Objectives: To confirm microbiological change and cytoprotective effect of Samjung-hwan (SJH) which fermented by Lactic acid bacteria from natural fermented SJH. Methods: SJH was fermented by Lactobacillus brevis and Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis from natural fermented SJH. After 1 week of fermentation, we analysed pH and microbial profiling. We also performed measuring total polyphenol total flavonoid contents and 1,1-Diphenyl-2-picryhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging activity to investigate antioxidant ability. Cell viability was performed by using HepG2 cell. Results: pH of lactic acid bacteria inoculated group and non-inoculated group was decreased and total counts of lactic acid bateria for both group was increased after fermentation of SJH. Total polyphenol and flavonoid contents and DPPH free radical scavenging activity was increased in both group. Total polyphenol contents of lactic acid bacteria Inoculated group is more increased than non-inoculated group. HepG2 cell viability was increased in both group. Conclusions: SJH fermentd by Lactobacillus brevis and Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis shows change in microbiological character and has cytoprotective effect. Further studies are required for investigating function of lactic acid bacteria during fermentation of SJH.

The quantitative accuracy of dry rehydratable film method was compared with the standard culture method to analyze the applicability of dry rehydratable film in the total aerobic bacteria test for water. The materials used in this study were 500 cases of water and were tested according to the Korean official test method for drinking water. The mean value of the total aerobic bacteria in plate count agar(PCA) and MC-Media Pad AC(MAC) were 2.6 ± 1.1 Log cfu/mL and 2.6 ± 1.2 Log cfu/mL. The p value and correlation coefficient(R²) were 0.933 and 0.9985 between the PCA and MAC, respectively, indicating no significant difference and very high correlation. According to the water types, the p value and R² were 0.887 and 0.9911 in the PCA and MAC. In the purified water, the p value was 0.973 and R² was 0.9934 in the PCA and MAC of other water. In each type of water, there were no significant differences between the PCA and MAC, and the correlation was very high. Thus, it is suggested that the MAC would be available for total aerobic bacteria test for water.

Culture-dependent methods, such as heterotrophic plate counting (HPC), are usually applied to evaluate the bacteriological quality of hemodialysis water. However, these methods cannot detect the uncultured or viable but non-culturable (VBNC) bacteria, both of which may be quantitatively predominant throughout the hemodialysis water treatment system. Therefore, propidium monoazide (PMA)-qPCR associated with HPC was used together to profile the distribution of the total viable bacteria in such a system. Moreover, high-throughput sequencing of 16S rRNA gene amplicons was utilized to analyze the microbial community structure and diversity. The HPC results indicated that the total bacterial counts conformed to the standards, yet the bacteria amounts were abruptly enhanced after carbon filter treatment. Nevertheless, the bacterial counts detected by PMA-qPCR, with the highest levels of $2.14{\times}10^7copies/100ml$ in softener water, were much higher than the corresponding HPC results, which demonstrated the occurrence of numerous uncultured or VBNC bacteria among the entire system before reverse osmosis (RO). In addition, the microbial community structure was very different and the diversity was enhanced after the carbon filter. Although the diversity was minimized after RO treatment, pathogens such as Escherichia could still be detected in the RO effluent. In general, both the amounts of bacteria and the complexity of microbial community in the hemodialysis water treatment system revealed by molecular approaches were much higher than by traditional method. These results suggested the higher health risk potential for hemodialysis patients from the up-to-standard water. The treatment process could also be optimized, based on the results of this study.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to compare colony forming unit (CFU) method and multiplex real-time polymerase chain reaction (MRT-PCR) method for accurate quantitative analysis of bacteria. Methods: We compared the CFU method and the MRT-PCR method, which are still used in Korea, for Prevotella intermedius (P. intermedius), a periodontal disease pathogen selected by MRT-PCR, and Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans), a dental caries causative organism. The subjects of this study were 30 patients who visited the C dental hospital. Results: Total microorganisms in MRT-PCR method were significantly higher in both types of bacteria (p<0.05), since DNA of dead bacteria was also analyzed. This was because the periodontal dise(-) anaerobes, and even dead bacteria contain large amounts of toxic substances called LPS in the extracellular membrane, and fimbriae and pili, which are motility structures, still remain as a strong toxic substance in periodontal tissue. Conclusions: Therefore, in terms of the total amount of bacteria found, the MRT-PCR method will be a useful technique for searching all the bacteria in the oral cavity including live bacteria, as well as sterilization.

배추김치와 부추김치의 발효양상을 비교하기 위해 $20^{\circ}C$와 $10^{\circ}C$로 나누어 발효과정 중의 총 균수, 젖산균 수, pH 및 총 당함량을 비교 분석하였다. $20^{\circ}C$에서 발효한 배추김치의 경우 총 균수와 Leuconastoc속과 Lactobacillus속 젖산균 모두 발효 초기인 2일째에 최대에 도달하다가 그 이후에는 점점 감소하였다. 그러나 $20^{\circ}C$에서 발효한 부추김치의 경우에는 Leucanostoc속은 발효 3일째에 최대에 도달한 후 점차 감소하였지만 Lactobacillus속은 발효 15일 이후까지 그 균수가 유지되었다. $10^{\circ}C$에서 발효한 경우에는 배추김치, 부추김치 모두 $20^{\circ}C$에서 발효한 경우보다 Leuconostoc속과 Lactobacillus 속의 균수가 서서히 중가하다가 감소하였다. pH 변화는 배추김치 경우에는 3일 후에 적숙기 김치의 pH인 4.2 부근에 도달한 후 발효 5일째에 3.5 까지 낮아져 그 후에도 계속 유지되었으나 부추김치의 경우에는 발효 10일째까지 적숙기 김치의 pH인 4.2 이상으로 유지되었다. $10^{\circ}C$의 경우 배추김치는 6일 후 pH 4.2 정도였으나 부추김치는 24일 후에도 pH 4.2 이상으로 유지하였다. 발효 기간에 따른 총 환원당의 함량은 배추김치와 부추김치 모두에서 발효초기부터 발효가 진행됨에 따라 계속적으로 감소하였지만 $10^{\circ}C$에서 발효한 부추김치의 경우에는 감소정도가 매우 완만하였다. 이상의 결과로부터 부추김치가 배추김치보다 젖산균의 종식이 더디어 배추김치에 비해 발효가 서서히 진행됨을 알았다.

Objectives: Bioaerosols released by treating organic-waste resources cause a variety of environmental and hygiene problems. The objective of this study was to investigate the distribution characteristics of the airborne bacteria emitted from a pig manure composting plant, a principal site for organic-waste resource facilities. Methods: Three types of pig manure composting plant were selected based on fermentation mode: screw type, rotary type and natural-dry type. Each site was visited and investigated on a monthly basis between September 2009 and August 2010. A total of 36 air samplings were obtained from the pig manure composting plants. The air sampling equipment was a six-stage cascade impactor. Quantification and qualification of airborne bacteria in the air samples was performed by agar culture method and identification technique, respectively. Results: The mean concentrations of airborne bacteria in pig manure composting plant were 7,032 (${\pm}1,496$) CFU $m^{-3}$ for screw type, 3,309 (${\pm}1,320$) CFU $m^{-3}$ for rotary type, and 5,580 (${\pm}1,106$) CFU $m^{-3}$ for natural dry type. The screw type pig manure composting plant showed the highest concentration of airborne bacteria, followed by the natural dry type and the rotary type. The ratio of respirable to total airborne bacteria was approximately 40-60%. The predominant genera of airborne bacteria identified were Micrococcus spp., Staphylococcus spp. and Escherichia spp. Conclusion: Monthly levels of airborne bacteria were highest in August and lowest in November regardless of fermentation mode. There was no significant correlation relationship between airborne bacteria and environmental factors such as temperature, relative humidity and particulate matters in pig manure composting plants.

1988. 7.31.~8. 10 동안 남해해역의 북위 $32^{\circ}C$30'~$34^{\circ}C$30', 동경 $123^{\circ}$30'~$128^{\circ}C$30' 내에서 정점 0101-1921로부터의 퇴적토 시료를 채취하여 총 종속영양 세균, 담수 종속영양 세규, 탄화수소 분해세균의 분포를 조사하였다. 각각의 분포는 $3{\times}10^{5}~9.2{\times}10^{6}CFU/cm^{3}$ sedment, $3{\times}10^{3}~2.1{\times}10^{6}CFU/cm^{3}$ sediment, $2{\times}10^{4}~6.2{\times}10^{6}CFU/cm^{3}$ sediment 범위로 나타났다. 총 종속영양 세균에 대한 탄화수소 분해세균의 백분율은 0.1-73.2% 로 다른 해양 퇴적토에서 보고된 값보다 높았다. 한편 상관관계 분석을 통하여 총 종속영양 세균에 대한 탄화수소 분해세균 비율과 담수 종속영양 세균 비율 사이에 r=0.60058 (n= 34) 의 상관계수를 보였고 99.9% 수준 이상에서 유의성을 나타냈다. 이와 같은 결과는 해양에 분포하는 담수 종속영양 세균이 해양으로 유입되는 담수의 영향을 받는 것과 같이 탄화수소 분해세균의 분포 또한 육지로부터 유입되는 담수의 영양을 받는 것을 시사한다. 즉 남해해역 퇴적토의 탄화수소 분해세균 분포는 강을 통하여 육지로부터 해양으로 공급되는 석유 탄화수소에 의한 영향을 받는 것으로 사료된다.
