  • In this study, the antibacterial activities of essential oil from Zanthoxylum schinifolium against four Gram-positive bacteria and six Gram-negative bacteria were investigated. The antibacterial activity of the oils was determined using the agar-well diffusion assay, MIC (minimum inhibitory concentration) and MBC (minimum bactericidal concentration). In particular, essential oil from Z. schinifolium showed higher antibacterial activity against Gram-positive bacteria than against Gram-negative bacteria. Essential oil from Z. schinifolium displayed large inhibition zones especially against Bacillus cereus (31 mm). At concentrations between 0 and $20\;{\mu}g/mL$ the oils showed an antibacterial effect against both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values against nine bacteria ranged from 1.25 to $5\;{\mu}g/mL$. The minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) values against eight bacterial ranged from 2.5 to $20\;{\mu}g/mL$, except Shigella sonnei. Furthermore, our finding on the antibacterial activities of essential oils from Zanthoxylum schinifolium validated the use of this plant for medical purposes.

  • 국화 정유의 식중독균에 대한 항균력을 검증하기 위해 국화 정유와 그 주성분인 camphor, chrysanthemyl alcohol, $\alpha$-pinene, $\gamma$-terpinene, ${\alpha}+{\beta}$-thujone를 10종 균주에 대하여 agar-well diffusion 분석법으로 생육 여부를 분서하였다. 실험 결과 국화 정유와 그 지표물질은 Gram 양성균과 음성균 모두에 대해서 탁월한 항균 효과가 나타났다. Agar-well diffusion 분석법 결과 국화 정유와 그 지표물질은 Gram 음성균보다 Gram 양성균에 대해서 강력한 활성을 나타내었다. 국화 정유의 minimum inhibitory concentration은 모든 균주에 대하여 5 ${\mu}g/m{\ell}$에서 균의 생장을 저해하는 효과가 나타났고, minimum bacteriocidal concentration은 S. choleraesuis와 L. monocytogenes에 대해서는 시험농도 내에서 사멸효과가 관찰되지 않았으나, 다른 균주에 대해서는 5~20 ${\mu}g/m{\ell}$에서 살균력이 나타났다. 또한 액체 배양중의 항균효과를 조사한 결과, 국화 정유와 그 지표물질은 24시간 동안 꾸준히 항균력이 지속되었다. 따라서 camphor, chrysanthemyl alcohol, $\alpha$-pinene, $\gamma$-terpinene, ${\alpha}+{\beta}$-thujone를 조성분으로 함유한 국화 정유성분은 10종의 식중독균에 대한 항균활성이 입증되어, 천연 항균제재로서 식품보존료로의 이용이 가능하리라 생각된다.

  • To explore the possible usefulness of ${\beta}$-glucans as natural antioxidants, the antioxidant profiles of ${\beta}$-glucan, extracted from Saccharomyces cerevisiae KCTC 7911, and water soluble and insoluble mutant ${\beta}$-glucan, isolated from yeast mutant S. cerevisiae IS2, were examined by five different in vitro evaluation methods: lipid peroxidation value (POV), nitric oxide (NO), 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical, reducing power, and ${\beta}$-carotene diffusion assay. The antioxidant activities of all ${\beta}$-glucans evaluated in POV test were comparable to or better than that of the known antioxidant, vitamin C. Remarkably, the ${\beta}$-glucan and water insoluble mutant ${\beta}$-glucan possessed 2.5-fold more potent activity than vitamin C at a dosage of 2 mg. Although vitamin C showed 100-fold greater activity than all ${\beta}$-glucans in NO and DPPH tests for measuring the radical scavenging capacity, all ${\beta}$-glucans revealed higher radical scavenging activity than the known radical scavenger, N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC), in DPPH test. The water insoluble mutant ${\beta}$-glucan had 2.6- and 5-fold greater antioxidative activity than water soluble ${\beta}$-glucan in NO and DPPH tests, respectively, showing that all ${\beta}$-glucans were able to scavenge radicals such as NO or DPPH. While all ${\beta}$-glucans revealed lower antioxidant profiles than vitamin C in both reducing power activity and ${\beta}$-carotene agar diffusion assay, the ${\beta}$-glucan and water insoluble mutant ${\beta}$-glucan did show a marginal reducing power activity as well as a considerable ${\beta}$-carotene agar diffusion activity. These results confirmed the potential usefulness of these ${\beta}$-glucans as natural antioxidants.

  • The essential oil fraction of Ostericum koreanum was analyzed by GC-MS. Inhibiting activities of this oil and its main components were tested by the broth dilution assay and disk diffusion test against one antibiotic-susceptible and two resistant strains of Salmonella enteritidis and S. typhimurium, respectively. The GC-MS analysis revealed thirty-four compounds; the main components were $\alpha$-pinene (41.12%), $\rho$-cresol (17.99%) and 4-methylacetophenone (7.90%). The essential oil of O. koreanum and its main components were significantly effective against the tested antibiotic-susceptible strains as well as against the resistant strains of the two Salmonella species, with MICs (minimum inhibitory concentrations) ranging from 2 mg/mL to 16 mg/mL. The anti-Salmonella effects of the oils were dose-dependent on $M\"{u}ller-Hinton$ agar plates in this experiment. Additionally, checkerboard titer test results demonstrated significant combined effects of streptomycin and O. koreanum oil or cresol, one of the main components of this oil, against the two streptomycin resistant strains of S. typhimurium, with FICIs ranging from 0.12 to 0.37.

  • In this paper, an air isolate (NITT6L) has been screened based on hemolytic activity, emulsification activity, drop collapsing test, and oil displacement test, as well as lipase activity. It was found that strain NITT6L was able to reduce the surface tension of the medium from 61.5 to 39.83 mN/m and could form stable emulsions with tested vegetable oils. Morphological, biochemical, 16S rRNA sequencing analyses, and fatty acid methyl ester analysis using gas chromatography confirmed that the air isolate under study was Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Characterization of the biosurfactant using agar double diffusion assay revealed that the biosurfactant was anionic in nature, and CTAB-methylene blue assay and Molisch test revealed its glycolipid nature. The FT-IR spectrum confirmed that the crude biosurfactant was a rhamnolipid. Using unoptimized medium containing sucrose as the carbon source, the isolate was found to produce 0.3 mg/ml of rhamnolipid in batch cultivation (shake flask) at $37^{\circ}C$ and pH 7. Optimization of the medium components was carried out using design of experiments and the yield of rhamnolipid has been enhanced to 4.6 mg/ml in 72 h of fermentation.

  • In this exploratory study, eight types of microalgae from different phyla (Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, Chlorella species, Haematococcus pluvialis, Porphyridium purpureum, Porphyridium cruentum, Isochrysis species, Isochrysis galbana, and Pavlova lutheri) were tested for their antibacterial activities against eight target pathogenic bacterial strains. The agar well diffusion method and broth micro dilution assay were conducted to estimate the antibacterial activity. Microalgae cell-free supernatants, exopolysaccharides (EPS), water, and organic solvent extracts were used for inhibition analysis. EPS extracted from P. lutheri showed activity against Bacillus subtilis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Inhibition zone diameters of 14-20 mm were recorded on agar plates, while the minimum inhibitory concentrations in the broth micro dilution assay were $0.39-25mg\;ml^{-1}$. During this study, haptophyte microalgae, Isochrysis species, and P. lutheri extracts showed the highest activity against most of the tested pathogenic bacterial strains, while most of the extracts were active against the important foodborne pathogen P. aeruginosa. This study showed promising results regarding important microalgae phyla, which will further aid research related to extracts and exploitation of bioactive metabolic compounds in the food and pharmaceutical industries.

  • 본 연구는 여드름을 유발하는 세균인 Propionibacterium acnes에 대해 다양한 토양에서 분리된 세균 균주들의 항균효과를 조사하기 위해 수행되었다. 수백 개의 분리 세균균주 중 Paenibacillus elgii DS381과 Paenibacillus elgii DS1515, Burkhoderia gladioli DS518, Streptomyces lienomycini DS620는 2가지 균주의 P. acnes에 대해 높은 항균활성을 나타내었다. 이 분리균주들은 agar well diffusion test에서 15.5~34.3 mm 직경의 저해대를 형성하였으며, 특히 DS620는 가장 큰 저해대 직경(28.3~34.3 mm)을 나타내었다. 분리 균주가 생성하는 항균 물질은 DS381과 DS1515 균주의 경우lipopeptide (pelgipeptin, paenipeptin), DS518은 protease, 그리고 DS620은 anthracycline 인 것으로 추정되며, 이들 모두 P. acnes에 대해매우낮은 최소저해농도를 나타내었다[DS381와 DS1515 (0.078 mg/ml), DS518 (0.312 mg/ml), DS620 (0.000078 mg/ml)]. P. acnes를 대상으로 한 time-kill assay에서는 네 균주의 항균물질이 모두 24시간 이내에 P. acnes를 완전히 사멸시켰다. 이 결과는 네 가지 항균활성 균주들이 분비하는 항균물질들이 여드름을 유발하는 P. acnes에 대하여 효율적인 치료 소재로 사용될 수 있는 가능성을 보여준다.
