  • 대한제당(주) 중앙연구소에서 기능성 감미료로서 개발한 자일로올리고당이 장내세균의 생장에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위하여 in vitro실험을 하였다. 탄소원 이용능을 알아보기 위하여 당이용능검색배지인 m-PYF medium에 탄소원으로서 자일로올리고당과 시판중인 올리고당인 이소말토올리고당과 프럭토올리고당, sucrose를 각각 0.5%(w/v) 첨가한 후 여러 장내 세균을 각각 배양하였다. 장내유익균인 Bifidobacterium bifidum, Bifidobacterium infantis, Bifidobacterium longum, Lactobacillus casei 및 Lactobacillus acidophilus는 다른 탄소원보다 자일로올리고당이 첨가된 배지에서 훨씬 더 잘 생장하였으나, Clostridium perfringens, Bacteroides fragilis, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus와 Salmonella typhumurium 등 장내 유해균은 생장이 저해되었다 또한, 이들 세균을 혼합배양한 경우에도 장내 유익균의 생균수는 증가하였고, 유해균은 상대적으로 낮은 농도로 억제되었다. 충치를 유발하는 원인 균주인 Strepto-coccus mutans를 자일로올리고당이 첨가된 m-PYF medium에서 배양하였을 때 배양액의 pH가 5.0이상으로 유지되었다. 이러한 결과들을 볼 때 자일로올리고당은 인체의 장내 유익균에만 선택적으로 작용하여 생장을 증진시킬 뿐 아니라, S. mutans의 생장시 산 생성을 억제함으로써 충치 발생을 예방할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

  • 본 연구에서는 유아용 생균제 개발을 위하여 1세 미만의 한국인 유아로부터 Bifidobacterium균을 분리 및 동정하여 생균제 특성이 우수한 균주를 선발하고자 하였다. 20명의 충북지역 유아 분변으로부터 선택배지를 이용한 plate법, 그람염색법을 이용하여 42종의 Bifidobacterium균을 분리하였고, F6PPK test, MIDI 및 PCR 방법을 통해 최종 7종의 Bifidobacterium균을 동정하였다. 동정된 7종의 Bifidobacterium균의 내산성 및 내담즙성 실험을 통하여 높은 효능을 나타내는 B. psedocatenulatum PBH-29와 B. bifidum PBH-30을 선발하였다. 그리고 병원성균 성장억제 실험에서 B. bifidum PBH-30이 Sal. typhimurium과 Staph. aureus에 대하여 B. psedocatenulatum PBH-29보다 효과적인 저해를 유도하였고, 10% skim milk에서도 48시간 동안 배양한 결과, B. bifidum PBH-30이 B. psedocatenulatum PBH-29보다 좀 더 높은 성장능을 나타냈다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 최종적으로 B. bifidum PBH-30을 유아용 생균제 개발을 위한 균주로 선발하였다.

  • 브로일러에서 항균성장촉진을 위한 프리바이오틱스로서 이눌린의 활용가능성이 제시되었지만, 맹장에서 비피더스균의 활성효과를 개선할 필요가 있다. 이눌린은 공기 중 유통에 의한 변성 및 소화관 상부에서 맹장으로의 이동 시 낮은 통과율과 관련한 몇 가지 문제점이 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해서 미세캡슐화, 이눌로프리바이오틱스가 브로일러의 맹장에서 비피도박테리아 균총을 증식시키고 살모넬라균의 집락을 낮출 수 있을 것이라는 가설을 세웠다. 국산 돼지감자로부터 추출한 이눌린을 미생물 배양한 후 대조구와 비교하였을 때, B. longum, B. bifidum, L. acidophilus, L. casei 균주의 성장률은 이눌린 첨가구가 높았으나, S. aureus, Cl. perfringens 균주의 증식은 처리구 간 차이가 없었다. 브로일러는 이눌로프리바이오틱스를 함유하지 않은 대조구 사료, 이눌로프리바이오틱스 0.5%, 이눌로프리바이오틱스 0.7%, 이눌로프리바이오틱스 1.0% 혼합사료를 섭취하였다. 이눌로프리바이오틱스를 섭취한 브로일러의 맹장에서 유익한 Bifidobacterium species는 대조구에 비해서 유의적으로 높았고, 유해한 미생물로 알려진 E. coli 와 Salmonella는 감소하였으나, 이눌로프리바이오틱스 처리구 사이에 있어서 Bifidobacterium species, E. coli 와 Salmonella 균수의 유의차는 없었다. 혈청 면역물질 IgG 함량은 이눌로프리바이오틱스 처리구가 대조구에 비해서 유의적으로 증가하였으나, 흉선지수는 이눌로프리바이오틱스 0.5% 첨가구를 제외한 이눌로프리바이오틱스 0.7%, 1.0% 처리구에서 유의적으로 증가하였다. 본 연구 결과는 돼지감자로부터 추출한 DP 26을 지닌 이눌린을 함유하는 이눌로프리바이오틱스를 브로일러 사료에 첨가, 급여하였을 때, 맹장에서 비피도 박테리아의 선택적인 증식 및 면역능력을 강화해 줌으로서, 유기축산을 위한 사료첨가용 항균성장촉진제로서 활용가능성을 시사해 준다.

  • A number of bifidobacterial species of human origin were screened for the presence of cryptic plasmids. One strain, Bifidobacterium longum FI10564, harbored plasmids of approximately 2.2 kb, 3.6 kb, and 4.9 kb in size. The smallest plasmid, pFI2576(2,197 bp), was studied in detail and its complete nucleotide sequence was determined. Computer-assisted analysis of this novel plasmid(G+C content 62%) identified 9 putative open reading frames(orfs), 3 of which were shown to be probable genes. These putative genes are arranged in an operon-like structure, in which the overlapping orfs 1 and 2 encode putative Rep proteins and are highly homologous to the rep genes of the B. longum plasmid pMBI(1,847 bp). The mechanism of replication of pFI2576 was investigated using Southern blot analysis of whole cell lysates, with and without S1 nuclease treatment, and atomic force microscopy(AFM). The results indicate that pFI2576 is likely to use the theta mode of replication.

  • Methanol extracts of 27 Brazilian plant samples and 10 oriental medicinal plant samples (27 families), using spectrophotometric and paper disc agar diffusion methods under anaerobic conditions, were tested in vitro for their growth-inhibiting activities against Bifidobacterium longum, Bifidobacterium bifidum, Bifidobacterium adolescentis, Clostridium perfringens, and Bacteroides fragilis. The responses varied with bacterial strains, plant species, and tissues sampled. In a test with B. longum and B. bifidum(20 mg/disc), extracts of Acanthopanax sessilifolinus stem bark and Ampelozizyphus amazonicus leaves strongly inhibited the growth of B. longum, whereas other plant samples did not inhibit any intestinal bacteria tested. At 5 mg/disc, adding extracts of Aralia eleta, Euterpe oleracea, and Syzygium guineense to the media strongly inhibited the growth of C. perfringens and B. fragilis without growth inhibition of B. adolescentis, B. longum, and B. bifidum. Extracts of Jacaranda mimosifolia and Ulmus paraifolia significantly inhibited the growth of C. perfringens and B. fragilis as well as B. adolescentis. These results may be indications of at least one of the pharmacological actions of the five Brazilian plants but not oriental medicinal plants tested.

  • A total of 28 traditional drinks derived from 23 plant species in 19 families were tested for their in vitro growth-inhibiting effects against Bifidobacterium adolescents, Bifidobacterium bifidum, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus casei, Clostridium perfringens, and Escherichia coil using a paper disc agar diffusion method under anaerobic condition. The responses varied with bacterial strain, plant species and tissue sampled. In a test with C. perfringens at 5 and 10 mg/disc, potent growth inhibition was produced from the extracts of Eucommia ulmoides stems, Pinus densiflora leaves and shoots, Thea sinensis leaves (green and oolong teas) and Zingiber officinale roots. All materials tested did not adversely affect the growth of bifidobacteria, lactobacilli, and E. coli. These results may be an indication of at least one of the pharmacological activities of these plant-derived drinks.

  • This study was performed to isolate some strains of Bifidobacterium breve from fecal materials of neonates and to screen them for the biotransformation activity of converting linoleic acid into conjugated linoleic acid (CLA). Fecal samples were collected from twenty healthy neonates between 14 and 100 days old, and four hundred colonies were randomly selected from a Bifidobacterium selective transoligosaccharide medium. A duplex polymerase chain reaction technique was developed for the rapid and accurate molecular characterization of the B. breve strains that have been reported to show the species-specific characteristic of CLA production. They are identified by 16S ribosomal DNA, fructose-6-phosphate phosphoketolase encoding genes (xfp), and rapid pulsed field gel electrophoresis. Thirty-six isolates were identified as B. breve, and just two of the 12 neonates were harboring B. breve strains. Each isolate showed different CLA-producing ability in the spectrophotometric assay. All of the positive strains from the primary spectrophotometric assay were confirmed for their CLA-producing activities using gas-chromatographic analysis, and their conversion rates were different, depending on the strain isolated in this study. Some strains of B. breve were successfully isolated and characterized based on the CLA-producing activity, and further studies are necessary to characterize the enzyme and the gene responsible for the enzyme activity.

  • Recently, the field of microbiology has been transformed by huge increasing number of publicly available whole-genome sequences. This sequence information has significantly enhanced our understanding of the physiology, genetics, and evolutionary development of bacteria. Among the gastrointestinal microorganisms, bifidobacteria represent the most important human commensals because of their contribution to maintaining a balanced gastrointestinal tract microbiota. In recent years bifidobacteria have drawn much scientific attention due to their use as live bacteria in numerous food products with various health-related claims. For this reason, these bacteria constitute a growing area of interest with respect to genomics, molecular biology, and genetics. Recent genome sequencing of a number of bifidobacterial species has allowed access to the complete genetic make-up of these bacteria. This review will focus how genomic data has allowed us to understand bifidobacterial evolution, while also revealing genetic functions that explains their presence in the particular ecological environment of the gastrointestinal tract.
