The objective of this study was to evaluate the antifungal properties of xanthorrhizol (extract from curcuma xanthorrhiza) against Candida albicans. Some of the commercial products were evaluated for their ability to inhibit growth of C. albicans. OTC product containing povidone iodide and cosmetic grade product with surfactants were tested. Antifungal activity was shown in 1.56% of OTC product, however, there was no antifungal effect in cosmetic product. For the comparison, we tested several materials. Povidone iodide, lemon tea tree oil and xanthorrhizol showed antifungal activities against C albicans in 0.25, 0.062 and 0.007%, respectively. We also tested the antifungal effects of povidone iodide and xanthorrhizol in surfactant base. Test results revealed that 2.5% of povidone iodide and 0.156% of xanthorrhizol showed similar antifungal effects. These findings support the application of xanthorrhizol for vaginal cleanser or personal cares using antifungal effect.

More than 120 isolates of lactic acid bacteria obtained from Kimchi was screened for antifungal activity against Aspergillus fumigatus. Approximately 10% of the isolates showed inhibitory activity and only 4.16% (five isolates) exhibited strong activity against the indicator fungus A. fumigatus. The five isolates showed a wide rang of antifungal activity against A. flavus, Fusarium moniliforme, Penicillium commune, and Rhizopus oryzae. They were identified by 16S rDNA sequencing as Lactobacillus cruvatus, L. lactis subsp. lactis, L. casei, L. pentosus, and L. sakei. The effect of Lactobacillus on mycelial growth and fungal biomass as well as its ability to produce toxic compounds were determined. The results indicate that the three species, Lactobacillus casei, L. lactis subsp. lactis, and L. pentosus, are active against A. fumigatus.

본 논문에서는 다양한 온도조건에서 발효한 퇴비차의 항진균 효능에 관한 연구내용을 제시하였다. 최근에 많은 농가에서 일반 대중의 친환경 농산물에 대한 선호에 부응하고 식물병 예방을 위하여 퇴비차를 선택하고 있다. 퇴비차에 대한 많은 연구가 진행되었으나 아직 퇴비차에 대한 이해가 부족하고 퇴비차가 발효되는 동안 온도가 항진균 효과에 미치는 영향에 대한 연구는 없었다. 본 연구에서는 10, 20, 30, $40^{\circ}C$에서 발효한 퇴비차의 항진균 활동이 본 연구에서 선정한 10종의 병원성 미생물에 미치는 영향을 관찰하였다. 결과에 따르면 20에서 $30^{\circ}C$에서 발효한 퇴비차의 항진균 활동이 가장 강한 것으로 나타났으며 $10^{\circ}C$에서 발효한 퇴비차가 가장 약한 것으로 밝혀졌다. 발효온도가 항진균 활동에 미치는 변화는 퇴비차의 미생물이 항진균 활동에 강하게 개입하고 있음을 시사해주고 있다.

A252 균주의 항균성물질의 생성 및 균주의 배양적 특성을 조사한 결과 균체의 생장은 TSB와 malt extract-yeast extract (ISP-2) 배양기가 좋았으며, 배양여액의 항균활성은 TSB와 nutrient broth에서 효과적이였다. TSB 배지에서 균사생장 및 배양여액의 항균활성은 $25^{\circ}C$와 pH 6.5에서 최적화 되었으며, 2$\%$ TSB 농도에서는 1$\%$에 비해 생장은 좋았으나 배양여액의 항균활성에는 차이가 없었다. A252 균주의 균사 생장은 접종 72시간 후에 최대치에 달하였으며 반면 배양액의 항균력은 접종 60시간 후인 idiophase에 가장 높은 수준을 보였지만 96시간 후에는 약간 감소하는 경향을 나타냈다. 배양여액의 항균활성은 $121^{\circ}C$ 고온에서도 안정하였으며, pH에 대한 안정성은 4.0 - 9.0의 범위였다. A252 균주의 생리적 특성 및 분생자경의 형태 등을 관찰한 결과 Streptomyces sp.로 동정되었다.

메주로부터 곰팡이 및 세균 등에 생육 저해활성을 나타내는 균주 B. polyfermenticus CJ6을 분리 동정하였다. 분리 균주 B. polyfermenticus CJ6는 2단 대수기를 나타내는 생육 곡선상 특이점을 나타내었으며 배양 30시간 이후부터 최대 활성을 나타내었고 사멸기 이후 활성이 다소 감소되었으나 120시간까지 활성을 유지하였다. B. polyfermenticus CJ6의 항진균 활성 물질은 $70^{\circ}C$ 이상에서 활성이 감소되었으나 $121^{\circ}C$에서 15분간 열처리 시 역가가 완전히 소실되지 않았다. pH 안정성 실험에서는 pH $3.0{\sim}9.0$ 구간에서 안정한 활성을 나타내었으며, 각종 효소에 대한 영향에서 항진균 활성물질은 proteinase K, protease, ${\alpha}$-chymotrypsin 등의 단백분해효소 처리로 역가를 상실하거나 일부 감소되어 단백질성 물질임을 추정하였다. 균주의 항진균 활성 물질을 $C_{18}$ Sep-Pak column으로 부분 정제한 후 Tricine-SDS-PAGE 및 direct detection 실험을 통하여 분자량이 약 1.4 kDa의 물질임을 확인하였다. B. polyfermenticus CJ6가 생산하는 항진균 활성 물질은 기존에 거의 보고되지 않은 B. polyfermenticus 유래의 단백질성 항진균 활성 물질로서 천연보존제 및 천연항균제재로 사용이 기대되며, 이를 위하여 항진균 활성 물질들의 정제 및 구조분석 등의 연구가 필요하다.

Antifungal agents are used to impart antibacterial or bactericidal properties to commodities and various articles used in industries and can be classified into two broad groups i.e organic and inorganic. Inorganic antifungal agents comprise of Ag, Zn, or Cu, etc. These elements tend to exhibit high level of antifungal activities, non-uniform dispersion in substrates, and have poor properties in expensive and cheap adhesiveness. In this study, the organic antifungal agent was used for the purpose of investigating the antifungal activity of antifungal agent activated-cement mortar (AACM) on the aspergilus niger of various fungus which can be easily discovered in the interiors and exteriors of buildings. In addition, an experiment on the basic physical properties of AACM such as compressive and flexural strength was carried out. The conclusion of this investigation revealed that a dosage increase of antifungal agent exhibits a high inhibitory effect on the aspergilus niger, and although there is a slight decrease in the strength of AACM, the strength of AACM was almost equal to that of inactivated cement mortar.

Antifungal activities of clove essential oil and its volatile vapour against dermatophytic fungi including Candida albicans, Epidermophyton floccosum. Microsporum audouinii, Trichophyton mentagrophytes, and Trichophyton rubrum were investigated. Both clove essential oil and its volatile vapour strongly inhibit spore germination and mycelial growth of the dermatophytic fungi tested. The volatile vapour of clove essential oil showed fungistatic activity whereas direct application of clove essential oil showed fungicidal activity.

Pseudomonas fluorescens MC07 is a growth-promoting rhizobacterium that suppresses mycelial growth in fungi such as Rhizoctonia solani, Pythium ultimum, Fusarium oxysporum, and Phytophthora capsici. To determine the role of the bacterium's antifungal activity in disease suppression, we screened 2,500 colonies generated by Tn5lacZ insertions, and isolated a mutant 157 that had lost antifungal activity. The EcoRI fragment carrying Tn5lacZ was cloned into pBluescript II SK(+) and used as a probe to isolate wild-type clones from a genomic library of the parent strain, MC07. Two overlapping cosmid clones, pEH4 and pEH5, that had hybridized with the mutant clone were isolated. pEH4 conferred antifungal activity to the heterologous host P.fluorescens strain 1855.344, whereas pEH5 did not. Through transposon mutagenesis of pEH4 and complementation analyses, we delineated the 14.7-kb DNA region that is responsible for the biosynthesis of an antifungal compound. DNA sequence analysis of the region identified 11 possible open reading frames (ORF), ORF1 through ORF11. A BLAST search of each putative protein implied that the proteins may be involved in an antifungal activity similar to polyketides.

Indigenous strains of Trichoderma species isolated from rhizosphere soils of Tea gardens of Assam, north eastern state of India were assessed for in vitro antagonism against two important tea fungal pathogens namely Pestalotia theae and Fusarium solani. A potent antagonist against both tea pathogenic fungi, designated as SDRLIN1, was selected and identified as Trichoderma viride. The strain also showed substantial antifungal activity against five standard phytopathogenic fungi. Culture filtrate collected from stationary growth phase of the antagonist demonstrated a significantly higher degree of inhibitory activity against all the test fungi, demonstrating the presence of an optimal blend of extracellular antifungal metabolites. Moreover, quantitative enzyme assay of exponential and stationary culture filtrates revealed that the activity of cellulase, ${\beta}$-1,3-glucanase, pectinase, and amylase was highest in the exponential phase, whereas the activity of proteases and chitinase was noted highest in the stationary phase. Morphological changes such as hyphal swelling and distortion were also observed in the fungal pathogen grown on potato dextrose agar containing stationary phase culture filtrate. Moreover, the antifungal activity of the filtrate was significantly reduced but not entirely after heat or proteinase K treatment, demonstrating substantial role of certain unknown thermostable antifungal compound(s) in the inhibitory activity.

키토산및 올리고키토산의 C. albicans과 T. rubrum에 대한 항 진균작용에 대하여 조사하였다. 키토산은 C. albicans과 T. rubrum에 대하여 항 진균 효과를 나타내었으나 올리고키토산은 두 균주에 대한 성장억제를 나타내지 않았다. 키토산의 항 진균 양상은 살 진균 적 활성을 나타내었다. 키토산의 apoptosis유도에 대한 조사를 위하여 phosphatidylserine의 세포막 외부로의 노출을 FITC-Annexin 반응을 이용하여 관찰하였다. 실험결과 키토산은 C. albicans의 세포에 대하여 apoptosis를 유도하는 것을 보여주었다.
