The effects of Whangkumtang extract and Scutellariae radix extract on the microbial growth were investigated. The antimicrobial activities and cell growth inhibiting effects were investigated to selected strains with different concentrations of Whangkmtang and Scutellariae radix extracts. Whangkmtang and Scutellariae radix extracts showed the antimicrobial activities on Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus, Shigella sonnei, Shigella flexneri, Salmonella Typhimurium, Salmonella Enteritidis, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Escherichia coli O111 and Escherichia coli O126. Whangkumtang and Scutellariae radix extracts did not show the antimicrobial activity on Listeriamonocytogenes. Scutellariae radix extract showed the antimicrobial activity on Escherichia coli O157 but Whangkumtang extract did not, Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of Whangkumtang extract for each strain appeared to 40 mg/mL on Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus cerus, 100 mg/mL on Shigella Flexneri and Salmonella enteritidis. The MICs of Sutellariae radix extract appeared to 10 mg/mL on Bacillus cereus, 20 mg/UL on Staphylococn aureus, Shigellanexneri and Salmonella Enteritidis. Scutellariae radix extract showed the higher antimicrobial activity than Whangkumtang extract. The cell growth inhibitions by Whangkumtang and Scutellariae radix extracts were observed from Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus cereus, repectively, during 48-hr incubation period.

The effect of hot water and methanol extracts of 9 species from Korean mushrooms (Fomitopsis pinicola, Fomitella traxinea, Codyceps militaris, Phellinus linteus, Coriolus versicolor, Sparassis crispa, Ganoderma lucidum, Fomes fomentarius, Agaricus blazei) on the growth of Helicobacter pylori were examined using a Mueller-Hinton agar diffusion method. Hot water ($121^{\circ}C$) extracts from fruit bodies of F. traxinea, C. militaris, P. linteus, C. versicolor and F. pinicola showed $10{\sim}15\;mm$ inhibition zone against H. pylori. Methanol extracts of F. pinicola showed 44 mm inhibition zone, but another extracts showed no inhibition. Early fractions of DEAE-Sephadex A-25 column chromatography of methanol extracts from F. pinicola showed high inhibition activity against H. pylori.

Galla Rhois was extracted with various solvents such as ethyl alcohol, ethyl acetate, n-hexane, and n-butyl alcohol, and antibacterial activity of the extracts were also tested. The ethyl acetate extracted Galla Rhois showed high antibacterial activities and was the most effective extract, was further fractionated into 8 subfractions with silica gel column chromatography. The subfractions 4 and 5 exhibited an excellent antibacterial activity against Streptococcus iniac KCTC3657.

This study was investigated the antimicrobial activity of clove extracts according to extraction solvents. The extracts were tested for their antimicrobial activity against several food spoilage microorganisms including Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhimurium and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The methanol extract showed stronger antimicrobial activities than water extract. However, petroleum ether extract did not show antimicrobial activity. The water extract of clove showed growth inhibition effect against Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhimurium and Staphylococcus aureus, whereas no effect against Bacillus subtilis. The methanol extract of clove extracts showed more sensitive antimicrobial activity in Gram (+) bacteria than in Gram (-) bacteria. The antimicrobial activities were increased with increasing concentration of the clove extract.

Antimicrobial activity of bamboo leaves extract on microorganisms related to kimchi fermentation was investigated. Bamboo leaves were extracted with several ogranic solvents such as methanol, acetone, ethyl ether, and ethyl acetate. The bamboo extract with ethyl acetate showed the strongest antimicrobial activity among them. Strong antimicrobial activities of the extract against microorganisms related to kimchi fermentation and food spoilage indicated that the extract had a wide range of antimicrobial spectrum. The antimicrobial activity was especially strong against Brettanomyces custersii, Klebsiella oxytoca, Pichia membranaefaciens which cause kimchi softening. In addition, the antimicrobial activity of bamboo leaves extract was higher than that of 0.5% and 1.0% sorbic acid, and moreover it was stronger in pH 5 compared to pH 7.

The antibacterial activity of marine bacterium(Pseudomonas aeruginosa JYMB1-3) was assayed against Vibrio anguillarum with the aim of evaluating the possible use for biocontrolling fish disease as probiotic strain. Inhibition test on the solid medium showed that vibrios were especially sensitive to the JYMB1-3. Edwardsiella tarda, Streptococcus sp. and Staphylococcus epidermidis were also sensitive to that strain, however the antibacterial abilities were varied to the pathogens. The vibriostatic activity of antibacterial substance produced from $10^7$ cells of the strain for 24 hours was equivalent to $2.5{\mu}g$ of chloramphenicol.

The culture media from Fomitopsis pinicola were extracted by methanol and examined growth inhibition against Helicobacter pylori. The culture media from 8 days fermentation of F. pinicola showed maximum inhibition activity on H. pylori in 0.25 mg as MIC value. The highest activity against H. pylori by MHCS agar diffusion medium by Fp-P1 in 22.7 mm ID among 3 peaks from methanol fraction of 8 days culture media of Fomitopsis pinicola which purified by ion-exchange chromatography. The Fp-P1 from DEAE-Sephadex A-25 have been analysed by TLC as Fp-T1, Fp-T2 and Fp-T3 by ninhydrin staining. Fp-T3 (Rf value : 0.67) was higher activity against H. pylori in 14.4 mm ID. Fp-T3 was identified as single band by HPLC and TLC. It was assumed to aminosugar by BioLC analysis and TLC staining.

In the previous paper, we reported that the bacteriostatic effect of condensed phosphate. The present study was intended to observe influence of various environmental factors on the bacteriostatic effect of condensed phosphates in the laboratory media, in order to get the information on the possibility to use the phosphate as food preservative. Bacteriostatic effect of sodium polyphosphate was not reduced by the heating at 100 for 1 hour, but it was considerably decreased by heating at $121^{\circ}C$ for 15 min and the phosphate sensitivity of bacteria was increased by freezing and heating. On the other hand, the strong bacteriostatic activity of condensed phosphate was observed below pH 6.5 in nutrient broth culture, and the activity was decreased by the addition of $CaCl_2$, KCl and $MgSO_4$.

Aroma oils extracted from the natural material have antibacterial, antivirus, antiinflammatory, and preservative effect. The preserve efficacy testing between aroma oils and parabens as an artificial preservative had been performed and then it had been suggested that aroma oil was possibile to apply to the cosmetics. Aroma oils were pine, rosemary, lemon and eucalyptus, and parabens were methylparaben, blitylparaben. Antiseptic concentrations of aroma oils and parabens having 0.0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.4, 0.8, 1.0wt% were tested respectively. Escherichia coil(ATCC No.8739), Pseudomonas aeruginosa(ATCC No. 9027) which are gram-negative and Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC No. 6538), Bacillus subtilis(ATCC No. 6633) which are gram-positive were used as the test organisms. Disk paper and broth dilution methods were used as the methods of preservative efficacy testing. The antibacterial activity of aroma oils and parabens for gram-positive were better than that for gram-negative. For the antibacterial activity aroma oils were better than parabens. Among the aroma oils, rosemary and pine having superior antibacterial activity were selected and blended to illuminate if there is any synergy, There was synergical effect and optimum ratio of aroma blend is 3 : 1(rosemary pine) in this study.

It was known that normal-haemolymph from the 3rd instar larvae of Lucillia illustris contain a lysozyme (or lysozyme-like substance) with bactericidal activity to fram positive bacteria, and the bactericidal activity of injured-haemolymph was increased significantly after injuring the body wall. To elucidate the defence mechanism of insect against the nonpathogenic bacteria, the immune-haemolymph against Escherichia coli K-12 was prepared after immunization. The bactericidal activity between injured and immune-haemolymph was compared, and it was revealed that the immune-haemolymph showed higher titer of bactericidal activity to fram positive bacteria as well as to Escherichia coli. The bactericidal substance from the immune-haemolymph was purified through a successive chromatographies on Sephacryl S-300 and CM-Sepharose CL-6B, and it was characterized as a basic protein in nature with heat stable property at acidic conditions.
