항균성 및 원적외선 방사량이 높은 원적외선 방사 항균 글라스 및 글라스 세라믹스의 양산화를 위한 유리 용융에 있어 대량용융의 가능성을 확인할 수 있었으며, 열처리온도는 5Li₂Oㆍ36CaOㆍ20TiO₂ㆍ27P₂O/sub 5/와 1Ag₂Oㆍ4Li₂Oㆍ36CaOㆍ20TiO₂ㆍ27P₂O/sub 5/ 조성에서 최적핵형성온도가 620℃, 최적결정성장온도가 각각 78℃, 800℃였다. 원가절감을 위산 건식법과 습식법의 결정상분석의 결과 피크의 차이는 거의 없었다. 이온교환의 경우 5.0mol AgNO₃수용액에 담지한 시편에서는 많은 LTP 결정상이 AgTP 결정상으로 변환되기 시작하여 1.0omol 농도의 AgNO₃ 수용액에서는 결정상의 주피크가 AgTP 절정상으로 변이 되었다. 이 결과로 AgNO₃ 수음액 0.5mol 농도 이상의 이온교환시 항균특성에 있어서도 매우 유리하리라 예상되어진다.

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.

The aim of this study was to investigate the antimicrobial characteristics of citral against Salmonella Typhimurium and Staphylococcus aureus. Antimicrobial activities were determined according to the citral concentration and initial pH. The tested citral concentrations were 0-1,000 ppm in tryptic soy broth (TSB) and 0-5,000 ppm in Angelica keiskei juice (NokJeup). The initial pHs tested were 4-7. Antimicrobial activities increased as citral concentration increased. S. aureus was more susceptible than S. Typhimurium during culture in TSB. But S. aureus was less susceptible to pH changes. Citral caused about 1-2 log reduction of S. aureus and 2-5 log reduction of S. Typhimurium after 10 min exposure at different pHs. As the citral concentration in the Algelica keiskei juice increased, S. aureus was easily inactivated but S. Typhimurium was not inactivated.

For the production of antifungal compound, strain B-1 was used as a strong producing strain among bacteria isolated from various soil samples. The optimum medium for the production of antifungal compound was PDB (potato starch 0.4%, dextrose 2％, pH5.1). The optimum conditions for the production of antifungal compound didn't affect on the carbon and nitrogen sources. The produced compound showed broad antimicrobial activity to the tested strains such as five fungi and four bacteria. The optimum pH and temperature of the production antifungal compound were pH 5.0 and 28$^{\circ}C$, respectively. Ether extrct (1$\mu\textrm{g}$/${\mu}\ell$) of culture broth was confirmed inhibitory zone by the thin layer chromatography and plate assay. The antimicrobial compound was unstabled after heat (121$^{\circ}C$) trsatment. Strain B-1 was mass cultured in a 5-liter tormentor, containing 3 liters of PDB medium at 28$^{\circ}C$, pH 5.0, 120 (pm with aeration (1L/min).

Recently sewage facilities mainly consisted of concrete structures are being deteriorated seriously by biodeterioration originated from sulfur-oxidizing bacteria. In this study, to prevent biochemical corrosion of the sewer concrete, antibiotics which prevent growth of sulfur-oxidizing bacteria were developed and antimicrobial performance of it was investigated. After that, to consider applicability of antibiotics to concrete, physical properties of concrete spread with antibiotics were investigated. As a results of the study, it was proved that the antimicrobial performance of antibiotics was available. Also compressive strength and bond strength of concrete didn't closely connected with antibiotics, and resistance to abrasion, water absorption and air permeability of concrete was improved remarkably by spraying with it.

In this study, poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and Poly(butylene-adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT) composite films containing calcined oyster shell powder (OSP) were evaluated for the applicability of antimicrobial packaging. PLA/PBAT-OSP composite films were prepared using twin-screw extruder. The OSP composite was incorporated into PLA/PBAT blend with different ratios (0, 1, 3, 5 and 10%) and the effect of OSP in the PLA/PBAT matrix was evaluated. The PLA/PBAT-OSP composite films were evaluated for properties using FT-IR, SEM, TGA, DSC, UTM, UV-vis, and Contact angle, as well as antimicrobial property was examined according to ISO 22196 - Antimicrobial Plastic Test. As OSP was added, it showed high antimicrobial activities for both Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus) and Gram-negative (Escherichia coli) bacteria. On the other hand, it was found that mechanical properties decreased as OSP was added. For the application of PLA/PBAT-OSP composite films as an antimicrobial packaging material, it is necessary to improve the dispersibility of OSP in the PLA/PBAT composite films and their physical properties at the same time.

By this time, insect antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have been characterized more than 150 peptides since purification of cecropin in the hemolymph of pupae from Hyalophora cecropia in 1980. Therefore, it is considered that insects are good sources of AMP selection. Insect AMPs are small (low molecular weight) and cationic, and amphipathic with variable length, sequence, and structure. They perform a pivotal role on humoral immunity in the insect innate immune system against invading pathogens such as bacteria, fungi, parasites, and viruses. Most of the insect AMPs are induced rapidly in the fat bodies and other specific tissues of insects after septic injury or immune challenge. Then the AMPs subsequently released into the hemolymph to act against microorganisms. These peptides have a broad antimicrobial spectrum against various microbes including anticancer activities. Insect AMPs could be divided into four families based on their structures and sequences. That is the α-helical peptides, cysteine-rich peptides, proline-rich peptides, and glycine-rich peptides/proteins. For instance, cecropins, insect defensins, proline-rich peptides, and attacins are common insect AMPs, but gloverins and moricins have been identified only in lepidopteran species. This review focuses on AMPs from insects and discusses current knowledge and recent progress with potential applications of insect AMPs.

몇몇의 박테리아들은 바이오필름을 형성하여 그들 스스로를 보호한다. 하지만 바이오필름으로 인해 악취와 질병 등의 문제가 많이 발생되고 있기 때문에 바이오필름을 형성하는 박테리아의 성장을 효율적으로 억제하기 위해 은 나노, 구리 나노입자들이 포함된 다양한 나노스케일의 재료들에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되어오고 있다. 이들 연구의 주된 목표는 체내에서 독성은 나타내지 않으면서 항균성을 증가시키는 것에 있다. 특히, 구형으로 이루어진 나노입자와 높은 종횡비를 가지는 탄소나노튜브와 같이 차원이 다른 나노물질들의 복합체들은 세포독성을 최소화하면서 특정 박테리아에 대한 항균성을 향상시킬지도 모른다. 이번 연구에서는, 산 처리된 탄소나노튜브에 화학적인 방법을 이용하여 구리 이온을 각각 환원시켜 구리 나노-탄소나노튜브 복합체를 합성하였다. 이들 복합체는 transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffractometry, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy 를 이용하여 특성이 분석되었고 Methylobacterium spp., Sphingomonas spp. 와 E. coli 에 대하여 항균성이 평가되었다. 추가적으로 구리 나노-탄소나노튜브 복합체는 human fibroblast cells 에 대하여 세포독성이 평가되었고 제작된 마이크로칩 안에 형성된 바이오필름의 성장억제효과가 평가되었다. 결과적으로, 구리 나노-탄소나노튜브 복합체에서 바이오필름을 형성하는 Methylobacterium spp. 에 대하여 특이적으로 항균성을 나타냈으며 바이오필름이 형성된 마이크로칩에서 바이오필름을 제거 하는 것이 확인되었다.

In order to development of new denture cleaners using natural antimicrobial agents, we have investigated various species of medicinal plants for the antimicrobial activity against Streptococcus matans and Candida albicans. Citrus extract showed significant antifungal activities in a dose-dependent manner against Candida albicans. Candidasis is also a common problem affecting older adults using full denture. We also developed liquid type denture cleaner formulation using citrus extracts.

Antifungal activities of domestic plants were examined to develop natural anti-microbial agents, able to protect onion from spoiling microorganisms during their storage. A fungus was isolated from spoiling onion and identified to Penicillium sp. ON-211, based on the morphological characteristics of conidiophore and conidia. Chloroform extracts of Juniperus chinesis Linnaeus, Juniperus. chi. var. horizontalis, water extract of Thujs orientalis Linnaeus' seed and the n-hexane extract of Juniperus. chi. var. horizontalis N. showed remarkable antifungal activties against this fungus.
