In fermentation of dairy products, bifidobacteria is used in conjunction with other lactic acid bacteria, such as L. acidophilus, L. bulgaricus and S. thermophilus, rendering the enumeration of bifidobacteria difficult. In order to develop optimum conditions for selective enumeration of bifidobacteria, we examined MIC of several antibiotics against various bifidobacteria and other lactic acid bacteria. The growth of L. acidophilus, L. bulgaricus and S. thermophilus were inhibited by lithium chloride at the concentration of less than 4 mg/ml, whereas growth inhibition of bifidobacteria occurred at concentrations over 6-10 mg/ml. Tetracycline and chloramphenicol were also found to selectively inhibit growth of other lactic acid bacteria at the concentration of 1-3 $\mu$g/ml. Addition of 6 mg/ml lithium chloride, 1 $\mu$g/ml, tetracycline or 3 $\mu$g/ml chloramphenicol to medium was found to be optimal for selective enumeration of bifidobacteria. By using these three inhibitory chemicals in the TPY medium, higher number of bifidobacteria were selectively isolated than with NPNL agar and LP agar.

Prebiotics are defined as "Nondigestible food ingredients that beneficially affect the host by selectively stimulating the growth and activity of bacteria in the intestine" and as defined improve host health. This study was carried out to investigate the effects of bifidobacteria (Bifidobacterium lactis BB12 and Bifidobacterium longum BB536) growth enhancer (BE0623) supplement as a prebiotic. The addition of BE0623, a growth promoting material for bifidobacteria, significantly increased bifidobacteria viable cells counts in fermented milk by about 45 to 75 times compared to the non-added control group. In addition, microscopic observation showed a significant effect on proliferation of bifidobacteria in fermented milk with added BE0623. The viable cell counts in bifidobacteria also increased roughly 102-fold compared to the control group (non-added BE0623) and was higher than that of commercial growth promoters. Each fraction obtained though the purification of BE0623 influenced the increase of bifidobacteria growth. Culturing bifidobacteria with a combination of fractions of BE0623 had a synergistic effect compared to culturing bifidobacteria with each fraction individually. When any of the fractions were not added, the effect of the growth enhancer on bifidobacteria was reduced. These results indicate that all fractions contain substances that promote the growth of bifidobacteria. Therefore, BE0623 is considered to be available as a growth promoting material for bifidobacterium.

This study was conducted to find out the effect of fermented milk on lowering of serum and liver cholesterol in high diet. Sprague-Dawley male rats of 200g initial average weight were assigned to four experimental group : (1) high fat diet + milk (2) high fat diet + bifidobacteria (3) high fat diet + microcapsulated bifidobacteria (4) high fat diet + fermented milk by bifidobacteria. Milk, bifidobacteria, microcapsulated bifidobacteria and fermented milk by bifidobacteria were given 2ml per day. According to the result, there was lowering effect of serum and liver total cholesterol in fermented milk feeding group, Serum LDL-cholesterol was also low tendency in fermented milk by bifidobacteria feeding group. Accordingly, it was confirmed that the material that caused hypocholesteremic effect was not the bifidobacteria itself in fermented milk but the metabolic material produced in the fermentation, and it inhibited cholesterol synthesis in liver.

The diffusion effect of simulated gastric juices into the various alginate vessel containing each biopolymer such as 0.3% soluble starch, whey, corn starch, agar, locust bean gum, guar gum, gum arabic, pectin, gelatin and 0.15% xanthan gum was tested by measuring the change of pH in the vessel. The degree of viability of bifidobacteria entrapped in each bead containing biopolymers was corresponded with the degree of diffusion inhibition of hydrogen into the each vessel. Therefore, The determination of diffusion inhibition of simulated gastric juices into the various vessel by measuring the change of pH in the vessel may be effectively used as the simple method to select the optimal entrapment lattice for the improvement of bifidobacteria viability. Bifidobacteria entrapped in alginate bead containing 0.15% xanthan gum whose lattice showed the lowest hydrogen diffusion were more significantly tolerant against bile salts and hydrogen peroxide than untrapped bifidobacteria. It was also observed that the viability of bifidobacteria entrapped in bead was nto nearly changed in milk adjusted pH 4.5 with organic adids at $4^{\circ}C$ for 10 days. Therefore, use of alginate containing 0.15% xanthan gum as a cell matrix for entrapping bifidobacteria was expected to improve the viability of bididobacteria in fermented milk products and develop the high value-added products.

본 연구는 포집된 bifidobacteria의 위산과 담즙산에 대한 bifidobacteria의 생존율을 증가시키는 것을 목적으로 하였다. Bifidobacteria의 포집을 위한 alginate 선별 실험은 유사위액에 3시간 반응 후 생존율을 측정하여 결정하였다. 2.5%의 Jiwon Co.의 alginate로 포집한 비드에서의 생존율이 Sigma Co.의 alginate로 포집한 비드나 2.0%, 3.0%, 3.5%, 4.0%의 농도에 비해 우수하게 나타났다. Bifidobacteria의 생존율을 향상시키기 위해 2.5% alginate와 함께 보호 효과를 가져올 수 있는 11종의 식품 첨가물질을 가지고 실험을 하였다. 이 실험에서는 erythritol-alginate 비드가 다른 첨가물질들 보다 높은 생존율을 보였다. 또한 erythritol의 최적농도 결정을 위한 실험으로 유사위액에 3시간 반응 후 생존율을 측정한 결과 erythritol의 농도는 1.0%일 때 56%로 가장 우수하게 나타났다. 2.5% alginate 와 1.0% erythritol의 농도로 결정지어진 비드의 크기에 따른 영향 실험에서는 2.0 mm 비드가 다른 크기의 비드보다 bifidobacteria의 생존율이 가장 높았다. Erythritol-alginate 비드는 포집하지 않은 bifidobacteria나 alginate만으로 포집한 bifidobacteria보다 유사위액이나 담즙액에서의 생존율이 높았다. 이러한 비드의 저장성은 5% skimmilk 수용액 상에서 10주간 저온저장을 하였을 경우에 $10^{7}$ 이상의 균수를 유지시킬 수 있었다. 결과적으로 erytritol-alginate비드는 bifidobacteria의 생존율과 저장 안정성에 있어서 다른 첨가물을 이용한 세포 포집의 경우에서보다 이용가치가 높다고 할 수 있다.

This study was carried out to compare the efficacy and selectivity of TOS and BS media for enumeration of bifidobacteria in commercial fermented milk products. First, bifidobacteria was isolated from 20 fermented milk products, and all isolated bifidobacteria were identified by genomic technology as Bifidobacterium lactis. The two media significantly differed from each other with regard to the recovery of B. lactis, that is, the recovery of this organism was as much as 6 logs lower on BS medium than on TOS. When the concentration of BS solution (mixture of paromomycin sulfate, neomycin, sodium propionate, and lithium chloride) used in BS medium was reduced to 50% (BS50), a relatively high percentage recovery of bifidobacteria from pure cultures was achieved. Susceptibility tests to antibiotics and tests for selective agents for the isolated bifidobacteria and lactic acid bacteria were conducted. The BS solution inhibited some lactic acid bacteria and Bifidobacterium species, while mupirocin (MU) suppressed the growth of all tested lactic acid bacteria but not Bifidobacterium. As compared with BS50 medium, TOS with or without MU showed good bifidobacteria recovery and readily distinguishable colonies; in particular, TOS supplemented with MU had a high selectivity for bifidobacteria. In conclusion, all results suggested that TOS medium with or without MU was found to be suitable for selective enumeration of bifidobacteria from mixed cultures in fermented milk, and better in that capacity than BS medium.

Phage utilizing medium and BL agar supplemented with antibiotic Tc(tetracycline) were developed as selective media for the isolation and counting of bifidobacteria in dairy products. The former was based on the host specificity of phage. When bifidobacteria and Lactobacillus casei HY 2782 were mixed together in dairy product, L. casei HY 2782 was laysed by J1 phage which has host specificity to L. casei HY 2782 whereas bifidobacteria grew well on the selective medium added wIth J1 phage. The latter was found to inhibit the growth of S. salivarius subsp. thermophilus, L. acidophilus, and L. casei, but commercial bifidobacteria grew well in Tc-containing BL agar.

Bifidobacteria를 다양한 유산균이 함께 공존하는 발효식품에 첨가시 이들을 분리할 수 있는 선택배지를 제조하기 위해 다양한 항생제의 생육저해 효과를 조사하였다. Gentamycin과 ripampicin은 $100\;{\mu}g/mL$의 농도에서 일반 유산균의 생육을 심하게 억제하였으나, bifidobacteria의 생육은 억제하지 않았다. ampicillin은 $50\;{\mu}g/mL$의 농도에서 일반 유산균은 거의 생육하지 못하였으나, bifidobacteria의 생육도 억제되었다. fosfomycin은 $100\;{\mu}g/mL$이상의 농도에서 일반 유산균보다 bifidobacteria의 생육이 더 억제되었다. Neomycin $80\;{\mu}g/mL$, gentamycin $50\;{\mu}g/mL$, ripampicin $50\;{\mu}g/mL$, nalidixic acid $15\;{\mu}g/mL$, $LiCl_2$ $3\;{\mu}g/mL$의 항생제가 함유된 MRS배지를 이용하였을 때 김치나 치즈에 존재하는 다양한 유산균의 생육을 억제시키지만 bifidobacteria의 생육을 억제시키지 않아 이를 선택적으로 분리할 수 있었다.
