  • 탄저균은 그람양성 아포형성세균으로 탄저를 일으키는 원인균이다. Bacillus cereus그룹에 속하는 22종을 포함하여 Bacillus 속의 29종에서 탄저균을 검증할 수 있는 DNA 마커를 개발하고 이를 이용하여 B. cereus 그룹에서 탄저균만을 구분하였다. 한국산 탄저균 경주로부터 709 bp마커(KHTS)를 확보하였다. KHTS분절로부터 얻어진 internal primer set의 PCR 산물은 B. cereus 그룹의 다른 종으로부터 탄저균만을 구별하였다.

  • Bacillus cereus group comprising B. cereus, B. thuringiensis, and B. mycoides was differentiated by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and colony morphology. Prevalence of B. cereus group in rice and distribution of enterotoxin genes were determined as possible food poisoning agents. PCR using primers targeted for gyrB and cry genes could distinguish B. thuringiensis from B. cereus, and B. mycoides was differentiated by rhizoid morphological characteristics on nutrient agar. Among 136 rice and their processed products, prevalence of B. cereus group was 40%. B. cereus group consisted of 54 B. cereus, 11 B. thuringiensis, and 1 B. mycoides. Major isolates were B. cereus, with B. thuringiensis detected up to 10% among edible rice tested. Five enterotoxin genes, hbl, nhe, bceT, entFM, and cytK, were broadly distributed among B. cereus group, especially in B. cereus and B. thuringiensis. Prevalence of B. cereus group in rice and enterotoxin distribution suggest B. thuringiensis and B. cereus are toxigenic strain that should be controlled in rice and its products.

  • The Bacillus cereus group, also known as B. cereus sensu lato (B. cereus s.l.), is composed of various Bacillus species, some of which can cause diarrheal or emetic food poisoning. Several emerging highly heat-resistant Bacillus species have been identified, these include B. thermoamylovorans, B. sporothermodurans, and B. cytotoxicus NVH 391-98. Herein, we performed whole genome analysis of two thermotolerant Bacillus sp. isolates, Bacillus sp. B48 and Bacillus sp. B140, from an omelet with acacia leaves and fried rice, respectively. Phylogenomic analysis suggested that Bacillus sp. B48 and Bacillus sp. B140 are closely related to B. cereus and B. thuringiensis, respectively. Whole genome alignment of Bacillus sp. B48, Bacillus sp. B140, mesophilic strain B. cereus ATCC14579, and thermophilic strain B. cytotoxicus NVH 391-98 using the Mauve program revealed the presence of numerous homologous regions including genes responsible for heat shock in the dnaK gene cluster. However, the presence of a DUF4253 domain-containing protein was observed only in the genome of B. cereus ATCC14579 while the intracellular protease PfpI family was present only in the chromosome of B. cytotoxicus NVH 391-98. In addition, prophage Clp protease-like proteins were found in the genomes of both Bacillus sp. B48 and Bacillus sp. B140 but not in the genome of B. cereus ATCC14579. The genomic profiles of Bacillus sp. isolates were identified by using whole genome analysis especially those relating to heat-responsive gene clusters. The findings presented in this study lay the foundations for subsequent studies to reveal further insights into the molecular mechanisms of Bacillus species in terms of heat resistance mechanisms.

  • The objective of this study was to identify the fermentation characteristics of Bacillus thuringiensis and emetic, non-emetic Bacillus cereus using analytical profile index (API) test. Ten strains of B. thuringiensis and 10 strains of B. cereus including 3 strains of emetic type were used at the same concentrations. The differences of fermentation characteristics between the B. thuringiensis and B. cereus was not obvious, but the differences between the non-emetic and emetic B. cereus were distinctive. Seven among 50 substrates were negative for all non-emetic B. cereus strains and positive for all emetic strains, and three substrates among additional 12 substrates had the same tendency. From these differences, 3 emetic B. cereus strains were not indicated as B. cereus by API test. These results indicate that API test is not a suitable method to identify some strains of emetic B. cereus, and the distinctive differences in substrate utilization can be used to improve selective media.

  • Bacillus cereus is a gram-positive, rod-shaped, spore-forming bacterium that has been isolated from contaminated fermented soybean food products and from the environment. B. cereus produces diarrheal and emetic toxins and has caused many outbreaks of foodborne diseases. In this study, we investigated whether B. amyloliquefaciens RD7-7, isolated from rice doenjang (Korean fermented soybean paste), a traditional Korean fermented soybean food, shows antimicrobial activity against B. cereus and regulates its toxin gene expression. B. amyloliquefaciens RD7-7 exhibited strong antibacterial activity against B. cereus and inhibited the expression of B. cereus toxin-related genes (groEL, nheA, nheC, and entFM). We also found that addition of water extracts of soybean and buckwheat soksungjang (Korean fermented soybean paste made in a short time) fermented with B. amyloliquefaciens RD7-7 significantly reduced the growth and toxin expression of B. cereus. These results indicate that B. amyloliquefaciens RD7-7 could be used to control B. cereus growth and toxin production in the fermented soybean food industry. Our findings also provide a basis for the development of candidate biological control agents against B. cereus to improve the safety of fermented soybean food products.

  • A bacterium, which was named to be Bacillus cereus A-139, secreting auxin was isolated from the east coast sand dunes in Korea. The secretion of auxin was confirmed by HPLC. When cultured in LB broth, Bacillus cereus A-139 produced $16.12\;{\mu}$g/mL auxin after 8 days in LB broth. Bacillus cereus A-139 produced $49\;{\mu}$g/mL auxin and $162.6\;{\mu}$g/mL by the addition of 2% tryptone and 0.1% tryptophan, respectively. The root growth of Arabidopsis thaliana was retarded by Bacillus cereus A-139 culture broth up to 57% but the formation of lateral roots was increased up to almost twice after 4 days incubation. Also the formation of lateral roots of mung bean was increased up to 57% after 10 days incubation.

  • 호 알칼리성이며 고온성인 Bacillus cereus TA-11이 세포내로 생성하는 invertase의 생합성 조절 양상을 조사하였다. Bacillus cereus TA-11의 세포내 invertase는 10 mM sucrose의 180분 처리와 25 mM raffinose의 90분 처리에서 각각 효율적으로 유도되었다. 또한 glucose는 sucrose에 의한 invertase의 유도를 억제하였고 cAMP첨가는 catabolite repression을 감소시키지 못하였다.

  • 장류에서 식중독 미생물인 Bacillus cereus의 계수 방법상 문제점을 해결하기 위하여, B. cereus 선택 배지인 mannitol-egg york-polymyxin B (MYP)에서 자란 약 1,500개의 집락들을 형태적 차이에 따라 12종으로 분류하였다. 생화학 특성 및 16S rRNA 유전자의 염기서열 분석 결과 집락 주위로 환을 형성하는 직경 11~16 mm 크기의 집락들은 B. cereus 와 B. cereus subsp. cytotoxis로 동정되었고, 환을 형성하지 않아 B. cereus 계수에 포함시키지 않았던 직경 5 mm 크기의 분홍색 집락은 B. cereus로, 6.5 mm 크기의 이중환을 형성하여 B. cereus로 계수하기가 모호하였던 붉은색 집락은 B. cereus로 동정되었다. 나머지 세 종들은 Enterococcus sp., Brevibacillus sp., B. subtilis로 밝혀졌다. B. cereus로 동정된 9종 모두에서 적어도 한 종류 이상의 B. cereus 독소 유전자들을 함유하고 있었지만 다른 형태들에서는 발견되지 않았다.

  • 쌀밥의 미생물 안전성을 평가하기 위하여 쌀을 취반한 후 세균을 분석하였다. 전국에서 생산되는 생쌀 30개를 수집하여 취반 후에 중온성 호기성균과 MYP선택배지에서 Bacillus cereus group를 분리 동정하여 그의 분포도와 독소유전자를 분석하였다. 취반 직후의 쌀밥 27%에서 1-3 log CFU/g정도의 총 중온성 호기균과 거의 같은 정도로의 Bacillus spp.가 존재하는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 균이 검출되지 않은 시료들도 증균한 후에는 B. cereus group균들이 검출되어 사실상 대부분의 시료에서 Bacillus spp.가 분포하고 있는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이들 시료로부터 37개의 분리하여 동정한 균주는 B. thuringiensis, B. cereus, B. valismortis, B. pumilus, B. coagulans, B. licheniformis, Geobacillus stearo-thermophilus, Brevibacillus laterosporus 등으로 나타났다. 분리 균주중 20개(54%)의 분리주가 B. thuringiensis로 나타났고 그 다음으로 9개(27%)의 B. cereus이였다. 그리고 3개(8%)의 B. valismortis와 각각 1개(3%)의 B. pumilus, B. coagulans, B. licheniformis, Geobacillus stearothermophilus, Brevibacillus laterosporus이였다. B. thuringiensis는 모두에서 non-hemolytic toxin gene(nhe)을 가지고 있었고 9개의 B. cereus중 7균주가 emetic toxin 유전자를 함유하고 있었다. 따라서 쌀밥에는 B. thuringiensis가 B. cereus보다 더 높은 빈도로 분포되어 있고 B. cereus는 설사형 독소유전자 보다는 구토형 독소를 더 많이 가지고 있었다. 취반 후 쌀밥을 상온에서 보관하여 발생되는 B. cereus 식중독은 설사형보다 구토형일 가능성이 더 많을 것으로 보인다.

  • Bacillus cereus 1-1 균주는 광이 없는 호기적 환경에서 levulinic acid와 같은 저해제 처리 없이도 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA)를2 mM까지 생산하였다. B. cereus 1-1 균주는 TCY 배지에서 전 배양과 본 배양을 18시간 동안 지속하고, 배지의 pH가 6.8에 도달하는 대수기 후기에 acetic acid를 비롯한 유기산들을 16 mM 첨가하였을 때 많은 ALA를 생산하였으며, 본 배양 시작시 0.3% glucose를 첨가하는 것이 효과적이었다. Acetic acid 대신 glutamic acid를 첨가하였을 때 ALA 생산이 8시간 이상 지속되었고, $40\;{\mu}M$의 gabaculine을 첨가하면 생산이 현저히 저해되는 것으로 보아 B. cereus 1-1 균의 ALA 생산은 C-5 경로에 의함을 알 수 있었다.
