Neoagaro-oligosaccharides are produced only by enzymatic degradation of agarose by ${\beta}-agarase.^{1)}$ Neoagaro-oligosaccharides inhibit the growth of bacteria, slow the rate of degradation of starch, are used as low-calorie additives to improve food quality, and have macrophage-stimulating activity. Furthermore, neoagarobiose is a rare reagent that has both moisturizing effect on skin and whitening effect on melanoma $cells.^{2)}$ An agar-degrading marine bacterium was isolated from the sea water at the northeast coast in Cheju island, Korea. The strain was gram negative, aerobic, and motile rod. The 16S rRNA of the strain had the closest match of 98% homology, with that from Agarivorans albus. On the basis of several phenotypic characters and a phylogenetic analysis, this strain was designated Agarivorans sp. JA-1. In solid agar plate, Agarivorans sp. JA-1 produced a diffusible agarase that caused agar softening around the colonies. Agarivorans sp. JA-1 was cultured for 36 hr in marine broth 2216 (Difco, USA) and the supernatant that containing an extracellular ${\beta}-agarase$ was prepared by centrifugation of culture media. The enzyme exhibited relatively strong activity at $40^{\circ}C$ and was stable up to $60^{\circ}C$. Using PCR primers derived from the ${\beta}-agarase$ gene of Vibrio sp., the gene encoding ${\beta}-agarase$ from Agarivorans sp. JA-1 was cloned and sequenced. The structural gene consists of 2931 bp encoding 976 amino acids with a predicted molecular weight of 107,360 Da. The deduced amino acid sequence showed 99% and 34% homology to $agaA^{2)}$ and $agaB^{2)}$ genes for ${\beta}-agarase$ from Vibrio sp., respectively. The expression plasmid for ${\beta}-agarase$ gene of Agarivorans sp. JA-1 is being constructed and the recombinant enzyme will be biochemically characterized.

김치에서 분리한 Pediococci를 동정한 결과 Pediococcus pentosaceus, Pediococcus acidilactici 및 Pediococcus halophilus의 세종으로 밝혀졌다. 이 Pediococci의 미생물 생육저해 작용을 조사한 결과 P. pentosaceus는 모두 Streptococcus faecalis와 Pseudomonas sp., P20에 대하여 생육저해작용을 나타내었다. P. acidilatici는 S. faecalis와 Vibrio parahaemolyticus의 생육을 저해하였으나 P. halophilus는 4종의 test organism에 대하여 저해작용이 없었다. 이들 Pedicocci는 균주에 따라 한개로 부터 일곱개의 plasmid DNA를 가지고 있으며 그 분자량은 약 1 Mdal에서부터 약 60 Mdal 사이의 여러 크기의 plasmid DNA가 존재함이 밝혀졌다.

The carrageenan-degrading marine bacterium Vibrio sp. strain NJ-2 was isolated from rotten red algae, and κ-carrageenase with high activity was purified from the culture supernatant. The purified enzyme with molecular mass of 33 kDa showed the maximal activity of 937 U/mg at 40℃ and pH 8.0. It maintained 80% of total activity below 40℃ and between pH 6.0 and 10.0. The kinetics experiment showed the K_m and V_max values were 2.54 g/ml and 138.89 mmol/min/mg, respectively. The thin layer chromatography and ESI-MS analysis of hydrolysates indicated that the enzyme can endolytically depolymerize the κ-carrageenan into oligosaccharides with degrees of depolymerization of 2-8. Owing to its high activity, it could be a valuable tool to produce κ-carrageenan oligosaccharides with various biological activities.

The production of tetrodotoxin (TTX) using Vibrio sp. YE-101, a novel marine microorganism isolated from the intestine of pufferfish, was investigated. Culture condition was optimized for the enhanced production of TTX using response surface methodology. The experimental sets of environmental conditions including pH, temperature and NaCl concentration were designed using central composite experimental design. The optimal conditions of pH, temperature and NaCl concentration were determined to be 8.1, 29.2℃, and 2.6% (w/v) respectively. The relative growth extent could be enhanced up to 80%, and final mouse unit (MU) value of TTX was also enhanced up to 87% by response surface optimization.

Vibrio anguillarum is a gram-negative bacterium that causes vibriosis in approximately 80 different fish species. V. anguillarum produces several exotoxins are correlated with the pathogenesis of vibriosis. This study is focused on the composition of the outer membrane vesicle. Most of gram-negative bacteria produce outer membrane vesicle (OMV) during cell growth. OMV was formed from the outer membrane surface of cell and than released to extracellular environment. OMV consists of outer membrane lipids, outer membrane protein (OMP), LPS, and soluble periplasmic components. Also, they contain toxins, adhesions, and immunomodulatory. Many gram-negative bacteria were studied out forming OMV. In Vibrio sp., formation of OMV by electron microscopy has been reported from V. cholerae and V. parahaemolyticus. In present study, we isolated OMV from V. anguillarum and OMV protein was separated by SDS-PAGE. Magor band was sliced and analyzed by MALDI-TOF. The major protein band of 38kDa was identified as OmpU by MALDI-TOF MS analysis.

사람과 어류에게 감염증을 유발하는 Edwardsiella sp., Streptococcus sp. 및 Vibrio sp. 의 해양 유해세균에 대한 해조류 추출물의 항균 활성을 조사하였다. 연구에 사용된 4종의 식용 해조류 중에서 감태 MeOH 추출물이 본 연구에서 사용 된 6종의 모든 해양 유해세균에 대해 넓은 범위의 항균 활성을 나타내었다. 감태의 MeOH 추출물의 유기용매 분획 추출물들 중에서, EtOAc 분획 추출물이 가장 높은 항균활성을 나타내었으며 6종의 해양 유해세균에 대하여 $128{\mu}g/mL$에서 $256{\mu}g/mL$의 MIC 값을 나타내었다. 또한, HPLC 분석에 의해 감태 EtOAc 분획 추출물에 phlorotannin 화합물인 dieckol이 다량 존재하고 있는 것이 확인 되었다. 결론적으로, 감태 추출물의 phlorotannin 화합물이 여러 유해세균에 대한 강한 항균활성을 나타내는 것처럼, 해양 유해세균에 대해서도 강한 항균활성을 나타내는 것으로 판단된다.

Agarose is a linear polysaccharide composed of ᴅ-galactose and 3,6-anhydro-ʟ-galactose (AHG). It is a major component of the red algal cell wall and is gaining attention as an abundant marine biomass. However, the inability to ferment AHG is considered an obstacle in the large-scale use of agarose and could be addressed by understanding AHG catabolism in agarolytic microorganisms. Since AHG catabolism was uniquely confirmed in Vibrio sp. EJY3, a gram-negative marine bacterial species, we investigated AHG metabolism in Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2), an agarolytic gram-positive soil bacterium. Based on genomic data, the SCO3486 protein (492 amino acids) and the SCO3480 protein (361 amino acids) of S. coelicolor A3(2) showed identity with H2IFE7.1 (40% identity) encoding AHG dehydrogenase and H2IFX0.1 (42% identity) encoding 3,6-anhydro-ʟ-galactonate cycloisomerase, respectively, which are involved in the initial catabolism of AHG in Vibrio sp. EJY3. Thin layer chromatography and mass spectrometry of the bioconversion products catalyzed by recombinant SCO3486 and SCO3480 proteins, revealed that SCO3486 is an AHG dehydrogenase that oxidizes AHG to 3,6-anhydro-ʟ-galactonate, and SCO3480 is a 3,6-anhydro-ʟ-galactonate cycloisomerase that converts 3,6-anhydro-ʟ-galactonate to 2-keto-3-deoxygalactonate. SCO3486 showed maximum activity at pH 6.0 at 50℃, increased activity in the presence of iron ions, and activity against various aldehyde substrates, which is quite distinct from AHG-specific H2IFE7.1 in Vibrio sp. EJY3. Therefore, the catabolic pathway of AHG seems to be similar in most agar-degrading microorganisms, but the enzymes involved appear to be very diverse.

해수중 잔류옥시던트(TRO) 농도를 0.1, 0.3 및 0.5 mg/liter로 조정하고 시간 경과에 따른 농도의 안정성을 관찰한 결과 0.1 mg/liter의 경우 측정 20분까지는 변화를 보이지 않았고, 0.3 및 0.5 mg/liter 에서는 1시간 경과시까지 안정하였다. 해수를 오존처리하여 해수중에 생성되는 TRO를 이용하여 해산어류 병원세균인 Edwardsiella tarda, Vibrio sp., Streptococcus sp., Staphylococcus sp.에 대한 살균효과를 실험한 결과 0.1 mg/liter에서 3분간의 처리로 99.9% 이상, 0.3~0.5 mg/liter에서는 30초에서 1분간의 반응시간으로 99.99% 이상이 살균되어졌다.
