Four bacterial strains having inducible resistance to erythromycin were isolated from soil samples in Korea and characterized. MLS inducibility was checked in each strain. Cloning of inducible resistance gene(s) has been tried. Four isolates were identified as B. anthracis, Micrococcus luteus, Streptococcus faecium and B. licheniformis, in which erythromycin, oleandomycin, cirramycin and carbomycin acted as resistance inducers respectively. The resistance gene cloned from B, licheniformis 597 strain using pBS 42 vector was found to have a 3.2 kb insert.

Ten(10) strains of aerobic bacteria and two(2) strains of microaerobic bacteria were isolated out of soysauce which was brewed by the conventional process. The following bacteria were identified by studying their morphorogies and physiological characters. Bacillus pumillus-R-2; Bacillus subtilis var., aterimus-S-1; Bacillus licheriformis var-S-2; Bacillus subtilis-T-1; Sarcina maxima-T-2; Pediococcus acidi lactici-Z-2; Bacillus citreus var, . soyaB-Z-5. T-2 and Z-5 of the isolated bacteria were found good in growth even in the 24%-salted density, and Z-5 was more vigorous than T-2 though stinking. S-1 produced black-brown pigment from the medium containing various kinds of carbohydrate and the medium of soysauce which are available to S-1.
