Azo dyes are recalcitrant pollutants, which are toxic, carcinogenic, mutagenic and teratogenic, that constitute a significant burden to the environment. The decolorization and the mineralization efficiency of Remazol Brillant Orange 3R (RBO 3R) was studied using a probiotic consortium (Lactobacillus acidophilus and Lactobacillus plantarum). Biodegradation of RBO 3R (750 ppm) was investigated under shaking condition in Mineral Salt Medium (MSM) solution at pH 11.5 and temperature $25^{\circ}C$. The bio-decolorization process was further confirmed by FTIR and UV-Vis analysis. Under optimal conditions, the bacterial consortium was able to decolorize the dye completely (>99%) within 12 h. The color removal was 99.37% at 750 ppm. Muliplex PCR technique was used to detect the Lactobacillus genes. Using phytotoxicity, cytotoxicity, mutagenicity and biototoxicity endpoints, toxicological studies of RBO 3R before and after biodegradation were examined. A toxicity assay signaled that biodegradation led to detoxification of RBO 3R dye.

재래식 된장으로부터 분리된 유산균은 형태학적, 생화학적 특성과 당 발효능 및 16S rRNA 염기서열 분석을 통해 Enterococcus faecium SBP12, Pediococcus halophilus SBP20, Lactobacillus fermentum SBP33, Leuconostoc mesenteroides SBP37, Pediococcus pentosaceus SBP41, Lactobacillus brevis SBP49, Lactobacillus acidophilus SBP55 및 Enterococcus faecalis SBP58로 동정되었다. SBP20, SBP33, SBP49와 SBP55 균주는 인공 위액과 담즙액 내에서 6 log cycle 이상 생균수를 유지하였으나, SBP12와 SBP58은 낮은 pH 하에서 2시간만에 균수가 급격하게 감소되었다. 특히, SBP49와 SBP55는 HT-29 세포에 대한 부착능이 높고, 항생제에 대한 저항성이 크며, Bacillus cereus ATCC 11778과 Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538의 식중독균에 대한 항균활성을 나타내었으므로, 이 두 균주는 프로바이오틱 선발 기준에 적합한 것으로 추정된다. 게다가 SBP49와 SBP55를 이용하여 사워도우를 제조한 결과, 발효 직후 도우 내 pH, 산도 및 유산균수에는 유의한 차이가 없었으나, SBP49는 많은 양의 유산을 생산한 반면, SBP55는 과산화수소를 더 많이 생산하였다. SBP49와 SBP55 유산균은 유산과 과산화수소뿐만 아니라 박테리오신 등의 항균물질을 생산하므로 사워도우 내 존재하는 식중독균 저해에 효과적이었다.

Recent study has demonstrated an increasing prevalence of food allergy in Korean children. Specific probiotic bacteria may promote potentially anti-allergenic processes through induction of Th1-type immunity and enhance the regulatory lymphocyte. This study investigated whether orally administrated probiotics could suppress allergic responses in an ovalbumin (OVA)-induced allergy mouse model. Thus, female C3H/HeJ mice were orally sensitized with OVA and cholera toxin for 4 weeks. Lactobacillus acidophilus AD031, Bifidobacterium lactis AD011, and L. acidophilus AD031 plus B. lactis AD011 were fed to mice from 2 weeks before the sensitization. The OVA-induced mice that were not treated with probiotics had significantly increased serum levels of OVA-specific IgE and IgG1, and OVA-specific IgA in feces. However, the mice treated with probiotics suppressed production of the OVA-specific IgE, IgG1, and IgA. The level of IL-4 was significantly lower, and the levels of INF-$\gamma$ and IL-10 were significantly higher in the mice treated with probiotics than that in the non-treated mice. The groups treated with probiotics had decreased levels of degranulated mast cells, eosinophil granules, and tail scabs. These results indicate that L. acidophilus AD031 and B. lactis AD011 might be useful for the prevention of allergy.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of glucose oxidase (GOX) immobilized on magnetic chitosan nanoparticles (MCNP) on the viability of probiotic bacteria and the physico-chemical properties of drinking yogurt. Different concentrations (0, 250, and 500 mg/kg) of free and immobilized GOX were used in probiotic drinking yogurt samples. The samples were stored at $4^{\circ}C$ for 21 d. During storage, reduction of the number of probiotic bacteria in the samples with enzyme was lower than the control sample (without enzyme). The sample containing 500 mg/kg immobilized enzyme had the highest number of Bifidobacterium lactis and Lactobacillus acidophilus. The samples containing immobilized enzyme had lower acidity than other samples. Moreover, moderate proteolytic activity and enough contents of flavor compounds were observed in these samples. It can be concluded that use of immobilized GOX is economically more feasible because of improving the viability of probiotic bacteria and the physico-chemical characteristics of drinking yogurt.

Purpose: Some probiotic strains reduce the duration of acute diarrhea. Because of strain and product specificity, each product needs to be supported by clinical data. This study aimed to test the efficacy of the synbiotic food supplement Probiotical (Streptococcus thermophilus, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium lactis, Bifidobacterium infantis, fructo-oligosaccharides) in children with acute gastroenteritis of likely infectious origin. The primary endpoint was the number of children with normal stool consistency during the treatment duration. Methods: A total of 46 children (aged 3.6 months to 12 years) with acute gastroenteritis that started less than 48 hours prior to their visit at a hospital-based emergency department were included in this prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled trial. All children were treated with oral rehydration solution and placebo (n=20) or the test product (n=26). Results: Significantly more children had a normal stool consistency on days 1 and 2 in the probiotic group: 5 children (20%) on day 1 in the probiotic group compared with none in the placebo group (p=0.046). On day 2, 11 children in the probiotic group (46%) and 3 (16%) in the placebo group (p=0.024) had a normal stool consistency. The mean duration of diarrhea was shorter in the probiotic group compared with that in the placebo group (3.04±1.36 vs. 4.20±1.34 days) (p=0.018). Conclusion: The test product was shown to normalize stool consistency significantly more rapidly than the placebo. These data confirm the findings from a previous study in a larger group of children performed in a primary healthcare setting.

We characterized the probiotic properties of Lactobacillus helveticus strains KII13 and KHI1 isolated from fermented cow milk by in vitro and in vivo studies. The strains exhibited tolerance to simulated orogastrointestinal condition, adherence to Caco-2 cells, and antimicrobial activity. Both L. helveticus strains produced bioactive tripeptides, isoleucylprolyl-proline and valyl-prolyl-proline, during fermentation of milk. KII13 showed higher in vitro cholesterol-lowering activity (47%) compared with KHI1 (28%) and L. helveticus ATCC 15009 (22%), and hence, it was selected for in vivo study of cholesterol-lowering activity in atherogenic diet-fed hypercholesterolemic mice. For the study, mice were divided into four groups (viz., normal diet control group, atherogenic diet control group (HCD), KII13-atherogenic diet group (HCD-KII13), and Lactobacillus acidophilus ATCC 43121-atherogenic diet group (HCD-L.ac) as positive control). The serum total cholesterol level was significantly decreased by 8.6% and 7.78% in the HCD-KII13 and HCD-L.ac groups (p < 0.05), respectively, compared with the HCD group. Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels in both HCD-KII13 and HCD-L.ac groups were decreased by 13% and 11%, respectively, compared with the HCD group (both, p < 0.05). Analysis of cholesterol metabolism-related gene expression in mice liver showed increased expression of LDLR and SREBF2 genes in mice fed with KII13. By comparing all the results, we conclude that L. helveticus KII13 could be used as a potential probiotic strain to produce antihypertensive peptides and reduce serum cholesterol.

The objective of this research was to combine the physiological functionality of probiotics (Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium longum) and the milk-clotting activity of culture filtrate from lao-chao to develop a new dairy product which was different from the commercial yogurt. Rhizopus javanicus and Saccharomyces cerevisiae were chosen as a mold and yeast starter for production of culture filtrate. The study results indicated that both probiotic counts increased with incubation time and maintained $10^7$-$10^8$ CFU/ml after 6 h incubation with 10-30% culture filtrates. By contrast, samples with 40% culture filtrates inhibited the growth of L. acidophilus and B. longum. The more culture filtrates were added, the lower titratable acidities and higher pH values in Kou Woan Lao were detected after 36 h fermentation. No significant differences (p>0.05) were found for both L. acidophilus and B. longum, when grown in differing concentrations of skim milk powders. Storage results showed both L. acidophilus and B. longum exhibited excellent stability for 14 days at $4^{\circ}C$ in the Kou Woan Lao.

Lactobacillus acidophilus n.v. Er2 317/402 strain Narine is known as a health beneficial functional probiotic culture and supplementary source of nutrition for newborns. In this study, in vitro antimicrobial activities of Narine-lyophilized (Narine-L), Narine-heat treated (Narine-HT), and Narine crude cell-free extract (Narine-CCFE) were evaluated against pathogen Cronobacter sakazakii (C. sakazakii) in agar as well as in a reconstituted powdered infant formula (RPIF) model. Inhibition zones of 30 mg Narine-L and Narine-HT were both 150 U, whereas inhibition zone of 30 mg Narine-CCFE was 200 U. Narine-L (1 g) and Narine-HT (1 g) were added to 10 mL of artificially contaminated RPIF, respectively, containing 100 μL of C. sakazakii (1.62×10⁸ colony forming unit (CFU)/mL). After treatment with Narine-L and Narine-HT for 3 h and 6 h at 37℃, less than ≤107 CFU/mL of C. sakazakii was detected in RPIF. Without Narine-L and Narine-HT treatment, the population of C. sakazakii increased up to 5.36×10⁹ CFU/mL after 6 h. Examination by transmission electron microscopy confirmed C. sakazakii cells were damaged by Narine-CCFE. Thus, employing Narine culture as a natural and safe bio-preservative may protect infants from C. sakazakii.

본 연구에서는 한국인 분변으로 부터 분리, 동정된 Lactobacillus 속 균주의 종별 출현빈도, 산 생성능, 인공 위액 및 인공 담즙에 대한 내성, cholesterol 저하능력 등이 검토되었다. 생후3일부터 37세까지의 총 13명의 남·여의 분변으로부터 총 52균주의 Lactobacilli가 분리되었고 이 중 L. acidophilus가 19주로 가장 많았으며 다음으로 L. plantarum 순이었다. 분리주 중 L. acidophilus로 동정된 17주와 L. casei로 동정된 3주에 대해서 생리적 특성을 검토한 바 각각 다음과 같은 결과가 얻어졌다. 인공위액에 대한 내성 실험결과 L. acidophilus a-4는 pH 2.5에서 3시간 경과 후에도 전혀 사멸하지 않고 100% 생존하는 것으로 나타났으며, L. acidophilus a-2와 L. casei b-3도 75%이상의 높은 생존율을 나타내었다. 나머지 13주는 40%이하의 생존율을 나타내어, 균주 별로 인공위액에 대한 내성은 큰 차이를 나타났다. 내 담즙성을 측정한 결과 L. acidophilus a-3를 포함한 4주는 성장에 지장을 받지 않았으나 대부분의 분리 균주는 생균수가 처리전 보다 $54{\sim}99%$ 정도로 감소되는 것으로 나타나 인공위액 내성과 마찬가지로 균주에 따라 편차가 큰 것으로 나타났다. 환원 탈지유를 이용한 산생성능에 있어서는 두 L. acidophilus 균주 (a-2 및 a-16)가 60시간 경과 후 $2.1{\sim}2.3%$의 적정 산도까지 도달하였고 이때 pH는 $3.5{\sim}3.6%$이었다 60시간 배양 후 적정 산도가 0.8%에 도달하지 못한 것은 총 20주중 10주였다. 한편 cholesterol 저하능을 측정한 결과 공시한 20개 분리주 중에서 L. acidophilus a-2 주와 a-6 주가 70% 이상의 우수한 저하능력을 나타냈고, 12균주가 60% 이상의 저하능을 나타냈다. cholesterol 저하능은 동일 균종이라 하더라도 분리원(사람)은 물론 동일 분리원에서 유래된 균주 간에도 큰 차이가 나타났다. 담즙산에 대한 내성과 cholesterol 저하능력과의 관련성은 상호간의 유의적인 관계가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 결론적으로 본 실험에서 얻은 몇 균주는 인체에 섭취될 경우 사멸하지 않고 소화관 하부까지 도달할 수 있는 잠재성이 있었으며, 따라서 이들 분리주는 정장제로 이용될 수 있다고 생각되었다.
