Antibiotic resistant bacteria were isolated from livestock wastes and the resistance patterns were investigated using various antibiotic agents. Also, a gamma ray was tested regarding the aspects of the effect on resistance pattern and the efficiency of disinfection. Among the isolates, Esherichia coli and Brevibacterium sp. showed the most serious resistance patterns. Esherichia coli had resistance against 9 agents whereas Brevibacterium sp. against 7 agents. It can be suggested from these results that the abuse of antibiotic agents will cause a serious mutation problem even to Esherichia coli which is ubiquitous in the ecosystem. Esherichia coli could be easily controlled but Brevibacterium sp. had a moderate resistance to the gamma ray under low doses. In the case of Brevibacterium sp, more than 2.0 kGy of a radiation dose will be required in order to achieve an enhanced efficiency of disinfection.

In order to increase the expression of XMP aminase [EC 6.3.4.1], which catalizes the conversion of 5'-XMP to the DNA fragment containing gua A gene coding for XMP aminase from pLC 34-10 plasmid was subcloned into pBR 322, and 1.7 kb gua A gene fragment was recloned under the control of trp promoter of pDR 720, E. coli expression vector. XMP aminase activity had increased by about 17 times when compared with that of the strain earring pLC 34-10.

Antibiotics polymer prepared by chemical bonding and simple blending of antibacterial into polymers have attracted much interest because of their long-lasting and antibacterial activity. Antibiotics polymer can significantly reduce losses associated with dissolution, photolytic decomposition and volatillization. Further more, increased efficiency safety and selectivity are additional benefits which may be realized. In this study, Antibiotics polymer was synthesized by chemical reaction of polyacrylic acid with sulfamethazine by N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide(DCC) method. Antibacterial susceptibility was determined against Streptococcus pyrogenes[gram(+)] and Esherichia coli.[gram(-)] using a standardized disc test. As a result, the synthetic antibiotics polymer exhibited the broad susceptibilty against Streptococcus pyrogenes and Esherichia coli. Especially, the antibiotic effect of antibacterial polymer against Gram negative(Esherichia coli) was much stronger than that against Gram positive(Streptococcus pyrogenes).

Total aerobic bacteria, Esherichia coli O157:H7, and Salmonella spp. were examined in commercial liquid pig manures. Commercial liquid pig manures (n=33) were collected from muck joint resource recovery plant at April, June, August, October 2009, Korea. Total aerobic bacteria were incubated at $37^{\circ}C$ for 24-48 hrs, and quantified as a colony-forming unit (CFU) $mL^{-1}$. Analysis of Esherichia coli O157:H7 and Salmonella spp. were followed by Korean Food Standards Codex method. Colony of Salmonella spp. was confirmed by API kit and real time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Total aerobic bacteria isolated from fermented commercial liquid pig manures ranged from 2.8 to $24.3{\times}10^4\;CFU\;mL^{-1}$. Esherichia coli O157:H7 was not detected, and Salmonella spp. showed the low detection frequency at only 1 sample. This study suggests that continuous monitoring in commercial liquid pig manures is required to improve the agricultural food through management of agricultural land contaminated with liquid pig manures.

Fro the purpose of producing glouse from cellobiose or oligo saccharide and obtaining genetic information of beta-1,4-glucosidase gene, alpha beta-1,4-glucosidase gene of Pseudomonas sp. LBC505, potent cellulase complex and xylanase producing strain, was cloned in Esherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis into pUC19 and pBD64, respectively. Recombinant plasmid pGL1 contained 1.2kb EcoRI fragment was isolated from transformants forming blue color around colony on LB agar plate containing 20 ng/ml of 5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside(X-glu) and ampicillin.

This study was carried out to determine the inhibitory effect of methanol extract from kimchi ingredients against Salmonella typhimurium, Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, and Esherichia coli which are pathogenic microorganisms and Aspergillus sp. Penicillium sp. Antimicrobial activity of methanol extracts was tested against bacteria by paper disc method. Antifungal activity of methanol extracts was shown by hyphal growth inhibition ratio. The methanol extracts from all materials were effective against E. coli among them. And the antimicrobial activity of the methanol extracts from ginger and onion were lower than the others. The antifungal activity of the methanol extracts from radish, ginger, and garlic were effective against Aspergillus sp. and Penicillium sp. In the result of identifying antimicrobial effect rate, the methanol extracts from red pepper and radish had more than $40\%$ against S. typhimurium and more than $30\%$ against E. coli. Also the methanol extracts from onion had an high inhibitory effect rate of more than $50\%$ against S. typhimurium and that from garlic had more than $60\%$ against S. aureus. The minimum inhibitory concentration(MIC) of red pepper was examined 500 $\mu$g/mL against L. monocytogenes. This value was the lowest among the others.

This paper shows the simulation of electric field distribution and removal characteristics of Escherichia coli for water discharge tube with globular $SiO_2$. At the experiments of the removing Escherichia coli used the discharge tube with globular dielectric($SiO_2$), because the electric field is increased when applied voltage is increased, the removed ratio of Escherichia coli was related with increasing of applied voltage. When a passing number of test water in water discharge tube is increased, the removed ratio of Escherichia coli is increased because passing number of territory with electric field is increased. When diameter of globular dielectric($SiO_2$) is increased, the removed time of Escherichia coli was decreased because electric field for dielectric polarization of globular dielectric($SiO_2$) was increased. Also, the removed ratio of Escherichia coli of the water discharge tube with globular dielectric($SiO_2$) was measured higher than the removal ratio of the discharge tube without globular dielectric($SiO_2$)

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of sea urchin shell powder, used in broiler diet, on Esherichia coli and Salmonella in litter produced by the broilers. A total of 120 broiler chickens were fed 1 of 3 treatment diets (10 chickens per pen) in a randomized block design treatments with 4 replications. Sea urchin shell powder was used in the concentrations of 0.5% and 1% in the basal diets; the control diet was constituted of basal diet. During the 3-week feeding trials, none of the treatments significantly affected the E. coli populations in poultry litter at weeks 0 and 1, nor did they affect the and S. enterica populations at weeks 1 and 3. However, dietary sea urchin shell powder addition affected the population of E. coli at weeks 2 and 3, and that of S. entericaat weeks 0 and 2 (P<0.05). It is therefore concluded that the use of dietary sea urchin shell powder (0.5% and 1%) will be beneficial enough to reduce E. coli, rather than S. enterica in poultry litter over short-term periods.
