  • 최근 국내의 흑염소 사육량과 소비량이 지속적으로 증가하고 있다. 흑염소 사육방식 또한 대량화, 밀집화 형태로 변화하는 추세이며, 이에 따라 다양한 전염성 질병이 흑염소 농장에 발생하고 있다. 그중 소형 반추류에 발생하는 건락성 림프절염은 국내 흑염소 농장에서 유병률이 50% 이상에 이를 정도로 빈발하고 있으나 현재 마땅한 제어 방법이 없는 실정이다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 흑염소의 대표적인 세균성 질병인 건락성 림프절염의 제어를 위한 노력의 일환으로 원인균인 Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis(C. pseudotuberculosis)에 효과적인 소독제를 확인하고자 하였다. 국내 시판되고 있는 축산용 소독제를 유효성분으로 구분하여 6종의 소독제에 대하여 소독제 효력시험을 수행하였다. 실험 대상으로 선정된 6종의 소독제는 산성제(구연산, Citric acid), 할로겐계(이염화이소시아눌산나트륨, Sodium dichloroisocyanurate), 산소계(모노과황산칼륨화합물, Potassium monopersulfate triple salt), 염기제(황산구리수화물, Copper sulfate pentahydrate), 양이온성 세정제(4급 암모늄, Dialkyl dimethyl ammonium chloride), 염소계(차아염소산나트륨, Sodium hypochlorite)이다. 농림축산검역본부 소독제 효력시험지침에 준하여 실험한 결과, 경수 조건에서는 황산구리수화물을 제외한 모든 소독제가 소독제 효력시험지침에서 제시하는 기준인 99.99% 이상의 살균력을 보였으며, 유기물 조건에서 구연산, 모노과황산칼륨 화합물 및 4급 암모늄 제재의 3종만이 99.99% 이상의 살균력을 보였다. 표준 효력시험지침(30분)보다 짧은 시간(1분, 5분, 15분) 동안 처리 후 살균력을 확인하였을 때, 경수 조건에서는 이염화이소시아눌산나트륨, 모노과황산칼륨 화합물, 차아염소산나트륨 제재가 가장 효과가 좋았으며 1분간 처리 시에도 99.99% 이상의 살균력을 보였다. 유기물 조건의 경우에는 구연산과 4급 암모늄 제재가 가장 효과가 높았으며 5분간 처리 시에도 99.99% 이상 또는 근접하는 살균력을 유지하였다. 본 실험 결과를 종합하여 볼 때 축산용 소독제의 유효성분에 따라 C. pseudotuberculosis에 대한 살균력에 차이가 있으며 경수 및 유기물 조건에 따른 차이도 확인된다. 따라서 C. pseudotuberculosis에 효과적인 소독제 선정 및 활용을 통하여 흑염소 농장 내 환경 오염을 방지한다면 건락성 림프절염 저감화에 효과가 있을 것으로 기대된다.

  • In order to enhance the repair of defects in articular cartilage via cell therapy with autologous chondrocytes, as well as with periosteum-derived progenitor cells (PDPCs), silkworm hemolymph (SH) and a variety of cartilage-specific extracellular matrices (ECMs) including type II collagen, proline, chondroitin 4-sulfate, and chondroitin 6-sulfate were assessed with regard to their efficacy as media supplements. SH, a known anti-apoptotic agent, was found to enhance cell growth, as was shown by the results of a 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. According to the results of reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analyses, the cartilage-specific ECMs were found to stimulate the expression of hyaline cartilage-specific genes, most notably type II collagen and Sox9, in monolayer cultures of PDPCs.

  • In virucidal efficacy testing, the chemical inactivation cannot be determined for all viruses due to the difficulties or the inability to culture sufficiently or the risk of exposure to the viruses. Therefore, disinfectants against these viruses could be evaluated by different methods and surrogate viruses are used as alternative. In this study we developed a method for efficacy testing of veterinary disinfectants using one of the candidate surrogate viruses, bacteriophage MS2, as part of the research on the selection of surrogate viruses for efficiency of efficacy testing of veterinary disinfectants. This method is based on the Animal and Plant Quarantine Agency (APQA) guidelines for efficacy testing of veterinary disinfectants. Bacteriophage and disinfectant are reacted in suspension in accordance with the APQA guidelines and then a newly established double agar layer method is applied for the efficacy test. The double agar layer method is summarized as follows: 1) The bottom agar with 1.5% agar is boiled and cooled before poured into petri dishes at volume of 20 mL, and dried under biological safety cabinet. 2) The top agar with 0.7% agar is boiled and kept at 50℃ before E. coli culture was seeded. 3) The serially diluted bacteriophage MS2-disinfectant mixtures 0.05 mL and E. coli host 0.01 mL (OD600 0.2~0.3) are mixed with 5 mL of top agar and incubate them at 50℃ for 5 min for reaction. 4) The resulting mixture is poured over top of a bottom agar plate and rocked sufficiently to ensure that the top agar covers the entire surface of the bottom agar. 5) The double agar layer is then placed under biological safety cabinet to allow the agar layer to solidify and subsequently incubated at 37℃ for 24 hr. 6) Following incubation, the plates may be inspected for plaques and record results.

  • Ethaboxam[(RS)-N-(a-cyano-2-thenyl)-4-ethyl-2-(ethylamino)-1,3-thiazole-5-carboximide]은 난균강 미생물에 대하여 우수한 살균활성을 보이는 신규 살균제이다. Ethaboxam 원제와 몇 가지 ethaboxam 제형의 배추 뿌리혹병에 대한 방제효과를 조사하였다. Ethaboxam을 관주처리 하였을 때, 토양 1 L 당 8.33 mg 농도 처리구는 배추 뿌리의 혹 형성이 완전히 억제되었으며, $EC_{50}$ 값은 2.65 mg/L 토양이었다. Ethaboxam 5개 제형(10% 액상수화제, 15% 액상수화제, 2% 입제, 5% 입제, 25% 수화제) 그리고 ethaboxam과 metalaxyl 합제 제형(3%+1% 입제)의 배추 뿌리혹병 방제효과는 우수하였다. 이들 중 토양 관주처리 한 ethaboxam의 10% 및 15% 액상수화제, 토양 혼화처리 한 ethaboxam 2% 입제 제형은 다른 제형보다 배추 뿌리혹병에 대하여 더 우수한 방제효과를 보였다. 이들의 배추 뿌리혹병에 대한 $EC_{50}$ 값은 원제기준으로 토양 L 당 각각 3.72 mg(10% 액상수화제), 1.10 mg (15% 액상수화제), 4.95 mg (2% 입제) 이었다. 그러므로 실험한 ethaboxam 6개 제형 중에 15% 액상수화제가 배추 뿌리혹병에 대하여 가장 우수한 방제효과를 나타냄을 알 수 있었다. 이들 결과로부터 ethaboxam은 포장에서도 배추 뿌리혹병을 효과적으로 방제할 수 있으리라 생각되었다.

  • A new series comprising 7 analogs of N-(sulfanyl ethanoyl)-L-HSL derivatives, 2 analogs of N-(fluoroalkanoyl)-$_L$-HSL derivatives, N-(fluorosulfonyl)-L-HSL, and 2,2-dimethyl butanoyl HSL were synthesized using a solid-phase organic synthesis method. Each of the 11 synthesized compounds was analyzed using NMR and mass spectroscopies, and molecular modeling studies of the 11 ligands were performed using SYBYL packages. Thereafter, a bacterial test was designed to identify their quorum-sensing inhibition activity and antifouling efficacy. Most of the synthesized compounds were found to be effective as quorum-sensing antagonists, where antagonist screening revealed that 10 among the 11 synthesized ligands were able to antagonize the quorum sensing of A. tumefaciens.

  • Fumigants are used worldwide for control of biological agents that damage wooden cultural property. To establish a policy for fumigant use, biological evaluation of insects and microorganisms considering many factors is required. This study was performed to evaluate biological sensitivity and wood penetration of three fumigants applied for control of biological agents that damage wooden cultural properties in Korea. Among these, methyl bromide and ethylene oxide can control insects and fungi when exposed directly. However, they were unable to completely control biological agents within deeper parts of wood. Ethanedinitrile, which was developed as an alternative fumigant, exhibited outstanding wood penetration and biocidal efficacy. Further research involving various environmental conditions is warranted.

  • Metabolomics is an emerging technology which makes it possible to evaluate change of biological system in response to the physiological, environmental alterations. It has advantages in the simplicity and sensitivity to analyze metabolites since the researcher can use cutting edge instrument, such as mass spectrometry and simple sample preparation method compared to genomics or proteomics. Nowadays this technology has been tried in pharmaceutical area to investigate toxicity and efficacy of drug candidates and drugs in preclinical test. The metabolomic applications on the pharmaceutics for early prediction on toxicity and efficacy are described in this presentation. The multivariate analysis to get metabolic fingerprinting and its relations with the physiological changes are investigated with several drugs. Feasibility of metabolomic application for pharmaceutical area would be suggested from those researches.

  • The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of metabolites produced form Streptomyces rimosus in controlling the growth of sapwood - inhabiting fungi. In order to carry out this task, the following specific fungi were tested : sapstain fungi - Ceratocystis pilifera, Ceratocystis piceae, and Aureobasidium pullulans ; mold fungi - Trichoderma hazianum, Trichoderma viride, Penicillium cirtrinum, and Aspergillus niger. Based on the tests, the following observations can be drawn. 1. The conidial germination of sapstain and mold fungi was completely inhibited leaving a clear zone around the paper disc treated with metabolites. The best inhibition was observed in A. pullulans plate and the least in T. viride. 2. Concentration of SB medium for the production of metabolites from St, rimosus affected antifungal activity of metabolites against sapwood - inhabiting fungi. Metabolites prepared from 1/3${\times}$SB medium showed the best activity and the least activity was observed in metabolites form 1/4${\times}$medium. 3. in vivo and in vitro test using wood blocks, treatment of pine sapwood blocks with metabolites also inhibited conidial germination and thus prevented discoloration. 4. Treatment with metabolites did not change the macroscopic structure of wood and did not cause the discoloration of the surface of wood by pigments produced form St. rimosus. In conclusion the results of this study indicate that antifungal metabloites of St, rimosus could be used for the biological control of sapstain and mold fungi.
