BSCX1 was an antimicrobial peptide produced by Bacillus subtilis cx1. Attempts were made to determine the location of inducing factor in the bacteriocin-sensitive cell affecting bacteriocin BSCX1 production. Mixed culture of the bacteriocin producer strain B. subtilis cx1 and its sensitive strain B. subtilis ATCC6633, increased production of bacteriocin BSCX1. The result suggested the presence of a bacteriocin inducing factor in the sensitive strain. The inducing factor was localized in the cell debris and intracellular fraction of B. subtilis ATCC6633. Bacteriocin BSCX1 inducing factor was found to be highly stable in the pH range 2.5-9.5, but inactivated within 3h over $50^{\circ}C$, and treatment with proteinase K destroyed its inducing activity, this result suggested that the inducing factor should be a proteinaceous nature.

Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6633 was grown in BHIB medium supplemented with $Mn^{2+}$ for 96 h at $37^{\circ}C$ in a shaker incubator. After removing the microbial biomass, a lipopeptide biosurfactant was extracted from the supernatant. Its structure was established by chemical and spectroscopy methods. The structure was confirmed by physical properties, such as Hydrophile-Lipophile Balance (HLB), surface activity and erythrocyte hemolytic capacity. The critical micelle concentration (cmc) and erythrocyte hemolytic capacity of the biosurfactant were compared to those of surfactants such as SDS, BC (benzalkonium chloride), TTAB (tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide) and HTAB (hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide). The maximum hemolytic effect for all surfactants mentioned was observed at concentrations above cmc. The maximum hemolytic effect of synthetic surfactants was more than that of the biosurfactant produced by B. subtilis ATCC 6633. Therefore, biosurfactant would be considered a suitable surface-active agent due to low toxicity to the membrane.

Cephem ring의 C-7위치에 aminothiazoly lmethoxyimino기를 가진 화합물들이 항균활성을 증가시키고, G(-)균의 외막투과성을 촉진시킬뿐 아니라 광범위항균 spectrum을 갖게 하고 $\beta$-lactamase에 안정하며 PBP(penicillin binding protein)에 대한 결합친화성을 증가시킨다는 보고에 따라 본 저자는 C-7위치에 cefotaxime구조와 같이 aminothiazolylmethoxyimino acetamido moiety를 고정시키고 항균활성을 증가시키기 위하여 약리활성이 기대되는 5-(substituted)-2H-tetrazole유도체들을 합성하여 C-3 위치에 도입시킨 새로운 화합물 7$\beta$-〔(z)-2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-2_(methoxyimino)acetamido〕-3-〔5-(substituted)tetrazol-2-yl〕 methyl-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid 유도체를 합성하여 B. subtilis ATCC 6633, M. luteus ATCC 1004, E. coli KCTC 1039, E. coli ESS, K. pncumonia KCTC 1560, P. aeruginosa IF0 13130, S. typhimurium KCTC 1925, S. typhimurium SL 1102, 및 C. albicans ATCC 10231 등의 균과 fungus에 대하여 기존의 cefotaxime과 cefazoline을 대조물질로 사용하여 항균력을 비교하였다. 이들 화합물들은 대체적으로 M. luteus ATCC 6633, E. coli ESS, S. typhimurium SL 1102 균에 대해서는 cefotaxime보다 항균력이 우수하였으나 P. aeruginosa IF0 13130에 대해서는 항균력이 저하되었고 cefazolin보다는 대체적으로 항균력이 우수하였다.

Two species of antimicrobial agent producing bacteria and one sensitive strain were isolated from soil. Those were identified as B. subtilis, B. licheniformis, and Curtobacterium sp. by morphological, biochemical, physiological and chemotaxonomic characteristics. These were designated as B. subtilis cx1, B. licheniformis cy2 and Curtobacterium sp. cf3, respectively. Antimicrobial agent produced by B. subtilis cx1 showed high antibacterial activity against gram positive bacteria including of B. subtilis, Curtobacterium sp., L. mesenteroids, Staphy. aureus, S. faecalis and even gram negative bacteria, P. aeruginosa. Antimicrobial agent from B. licheniformis cy2 showed slightly lower antimi crobial activity than that from B. subtilis cx1. These two strains showed maximum production of antimicrobial agents at 30oC for 9~21hr cultivation. Curtobacterium sp. cf3 showed more sensitive activity than a sensitive strain of B. subtilis ATCC 6633 which was same genus or species with the B. subtilis cx1 and B. subtilis cy2, when the antimicrobial agent producing strains, B. subtilis cx1 and B. subtilis cy2, were directly applied onto these sensitive lawns.

For the screening of residual antibiotics in foods, bioassays and microbiological inhibitor tests are commonly applied. These methods are tested by the various susceptibility of bacteria against different kinds of antibiotics. However, the sensitivity of bioassay is generally insufficient to detect some residual antibiotics at level of interest. This study was performed to investigate the detection limit of variable antibiotics of the bioassay and to improve the sensitivity to some antibiotics. The sensitivity of bioassay using Bacillus megaterium ATCC 9885, B. subtilis ATCC 6633, B. cereus ATCC 11778 and Geobacillus stearothermophilus ATCC 10149 was low in the detection of macrolides, quinolones, chloramphenicol, and monensin. On the contrary, Micrococcus luteus ATCC 9341 showed high sensitivity to macrolides and Escherichia coli ATCC 11303 was highly sensitive to quinolones and aminoglycosides. Consequently, both strains would be useful to improve sensitivity of bioassay with a wide detection range.

Crude extract of bioconverted linoleic acid using Pseudomonas aeruginosa PR3 was evaluated for its antibacterial activity against food-borne pathogenic bacteria. Crude extract showed antibacterial activity against four Gram-positive bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 6538), S. aureus (KCTC 1916), Listeria monocytogenes (ATCC 19166), and Bacillus subtilis (ATCC 6633), and one Gramnegative bacterium, Pseudomonas aeruginosa (KCTC 2004), with minimum inhibitory concentrations ranging from 750 to $1,500\;{\mu}g{\cdot}ml^{-1}$. S. aureus and B. subtilis were selected for growth inhibition assays with bioconverted linoleic acid. Major antibacterial effects occurred at lag phase.

A lysozyme is isolated and purified partially form the egg white of Korean native Ogol fowl(Natural monument No. 265) by the method of direct crystallization. The bacteriolytic activities of 1% lysozyme against Staphylococus aureus 57, Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6633, and Escherichia coli NIHJ-JC2 was investigated with or without some other antibacterial materials in the nutrient broth culture. According to the results, 1% lysozyme showed the appreciable bacterolytic activities of about 12-16% to the almost of bacteria cultured. The synergistic effect with the lysozyme and some antibacterial materials on the growth inhibition of the bacteria cultured exhibited higher in order of the 0.001% magnolol -22%, the 0.001% honokiol -14% against S. aureus and of the 0.0005% erythromcin -29%, the honokiol -22%, the magnolol -l7%, the 0.005% phospholipase -6% against E. coli. And that synergistic effect against B. subtilis showed a fairly high level of about 52% with the erythromycin but not any effect with others.

육류중에 잔류하는 항생물질 및 항균제를 검출하기 위해 본 실험에서는 3종의 균주 Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6633, Micrococcus luteus ATCC 9341, BAcillus cereus var. mycoides ATCC 11778을 사용하여 실험하였다. 시료의 clean-up은 항생·항균제의 물리화학적 성질을 고려하여 우선 McIlvaine buffer를 가하여 homogenize하고 hexane으로 defatting 시킨 후, chloroform으로 추출한 액과 Sep-Pak C18과 Bakerbond SPE carboxylic acid column에 흡착시킨 후 추출한 액을 각각 시험용액 A, B, C,로 하였다. 각 test solution을 paper disk를 사용하여 함균 배지에 올려놓고 overnight culture 후 inhibition pattern을 통해 여러 종류의 항생·항균제를 계통적으로 검출하였다. 본 실험에서 macrolide계와 tetracycline계 등은 0.1ppm 이하의 detection limit을 보였으며, penicillinrP는 0.001ppm이하의 높은 detection limit을 나타내므로서 시료중에 잔류하는 극미량까지도 검출할 수 있었다. 본 방법은 식육중의 잔류 항생·항균제를 동시에 간단하게 계통적으로 분류하는데 있어 좋은 방법이라고 생각되며 항생·항균제의 체계적인 1차 screening 수단으로서 유용한 방법이라 사료된다.

This study was conducted to determine the optimal extraction condition of temperatures and kinds of extraction solvent, and antimicrobial activity of ethanol extract of Quercus mongolica leaf and organic acid against foodborne microorganisms. The antimicrobial activity of ethanol extract at $60^{\circ}C$ for 6 hour against foodborne microorganisms was stronger than those at $30^{\circ}C\;and\;90^{\circ}C$. Also, the ethanol extract showed stronger antimicrobial activity than those of water and methanol extract. The minimal inhibitory concentrations of the ethanol extract of Quercus mongolica leaf against B. cereus and L. monocytogenes, was $62.5{\sim}125\;{\mu}g/mL$ but, the minimal inhibitory concentration was $250\;{\mu}g/mL$ against S. typhimurium and P. aeruginosa and over $500\;{\mu}g/mL$ against E. coli O157:H7, respectively. The minimal inhibitory concentrations of the lactic, citric, acetic acid and the ethanol extract of Quercus mongolica leaf against B. cereus and L. monocytogenes was 2500, 5000, 1250 and $125\;{\mu}g/mL$, respectively. The combined effect of each organic acid and the ethanol extract against B. cereus was not observed but, synergistic effect was observed against L. monocytogenes. In the meantime, when the ethanol extract was combined with each organic acid at sub-lethal concentration, the combination did not increase the inhibitory effect of the most active single compound alone against E. coli O157:H7, respectively.
