수용성 치자(水溶性 梔子)(Ga. jasminoides의 열매)색소(色素)(등황색)(橙黃色)를 냉수(冷水)로 추출하여 함유시킨 yeast morphology agar(Difco)에 각종 효모균류(酵母菌類)를 배양하여 그들의 균집락(菌集落) 색깔변화를 관찰하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 치자배지(梔子培地)에서 증식(增殖)한 Ca. guilliermondii 와 Ca. lusitaniae 의 균집락(菌集落)은 $28^{\circ}C$에서 3일이내에 군청색(群靑色)을 띠었고, Ca. tropicalis와 Ca. viswanathii 등은 옅은 회색(灰色)을 띠었는데 Ca. viswanathii는 7일후에 군청색(群靑色)으로 변했다. Ca. krusei와 To. glabrata 등은 $1{\sim}2$주후 회색(灰色)내지 옅은 회청색(灰靑色)을 띠었고 Sa. cerevi-siae는 연두색을 띠었다. 그러나 Ca. albicans와 Ca. parapsilosis 등은 색깔변화가 없었고, 적색(赤色) 균집락(菌集落)의 Rhodotorula sp.도 변화가 없었다. 그러나 Cr. neofor-mans는 갈색(褐色) 내지 자갈색(紫褐色) 균집락(菌集落)을 형성해 다른 모든 균종(菌種)과 뚜렷하게 구별되어 기존(旣存) 선별동정배지(選別同定培地)인 caffeic acid 또는 dopamine배지(培地)를 대체할 수 있을 뿐 아니라 몇몇 Candida spp.의 특정적 색깔을 관찰할 수 있어서 치자배지(梔子培地)가 임상검체(臨床檢體)로부터 효모균종(酵母菌種)의 분리배양(分離培養)에 매우 유용하다고 생각한다.

순천대학교 지의류 은행(Lichen Bioresources Center)에서 571종의 지의류 내생 곰팡이를 분양받아 Candida albicans에 대한 항진균 활성을 조사하여 4종을 선정하였다. 선정된 4종의 지의류 내생 곰팡이의 배양액 내에 존재하는 항진균 활성을 알아보기 위해 disc diffusion method 방법을 이용한 결과 Stereocaulon sp. (1429,1430)가 C. albicans에 대한 항진균 활성이 가장 좋았으며, 다음으로는 Graphis sp. (1245), Cryptosporiopsis diversispora (0156) 순으로 활성이 좋게 나타났으며, 이들 지의류 내생곰팡이가 고체배지와 액체배지에서도 항진균 활성 물질을 생성하였다. 고체배지에서와 액체배지에서 공통적으로 활성이 있는 지의류 내생 곰팡이 배양액의 chloroform, ethyl acetate 용매 추출물의 C. albicans의 항진균 활성도를 측정한 결과 4종 모두 chloroform 추출물에서 높은 활성도를 나타냈다. Candida albicans, Candida glabrata, Candida tropicalis, Candida lusitaniae에 대한 항진균 활성은 Stereocaulon sp. (1429, 1430)의 chloroform 추출물에서 모두 98% 이상의 높은 저해율을 보였고 Stereocaulon sp. (1429) 배양액의 chloroform 추출액과 ethyl acetate 추출액을 GC/MS를 이용해 성분을 분석한 결과 hexadecanonic acid-methyl ester, 14-octadecenoic acid-methyl ester, octadecenoic acid-methyl ester가 새로운 항진균 물질일 가능성을 보여주었다.

Yeasts that are present in marine environments have evolved to survive hostile environments that are characterized by high exogenous salt content, high concentrations of inhibitory compounds, and low soluble carbon and nitrogen levels. Therefore, yeasts isolated from marine environments could have interesting characteristics for industrial applications. However, the application of marine yeast in research or industry is currently very limited owing to the lack of a suitable isolation method. Current methods for isolation suffer from fungal interference and/or low number of yeast isolates. In this paper, an efficient and non-laborious isolation method has been developed and successfully isolated large numbers of yeasts without bacterial or fungal growth. The new method includes a three-cycle enrichment step followed by an isolation step and a confirmation step. Using this method, 116 marine yeast strains were isolated from 14 marine samples collected in the UK, Egypt, and the USA. These strains were further evaluated for the utilization of fermentable sugars (glucose, xylose, mannitol, and galactose) using a phenotypic microarray assay. Seventeen strains with higher sugar utilization capacity than the reference terrestrial yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae NCYC 2592 were selected for identification by sequencing of the ITS and D1/D2 domains. These strains belonged to six species: S. cerevisiae, Candida tropicalis, Candida viswanathii, Wickerhamomyces anomalus, Candida glabrata, and Pichia kudriavzevii. The ability of these strains for improved sugar utilization using seawater-based media was confirmed and, therefore, they could potentially be utilized in fermentations using marine biomass in seawater media, particularly for the production of bioethanol and other biochemical products.

본 연구에서는 인체에 보다 안전한 천연 화장품보존제 발굴을 목표로 하여 인간유래 항균펩타이드 LL-37의 짧은 유사체인 FK-13을 화장품보존제로 사용하고자 연구를 진행하였다. 이를 위해 13개의 아미노산으로 구성된 FK-13 펩타이드를 고상 펩타이드 합성법로 합성하였고 reversed phase-high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC)로 정제 후 liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS)를 이용하여 순도와 분자량을 확인하였다. 합성된 FK-13을 이용하여 미생물에 대한 방부력을 검정하였고 화장품에 적용 가능성을 살펴보았다. FK-13은 3개의 그람-양성균 (Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus epidermidis)과 3개의 그람-음성균 (Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhimurium, Pseudomonas aeruginosa), 그리고 진균인 Candida glabrata 에서도 높은 항균 활성을 보였으며 넓은 항균활성 스펙트럼을 나타내었다. 이를 바탕으로 화장품보존제로서의 적합성을 확인하였다. 또한 FK-13은 고온에서 분자의 열안정성을 보였으며 기존의 천연 한방화장품 방부제 및 화학보존제들과의 항균활성 비교 실험에서도 보다 월등한 항균활성 효능을 나타내었다. 따라서 FK-13 펩타이드는 인체 친화적이고 효과적인 항균활성을 나타내므로, 기존 화학보존제를 대체할 새로운 천연 화장품보존제로 적용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

Objective: This study investigated the association of yeast species with improved aerobic stability of total mixed ration (TMR) silages with prolonged ensiling, and clarified the characteristics of yeast species and their role during aerobic deterioration. Methods: Whole crop corn (WCC) silages and TMR silages formulated with WCC were ensiled for 7, 14, 28, and 56 d and used for an aerobic stability test. Predominant yeast species were isolated from different periods and identified by sequencing analyses of the 26S rRNA gene D1/D2 domain. Characteristics (assimilation and tolerance) of the yeast species and their role during aerobic deterioration were investigated. Results: In addition to species of Candida glabrata and Pichia kudriavzevii (P. kudriavzevii) previously isolated in WCC and TMR, Pichia manshurica (P. manshurica), Candida ethanolica (C. ethanolica), and Zygosaccharomyces bailii (Z. bailii) isolated at great frequency during deterioration, were capable of assimilating lactic or acetic acid and tolerant to acetic acid and might function more in deteriorating TMR silages at early fermentation (7 d and 14 d). With ensiling prolonged to 28 d, silages became more (p<0.01) stable when exposed to air, coinciding with the inhibition of yeast to below the detection limit. Species of P. manshurica that were predominant in deteriorating WCC silages were not detectable in TMR silages. In addition, the predominant yeast species of Z. bailii in deteriorating TMR silages at later fermentation (28 d and 56 d) were not observed in both WCC and WCC silages. Conclusion: The inhibition of yeasts, particularly P. kudriavzevii, probably account for the improved aerobic stability of TMR silages at later fermentation. Fewer species seemed to be involved in aerobic deterioration of silages at later fermentation and Z. bailii was most likely to initiate the aerobic deterioration of TMR silages at later fermentation. The use of WCC in TMR might not influence the predominant yeast species during aerobic deterioration of TMR silages.

PURPOSE. This study incorporated the nanomaterial, nanostructured silver vanadate decorated with silver nanoparticles (AgVO₃), into heat-cured resin (HT) at concentrations of 2.5%, 5%, and 10% and compared the adhesion of multispecies biofilms, surface characteristics, and mechanical properties with conventional heat-cured (HT 0%) and printed resins. MATERIALS AND METHODS. AgVO₃ was incorporated in mass into HT powder. A denture base resin was used to obtain printed samples. Adhesion of a multispecies biofilm of Candida albicans, Candida glabrata, and Streptococcus mutans was evaluated by colony-forming units per milliliter (CFU/mL) and metabolic activity. Wettability, roughness, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to assess the physical characteristics of the surface. The mechanical properties of flexural strength and elastic modulus were tested. RESULTS. HT 10%-AgVO₃ showed efficacy against S. mutans; however, it favored C. albicans CFU/mL (P < .05). The printed resin showed a higher metabolically active biofilm than HT 0% (P < .05). There was no difference in wettability or roughness between groups (P > .05). Irregularities on the printed resin surface and pores in HT 5%-AgVO₃ were observed by SEM. HT 0% showed the highest flexural strength, and the resins incorporated with AgVO₃ had the highest elastic modulus (P < .05). CONCLUSION. The incorporation of 10% AgVO₃ into heat-cured resin provided antimicrobial activity against S. mutans in a multispecies biofilm did not affect the roughness or wettability but reduced flexural strength and increased elastic modulus. Printed resin showed higher irregularity, an active biofilm, and lower flexural strength and elastic modulus than heat-cured resin.

The essential oil from the cones of Pinus koraiensis was prepared after removing the seeds, and its chemical composition analyzed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Hydrodistillation of the P. koraiensis cones yielded 1.07% (v/w) of essential oil, which was almost three times the amount of essential oil extracted from the needles of the same plant. Moreover, the antimicrobial activities of the oil against the growth of Gram-positive bacteria, Gram-negative bacteria, and fungi were evaluated using the agar disc diffusion method and broth microdilution method. Eighty-seven components, comprising about 96.8% of the total oil, were identified. The most abundant oil components were limonene (27.90%), ${\alpha}$-pinene (23.89%), ${\beta}$-pinene (12.02%), 3-carene(4.95%), ${\beta}$-myrcene (4.53%), isolongifolene (3.35%), (-)-bornyl acetate (2.02%), caryophyllene (1.71%), and camphene (1.54%). The essential oil was confirmed to have significant antimicrobial activities, especially against pathogenic fungal strains such as Candida glabrata YFCC 062 and Cryptococcus neoformans B 42419. Therefore, the present results indicate that the essential oil from the cones of Pinus koraiensis can be used in various ways as a nontoxic and environmentally friendly disinfectant.

The chemical compositions and antibacterial and antifungal activities of essential oils extracted from Abies holophylla and A. koreana were investigated. GC-MS analysis revealed that 38 compounds comprised 95.88% of the A. holophylla essential oil, with the main components being bicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-2-ol(28.05%), ${\delta}3$-carene(13.85%), $\alpha$-pinene(11.68%), camphene(10.41%), dl-limonene(7.61%), $\beta$-myrcene(7.11%), trans-caryophyllene(5.36%), and $\alpha$-bisabolol(3.67%). In the essential oil from A. koreana, 36 compounds comprised 98.67% of the oil, and the main compounds were bornyl ester(41.79%), camphene(15.31%), $\alpha$-pinene(11.19%), dl-limonene(8.58%), fenchyl acetate(5.55%), and $\alpha$-terpinene(2.29%). Both essential oils showed great potential of antibacterial activity against several bacteria tested, in the range of 2.2-$8.8{\mu}g$ per disc by the agar disc diffusion method, and minimal inhibitory concentration(MIC) values of 5.5-21.8 mg/ml by the microdilution method. Both oils showed very effective antifungal activities toward all pathogenic strains tested, including Candida glabrata, with MIC values in the range of 0.5-2.2 mg/ml. As a whole, A. koreana oil showed better antibacterial and antifungal properties than A. holophylla oil.

The chemical compositions, and antibacterial and antifungal effects of essential oils extracted from three coniferous species, Pinus densiflora, Cryptomeria japonica, and Chamaecyparis obtusa, were investigated. Gas chromatography mass analysis of the essential oils revealed that the major components and the percentage of each essential oil were 16.66% $\beta$-phellandrene and 14.85% $\alpha$-pinene in P. densiflora; 31.45% kaur-16-ene and 11.06% sabinene in C. japonica; and 18.75% bicyclo [2,2,1] heptan-2-ol and 17.41% 2-carene in Ch. obtusa. The antimicrobial assay by agar disc diffusion method showed that $2.2{\mu}g$ of Ch. obtusa oil inhibited most effectively the growth of Escherichia coli ATCC 33312 and Klebsiella oxytoca ATCC 10031, whereas the C. japonica oil gave weak antimicrobial activity. The minimal inhibitory concentration(MIC) values for bacterial strains were in the range of 5.45-21.8 mg/ml depending on essential oils, but most Gram-negative bacteria were resistant even at 21.8 mg oil/ml. P. densiflora oil showed the most effective antifungal activity and the MIC values for Cryptococcus neoformans B42419 and Candida glabrata YFCC 062CCM 11658 were as low as 0.545 and 2.18 mg/ml, respectively. Cryp. neoformans B42419 was the most sensitive to all essential oils in the range of 0.545-2.18 mg/ml. Our data clearly showed that the essential oils from the three conifers had effective antimicrobial activity, especially against fungi.
