  • The antimicrobial substance produced by Lactobacillus bulgaricus was inactivated by pretense, which confirmed it as a bacteriocin and referred to 'bulgaricin HJ'. The bulgaricin HJ showed the inhibitory activity against mastitis pathogens, gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. The optimal conditions for the production of bulgaricin HJ were at the temperature of $30^{\circ}C$ and 10 h after cultivation of L. bulgaricus. Staph. and Strep. agalactiae, common bovine mastitis pathogens, were treated with bulgaricin HJ by the agar well diffusion method and showed antimirobial activities to the bovine mastitis pathogens. The activity of the bulgaricin HJ was maintained at pH 6-7 and $100^{\circ}C$ for 60 min against the mastitis pathogens. The bulgaricin HJ was determined as class IV bacteriocin by various enzyme treatments. Colony forming units analysis with indicator strains by the treatments of bulgaricin HJ indicates that the mode of bacteriocin action was bactericidal rather than bacteriostatic.

  • The effect of the ethanol extract from salviae miltiorrhizae radix (Salvia miltiorrhiza) on the microbial growht and the stability of the extracted antimicrobial material were investigated. The ethanol extract had strong growth inhibition activity (MIC, 3.13~50.0 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml) against Gram-positive bacteria such as B. subtilis, L. monocytogenes and S. aureus. Among Gram-positive bacteria tested, B. subtilis was the most susceptible to the extracted substance. While the antimicrobial activity of the ethanol extract was weak (MIC, 400~800 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml) to E. coli and yeasts (C. albicans, Sacch. diastaticus). The ethanol extract had bactericidal action at higher concentration than MIC against B. subtilis, while the extract had only bacteriostatic action against S. aureus. The extracted antimicrobial substance was stable in the pH range of 4.0 to 10.0, heat treatment at 121$^{\circ}C$ for 15 min, and freezing and thawing

  • Nylon fabrics and stocking were dyed with artemisia dyeing solution, dyed with the natural dyestuffs that were manufactured from chestnut hulls by boiling in 0.5% NaOH solution and powdering in freeze dryer, and dyed with gromwell dyeing solution. Dyeabilities on nylon fabrics and stocking were good because of being amine group. All the dyed fabrics & stocking showed excellent in color fastness to laundering, and as poor as grade 1 to light fastness. But Light fastness of them could be improved to grade 3 or 4-5 by treatment with gallic acid and by repeated dyeing. Antimicrobial activities of the fabrics dyed with artemisia and gromwell against Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans were excellent in the aspect of bacteriostatic and fungistatic. There were not any distinct differences between mordant and non-mordant fabrics.

  • There are a number of studies that explain the metabolism and roles of metallic titanium and titanium-ion. One of the most intriguing results from these studies is the finding of metallic titanium having no bacteriostatic effects on oral bacterial species. In this research, the effects of titanium-ion on the growth of twenty-two bacterial species, some of which are commonly found in foods such as yoghurt, kimchi, and soy fermented products, were investigated. All but two bacteria, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa appeared to be sensitive to titanium-ion. These two species were grown on 360 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$ of titanium-ions, and they were found to be resistant to the titanium-ion. Both the wild-type and plasmid-cured E. coli showed good growth in a medium with 200 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$ of titanium-ions. These results suggest that titanium-resistance was independent from the effects of the plasmid in E. coli.

  • The methanolic root extract of tissue cultured Pluchea indica (L.) Less. was tested for its antibacterial potentiality against 102 different strains of bacteria belonging to both Gram positive and Gram negative groups. The bacteria could be arranged according to their decreasing order of sensitivity as follows: Staphylococcus aureus, Vibrio cholerae, Bacillus spp. Vibrio parahaemolyticus, shigellae, Salmonella spp., and Escherichia coli. The extract was found to be bacteriostatic in nature against Salmonella typhimurium NCTC 74. When administered to Swiss strain of white mice at the doses of 0.5 and 1.0 mg/kg body weight, the extract could significantly protect the animals challenged with 50 MLD of S. typhimurium NCTC 74. According to the chi-square test, the in vivo data is highly significant (P < 0.001).

  • Lactoferrin is an iron-binding glycoprotein and its bacteriostatic and bactericidal effects on Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria have been well-known. However, certain kind of lactic acid bacteria are resistant against its antibacterial effects. Moreover, it is reported that lactoferrin promotes the growth of bifidobacteria by in vitro and in vivo experiments. In this experiment, lactoferrin-binding protein was found both in the membrane and cytosolic franctions of Bifidobacterium. Bifidobacterium was grown in anaerobic conditions in MRS broth containing cysteine, gathered by centrifugation and processed by sonication. The lactoferrin-binding proteins on the PVDF-membrane transferred after SDS-PAGE were detected by far-western method using biotinylated lactoferrin and streptavidin-labeled horse radish peroxidase. Observation in growth effects of lactoferrin on Bifidobacterium suggested that there is a relation between the presence of lactoferrin-binding proteins on the cells and their growth.

  • 5.7-Dichloro-8-hydroxyquinaldyl-N-ethylcarbamate, one of the carbamate derivative which are generally used as insecticide, was newly synthesized. Its physical properities were determined and chemical structure was indentified by means of I.R., nmr in addition to elemental analysis. The yield of addition, using triethylamine as catalyst, 5.7-dichloro-8-hydroxyquinaldine and isocyanate was better than that of condensation of 5.7-dichloro-8- hydroxyquinaldine with carbamoylchloride. The effect of the cornpond on rabbit's ileum, and antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella typhi, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were examined. It was observed that the dosage over 100 $\mu$g/ml of the compound relaxed rabbit's ileum and the same dosage of the compound inhibited growth of the above strains of bactera.

  • This presentation will give an overview of Ca-aluminate based biomaterials and their proposed use within the field of nanostructured biomaterials. The paper describes typical features of Ca-aluminate materials with regard to technology, chemistry, biocompatibility including hemocompatibility and bioactivity, and developed microstructure. Special focus will be on the developed microstructure, which is in the nanosize range. Application possibilities within odontology, orthopedics, and drug delivery are presented. The nanostructure including pore size below 5 nm in these structures opens up this material for some use in specific dental-related applications in which antibacterial and bacteriostatic aspects are of importance, and as thin coating on implants within dental and orthopaedic applications. Nanosize porosity is essential in drug delivery systems for controlled release of medicaments. The priority field for Ca-aluminate biomaterials is implant materials, which use minimally-invasive techniques to offer in vivo, on-site developed biomaterials.
