To investigate non-aflatoxin-production of A. oryzae at the molecular level, an aflatoxin biosynthesis gene homolog cluster of RIB 40 was analyzed. Although most genes in the corresponding cluster exhibited from 97 to 99 % similarity to those of Aspergillus flavus, three genes shared 93 % similarity or less. In addition, although slight expression of aflR, positive transcriptional regulator gene, was detected in some A. oryzae strains having seven aflatoxin biosynthesis homologous genes, other genes related to aflatoxin production were not detected. RIB strains were mainly divided into group 1, having seven aflatoxin biosynthesis homologous genes (aflT, nor-i, aflR, norA, avnA, verB, and vbs), and group 2, having three homologous (avnA, verB, and vbs). Partial aflatoxin homologous gene cluster of RIB62 from group 2 was sequenced and compared with that of RIB40 from group 1. RIB62 showed a large deletion upstream of ver-1 with more than half of the aflatoxin homologous gene cluster missing including aflR, a positive transcriptional regulatory gene. Adjacent to the deletion of the aflatoxin homologous gene cluster, RIB62 has a unique sequence of about 8kb and a telomere. Southern analysis of A. oryzae RIB strains with four kinds of probe derived from the unique sequence of RIB62 showed that all group 2 strains have identical hybridizing signals. Polymerase chain reaction with specific primer set designed to amplify the junction between ver-1 and the unique sequence of RIB62 resulted in the same size of DNA fragment only from group 2 strains. Based on these results, we developed a useful genetic tool that distinguishes A. oryzae group 2 strains from the other groups' strains and propose that it might have differentiated from the ancestral strains due to chromosomal breakage.

숙성된 김치로부터 항진균 활성을 나타내는 균주 1종과 감수성을 나타내는 곰팡이 1종을 분리하였다. 분리된 균주는 형태학적, 생화학적 특성 조사와 165 rRNA 염기서열 결정을 통한 균주 동정 결과 Lactobacillus plantarum AF1으로 명명하였고, 감수성 곰팡이는 ITS-5.8S rRNA 염기서열 분석을 통하여 Epicoccum nigrum KF-1으로 명명하였다. Dual culture overlay assay를 통한 Lb. plantarum AF1의 항진균 활성 실험 결과 A. ochraceus, A fumigatus, C. gossypiicola 등 식품 부패 곰팡이 및 병원성 곰팡이에 강한 생육 저해 활성을 나타내었다. 또한 항균 물질에 의한 항미생물 활성 범위를 측정한 결과 항진균 활성 외에도 식중독균주를 포함한 그람 양성 및 음성 세균들에 강한 저해 활성을 나타내어 Lb. plantarum AF1은 넓은 항미생물 활성 범위를 가지는 것을 알 수 있었다. Lb. plantarum AF1의 생육에 따른 항진균 활성을 측정한 결과 항진균 활성은 배양 20시간부터 최대 활성(3,200 AU/ml)을 나타내어 120시간까지 활성이 감소되지 않고 유지되었다. 항진균 물질의 안정성 실험을 통하여 AF1 항진균 물질은 산성의 pH(pH $3.0{\sim}4.0$)와 열에 안정한 물질이며, 단백분해효소 처리에 영향을 받지 않으므로 비단백질성 물질이거나 단백분해효소의 영향을 받지않는 구조의 물질임을 추정하였다. AF1 항진균 물질의 분자량을 예측하기 위하여 Lb. plantarum AF1의 배양액을 3,000 Da 이상과 이하의 분획으로 나누어 항진균 활성을 측정한 결과 AF1 항진균 물질은 분자량 3,000 Da 미만의 물질임을 확인하였다. 본 실험에서 분리한 김치유산균인 Lb. plantarum AF1은 넓은 범위의 항진균 활성 및 항세균 활성을 나타내므로 강력한 천연 식품보존제 및 사료보존제로서 활용이 기대된다.

Aflatoxins are produced by Aspergillus flavus, parasiticus that grows in improperly stored cereals. Aflatoxin $B_1\;(AFB_1)$ is a potent hepatocarcinogen in a variety of experimental animals including human beings. In spite of a high attention to the hepatocarcinogenecity of aflatoxins, the relative toxicity of other types $(AFB_2,\;AFG_1\;and\;AFG_2)$ of the toxins is not fully clarified. Sprague-Dawley male rats were orally administered with $AFB_1,\;AFB_2,\;AFG_1\;and\;AFG_2$ at the dose of 250, 1250, and $2500\;{\mu}g/kg$ body weight. Animals were then killed at 12, 24 or 48 hrs following aflatoxin adminstration. Subsequently the relative weight of liver was measured and histopathological examination on the liver was performed. Level of 8-OxodG and expression of ras gene in the liver was determined. The relative liver weights at high doses of $AFB_1\;and\;AFG_1$ was significantly low. The treatment of $AFB_1$ at the high dose of $2500\;{\mu}g/kg$ showed vacuolar degeneration and centrilobular hepatic necrosis with inflammatory cells. The pathological changes by $AFB_2\;AFG_1,\;and\;AFG_2$ were not clearly found. The formation of 8-OxodG by $AFB_1$ increased in a dose-dependent manner up to 24 hrs after a single treatment of $AFB_1$ thereafter decreased to the level of the control. The treatments of $AFB_2\;AFG_1,\;and\;AFG_2$ showed an inconsistent pattern in the formation of 8-OxodG in the liver of rats with increasing time. The expression of ras oncogene in the liver by $AFB_1$ at the dose of $1250\;{\mu}g/kg$ was increased twice compared to the control. The treatments of $AFB_2\;AFG_1,\;and\;AFG_2$ at all doses decreased the expression of ras in the liver. These results in the present study indicate that $AFB_1$ among aflatoxins with low comparable levels is the most toxic as determined by early biomarkers such as 8-OxodG formation and ras expression. However, the levels of 8-OxodG and ras as biomarkers were not useful to predict the relative hepatocarcinogenicity of aflatoxins to $AFB_1$ in the present model. Further studies are required to look for other biomarkers to predict carcinogenic potency of aflatoxins.

Mold grows more easily when humidity is higher in indoor spaces, and as such is found more often on wetted areas in housing such as walls, toilets, kitchens, and poorly managed spaces. However, there have been few studies that have specifically assessed the level of mold in the indoor spaces of water-damaged housing in the Republic of Korea. We investigated the levels of airborne mold according to the characteristics of water damage types and explored the correlation between the distribution of mold genera and the characteristics of households. Samplings were performed from January 2016 to June 2018 in 97 housing units with water leakage or condensation, or a history of flooding, and in 61 general housing units in the metropolitan and Busan area, respectively. Airborne mold was collected on MEA (Malt extract agar) at flow rate of 100 L/min for 1 min. After collection, the samples were incubated at $25^{\circ}C$ for 120 hours. The cultured samples were counted and corrected using a positive hole conversion table. The samples were then analyzed by single colony culture, DNA extraction, gene amplification, and sequencing. By type of housing, concentrations of airborne mold were highest in flooded housing, followed by water-leaked or highly condensed housings, and then general housing. In more than 50% of water-damaged housing, the level of airborne mold exceeded the guideline of Korea's Ministry of Environment ($500CFU/m^3$). Of particular concern was the fact that the I/O ratio of water-damaged housing was greater than 1, which could indicate that mold damage may occur indoors. The distribution patterns of the fungal species were as follows: Penicillium spp., Cladosporium spp. (14%), Aspergillus spp. (13%) and Alternaria spp. (3%), but significant differences of their levels in indoor spaces were not found. Our findings indicate that high levels of mold damage were found in housing with water damage, and Aspergillus flavus and Penicillium brevicompactum were more dominant in housing with high water activity. Comprehensive management of flooded or water-damaged housing is necessary to reduce fungal exposure.
