin, claudin1, claudin4, SMase, CERS3, HAS3, and aquaporin3 were higher in strain K-07 metabolite product-treated cells than in control cells. These results showed that metabolite products of the novel strain K-07 enhanced the skin barrier and exert anti-inflammatory effects. Therefore, these metabolite products could be potentially used for treatment of skin conditions.

This study was aimed at the analysis of prokaryote communities in Korean traditional fermented food, jeotgal, and isolation of a novel strain from jeotgal by using culture-dependent and molecular biological approaches. Seventeen kinds of jeotgal were selected on the basis of its origins and sources. The samples were inoculated on 12 kinds of media. 308 isolates were selected randomly by morphological features, and its 16S rRNA gene sequences was amplified by PCR technique with bacteria and archaea specific primers (8F, 21F, and 1492R). The 16S rRNA gene sequences were compared with those in EzTaxon and GenBank databases. DNA-DNA hybridization was performed to identify a novel strain. As a result, the majority of the isolates were lactic acid bacteria (Leuconostoc, Weisella, Lactococcus, Lactobacillus, Carnobacterium, Marinilactibacillus), Bacillus, Pseudomonas, Micrococcus, Brevibacterium, Microbacterium and Kocuria in 17 kinds of jeotgal. The strains belonging to Salinicoccus, Halomonas, Cobetia, Lentibacillus, Paracoccus, and Psychrobacter were isolated as minor ones. Fourteen novel species were identified based on phylogenetic analysis.

Novel cytochrome P450 hydroxylase (CYP) genes were isolated and characterized from P. autotrophica cosmid DNA library using an actinomycete CYP-specific PCR product as a screening probe. The cosmids containing four unique CYP genes (pESK601, 602, 603, 604, 605) were identified, and the four CYP genes were completely sequenced to be homologous to other known Actinomycetes CYP genes involved in various secondary metabolic pathways. Among all novel actinomycete CYP genes found in P. autotrophica, the CYP genes present in pESK601 were revealed to be highly homologous to the CYP genes involved in polyene-type amphotericin and nystatin antibiotic biosynthesis. The nucleotide sequences of the CYP flanking region in pESK601 also revealed the polyene-type biosynthetic genes, implying the presence of a cryptic polyene-type antifungal biosynthetic gene cluster in P. autotrophica.

Marine bacteria have represented unique physiologies and products which are not discovered from terrestrial organisms. There has been great interest to utilize and develop marine bacteria in many industrial sectors. Recently, we isolated and characterized anaerobic bacteria from various marine environments in Korea to search organic acids fermenting strains. From our enrichment performed under anaerobic condition, 65 strains were isolated and identified by the 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. Among them, eleven strains were selected for phylogenetical and biochemical analysis. All tested strains were affiliated with Class Clostridia except one with Class Bacteroidia. Most of strains produce acetate (6 strains) with butyrate (2 strains) and/or formate (4 strains). Strain MCWD5 transformed 40% of glucose to extracellular polymeric substances. These results indicate that many novel anaerobic microorganisms which have great potential in commercial application are distributed in the marine environments of Korean Peninsula.
