사람 분변으로부터 대식세포 활성 증강효능이 있는 유산균을 선별하여 이를 동정한 결과 P. pentosaceus 동정되었으며, 이 균주를 P. pentosaceus EROM101로 명명하였다. P. pentosaceus EROM101의 면역증강 및 항암활성을 알아보기 위하여 실험동물에게 3주간 생균 및 파쇄액을 경구 투여한 뒤 대식세포와 비장세포의 활성화를 측정하였으며, 동시에 소장점막상피세포에서 생산되는 IgA의 함량을 측정하였다. P. pentosaceus EROM101의 경구 투여는 대식세포 및 비장세포의 분열을 촉진하여 면역증강 기능이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 특히, 생균보다 파쇄액에서 활성이 더 뛰어난 것으로 나타나, P. pentosaceus EROM101은 장내에서 생균으로 서식하여 지속적으로 면역증강 기능을 나타내는 것이 아닌 세포 구성물에서 면역증강활성이 있는 것으로 사료되었다. 또한, 소장점막상피세포에서 IgA의 분비량에서도 대조군보다 약 4배이상의 IgA 생산량을 증가시켜 장관면역 활성화 기능이 있는 것으로 판단되었다. 또한 P. pentosaceus EROM101 파쇄액이 Sarcoma 180 복수암세포를 이식해 준 실험동물 내에서 복수암성장을 억제하였으나, Sarcoma 180 세포열에 대한 세포독성을 나타내지 않아 면역증강에 의해서 항암 활성이 나타난 것으로 추측되었다. 이상의 연구결과에서 P. pentosaceus EROM101은 면역증강 능력이 있으며, 동시에 항암 활성을 기대할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

The purpose of this study is to examine the physiological characteristics and anti-diabetic effects of Pediococcus pentosaceus KI62. The α-amylase and α-glucosidase inhibitory activity of P. pentosaceus KI62 was 94.86±3.30% and 98.59±0.52%, respectively. In MRS broth containing 3% maltodextrin inoculated by P. pentosaceus KI62, the amounts of short chain fatty acids (SCFA) were propionic acid 18.05±1.85 mg/kg, acetic acid 1.12±0.07 g/100 mL, and butyric acid 2.19±0.061 g/kg, and those of medium chain fatty acids (MCFA) were C8 0.262±0.031 mg/kg, C10 0.279±0.021 mg/kg, and C12 0.203±0.009 mg/kg. Compared to sixteen antibiotics, P. pentosaceus KI62 had the highest sensitivity to penicillin-G and rifampicin, as well as the highest resistance to vancomycin and ampicillin. The strain also showed higher leucine arylamidase and valine arylamidase activities than other enzyme activities, but it did not produce β-glucuronidase which is carcinogenic enzymes. The survival rate of P. pentosaceus KI62 in 0.3% bile was 91.67%. Moreover, the strain showed a 98.63% survival rate in pH 2.0. P. pentosaceus KI62 exhibits resistance to Escherichia coli, Salmonella Typhimurium, Listeria monocytogenes, and Staphylococcus aureus at rates of 29.41%, 38.10%, 51.72%, and 50.47%, respectively. P. pentosaceus (23.31%) showed a similar adhesion ability to L. rhamnosus GG, the positive control (24.49%). These results show that P. pentosaceus KI62 has possibility as a probiotic with anti-diabetic effects.

In this study, we investigated the mechanism of inhibition of pathogenic bacteria by Pediococcus pentosaceus strain SH-10 isolated from hard Clam Meretrix meretrix sikhae. When P. pentosaceus SH-10 was co-cultured in MRS broth with pathogenic bacteria, including Bacillus cereus, Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella choleraesuis and Staphyloccus aureus, no viable pathogenic cells were detected after 18 h of incubation. However, pediocin or a pediocin-like bacteriocin was not detected in cultures of P. pentosaceus SH-10 by the agar diffusion method. Organic acids were produced in MRS broth in proportion to the incubation time of P. pentosaceus SH-10. These results indicate that P. pentosaceus SH-10 inhibited the growth of pathogenic bacteria by lowering the pH of the growth medium through the production of organic acids, including sodium lactate, sodium acetate, and sodium citrate.

This study examined the suitability of characteristics of potential strains of probiotic bacteria. Among 25 lactic acid bacteria isolated from Korean traditional fermented food, the Hard Clam Meretrix meretrix Shikhae, the SH-10 strain, which exhibited superior resistance to low pH and bile salts, was selected as a potential probiotic bacteria. By examining carbohydrate utilization, morphological properties, and the 16S rRNA gene sequence, the SH-10 strain was identified as Pediococcus pentosaceus (hereafter, P. pentosaceus SH-10). P. pentosaceus SH-10 was resistant to amikacin, cefotetan, ciprofloxacin, gentamicin, kanamycin, nalidixic acid, streptomycin, and vancomycin. Tests of antimicrobial activities against pathogens such as Bacillus cereus, Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella choleraesuis, and Staphylococcus aureus, indicated that P. pentosaceus SH-10 inhibited the growth of pathogenic bacteria. These results suggest that P. pentosaceus SH-10 can be developed as a probiotic bacteria.

Two lactic strains, Leuconostoc mesenteroides Lu5 and Pediococcus pentosaceus P1 isolated from Kimchi, were used to determine the optimum conditions for protoplast formation and regeneration. The maximum protoplast formation rate was obtained with both strains at early exponential growth phase and decreased rapidly during growth phase. For P. pentosaceus P1, 30 $\mu$g/ml of lysozyme treatment was sufficient to obtain over 90% of protoplast formation and 300 $\mu$g/ml for L. mesenteroides Lu5, showing great difference in sensitivity of these strains to lysozyme. For both strains, best results were obtained at pH 7, using 0.5 M sucrose as osmotic stabilizer. For regeneration of protoplast, the highest regeneration rate was obtained after 15 minutes of lysozyme treatment and declined drastically with prolonged digestion.

Pediococcus pentosaceus ID-7 was isolated from kimchi, a Korean fermented food, and it showed high activity for lactose hydrolysis. The ${\beta}$-galactosidase of P. pentosaceus ID-7 belongs to the GH2 group, which is composed of two distinct proteins. The heterodimeric LacLM type of ${\beta}$-galactosidase found in P. pentosaceus ID-7 consists of two genes partially overlapped, lacL and lacM encoding LacL (72.2 kDa) and LacM (35.4 kDa). In this study, Escherichia coli MM294 was used for the production of LacL, LacM, and LacLM. These three types of recombinant proteins were expressed, purified, and characterized. The specific activities of LacLM and LacL were 339 and 31 U/mg, respectively. However, activity was not detected with LacM alone. The optimal pH of LacLM and LacL was pH 7.5 and pH 7.0, and the optimal temperature of LacLM and LacL was $40^{\circ}C$ and $50^{\circ}C$, respectively. The optimal temperature changes indicate that LacLM is able to achieve higher activity at a relatively lower temperature. LacLM was strongly activated by $Mg^{2+}$, $Mn^{2+}$, and $Zn^{2+}$, which was not true for LacL. Consistent with this, EDTA strongly inactivated LacLM and LacL, but the presence of reducing agents did not dramatically alter the activity. Taken together, multiple alignment of amino acid sequences and phylogenetic analysis results of LacL and LacM of P. pentosaceus ID-7 suggest the evolution of LacL into LacLM and that the use of divalent metal ions results in higher activity.

A lactic acid bacterial strain resistant to several antibiotics such as oxytetracycline, tylosin, neomycin and sulfathiazole, which have been often used as a therapeutic agent in livestock, was isolated from the porcine gastrointestinal tract. The isolate YB-55 was identified as belonging to the genus Pediococcus with the highest similarity to P. pentosaceus on the basis of its 16S rRNA sequence and biochemical properties. The isolated strain showed viability of over 85% at pH 3.0 and was resistant to bile salt. The strain produced lactic acid of 12.3 g/L by jar fermentation and maintained its viability in the presence of antibiotics at dosage related therapeutic effect, suggesting P. pentosaceus YB-55 may of ffr potential as a probiotics for livestock.

Three lactic acid bacteria (C-1 K-3 and T-1 strain) were isolated from Nuruk and characterized subsequently. They were useful strains for production of lactic acid and their growth was inhibited at 10% ethanol pH 4 These strains were identified as lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis NR C-1 Leuconostoc mesenteroides subsp. mesenterides NR K-3 and pediococcus pentosaceus NR T-1 respectively by morphological physiological and biochemical characterization Lac lactis subsp lactis NR C-1 showed the highest lactic acid productivity. Leu measenteroides subsp mesenteroides NR K-3 showed stable lactic acid productivity and its growth was inhibited at pH 4. P pentosaceus NR T-1 had lower lactic acid productivity than the other two bacteria but it could not grow at 10% ethanol pH 4 The lactic acid productivity of these three strains in MRS broth were higher than that in Skim milk media the optimum pH and temperature for the lactic acid production of the three strains were 30-32$^{\circ}C$ and pH 6.0∼6.8 Glucose was the optimal carbon souorce for the lactic acid production. In terms of antagonism lac lactis subsp lactis NR c-1 showed somewhat inhibitory efects against some Gram positive rod and cocci such as Lactobacillus brevis and Streptococcus mitis. And Leu mesenteroides subsp mesenteroides NR K-3 showed the inhibitory effects against Streptococcus mitis but P. pentosaceus NR T-1 didn't show any inhibitory effects against tested strains.
