Peroxymonosulfate (PMS) in combination with Cu(II) was examined to inactivate E. coli and MS2 coliphage in natural water. The combined system (i.e., the Cu(II)/PMS system) caused a synergistic inactivation of E. coli and MS2, in contrast with either Cu(II) or PMS alone. Increasing the concentration of PMS enhanced the inactivation of E. coli and MS2, but after a certain point, it decreased the efficacy of the microbial inactivation. In the Cu(II)/PMS system, adding reactive oxidant scavengers marginally affected the E. coli inactivation, but the inhibitory effects of copper-chelating agents were significant. Fluorescent assays indicated that the Cu(II)/PMS system greatly increased the level of reactive oxidants inside the E. coli cells. The sequential addition of Cu(II) and PMS inactivated more E. coli than did adding the two simultaneously; in particular, the inactivation efficacy was much higher when Cu(II) was added first. The observations from the study collectively showed that the microbial inactivation by the Cu(II)/PMS system could be attributed to the toxicity of Cu(I) as well as the intracellular oxidative stress induced by Cu(III) or radical species.

다양한 유전형질을 갖고 있는 E. coli WP series, E. coli TK series 및 E. coli GW series 변이주들을 이용하여 chloropropanol의 변이원성 기구를 해석하였다. 3종류의 chloropropanol 모두 E. coli WP2s와 WP67에서는 돌연변이활성이 나타났으나 E. coli WP2와 CM611에서는 변이원성이 거의 나타나지 않았으며 2,3-DCP>3-MCPD>1,3-DCP 순으로 돌연변이 활성을 나타내었다. E. coli WP2s와 비교하여 E. coli WP2 $(WP2s\;uvrA^+)$에서 돌연변이활성이 크게 감소한 반면 균 생존율이 상당히 증가한 결과로부터 절제수복에 의해 쉽게 제거되는 DNA 손상임을 확인할 수 있었으며, E. coli CM611(WP2s lexA102)에서 돌연변이활성 및 균 생존율 모두 상당히 감소된 결과로부터 이들 물질에 의한 주요 DNA 손상이 SOS 수복 의존성임이 시사되었다. 또한 E. coli TK610 (umuC)에서의 돌연변이율과 균 생존율은 그 대조 균주인 E. coli TK603 $(umuC^+)$에 비하여 상당히 감소하여 chloropropanol에 의한 돌연변이 유발은 umuC가 관여하는 SOS 수복을 통하여 일어나는 것으로 확인되었다. E. coli GW1105 [lexA3 (Ind)]와 GW1107 [lexA51 (Def)] 두 균주에서 ${\beta}-galactosidase$의 활성이 chloropropnaol 첨가에 의해 변화하지 않았기 때문에 SOS 반응의 repressor로 작용하는 LexA에 대하여 chloropropnol이 직접적으로 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 chloropropanol에 의한 DNA 손상은 가장 기본적인 수복계라 할 수 있는 절제수복에 의하여 제거될 수 있으며, 돌연변이의 발생은 주로 SOS 수복계를 통하여 일어남을 확인할 수 있었다.

This study was performed to fabricate a batch-type SPR biosensing system using a thiolated E. coli antibody coupling, and to explore the feasibility of real-time detection of E. coii in a stagnant sample solution. In advance. “O” and “K” antigenic serotype E. coli antibodies were thiolated with sulfo-LC-SPDP and dithiothreitol, and immobilized by chemisorption in the gold surface of compact SPR sensors. When the SPR biosensor immobilized with E. coli antibody monitored a E. coli solution, it took 3 to 5 min to stabilize. The SPR biosensing system developed in this study was able to detect E. coli in the range above 10$^4$ CFU/mL at the 0.05 significant level. Also, the SPR biosensor had possibility to significantly detect E. coli in the range of 10$^2$ to 10$^4$ CFU/mL in E. coli solutions. Meanwhile, when the SPR biosensor immobilized with 5. coli antibody was cleaned with NaOH solutions, its ability to detect E. coli largely decreased due to wash-out of the immobilized antibody. In order to reuse the SPR sensor, it should be antibody-immobilized newly.

E. coli 11 and E. coli 101, clinical isolates of Escherichia coli were resistant to various quinolones, especially MICs to norfloxacin of both strains were higher than 100 mg/ml. In the presence of carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone, a proton gradient uncoupler, norfloxacin uptake in both strains was increased, suggesting that an efflux system play an important role in the norfloxacin resistance. Outer membrane proteins of the susceptible and resistant strains which could affect the route of norfloxacin entry into cells were different. When quinolone resistance determining region(QRDR) of gyrA was amplified using PCR and cut with Hinf I, QRDR in the susceptible strain yielded two fragments while QRDRs in E. coli 11 and E. coli 101 yielded only one uncut fragment. When DNA sequence of QRDR was analyzed, there were two mutations as Ser-83 and Asp-87 in both resistant strains. these residues were changed to Leu-83 and Asn-87, respectively. These results showed that the norfloxacin resistance of E. coli 11 and E. coli 101 was resulted from multiple changes-an altered DNA gyrase A subunit, a change in route of drug entry, and reduction in quinolone concentration inside cells due to an efflux system.

E. coli에서 글루타치온 생산 증가를 위해서 E. coli에서 분리한 gehI과 gshII유전자를 함유하고 있는 여러 재조합 플라스미드를 구성하여 도입하였다.pBR325 벡터에 gehI 유전자를 각각 1-3개를 포함한 재조합 플라스미드 및 gehI과 gehII 유전자를 동시에 갖는 재조합 플라스미드를 구성하였다. 계속적으로 반복된 gehI 유전자가 증폭된 E. colidml $\gamma $-gluramylcysteine synthetase의 효소활성은 삽입된 gehI 유전자의 부에 따라 증가하였다. 구성된 재조합 플라스미드를 함유한 E.coli의 글루타치온 생산능을 accetate kinase반응을 ATP재생계로 사용하여 조사한 결과 반복된 gehI 유전자를 함유한 E.coli의 글루타치온 생산능력은 삽입된 gehI 유전자의 수에 비례한여 증가하였으며, gehI 유전자의 추가적인 도입에 의해 글루타치온 생산능력은 2배 증가하였다. E.coli에서 글루타치온의 효소적 생산은 주로 \gamma $-gluramylcysteine synthetase의 효소활성에 의해 영향을 받았다. 가장 높은 글루타치온 생산능은 pGH501 (pUC8-gsh.I.II.III) 플라스미드를 갖는 균주에서 관찰되었다.

This study examined the effects of lactic acid spray, hot water spray, or their combined treatment, as well as the effects of acidified sodium chlorite (ASC), for the decontamination of Escherichia coli on beef carcass surfaces using a commercial intervention system. With this system, the effects of 2 or 4% lactic acid (v/v), hot water ($89{\pm}1^{\circ}C$), or their combined treatment, were examined in terms of reducing inoculated E. coli. ASC (266 ppm), which was adjusted to pH 2.5 using acetic acid or citric acid, was applied using a hand-held spray system. When the beef carcasses were treated with 2 or 4% lactic acid for 10.4 s, less than 1 log reductions of inoculated E. coli were observed. A hot water spray treatment for 9.8 s resulted in a 2.1 log reduction of inoculated E. coli. However, when the hot water was followed with either 2 or 4% lactic acid, no difference in E. coli reduction was found between the hot water alone or the combined treatment with lactic acid. When ASC was adjusted to pH 2.5 with acetic acid and citric acid, 3.8 and 4.1 log reductions of E. coli were observed, respectively. Overall, the lactic acid spray treatment was least effective, and the ASC treatment was most effective, for the E. coli decontamination of beef carcasses. Therefore, these data suggest that ASC would be a more effective intervention against E. coli than most of the methods currently being used. However, more research is required to evaluate the effects of ASC on other organisms, as well as to identify application methods that will not affect meat quality.

Deterministic and probabilistic approaches to the design of ultraviolet (UV) disinfection system for water reclamation are reviewed and discussed. The high inactivation of TC, FC and E. coli by UV disinfection was demonstrated and the inactivations of TC, FC and E. coli were 97%, 98% and 99%, respectively. Within the range of 0.3-4.5mWs/cm, the effect of UV does on the inactivation ratio was not observed. However, in the highest wattage of UV lamp, 39W, the inactivation ratio of TC, FC and E. coli was 100%, regardless of the UV does so the UV density was more effective on inactivation ratio of TC, FC and E. coli rather than UV does. Under the 0.4 mWs/cm and 16W of UV lamp, the effect of dissolved organic matter and turbidity on the inactivations of TC, FC and E. coli could not be observed in this study within the range of 0-60mg/L and 0-40 NTU respectively.

E. coli K-12 pgln 6가 지니는 glutamine synthetase와 반응계에 ATP 공급을 위하여 빵효모를 동시에 이용하여 glutamate로부터 glutamine의 생산이 수행되었다. Glutamine synthetase의 효소원으로서 E. coli K-12 pgln 6 생균체를 사용하였을 때, 18시간 배양 후에 11.8g/ι의 glutamine이 생산되었다(기질인 glutamate 기준으로 60%의 수율). 부분정제된 glutamine synthetase를 이용하여, 5시간 후에 19.8g/ι의 glutamine이 생산되었다. 이 양은 glutamate 기준으로 90% 수율에 해당되는 것이다.

The E. coli expression system to overproduce a harmful protein, carboxypeptidase Taq was developed. Since expression plasmid pCK305N containing the colicin promoter already has the initiation codon on the restriction site, the initiation codon of the CPase Taq gene was removed. Expression plasmid pCP4-col includes the entire CPase Taq gene, which is directed by the colicin promoter. E. coli cells harboring pCP-col produced a high amount of the enzyme when they were cultured in the present of mitomycin C (0.4 ${\mu}g$/ml). An amount of purified enzyme produced by pCP4-col directed by the colicin promoter was 10.5 mg. This result indicated that the novel E. coli expression system controlled by the colicin promoter could produce almost twice amounts of CPase Taq than the conventional system controlled by the tart promoter.
