여러 종류의 호열성, 호기성 간균(Bacillus genus)군, 중금속 leaching 미생물군(Thiobacillus, T. ferooxidans), 그리고 여러 가지 난분해성 물질을 분해하는 미생물군 (Pseudomonas genus)을 활용하여 퇴비화의 조건을 연구하고 이를 이용하여 축산폐기물의 퇴비화에 미치는 효과를 연구하였다. 35∼40의 C/N비, 50∼65%의 함수율 범위에서 실험실용 회전드럼형 반응조에서의 퇴비화는 온도상승이 수동식 반응조보다 낮으며 느리게 일어났다. 퇴비화 후 성분분석에서 높은 수준의 광물질을 함유하는 것으로 화학비료 대체효과를 보여주며 퇴비화 전후 중금속 분석에서 As는 모든 퇴비에서, Cr은 돈분, ph은 축분, Hg은 계분, 그리고 Cu는 축분퇴비에서 규제값 이하를 보여주었다. 여러 가지 부숙도 분석에서 퇴비의 숙성도를 나타내었다. SS 또는 EMB agar plate을 이용한 살모넬라균과 대장균의 검사에서 병원균에 대한 퇴비의 안전성이 확인되었다. 이러한 결과는 금속 및 다른 난분해성 물질을 생분해하는 미생물을 투입하여 퇴비의 중금속감소와 퇴비화 속도증가의 가능성을 시사한다.

This study has been performed to measure the prevalence and microbial flora on chicken slaughtering as well as the processing process from the months of October to November. Whole-chicken rinsing technique was used in order to analyze the incidence of microorganisms on chicken carcass at the stage before chilling (after evisceration), after chilling and after cutting. The swab technique was used on processing the processed samples, such as working plates and cutting knives. Brine and cooling water from four cooling tubs were taken from each processing processes and were used as samples. Furthermore, the matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI MS) for whole cell fingerprinting in combination with a dedicated bioinformatic software tool was used to identify the isolated microorganisms. Of the tested samples and processes, brine ($4.50{\pm}0.64$ Log CFU/mL) and chicken carcass before chilling ($4.15{\pm}0.46$ Log CFU/mL) showed the highest population of microorganisms; the predominant microbial flora of them were Moellerella wisconsensis (54.84%), a member of the Enterobacteriaceae family, and Escherichia coli (60.36%), respectively. However, the predominant microbial flora of cut carcass was changed to Staphylococcus aureus (27.32%), which is a kind of pathogenic microorganism that can cause a food-borne illness. Therefore, the slaughtering and processing procedure of chicken are needed to be controlled more hygienically.

Volatile odor substance originating from drying and making dry peel of tangerine from the fruit skin were collected through modern equipment. The anti-microbial activity of the substance against various skin-residing bacteria including acne, dandruff, athelete's foot, and gingivitis inducing microorganisms were tested. Anti-microbial activity was observed in purified oil, where 87 to 92% was D-limonene. Against P. acnes, 103$cfu/m{\ell}$ of P. acnes were suppressed at 0.1% Unshiu oil, and the MIC was measured to be 0.3%. Against P. ovale, a dandruff inducing bacteria, 104$cfu/m{\ell}$were suppressed at 0.1% Unshiu oil, and the MIC was measured to be 0.1%. Against T. rubrum and T. Mentagrophytes, both of which are athelete's foot inducing microorganisms, 83% of T. Mentagrophytes and 99.9% of T. rubrum were suppressed at 0.1% Unshiu oil, and the MIC were 0.3% and 0.05% respectively. Against S. aureus, a skin infection inducing bacteria, 103$cfu/m{\ell}$ of the bacteria were suppressed at 0.1% Unshiu Oil. Against B. subtilis, a non-pathogenic sporulating bacteria, 104$cfu/m{\ell}$ of the bacteria were suppressed at 0.1% Unshiu Oil. Against C. albicans, found in mucous membranes, 104$cfu/m{\ell}$ of the bacteria were suppressed at 0.1% Unshiu Oil. Against Aspergillus niger, an otomycosis inducing microorganism, 99.9% were suppressed at 0.1% Unshiu Oil. The results above indicate that low concentration of purified oil extracted from tangerine had strong antimicrobial activities against bacteria and fungi residing on the skin, and that it may be developed into skin disorder treating products in the future.

이 연구는 3가지 유형의 식중독균인 E. coli O157:H7, S. aureus 그리고 V. parahaemolyticus의 in vitro를 통해 461 nm LED의 살균효과를 입증하였다. Bacterial cultures는 약 $15^{\circ}C$에서 10시간동안 LED에 노출되었다. 3종의 E. coli, ATCC 8739, ATCC 43894, ATCC 35150 과 3 종의 S. aureus, ATCC 43300, ATCC 19095, ATCC 27664의 bacteria cultures는 각각 461 nm LED에서 10시간 조사된 후 평균적으로 6, 2.5, 6, 2.5, 2, 1.5 log CFU/mL 감소하였다(p<0.05). 반면에 V. parahaemolyticus, ATCC 43969는 461 nm에서 4시간 노출된 후 6 log CFU/mL 감소하였다. 이 결과는 그람양성균과 그람음성균 모두 불활성화 되었으며 461 nm LED 노출에 의해 그람양성균보다 그람음성균이 더 민감함을 보여준다. 그러므로 이 결과는 LED의 사용이 식품보존과 응용기술로써 잠재력이 있음을 나타낸다.

Bacteriophages are considered excellent sensing elements for platforms detecting bacteria. However, their lytic cycle has restricted their efficacy. Here, we used the minor coat protein pIII domain (N1N2) of phage CTXφ to construct a novel surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensor that could detect Vibrio cholerae. N1N2 harboring the domains required for phage adsorption and entry was obtained from Escherichia coli using recombinant protein expression and purification. SDS-PAGE revealed an approximate size of 30 kDa for N1N2. Dot blot and transmission electron microscopy analyses revealed that the protein bound to the host V. cholerae but not to non-host E. coli K-12 cells. Next, we used amine-coupling to develop a novel recombinant N1N2 (rN1N2)-functionalized SPR biosensor by immobilizing rN1N2 proteins on gold substrates and using SPR to monitor the binding kinetics of the proteins with target bacteria. We observed rapid detection of V. cholerae in the range of approximately 10³ to 10⁹ CFU/ml but not of E. coli at any tested concentration, thereby confirming that the biosensor exhibited differential recognition and binding. The results indicate that the novel biosensor can rapidly monitor a target pathogenic microorganism in the environment and is very useful for monitoring food safety and facilitating early disease prevention.

Background: Skin microbiota is important for maintenance of skin homeostasis; however, its disturbance may cause an increase in pathogenic microorganisms. Therefore, we aimed to develop a red ginseng formulation that can selectively promote beneficial bacteria. Methods: The effects of red ginseng formulation on microorganism growth were analyzed by comparing the growth rates of Staphylococcus aureus, S. epidermidis, and Cutibacterium acnes. Various preservatives mixed with red ginseng formulation were evaluated to determine the ideal composition for selective growth promotion of S. epidermidis. Red ginseng formulation with selected preservative was loaded into a biocompatible polymer mixture and applied to the faces of 20 female subjects in the clinical trial to observe changes in the skin microbiome. Results: Red ginseng formulation promoted the growth of S. aureus and S. epidermidis compared to fructooligosaccharide. When 1,2-hexanediol was applied with red ginseng formulation, only S. epidermidis showed selective growth. The analysis of the release rates of ginsenoside-Rg1 and -Re revealed that the exact content of Pluronic F-127 was around 11%. The application of hydrogel resulted in a decrease in C. acnes in all subjects. In subjects with low levels of S. epidermidis, the distribution of S. epidermidis was significantly increased with the application of hydrogel formulation and total microbial species of subjects decreased by 50% during the clinical trial. Conclusion: We confirmed that red ginseng formulation with 1,2-hexanediol can help maintain skin homeostasis through improvement of skin microbiome.
