친수성 표면을 만들기 위하여 산소분위기에서 1 keV의 에너지를 갖는 아르곤 이온빔을 폴리프로필렌 담체의 표면에 조사하였다. 삼차 증류수에 대한 접촉각은 개질 전의 $78^{\circ}$에서 최적의 조건에서 $22^{\circ}$까지 감소하였다. 이온 보조 반응 후의 친수성 증가는 ether, carbonyl, carboxyl 등의 새로 형성된 작용기에 의한 것이며 극성 용매에 대한 안정성이 우수하므로 활성화된 표면이 폐수 내에서도 안정하다. 활성화된 폴리프로필렌 담체를 합성폐수내의 유기물을 제거하기 위한 bio-film공정에 적용하였다. 이온 보조 반응법으로 친수성 표면으로 개질된 PP 담체는 극성 용매내에서 극성작용기가 유지되었으므로 안정된 표면 특성을 이용하여 박테리아 부착의 생물막 공정에 대한 연구를 수행하여 미생물의 부착은 표면의 염기성 극성작용기에 의하여 증진됨을 확인하였다. 합성폐수에 대한 처리 효율은 30%까지 증가 하였으며 장시간에 걸친 COD 농도 감소 효과를 나타내었으므로 이온 보조 반응법에 의하여 처리된 PP고분자를 수질 개선용의 담체로 사용하여 처리효율을 증가시킬 수 있음을 확인하였다.

Streptomyces griseus S4-7, a well-characterized keystone taxon among strawberry microbial communities, shows exceptional disease-preventing ability. The whole-genome sequence, functional genes, and bioactive secondary metabolites of the strain have been described in previous studies. However, proteomics studies of not only the S4-7 strain, but also the Streptomyces genus as a whole, remain limited to date. Therefore, in the present study, we created a proteomics reference map for S. griseus S4-7. Additionally, analysis of differentially expressed proteins was performed against a wblE2 mutant, which was deficient in spore chain development and did not express an antifungal activity-regulatory transcription factor. We believe that our data provide a foundation for further in-depth studies of functional keystone taxa of the phytobiome and elucidation of the mechanisms underlying plant-microbe interactions, especially those involving the Streptomyces genus.

After birth, animals are colonized by a diverse community of microorganisms. The digestive tract is known to contain the largest number of microbiome in the body. With emergence of the gut-brain axis, the importance of gut microbiome and its metabolites in host health has been extensively studied in recent years. The establishment of organoid culture systems has contributed to studying intestinal pathophysiology by replacing current limited models. Owing to their architectural and functional complexity similar to a real organ, co-culture of intestinal organoids with gut microbiome can provide mechanistic insights into the detrimental role of pathobiont and the homeostatic function of commensal symbiont. Here organoid-based bacterial co-culture techniques for modeling host-microbe interactions are reviewed. This review also summarizes representative studies that explore impact of enteric microorganisms on intestinal organoids to provide a better understanding of host-microbe interaction in the context of homeostasis and disease.

Soils amended for long-term with high levels of compost demonstrated greater abundance of bacterial members of the phylum Bacteroidetes whereas a decreasing trend in the relative abundance of phylum Acidobacteria was noted with increasing levels of compost. Metabolic profiles predicted by PICRUSt demonstrated differences in functional responses of the bacterial community according to the treatments. Soils amended with lower compost levels were characterized by abundance of genes encoding enzymes contributing to membrane transport and cell growth whereas genes encoding enzymes related to protein folding and transcription were enriched in soils amended with high levels of compost. Thus, the results of the current study provide extensive evidence of the influence of different compost levels on bacterial diversity and community structure in paddy soils.

Pathogenesis-related proteins play multiple roles in plant development and biotic and abiotic stress tolerance. Here, we characterize a rice defense related gene named "jasmonic acid inducible pathogenesis-related class 10" (JIOsPR10) to gain an insight into its functional properties. Semi-quantitative RT-PCR analysis showed up-regulation of JIOsPR10 under salt and drought stress conditions. Constitutive over-expression JIOsPR10 in rice promoted shoot and root development in transgenic plants, however, their productivity was unaltered. Further experiments exhibited that the transgenic plants showed reduced susceptibility to rice blast fungus, and enhanced salt and drought stress tolerance as compared to the wild type. A comparative proteomic profiling of wild type and transgenic plants showed that overexpression of JIOsPR10 led to the differential modulation of several proteins mainly related with oxidative stresses, carbohydrate metabolism, and plant defense. Taken together, our findings suggest that JIOsPR10 plays important roles in biotic and abiotic stresses tolerance probably by activation of stress related proteins.

The pine mushroom is recognized as a valuable functional food and is considered the first kind of mushroom. One of the product development plans for the pine mushroom is a Teriyaki pickle. The physical properties and sensory evaluation of this product were measured, as well as sensory evaluations and microbe tests after a storage period. 9 types of high pressure-cooking conditions with Teriyaki seasoning were tested. The Teriyaki seasoning was heated from $110^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours, 1 hour or by the traditional method. Based on our testing and evaluations, the pine mushroom Teriyaki pickle heated from $110^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours or 1 hour had the highest preference and color ; Odor and overall preference increased with longer storage periods. Also, from the 21st day, the microbe levels in the traditional method Teriyaki seasoning measured less than those in 30 others. But, until storage 28th day, no microbes were detected in Teriyaki seasoning liquid from the high pressure-cooking condition. As a result, the high pressure-cooking condition was a simpler manufacturing process than the traditional method. The salinity of Teriyaki seasoning liquid from the high pressure-cooking condition was relatively lower than that from the traditional method. Therefore, the pine mushroom pickle prepared with Teriyaki seasoning under high pressure-cooking conditions will be considered for commercialization. The pine mushroom Teriyaki pickle heated from $110^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours was preferred the most, so this method is suitable for the Teriyaki seasoning.

A fermenting microorganism involved in formation of ortho-dihydroxyisoflavones (ODIs) during aging of doenjang (Korean fermented soybean paste) has been investigated. Microorganisms in ODI-containing doenjang were isolated by cultivating on yeast mold (YM) agar medium containing 0-7% NaCl. ODI formation of the isolated strains was examined by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) analysis after cultivation in modified YM broth or soybean extract medium. An ODI-producing microbe was identified as Bacillus subtilis HS-1 based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. The strain has produced 8-hydroxydaidzein as a major product during growth in the modified YM broth or soybean extract medium. Therefore, it was concluded that one of the microorganisms involved in the formation of ODIs in doenjang was B. subtilis HS-1.

In the early host defense system, effector function of natural killer (NK) cells results in natural killing against target cells such as microbe-infected, malignant, and certain allogenic cells without prior stimulation. NK cell cytotoxicity is selectively regulated by homeostatic prevalence between a repertoire of both activating and inhibitory receptors, and the discrimination of untransformed cells is achieved by recognition of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I alleles through inhibitory signals. Although it is well known that the bipotential T/NK progenitors are derived from the common precusor, functional mechanisms in terms of the development of NK cells remain to be further investigated. NK cells are mainly involved in innate immunity, but recent studies have been reported that they also play a critical role in adaptive immune responses through interaction with dendritic cells (DC). This interaction will provide effector functions and development of NK cells, and elucidation of its precise mechanism may lead to therapeutic strategies for effective treatment of several immune diseases.

As a result of the enormous amount of information that has been collected with E. coli over the past half century (e.g. genome sequence, mutant phenotypes, metabolic and regulatory networks, etc.), we now have detailed knowledge about gene regulation, protein activity, several hundred enzyme reactions, metabolic pathways, macromolecular machines, and regulatory interactions for this model organism. However, understanding how all these processes interact to form a living cell will require further characterization, quantification, data integration, and mathematical modeling, systems biology. No organism can rival E. coli with respect to the amount of available basic information and experimental tractability for the technologies needed for this undertaking. A focused, systematic effort to understand the E. coli cell will accelerate the development of new post-genomic technologies, including both experimental and computational tools. It will also lead to new technologies that will be applicable to other organisms, from microbes to plants, animals, and humans. E. coli is not only the best studied free-living model organism, but is also an extensively used microbe for industrial applications, especially for the production of small molecules of interest. It is an excellent representative of Gram-negative commensal bacteria. E. coli may represent a perfect model organism for systems biology that is aimed at elucidating both its free-living and commensal life-styles, which should open the door to whole-cell modeling and simulation.
