This study was performed to compare the performance of Sanita-Kun dry medium culture plate with those of traditional culture medium and Petrifilm dry medium culture plate for the enumeration of the mesophilic aerobic bacteria in milk, ice cream, ham, and codfish fillet. Mesophilic aerobic bacteria were comparatively evaluated in milk, ice cream, ham, and codfish fillet using Sanita-Kun aerobic count (SAC), Petrifilm aerobic count (PAC), and traditional plate count agar (PCA) media. According to the results, all methods showed high correlations of 0.989~1.000 and no significant differences were observed for enumerating the mesophilic aerobic bacteria in the tested food products. SAC method was easier to perform and count colonies efficiently as compared to the PCA and PAC methods. Therefore, we concluded that the SAC method offers an acceptable alternative to the PCA and PAC methods for counting the mesophilic aerobic bacteria in milk, ice cream, ham, and codfish fillet products.

In order to investigate the microbiological contamination of spring water, we performed the standard plate count, coliform and psychrotrophilic bacteria in 109 spring waters in Seoul. Of 109 spring waters, geometirc mean standard plate count was 0.19 CFU/ml, and the highest in Mt. Boolam, 4..43 CFU/ml and Mt. Dobong, 3.86 CFU/ml, but not detected in Mt. Woomyun and Mt. Cheonggye. Four spring waters have shown over 100 CFU/ml in standard plate count. The geometric mean psychrotrophilic bacteria was 49.2 CFU/ml, the most prevalent spring water was Mt. Nam, 125 CFU/ml, the lowest Mt. Woomyeun. Among a total of 109, coliform was detected from 21 spring waters(19.3%) and the geometric mean of coliform was 0.005 MPN/100ml. The isolated genera of coliform were 7 isolates of E. coli(33%), 5 Klebsiella(24%), 4 Enterobacter(19%), 3 Citrobacter(14%) and 2 Serratia(10%), respectively. The 22 spring waters(20.2%) failed to meet the standard limits of drinking water based on regulation in Korea. The inappropriate rate of standard plate count in spring water was 4.5%, that of coliform was 81.1% and both of them was 13.6%. There was the significant correlation between standard plate count and psychrotrophilic bacteria in spring water(r=0.95, p<0.01).

직접생균수측정법(direct viable count; DVC)과 평판법(p1ate count; PC)을 이용하여 시판되고 있는 먹는샘물, 약수, 도시 인근 지역과 축산농가 밀집지역의 음용 지하수로부터 채수된 시료에 대하여 정략적 평가를 실시하였다. DVC법에 의한 생균수는 전균수(total direct count: TDC)의 약 30~80%, 평판법에 의한 생균수는 DVC의 약1~30%로 나타났다. 이와 같은 결과는 지하수내에 배양 불가능한(viable but non-culturable: VBNC)세균이 높은 비율로 존재함이라고 판단된다. 한편, 통상농도의 영양배지(nutrient broth; NB)와 이를 $10^-2 -2/배로 희석한 영양배지(diluted nutrient broth; DNB)및 R2A배지를 이용하여 계수한 결과, 통상농도의 NB배지에 비해 저영양배지인 DNB와 R2A에서 2~50배 이상 높은 계수치를 나타내었다. 이와 같은 결과로부터 지하수와 같이 빈영양한 환경 내에는 통상농도의 NB배지에서는 중식이 현저히 저해되고 저영양배지에서 중식 가능한 저영양세균이 다수 분포해 있음이라 판단되었다.

The objective of this study was to predict total bacteria count of pork meats by using the portable electronic nose systems developed throughout two stages of the prototypes. Total bacteria counts were measured for pork meats stored at $4^{\circ}C$ for 21days and compared with the signals of the electronic nose systems. PLS(Partial least square), PCR (Principal component regression), MLR (Multiple linear regression) models were developed for the prediction of total bacteria count of pork meats. The coefficient of determination ($R_p{^2}$) and root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP) for the models were 0.789 and 0.784 log CFU/g with the 1st system for the pork loin, 0.796 and 0.597 log CFU/g with the 2nd system for the pork belly, and 0.661 and 0.576 log CFU/g with the 2nd system for the pork loin respectively. The results show that the developed electronic system has potential to predict total bacteria count of pork meats.

The shelf lift of market milk should be determined based on the flavor which is influenced by environmental and sanitary conditions of dairy farm, milk processing plant, and storage and transportation facility as well as compositional quality, such as protein and fat, of the milk itself. The legal shelf life of market milk is often limited by microbiological quality, e.g. total bacterial count, coliform count, and food poisoning bacteria. The bacteria involved with milk spoilage and poisoning are originated from bacteria contaminating milk after pasteurization or spores surviving the heat treatment of pasteurization. The important factors which influence the shelf life of market milk are microbiological quality of raw milk, pasteurization condition, post-pasteurization contamination, and temperature during storage and transportation. The organoleptic quality and shelf life of market milk should be further improved by satisfying the consumer's taste, which depends on somatic cell count and bacterial count of milk, feed quality, foreign substance in milk, and physical treatment during processing and transportation.

Objectives: This study aims to provide basic data regarding the bacterial total plate count in the atmospheric environment for related studies. Methods: Total plate count and the identification of culturable bacteria in the atmospheric environment in Incheon took place in 2015 using periodic survey. Correlationship analysis was performed between the number of culturable bacteria and environmental elements. In addition, an estimation of novel bacterial species was undertaken using the similarities and phylogenetic tree based on the 16S rRNA gene. Results: The total plate count of culturable bacteria was on average $176CFU/m^3$, and did not exceed $610CFU/m^3$ in the atmospheric environment. Periodic monthly measuring of total plate count was highest in June at $293CFU/m^3$, while the lowest was in July at $125CFU/m^3$. Furthermore, as a result of the identification of culturable bacteria, the genera Arthrobacter and Kocuria were dominant, while novel bacterial taxa that belong to the genera Chryseobacterium and Herbiconiux were separated. Conclusion: The total number of culturable bacteria from the atmospheric environment in Korea is on average $176CFU/m^3$. In addition, the genera Arthrobacter and Kocuria dominate. The presence of novel bacterial taxa are expected in the atmospheric environment, such as belonging to the genera Chryseobacterium and Herbiconiux.

형광현미경을 이용한 기존의 직접생균수측정(DVC)법을 변형하여 산림토양의 각 층위에 분포하는 난배양성 토양세균의 정량적 평가를 시도하였다. 기존의 방법에서 사용된 DNA합성저해제(nalidixic acid; 100${\mu}g$/ml, pipemidic acid; 50 ${\mu}g$/ml, piromidic acid; 50 ${\mu}g$/ml)보다 5배 높은 농도를 사용한 결과 토양세균 군집의 세포분열이 배양24시간까지 분히 억제되어 기존의 DVC법보다 10배 이상 높은 계수치를 얻었다. 토양시료를 제균수로 원심 세척한 경우 DVC는 전균수(TDC)의 약 I% 미만을 나타내어 첨가된 기질의 이용능을 정확히 판정할 수 있었다. 형광현미경을 이용하여 DVC법에 의해 검출된 생균수는 전균수의 18-44%를 나타내었고, 평판법(PC)에 의해 계수된 생균수는 전균수의 1% 미만을 나타내어 DVC법이 평판법에 비해 100-2000배 이상 높은 계수치를 나타내었다. 이는 평판법으로는 배양할 수 없는 난배양성(VBNC)세균이 토양 내에 다수 존재해 있음으로 판단되었고, DVC법에 의해 난배양성 토양세균을 정량적으로 검출할 수 있는 가능성이 확인되었다. 영양기질로써 통상농도의 NB배지와 NB를 $10^{-2}$로 희석한 DNB배지를 사용하여 DVC법과 평판법에 의한 계수 결과를 비교한 결과 모든 시료에서 DNB배지에서의 생균수는 NB배지보다 5～10배 이상 높은 값을 나타내어 산림토양의 각 층위에 저영양세균(oligotrophic bacteria)이 다수 분포해 있음으로 추정되었다.

In examining bacterial growth on glass surfaces immersed in sea water, we found serious differences between enumeration methods. Therefore, we compared various methods and found sonication and direct count methods were superior to other methods. Since the direct count method was not suitable for long-term investigation, we chose the sonication method and confirmed that sonication periods 8 times for 30 seconds was optimal for the detachment of bacteria from glass surfaces.

This study monitored changes in the level of heterotrophic bacteria in the filtrate and investigated the effect of stagnant water on it, using a batch-operated, gravity-driven membrane system for household water treatment. The filtration test was carried out in the presence and absence of stagnant water in the filtrate line. The results showed that stagnant water accelerated the heterotrophic bacteria levels, measured by heterotrophic plate count, even though the heterotrophic plate count of the filtrate finally increased up to $10^5CFU/mL$ regardless of the presence of stagnant water. When the change in heterotrophic plate count of a batch was monitored over filtration time, heterotrophic plate count of the filtrate rapidly decreased within 5 min for each batch filtration. Biofilm formation on the filtrate line was observed in the presence of stagnant water. The biofilm fully covered the filtrate line and contained numerous microorganisms. During storage after filtration, heterotrophic plate count increased exponentially. To improve the filtrate quality of a filtration-based household water treatment system, therefore, the stagnant water in the filtrate line should be minimized, the filtrate produced at the first 5 min is recommended not to be used as potable water, and the storage of filtrate should be avoided.
