Rapid and reliable identification of microorganisms is a key for tracing the relationship between the target bacteria and related infectious diseases. Various identification methods such as classical phenotypic analysis, numerical taxonomic analysis, and DNA sequencing have been widely used to classify microorganisms in milk and dairy products. Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry (MS) identifies targeted bacteria in milk and milk products. Several studies have demonstrated that MALDI-TOF MS identification is an efficient and inexpensive method for the rapid and routine identification of isolated bacteria. MALDI-TOF MS could provide accurate identification of bacteria in milk and milk products at the serotype or strain level and enable antibiotic resistance profiling within minutes.

This study was conducted to evaluate the practical usefulness of the sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PACE) fingerprinting of whole cell proteins far the identification of lactic acid bacteria in Kimchi. SDS- PACE of whole cell proteins of the reference strains and lactic acid bacteria isolated from Kimchi yielded differential banding patterns that were highly specific fingerprints, thus making it possible to identify. Identification of the isolates from Kimchi was achieved by comparing the SDS-PAGE fingerprints of isolates to those of reference strains. In addition, the reliability of SDS-PAGE was examined by comparing the results with those of the APL 50 CHL system assay and 16S rRNA gene sequence. SDS-PACE assay showed a different identity to reference strains, while the APL 50 CHL system and 16S rRNA gene sequence could not distinguish a few strains. Therefore, SDS-PAGE of the whole cell proteins is a specific and a reliable method that will be useful for the identification of lactic acid bacteria in Kimchi to the species level, and can be used as an alternative or complementary identification method.

The isolation and identification of bacteria from freshwater plant root system were performed. Twenty four different strains were identified by microbiological identification system. Gram negative bacteria were isolated three times more than Gram positive ones. The ratio of rod and coccus was 11:1. The similarity above 0.5 was 37.5% from the tested samples in identification. Among these isolated bacteria, three dominant strains Pseudomonas cepacia JH10, Xanthomonas maltophilia JH12, Aeromonas salmonicida JH13 were selected to investigate biochemical properties and optimal growth conditions. These strains reached maximum growth after 24-36 hr of incubation in peptone broth, and their optimal temperature was 28$^{\circ}C$ and that of pH was between 7 and 8.

Background: The study was planned to show the status of indoor microorganisms and the status of the reduction device in the military dog clinic. Methods: Airborne microbes were analyzed according to the number of daily patient canines. For identification of bacteria, sampled bacteria was identified using VITEK^®2 and molecular method. The status of indoor microorganisms according to the operation of the ventilation system was analyzed. Results: Airborne bacteria and fungi concentrations were 1000.6 ± 800.7 CFU/m³ and 324.7 ± 245.8 CFU/m³. In the analysis using automated identification system, based on fluorescence biochemical test, VITEK^®2, mainly human pathogenic bacteria were identified. The three most frequently isolated genera were Kocuria (26.6%), Staphylococcus (24.48%), and Granulicatella (12.7%). The results analyzed by molecular method were detected in the order of Kocuria (22.6%), followed by Macrococcus (18.1%), Glutamicibacter (11.1%), and so on. When the ventilation system was operated appropriately, the airborne bacteria and fungi level were significantly decreased. Conclusion: Airborne bacteria in the clinic tend to increase with the number of canines. Human pathogenic bacteria were mainly detected in VITEK^®2, and relatively various bacteria were detected in molecular analysis. A decrease in the level of bacteria and fungi was observed with proper operation of the ventilation system.

Nowadays many people are concerned about being healthy, and many dairy products are taken as health supplementary foods. Among dairy products, kefir, also called as Tibet mushroom, is a yogurt fermented by kefir grain, which is a mixture of lactic acid bacteria and yeasts. Although there are many empirical evidences that kefir is very influential for human body, the exact reason is not definitively discovered. Therefore, it would be useful to understand characteristics of a kefir grain and to categorize bacteria in a kefir grain. In this paper, molecular biological apparatus such as PCR, electrophoresis, PCR purification, DNA sequencing were used to identify and classify the species of lactic acid bacteria and yeast in a kefir grain. We used PCR-based identification method using 16S rRNA primer and Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) primer. We identified 6 different species which were selected on different medium. In addition, observation with scanning electron microscope (SEM) enabled us to grasp an external shape of the kefir grain. Although we found a limited number of microbial species, more intensive research are needed for extensive identification of microorganism species in Korean kefir grain.

김치발효 중 Gram 양성세균 또는 유산균의 분리와 동정을 시도하였다. 종의 다양성은 분리배지와 온도에 영양을 받았고, 다양성은 온도가 낮아질수록 감소하는 경향이었다. MRS는 세균의 분리에 KM(김치재료로 만든 자연배지)은 종의 수를 파악 하는데 각각 적합하였다. 분리균의 동정은 Bergey's manual of Systematic Bacterio]ogy (1986)를 기초로 하여 작성한 이 분농생표(dichotomous Identification scheme)에 의하여 선행하였다. 각 온도(5, 15, $25^{\circ}C$)에서 동정된 Gram 양성세균은 Leuconostoc 5종, Streptococcus 4종, Pediococcus 3종, Bacillus 2종 그리고 Ltobacillms 18종이였다. 각 온도에서 출현 빈도가 높은 종은 $25^{\circ}C$에서 LactobaIlus ptantanmz, Streptococcµs faffinolactis, Leuconostoc maιnteroid, subsp mlsentιroides 이었고, $15^{\circ}C$에서 L. mesenteroides Lactobacillus fructosus, L. maen teroid,l.I subsp. mesent,roid, 이였고, $5^{\circ}C$ 에서 Leuconostoc sp.(65.2 빈도)에 의하여 이루어졌다. 그리고 각 온도에 따른 김치발효 중 지금까지 알려진 Pediococcus cerevisiae 와 Streptococcus faecalis는 분리되지 않았다.

Bacillus cereus group bacteria share a significant degree of genetic similarity. Thus, to differentiate and identify the Bacillus cereus group efficiently, a multiplex PCR method using the gyrB and groEL genes as diagnostic markers is suggested for simultaneous detection. The assay yielded a 400 bp amplicon for the groEL gene from all the B. cereus group bacteria, and a 253 bp amplicon from B. anthracis, 475 bp amplicon from B. cereus, 299 bp amplicon from B. thuringiensis, and 604 bp amplicon from B. mycoides for the gyrB gene. No nonspecific amplicons were observed with the DNA from 29 other pathogenic bacteria. The specificity and sensitivity of the B. cereus group identification using this multiplex PCR assay were evaluated with different kinds of food samples. In conclusion, the proposed multiplex PCR is a reliable, simple, rapid, and efficient method for the simultaneous identification of B. cereus group bacteria from food samples in a single tube.

Bacterial grain rot by Burkholderia gluae cause severe damage in seedling and grain of rice after heading season. This seed-borne pathogen play a role as first infection agent that could be cause disease following cropping season. Until now the direct isolation of the bacteria has some trouble by interference of other bacteria existed inside seed. This study established convenient identification method as simple isolation with KB medium from seed showing symptom and using PCR identification. By this isolation method, B. glumae was isolated from 40 to 50％ in brown rice and inner hull, however, there were saprophytic bacteria and fungi outer hull. In PCR identification with Ogf4 and Ogr3 primer to these 25 isolates, the amplified products were presented in all of the collections but not in 10 saprophytic germs. The isolation rate was constant to 3 months stored seeds. This result provide a rapid and convenient isolation and identification of B. glumae.

The database of metabolic fingerprints generated using the GIolog system of lactic acid bacteria isolated from kimchi, described by Lee et al. (8), was used for the identification of 75 Leuconostoc isolates. The test strains were isoalted using a selective isolation medium specific for the genus Leuconostoc and examined for their ability to oxidize carbon sources using the Biolog system. The results show that the 75 test strains were identified to the known Leuconostoce clusters. It is suggested that the Biolog system can be applied for rapid identification of lactic acid bacteria isolated from kimchi.
