In this study, to determine the importance of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) in Kombucha fermentation, biological functions, such as organic acid production and anti-inflammatory and antibacterial activities, of Kombucha, with or without LAB inoculation, were evaluated. Lactobacillus paracasei DK215, Saccharomyces cerevisiae C3, and Acetobacter pasteurianus P2 were selected as the inoculants. Organic acids were measured every 3 days from the end of fermentation using HPLC; the organic acid content of LAB-inoculated Kombucha was relatively high. Samples with or without LAB inoculation showed high antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli. The MTT assay results indicated no significant difference in concentration difference and cell death. In the NO production test, compared with the uninoculated Kombucha sample, the LAB-inoculated Kombucha sample exhibited a value similar to that of the group without LPS treatment. The levels of cytokine (IL-1α, IL-6, TNF-α) production were significantly lower than those of the LPS(+) group, indicating the anti-inflammatory activity potential of the Kombucha sample. This improvement in the biological function of the LAB-inoculated Kombucha further verifies the value of LAB in the fermented food and beverage industry.

The objectives of this study were to identify the histamine-forming bacteria and bacteriocin- producing lactic acid bacteria (LAB) isolated from Myeolchi-jeot according to sequence analysis of the 16S rRNA gene, to evaluate the inhibitory effects of the bacteriocin on the growth and histamine accumulation of histamine-forming bacteria, and to assess the physico-chemical properties of the bacteriocin. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequences, histamine-forming bacteria were identified as Bacillus licheniformis MCH01, Serratia marcescens MCH02, Staphylococcus xylosus MCH03, Aeromonas hydrophila MCH04, and Morganella morganii MCH05. The five LAB strains identified as Pediococcus acidilactici MCL11, Leuconostoc mesenteroides MCL12, Enterococcus faecium MCL13, Lactobacillus sakei MCL14, and Lactobacillus acidophilus MCL15 were found to produce an antibacterial compound with inhibitory activity against the tested histamine-producing bacteria. The inhibitory activity of these bacteriocins obtained from the five LAB remained stable after incubation at pH 4.0-8.0 and heating for 10 min at $80^{\circ}C$; however, the bacteriocin activity was destroyed after treatment with papain, pepsin, proteinase K, ${\alpha}$-chymotrypsin, or trypsin. Meanwhile, these bacteriocins produced by the tested LAB strains also exhibited histamine-degradation ability. Therefore, these antimicrobial substances may play a role in inhibiting histamine formation in the fermented fish products and preventing seafood-related food-borne disease caused by bacterially generated histamine.

The study was conducted to investigate the condition for mixed fermentation of Rhodilola sachalinensis with red ginseng using Lactobacillus acidophillus 128 and the changes of physicochemical properties and antioxidant activities before and after the lactic acid fermentation was examined. In the single fermentation of Rhodiola sachalinensis extract, the pH and titratable acidity rarely changed, and the number of lactic acid bacteria decreased greatly. On the other hand, in the lactic acid fermentation of Rhodiola sachalinensis-red ginseng mixed extract of 50% red ginseng content, the pH decreased, whereas the titratable acidity and the number of lactic acid bacteria increased. The solid content of optimal mixed extract for lactic acid fermentation was 0.5%. Sugar content decreased during fermentation, but total phenolic compounds tended to increase during fermentation. The salidroside and p-tyrosol content of the initial Rhodiola sachalinensis-red ginseng mixed extract was 419.5 mg% and 60.1 mg%, respectively; after fermentation, the salidroside content after lactic acid fermentation decreased greatly to 81.8 mg%, and the amount of p-tyrosol increased greatly to 324.9 mg%. The DPPH scavenging activity of Rhodiola sachalinensis-red ginseng mixed fermentate was 78.1% at 0.1% concentration, showing a tendency to increase as compared to 50.3% of Rhodiola sachalinensis-red ginseng mixed extract before the fermentation (p<0.05); it was a higher antioxidant activity as compared to the single fermentation of Rhodiola sachalinensis or red ginseng.

To evaluate bile salt-tolerance of lactic acid bacteria (LAB, Lactobacillus acidophilus ATCC 4356, Lactobacillus casei IFO 3533, Streptococcus thermnophilus KCTC 2185, Lactobacillus lactis ATCC 4797, and Lactobacillus bulgaricus ATCC 11842), We investigated the survivals, acid production and $\beta $-galactosidase activity of LAB under anaerobic broth system. Cellular permeability of LAB and their cellular retention of $\beta $-galactosidase were also examined in the same system. Although the growth of LAB was slightly suppressed by 0.3% bile salt, they showed normal growth curve. Streptococcus thermophilus KCTC 2185 was significantly more resistant to bile salt than the others. The $\beta $-galactosidase activity from Streptococcus thermophilus KCTC 2185 and Lactobacillus bulgaricus ATCC 11842 and their cellular retention of $\beta $-galactosidase decreased by 0.3% bile salt. The cellular permeability of LAB in the presence of bile salt increased significantly.

Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are typical probiotic microbes which are used in various industries including fermented foods, feed additives, and pharmaceuticals. The purpose of this study was to compare the ability of antioxidative activities of 23 strains of LAB isolated from cheese, kimchi, yogurt, and etc. LAB were tested for antioxidative activities such as 2,2'- azino-bis(3-ethyl-benzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) (ABTS) radical scavenging abilities and superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like ability. Antioxidative activities were examined different media such as MRS, M17, and 10% skim milk. Culture supernatant in M17 medium showed a higher antioxidative activity than these in MRS and 10% skim milk. Comparison of ABTS radical scavenging ability by the LAB showed a wide variation with a range from 9~93% and SOD-like ability of LAB ranged from 70~78%, respectively. Therfore, some of LAB can play important roles in the protection for oxidative stress and CPP-producing activity of LAB may be a promising material for application in the dairy industry.

Probiotic bacteria have been administered to neonates to serve as maturational stimuli for the developing gut and intestinal immune system, establish and develop the intestinal microbiota, and mediate host-microbe interactions; further, these bacteria have shown beneficial effects In the treatment and reduction of the risk of infectious diseases, necrotizing enterocolitis, and atopic disease. An LAB isolation project to identify effective lactic acid bacteria for Korean people is in progress. The average total counts of lactic acid bacteria, lactobacilli, bifidobacteria, and coliforms in the fecal samples from 2 provinces were estimated as 8.31, 5.98, 8.13, and 3.01 CFU/g. Additional samples from other provinces will be analyzed to examine the changes in the lactic bacterial counts according to the area, sex of the neonate, mode of delivery, and type of feeding. A database containing the 16S rDNA sequences and the ribosomal protein profile of all the lactic acid bacteria isolated from fecal samples will be constructed. For the effective use of probiotics, a number of clinical studies are needed to formulate guidelines for strain, subject, purpose, and dose.

막걸리 양조시 품질변화 방지를 목적으로 젖산 첨가량에 따른 주모의 pH, 총산, ethanol 및 미생물 균수를 측정하고, 젖산 농도에 따른 주모별 막걸리를 제조하여 이화학적 및 관능평가 등 품질특성을 확인한 결과는 다음과 같다. 젖산 농도에 따른 주모의 pH는 젖산 0.5% 이상 첨가 시료구가 pH 3.31~3.33으로 젖산 무첨가구와 0.3% 첨가 시료구의 pH 3.52, 3.56에 비해 낮았다. 총산 함량은 젖산 무첨가구와 젖산 0.3%첨가 주모가 0.56%와 0.54%로 높게 나타났고, 0.5%첨가 주모는 0.51%로 가장 낮은 함량을 보였다. Ethanol 함량은 젖산을 첨가하지 않은 주모와 젖산을 첨가한 주모 모두 유의적 차이를 보이지 않았다. 주모의 미생물의 균수를 측정한 결과는 세균 및 젖산균은 젖산 첨가량이 증가할수록 감소하였고, 효모는 젖산을 첨가하지 않은 대조구와 비교해 0.3~0.5% 첨가구는 증가하였으나 0.7~1.0% 첨가구는 감소하였다. 젖산 첨가량에 따른 주모로 담금한 막걸리의 pH 및 총산은 0.5% 이상 첨가구에서 발효기간 동안 안정된 값을 보여 주모의 안전 제조에 적합한 조건을 보였다. 유기산은 lactic acid의 함량이 가장 높았고, succinic acid, tartaric acid, citric acid 및 acetic acid가 검출되었다. acetic acid는 젖산을 첨가하지 않은 시료구의 경우 390.88 mg%로 함량이 가장 높았고 젖산 첨가량이 증가할수록 낮았으며, 1.0% 첨가 시료구의 경우 검출되지 않았다. Ethanol 함량은 시료구별 차이를 보이지 않았고, 관능평가 결과 젖산 0.5%이상 첨가구부터 향, 맛 및 종합기호도에서 선호도가 좋은 결과를 보였다. 이러한 결과를 볼 때 젖산을 첨가하지 않은 주모에 비해 젖산을 첨가하여 주모를 제조할 경우 막걸리의 품질이 더 향상될 것으로 판단되며, 젖산량은 주모 중량대비 0.5%첨가가 적당할 것으로 사료된다.

This study was conducted to evaluate the practical usefulness of the sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PACE) fingerprinting of whole cell proteins far the identification of lactic acid bacteria in Kimchi. SDS- PACE of whole cell proteins of the reference strains and lactic acid bacteria isolated from Kimchi yielded differential banding patterns that were highly specific fingerprints, thus making it possible to identify. Identification of the isolates from Kimchi was achieved by comparing the SDS-PAGE fingerprints of isolates to those of reference strains. In addition, the reliability of SDS-PAGE was examined by comparing the results with those of the APL 50 CHL system assay and 16S rRNA gene sequence. SDS-PACE assay showed a different identity to reference strains, while the APL 50 CHL system and 16S rRNA gene sequence could not distinguish a few strains. Therefore, SDS-PAGE of the whole cell proteins is a specific and a reliable method that will be useful for the identification of lactic acid bacteria in Kimchi to the species level, and can be used as an alternative or complementary identification method.
