Lactobacillus amylovorus CACC736 was originated from swine feces in Korea. The complete genome sequences of the strain contained one circular chromosome (2,057,809 base pair [bp]) with 38.2% guanine-cytosine (GC) content and two circular plasmids, namely, pCACC736-1 and pCACC736-2. The predicted protein-coding genes, which are encoding the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-associated proteins, biosynthesis of bacteriocin (helveticin J), and the related proteins of the bile, acid tolerance. Notably, the genes related to vitamin B-group biosynthesis (riboflavin and cobalamin) were also found in L. amylovorus CACC736. Collectively, the complete genome sequence of the L. amylovorus CACC736 will aid in the development of functional probiotics in the animal industry.

Lactobacillus amylovorus are known to exist in the intestinal flora of healthy cattle or pigs. The L. amylovorus strain 1394N20 was isolated from the feces of the Hanwoo calf (Bos taurus coreanae). The genome of strain 1394N20 consists of a single circular chromosome (2,176,326 bp) with overall guanine + cytosine content of 37.8 mol%. Moreover, 2,281 protein-coding sequences, 15 rRNAs, and 65 tRNAs genes were identified in the chromosome based on the results of annotation. The bacterium has a gene encoding endoglucanase, an enzyme that hydrolyzes the 1,4-β-D-glycosidic linkages in cellulose, hemicellulose, lichenin, and cereal β-D-glucans. Genomic sequencing of L. amylovorus strain 1394N20 reveals the immense potential of the strain as a probiotic with nutrient digestibility.

Lactic acid production parameter optimization using Lactobacillus amylovorus NRRL B-4542 was performed using the design of experiments (DOE) available in the form of an orthogonal array and a software for automatic design and analysis of the experiments, both based on Taguchi protocol. Optimal levels of physical parameters and key media components namely temperature, pH, inoculum size, moisture, yeast extract, $MgSO_4{\cdot}7H_20$, Tween 80, and corn steep liquor (CSL) were determined. Among the physical parameters, temperature contributed higher influence, and among media components, yeast extract, $MgSO_4{\cdot}7H_20$, and Tween 80 played important roles in the conversion of starch to lactic acid. The expected yield of lactic acid under these optimal conditions was 95.80% and the actual yield at optimum conditions was 93.50%.

A lactic acid bacterium producing an antimicrobial substance against Escherichia coli O157:H7 was isolated from raw milk and identified as Lactobacillus amylovorus ME-1. In addition to E. coli O157 :H7, the antimicrobial substance also inhibited the growth of Bacillus cereus, Listeria monocytogenes, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella typhimurium, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus agalactiae, Streptococcus pyrogenes, and Yersinia enterocolitica. The antimicrobial substance was stable at pH 2-12 and $121^{\circ}C$ for 15 min and insensitive to proteinase K, protease, amylase, and catalase. Purification of the antimicrobial substance was conducted through methanol and acetonitrile/ethylacetate extraction, ultrafiltration with a 500 Da cutoff, thin layer chromatography (TLC) with silicagel 60, and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with a $C_{18}$ reverse phase column. The ${\lambda}_{max}$ of the purified antimicrobial substance was determined as 192 nm by ultra violet (UV) scanning, while the molecular weight was estimated as 453 Da based on the mass spectrum. Accordingly, the current results suggest that the antimicrobial substance from the L. amylovorus ME-1 was not a bacteriocin, but rather a new non-proteinaceous substance distinct from acidophilin, acidolin, diacetyl, and reuterin.

A 4.6-kb HindIII fragment encompassing the complete 140-kDa ${\alpha}$-amylase gene of Lactobacillus amylovorus B 4540 was cloned into pBR322 by the shot gun method. Southern blotting and restriction mapping for the insert were performed. The recombinant 9.0-kb plasmid, pFML1, conferred ${\alpha}$-amylase activity to E. coli and Lactococcus lactis hosts when introduced by electroporation. SDS-PAGE and zymography confirmed the production of 140-kDa ${\alpha}$-amylase and its proteolytic degradation products with enzyme activity in transformants. Total ${\alpha}$-amylase activity of E. coli $DH5{\alpha}$ cells harboring pFML1 was 1.8 units and most activity was detected from cell pellets. Total enzyme activity of L. lactis subsp. lactis MG1363 transformant was five to ten-fold lower than that of E. coli cell but more than half of the activity was detected in the culture supernatant.

Clostridium butyricum, Lactobacillus amylophillus, Lactobacillus amylovorus, Lactobacillus acidophillus, AI-9 produced hydrogen and /or organic acids using glucose, lactose and starch at the anaerobic culture conditions. Cl. butyricum NCIB 9576 evolved 1,700 ml H2/L-culture broth and accumulated butyric acid, acetic acid, propionic acid and ethanol in its culture broth when lactose was used as a carbon source during 24 hrs of fermentation. L. amylovorus ATCC 33620 accumulated lactic and acetic acids and some reducing sugars when starch was used as a carbon source without hydrogen production. Instead of starch as a carbon source, L. amylovorus ATCC 33620 produced lactic acid from algal biomass during fermentation and the acid-heat or freeze-thaw pretreatment of algal biomass accelerate the lactic acid fermentation.

Bacteria from the genus Lactobacillus are important for the production of fermented food and dairy products, and as symbionts in human and animals. Lactobacillus acidophilus has widely been used in the production of yogurt, health foods, and even medicines. The efficacy of L. acidophilus has been proven with regards to the reduction of cholesterol, prevention and treatment of diarrhea, modulation of the immune system, suppression of cancer, etc. Using molecular biology tools, Lactobacillus acidophilus has now been reclassified into six species: L. acidophilus, L. amylovorus, L. crispatus, L gallinarium, L. gasseri, and L. johnsonii. Thus, since L. acidophilus has now been marked as a newly defined species, caution is advised when reading future publications regarding this bacterium. In this article, the results of the reclassification of L. acidophilus are mentioned after an analysis of its field inheritance was performed by my research team. Especially, L. amylovorus KU4 (formerly named as L. acidophilus KU4; KCCM 10975P) is a novel probiotic strain that is isolated from humans; it has the ability to reduce cholesterol. It has also been reported as a microorganism that effectively inhibits the growth of pathogenic E. coli. However, this Korean patent (No 10-1541280) refers to a strain obtained from calves; the origin of this strain was incorrectly labeled. Furthermore, after the discovery of L. acidophilus in 1900, its role in intestinal microbiological research was described and its utilization as a probiotic was presented.

발효식품의 제조에 유용한 starter 개발 및 probiotics로서 이용 가능성을 타진하기 위하여 항균성 물질을 생산하는 Lactobacillus amylovorus IMC-1 균주를 이용한 skim milk medium에서의 산생성, 단백질 분해활성, lactose 분해활성 및 유사구균과 혼합발효 그리고 병원성 세균에 대한 살균력 등을 검토하였다. L. amylovorus IMC-1은 10% skim milk에 yeast extract를 첨가하여 12시간 배양하였을 때 산도 0.8%이었고, 72시간째에는 2.7%로 우수한 산 생성력을 보였다. IMC-1 균주의 ${\beta}-galactosidase$ 활성은 균체 1 mg당 약 $39{\mu}M/minute$로 매우 강한 반면, $phospho-{\beta}-galactosidase$의 활성은 매우 낮았다. 또한 이 균주는 10% skim milk에서 배양 12시간째 $6\;{\mu}g/mL$, 72시간째에 $69\;{\mu}g/mL$의 유리 tyrosine을 생산하여 단백질 분해활성이 낮았다. 전기영동상의 band pattern으로부터 casein중 ${\alpha}-casein$을 주로 이용하며, ${\beta}-casein$은 거의 이용하지 못함을 알 수 있었다. 10% skim milk에서 IMC-1 균주 및 St. thermophilus NIAI 510의 단독 또는 혼합배양을 실시한 결과, 혼합배양, IMC-1 균주 및 St. thermophilus 순으로 산 생성력이 높았으며, 유산구균 단독배양 및 혼합배양에서는 시간이 경과함에 따라 치즈 향기가 증가하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 10% skim milk medium에서 혼합배양에 의한 최적의 유산발효 시간은 산 생성력 및 공존 균수 등을 고려할 때, yeast extract 0.1% 첨가시에는 16시간, 0.5% 첨가시에는 12시간 배양하는 것이었다. IMC-1이 생산한 항균성 물질은 Escherichia coli O157을 배양 24시간째 2 log정도 감소시켰고, 48시간 배양 후에는 피검균이 검출되지 않았다. 또한 Shigella flexneri는 배양 4시간째 2 log이상 감소하였고, 6시간 배양 후에는 검출되지 않아 항균성 물질은 강한 살균작용을 나타냄을 알 수 있었다.
