Objectives: This study aims to provide basic data regarding the bacterial total plate count in the atmospheric environment for related studies. Methods: Total plate count and the identification of culturable bacteria in the atmospheric environment in Incheon took place in 2015 using periodic survey. Correlationship analysis was performed between the number of culturable bacteria and environmental elements. In addition, an estimation of novel bacterial species was undertaken using the similarities and phylogenetic tree based on the 16S rRNA gene. Results: The total plate count of culturable bacteria was on average $176CFU/m^3$, and did not exceed $610CFU/m^3$ in the atmospheric environment. Periodic monthly measuring of total plate count was highest in June at $293CFU/m^3$, while the lowest was in July at $125CFU/m^3$. Furthermore, as a result of the identification of culturable bacteria, the genera Arthrobacter and Kocuria were dominant, while novel bacterial taxa that belong to the genera Chryseobacterium and Herbiconiux were separated. Conclusion: The total number of culturable bacteria from the atmospheric environment in Korea is on average $176CFU/m^3$. In addition, the genera Arthrobacter and Kocuria dominate. The presence of novel bacterial taxa are expected in the atmospheric environment, such as belonging to the genera Chryseobacterium and Herbiconiux.

Background: We previously elucidated the protective mechanism of Korean red ginseng oil (RGO) against Brucella abortus infection, and our phytochemical analysis revealed that palmitic acid (PA) was an abundant component of RGO. Consequently, we investigated the contribution of PA against B. abortus. Objectives: We aimed to investigate the efficacy of PA against B. abortus infection using a murine cell line and a murine model. Methods: Cell viability, bactericidal, internalization, and intracellular replication, western blot, nitric oxide (NO), and superoxide (O₂^-) analyses and flow cytometry were performed to determine the effects of PA on the progression of B. abortus infection in macrophages. Flow cytometry for cytokine analysis of serum samples and bacterial counts from the spleens were performed to determine the effect of PA in a mouse model. Results: PA did not affect the growth of B. abortus. PA treatment in macrophages did not change B. abortus uptake but it did attenuate the intracellular survivability of B. abortus. Incubation of cells with PA resulted in a modest increase in sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) expression. Compared to control cells, reduced nitrite accumulation, augmented O₂^-, and enhanced pro-inflammatory cytokine production were observed in PA-treated B. abortus-infected cells. Mice orally treated with PA displayed a decreased serum interleukin-10 level and enhanced bacterial resistance. Conclusions: Our results suggest that PA participates in the control of B. abortus within murine macrophages, and the in vivo study results confirm its efficacy against the infection. However, further investigations are encouraged to completely characterize the mechanisms involved in the inhibition of B. abortus infection by fatty acids.

The effect of addition with maesil(Prunus mume) juice for extending the shelf-life of wet noodle was investigated by measuring quality changes such as total microbial count and pH. The Prunus mume juice showed antimicrobial activities against Salmonella enteritidis, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus, Listeria monocytogenes, and Escherichia coli. When the wet noodles containing Prunus mume juice were kept at $4^{\circ}C$ for 20 days, it was showed that the drop of pH was not significantly occurred during the storage. Total microbial counts for control exceeded the initial putrefactive criterion level of $1.0{\times}10^6\;cfu/g$ at 16 days of storage at $4^{\circ}C$. However, total microbial count of wet noodles with the addition of 10%, 20% and 30% Prunus mume juice were $3.0{\times}10^2\;cfu/g,\;3.0{\times}10^2\;cfu/g,\;and\;1.5{\times}10^2\;cfu/g$, respectively, and these bacterial counts were still less than the criterion level ever at 20 days of storage. The addition of Prunus mume juice extended the shelf-life of wet noodle appreciably.

This experiment was carried out to investigate the effects on shelf-life of chilling and packing methods of cold chicken breast and thigh meats. Deboned chicken breast and thigh meats were packed by either vacuum or atmosphere packing method, and stored at -2˚C for 1, 3, 7, 11, 15, and 20 days. The thiobarbituric acid(TBA) values of all treatments were significantly increased as the storage period extended(P<0.05), however, TBA values of all treatments were remark-ably decreased at 15 days. TBA values of immersion chilled and vacuum-packed thigh meats were increased, but no difference between atmosphere and vacuum-packing methods was found. The volatile basic nitrogen(VBN) values at 1 day of storage were low, but they were increased as the storage period extended. The VBN values at 20 days after storage were from 12.25~19.28 mg %. Total bacterial counts tended to increase in all treatments, however, no significant difference was found in any treatment. Total plate counts of breast meat were higher than those of thigh meat as the storage period extended.
