유산균은 국내외 연구진들에 의하여 피부장벽을 강화하는 효능 및 미백, 보습효과가 뛰어나다는 연구 결과가 보고된 바 있다[5, 26]. Lactic acid인 Lactobacillus rhamnosus는 보편적으로 많이 사용하는 프로바이오틱스인 Lactobacillus casei보다 낮게 측정되는 세포독성 결과와 높은 tyrosinase 억제활성을 바탕으로 멜라닌 생성을 줄임에 따라 미백활성을 가진다. 또한 Lactobacillus rhamnosus 파쇄물은 melanoma cell의 멜라닌 생성 저해능이 Lactobacillus casei보다 월등히 높아, 높은 미백 향장 활성을 가지는 것을 확인 할 수 있다(Table 2). 이는 곧 천연물질로써 기존에 사용하던 합성미백제보다 피부에 독성을 주지 않고, 부작용 없이 피부에 적합한 향장소재로 판단되며, 현대의 새로운 미백향장소재로서 활용가능성이 매우 높을 것으로 사료된다. 더 나아가 항산화 활성은 멜라닌 세포 형성 억제에 직접적으로 영향을 주며, 주름 및 노화 등의 출발점이 되어, 미백 활성도 증가됨을 확인할 수 있다. 따라서, 기능성 향장소재로써 가치가 높은 Lactobacillus rhamnosus는 합성물질 및 기타 천연물을 대체할 수 있는 항산화 및 미백 기능성 향장소재로 다가갈 수 있으며, 향장소재로써 선택의 폭을 늘릴 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

In this study, 69 lactobacilli isolated from Tibetan Qula, a raw yak milk cheese, were screened for their potential use as probiotics. The isolates were tested in terms of: Their ability to survive at pH 2.0, pH 3.0, and in the presence of 0.3% bile salts; tolerance of simulated gastric and intestinal juices; antimicrobial activity; sensitivity against 11 specific antibiotics; and their cell surface hydrophobicity. The results show that out of the 69 strains, 29 strains (42%) had survival rates above 90% after 2 h of incubation at pH values of 2.0 or 3.0. Of these 29 strains, 21 strains showed a tolerance for 0.3% bile salt. Incubation of these 21 isolates in simulated gastrointestinal fluid for 3 h revealed survival rates above 90%; the survival rate for 20 of these isolates remained above 90% after 4 h of incubation in simulated intestinal fluid. The viable counts of bacteria after incubation in simulated gastric fluid for 3 h and simulated intestinal fluid for 4 h were both significantly different compared with the counts at 0 h (p<0.001). Further screening performed on the above 20 isolates indicated that all 20 lactobacilli strains exhibited inhibitory activity against Micrococcus luteus ATCC 4698, Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6633, Listeria monocytogenes ATCC 19115, and Salmonella enterica ATCC 43971. Moreover, all of the strains were resistant to vancomycin and streptomycin. Of the 20 strains, three were resistant to all 11 elected antibiotics (ciprofloxacin, erythromycin, tetracycline, penicillin G, ampicillin, streptomycin, polymyxin B, vancomycin, chloramphenicol, rifampicin, and gentamicin) in this study, and five were sensitive to more than half of the antibiotics. Additionally, the cell surface hydrophobicity of seven of the 20 lactobacilli strains was above 70%, including strains Lactobacillus casei 1,133 (92%), Lactobacillus plantarum 1086-1 (82%), Lactobacillus casei 1089 (81%), Lactobacillus casei 1138 (79%), Lactobacillus buchneri 1059 (78%), Lactobacillus plantarum 1141 (75%), and Lactobacillus plantarum 1197 (71%). Together, these results suggest that these seven strains are good probiotic candidates, and that tolerance against bile acid, simulated gastric and intestinal juices, antimicrobial activity, antibiotic resistance, and cell surface hydrophobicity could be adopted for preliminary screening of potentially probiotic lactobacilli.

Lectin activities and chemical characteristics of Escherichia coli, Lactobacillus spp. and Bifidobacterium spp. originating from the porcine cecal mucosal layer were studied based on hemagglutination assay (HA) and hemagglutination inhibition assay (HIA). Although all the bacterial strains were able to agglutinate erythrocytes of porcine or rabbit origin, much higher HA titers were consistently observed for Lactobacillus spp. than for E. coli or for Bifidobacterium spp. A remarkable reduction in HA titers occurred by the treatment of E. coli and Lactobacillus spp. with protease or trypsin and of Bifidobacterium spp. with protease, trypsin or periodate. There were no significant effects on the HA titers of the three groups of bacteria after the treatment with lipase. Hemagglutination of E. coli was strongly inhibited by D (+)-mannose and D (+)-galactose; Lactobacillus spp. by $\alpha$-L-rhamnose and methyl-$\beta$-galactopyranoside; Bifidobacterium spp. by D (+)-alactose, $\alpha$-L-rhamnose, $\alpha$-L-fucose, L (+)-arabinose, D (+)-mannose, D (-)-fructose at a relatively low concentration (1.43 to 3.75 mg/ml). These results, combined with the enhanced HA activities of the three bacterial strains by modification of rabbit erythrocytes with neuraminidase and abolished HA activity of E. coli after treatment with $\beta$-galactosidase, indicate that it might be the glycoproteinous substances surrounding the surface of the bacterial cells that are responsible for the adhesions of these microorganisms by recognizing the specific receptors on the red blood cell.

The 14 lactic acid bacteria (LAB) have been evaluated to determine the binding capacity to HT29 cell and Aflatoxin $B_1$ ($AFB_1$). The interaction of LAB to HT29 cells has been further investigated to identify the possibility of competing the binding sites with $AFB_1$. Of 14 LAB strains, Lactobacillus casei KCTC 3260 demonstrated the higher adhesiveness to HT29 and $AFB_1$ with the rate of 19.6% and 46.3%, respectively. In competitive analysis for binding sites, the adhesion of L. casei KCTC 3260 to HT29 cells was reduced with 100 nmol $AFB_1$ by 31.2%. The protoplast of L. casei KCTC 3260 showed no binding capacity to HT29 cells with increment of $AFB_1$ concentration, indicating that cell wall components might serve as a critical factor for the binding. To discriminate the major component influencing on L. casei KCTC 3260 binding to HT29 cells and $AFB_1$, four different pre-treatments (lipase, pronase E, sodium m-periodate, and urea) were employed. Of those, sodium m-periodate treatment caused the lower adhesion of L. casei KCTC 3260 to HT29 cells with the increment of $AFB_1$ concentration. These results indicated that carbohydrate moiety on the cell wall of L. casei KCTC 3260 might be the most critical component in binding to both HT29 cells and $AFB_1$.

김치 및 발효유 제품으로부터 분리한 유산균과 공시균주 12종을 대상으로 보체 용혈 분석법을 이용하여 면역계에서 중요한 역할을 담당하고 있는 보체계 활성화(항보체 활성, $TCH_{50}$) 정도를 측정한 결과, 김치로 부터 분리한 Lactobacillus plantarum이 타 유산균 종에 비해 높은 활성을 나타내었다. 이들 균주로 부터 조제된 세포벽 획분의 경우 세포질 획분보다도 높은 활성을 보였으며 각 획분의 활성은 농도 의존적 경향을 나타내었다. L. plantarum의 세포질 획분과 세포벽 획분의 경우 pronase 소화 후에는 활성의 변화가 없는 반면, 과요오드산 처리에 의해서는 급격한 활성의 감소를 나타내는데 이들 결과로부터 L. plantarum의 세포질과 세포벽 획분에 의한 보체계 활성화가 주로 다당 영역에 기인함을 알수 있었다. 한편 anti-human C3를 이용한 2차원 면역전기영동에 의해, $Ca^{++}$ 이온을 제거한 상태에서도 세포질과 세포벽 획분에 의한 C3 활성화 산물을 동정할 수 있었다. 또한 L. plantarum의 세포벽 획분에 의한 항보체 활성은 동일 조건에서 활성을 유지한 반면, 세포질 획분에 의한 활성화 정도는 동일 조건에서 상당히 감소하였다. 이상의 결과로부터 L. plantarum 세포벽 획분의 보체계 활성화 양식은 주로 alternative pathway의 활성화에 의한 것이며, 세포질 획분에 의한 활성화는 classical pathway와 alternative pathway 양 경로를 경유함을 알 수 있었다.

In the present study, we investigated the effect of tyndallized HY7712 (tHY7712) on the expression of Th cell specific transcription factors and cytokines in whole-body ${\gamma}$-irradiated mice. Oral administration of tHY7712 strongly recovered the ${\gamma}$-irradiation-suppressed expression of helper T (Th) cell- and regulatory T cell-related transcription factors and cytokines, such as T-bet, Foxp3, IFN-${\gamma}$, TNF-${\alpha}$, and IL-10, and suppressed Th2 cell-associated transcription factor and cytokine GATA3 and IL-5, respectively. Furthermore, compared with the control, tHY7712 treatment also restored ${\gamma}$-irradiation-impaired natural killer and cytotoxic T cell activities against YAC-1 tumor cells to 97.8% and 98.6%, respectively.

가루녹차를 첨가한 기능성 요구르트를 개발하기 위한 기초 연구로 가루녹차의 농도별 첨가가 요구르트 균주의 증식 및 산 생성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 가루녹차를 첨가한 skim milk 배지에 Streptococcus thor-mophilus, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus casei 를 단독 균주 및 혼합 균주로 접종하여 배양하면서 생 균수와 pH 및 적정산도를 측정하였다. 단독균주의 경우 가루녹차의 첨가 농도($0.5\%,\;1.0\%,\;1.5\%,\;2.0\%\;and\;2.5\%$)를 달리하였을 때 streptococcus thermophilus와 Lactobacillus casei는 가루녹차 첨가에 의해 증식 효과는 아주 미비하였으나 억제 효과가 나타나지 않았으며, Lactobacillus acidophilus는 배양 9시간부터 가루녹차 첨가구에서 대조구에 비해 높은 균수를 보이며 약간의 생육 촉진 효과를 보였고, 배양 12시간부터 pH가 하락하였고 적정산도는 상승하였다. 그러나 가루녹차의 첨가량에 따른 생육과 산 생성 정도에 미치는 영향의 차이는 뚜렷하지 않았다. 혼합 균주의 경우, 단독균주로 배양하였을 때보다 가루녹차에 의한 유산균의 증식이 촉진되었다. Streptococcus thermophilus와 Lac-tobacillus acidophilus는 가루녹차 $0.5\%$와 $1.0\%$ 첨가시, 배양 15시간 후에 각각 $1.5\times10^9$ CFU/mL, 또한 Streptococcus thermophilus와 Lactobacillus casei는 가루녹차 $0.5\%$ 첨가시 배양 12시간 후 $1.4\times10^9$ CFU/mL, $1.0\%$ 첨가시에는 배양 15시간 후에 $1.5\times10^9$ CFU/mL로 최대 균수를 나타내었으며, pH 저하와 적정산도 상승이 뚜렷하였다. 따라서 가루녹차 첨가 기능성 요구르트 제조시 가루녹차를 $0.5\~l.0\%$ 첨가하여 유산균을 혼합균주로 사용하는 것이 이들 유산균의 증식에 가장 적합한 것으로 나타났다.

Gene for lactose catabolism in Lactobacillus casei SW-M1 was encoded by a 60Kb metabolic plasmid. A derivative of only 10kb, pPlac 15 of recombinant plasmid, was constructed by introducing into pBR322 and was cloned into E. coli using restriction endonuclease Pst I. A 10kb insery DNA in plasmid pBR322 was identified as a gene encoded phospho-$\beta$-galactosidase by the determination of enzyme activity. Phospho-$\beta$-galactosidase was apparently expressed in E. coli. The enzyme activities of cell-free extract from transformant E. coli HB101 carrying pPLac 15 DNA were not different from that of L. casei as a donor strain on the basis of enzyme properites. However, specific activity of phospho-$\beta$-galactosidase in the cloned strain with Lac $Y^{-}$ phenotype of E. coli HB101 was lower than that in L. casei strain.

A bioflocculant producing bacterium for wastewater treatment was isolated and identified as Lactobacillus jensenii. The bioflocculant was supposed as a polysaccharide. Lactobacillus jensenii YW-33 produced the flocculant with highest activity in the medium composed of 2% sucrose, 0.05% tryptone, 0.5% yeast extract, 0.01% K$_{2}$HPO$_{4}$, 0.01% KH$_{2}$PO$_{4}$, 0.01% NaCl, 0.005% MnSO$_{4}$, 5H$_{2}$O and 0.2% Tween 80. The optimal culture pH and temperature were 7.0 and 25$\circ$C, respectively. In the time course of production with jar fermentor, the productivity of the flocculant was increased in proportion to the cell growth and the cultivation time for maximum production was 24 hrs, showing flocculating activity of 1,130 units per ml.

Human malignant melanoma is an aggressive skin cancer which has been rising at a greater rate than any other cancers. Although various new therapeutic methods have been developed in previous studies, this disease has properties of high proliferation and metastasis rate which remain obstacles that have lead to a poor prognosis in patients. It has been reported that a specific Lactobacillus extract has anti-cancer and -metastasis effect in vitro and in vivo. However, previous research has not specified precisely what effect the Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG) extract has had on human malignant melanomas. In this study, we showed that the LGG extract has anti-cancer and -metastasis effects on the human malignant melanoma cell lines, A375P and A375SM. At first, it was found that, while the LGG extract affects human neonatal dermal fibroblasts slightly, it induced the dose-dependent anti-cancer effect on A375P and A375SM by a WST-1 proliferation assay. As a result of a real-time PCR analysis, the expression patterns of several genes related to cell cycle, proliferation, and apoptosis were modulating in a manner that inhibited the growth of both malignant melanoma cell lines after the treatment of the LGG extract. Furthermore, genes related to the epithelial-mesenchymal transition were down-regulated, and migration rates were also decreased significantly by the LGG extract. Our study showed that the LGG extract could be used as a potential therapeutic source.
