The reaction of sulfhydryl groups in human serum ablumin with bacteriostatic and hypotensive notrosating agents such as sodium nitorprusside and sodium nitrite has been examined. The low reactivity of sodium nitroprusside to sulfhydral groups in albumin has been observed and the sterical inaccessilibility of the agent site which sulfhydryl group resides was implicated. The reaction of sodium nitrite with albumin was highly influenced by pH and little reactivity was observed at physiological pH. On the other hand, the reaction between albumin and S-nitrosoglutatione, an intermediate induced from the reaction of glutathione and nitrosating agents, resulted in the rapid decrease of free sulfhydryl groups in albumin. S-Nitrosylation of the sulfhydryl group by S-nitrosoglutathione and the subsequent production of mixed disulfide is the probable route of modification. In the physiological system, S-nitroso-glutathione may act as an active intermediate in expressing reacivity of nitrosating agents to sulfhydryl groups in albumin.

Glutathione was converted by $HNO_2$ into a S-nitrosothiol which was stable in solution and atypically so even as a solid. FAB/MS and IR data have been obtained for the confirmation of structure of S-nitrosogulathione in the crystalline state.

The physical and chemical characteristics of bacteriostatic water filter media are compared to granular activated carbon upon which a silver impregnated. Silver ion that has been chemically impregnated the activated carbon was the bactericidal agent in water filter media. Also, silver Ion that has teen chemically impregnated onto the activated acetate resin was the bactericidal agent in ultrasonic humidifier. Silver impregnated active carbon and silver cartridge will be able to the bactericidal agents for statical water.

Eighteen 2-aryl-3-(5-nitro-2-furyl) acrylamides were synthesized as antimicrobial agent, by the condensation of 2-(p-sulbstituted phenyl)-3-(5-nitro-2-furyl) acryloyl chloride with amino component, such as sulfisozxazole, sulfamethoxypyridazine and sulfadimethoxine. All compounds showed fair bacteriostatic activity against staphylococcus aureus 6538p, Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, and Klebsiella pneumoniae. 2-(p-Hydroxyphenyl)-and 2-(p-acetoxyphenyl) compounds also showed antimicrobial activity against Saccharomyces cerevisiae 396 and Aspergillus oryzae.

Bacillus amyloliquefaciens is an important plant disease-preventing and growth-promoting microorganism. B. amyloliquefaciens WS-8 can stimulate plant growth and has strong antifungal properties. In this study, we sequenced the complete genome of B. amyloliquefaciens WS-8 by Pacific Biosciences RSII (PacBio) Single Molecule Real-Time (SMRT) sequencing. The genome consists of one chromosome (3,929,787 bp) and no additional plasmids. The main bacteriostatic substances were determined by genome, transcriptome, and mass spectrometry data. We thereby laid a theoretical foundation for the utilization of the strain. By genomic analysis, we identified 19 putative biosynthetic gene clusters for secondary metabolites, most of which are potentially involved in the biosynthesis of numerous bioactive metabolites, including difficidin, fengycin, and surfactin. Furthermore, a potential class II lanthipeptide biosynthetic gene cluster and genes that are involved in auxin biosynthesis were found. Through the analysis of transcriptome data, we found that the key bacteriostatic genes, as predicted in the genome, exhibited different levels of mRNA expression. Through metabolite isolation, purification, and exposure experiments, we found that a variety of metabolites of WS-8 exert an inhibitory effect on the necrotrophic fungus Botrytis cinerea, which causes gray mold; by mass spectrometry, we found that the main substances are mainly iturins and fengycins. Therefore, this strain has the potential to be utilized as an antifungal agent in agriculture.

The cardiovascular drug nifedipine exhibited significant in vitro and in vivo antibacterial activity against 331 strains of bacteria belonging to three Gram-positive and twelve Gram-negative genera. The minimum inhibitory concentration of the drug, as determined both by agar and broth dilution methods, was seen to range from $25\;-\;200\;{\mu}g/ml$ against most test bacteria, including several pathogenic ones, in the in vitro studies. Nifedipine was bacteriostatic in action. in vivo studies with this drug showed that it could offer statistically significant protection (P < 0.001) to mice challenged with a virulent bacterium. Therefore, nifedipine has the potential of an antibacterial agent, which may be developed after further pharmacological studies.

Oral streptococci are considered as an opportunistic pathogen associated with initiation and progression of various oral diseases. However, since the currently-available treatments often accompany adverse effects, alternative strategy is demanded to control streptococci. In the current study, we investigated whether short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), including sodium acetate (NaA), sodium propionate (NaP), and sodium butyrate (NaB), can inhibit the growth of oral streptococci. Among the tested SCFAs, NaP most potently inhibited the growth of laboratory and clinically isolated strains of Streptococcus gordonii under anaerobic culture conditions. However, the growth inhibitory effect of NaP on six different species of other oral streptococci was different depending on their culture conditions. Metabolic changes such as alteration of methionine biosynthesis can affect bacterial growth. Indeed, NaP enhanced intracellular methionine levels of oral streptococci as well as the mRNA expression level of methionine biosynthesis-related genes. Collectively, these results suggest that NaP has an inhibitory effect on the growth of oral streptococci, which might be due to alteration of methionine biosynthesis. Thus, NaP can be used an effective bacteriostatic agent for the prevention of oral infectious diseases caused by oral streptococci.

가축 질병의 제어를 위해 면역증강제인 베타글루칸 생성균으로 분리한 Paenibacillus polymyxa JB115의 배양액이 가축병원성 세균에 대한 항균성을 보임에 따라, 배양액의 동결건조 분말을 대상으로 항균물질의 특성을 조사하여 다기능 가축 사료첨가제로의 개발 가능성을 타진하였다. 그 결과, P. polymyxa JB115에서 생산된 항균물질은 E. coli, S. aureus, S. choleraesuis 및 P. aeruginosa 등 가축 병원성 세균들에 대해 살균 또는 정균 활성을 보였으며, 항균범위도 광범위하게 나타났다. 또한 이 물질은 높은 내열성과 pH 안정성을 지녀 배양액의 제형화에도 적합하였으며, 인공 담즙산 및 인공 위액에서도 안정하여 사료첨가제로 투여시 가축의 장내 병원세균에 대해서 항균 활성을 충분히 나타낼 수 있을 것으로 판단되었다. 상기의 결과로부터 P. polymyxa JB115의 배양액은 베타글루칸 이외에도 가축 병원성 세균에 대한 항균물질을 지니고 있어서, 다기능 사료첨가제로 개발 가능함을 확인하였다.
