The principal objective of this study was to compare the effects of whole and hydrolyzed cells (bifidobacteria) treated with gastrointestinal digestive enzymes on the activation of cloned macrophages. Seven different strains of Bifidobacterium obtained from swine, chickens, and rats, were digested with pepsin followed by pancreatin and the precipitate (insoluble fraction) and supernatant (soluble fraction) obtained via centrifugation. The RAW 264.7 murine macrophages were incubated with either whole cells, the precipitate, or supernatant at various concentrations. Pronounced increases in the levels of nitric oxide (NO), interleukin $(IL)-1{\beta}$, IL-6, IL-12, and tumor necrosis factor $(TNF)-{\alpha}$ were observed in the whole cells and precipitates, but these effects were less profound in the supernatants. The precipitates also evidenced a slight, but significant, inductive activity for NO and all tested cytokines, with the exception of $(TNF)-{\alpha}$ in the macrophage model as compared with the whole cells. By way of contrast, $(TNF)-{\alpha}$ production when cultured with whole cells (100 ng/ml) resulted in marked increases as compared with what was observed with the precipitates. The results of this study indicated, for the first time, that digested Bifidobacterium sp. can induce the production of NO and several cytokines in RAW 264.7 murine macrophage cells. In the current study, it was demonstrated that Bifidobacterium strains treated with digestive enzymes, as compared with whole cells, are capable of stimulating the induction of macrophage mediators, which reflects that they may be able to modulate the gastrointestinal immune functions of the host.

정제효소에 의해 locust bean gum galactomann을 가수분해하여 activated carbon column chromatography에 의해 당가수분해물을 분리 회수하여 TLC에 의해 주요 당가수분해물은 중합도 4와 6의 hetero type으로 확인되었으며 D.P. 4의 구조식은 비환원말단 mannose로 부터 2번째에 1분자의 galactose가 결합하고 있는 hetero type의 구조인 ${Gal^2}{Man_3}(6^2-mono-O-{\alpha}-D-galactopyranosyl-4-O-{\beta}-D-mannotriose)$로, D.P. 6의 구조식은 비환원말단 mannose로부터 4번째에 1분자의 galactose가 결합하고 있는 hetero type의 구조인 ${Gal^2}{Man_5}(6^2-mono-O-{\alpha}-D-galacto-pyranosyl-4-O-{\beta}-D-mannopentaose)$로 유추하고 있다. B. longum, B. bifidum, B. adolescentis, B. animalis, B. auglutum, B. breve의 생육활성에 대한 중합도 4와 6의 영향을 검토하기 위하여 modified-MRS배지 상에 탄소원으로 중합도 4와 6를 대체하여 생육활성을 비교한 결과 B. longum에서는 D.P 6 galactomannooligosaccharide를 탄소원으로 대체한 경우 표준 MRS배지와 비교하여 10배의, D.P. 4을 처리한 경우에도 7.6배의 상대 활성을 나타내어 가장 우수한 생육활성을 나타냈었으며, B. bifidum의 경우에서도 D.P 6에서 6.6배, D.P 4에서 4.8배의 활성을 나타내었으며 B. animalis에 있어서는 D.P. 6의 경우 3.8배의 상대활성을 나타내었다. Bifidobacterium 7균주 모두에 대해서 중합도 6의 올리고당이 중합도 4의 올리고당보다 생육활성에 크게 기여하는 것으로 나타났다. 신규 MRS 배지의 제품화와 관련하여 가장 유리한 탄소원 대체소재는 Bacillus sp. 유래 galactosyl mannooligosaccharide 인 ${Gal^3}{M_4}$가 가장 유리한 소재로 결정되어 신규 배지의 scale-up 공정을 구축중에 있다.

Schizandrae Fruits has been used as a traditional Oriental medicine for treatment of many stress-induced diseases. In the present study, we investigated inhibitory activity of enzymatic hydrolysate of Schizandrae fructus (SC-EX) in growth of tested intestinal microorganism and activity of bowel inflammation related enzyme. SC-EX was added to the proteose peptone-yeast extract-fildes (PYF) media to investigation the effect on the growth of type culture of intestinal microorganism. The growth of lactic acid bacteria such as Bifidobacterium species and Lactobacillus species was accelerated by more than 3% concentration of SC-EX. But, growth of harmfulness bacteria such as E.coli, Clostridium sp. Staphylococcus sp. Streptococcus sp. was inhibited by more than 3% concentration of SC-EX. Also, SC-EX was exhibited a concentration-dependent inhibitory activity of the bowel inflammation related enzymes. The SC-EX was showed 76% and 92% inhibitory activity of 5-lipoxygenase and cyclooygenase at 5% additional concentration respectively. Our results indicated that SC-EX may possess improvement effect on the intestinal flora and Anti-inflammatory effect on the bowel.

Bifidobacterium bifidum을 빵에 첨가하므로서 경제적으로 빵의 품질을 향상시킬 목적으로 밀가루 brew에 접종한 후 배양시키면서 반죽의 리올로지 성질, 성장곡선, 산 생성량 및 효모와의 공생관계에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. 밀가루 brew에서의 bifidobacteria 성장은 초기접종량 이상 증가되지 않고, 배양 24시간 동안 일정하게 유지되었다. 밀가루 brew에서 pH는 배양 12시간까지 계속 감소되었고 적정산도는 증가하였다. 밀가루 brew에서 배양된 bifidobacteria와 효모와의 공생효과는 적은 것으로 나타났다. 한편, 밀가루 brew에서 탈지분유 배지와는 달리 아세트산 보다 락트산이 더 많이 생성되었다. 밀가루 brew첨가가 반죽의 리올로지 성질에 미치는 영향을 보면, 파리노그람에서 밀가루 brew의 첨가량이 증가 할수록 원료 밀가루의 흡수율, 안정도 및 반죽시간이 감소하였다. 익스텐소그람에서도 첨가량이 증가함에 따라 저항성이 증가되고 신장성이 감소하여 R/E 비율이 증가되었으며, 동일 발효시간에서 약 2배의 증가율을 보였다. 이와 같은 반죽의 물성 변화는 발효시간을 단축할 수 있음을 의미한다. 호화특성에서는 밀가루 brew의 첨가량이 증가할수록 최고 점도는 급격히 낮아졌으며, 전분의 결정성과 관련이 있는 break down값 및 set back 값이 감소하여 첨가량이 증가함에 따라 노화가 지연될 수 있음을 시사하였다.

Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are used as fermentation starters in vegetable and dairy products and influence the pH and flavors of foods. For many centuries, LAB have been used to manufacture fermented foods; therefore, they are generally regarded as safe. LAB produce various substances, such as lactic acid, ${\beta}$-glucosidase, and ${\beta}$-galactosidase, making them useful as fermentation starters. Existing functional substances have been assessed as fermentation substrates for better component bioavailability or other functions. Representative materials that were bioconverted using LAB have been reported and include minor ginsenosides, ${\gamma}$-aminobutyric acid, equol, aglycones, bioactive isoflavones, genistein, and daidzein, among others. Fermentation mainly involves polyphenol and polysaccharide substrates and is conducted using bacterial strains such as Streptococcus thermophilus, Lactobacillus plantarum, and Bifidobacterium sp. In this review, we summarize recent studies of bioconversion using LAB and discuss future directions for this field.

The effect of levanheptaose produced by levanase from Streptomyces sp. 366L on principle intestinal microflora was investigated. The reaction product, levanheptaose, was used as a carbon source for various intestinal microflora. As a results, Bifidobacterium adolescentis, Lactobacillus acidophilus, and Eubacterium limosum grew effectively in the in vitro experiment, whereas Clostridium perfringens, E. coli, and Staphylococcus aureus did not. Therefore levanheptaose seems to promote selectively the growth of B. adolescentis and L. acidophilus. In the in vivo experiment, the effect of levanheptaose on the growth of intestinal microflora, $\beta$-fructosidase activity, pH, and butyrate concentration were examined in rats. Apparently, the number of fecal Bifidobacteria, the amount of butyrate, and $\beta$-fructosidase activity were increased, whereas total aerobes and pH were reduced in rats fed by levanheptaose diets, compared with those of control diets. We concluded that those effects may be beneficial in improving gastrointestinal health.

Ginsenosides have been regarded as the principal components responsible for the pharmacological and biological activities of ginseng. The transformation of ginsenosides with live lactic acid bacteria transformed ginsenosides Rb2 and Rc into Rd, but the reactions were slow. When the crude enzymes obtained from several lactic acid bacteria were used for transformation, those from Bifidobacterium sp. Int57 exhibited the most potent transforming activity of ginsenosides to compound K. In comparison, a relatively higher level of Rh2 was produced by the enzymes from Lactobacillus delbrueckii and Leuconostoc mesenteroides. These results suggest that it is feasible to develop a specific bioconversion process to obtain specific ginsenosides using the appropriate combination of ginsenoside substrates and specific microbial enzymes.

Some physical and physiological properties of di-D-fructofuranose dianhydrideIII (DFAIII), as a new sweetener, were investigated via in vitro experiments. The disaccharide was prepared by decomposing inulin with inulin fructotransferase (depolymerizing) from Arthrobacter sp. A-6. DFAIII had more excellent heat and acid stability than sucrose. This was one of the most desirable properties especially for the oligomer types of sweetener. DFAIII showed the least pH drop in the Streptococcus mutans culture, compared with the other saccharides examined. This indicates that the sugar will be fairly effective for preventing dental caries. The saccharide also had a selective Bifidus growth-promoting effect in PYF medium. Whereas, E. coli did not show growth promotion in the DFAIII-containing medium. In the co-culture of Bifidus longum and E. coli in the BL medium, Bifidus longum had a selective growth while the growth of E. coli appeared rather to be inhibited.
