취나물 재배 시 문제가 되는 점무늬병(Septoria sp.)에 대해 항균활성을 나타내는 세균 P. polymyxa JE201를 분리하였다. JE201 균주를 이용하여 점무늬병 방제효과 포장검정을 시행한 결과, 대조구로 사용한 세레나데 맥스와 비슷한 정도의 방제효과를 나타낼 정도로 효과가 있었으며, 다른 식물 병원성 진균에 대한 항균활성 스펙트럼을 조사한 결과, 10종 중 9종에 대해서도 균사생장억제력이 크게 나타나는 것으로 보아, 앞으로 추가적인 연구를 통해 다른 병에도 적용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Aquaculture development is based on the ideas of increasing production while reducing economic losses. Bacterial diseases are the leading source of fish cases. Citrobacter freundii has been linked to septicemia and mortality all over the world. In the current study, the cause of mortality in O. niloticus was C. freundii MW279218. External hemorrhages were seen on the affected fish, as well as paleness in the liver and kidney congestion. C. freundii MW279218 had a median lethal dosage of 1.5×10⁵ CFU/mL. Zinc oxide and zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) were tested for their biocidal effectiveness against C. freundii MW279218. The lethal effect of ZnO-NPs for C. freundii MW279218 was 100% when compared to zinc oxide compound, and the inhibition zone width was 2.31.1mm at the highest tested concentrations (70 mg/L) compared to the lowest (35 and 45 mg/L, respectively). Fish were fed three different diets for 28 days: diet 1 (no additives), diet 2 (100 mg of ZnO-NPs/kg of feed), and diet 3 (200 mg of ZnO-NPs/kg of feed). Organs were also collected for histopathology 96 hours after injection (P<0.05). In the groups given 200 mg of ZnO-NPs, there was 10% mortality and 80% RPS. The group fed 100 mg of ZnO-NPs/kg, on the other hand, had 20% mortality and 60% RPS, compared to 50% mortality in the control positive group. Histopathological examinations demonstrated significant alterations in the control positive group and mild lesions in the hepatopancreas of the groups administered 100 mg ZnO-NPs/kg of feed. The groups fed 200 mg of ZnO-NPs/kg diet, on the other hand, showed no histological alterations. ZnO-NPs were found to be effective in the up regulation of both IL-10 and complement 5 immune-related genes.

Aeromonas spp. and Pseudomonas spp. are opportunistic pathogens widely distributed in the aquatic environment. To test the antibiotic susceptibility, the MIC of the 18 antibiotics mainly used in aquaculture were measured. Aeromonas spp. and Pseudomonas spp. straoms had different resistance patterns against most antibiotics. The MIC of tetracycline for four Aeromonas spp. strains (10.5%) was < 0.25 ㎍/mL. However, 0.5-4 ㎍/mL tetracycline inhibited most Pseudomonas spp. strains. The tet resistance performance of 14 genes including tet(B), tet(E), and tet(M) were investigated. Investigating, the tetracycline resistance gene of 38 Aeromonas spp. strains detected tet(A) in 21 strains (55.3%). Two Pseudomonas spp. strains showed high MIC values and no inhibition zone. tet gene analysis detected tet(D) in only one strain (5%).

Background: The poor bioadhesion capacity of tilmicosin resulting in treatment failure for Staphylococcus aureus small colony variants (SASCVs) mastitis. Objectives: This study aimed to increase the bioadhesion capacity of tilmicosin for the SASCVs strain and improve the antibacterial effect of tilmicosin against cow mastitis caused by the SASCVs strain. Methods: Tilmicosin-loaded chitosan oligosaccharide (COS)-sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) composite nanogels were formulated by an electrostatic interaction between COS (positive charge) and CMC (negative charge) using sodium tripolyphosphate (TPP) (ionic crosslinkers). The formation mechanism, structural characteristics, bioadhesion, and antibacterial activity of tilmicosin composite nanogels were studied systematically. Results: The optimized formulation was comprised of 50 mg/mL (COS), 32 mg/mL (CMC), and 0.25 mg/mL (TPP). The size, encapsulation efficiency, loading capacity, polydispersity index, and zeta potential of the optimized tilmicosin composite nanogels were 357.4 ± 2.6 nm, 65.4 ± 0.4%, 21.9 ± 0.4%, 0.11 ± 0.01, and -37.1 ± 0.4 mV, respectively; the sedimentation rate was one. Scanning electron microscopy showed that tilmicosin might be incorporated in nano-sized crosslinked polymeric networks. Moreover, adhesive studies suggested that tilmicosin composite nanogels could enhance the bioadhesion capacity of tilmicosin for the SASCVs strain. The inhibition zone of native tilmicosin, tilmicosin standard, and tilmicosin composite nanogels were 2.13 ± 0.07, 3.35 ± 0.11, and 1.46 ± 0.04 cm, respectively. The minimum inhibitory concentration of native tilmicosin, tilmicosin standard, and tilmicosin composite nanogels against the SASCVs strain were 2, 1, and 1 ㎍/mL, respectively. The in vitro time-killing curves showed that the tilmicosin composite nanogels increased the antibacterial activity against the SASCVs strain. Conclusions: This study provides a potential strategy for developing tilmicosin composite nanogels to treat cow mastitis caused by the SASCVs strain.

The biocontrol approach using beneficial microorganisms to control crop diseases is becoming an essential alternative to chemical fungicides. Therefore, new and efficient biocontrol agents (BCA) are needed. In this study, a rhizospheric actinomycete isolate showed unique and promising antagonistic activity against three of the most common phytopathogenic fungi, Fusarium oxysporum MH105, Rhizoctonia solani To18, and Alternaria brassicicola CBS107. Identification of the antagonistic strain, which was performed according to spore morphology and cell wall chemotype, suggested that it belongs to the Nocardiopsaceae. Furthermore, cultural, physiological, and biochemical characteristics, together with phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene (OP869859.1), indicated the identity of this strain to Nocardiopsis alba. The cell-free filtrate (CFF) of the strain was evaluated for its antifungal potency, and the resultant inhibition zone diameters ranged from 17.0 ± 0.92 to 19.5 ± 0.28 mm for the tested fungal species. Additionally, the CFF was evaluated in vitro to control Fusarium wilt disease in Vicia faba using the spraying method under greenhouse conditions, and the results showed marked differences in virulence between the control and treatment plants, indicating the biocontrol efficacy of this actinomycete. A promising plant-growth promoting (PGP) ability in seed germination and seedling growth of V. faba was also recorded in vitro for the CFF, which displayed PGP traits of phosphate solubilization (48 mg/100 ml) as well as production of indole acetic acid (34 ㎍/ml) and ammonia (20 ㎍/ml). This study provided scientific validation that the new rhizobacterium Nocardiopsis alba strain BH35 could be further utilized in bioformulation and possesses biocontrol and plant growth-promoting capabilities.

Endophytes ascertain a symbiotic relationship with plants as promoters of growth, defense mechanism etc. This study is a first report to screen the endophytic population in Waltheria indica, a tropical medicinal plant. 5 bacterial and 3 fungal strains in leaves, 3 bacterial and 1 yeast species in stems were differentiated morphologically and identified by biochemical and molecular methods. The phylogenetic tree of the isolated endophytes was constructed using MEGA X. Silver nanoparticles were biosynthesized from a rare endophytic bacterium Cupriavidus metallidurans isolated from the leaf of W. indica. The formation of silver nanoparticles was confirmed by UV-Visible spectrophotometer that evidenced a strong absorption band at 408.5 nm of UV-Visible range with crystalline nature and average particle size of 16.4 nm by Particle size analyzer. The Fourier Transform Infra-Red spectrum displayed the presence of various functional groups that stabilized the nanoparticles. X-ray diffraction peaks were conferred to face centered cubic structure. Transmission Electron Microscope and Scanning Electron Microscope revealed the spherical-shaped, polycrystalline nature with the presence of elemental silver analyzed by Energy Dispersive of X-Ray spectrum. Selected area electron diffraction also confirmed the orientation of AgNPs at 111, 200, 220, 311 planes similar to X-ray diffraction analysis. The synthesized nanoparticles are evaluated for antimicrobial activity against 7 bacterial and 3 fungal pathogens. A good zone of inhibition was observed against pathogenic bacteria than fungal pathogens. Thus the study could hold a key aspect in drug discovery research and other pharmacological conducts of human clinical conditions.

어류병원성 연쇄상구균에 대하여 항 미생물 효과를 갖는 것으로 보고된 Bacillus sp. CPB-St를 수산용 probiotics로 개발하기 위한 기초 조사로서 미생물의 생물학적인 특성을 알아보았다. Bacillus sp. CPB-St는 16S rRNA 유전자 염기서열에 근거하여 Bacillus pumilus로 동정되었으며 B. pumilis CPB-St (이하 CPB-St)로 명명되었다. CPB-St를 배양 온도 및 배지의 종류에 따라 Streptococcus sp.에 대한 생장억제능력을 평가한 결과, $20^{\circ}C$(억제대: 11~29 mm)에서 배양하였을 때가 $30^{\circ}C$ (12~21 mm)에서 배양했을 때보다 생장억제효과가 높았고, NA (29 mm)와 TSA (29 mm)에서는 유사하였으나 BHIA (22 mm)에서는 낮게 나타났다. 또한 생장억제대의 크기는 pH 7.0에서 18 mm로 가장 높게 나타났고, 염분농도 0.5~3%에서는 동일하였다. 한편 CPB-St 의 생물학적 특성을 알아본 결과 $30^{\circ}C$에서 완만한 증식을 보였으며 배양 후 48시간에 최고 생장을 나타내었다. pH 4.0로 조정한 인공위액에서는 5시간까지 약간의 감소만 나타내었다. 넙치에서 채취 한 담즙에서 CPB-St는 농도에 관계없이 동일한 성장을 보였으며 deoxycholic acid가 첨가된 TSA배지에서 $300{\mu}g/ml$의 농도까지 증식 가능하였다. 또한 1%의 염분농도에서 최적의 성장을 보였으며 7%의 농도까지 증식에 큰 차이를 보이지는 않았고 저온 내성의 경우 $-20^{\circ}C$와 $-70^{\circ}C$에서는 45분경과 시점부터 대조군에 비해 성장 감소가 나타났으나 $4^{\circ}C$에서는 실온과 차이를 보이지 않았다. 따라서 CPB-St는 어류의 소화관 내에서의 생존가능성이 높으며 사료에 첨가하여 저온에 보관하여도 균수가 감소되지 않을 것으로 판단된다.

향신료의 첨가가 육제품에서 아질산염의 효과에 미치는 역할을 구명하기 위하여, 마쇄한 돈육에 8가지 향신료, ascorbic acid, nitrite를 첨가한 다음, 가열하지 않거나, $70^{\circ}C$ 30분 또는 $121^{\circ}C$ 15분 가열처리한 모델식품을 $5.5^{\circ}C$에서 12일간 저장하면서 pH, 아질산염 잔존량, 적색도, TBA값, 항생역가 등을 측정한 결과 비 가열 시료의 PH는 $5.6{\sim}5.8$로 일정하였으나 아질산염, anise, ascorbic acid, black pepper 처리구의 경우에는 5일 후에 급상승하여 12일 후에는 $6.7{\sim}7.8$로 상승하였다. 한편 $70^{\circ}C$ 및 $121^{\circ}C$로 가열구는 $5.9{\sim}6.1$로 거의 변화가 없었다. 아질산염량은 첫날에 큰 감소를 보이며, 저장기일에 따른 감소효과는 ascorbic acid구가 가장 높고, clove, eugenol, thyme도 상당한 효과를 보였으나 peppermint구는 효과가 적었다. 시료의 적색도는 대조구 보다 낮은 peppermint를 제외하면 ascorbic acid, clove, eugenol, thyme, anise, blackpepper, coriander, rosemary처리구가 대조구 보다 높았으며 그중 ascorbic acid, clove, eugenol첨가구의 경우 저장 12시간 후에 $2{\sim}3$정도 높았다. TBA가는 clove, eugenol, ascorbic acid처리구가 아질산염만 처리한 구보다 $4{\sim}6.5$정도 낮아 강력한 항산화성을 나타냈다. 미생물의 생육을 저해하는 항생역가는 Penicillium에 대해 clove, eugenol, peppermint, thyme 처리구가 강력하였으며, Salmonella에서는 모든 처리구에서 다같이 어느정도의 저해 역가를 나타냈다. 따라서 eugenol, clove, thyme oil을 육제품에 첨가하면 아질산염의 첨가량을 줄일 수 있을 것이다.
