항진균 활성균주를 선발하는 과정에서 DM3 균주를 대천 바닷가에서 수집된 진흙 시료로부터 분리하였으며 API 50CHB kit를 이용하여 동정한 결과 Bacillus licheniformis로 동정되었다. 이 균주는 12종의 식물병원성 진균에 대해 항균활성을 나타내었다. 감마선($^{60}Co$)을 조사하여 항진균 활성 결핍 돌연변이체(mDMB)를 유도한 후, 이차원전기영동으로 단백질을 분석한 결과 DM3와 mDM3에만 존재하는 각각 4종과 3종의 단 단백질을 확인할 수 있었다. 2-DE 결과 B. licheniformis DM3에서 spot 1은 serine hydroxymethyltransferase(45.0kDa), spot 2는 hypothetical protein(40.7 kDa), spot 3는 NifU protein homolog(15.4 kDa), 그리고 spot 4는 resolvase(12.5 kDa)와 상동성을 지닌 단백질로 동정되었고 B. licheniformis mDM3에서만 발현된 spot 5는 lysozyme(18.1 kDa)과 spot 6, 7은 alkyl hydroperoxide reductase(15.6 kDa)으로 동정되었다. B. licheniformis DM3에서 이들 단백질들의 항진균 활성 관련 여부를 규명하기 위해서 더 연구가 진행되어야 할 것으로 사료된다.

최근 화장품에 쓰이는 방부제에 대한 피부 부작용이 보고되고 있다. 그 중에서 1,2-hexanediol (HD)는 방부기능과 보습기능을 가지고 있는 물질로 알려져 있는데, 본 연구에서는 보다 안전한 화장품용 소재를 개발하기 위하여 β-galactosidase (β-gal)을 함유하고 있는 대장균 세포를 이용한 transgalactosylation 반응을 통하여 1,2-hexanediol galactoside (HD-G)을 합성하는 연구를 수행하였다. 이 반응은 높은 농도의 lactose (300 g/l) 조건에서 24시간 동안 수행되었으며, 반응 시간이 12시간 지난 후부터 새로운 spot이 TLC 분석으로 확인되었다. 이 spot을 잠정적으로 HD-G로 추정한 후, 이 물질을 silica gel chromatography로 정제한 후, mass spectrometry 분석을 통하여, 이 물질이 HD-G의 sodium adduct ion ([M+Na]⁺, m/z=303.1423)임을 확인하였다. 추가적으로 정제된 HD-G를 시판되는 β-gal을 이용하여 가수분해하고, 유리된 단당류를 TLC로 분석하여 보았다. 이 때, galactose 한 분자가 HD-G로부터 유리 되는 것을 확인하였다. 결론적으로, 재조합 대장균 β-gal을 이용하여 HD로부터 HD-G이 합성되었음을 확인할 수 있었으며, 앞으로 추가연구를 통하여 항균력의 변화와 피부세포에 대한 세포독성 변화를 조사할 예정이며, 기능성에 변화가 없는 보다 안전한 화장품용 방부제가 개발되기를 기대하고 있다.

As with land crops, cultivated algae are affected by various diseases ranging from large outbreaks of a disease to chronic epiphytes, which may downgrade the value of the final product. The recent development of intensive and dense mariculture practices has enabled some new diseases to spread much faster than before. A new disease is reported almost every year, and the impact of diseases is expected to increase with environmental change, such as global warming. We observed the incidence of diseases in two Pyropia sea farms in Korea from 2011 to 2014, and estimated the economic loss caused by each disease. Serious damage is caused by the oomycete pathogens, Pythium porphyrae and Olpidiopsis spp., which decreased the productivity of the Pyropia sea farms. In Seocheon sea farms, an outbreak of Olpidiopsis spp. disease resulted in approximately US $1.6 million in loss, representing approximately 24.5% of total sales during the 2012-2013 season. The damage caused by green-spot disease was almost as serious as oomycete diseases. An outbreak of green-spot disease in the Seocheon sea farms resulted in approximately US $1.1 million in loss, representing 10.7% of total sales in the 2013-2014 season in this area. However, the causative agent of green-spot disease is still not confirmed. "Diatom felt" is regarded as a minor nuisance that does not cause serious damage in Pyropia; however, our case study showed that the economic loss caused by "diatom felt" might be as serious as that of oomycete diseases. Bacteria and cyanobacteria are indigenous members of epiphytic microbial community on Pyropia blades, but can become opportunistic pathogens under suitable environmental conditions, especially when Pyropia suffers from other diseases. A regular acid wash of the Pyropia cultivation nets is the most common treatment for all of the above mentioned diseases, and represents approximately 30% of the total cost in Pyropia sea farming. However, the acid wash is ineffective for some diseases, especially for Olpidiopsis and bacterial diseases.

This study aimed to isolate and characterize antibacterial metabolites from Pharbitis nil seeds and investigate their antibacterial activity against various plant pathogenic bacteria. The methanol extract of P. nil seeds showed the strongest activity against Xanthomonas arboricola pv. pruni (Xap) with a minimum inhibition concentration (MIC) value of $250{\mu}g/ml$. Among the three solvent layers obtained from the methanol extract of P. nil seeds, only the butanol layer displayed the activity with an MIC value of $125{\mu}g/ml$ against Xap. An antibacterial fraction was obtained from P. nil seeds by repeated column chromatography and identified as pharbitin, a crude resin glycoside, by instrumental analysis. The antibacterial activity of pharbitin was tested in vitro against 14 phytopathogenic bacteria, and it was found to inhibit Ralstonia solanacearum and four Xanthomonas species. The minimum inhibitory concentration values against the five bacteria were $125-500{\mu}g/ml$ for the n-butanol layer and $31.25-125{\mu}g/ml$ for pharbitin. In a detached peach leaf assay, it effectively suppressed the development of bacterial leaf spot, with a control value of 87.5% at $500{\mu}g/ml$. In addition, pharbitin strongly reduced the development of bacterial wilt on tomato seedlings by 97.4% at $250{\mu}g/ml$, 7 days after inoculation. These findings suggest that the crude extract of P. nil seeds can be used as an alternative biopesticide for the control of plant diseases caused by R. solanacearum and Xanthomonas spp. This is the first report on the antibacterial activity of pharbitin against phytopathogenic bacteria.

The purpose of this study was to isolate and characterize bacteriocin-producing bacteria against Clostridium perfringens from domestic animals to determine their usefulness as probiotics. The feces of cattle and chicken were used as sources to isolate bacteriocin-producing bacteria using the spot-on-lawn method. In total, 900 bacterial stains were isolated from domestic animal feces, and 19 strains were finally selected after determining the inhibitory activity against the pathogenic indicator C. perfringens KCTC 3269. Eighteen strains of Bacillus subtilis and one strain of Brevibacillus parabrevis were identified by 16s rRNA sequencing. Most of the bacterial strains isolated were resistant to 0.5% bile salts and remained viable after 2 h at pH 3.0. Additionally, some B. subtilis strains showed strong inhibitory activity against Listeria monocytogenes. We isolated and screened B. subtilis strains CB 153 and CB 189 from cattle and B. subtilis MSC 156 and B. parabrevis MSC 164 from chickens using probiotic selection criteria such as inhibition activity against C. perfringens and tolerance to acid and bile salts. The isolated bacteriocin-producing bacteria and/or bacteriocin have the potential to be used as probiotics in the livestock industry.

Kudzu vine(Pueraria montana var. lobata) is an invasive climbing woody vine that envelops trees and shrubs, pressing physically and shutting out sunlight, which needs to be controlled. Kudzu vine pathogens were surveyed as a way to seek its biocontrol agents in 2002. Occurrence of a bacterial halo blight disease of kudzu vine was observed at several localities in Korea including Euiwang and Suwon in Gyeonggi Province, Daejon, and Gochang and Buan in Jeonbuk Province. Symptoms of brown to black spots with a surrounding yellowish halo appeared from June and lasted till the rainy season without much expansion, but accompanying often leaf blight and defoliation. Isolated bacteria were identified as Pseudomonas syringae pv. phaseolicola based on physiological and cultural characteristics, Biolog, fatty acid and 16S rDNA sequencing analyses. In artificial inoculation test, these bacteria produced the same halo spot symptoms on kudzu vine and bean plants. They also induced hypersensitive responses (HR) on tobacco, tomato, and chili pepper leaves. This is the first report of a bacterial disease of kudzu vine in Korea, and the bacterial pathogen can be used as a biocontrol agent against the pest plant.

Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo), X. campestris pv. vesicatoria (Xcv), and Pectobacterium carotovorum pv. carotovorum (Pcc) are the causative agents of bacterial blight in rice, bacterial spot in pepper, and bacterial soft rot in carrot and cabbage, respectively. To isolate novel microbial extracts with antimicrobial activities against these bacteria, approximately 5,300 different Streptomyces extracts were prepared and tested. Microbial cultures from various Streptomyces strains isolated from the Jeju Island, Baekam, Mankyoung river, Jiri mountain etc. in Korea were extracted into three different factions -secreted hydrophobic, secreted hydrophilic, and mycelia- using ethyl acetate, water, and methanol. Initially, 34, 29, and 10 extracts were selected as having antibacterial activities against Xoo, Xcv, and Pcc, respectively. Extracts 1169G4, 1172E9, and 1172E10 had the highest growth inhibition activities against both Xoo and Xcv, and extracts 1151H7 and 1152H7 showed the highest growth inhibition activities against Pcc.
