The present study was aimed to investigate proteome affected by Panax ginseng extracts in chicken muscles. The whole muscle proteins from chicken fed boiled extracts of 0% (control), 1%, 3%, and 5% Panax ginseng in water were separated by two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) gels using immobilized non-linear gradient (pH 3-10) strips. More than 300 protein spots were detected on silver staining gels. Among them, four protein spots were distinctively up-regulated by Panax ginseng treatments and further investigated by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). The obtained MS data were searched against SwissProt database using the Mascot search engine. The up-regulated proteins were finally identified as $\alpha$-tropomyosin (2 spots), triosephosphate isomerase, and one unknown protein. Based on the known functions of the identified proteins, they are highly related to muscle development and enhanced immunity in chickens. These proteins can give valuable information of biochemical roles for Panax ginseng in chicken meats.

우리는 처음으로 쌍별귀뚜라미 소화기관에서 6종류의 미생물을 분리하고 특성을 규명하였다. 이들은 16S rDNA을 기준으로 분류한 결과 4종류(Staphylococcus, Bacillus, Citrobacter, Proteus)에 속하였다. 분리된 6종류의 미생물은 공통적으로 ampicillin에 저항성을 보이지만 kanamycin 저항성은 보이지 않았다. 이들을 Gram염색하여 미생물의 형태적 특징을 확인하였다. Gram-positive한 rod-shaped GL2와 round-shaped GL4는 다른 분리 균 보다 많은 양의 세포외분비물을 만들었다, 이들을 MALDI-TOF-MS spectral analysis결과 87-kDa collagenase, 56-kDa & 200-kDa hypothetical protein이였다. 새롭게 분리된 6종류의 미생물은 귀뚜라미의 생리에 미치는 영향과 이들의 생물공학적 혹은 해충 방제에 이용될 수 있는 연구가 기대된다.

Vibrio anguillarum is a gram-negative bacterium that causes vibriosis in approximately 80 different fish species. V. anguillarum produces several exotoxins are correlated with the pathogenesis of vibriosis. This study is focused on the composition of the outer membrane vesicle. Most of gram-negative bacteria produce outer membrane vesicle (OMV) during cell growth. OMV was formed from the outer membrane surface of cell and than released to extracellular environment. OMV consists of outer membrane lipids, outer membrane protein (OMP), LPS, and soluble periplasmic components. Also, they contain toxins, adhesions, and immunomodulatory. Many gram-negative bacteria were studied out forming OMV. In Vibrio sp., formation of OMV by electron microscopy has been reported from V. cholerae and V. parahaemolyticus. In present study, we isolated OMV from V. anguillarum and OMV protein was separated by SDS-PAGE. Magor band was sliced and analyzed by MALDI-TOF. The major protein band of 38kDa was identified as OmpU by MALDI-TOF MS analysis.

Identification of antibiotic resistant bacteria isolated from animals is necessary for seeking a proper treatment and for preventing the spread of the bacteria among animals. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus pseudintermedius (MRSP) is of worldwide concern in veterinary medicine. This study was conducted to investigate the antimicrobial susceptibility of Staphylococcus pseudintermedius (S. pseudintermedius) isolated from dogs and cats. Out of the total number of 150 specimens, 35 isolates (23.3％) were identified as S. pseudintermedius when tested by MALDI-TOF MS (Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization-Time of Flight Mass Spectroscopy). Among them, 5 isolates (14.3%) were the case of MRSP. In the results of the antimicrobial susceptibility test, the isolates of S. pseudintermedius were susceptible to amikacin (100%), cephalothin (100%), vancomycin (100%), amoxicillin (85.7%), oxacillin (85.7%), enrofloxacin (82.8%), chloramphenicol (80%). On the other hand, they were resistant to penicillin (71.4%), tetracycline (48.6%), ampicillin (37.1%), kanamycin (31.5%), erythromycin (31.4%), respectively.

Characterization of the various chemical aspects of composite polymers is important for quality control of manufactured polymers. In this study, we compared three suitable matrices (α cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid [CHCA], 2,5 dihydroxy benzoic acid [2,5-DHB], and dithranol), to characterize various synthetic polymers by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Although the spectra obtained with the CHCA and 2,5-DHB matrices were generally good, in certain samples ghost peaks disappeared only when dithranol was used as the matrix. Furthermore, we examined the use of sodium trifluoroacetate (NaTFA) as an additive to reduce interference by metals and copolymers in the spectra. In conclusion, appropriate selection of a matrix, according to the characteristics of the polymer, and the use of additives to improve sensitivity are important considerations for polymer analysis and development.

With addition of uracil during fermentation, the production rate of $1,3-{\beta}-glucan(curdlan)$ was enhanced. Since uracil was used as precursor of UDP-Glucose, the UDP-glucose level was increased and further glucan synthesis rate was increased.
