  • Today, the weather is changing continually, due to the progress of global warming. As the weather changes, the habitats of different organisms will change as well. It cannot be predicted whether or not the weather will change with each passing day. In particular, the biological distribution of the areas climate change affects constitutes a major factor in determining the natural state of indigenous plants; additionally, plants are constantly exposed to rhizospheric microorganisms, which are bound to be sensitive to these changes. Interest has grown in the relationship between plants and rhizopheric microorganisms. As a result of this interest we elected to research and experiment further. We researched the dominant changes that occur between plants and rhizospheric organisms due to global warming. First, we used temperature as a variable. We employed four different temperatures and four different sites: room temperature ($27^{\circ}C$), $+2^{\circ}C$, $+4^{\circ}C$, and $+6^{\circ}C$. The four different sites we used were populated by the following species: Pinus deniflora, Pinus koraiensis, Quercus acutissima, and Alnus japonica. We counted colonies of these plants and divided them. Then, using 16S rRNA analysis we identified the microorganisms. In conclusion, we identified the following genera, which were as follows: 10 species of Bacillus, 2 Enterobacter species, 4 Pseudomonas species, 1 Arthrobacter species, 1 Chryseobacterium species, and 1 Rhodococcus species. Among these genera, the dominant species in Pinus deniflora was discovered in the same genus, but a different species dominated at $33^{\circ}C$. Additionally, that of Pinus koraiensis changed in both genus and species which changed into the Chryseobacrterium genus from the Bacilus genus at $33^{\circ}C$.

  • Hot water extract from mugwort (Artemisia asiatica nakai) leaves and tea inhibited the growth of Bacillus subtilis by adding to the nutrient broth 1.0% and 0.5% concentration, respectively. Among the important compounds that contributing mugwort like flavor to the mugwort leaves and tea were considered, authenic compound of thujone, caryophyllene and farnesol showed bactericidal effect for Escherichia coli, Enterobacter aerogenes, Vibrio paraheaemolyticus, Psudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus when teste by paper disc method ( 8 mm diameter). The mixture of caryophyllene and farnesol was more bactericidal effect for various bacteria than the mixture of thujone, caryophyllene and farnesol was more bactericidal effect for various bacteria that the mixture of thujone, caryophyllene and farnesol or each compounds . Especially, the mixture of caryophyllene and farnesol showed strong bactericidal effect (diameter of inhibition zone>40mm) for Vibrio parahaemolyticus , Enterobacter aerogenes and BAcillus subtilis.

  • In order to know the main causative agent and distribution of the agents in Gram-negative bacillus infections of bovine udders, one hundred and forty-eight cultures of Gram-negative bacilli isolated from clinical cases of mastitis during lactation over a period of 2 years in 6 herds of 180 Holstein cows were studied. Escherichia coli occupied 54.7% of the isolates was the most frequently isolated Gram-negative bacillus. 30 of the isolates (20.3%) were Enterobacter aerogenes, but Enterobacter cloacae was not isolated. Remaining isolates were Klebsiella pneumoniae, Proteus spp., Preudomonas aeruginosa and Alcaligenes faecalis. Most of the isolates (75.0%) were isolated from rear quarters.

  • Citron peel oil was extracted from citron (Citrus funas) fruit by steam distillation, and was used as starting material for microbial conversion to synthesize attractive flavor compounds by using Enterobacter agglomerans 6L. E. agglomerans was isolated from citron peel and was able to metabolize the citron peel oil and grew well ($A_{600}:\;3.0$) on the citron peel oil as the sole carbon source. Multiple terpene metabolites were produced by E. agglomerans 6L on M9 salt media with citron oil vapor. The identified bioconversion products from the citron peel oil included trans-2-decenal, octanol, $\delta$­valerolactone, $\gamma$-valerolactone, cryptone, hydroxycitronellol, cuminol, and $\gamma$-dodecalactone.

  • During 2006, the antibiotic resistance rate were investigated in gram negative bacteria. Resistance to piperacillin were detected at 60% in Escherichia coli, and 37% in Klebsiella pneumoniae. Ceftriaxone were detected 58% in Enterobacter cloacae, 52% in Acinetobacter baumannii, 43% in Enterobacter aerogenes and 76% were detected in Serratia marcescens. Between 1998 and 2007 antibiotic resistance rate were decreased in seven types antibiotic drugs. but, ceftazidime were increased from 12 to 20% during this times. In addition, E. coli, E. cloacae, A. baumannii and E. aerogenes were more isolated from May to June and K. pneumoniae and S. marcescens were more isolated from July to September. We should monitor and control antibiotic use and regularly survey antibiotic resistance patterns among pathogens in the hospital.

  • Entercbacter agglomerans 6L was isolated from citron (Citrus junos) peel by using an enrichment culture containing (+)-limonene. It was able to metabolize limonene and grew well ($A_{600}$:4.5) on limonene as a sole carbon source. E. agglomernas 6L was highly resistant to limonene toxicity, and grew to 1.0 optical density ($A_{600}$) even at 5% (v/v) of limonene in Luria-Bertani media. ${\gamma}-Valerolactone$ and cryptone were detected as the major metabolic products of limonene by E. agglomerans 6L.

  • The first cases of neonatal meningitis believed to have been caused by Enterobacter sakazakii were reported in 1961. Prompted by several subsequent outbreaks of E. sakazakii infections in neonates and an increasing number of neonates in intensive care units being fed rehydrated powdered infant formula, considered to be a source of the pathogen, public health authorities and researchers are exploring ways to eliminate the bacterium or control its growth in dry infant formula, processing environments and formula preparation areas in hospitals. Reviewed here are advances in taxonomy and classification of E. sakazakii, methods of detecting, isolating and typing the bacterium, antibiotic resistance, clinical etilogy and pathogenicity. Outbreaks of E. sakazakii infections in neonates and adults are summarized. Reports on the presence of E. sakazakii in clinical settings, the environment and foods and food processing facilities are reviewed.

  • Microbial of enzymatical methods are suitable for production of rare monosaccharides. Using oxidation and reduction ability of Microorganisms, various rare ketoses and polyols can be produced, for example D-tagatose from galagtitol by Enterobacter agglomerans strain 221e. L-tagatose from galactitol by Klebsiella pheumonias strain 40b, L-psicose from allitol by Gluconobacter frateurii IFO 3254, D-talitol from d-tagatose by Aureobasidium pullulans strain 113B, allitol from D-psicose by Enterobacter agglomerans strain 221e and so on. We can produce various rare aldoses and ketoses using aldose isomerases, for example L-galactose from L-tagatose by D-arabnose isomerase, and L-ribose from L-ribulose by L-isomerase, and so on. D-Tagatose 3-epimerase of Pseudomonas sp. ST-24 is very useful for preparationof various rare ketoses, for example D-psicose from D-fructose, D-sorbose from D-tagatose, L-fructose, from L-psicose and so on. Using polyol dehydrogenases, aldose isomerases and D-tagatose 3-epimerase, we can design the suitable for production of a certain rare monosaccharide from a suitable substrate.
