  • This study was conducted to investigate the total phenol contents, antioxidative activities and antibacterial activities of twenty species of entomopathogenic fungi. The total phenol content was highest in Aspergillus flavus ($553.0{\pm}52.15{\mu}g/g$) and A. parasiticus ($529.9{\pm}60.10{\mu}g/g$). On the other hand those in other strains were within the range of $26.6{\sim}121.9{\mu}g/g$. The antioxdative activity was shown in the most of strains and the highest DPPH (1, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging activity was observed in A. flavus ($90.9{\pm}2.90%$) and A. parasiticus ($77.9{\pm}4.13%$). This result indicated that the antioxidative activities were very correlated with the total phenol contents. The antibacterial activitiy was found in the every tested pathogenic bacteria. Especially, the antibacterial activity was strongest against Listeria monocytogenes and Escherchia coli.

  • When inoculating with B. bassiana 101A for the mass production of B. corpus, the infection ratio was high with regardless of the treating time with highly-humidity if the concentration of spore was 1.0${\times}$$10^8$ spores/m/, but that was low if the concentration was 1.0${\times}$$10^7$ spores/m/. In the study of the activities according to the coserving temperature or days of the B. bassiana spawn, the infection ratio of 90% was maintained for 12 days in the temperature of $4^{\circ}C$. However, the infection ratio was rapidly dropped to the below of 5% after conserved for 48 hours in the temperature of $25^{\circ}C$. Besides, the activities of the original isolate had no difference after conserved for 12 months in the temperature of $4^{\circ}C$, so that the infection ratio 90% could be mintatined. In the measure of liver-protecting activities of B. bassiana 101A, the recovering effect was 43.5% and 65.7% respectively in the poisonous treatment induced with galactosamine, compared with liver-protecting activities of Silymarin and DDB in the $H_2O$ fraction. In the poisonous treatment induced with $CCl_4$ the recovering effect was 100% and 69.3% respectively, compared with liver-protecting activities of Silymarin and DDB in the EtOAc fraction.

  • This study aims to investigate relationships between lifestyle and benefit sought of rural healing tourists. For data collection, a total of 3,000 copies of questionnaires were collected by nationwide online survey. The data were analyzed by using SPSS 26.0. The factor analysis identified seven dimensions of the lifestyle : conservative, sports activity orientation, health orientation, consumption orientation, achievement orientation, adventure orientation, and personal orientation. Five dimensions of benefit sought were identified as psychological recovery, outdoor activities, rest, rural experience, and exercise. The results of the canonical correlation analysis indicated that adventure orientation of lifestyle and psychological recovery, outdoor activities, rural experience, exercise of benefit sought were highly correlated. This means it is important to place an emphasis on psychological recovery, outdoor activities, rural experience, and exercise for tourists looking for an adventure away from everyday life. Rural healing tourism marketers should consider lifestyle aspects as the most important factors affecting benefit sought of rural healing tourism.

  • The present study represents the investigation of in vitro immunopotentiating activities of cellular fractions of major lactic acid bacteria found in kimchi (KLAB) and bifidobacteria. The macrophage cells, RAW264.7, were stimulated with heat-killed whole-cell, cell-wall, and cytoplasmic fractions of four strains of KLAB (Leuconostoc mesenteroides, Leuconostoc citreum, Lactobacillus plantarum, and Lactobacillus sake) and two strains of bifidobacteria (Bifidobacterium longum and Bifidobacterium lactis) each, and then the production of nitric oxide (NO) and cytokines including tumor necrosis $factor-\alpha\;(TNF-\alpha)$ and interleukin-6 (IL-6) was measured by Griess and ELISA assays, respectively. Heat-killed wholecell and cell-wall fractions-but not the cytoplasmic fraction-from all strains of KLAB significantly increased the production of NO in RAW264.7 cells, and all fractions from bifidobacteria exerted similar effects. In the production of $TNF-\alpha$, heat-killed whole-cell and cell-wall fractions of L. plantarum showed the strongest effect, followed by L. sake and B. lactis, whereas other KLAB fractions did not exert any effect. In the production of IL-6, only whole-cell and cell-wall fractions of L. plantarum were effective. These results, taken together, indicate that L. plantarum might playa critical role in the immunopotentiating activities of kimchi.

  • This study was performed to investigate the antibacterial activities and the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 6 strains of Beauveria bassiana against mulberry pathogenic bacteria. The antibacterial activities and the MIC were measured using paper disc method and broth dilution method, respectively. The antibacterial activities were found out just B. bassiana J200, and shown at 13 mm from Erwinia rhapontici KACC 10407 and at 17 mm from Pseudomonas syringae KACC 10390 and Xanthomonas campestris KACC 12134. The MIC were all observed at 4.0% from E. rhapontici KACC 10407, P. syringae KACC 10390 and X. campestris KACC 12134. The results suggest that B. bassiana could play a good role for biological control against mulberry pathogenic bacteria.
