Pedi coccus acidilactici CACC 537 was isolated from canine feces and reported to have probiotic properties. We aimed to characterize the potential probiotic properties of this strain by functional genomic analysis. Complete genome sequencing of P. acidilactici CACC 537 was performed using a PacBio RSII and Illumina platform, and contained one circular chromosome (2.0 Mb) with a 42% G + C content. The sequences were annotation revealed 1,897 protein-coding sequences, 15 rRNAs, and 56 tRNAs. It was determined that P. acidilactici CACC 537 genome carries genes known to be involved in the immune system, defense mechanisms, restriction-modification (R-M), and the CRISPR system. CACC 537 was shown to be beneficial in preventing pathogen infection during the fermentation process, help host immunity, and maintain intestinal health. These results provide for a comprehensive understanding of P. acidilactici and the development of industrial probiotic feed additives that can help improve host immunity and intestinal health.

Jariieot is a local food prepared by fermentation of salted fish, Chromis notatus. Since its NaC' content is around 20% like other fermented seafoods, reduction NaCl concentration is desirable to minimize the risk of health hazard. Addition of KCl and enrichment of lactic acid fermentation were attempted to solve the problems resulting from low salt concentration. NaCl and KCl were added to a fish, Chromis notatus simultaneously at concentrations of 10 to 4% and 5 to 2%, respectively. Lactic acid bacteria and glucose at final concentration of 2% were also mixed with the above-salt treated fish to prepare jarijeot. The jarijeot was examined periodically for chemical changes during aging and compared with reference jarijeot containing only 20% of NaCl to find out an appropriate method for quality improvement. The content of ATP and its related compounds was not affected by the concentration of NaCl or the presence of lactic acid bacteria. Nearly no difference in contents of free amino nitrogen, trimethylamine oxide, trimethylamine and volatile basic nitrogen was observed between the jarijeot containing 20% of NaCl only and that containing 10% of NaCl, 5% of KCl, 2% of glucose and cells of Pediococcus halophilus. Moreover, sensory evaluation of both kinds of jarijeots revealed almost the same scores. The number of cells of P. halophilus was maintained at concentration of $10^5$cell/ml for 60days' fermentation in the above mentioned jarijeot containing 10% of NaCl. Its pH was dropped down to 4.2. Accordingly it is possible to prepare jarijeot enriched with lactic acid bacteria if KCl and glucose are added at concentration of 5% and 2%, respectively, in addition to NaCl at a final concentration of 10%.

The aim of this study was to screen lactic acid bacteria for the fermentation of garlic and to assess the increase in inhibitory activity of garlic fermented against antibiotic-resistant pathogens for use as an animal feed supplement. We screened 45 strains of lactobacillus for the fermentation of garlic. Of these strains, 23 showed similar growth rates with or without allicin. Cultures of the 23 strains were mixed with an equivalent amount of garlic juice and incubated overnight at $37^{\circ}C$. The three strains with the lowest pH values were Lactobacillus paracasei KCTC 3169, L5 strain, and L. reuteri SW. Garlic juice fermented by the L5 strain more strongly inhibited antibiotic-resistant pathogenic bacteria than L. paracasei KCTC 3169, L. reuteri SW, or garlic juice itself. By examining carbohydrate utilization, morphologic properties and 16S rRNA gene sequences, we identified the L5 strain as Pediococcus pentosaceus and deposited it in the name of P. pentosaceus KACC 91419 into the Korea Agricultural Culture Collection. To identify the antimicrobial compound from the garlic filtrate fermented by P. pentosaceus KACC 91419, we fractionated P. pentosaceus KACC 91419 culture on a C18 column and checked the antimicrobial activity of fractions A6 to A10. Only fraction A9 showed inhibitory activity on Staphylococcus aureus. Comparing the mass spectra of the fractions with and without antimicrobial activity, we observed a single dominant product ion (m/z 157.99) from the fraction showing antimicrobial activity. Its molecular mass (157.99) was 2 atomic mass units less than that of allicin (162.02). This suggests that allicin might be converted to its derivative, which has antimicrobial activity, during fermentation by P. pentosaceus KACC 91419.

Objective: Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects on growth performance, digestibility, and blood metabolites of lambs during pre- and post-weaning period of inclusion of a commercial probiotic (PRO) containing a mixture of two strains of Pediococcus, Pediococcus acidilactici ($1{\times}10^6$ colony-forming unit [cfu]/g) and Pediococcus pentosaceus ($1.3{\times}10^6cfu/g$), with dextrose as the carrier compound compared to a diet based on concentrate mixture and wheat straw. Methods: In exp. 1, 24 male lambs of about $15{\pm}2.6$ d age and initial body weight (BW) of $5.52{\pm}0.6kg$ were randomly allocated into three groups. One group received control diet without additives, and remainders received control diet supplemented with 0.5 or 1 g PRO/lamb/d. Daily feed intake and biweekly BW were recorded. In exp. 2, five lambs, (initial $BW=29.72{\pm}1.15kg$, $age=6.54{\pm}0.32mo$) were used as experimental animals in a digestion trial. They were fed the same diets as in Exp. 1. Results: The supplementation of PRO did not result in any significant differences in milk intake, average daily gain (ADG), or total gain between treatments during the pre-weaning period. Total dry matter intake tended to be greater (p = 0.07) with addition of PRO in the post-weaning diets. During post-weaning phase, the final BW, ADG, total gain, and feed conversion ratio of the lambs receiving PRO treatments tended to be greater ($p{\leq}0.10$) than the control group. Addition of PRO in post-weaning diet decreased ($p{\leq}0.01$) blood urea and cholesterol concentrations. With the exception of ether extract digestibility, all nutrients digestibility were improved with inclusion PRO in the post-weaning diets. Conclusion: Lambs that received PRO in post-weaning diet appeared to show a better performance than lambs in pre-weaning period. Addition of the probiotic in the post-weaning diet trended towards improved dry matter intake, growth performance, feed conversion ratio, and nutrients digestibility.

여러 원천에서 분리한 유산균을 대상으로 신규 bacteriocin 생산 유산균을 선발하고 API 당 발효성과 16S rDNA를 분석한 결과 P. damnosus 로 동정되어 JNU 534로 명명하였다. P. damnosus JNU 534에 의해 생산된 bacteriocin은 다수의 유산균과 L. monocytogenes의 생육을 억제하였지만, Gram음성균을 포함한 다른 병원성균들은 저항성을 나타냈다. Bacteriocin의 생산은 대수기 초반에 시작되어 정지기 초기에 최대 활성에 이르렀다. Bacteriocin은 pH 2-9의 넓은 범위와 $100^{\circ}C$에서 15분간의 열처리에 대해서도 안정성을 유지하였다. 또한 각종 단백질 분해효소에 의해 활성을 상실함으로써 본 연구에서 정제한 항균 물질이 단백질성 물질임을 확인할 수 있었으며 30% ammonium sulfate 침전과 $C_{18}$ chromatography를 통하여 bacteriocin을 정제 할 수 있었다. Tricine-SDS-PAGE에 의해 bacteriocin의 분자량을 약 3.4 kDa으로 추정하였으며, 지시균의 생육 저지환의 위치가 bacteriocin band와 일치하였다. 정제된 bacteriocin으로부터 분석한 N-terminal 아미노산 부분 서열은 $NH_2$-ILLEELNV로 나타났다.

염 농도$(0{\sim}3%)$와 발효 온도$(4,\;15,\;25^{\circ}C)$를 달리 하였을 때 물김치의 미생물 균총의 특성에 대한 결과는 다음과 같다. 무 물김치의 경우 총 균수는 숙성온도가 높을수록, 염 농도가 낮을수록 높게 나타났으나, 배추 물 김치의 경우 염 농도별 뚜렷한 차이를 보이지는 않았다. Lactobacillus, Lenconostoc 속 균수는 염 농도 1.0% 숙성 김치에서 가장 높게 나타났고, 배추 물김치는 $4^{\circ}C$에서 염 농도 3.0% 시료가 가장 낮은 값을 보였으며, 그 외 시료들은 온도별, 염 농도별 큰 차이가 없었다. Streptococcus 속과 Pediococcus 속은 Leuconostoc, Lactobacillus속 보다 낮은 분포를 보였고, 염 농도 1.0% 숙성 김치에서 가장 높게 나타났으며 이는 배추 물김치에서도 같은 경향을 보여주었다. 대장균수와 Gram (-)균수는 염 농도 3.0% 김치가 균수도 적었고 초기에 증가하였다가 젖산균이 증식하여 산도가 증가하면 그 수가 감소되었다. 효모는 발효 초기에는 발견되지 않다가 발효 후기에 증가하였으며 온도와 염 농도가 높을수록 균수가 증가하였다. 배추 물김치에서도 $15,\;25^{\circ}C$에서 염 농도가 높은 시료에서 비교적 높게 계수되어 무 물김치와 유사한 경향을 보였으나 배추 물김치의 경우 초기부터 효모가 계수되어 주재료간 차이를 보였다. 각각의 선택배지에서 순수분리, 동정된 균은 무 물김치의 경우 젖산균류는 염 농도 0.2% 김치에서는 Lactobacillus plantarum, L. pentosus, Leuconostoc citrum, 염 농도 1.0% 김치에서는 L. plantarum, L. pentosus, Leu.mes.ssp.mesenteroides/dextranicum, Streptococcus facium이 동정되었고, 염 농도 3.0% 김치에서는 L. plantarum, L. brevis, Leu. mes.ssp.mesenteroides/dextranicum, Str. facium이 각각 분리 동정되었으며 Pediococcus는 미확인되었다. Gram (-)균과 효모는 공통적으로 Gram (-)균으로는 Aeromonas hydrophila, 효모로는 Candida pelliculosa가 각각 분리 동정되었다. 배추 물김치의 경우 Lactobacillus plantarum, Leuconostoc citrum, Leu. mes.ssp.mesenteroides/dextranicum, Streptococcus facium이 동정되었으며, Pediococcus는 역시 미확인되었다. Gram (-)균은 Pseudomonas fluorescens, Pseu. aureofaciens가 각각 분리 동정되어 주재료간 차이를 보여주었다.

Colibacillosis is one of the major health problems in young piglets resulting in poor health and death caused by Escherichia coli producing F18 pili and Shiga toxin 2e. It is pivotal to reduce colibacillosis in weaned piglets to enhance production performance. In this study, we evaluated synbiotics as the gut health improvement agents in the mouse model challenged with Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) isolated from piglets. Prebiotic lactulose was formulated with each $5.0{\times}10^6CFU/mL$ of Pediococcus acidilactici GB-U15, Lactobacillus plantarum GB-U17, and Lactobacillus plantarum GB 1-3 to produce 3 combinations of synbiotics. A total of 40 three weeks old BALB/c mice were randomly assigned to 4 groups (n = 10): a control group and 3 synbiotics treated groups. Each treatment groups were daily administrated with $5.0{\times}10^6CFU/mL$ of one synbiotics for the first week, and every 3 days during the second week. All the mice were challenged with $8.0{\times}10^8CFU/mL$ of STEC 5 days after animals began to receive synbiotics. Mice treated with synbiotics based on Pediococcus acidilactici GB-U15 and Lactobacillus plantarum GB-U17 significantly improved daily weight gain compared to mice in other groups. While mice treated with GB-U15 showed better fecal index, no significant differences were observed among groups. Gross lesion and histopathological evaluations showed that mice treated with GB-U15 moderately improved recovery from STEC infection. In conclusion, our results suggest that the synbiotics formulated with lactulose and Pediococcus acidilactici GB-U15 have potential benefits to prevent and improve colibacillosis in weaned piglets.
