Background: Ginsenosides, which are bioactive components in ginseng, can be converted to smaller compounds for improvement of their pharmacological activities. The conversion methods include heating; acid, alkali, and enzymatic treatment; and microbial conversion. The aim of this study was to determine the bioconversion of ginsenosides in fermented red ginseng extract (FRGE). Methods: Red ginseng extract (RGE) was fermented using Lactobacillus plantarum KCCM 11613P. This study investigated the ginsenosides and their antioxidant capacity in FRGE using diverse methods. Results: Properties of RGE were changed upon fermentation. Fermentation reduced the pH value, but increased the titratable acidity and viable cell counts of lactic acid bacteria. L. plantarum KCCM 11613P converted ginsenosides $Rb_2$ and $Rb_3$ to ginsenoside Rd in RGE. Fermentation also enhanced the antioxidant effects of RGE. FRGE reduced 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging activity and reducing power; however, it improved the inhibition of ${\beta}$-carotene and linoleic acid oxidation and the lipid peroxidation. This suggested that the fermentation of RGE is effective for producing ginsenoside Rd as precursor of ginsenoside compound K and inhibition of lipid oxidation. Conclusion: This study showed that RGE fermented by L. plantarum KCCM 11613P may contribute to the development of functional food materials.

Recently the production of ethanol from lignocecllulosics has received much attention due to immense potential for conversion of renewable biometerials into biofuels and chemicals. Fomitopsis palustris causes a typycal brown-rot and is unusual in that it rapidly depolymerize the cellulose in wood without removing the surrounding lignin that normally prevents microbial attack. This study demonstrated that the brown rot basidiomycete F. palustris was able to degrade crystalline cellulose. This fungus could also produce the three major cellulases (BGL, EXG and EG) when the cells were grown on 2.0% Avicel. The fungus was able to degrade both the crystalline and amorphous forms of cellulose from woody biomasses. Moreover, we found that this fungus has the processive EG like CBH which are able to degrade the crystalline region of cellulose. To establish the cellulase system in relation with degradation of woody biomass, we performed that purification, characterization and molecular cloning of a BGL, EGs and GLA from F. palustris grown on Avicel.

In the experiment of cholesterols and steroidal compounds. gas chromatography has been widely used to determine the compounds. Without the facility, we could determine the amount of 17-ketosteroids in the use of t. 1. c technique. In the muicrobial conversion of cholesterol to 17-ketsoteroids, $\alpha,$ $\alpha'-dipyridyl$ which might be a inhibitor of $9\alpha-hydroxylase$ of steroid skeleton was added to microbial culture broth. The inhibitor contaminated due to its solubility in organic solvents and hindered the determination of 17-ketost eroids on t.1. c in all the process of the experiment. we successfully determined the 17-ketosteroids by the use of Ag$^{+}$ band on t. 1. c. plate.e.

The in vitro anti-fungal activity of hydroxylated fatty acids obtained from microbial conversion by Psuedomonas aeruginosa PR3 using ricinoleic acid(RA), eicosadienoic acid(EDA) and conjugated linoleic acid(CLA) as substrates, was investigated. Bioconverted hydroxylated fatty acids showed different anti-fungal activities potentials against the range of phytopathogenic fungi such as Botrytis cinerea, Rhizoctonia solani, Fusarium oxysporum, Sclerotonia sclerotiorum, Colletotricum capsici, Fusarium solani and Phytophthora capsici. RA and EDA showed up to 50% fungal mycelial inhibition at the concentration of $5{\mu}l\;ml^{-1}$. RA, EDA and CLA also exhibited anti-fungal activities with minimum inhibitory concentration(MIC), ranging from 500 to $1000{\mu}g\;ml^{-1}$. Screening was also carried out using varied concentrations of bioconverted RA and EDA for determining the anti-fungal effect on the spore germination of different fungi. Bioconverted RA and EDA showed a considerable degree of spore germination inhibition.

Macroalgae has been strongly touted as an alternative biomass for biofuel production due to its higher photosynthetic efficiency, carbon fixation rate, and growth rate compared to conventional cellulosic plants. However, its unique carbohydrate composition and structure limits the utilization efficiency by conventional microorganisms, resulting in reduced growth rates and lower productivity. Nevertheless, recent studies have shown that it is possible to enable microorganisms to utilize various sugars from seaweeds and to produce some energy chemicals such as methane, ethanol, etc. This paper introduces the basic information on macroalgae and the overall conversion process from harvest to production of biofuels. Especially, we will review the successful efforts on microbial engineering through metabolic engineering and synthetic biology to utilize carbon sources from red and brown seaweed.

Saururus chinensis has been reported to contain compounds such as lignans, alkaloids, diterpenes, flavonoids, tannins, steroids, and lipids. Fermentation is commonly used to break down certain undesirable compounds, to induce effective microbial conversion, and to improve the potential nutraceutical values. Previous studies have reported that the fermentation process could modify naturally occurring constituents, including isoflavons, saponins, phytosterols, and phenols, and could enhance biological activities, specifically antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. The probiotic strains used for fermentation exert beneficial effects and are safe. In this study, the antioxidative effects of the Bacillus subtilis fermentation of Saururus chinensis were investigated in a rat model with Triton WR-1339-induced hyperlipidemia by comparing the measured antioxidative biological parameters of fermented Saururus chinensis extract to those of nonfermented Saururus chinensis extract. Fermentation played a more excellent role than nonfermentation in ultimately protecting the body from oxidative stress in the liver of the experimental rats with Triton WR-1339-induced hyperlipidemia.

Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) have emerged as a highly promising energy harvesting technology capable of harnessing mechanical energy from various environmental vibrations. Their versatility in material selection and efficient conversion of mechanical energy into electric energy make them particularly attractive. TENGs can serve as a valuable technology for self-powered sensor operation in preparation for the IoT era. Additionally, they demonstrate potential for diverse applications, including energy sources for implanted medical devices (IMDs), neural therapy, and wound healing. In this review, we summarize the potential use of this universally applicable triboelectric energy harvesting technology in the disinfection and blocking of pathogens. By integrating triboelectric energy harvesting technology into human clothing, masks, and other accessories, we propose the possibility of blocking pathogens, along with technologies for removing airborne or waterborne infectious agents. Through this, we suggest that triboelectric energy harvesting technology could be an efficient alternative to existing pathogen removal technologies in the future.

본 연구는 초고압 처리가 발효 중인 막걸리의 이화학적 및 미생물적 특성에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위하여 실시하였다. 초고압은 막걸리 숙성 0일째부터 2일 간격으로 총 6일까지의 시료에 대하여 400 MPa 압력으로 5분간 실시하였다. 그 결과, 초고압 처리로 젖산균은 5~6 log 수준으로 감소하였으며 이후 일정기간이 경과한 후에 다시 약 3~6 log cfu/mL 수준으로 출현하였다. 효모도 마찬가지로 5~6 log 수준으로 검출한계 이내로 감소하였지만 숙성완료 시점까지 다시 출현하지는 않았다. 초고압을 처리한 막걸리는 알코올 생성이 정지되는 것으로 나타났으며 특히 0일차와 2일차에 처리한 시료는 알코올이 거의 생성되지 않았다. 초고압 처리는 젖산균을 사멸시켜 pH와 적정산도에 영향을 미쳤다. 특히 2일차 초고압 처리 막걸리는 젖산균이 사멸되어 pH가 저하되지 않았으며 또한 적정산도도 낮게 나타났다. 환원당 함량의 경우 0일차 처리구는 효모에 의한 알코올 전환이 일어나지 않아 계속적으로 환원당이 증가하여 6일째 8.99%에 달하였으며 2일차 처리구는 효모가 살균되어 환원당이 알코올로 효율적으로 전환되지 못하여 5.01%를 나타내었다. 초고압을 처리하지 않은 처리구는 1.53%를 나타내었다. 결론적으로 발효과정 중 막걸리에 대한 초고압 처리는 발효 미생물의 변화를 유발하여 이화학적 특성 및 미생물적 특성에 영향을 미침을 알 수 있었으며 최종적으로 막걸리 품질에도 영향을 미칠 수 있을 것이라고 생각되었다.
