  • This study was performed to investigate the sedative-hypnotic activity of ${\gamma}$-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-enriched fermented marine organisms (FMO), including sea tangle (FST) and oyster (FO) by Lactobacillus brevis BJ20 (L. brevis BJ20). FST and FO were tested for their binding activity of the $GABA_A$-benzodiazepine and 5-$HT_{2C}$ receptors, which are well-known molecular targets for sleep aids. We also measured the sleep latency and sleep duration during pentobarbital-induced sleep in mice after oral administration of FST and FO. In $GABA_A$ and 5-$HT_{2C}$ receptor binding assays, FST displayed an effective concentration-dependent binding affinity to $GABA_A$ receptor, similar to the binding affinity to 5-$HT_{2C}$ receptor. FO exhibited higher affinity to 5-$HT_{2C}$ receptor, compared with the $GABA_A$ receptor. The oral administration of FST and FO produced a dose-dependent decrease in sleep latency and increase in sleep duration in pentobarbital-induced hypnosis. The data demonstrate that FST and FO possess sedativehypnotic activity possibly by modulating $GABA_A$ and 5-$HT_{2C}$ receptors. We propose that FST and FO might be effective agents for treatment of insomnia.

  • Marine organisms are sources of many bioactive compounds, such as essential fatty acids, essential amino acids, vitamins, and minerals, making them useful candidates for the production of safe bioactive substances. They also synthesize glutamic acid, which can be used to produce γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system (CNS), via fermentation with Lactobacillus brevis BJ-20. This study investigated the degree to which fermented sea tangle (FST) inhibits enzymes such as acetylcholine esterase (AChE) and prolyl endopeptidase (PEP) and affects memory of normal mice using the T-maze test. FST inhibited more than 90% of AChE at 1 mg/mL and 50% of PEP at 8 mg/mL. Oral FST (100 mg/kg) significantly improved performance of normal mice on the T-maze. Therefore, sea tangle fermented with L. brevis BJ20 effectively contributes to memory improvement and might be a useful functional food ingredient.

  • Growth rates, photosystem II photosynthesis, and the levels of chlorophyll $\alpha$ and secondary metabolites of Chlorella ovalis were estimated to determine if they were enhanced by the addition of swine urine (BM) or cow compost water (EP) that had been fermented by soil bacteria to deep seawater (DSW) in an attempt to develop media that enabled batch mass culture at lower costs. Growth of C. ovalis in f/2, f/2-EDTA+BM60%, DSW+BM30%, and DSW+EP60% was enhanced and maintained in the log phase of growth for 16 days. The cell densities of C. ovalis in DSW+EP60% ($4.1{\times}10^6$ Cells/ml) were higher than those of f/2 ($2.9{\times}10^6$ Cells/ml), f/2-E+BM60% ($3.7{\times}10^6$ Cells/ml), and DSW+BM30% ($2.7{\times}10^6$ Cells/ml). The growth rate was also more favorable for C. ovalis cultured in DSW+EP60% ($0.15\;day^{-1}$) than that of C. ovalis cultured in the control medium (f/2) ($0.12\;day^{-1}$). Furthermore, the chlorophyll a concentration of C. ovalis cultured in DSW+EP60% (4.56 mg/l) was more than 2-fold greater than that of C. ovalis cultured in f/2 (2.35 mg/l). Moreover, the maximal quantum yields of photo system II at 470 nm (Fv/Fm) were significantly higher in organisms cultured at f/2-E+BM60% (0.53) and DSW+EP60% (0.52) than in the other treatment groups. Finally, Fourier transformation infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy revealed that C. ovalis grown in DSW+EP60% had more typical peaks and various biochemical pool shifts than those grown in other types of media. Taken together, the results of this study indicate that the use of DSW+EP60% to culture C. ovalis can reduce maintenance expenses and promote higher yields.

  • 본 연구에서는 BFT (biofloc technology) system 수조로부터 분리된 미생물(Bacillus sp.)을 이용하여 Marine snow와 유사한 유기물 분해산물을 만들어 뱀장어 자어먹이로 활용 가능성을 조사하였다. 유기원으로는 계란, 참다랑어, 뱀장어, 담치, 갯지렁이, 멍게, 바지락 그리고 새우를 이용하여 8 종류의 유기물 분해산물(HE, TM, EM, PC, TA, MS, HA, SP)를 생산했다. 생산된 유기물 분해산물은 특정한 형태는 나타나지 않았으며, 크기도 $10-20{\mu}m$의 미세한 것부터 $100{\mu}m$ 이상 되는 것까지 다양하였다. 부화 후 20일부터 다양한 유기물 분해산물을 이용하여 제조한 4 종류의 먹이(A, B, C, D-type)를 급이한 결과 A, B, C-type의 먹이를 급이한 뱀장어 유생은 각각 부화 후 37일, 39일, 37일까지 생존하였으나, D-type의 먹이를 급히한 뱀장어 유생은 부화 후 60일 동안 생존하였다. 각 먹이의 단백질 함량은 비슷하였지만, D-type 먹이의 n-3 HUFA 농도는 다른 type의 n-3 HUFA 농도보다 약 2배 높았다.

  • The productivities of Chlorella ovalis and Dunaliella parva were influenced by the rates of medium compositions obtained from the fermented animal wastewater (BM: bacteria mineral water) including a natural substitute chelator for EDTA (etylenediaminetetraacetic acid). The most favorable medium was -E+50 adding 50% BM in f/2 medium instead of EDTA, a chemical chelator, which increased more 19-fold of cell density in C. ovalis and 7-fold in D. parva than cells cultured on f/2 medium as well as the enhancements of chlorophyll a (f/2-E: 0.26 g L–1, -E+50: 1.5 g L–1 in C. ovalis; f/2-E: 2.7 g L–1, -E+50: 15 g L–1 in D. parva) and the increase of maximal PSII quantum yields. These results were verified that the BM could play an important part as a natural chelator substituted for EDTA. In the fields of biotechnology, food organisms in fishery and eco-industries of CO2 sequestration in air and nutrient removal in water, the natural chelator of BM could be applied to enhance the biomass of the other microalgae.

  • Marine organisms are frequently used to be harmful and have lower side effects than synthetic drugs. The cognitive improving efficacy of gamma aminobutyric acid-enriched fermented Saccharina japonica (FSJ) on the memory deficient rats, which were induced by trimethyltin chloride (TMT), was investigated by assessing the Morris water maze test and by performing choline acetyltransferase (ChAT), cAMP response element binding protein (CREB), and brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) immunohistochemistry. The neurite outgrowth of Neuro2a cells was assessed in order to examine the underlying mechanisms of the memory enhancing effects of FSJ. Treatment with FSJ tended to shorten the latency to find the platform in the acquisition test of the Morris water maze at the second and fourth day compared to the control group. In the probe trial, the FSJ treated group increased time spent in the target quadrant, compared to that of the control group. Consistent with the behavioral data, these treatments recovered the loss of ChAT, CREB, and BDNF immunepositive neurons in the hippocampus produced by TMT. Treatment with FSJ markedly stimulated neurite outgrowth of the Neuro2a cells as compared to that of the controls. These findings demonstrate that FSJ may be useful for improving the cognitive function via regulation of neurotrophic marker enzyme activity.

  • 오늘날 해양생물로부터 얻어진 미생물유래의 이차대사물질은 구조적, 생물학적으로 새로운 화합물의 주요한 자원이다. 그 중에서 해면동물과 미생물 관계는 생리활성 물질을 탐색하는데 가장 흥미있는 자원 중 하나로서 주목받아 왔다. 본 연구에서는 서해안 조간대에서 채집된 주황해변해면(Hymeniacidon sinapium)으로부터 분리된 세균 균주(Microbulbifer sp., 127CP-12)를 검토하였다. 배양된 세균은 자주색 색소를 생산하였으며, 색소생산의 최적 배양조건을 조사하였다. 최대 색소생산을 위한 미생물 배양조건은 $25^{\circ}C$, pH 6.0, 3% NaCl임을 알 수 있었다. 추출용매는 에탄올과 메탄올에 비해 아세톤이 더 적절한 것으로 나타났다. 추출된 색소의 주요성분은 HLPC, NMR, MS, 그리고 UV 스펙트럼의 구조 분석을 통해 유용한 생리활성물질인 비올라세인으로 밝혀졌다. 본 연구는 해양미생물이 관여한 대사물질로부터 생리활성물질을 조사하는 연구기법을 서술함과 동시에 오늘날 변화하는 해양환경에서 해면동물과 미생물 관계의 생태학적 의의를 제시하고 있다.
