B. subtilis 168 균주는 배양중 항균물질을 배지중으로 분비하며 배양상등액은 몇몇 그램 양성균을 저해한다. B. cereus와 L. monocytogenes의 저해 정도가 가장 컸었다. 배양상등액을 proteas와 proteinase K로 처리할 경우 항균력이 상실되어서 항균물질은 단백질성(박테리오신) 임을 알수있었다. Tricine SDS-PAGE에 의해서 박테리오신 분자량은 5 kDa으로 확인되었다. 박테리오신은 민감한 균을 죽임으로써 생육을 저해하는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 이상 결과들에서 B. subtilis 168은 청국장과 같은 B. cereus 오염이 문제되는 발효식품들의 종균으로 유용할 것으로 생각된다.

In this study, we isolated and characterized a bacteriocin-producing strain and two bacteriophages (P4, A3), showing antimicrobial effects against Clostridium perfringens, from chicken and swine feces by the spot-on-the lawn antagonism method. The selected strain was identified as Streptococcus hyointestinalis by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. The bacteriocin from the isolated strain exhibited strong inhibitory activity against four strains of C. perfringens and all the tested strains of Listeria monocytogenes, and the bacteriocin were highly heat- and pH-stable even at pH 2, pH 10 and $121^{\circ}C$ for 15 min. We also evaluated the combined effects of the isolated bacteriocin and phages. Combining the phage treatments and bacteriocin resulted in a synergetic effect compared with the phage or the bacteriocin alone. In addition, during the probiotic test, the bacteriocin-producing S. hyointestinalis B19 strain reduced the population of C. perfringens significantly. Treatment with S. hyointestinalis B19 and a cocktail of lytic bacteriophages eradicated the C. perfringens KCTC $3269^T$, completely. Consequently, the isolated bacteriocin and bacteriophages represent candidates for effective biocontrol of C. perfringens, and bacteriocin-producing S. hyointestinalis B19 is a potential probiotic candidate for use in domestic animals.

수집한 간장시료에서 형태학적인 특성에 따라 상이한 30주의 미생물을 분리하고 MRS 액체배지에서 $37^{\circ}C$, 24시간 배양한 후 회수한 배양 상등액 중 paper disc법으로 항균활성이있는 것을 일차 선별하여 proteinase K 처리에 의해 항균활성이 사라지는 시료 하나를 최종적으로 선별하였다. 선별한 분리주를 생화학적 분류와 분자계통학적 분류를 통해 동정한 결과 B. lichenifirnus로 나타났다. 이 균주의 생장온도와 배지의 초기 pH 에 따른 세포생장 및 박테리오신 활성을 조사한 결과 배양온도는 $37^{\circ}C$, 배지의 초기 pH는 7.0에서 박테리오신의 활성이 가장 높게 나타났다. B. lichenifirnus가 생산하는 박테리오신은 Bacill sogaerucey, Lactobacillus bulgaricus, Lactobacillus plantaum, Micrococcus Iateus, Paenibacillus polymyxa 및 Pediococcus dextrinicus 등에 대해서 항균활성을 보였으며, pH 3.0${\sim}$11.0에 이르는 거의 전 pH 영 역에서 20시간 이상 처리하여도 그 항균활성을 완전히 잃지 않아 비교적 넓은 pH 범위 내에서 안정함을 알 수 있었다. Acetone, acetonitrile, chloroform, ethanol 처리 및 $20{\sim}100^{\circ}C$C에서 60분간 가열시에도 높은 항균활성을 유지하였다. 여러 가수분해효소에 대한 내성을 조사한 결과 trypsin, a-chymotrypsin, pepsin, a -amylase 및 carboxypeptidase A 등은 항균활성에 영향을 주지 않았으나 lipase는 항균활성을 약간 감소시켰으며 proteinase K는 항균활성을 완전히 사라지게 하였다. 75% 황산암모늄 침전, 양이온교환크로마토그래피, 역상 HPLC 등의 과정을 통해 정제된 박테리오신의 상대비활성(specific activity)은 배양상등액에서 보다 약 75배 증가하였고 회수율은 13.5%였다. 역상 HPLC를 통해서 정제된 박테리오신의 분자량을 tricine SDS-PAGE을 통해서 확인한 결과 약 2.5 kDa으로 나타났으며 염색 시 단일 band로 나타나 순수하게 정제되었음을 확인하였다.

This study was carried out to characterize the antilisterial substances produced by Leuconostoc sp. W65 and to evaluate the effects of pH, temperature, and time on inhibitory activity using response surface methodology. Leucocin W65, an antilisterial substance produced by Leuconostoc sp. W65, markedly inhibited the growth of Listeria monocytogenes, L. innocua, and L. ivanovii, whereas other pathogens including Gram-negative bacteria were not susceptible. The pH was the most effective factor with regard to bacteriocin activity, while temperature and time of heat treatment had no significant effect. Fifty percent of inhibitory activity remained after 22.8 min at pH 4.2 and $121^{\circ}C$. Leucocin W65 was purified by ammonium sulfate precipitation, hydrophobic interaction chromatography, and tricine-SDS-PAGE. Compositional analysis originally estimated the peptide to be 56 amino acids in length without asparagine, glutamine, and tryptophane. The sequence of partial N-terminal amino acid residues of purified bacteriocin was identified as follows: $NH_{2}-XGXAGVXPXGGQQPXVPLXYP$.

Among various biological agents, bacteriocins are important candidates to control Listeria monocytogenes which is a foodborne pathogen. In this study, a novel bacteriocin, named agilicin C7, was isolated from Ligilactobacillus agilis C7 showing inhibitory activity against L. monocytogenes. Agilicin C7 biosynthesis gene was characterized by bioinformatics analyses and heterologously expressed in Escherichia coli for further study. The anti-listeria activity of recombinant agilicin C7 (r-agilicin C7) was lost by proteases and α-amylase, suggesting that agilicin C7 is a glycoprotein. r-Agilicin C7 has wide pH and thermal stability and is also stable in various organic solvents. It destroyed L. monocytogenes by damaging the integrity of the cell envelope. These properties of r-agilicin C7 indicate that agilicin C7 is a novel amylase-sensitive anti-listerial Class IId bacteriocin. Physicochemical stability and inhibitory activity against L. monocytogenes of r-agilicin C7 suggest that it can be applied to control L. monocytogenes in the food industry, including dairy and meat products.

Bacillus polyfermenticus SCD and polyfermenticin SCD, named tentatively as the bacteriocin produced by B. polyfermenticus SCD, showed antimicrobial activity against Helicobacter pylori KCTC 2948 growth. When crude polyfermenticin SCD was added to the growing H. pylori cells, viable cell numbers were reduced, indicating antimicrobial action. The antimicrobial effect was increased remarkably at higher concentrations of polyfermenticin SCD and longer exposure. Morphological changes were observed in the bacteriocin-treated cells; in the exponential phase, they appeared as shrunken rods, while in the stationary phase, they showed coccoid forms.

This study was conducted to isolate and characterize bacteriocin-producing bacteria against Clostridium perfringens (C. perfringens) from domestic animals to determine their usefulness as probiotics. Bacteriocin-producing bacteria were isolated from pig feces by the spot-on-lawn method. A total of 1,370 bacterial stains were isolated, and six were tentatively selected after identifying the inhibitory activity against the pathogenic indicator C. perfringens KCTC 3269 and KCTC 5100. The selected strains were identified as Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis) by 16s rRNA sequencing. Most of the isolated bacterial strains were resistant to 0.5% bile salts for 48 h and remained viable after 2 h at pH 3.0. Some E. faecalis also showed strong inhibitory activity against Listeria monocytogenes KCTC 3569, KCTC 3586 and KCTC 3710. In the present study, we finally selected E. faecalis AP 216 and AP 45 strain based on probiotic selection criteria such as antimicrobial activity against C. perfringens and tolerance to acid and bile salts. The bacteriocins of E. faecalis AP 216 and AP 45 strains were highly thermostable, showing anticlostridial activities even after incubation at $121^{\circ}C$ for 15 min. These bacteriocin-producing bacteria and/or bacteriocins could be used in feed manufacturing as probiotics as an alternative to antibiotics in the livestock industry.

Lactobacillus plantarum에 대해 항균활성을 지니는 유산균을 김치로부터 분리하였다. 이 균은 Leuconostoc mesenteroides으로 동정되었으며 Leuconostoc mesenteroides B7으로 명명하였다. Leuconostoc mesenteroides B7이 생산하는 박테리오신은(박테리오신 B7) pH 및 열 안정성이 뛰어나 pH $2.5{\sim}9.5$ 그리고 $4^{\circ}C{\sim}120^{\circ}C$ 열처리에서도 항균활성을 안정하게 유지하였다. 박테리오신 B7은 proteinase K, trypsin, ${\alpha}-chymotrypsin$, 그리고 protease 처리에 의해 항균활성이 실활되므로 peptide나 단백질로 이루진 구조임을 알 수 있었다. 정제된 박테리오신 B7은 Tricine-SDS-PAGE를 통하여 분자량이 약 3,500 dalton임을 확인하였다. Leuconostoc mesenteroides B7과 이에 감수성인 균주, Lb. plantarum KFRI 464 혹은 Lb. delbruekii KFRI 347와의 혼합배양에 의하여 박테리오신 B7 생산이 증가됨을 확인하였고, 이는 박테리오신 생산 유도물질이(inducing factor) 감수성균주내에 존재함을 시사한다. 감수성균주의 세포분획을 통하여 inducing factor는 감수성균주의 세포벽과 세포내에 존재함을 알았다. 이 inducing factor가 proteinase K처리로 박테리오신 유도활성을 상실함으로써 이는 단백질성물질임을 시사하였다.

박테리오신은 미생물이 생산하는 단백질성의 항균물질이다. 본 연구에서는 Enterococcus faecium CJNU 2008 균주로부터 생산되는 박테리오신에 대한 일부 특성을 규명하였다. 부분 정제 박테리오신은 열처리($100^{\circ}C$ 30분, $121^{\circ}C$ 15분) 및 유기용매(메탄올, 에탄올, 아세톤, 아세토니트릴, 클로로포름)에 대한 안정성이 우수하였으며 효소처리의 경우 Lipase와 ${\alpha}-amylase$에 대해서는 안정하였으나 Protease 처리에서 활성이 소실되었다. 이는 E. faecium CJNU 2008균주가 생산하는 항균물질이 단백질성의 박테리오신임을 추가적으로 증명하는 것이다. 병원성 세균인 Listeria monocytogenes 균주를 지시균으로 사용했을 때 박테리오신은 살균(bactericidal)의 작용양상을 보였다. Tricine-SDS-PAGE를 이용한 박테리오신의 분자량은 6.5 kDa 이하로 확인되었다. 부분 정제된 박테리오신을 이용하여 HPLC법을 활용한 정제를 수행하였으며 크로마토그램 상에서 단일 피크를 얻었을 수 있었다. 앞으로 정제된 박테리오신은 생화학적 분석 등에 활용할 계획이다.

The aim of this research was to identify candidate probiotic lactic bacteria among indigenous dadih lactic isolates. Dadih is an Indonesian traditional fermented milk of West Sumatra which is fermented naturally. Viability of the strain is critical in determining the capacity of lactic bacteria to induce immune stimulation as well as to colonize in the intestinal tract. Therefore, LAB are proposed to exert health promoting or probiotic effects in human, such as inhibition of pathogenic microflora, antimutagenic, and the reduction of cholesterol levels. This manuscript reports in vitro probiotic properties of indigenous dadih lactic bacteria, especially some important colonization factors in GI tract, such as lysozyme, acid and bile tolerance. Bile Salt Hydrolase (BSH) activity, spectrum of bacteriocin, and antimutagenic activity of bacterial cells were also assessed. Twenty dadih lactic isolates were screened further for their tolerance to low pH, at pH 2 and 3 as well as their bile tolerance. There were ten isolates classified as acid and bile acid tolerant, and further screened for lysozyme tolerance, BSH activity. The spectrum of bacteriocin activity of isolates was assayed using cell-free neutralized supernatants by agar spot test against variety of pathogens. Lc. lactis subsp. lactis IS-10285, IS-7386, IS-16183, IS-11857 and IS-29862, L. brevis IS-27560, IS-26958 and IS-23427, Leu.mesen.mesenteroides IS-27526, and L. casei IS-7257 each has good survival rate at low pH values and in the presence of lysozyme, and short lag time in the presence of 0.3 % oxgall. Lc. lactis subsp. lactis IS-11857 and IS-29862 each has high BHS activity, Lc. lactis subsp. lactis IS-10285 and IS-16183 each had a positive spectrum of bacteriocin activity against E. coli 3301 and Lysteria monocytogenes ATCC 19112, while L. brevis IS-26958 has high BHS activity as well as positive spectrum of bacteriocin against E. coli 3301, Lysteria monocytogenes ATCC 19112, and S. aureus IFO 3060. All of the ten dadih lactic strains performed in vitro acid and bile tolerance, indicating a possibility to reach the intestine alive, and display probiotic activities.
