When cheonggukjgang was manufactured using a Bacillus subtilis CH10-1 starter culture, a short-term fermentation for 14-18 hr appeared to be the optimal for the raw cheonggukjang to avoid the formation of a bitter taste and to contain a high concentration of free sugars, whereas a long-term fermentation for more than 4 days was the optimal for the cheonggukjang for stew in order to contain a high concentration of free amino and organic acids, which are responsible for sweet, savory, and bitter tastes present in stewed cheonggukjang, During activation of murine splenic T cells with phytohemagglutinin (PHA), the presence of either poly-$\gamma$-glutamic acid ($\gamma$-PGA) or partially hydrolyzed $\gamma$-PGA resulted in reduction in the level of interferon-$\gamma$ production and enhancement in the level of interleukin-5 production, possibly due to suppression of Th1 activity and augmentation of Th2 activity. Taken together these results indicate that the raw cheonggukjang and the cheonggukjang for stew are different in their quality and taste as well as immunomodulating activity.

The research was conducted(1) to confirm the agent(s) responsible for the antimicrobial activity contained in the fermented tomato juice with L. acidophilus(2) to extract and purify the antimicrobial agent(s)(3) to find the biological, physical and chemical properties of the agent(s). The following results were obtained and summarized as followings; 1. The agent responsible for the inhibitory activity was confirmed by both well assay method using fermented tomato juice with L. acidophilus and turbidimetric technique using the cell-free filtrate or neutralized filtrate of tomato acidohilus culture and found exerted antimicrobial agent other than lactic acid. 2. The procedures of purification : The isolation and purification of antimicrobial agent from the lyophilized acidophilus tomato culture were carried out by (1) methanol extraction (2) acetone extraction, (3) Sephadex G-50 gel filtration (4) paper chromatography and (5) thin layer chromatography. 3. The biological, physical and chemical properties of antimicrobial agent: The biological, physical, chemical properties of the purified antimicrobial agent were: (1) The antimicrobial activity was strong against test organisms; Bacillus subtilis(ATCC 6633), Escheichia coli(ATCC 25922), Staphylococcus aureus(ATCC 167), Pseudomonas fluorescens(KFCC 32394), Proteus vulgaris and Shigella dysenteriae. (2) The pH value of the agent was 2.0 and the inhibitory activity was lost when it was neutralized at 7.0 of pH and the agent was heat stable at $121^{\circ}C$ for 60 minutes. (3) The ultraviolet light absorption spectra of methanol-acetone extract and TLC fraction exhibited a maximum absorption at 260nm and 224nm respectively. (4) The most purified agent from TLC plate increased about 130-fold in activity. (5) The agent isolated from TLC plate was free from $H_2O_2$ or lactic acid. 4. Bioautographic assy: By means of bioautography of the agent on silica gel of TLC plate a strong inhibitory activity against B. subtilis was demonstrated. 5. Mass spectrometry: The agent obtained from TLC plate was analyzed by mass spectrometry which show the parent peak at m/e 264 suggesting the molecular weight of the compound and molecular group such as [$C_2H{^+}_4$], [CO], [CH=NH], [$C_3{H^}4_7$], [$\begin{array}{rcl}O\\{\parallel}\\CH_3-C\\\end{array}$], [$C_6-H{^+}_{11}$], [$C_5H{^+}_{11}$], [$\begin{array}{rcl}O\\{\parallel}\\C_5H_7-C^+\\\end{array}$] were suggested.

본 연구는 복합생균제(L. plantarum, B. subtilis, Saccharomyces cerevisiae)를 0%(CON, 대조군), 0.25%(PC1) 및 0.5%(PC2) 수준으로 급여하여 육계의 생산성, 장기 무게, 혈액 생화학적 성상 및 면역지표, 소화효소 활성도, 분의 미생물 군락 및 유해가스 발생에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위해 실시되었다. 복합생균제 급여는 체중 등과 같은 생산성에는 유의적 영향을 미치지 않았다. 간과 흉선 무게는 복합생균제 급여에 따른 영향이 없었으나, 소장 점막세포 무게는 PC1군에서 유의하게(P<0.05) 증가하였다. Glucose, cholesterol, AST, ALT 등과 같은 혈액 생화학성분은 복합생균제 급여에 따른 변화가 없었다. 분비형 면역글로불린 A(sIgA) 수준은 PC2군에서 대조군과 비교해 소장 점막세포에서 유의하게(P<0.05) 증가하였으며, 혈액에서도 PC2군에서 대조군보다 약 20% 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 혈액과 소장 점막세포의 IL-1β 수준은 복합생균제 급여에 따른 차이가 없었다. 또한, 복합생균제 급여가 소장 점막세포의 maltase, sucrase 및 leucine aminopeptidase 활성도에는 영향을 미치지 않았다. 한편 Lactobacillus 및 Saccharomyces cerevisiae cfu 수준은 복합생균제 0.5% 급여군에서 대조군보다 유의하게(P<0.05) 증가하였고, E. coli cfu 값은 감소하였다(P<0.05). 복합생균제 0.5% 급여 시 분에서 황화수소(H2S) 발생량은 유의하게(P<0.05) 감소하였으며, 메틸메르캅탄(CH3SH) 발생량 역시 50% 수준으로 낮았다. 결론적으로 복합생균제 급여(0.25% 및 0.5%)는 육계의 생산성에는 영향을 미치지 않았지만 0.5% 수준으로 급여할 경우 소장 점막세포의 sIgA 증가와 유익 미생물 균총의 증식을 유도하여 분의 유해가스 발생을 감소시키는 것으로 나타났다.
