  • A bioluminescent Lactobacillus plantarum (pLuc2) strain was constructed. The luminescent signal started to increase during the early exponential phase and reached its maximum in the mid-exponential phase in a batch culture of the strain. The signal detection sensitivity of the strain was the highest in PBS (phosphate buffered saline), followed by milk and MRS broth, indicating that the sensitivity was influenced by the matrix effect. The strain was used in millet seed fermentation which has a complex matrix and native lactic acid bacteria (LAB). The luminescent signal was gradually increased until 9 h during fermentation and abolished at 24 h, indicating that the strain could be specifically tracked in the complex matrix and microflora. Therefore, the bioluminescent labeling system can be used for monitoring LAB in food and dairy sciences and industries.

  • 본 연구에서는 유전자 재조합 발광 박테리아를 이용하여 농약에 대한 박테리아의 스트레스 반응과 세포 독성을 분석하였다. 15종류의 농약에 대하여 유전자 손상, 생물막 손상, 산화적 손상 및 단백질 손상을 측정할 수 있는 발광 박테리아와 독성 유무로 인한 세포 독성을 측정할 수 있는 발광 박테리아, 5종을 이용하여 스트레스 반응을 분류하고 세포 독성 정토를 분석하였다. 그 결과, 농약의 화학적 구조가 박테리아의 스트레스 반응에 영향을 미치며, 산화과정이 진행 됨에 따라 독성의 작용 기작이 변하는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 이와 같은, 유전자 재조합 발광 박테리아를 이용한 생물체내의 독성 메커니즘에 대한 분석은 생태계 유해물질들에 의한 독성을 분석하고 예상하기 위해 적용될 수 있을 것이다.

  • Vibrio, Photobacterium, Alteromonas and Xenorhabdus species are capable of emitting light, called bioluminescence. They exist in marine, freshwater and terrestrial environments. Bacterial bioluminescent reaction is that reduced riboflavin phosphates and a long-chain aldehyde are oxidized in the presence of molecular oxygen and enzyme luciferase. This experiment aims to develop the proper culture media and to optimize the storage condition for the recovery of bioluminescent activity in Photobacterium phosphoreum. The Luria broth (LB) medium was modified for cultivation of Photobacterium phophoreum, called as modified LB(mLB) medium. The mLB medium is LB fortified with 3% glycerol and 1.5% NaCl. In mLB medium. bacterial growth and bioluminescent activity are 25% higher than those in a Nutrient broth medium. When the cell stocks were stored at $-20^{\circ}C$, $-70^{\circ}C$ and LN2 for 3 months, cell growth and bioluminescent activity of culture after stored at $-20^{\circ}C$ were better than those of other treatments. The highest bioluminescent activity obtained at the late exponential phase in all treatments. When the cell stock was freeze-dried with 5% adonitol as a cryoprotectant, the recovery of cell was better than those of control and freeze-dried cell stock without addition of cryoprotectant.
