This study was conducted to investigate the effect of soybean meal (SM) and soluble starch (SS) on biogenic amine production and microbial diversity using in vitro ruminal fermentation. Treatments comprised of incubation of 2 g of mixture (expressed as 10 parts) containing different ratios of SM to SS as: 0:0, 10:0, 7:3, 5:5, 3:7, or 0:10. In vitro ruminal fermentation parameters were determined at 0, 12, 24, and 48 h of incubation while the biogenic amine and microbial diversity were determined at 48 h of incubation. Treatment with highest proportion of SM had higher (p<0.05) gas production than those with higher proportions of SS. Samples with higher proportion of SS resulted in lower pH than those with higher proportion of SM after 48 h of incubation. The largest change in $NH_3$-N concentration from 0 to 48 h was observed on all SM while the smallest was observed on exclusive SS. Similarly, exclusive SS had the lowest $NH_3$-N concentration among all groups after 24 h of incubation. Increasing methane ($CH_4$) concentrations were observed with time, and $CH_4$ concentrations were higher (p<0.05) with greater proportions of SM than SS. Balanced proportion of SM and SS had the highest (p<0.05) total volatile fatty acid (TVFA) while propionate was found highest in higher proportion of SS. Moreover, biogenic amine (BA) was higher (p<0.05) in samples containing greater proportions of SM. Histamines, amine index and total amines were highest in exclusive SM followed in sequence mixtures with increasing proportion of SS (and lowered proportion of SM) at 48 h of incubation. Nine dominant bands were identified by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) and their identity ranged from 87% to 100% which were mostly isolated from rumen and feces. Bands R2 (uncultured bacterium clone RB-5E1) and R4 (uncultured rumen bacterium clone L7A_C10) bands were found in samples with higher proportions of SM while R3 (uncultured Firmicutes bacterium clone NI_52), R7 (Selenomonas sp. MCB2), R8 (Selenomonas ruminantium gene) and R9 (Selenomonas ruminantium strain LongY6) were found in samples with higher proportions of SS. Different feed ratios affect rumen fermentation in terms of pH, $NH_3$-N, $CH_4$, BA, volatile fatty acid and other metabolite concentrations and microbial diversity. Balanced protein and carbohydrate ratios are needed for rumen fermentation.

During the last decade extensive studios on catecholamines have evolved new knowledge in the physiology and biochemistry of adrenergic mechanism. Cardiac muscle, receiving adrenergic fibres from the stellate, cervical and thoracic ganglia, has been repeatedly shown to have a specific capacity to uptake and to store catecholamines. The catecholamine stores in cardiac muscle have also been shown to be important sites for the action of numerous drugs. Under normal condition, a certain level of catecholamines is maintained in the stores and serves as the basis for studying the changes in the catecholamine content of the heart. Because myocardial catecholamines play such important role in the patho-physiology of the heart, it would be interesting to compare the normal level of myocardial catecholamines among various species of animals. An occasional study has dealt with myocardial catecholamines of several species add ages of animals but these have been insufficiently comprehensive to afford a basis for an understanding of the importance of these amines as related to species and ages. The present investigation was undertaken to determine whether or not there is any significance of myocardial catecholamines in the course of the evolution and development of animals. Seasonal changes, sex difference and regional and subcellular distribution of myocardial catecholamines were also examined. The concentration of cardiac catecholamines was determined by the spectrophotofluorometric procedure described by Shore and Olin. The results obtained were summarized as follows: 1. As animals phylogenetically progressed larger amounts of catecholamines were resent in their hearts. A negligibly small amount of catecholamine was present in the hearts of the clam, a non-vertebrate. Among the vertebrates, cold-blooded animals (snake, turtle, frog, eel and fish) had less myocardial catecholamines than warm-blooded animals, of which aves (fowl and duck) had less than mammalia (cat, dog, rabbit, rat, cow and pig). The ratio of norepinephrine to epinephrine also was greater as the animals progress phylogenetically. 2. Examination of the regional distribution of cardiac catecholamines in warm-blooded animals showed that the content of the auricle was generally higher than that of the septum and considerably than that of the ventricle, but the differences of contents among these regions were not so marked. 3. In the embryonic chick, cardiac catecholamines were firstly detected on the 4th day of incubation, the time before the cardiac innervation of sympathetic nerves. The concentrations of these catecholamines increased but not markedly on the 6th day of incubation, soon after the innervation of sympathetic nerves to the heart. The level of the cardiac catecholamines fluctuated throughout the remainder of embryonic development. 4. In newborn rat hearts, a considerable amount of catecholamines was present. With the development of the rats, the concentrations of myocardial catecholamines increased. The ratio of epinephrine and norepinephrine fluctuated within the range of 40 to 60 pervent. However, as development progressed, the percentage of norepinephrine continued to rise, attaining the adult value of $80{\sim}90%$ after $45{\sim}60$ days. In contrast, the total amount of epinephrine remained fairly constant throughout the animal's development. 5. No significant sexual differences were observed in the concentration of myocardial catecholamines in the developing rat. 6. The catecholamines in the rabbit hearts increased during the summer season (from May to August) and maintained a fairly constant level in the other seasons of the year. 7. The subcellular distribution of cardiac catecholamines was examined by differential centrifugation of homogenates of cardiac muscles in rabbits, cats and rats. The catecholamines were found to be present approximately 20% in particles of mitochondrial fraction, 45% in particles of microsomal fraction and 35% in soluble supernatant fraction. The particle containing catecholamines in cardiac muscle appears to be two different sizes.

돈분뇨 슬러리와 음식물쓰레기 자원화 과정에서 발생하는 액상물의 혼합 액비화를 통한 액비의 비료적 특성 및 액비의 악취 저감 특성을 검토하였다. 발효가 진행됨에 따라 음식물쓰레기 액상물 혼합비율이 높은 처리구에서 pH가 높아졌고 돈분뇨 슬러리 혼합비율이 높은 처리구에서는 낮아졌고, EC는 180일째에 모든 처리구에서 $21{\sim}23dS\;m^{-1}$로 안정되었다. 180일간 발효시키고 난 후에 질소성분은 최초 성분량의 20%까지 저하되었는데, 음식물쓰레기 액상물 50% 이상 혼합한 구에서는 비료공정규격에 미달되었다. 발효가 진행되면서 유기물, 인산, 석회, 고토성분은 감소되었고 칼리, 염분의 함량은 증가하였는데, 염분의 증가는 액비 발효과정 중 수분 증발에 따른 농축효과에 기인하였다. 악취 성분으로서 $NH_3$는 발효 초기 30일째까지 많이 발생하다 점차 감소하였고 돈분뇨 슬러리 혼합비율이 높을수록 오래까지 지속적으로 발생되었고, $R-NH_2$의 경우는 $NH_3$에 비해 발효기간이 길어져도 지속적으로 발생하였다. $C_2H_5SH$는 돈분뇨슬러리와 혼합처리구에서만 발생하였는데, 발효기간 180일이 지나도 지속적으로 발생되었다. 관능검사 결과 역시 돈분뇨슬러리 혼합처리구에서는 발효기간 180 일이 지나도 악취도가 1 이하로 저하되지 않았다. 현행 비료 공정규격상 악취강도 기준이 2 이하인 점과 질소성분의 휘산으로 인한 액비 중 T-N 성분 저하 등을 고려했을 때 이의 제어연구가 수행될 필요가 있었다.

본 연구에서는 유산균에 의한 검은콩의 최적 발효조건을 확립하고 발효된 검은콩의 품질특성을 평가하였다. 가정에서 제조된 배추김치로부터 분리한 Lactobacillus plantarum SU22는 병원성 세균에 대해 강한 항균 활성을 보였고 생체 아민과 발암성 효소인 β-glucuronidase를 생성하지 않았기 때문에 검은콩 발효의 스타터로 선정되었다. 검은콩은 5 kgf/cm2, 150℃로 조절된 팽화기에서 10분 동안 팽화 처리한 것과 처리하지 않은 것으로 각각 10-30% 혼합액을 만들고 L. plantarum SU22를 1%(v/v) 접종하여 37℃로 48시간 동안 진탕 배양하면서 유산균의 생육특성을 비교하였다. 유산균의 생균수는 L. plantarum SU22로 발효된 팽화 검은콩(20%) 배양액에서 9 Log CFU/mL 이상이었다. 20% 팽화 검은콩 배양액을 alcalase로 가수분해한 후 L. plantarum SU22로 발효하는 것이 최적 조건인 것으로 밝혀졌으며 유산균의 생균수가 10.30 Log CFU/mL까지 증가하였다. 최적 조건에서 총 폴리페놀 함량(94.02 mg GAE/g)과 DPPH 라디칼 소거능(92.50%)이 비 발효 대조군(87.74 mg GAE/g, 83.14%)에 비해 현저하게 증가하였다(P<0.05). 결론적으로 검은콩을 팽화한 후 alcalase 처리와 L. plantarum SU22를 병행하여 발효할 때 바이오제닉 아민이 없는 검은콩 발효액을 효과적으로 제조할 수 있으며, 총 폴리페놀과 DPPH 라디칼 소거능을 유의적으로 증가시킬 수 있다는 것을 알 수 있었다.
