This study was conducted to investigate the effects of environmental factor such as temperature, salinity, turbidity, pH and dissolved oxygen on the growth of Vibrio spp.. In this survey, total 56 seawater samples were obtained from 8 different sites of the Incheon coastal area during the periods from april 2008 to october 2008. Enumeration of Vibrio spp. was determined by using the most probable number(MPN) procedure. Isolation rates of V. parahaemolyticus, V. vulnificus, V. cholerae in all samples tested were 44.0%, 21.4% and 13.1%, respectively. The enumeration of Vibrio spp. was very low correlated with water temperature and pH and negatively correlated with salinity, dissolved oxygen and turbidity. We found salinity to be the parameter most highly correlated with the enumeration of Vibrio spp. The highest rate of antibiotic resistance of V.vulnificus and V.parahaemolyticus was Cefazolin(11.5%), Ampicillin(70.8%), respectively.

Hypoderma spp. larvae cause subcutaneous myiasis in several animal species. The objective of the present investigation was to identify and characterize morphologically and molecularly the larvae of Hypoderma spp. collected from cattle (Bos taurus taurus) and red deer (Cervus elaphus) in the district of Castelo Branco, Portugal. For this purpose, a total of 8 larvae were collected from cattle (n=2) and red deer (n=6). After morphological identification of Hypoderma spp. larvae, molecular characterization was based on PCR-RFLP and mitochondrial CO1 gene sequence analysis. All larvae were morphologically characterized as the third instar larvae (L3) of H. actaeon. Two restriction enzymes were used for molecular identification of the larvae. TaqI restriction enzyme was not able to cut H. actaeon. However, MboII restriction enzyme differentiated Hypoderma species showing 210 and 450 bp bands in H. actaeon. Furthermore, according to the alignment of the mt-CO1 gene sequences of Hypoderma species and to PCR-RFLP findings, all the identified Hypoderma larvae were confirmed as H. actaeon. This is the first report of identification of Hypoderma spp. (Diptera; Oestridae) from cattle and red deer in Portugal, based on morphological and molecular analyses.

We developed an mPCR assay for the simultaneous detection, in one tube, of Escherichia coli O157:H7, Salmonella spp., Staphylococcus aureus and Listeria monocytogenes using species-specific primers. The mPCR employed the E. coli O157:H7 specific primer Stx2A, Salmonella spp. specific primer Its, S. aureus specific primer Cap8A-B and L. monocytogenes specific primer Hly. Amplification with these primers produced products of 553, 312, 405 and 210 bp, respectively. All PCR products were easily detected by agarose gel electrophoresis, and the sequences of the specific amplicons assessed. Potential pathogenic bacteria, in laboratory-prepared and four commercially available kimchi products, were using this mPCR assay, and the amplicons cloned and sequenced. The results correlated exactly with sequences derived for amplicons obtained during preliminry tests with known organisms. The sensitivity of the assay was determined for the purified pathogen DNAs from four strains. The mPCR detected pathogen DNA at concentrations ranging from approximately 0.45 to $0.05\;pM/{\mu}l$. Thus, this mPCR assay may allow for the rapid, reliable and cost-effective identification of four potentially pathogens present in the mixed bacterial communities of commercially available kimchi.

대청호의 주요 정점에서 수화의 발생 및 소멸에 따른 환경요인의 변화와 시안세균, 종속영양세균, 그리고 Anabaena cylindrica 생장억제미생물 분포도의 상관관계를 확인하였다. 수온은 온대지역 수계에서 확인할 수 있는 전형적인 변화 양상을 나타내었다. pH와 용존산소량, 클로로필 a는 수화 발생기에 높고, 수화의 소멸과 함께 그 농도가 낮아졌다. 조사정점에서는 인이 1차 생산력의 제한요인으로 작용하며, 수화발생기에는 수중생물에 의해 질소고정이 이루어짐으로써 총질소의 농도가 상승하였다. 조사정점에서 시안세균은 6월 17일부터 분포하기 시작하여 11월 10일까지 Anabaena sp., Aphanizomenon spp., Microcystis spp., Oscillatoria spp., Phormidium spp. 등이 관찰되었다. Anabaena spp.는 7월 23일부터 9월 22일까지 비교적 높은 분포도를 보였고, 9월 29일 이후에는 완전히 소멸하였다. 수화발생기에 종속영양세균과 시안세균 군집은 서로 반비례적으로 변화하였다. Anabaena spp.의 개체군이 증가 또는 사멸하는 시기에 A. cylindrica 생장억제미생물의 분포도가 높았고, A. cylindrica 생장억제미생물 개체수가 감소하면서 종속영양세균의 개체수가 증가함으로써 세가지 생물군의 군집 사이에는 일정한 연관성이 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 이상의 결과는 자연수계 분포하는 미생물은 시안세균의 생장 조절자 역할을 하며, 특히 수화의 소멸 과정에는 이들 미생물이 지대한 역할을 한다는 사실을 의미한다.

This study evaluated the effect of sodium diacetate and sodium lactate solutions for reducing the cell count of Pseudomonas spp. in frankfurters and hams. A mixture of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (NCCP10338, NCCP10250, and NCCP11229), and Pseudomonas fluorescens (KACC10323 and KACC10326) was inoculated on cooked frankfurters and ham. The inoculated samples were immersed into control (sterile distilled water), sodium diacetate (5 and 10%), sodium lactate (5 and 10%), 5% sodium diacetate + 5% sodium lactate, and 10% sodium diacetate + 10% sodium lactate for 0-10 min. Inoculated frankfurters and ham were also immersed into acidified (pH 3.0) solutions such as acidified sodium diacetate (5 and 10%), and acidified sodium lactate (5 and 10%) in addition to control (acidified distilled water) for 0-10 min. Total aerobic plate counts for Pseudomonas spp. were enumerated on Cetrimide agar. Significant reductions (ca. 2 Log CFU/g) in Pseudomonas spp. cells on frankfurters and ham were observed only for a combination treatment of 10% sodium lactate + 10% sodium diacetate. When the solutions were acidified to pH 3.0, the total reductions of Pseudomonas spp. were 1.5-4.0 Log CFU/g. The order of reduction amounts of Pseudomonas spp. cell counts was 10% sodium lactate > 5% sodium lactate ${\geq}$ 10% sodium diacetate > 5% sodium diacetate > control for frankfurters, and 10% sodium lactate > 5% sodium lactate > 10% sodium diacetate > 5% sodium diacetate > control for ham. The results suggest that using acidified food additive antimicrobials, as dipping solutions, should be useful in reducing Pseudomonas spp. on frankfurters and ham.

Alcoholism is a significant health problem in the world. The liver is the first and primary target organ for alcohol metabolism. Alcohol dehydrogenase and aldehyde dehydrogenase play important roles in the metabolism of alcohol and aldehyde. In this study, I aimed to investigate the eliminatory effects of a Phellinus spp. extract on alcohol metabolism in drunken Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats. Male SD rats were given Phellinus spp. extract at 30 min after 40% (5 g/kg) alcohol ingestion. To assay the effect of Phellinus spp. extract on blood alcohol concentration, blood samples were taken from the tail vein at 1, 3 and 5 h after alcohol ingestion. The concentrations of alcohol, alcohol dehydrogenase, and aldehyde dehydrogenase in Phellinus spp. extract treated rat were significantly lower than that of the control with a time-dependent manner. In addition, the alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase activities of Phellinus spp. extract-treated groups were altered compared to those of the control group. These results suggest that Phellinus spp. extract intake can have a positive effect on the reduction of alcohol, alcohol dehydrogenase, and aldehyde dehydrogenase concentrations in the blood and may alleviate acute alcohol-induced hepatotoxicity by altering alcohol metabolic enzyme activities. Phellinus spp. extract is thus a good nutraceutical candidate.

Streptomyces spp. K-14에서 생성되는 포도당 이성화효소의 특성에 대해서 연구하였다. 효소 반응의 최적 pH와 온도는 5 mM $MgSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O$와 2 mM $CoCl_2{\cdot}6H_2O$의 존재 아래에 각각 $7.5{\sim}8.0$ 그리고 $70^{\circ}{\sim}75^{\circ}C$로 나타났다. 이러한 이성화 효소는 $Mg^{++}$과 $Co^{++}$두 양이온에 의하여 활성화 되었는데 $Mg^{++}$는 이성화 반응의 초기 활성화에 소요 되었으며 $Co^{++}$는 효소 단백질을 안정화 하는데 소요 되었다. 포도당 농도 60%까지는 효소 반응속도나 효소의 이성화율에 영향을 끼치지 않았다.
