This study was aimed to determine the accumulation of free fatty acid by mesophilic lactic acid bac-teria (Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis 1471, Lactococcus lactis subsp. cremoris 1000 and Lactobacillus casei 111) in cold-stored milk. According to the results, all cold-stored milks had higher acid degree val-ues than those of fresh milk. This phenomenon showed that a slight increase occurred in the accumulation of free fatty acids as a result of spontaneous lipolysis during cold storage. All lactic acid bacteria showed good performance in production of titratable acidity, which increased during fermentation of the milk (fresh and stored milks). Moreover, as the storage time was prolonged, more free fatty acid accumulation was obtained from the fermentation of the cold-stored milk by the investigated lactic acid bacteria. The control milk, which was without lactic acid bacteria, showed no change in the accumulation of free fatty acid during fermentation. From this result, it can be suggested that longer cold-storage time can induce higher free fatty acid accumulation in milk by lactic acid bacteria.

Microbiological, pH and sensory evaluations of pork loins treated with lactic acid cultures (Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis ATCC 11454 grown in 10% milk solids) during storage at 4$^{\circ}C$ were assessed. Pork loins were immersed in solutions containing 3.96 log units, 4.10 log units, or 4.23 log units of individual lactic acid cultures for 2 min. Pork loins treated with lactic acid cultures had a inhibitory effect (P<0.05) on the growth of aerobic palate counts during storage of 3 days at 4$^{\circ}C$. Pork loins treated with lactic acid cultures during storage of 3 days at 4$^{\circ}C$ significantly (P<0.05) decreased pH values compared to those of controls. Sensory evaluations for odor and appearance of pork loins treated with lactic acid cultures during storage of 9 days at 4$^{\circ}C$ were a "liked less" to "typical" category compared to those of controls.

The effect of carbon sources on nisin Z biosynthesis in Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis A164 was studied in batch culture using M17 broth containing different carbon sources. Among the eleven carbon sources tested, glucose, sucrose, and lactose were suitable carbon sources for cell growth of L. lactis A164. In particular, cells grown on lactose produced at least 3-fold greater amount of nisin Z than those on other carbon sources. Galactose resulted in less amount of cell mass than did sucrose or glucose, but gave a higher level of nisin Z activity. Northern blot analysis revealed. that lactose increased the transcription of the nisZ pre-peptide gene. Although galactose was less efficient than lactose, it increased the transcription of nisZ along with a higher level of nisin Z than did sucrose and glucose. These results suggest that the increased nisin Z production is correlated with the induction of nisZ by lactose and galactose. Among all the carbon sources tested, no remarkable differences were observed in nisRK and nisFEG transcripts, indicating that the lactose- or galactose-mediated induction is unique to the nisZ promoter.

김치로부터 분리한 L. sp. KD 28은 펩타이드성 항균물질인 박테리오신을 생산하였다. 이 박테리오신은 ${\alpha}$-chymotrypsin, proteinase K, lipase, ${\alpha}$-amylase, carboxypeptidase A 효소에 대해서 매우 민감한 반응을 보였다. 낮은 pH 2.0에서 약 염기성의 pH 8.0까지는 항균활성을 온전히 유지하였으나 pH 8.0 이상에서는 항균활성이 감소하기 시작하여 pH 12.0에서는 25%로 감소하였다. L. sp. KD 28는 16S rRNA 분자계통학적 분석을 한 결과 L. lactis와 99% 상동성을 보였다. 또한 김치에서 분리한 L. sp. KD 28이 생산하는 박테리오신은 acetonitrile, isopropanol, methanol, chloroform 및 acetone 등의 유기용매 최종 농도 50%에서 항균활성은 영향을 받지 않았다. 열 안정성의 경우 $80^{\circ}C$까지 한 시간의 열처리에 안정하였으나 $100^{\circ}C$에서는 20분 이상의 열처리에 의해 항균활성이 감소하여 50분간 열처리할 경우 항균활성이 나타나지 않았다. 또한 이 박테리오신은 그람 음성보다는 양성 세균인 M. luteus IAM 1056, L. delbrueckii subsp. lactis KCTC 1058, E. faecium KCTC 3095, B. cereus KCTC 1013, B. subtilis KCTC 1023, S. aureus subsp. aureus KCTC 1916, B. megaterium KCTC 1098, B. sphaericus KCTC 1184 및 L. ivanovii subsp, ivanovii KCTC 3444 등에 대해서 항균활성을 보였다. 박테리오신을 SP-Sepharose 이온교환크로마토그래피로 부분 정제한 후 RP-HPLC 를 통해서 최종적으로 정제하여 tricine-SDS-PAGE를 통해 분자량을 확인한 결과 약 3.4 kDa로 나타났다.

The ability of 19 lactic acid bacteria to produce hydroxy fatty acids (HFAs) from unsaturated food fatty acids (USFAs) was tested. HFAs are related to human ailments, including steatorrhea. All the cultures produced HFAs from USFAs, unless their growth was inhibited by free USFAs. Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis KFRI 131 converted oleic, linoleic, and linolenic acid into 10-hydroxyoctadecanoic acid (10-HODA), 10-hydroxyoctadecaenoic acid (10-HODEA), and 10-hydroxyoctadecadienoic acid (10-HODDEA), respectively. Both a USFA and a surfactant were needed for the bacterium to convert the fatty acid into the corresponding HFA. It was apparent that the production of 10-HODA was growth-related, while that of 10-HODDEA was not. It was unclear whether the production of 10-HODEA was growth-related.

Rice bran is considered a natural source of antioxidants. In this study, rice bran was fermented with lactic acid bacteria to increase its antioxidant activity. Four strains isolated from fermented food, Lactobacillus plantarum MJM60383, Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis MJM60392, Lactobacillus fermentum MJM60393, and Lactobacillus paracasei MJM60396, were confirmed as safe through stability tests such as safety assessment for biogenic amine production, hemolytic activity, and mucin degradation, and showed high reducing capacity. The antioxidant activity of rice bran fermentation altered by these strains was evaluated using several methods including measurement of $Fe^{2+}$ chelating activity and scavenging activity by 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazil (DPPH), 2,2'-azinobis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS), and nitric oxide assays. In this study, the total phenolic content and ${\gamma}$-oryzanol were evaluated by high-performance liquid chromatography. Compared to non-fermented rice bran and a commercial product, rice bran fermented with Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis MJM60392 showed the highest phenolic content (844.13 mg GAE/g). Moreover, the content of ferulic acids, ${\rho}$-coumaric acid, and ${\gamma}$-oryzanol in rice bran increased after fermentation with L. lactis subsp. lactis MJM60392 and L. fermentum MJM60393 compared to other samples. Indeed, the DPPH radical scavenging activity and NO scavenging activity were also found to be high in these fermented rice brans. These results indicated that fermentation with lactic acid bacteria increases the active compound levels and the potent antioxidant activities of rice bran.

된장 제조과정 중 불쾌취와 점질물을 생성하는 부패균인 B. subtilis의 생육억제를 위해 nisin을 생성하는 L. lactis subsp. lactis ATCC 7962, ATCC 11454, IFO 12007을 이용하여 유산발효를 수행하여 pH변화, B. subtilis의 생육저해도등을 검토하였다. 증자콩에서 nisin 생성유산균들의 생육특성을 살펴본 결과, 세 가지의 균주 모두가 증자대두 1g 당 $10^{6}$ CFU 접종하여 24시간 이내에 $10^{9}$ CFU로 급격하게 자라므로 영양요구성이 복잡한 유산균이 증자대두에서 다른 영양소의 첨가없이도 잘 생육함을 확인하였다. 증자콩에서 7962와 11454는 생육에 따라 pH가 급격히 저하되어 된장발효용 종균으로 사용할 수 없었다. 증자한 콩 중에 잘 증식하고 유산발효 후 pH 변화가 완만한 12007을 된장발효의 종균으로 전혀 문제점 없어 사용시 부패균인 B. subtilis의 생육이 효과적으로 저해됨이 확인되었다. 생성된 nisin은 황국균이 생성하는 protease에 의해 분해되며 콩 속에 다량으로 존재하던 유산균은 사입시 첨가되는 식염으로 불화성화되거나 사멸하여 된장의 산패를 막아준다. 그리고 8% 식염을 첨가하여 된장 제조시, 즉 저염 된장 제조시 B. subtilis의 생육이 효과적으로 억제되고 다수로 존재하던 유산균은 담금 후 점차 줄어들어 시간경과 후에는 관찰되지 않았다. 8%함유 식염된장의 숙성 중 pH 변화 역시 12% 함유 식염된장과 유사한 값을 나타내었다.

In order to develop an oral vaccine to prevent H. pylori infection, we have expressed the hpaA gene of H. pylori K51 isolated from Korean patients, encoding 29-kDa HpaA that is known to be localized on the cell surface and flagella sheath, in a live delivery vector system, Lactococcus lactis. The hpaA gene, amplified by PCR using the genomic DNA of H. pylori K51, was cloned in the pGEX-2T vector, and the DNA sequence analysis revealed that the hpaA gene of H. pylori K51 had 99.7% and 94.8% identity with individual hpaA genes of the H. pylori 26695 strain (U.K) and the J99 strain (U.S.A). A polyclonal anti-HpaA antibody was raised in rats using GST-HpaA fusion protein as the antigen. The hpaA gene was inserted in an E. coli-L. lactis-shuttle vector (pMG36e) to express in L. lactis. Western blot analysis showed that the expression level of HpaA in the L. lactis transformant remained constant from the exponential phase to the stationary phase, without extracelluar secretion. These results indicate that the HpaA of H. pylori K51 was successfully expressed in L. lactis, and suggest that the recombinant L. lactis expressing HpaA may be applicable as an oral vaccine to induce a protective immune response against H. pylori.
