This study aimed to investigate the physiological characteristics and anti-obesity effects of milk fermented by L. plantarum KI134. The lipase, α-amylase, and α-glucosidase inhibitory activities of milk fermented by L. plantarum KI134 was 94.57±1.25%, 9.44±2.85%, and 2.74±1.24% (10 fold dilution), respectively. L. plantarum KI134 showed higher sensitivity to clindamycin and erythromycin in comparison to sixteen different antibiotics. It demonstrated the highest resistance toward ampicillin and vancomycin. The strain showed higher β-galactosidase, leucine arylamidase, valine arylamidase, acid phosphatase, β-glucosidase, and N-acetyl-β-glucosaminidase activities compared to other enzymes. It also did not produce carcinogenic enzymes, such as β-glucuronidase. The survival rate of L. plantarum KI134 in 0.3% bile was 96.90%. Moreover, the strain showed a 91.45% survival rate at a pH of 2.0. L. plantarum KI134 has resistance to Escherichia coli, Salmonella Typhimurium, Listeria monocytogenes, and Staphylococcus aureus at the rates of 70.00%, 68.18%, 59.05%, and 40.63%, respectively. L. plantarum KI134 (23.01%) showed higher adhesion ability than the positive control (16.32%) L. rhamnosus GG. These results demonstrated that milk fermented by L. plantarum KI134 demonstrated an anti-obesity effect under in vitro conditions, with confirmed potential as a probiotic.

This study was carried out to investigate antimicrobial activities of ethanol extracts from 12 kinds of spices against Lactobacillus plantarum and Leuconostoc mesenteroides to kimchi fermentation. Lactic acid bacteria were isolated from fermenting kimchi, were identified as Leu. mesenteroides, Lac. sake, Lac. plantarum and Pediococcus pentosaceus. The ethanol extracts of cardamon, thyme and cumin among 12 spices showed antimicrobial activities against Lac. plantarum, while they did not showed the activites against Leu. mesenteroides through paper disc method. In addition, the growth of Lac. plantarum was inhibited in MRS broth containing each of cardamon(>4%), thyme(>4%) an cumin(>1%).

MRS 배지에 Lactobacillus plantarum을 접종하고 200ppm lysozyme에 0.1% glycine 또는 0.1%lysine을 단독 및 혼합 첨가하여 균의 성장 억제효과를 조사하였다. 각 첨가구 모두 대조구에 비하여 접종균 성장 억제효과가 높았으며, 특히 lysozyme과 glycine 혼합첨가구는 그 효과가 현저하므로 각각을 농도별로 조합첨가하였을 때 상승 또는 병용효과가 있었다. Lysozyme과 glycine 각각의 농도가 증가할수록 성장 억제효과는 증가하였으며, lysozyme 200ppm 이상과 glycine 0.5% 이상의 조합에서는 100% 성장 억제효과를 나타내었다. 또한 배지에 120ppm lysozyme과 0.1, 1, 10mM의 EDTA를 단독 및 혼합첨가하고 균의 성장 억제효과를 조사하였으며, 모든 첨가구에서 대조구보다 높은 억제효과를 나타내었고, 120ppm 이상의 lysozyme과 0.8mM 이상의 EDTA 혼합첨가구에서는 97% 억제효과가 인정되었다.

인간의 위장관은 매우 복잡한 장내균총으로 이루어져 있으며, 장내균총은 인간의 생리 기능에 있어 매우 중요한 역할을 담당하고 있다. 특히 유아기의 장내균총의 불균형은 면역연관 질병을 일으키는 요인이며 치료 목적으로 probiotics가 유용하게 활용되고 있다. Probiotics의 대표 균종은 L. plantarum으로서 영유아기에 병원균보다 가장 먼저 정착해야 면역 질환을 예방할 수 있다. 그러나 아직 Lactobacillus가 장의 우점종으로 정착하기 위한 환경적 요인과 항생물질분비 조절에 대한 이해는 부족한 실정이다.

효율적인 γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA)의 생산을 위해 Lactobacillus plantarum WCFS1로부터 글루탐산 탈탄산효소(glutamate decarboxylase, GAD)를 대장균에 발현, 정제 후 silica beads에 covalent coupling 방법을 이용하여 고정화하였다. 고정화된 효소의 특성을 고정화하지 않은 효소와 비교한 결과, 모든 pH의 범위(pH 3.5–6.0)에서 80% 이상의 활성을 나타내었으며 pH 안정성과 열 안정성 모두 증대되었다. 이 고정화 효소를 packed-bed reactor에 충진하여 GABA의 생산성을 확인한 결과 1리터당 1시간에 최대 41.7 g의 GABA 생산이 가능한 것으로 확인되었다.

김치에서 Lactobacillus plantarum Lp2를 분리하여 E.coli, Staphylococcus aureus 등 5종의 식품관련 세균에 대한 억제작용과 억제물질의 특성을 조사하였다. Lp2 배양액의 ether extract는 E.coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa 및 호냉성 균주 Pc1에 대하여는 매우 강한 억제작용을 보였으나, Stapylococcus aureus와 Streptococcus faecalis에 대하여는 그 작용이 미약하였다. 이 물질은 methanol, acetone 및 ether에 가용성이며 pH가 5~6 사이에서 억제작용을 나타내었으며 중성 부근에서는 그 작용이 상실되었다. 이 물질은 열에 비교적 안정하며 분자량은 1000 이하인것으로 밝혀졌고 TLC에 의한 분리 결과는 $R_f$값이 0.73인 band에 억제물질이 함유된 것으로 확인하였다.

This study was conducted to investigate the tyrosinase inhibitory and melanin production inhibitory activity of the distilled water extract of Dendropanax morbifera leaf (DMW) and the fermented extract by Lactobacillus plantarum (DMF). DMF was prepared by inoculation of L. plantarum after the extraction procedure with distilled water. Fermentation for 48 hours at $37^{\circ}C$ is the most effective condition in this study. In DPPH radical scavenging ability, $SC_{50}$ values of the fermented DMF was $37.9{\mu}g/ml$ as a result of more effective than DMW extract ($52.6{\mu}g/ml$). Moreover, tyrosinase inhibitory activity of DMF showed higher activity than DMW. In nontoxic concentration range, DMF showed strong melanin production inhibitory effect in ${\alpha}$-melanocyte stimulating hormone-stimulated B16F10 cell. As a result, the fermentation of the distilled water extract of D. morbifera leaf by L. plantarum could be applicable to functional materials production for skin-whitening agents.

This study was aimed to investigate the effect of glycine supplementation on the growth of Leuconostoc mesenteroides and Lactobacillus plantarum during kimchi fermentation. As preliminary experiment, the effect of supplementation of glycine (0-2.0%, w/v) to MRS medium on the growth of Leuc. mesenteroides and L. plantarum was evaluated. At 2.0% glycine in the MRS medium, cell growth rate was inhibited by 79% for L. plantarum and 27% for Leuc. mesenteroides. Subsequently, different concentrations of glycine (0, 0.5, and 2.0%, w/v) were applied for kimchi fermentation for 21 days, at $5^{\circ}C$. At day 14, the pH and titratable acidity (TA) of kimchi supplemented with 2.0% glycine were 4.83 and 0.38%, respectively, whilst the control kimchi had a pH of 4.49 and TA of 0.44%, respectively. The ratio of Leuconostoc/ Lactobacillus in kimchi increased as the concentration of glycine increased. The results show that the presence of glycine affected the growth of the 2 lactic acid bacteria, particularly of L. plantarum.

Lactobacillus species have been shown to enhance intestinal epithelial barrier function, modulate host immune responses, and suppress the growth of pathogenic bacteria, yeasts, molds, and viruses. Thus, lactobacilli have been used as probiotics for treating various diseases, including intestinal disorders, and as biological preservatives in the food and agricultural industries. However, the molecular mechanisms used by lactobacilli to suppress pathogenic bacterial infections have been poorly characterized. We previously isolated Lactobacillus plantarum JSA22 from buckwheat sokseongjang, a traditional Korean fermented soybean food, which possessed high enzymatic, fibrinolytic, and broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity against foodborne pathogens. In this study, we investigated the effects of L. plantarum JSA22 on the growth of S. Typhimurium and S. Typhimurium-induced cytotoxicity by stimulating the host immune response in intestinal epithelial cells. The results showed that coincubation of S. Typhimurium and L. plantarum JSA22 with intestinal epithelial cells suppressed S. Typhimurium infection, S. Typhimurium-induced NF-κB activation, and IL-8 production, and lowered the phosphorylation of both Akt and p38. These data indicated that L. plantarum JSA22 has probiotic properties, and can inhibit S. Typhimurium infection of intestinal epithelial cells. Our findings can be used to develop therapeutic and prophylactic agents against pathogenic bacteria.
