  • Phytochemical compounds of Ligusticum striatum Makino are used as traditional medicinal herbs in Asia. These compounds are reported to have pain relief and antioxidant activities in gynecological and brain diseases. In this study, we investigated the antioxidant effects of Ligusticum fermented ethanol extract from Lactobacillus plantarum BHN-LAB 129 isolated from Kimchi, a Korean traditional food. The total polyphenol and total flavonoid contents increased by about 116.2% and 281.0% respectively, in the fermented Ligusticum extract as compared with those in the nonfermented Ligusticum ethanol extract. Superoxide dismutase-like (SOD), DPPH radical scavenging, ABTS radical scavenging, and reducing power activities increased by around 139.9%, 199.6%, 301.0%, and 137.1%, respectively, in the fermented Ligusticum ethanol extract as compared with these parameters in the nonfermented Ligusticum ethanol extract, respectively. In conclusion, the fermented Ligusticum ethanol extract with L. plantarum BHN-LAB 129 was effective in increasing the antioxidant effects. The bioconversion process in this study points to the potential of using Ligusticum to produce phytochemical-enriched natural antioxidant agents with high added value. The findings may prove useful in the development of improved foods and cosmetic materials.

  • This study was conducted to develop an economical optimum medium composition for the mass production of $Lactobacillus$ $plantarum$ and $Lactobacillus$ $reuteri$, livestock probiotics. Medium ingredient factors were selected on the basis of MRS broth composition, and the 15 ingredient variables were as follows: sucrose, glucose, molasses, yeast extract, corn steep liquor, soy peptone, dipotassium phosphate, manganese chloride, magnesium chloride, tween 80, sodium chloride, sodium acetate, ammonium citrate, sodium sulphate, and ferrous sulphate. The Plackett Burman design, consisting of 20 runs, was employed for the analysis of ingredient effects on cell growth of $L.$ $plantarum$ and $L.$ $reuteri$. As a result, sucrose, glucose, molasses, yeast extract, corn steep liquor, soy peptone, sodium acetate, and ammonium citrate positively influenced the growth of $L.$ $plantarum$. Additionally, yeast extract, soy peptone, $K_2PHO_4$, and tween 80 positively influenced the growth of $L.$ $reuteri$. Positive effects were found from sucrose, yeast extract, and soy peptone in the integrated analysis of the effects of both $L.$ $plantarum$ and $L.$ $reuteri$. Finally, effective medium components for both strains were found as follows: sucrose (20.0 g/l), glucose (5.0 g/l), soy peptone (11.0 g/l), yeast extract (5.0 g/l), $K_2PHO_4$ (0.2 g/l), $CH_3COONa$ (2 g/l), and $MgCl_2$ (0.02 g/l).

  • Recently, poly-γ-glutamic acid synthetase A (pgsA) has been applied to display exogenous proteins on the surface of Lactobacillus casei or Lactococcus lactis, which results in a surface-displayed component of bacteria. However, the ability of carrying genes encoded by plasmids and the expression efficiency of recombinant bacteria can be somewhat affected by the longer gene length of pgsA (1,143 bp); therefore, a truncated gene, pgsA, was generated based on the characteristics of pgsA by computational analysis. Using murine IL-10 as an exogenous gene, recombinant Lactobacillus plantarum was constructed and the capacity of the surface-displayed protein and functional differences between exogenous proteins expressed by these strains were evaluated. Surface expression of IL-10 on both recombinant bacteria with anchorins and the higher expression levels in L. plantarum-pgsA'-IL-10 were confirmed by western blot assay. Most importantly, up-regulation of IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, IFN-γ, and the nuclear transcription factor NF-κB p65 in RAW264.7 cells after stimulation with Poly(I:C) or LPS was exacerbated after co-culture with L. plantarum-pgsA. By contrast, IL-10 expressed by these recombinant strains could reduce these factors, and the expression of these factors was associated with recombinant strains that expressed anchorin (especially in L. plantarum-pgsA'-IL-10) and was significantly lower compared with the anchorin-free strains. These findings indicated that exogenous proteins could be successfully displayed on the surface of L. plantarum by pgsA or pgsA', and the expression of recombinant bacteria with pgsA' was superior compared with bacteria with pgsA.

  • Kimchi is a group of traditional fermented vegetable foods in Korea and known to be the product of a natural mixed-fermentation process carried out principally by lactic acid bacteria (LAB). According to microbial results based on conventional identification, Leuconostoc mesenteroides and Lactobacillus plantarum were considered to be responsible for the good taste and over-ripening of kimchi, respectively. However, with the application of phylogenetic identification, based on 16S ribosomal RNA gene similarities, a variety of Leuconostoc and Lactobacillus species not detected in the previous studies have been isolated, together with a species in the genus Weissella. Additionally, Lactobacillus sakei has been accepted as the most populous LAB in over-ripened kimchi. In this study, Leuconostoc and Weissella species inhibiting the growth of Lb. sakei were isolated from kimchi for future applications to do with kimchi fermentation. From 25 kimchi samples, 378 strains in the genera Leuconostoc and Weissella were isolated and 68 strains identified as Lc. mesenteroides, Lc. citreum, Lc. lactis, W. cibaria, W. confusa, and W. paramesenteroides exhibited growth inhibition against Lb. sakei. Most of the strains also had antagonistic activities against Lb. brevis, Lb. curvatus, Lb. paraplantarum, Lb. pentosus, and Lb. plantarum. Their antagonistic activities against Lb. sakei were more remarkable at lower temperatures of incubation.

  • This study was conducted to establish process conditions for plant-originated lactic acid production using a mixed culture of plant originated lactic acid bacteria, Lactobacillus sakei B2-16, and Lactobacillus plantarum P23, which were isolated from kimchi, and Bacillus subtilis, which was TP6 isolated from Denjang. Soybean medium was pretreated for 10 minutes at $110^{\circ}C$ and hydrolyzed with 0.2%(w/v) cellulase at $55\sim60^{\circ}C$ for at least 2 hrs. The quality of the final fermentation product was influenced by the inoculation ratio of the Lactobacillus sakei B2-16, Lactobacillus plantarum P23, and Bacillus subtilis TP6. The optimum microorganism inoculation ratio was 1:0.7:0.3, Lactobacillus sakei B2-16: Lactobacillus plantarum P23: Bacillus subtilis TP6, respectively. The sensory characteristics of the product were a refreshing sourness and a soft flavor.

  • This study was designed to find the most suitable method and wall material for microencapsulation of the Lactobacillus plantarum to maintain cell viability in different environmental conditions. To improve the stability of L. plantarum, we developed an encapsulation system of L. plantarum, using water-in-oil emulsion system. For the encapsulation of L. plantarum, corn starch and glyceryl monostearate were selected to form gel beads. Then 10% (w/v) of starch was gelatinized by autoclaving to transit gel state, and cooled down at $60^{\circ}C$ and mixed with L. plantarum to encapsulate it. The encapsulated L. plantarum was tested for the tolerance of acidic conditions at different temperatures to investigate the encapsulation ability. The study indicated that the survival rate of the microencapsulated cells in starch matrix was significantly higher than that of free cells in low pH conditions with relatively higher temperature. The results showed that corn starch as a wall material and glycerol monostearate as a gelling agent in encapsulation could play a role in the viability of lactic acid bacteria in extreme conditions. Using the current study, it would be possible to formulate a new water-in-oil system as applied in the protection of L. plantarum from the gastric conditions for the encapsulation system used in chicken feed industry.

  • Probiotics are live microbial feed supplements which beneficially affect the host animal by improving its intestinal microflora. To select the best Lactobacillus spp. as a chicken probiotic, probiotic characteristics of 10 selected Lactobacillus strains isolated from chicken cecum or obtained from KCTC were investigated. The strains were examined for resistance to pH 2.0 and 0.3% oxgall, and adhesion to cecal mucus and cecal epithelial cells. All strains grew in MRS containing 0.3% oxgall. However, Lb. plantarum AYM-10, Lb. fermentum YL-3, AYM-3, and Lb. paracasei YL-6 showed relatively high resistance to 0.3% oxgall. Lb. fermentum YL-3, YM-5, AYM-3, and Lb. paracasei YL-6 survived 4 hours of incubation at pH 2.0. Lb. fermentum YL-3, KCTC 3112, and Lb. plantarum AYL-5 were strongly adhesive to cecal mucus, while the rest showed moderate or low adhesion. Lb. plantarum AYM-10, AYL-1, and AYL-5 had good adhering properties to cecal epithelial cells (30.7$\pm$10.82, 40.2$\pm$20.90, and 14.5$\pm$4.22, respectively). Lb. fermentum YL-3, AYM-3, and KCTC 3547 showed Intermediate adhesion ability, and Lb. plantarum showed better adhesion ability to cecal epithelial cells than Lb. fermentum. Attached Lb. fermentum YL-3 to cecum after 60 min incubation was confirmed using CLSM. Lb. fermentum YL-3 attached to a matrix which was composed of a mucus layer adjacent to intracrypts and pericryptal region. Some Lb. fermentum YL-3 bound to mucosal epithelial cells. From these results, Lb. fermentum YL-3 was selected as a chicken probiotic. In vivo trials of chicks inoculated with Lb. fermentum YL-3 had decreased Salmonella population in cecal contents and livers (p<0.5).

  • Lactobacillus salivarius JWS 58 (JWS 58) and Lactobacillus plantarum JWS 1354 (JWS 1354) are isolated from duck intestine and have ability to produce bacteriocin. The objective of this study was to evaluate the immunomodulatory effects of JWS 58 and JWS 1354. The nitric oxide (NO) and cytokines (IL-$1{\beta}$ and TNF-${\alpha}$) were measured in C57BL/6 mouse peritoneal macrophages to determine immune enhancing effects of JWS 58 and JWS 1354. A Listeria (L.) monocytogenes challenge mice model was used to evaluate immune enhancement ability of JWS 58 and JWS 1354 in vivo. The results showed that JWS 58 and JWS 1354 increased the production of NO or cytokines by peritoneal macrophages and that oral administration of viable probiotic strains in mice elicited the immuno-modulatory effect upon L. monocytogenes challenge. JWS 1354 showed stronger immune enhancing effects than JWS 58. Collectively, this study demonstrated that Lactobacillus strain JWS 58 and JWS 1354 possess immune enhancing effect. Furthermore, two stains are expected to use feed supplement to prevent diseases by pathogenic bacteria through releasing bacteriocin and enhancing host immune responses in animal.

  • Coffee is a commonly consumed beverage that contains anti-inflammatory compounds such as caffeine, chlorogenic acid, cafestol, trigonelline, and kahweol. Lactobacillus plantarum is a lactic acid bacterium most frequently used in the fermentation of food products of plant origin. L. plantarum is able to degrade some food phenolic compounds and provide high value-added compounds such as powerful antioxidants or food additives approved as flavouring agents. In this study, we investigated the anti-inflammatory effects of coffee extract fermented by L. plantarum on RAW264.7 macrophages. In lipopolysaccharide-stimulated RAW264.7 cells, these coffee extracts exhibited anti-inflammatory activities through the reduction of nitric oxide (NO) production and inducible NO synthase expression. Fermented coffee extracts significantly decreased the expression of inflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor ${\alpha}$, interleukin $1{\beta}$, interleukin 6, and interferon ${\gamma}$. Cyclooxygenase-2, which is one of the key biomarkers for inflammation, was significantly suppressed. These results might be helpful for understanding the anti-inflammatory mechanism of fermented coffee extract on immune cells and, moreover, suggest that fermented coffee extract may be a beneficial anti-inflammatory agent.

  • Skin is the soft outer covering of vertebrates that provides protection from pathogenic infection, physical damage, or UV irradiation, and controls body temperature and water content. In this study, we examined the effects of oral intake of kimchi-derived Lactobacillus plantarum K8 lysates on skin moisturizing. In an in vitro study, we observed that the hyaluronic acid content increased in HaCaT cells treated with L. plantarum K8 lysates. Oral administration of L. plantarum K8 lysates effectively attenuated the horny layer formation and decreased epidermal thickening in DNCB-treated SKH-1 hairless mice skin. The damage to barrier function was reduced after 8 weeks of oral administration of L. plantarum K8 lysates as compared with that in the atopic dermatitis mice. For the test with volunteers, we manufactured experimental candy containing 2.1% L. plantarum K8 lysates, while control candy did not contain bacterial lysate. A significant increase in hydration in the experimental candy-administered group as compared with the control candy-administered group was observed on the face after 4 and 8 weeks, and on the forearm after 4 weeks. Decreases in horny layer thickness and TEWL value were observed on the face and forearm of the experimental group. Together, the in vitro cell line and in vivo mouse studies revealed that L. plantarum K8 lysates have a moisturizing effect. A clinical research study with healthy volunteers also showed an improvement in barrier repair and function when volunteers took L. plantarum K8 lysates-containing candy. Thus, our results suggest that L. plantarum K8 lysates may help to improve skin barrier function.
