This study was performed in order to investigate changes in platycosides, as well as antimicrobial activities of bronchus diseases-inducing bacteria (Corynebacterium diphtheriae, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, and Streptococcus pyogenes) of Platycodon grandiflorum root (PGR) fermented by lactic acid bacteria (Leuconostoc mesenteroides N12-4, Leuc. mesenteroides N58-5, Lactobacillus plantarum N76-10, L. plantarum N56-12, Lactobacillus brevis N70-9, and L. brevis E3-8). Growth of L. plantarum on PGR was most active during lactic acid fermentation using different strains. Total platycoside, platycoside E, platycodin A, polygalacin $D_2$, polygalacin D, and diapioplatyco-side E contents of PGR fermented for 96 h at $37^{\circ}C$ by Leuc. mesenteroides and L. plantarum increased, whereas contents of platycodin D and platycodin $D_3$ were reduced. The antimicrobial activity on PGR fermented by L. plantarum N56-12 exhibited strong microbial proliferation for all four kinds of bronchus disease-inducing bacteria and was higher than that of non-fermented PGR extract. MIC of fermented PGR extract by L. plantarum N56-12 on C. diphtheriae, K. pneumoniae, S. aureus, and S. pyogenes were 45, 10, 50, and 25 mg/mL, respectively. Thus, this result shows that the antimicrobial activities of bronchus disease-inducing bacteria and platycoside content of PGR by L. plantarum N56-12 were higher than that of non-fermented PGR extract.

This study was conducted to develop an edible culture media with various types of cereals and soybeans for the pre-cultivation of lactic acid bacteria (LAB). To manufacture the edible culture media, LAB enrichment media were prepared using cereals such as brown rice (including germinated brown rice, glutinous brown rice, and germinated glutinous brown rice), yellow soybeans (including yellow soybeans, hulled yellow soybeans, germinated yellow soybeans, hulled and germinated yellow soybeans), and black soybeans (black soybeans, hulled black soybeans, germinated black soybeans, hulled and germinated black soybeans). Seven species of LAB were used in the experiment: Lactobacillus (Lb.) farciminis, Lb. homohiochii, Lb. pentosus, Lb. plantarum, Leuconostoc (Leu.) paramesenteroides, Leu. citreum, and Leu. lactis. For edible culture media from cereals, the average viable cell count of the seven starter cultures was 7.6~8.0 log CFU/mL, while that of the MRS culture medium, a synthetic medium, was 9.2 log CFU/mL; thus proliferation was lower by about 1~2 log CFU/mL in starter cultures from cereals compared to the synthetic medium. In the case of the edible culture media from soybeans, most bacteria showed higher proliferation in the hulled and germinated soybean media. In particular, Lb. plantarum showed the highest cell count at 10.08 log CFU/mL. In the case of edible culture media from black soybeans, the proliferation rate was higher in the hulled and germinated black soybean medium. Lb. homohiochii showed the highest proliferation in the hulled and germinated black soybean medium at 9.90 log CFU/mL. All results show that edible culture media using cereals and soybeans are generally good for LAB. Especially, hulled and germinated black soybeans are optimal for the pre-cultivation of LAB medium.

The studies were carried out to optimize a new starter for bread fermentation. Two strains of lactic acid bacteria and yeast were isolated from Kimchi. These strains showed good condition for quality bread fermented. The strains identified as Leuconostoc mesenteroides, Lactobacillus brevis, Saccharomyces fermentati and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The mixed culture of four strains was due to the synergistic effect by interaction of these strains.

발효식품에서 분리한 젖산균인 Lactobacillus plantarum(NFS #6-6과 S #3)의 발효소시지에서 starter culture로의 이용가능성을 알아보기 위하여 상업용 혼합 starter culture인 SL(Staphylococcus carnosus+ Lactobacillus pentosus)을 비교구로하여 발효소시지를 제조하고 그 특성을 상호 비교하였다. 발효 및 숙성 중 변화에서 starter culture의 종류에 관계없이 최종 43~45%의 수분이 증발되었다. PH는 SL 처리구가 가장 낮은 4.3 수준이었으며 수분활성도 역시 0.88로 SL 처리구가 가장 낮았다. 색도에서 적색도는 SL 처리구보다 NFS #6-6과 S #3 처리구가 더 높았으며 텍스쳐, 지방산, 그리고 유리아미노산의 변화에서 starter culture에 따른 차이점은 없었다. 관능평가시 색깔에서는 NFS #6-6 처리구가 SL 처리구에 비하여 낮았으나 향기, 맛, 텍스쳐와 기호도에있어서는 SL과 비슷한 결과를 나타내었다. 유산균수는 발효 2일째 급격히 증가하는 추세($10^8 cfu/g이상)였으나 S #3과 NFS #6-6이 더욱 빠른 성장을 보였으며 Step. aureus는 모든 처리구에서 검출되지 않았다. 장내세균의 경우 SL 처리구에 비하여 우수하여 S #3 처리구는 3일째, NFS #6-6 처리구는 8일째부터 검출되지 않았으며 Listeria 역시 SL처리구보다 우수한 억제력을 나타내었다.

The WL6 strain isolated from Kimchi could not be made scientific name because it was identified as three species, i.e., Leuconostoc mesenternides ssp cremoris, Leu. mesenteroides ssp. dextranicum or Lactobacillus bifermentans when it was tested by API kit or Biolog system methods. The unidentifiable WL6 strain was finally reclassified as Lactobacillus bifermentans by genetic identification using two PCR-based specific sequence primer sets which were originated from homologous pepN and 16S rRNA genes.

The quality and microbiological characteristics of various Mul-kimchi prepared with addition of 0.02, 0.05, and 0.1% (w/v) chlorella water extract (CWE) were investigated during fermentation for 7 days at $10^{\circ}C$. The addition of CWE powder stimulated the growth of lactic acid bacteria and considerably improved the acid production. After 6 days fermentation, titratable acidity of CWE Mul-kimchi was 0.16-0.19% and was higher than that (0.14%) of Mul-kimchi made without CWE. The lactic acid bacterial counts were increased rapidly in CWE Mul-kimchi during fermentation for 4 days. The sensory quality of Mul-kimchi added with 0.05-0.1% CWE powder lightly enhanced in taste and overall acceptability among the tested Mul-kimchis preparations. When CWE Mul-kimchi preparations fermented for 6 days were incubated at $4^{\circ}C$ for 15 days, their titratable acidities were continuously increased up to 0.21-0.26% but number of viable lactic acid bacteria were well maintained above $10^7CFU/g$ through storage period.

The acidity of soy curd fermented by lactic acid bacteria is a major factor degrading the sensory properties of soy curd. For preparation of soy curd with low sour taste, lactic acid bacteria were separated from kimchi. The lactic acid bacteria which showed yellow-clear zone around the colonies on BCP plate and formed soy curd with low level of acidity were selected. The selected strain was analyzed by 16S rDNA sequence and named as Pediococcus inopinatus Y2. The maximum viable cell number of the soy curd fermented by P. inopinatus Y2 was obtained at 10.73 log CFU/mL at $25^{\circ}C$ for 24 h of fermentation. By the results of panel test, the overall sensory quality of the soy curd produced by P. inopinatus Y2 was higher than that of Leuconostoc mesenteroides No. 4395 and Lactobacillus sakei strain No. 383.

ABSTRACT - This study was performed to investigate the possible effect of Lactobacillus spp. on the growth and citrinin production by Penicillium citrinum. Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Lactobacillus casei were grown with Pen. citrinum in modified APT broth containing 7% of glucose and incubated at $30^{\circ}C$ for 15 days. Four inoculation procedures were used; (a) Lactobacillus spp. and Pen. citrinum were grown alone(Pc, Lb, and Lc), (b) both organisms were added simultaneously(ST; Pc+Lb and Pc+Lc), (c) Lactobacillus spp. was grown 3 days, then conidia of Pen. citrinum were added(LbPc and LcPc), and (d) Pen. citrinum was grown 3 days, then Lactbacillus spp. was added (PcLb and PcLc). At 0, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15 days of incubation, the growth of each organism, pH and total acidity of broth, and content of citrinin were determined. Lactobacillus spp. and Pen. citrinum, when grown associatively, influenced the growth of each other. It was observed that slower growth of Pen. citrinum when in the presence of Lactobacillus spp. than when the mold grew alone. Production of citrinin by Pen. citrinum was markedly less in the mixed culture. No apparent growth and toxin production was observed when the Lactobacillus spp. was grown 3 days, then conidia of Pen. citrinum were added(LbPc and LcPc). The above results indicate that another microorganism or competing microflora in the culture can affect the behavior of Pen. citrinum.trinum.
