Abortive infection systems (Abi) are phage resistance systems that can be prophage-encoded. Here, two genes encoding an Abi system were identified on a prophage sequence contained by the chromosome of the Levilactobacillus brevis strain UCCLBBS124. This Abi system is similar to the two-component AbiL system encoded by Lactococcus lactis biovar. diacetylactis LD10-1. The UCCLBBS124 prophage-derived Abi system (designated here as AbiL₁₂₄) was shown to exhibit specific activity against phages infecting L. brevis and L. lactis strains. Expression of the AbiL₁₂₄ system was shown to cause reduction in the efficiency of plaquing and cell lysis delay for phages of both species.

식물의 토양전염병을 유발하는 Pythium sp. 및 Rhizoctonia sp.에 대한 길항력과 생장속도를 고려한 RPI (relative performance indices) 기법을 이용하여 100 여개 후보균 중 #19, #42 등 길항균을 선정하였다. 후보균들은 일반적으로 Pythium sp.보다 Rhizoctonia sp.에 대한 길항력이 우수하였고 Bacillus sp.의 배양 상등액은 항진균활성과 blood agar에서 용혈현상을 보여 상등액으로부터 항균물질인 lipopeptide 계열물질을 분리하였다.

Recent studies have shown the importance of viruses as potential sources of plankton mortality, which affect primary production and biogeochemical functions of their hosts. Here, we report basic characteristics of a novel virus (Stephanopyxis palmeriana virus: SpalV) that causes lysis of a culture of the diatom S. palmeriana, which was isolated in Jaran Bay, Korea, in August 2008. SpalV is a round-shaped viral particle ~25-30 nm in diameter that propagates in its host's cytoplasm. In addition, it shows species-specific infectivity among the tested diatom species. The burst size and latent period are estimated to be roughly 92 infectious units $cell^{-1}$ and <80 h, respectively.

Simple and highly efficient droplet merging method is proposed, which enables two nanoliter or picoliter droplets to merge regularly in a straight microchannel. We observe that two droplets of the same size but of different viscosities are merged by velocity difference induced as they are transported with the carrier fluid. To make viscosity difference, the mass ratio of water and glycerol is varied. Two droplets of the same size or of different sizes are generated alternatingly in the cross channel by controlling flowrates. This droplet merging method can be used to mix or encapsulate one target sample with another material, so that it can be applied to cell lysis, particle synthesis, drug discovery, hydrogel-bead production, and so on.

Diatoms are a major component of the biological community, serving as the principal primary producers in the food web and sustaining oxygen levels in aquatic environments. Among marine planktonic diatoms, the cosmopolitan Skeletonema costatum is one of the most abundant and widespread species in the world's oceans. Here, we report the basic characteristics of a new diatom-infecting S. costatum virus (ScosV) isolated from Jaran Bay, Korea, in June 2008. ScosV is a polyhedral virus (45-50 nm in diameter) that propagates in the cytoplasm of host cells and causes lysis of S. costatum cultures. The infectivity of ScosV was determined to be strain- rather than species-specific, similar to other algal viruses. The burst size and latent period were roughly estimated at 90-250 infectious units/cell and <48 h, respectively.

The optimal conditions for the production and regeneration of L. helveticus protoplasts were examined. The protoplast formation of L. helveticus was most efficient obtained when the cells grown to mid and late logarithmic phase in MRS medium were used. The maximum number of protoplasts was obtained when lysozyme and mutanolysin were used to lysis the cell wall in 20mM HEPES buffer (pH 7.0) containing 1M sucrose. Regeneration was accomplished with a complex medium containing 10% sucrose, 10mM MaCl2, 20mM CaCl2, 5% gelatin and 0.5% bovine serum albumin. The regeneration frequency of the protoplasts was 10-20% after 5 days of incubation at 30C.

Direct analysis of microbes such as either gram-positive or gram-negative bacteria without cell lysis was investigated using capillary electrophoresis. Bacteria cells were directly introduced into the microbore fusedsilica capillary, then separated under high electric field in less than 15 min. It was found that a proper dispersion of bacteria cells was important for reproducible results. Migration behavior of bacteria at different storage condition was investigated and many unexpected peaks were observed from bacteria stored at room temperature due to the distortion of cells. This phenomenon was attributed to the change of size and shape of the same bacterium and confirmed by the scanning electron microscopic images.

본 연구에서는 형질전환된 N. tabacum 배양에 있어서 배양 중반 저온으로의 변환이 세포에 미치는 영향과 hGM-CSF의 생산성 변화를 관찰하였다. 배양 중반 저온으로의 변환은 DCW의 증가와 세포크기의 감소를 보였다. Ascorbic acid의 첨가는 배양초기 세포 생존율의 감소를 완화시켰으며, 배양 중반 저온으로의 변환은 약간의 세포생존율 감소를 보였다. 저온으로의 변환, 저온 배양에서의 betaine 첨가, ascorbic acid 첨가 모두 배양 후반 세포 lysis 억제에 효과가 있었다. 배양 중반 저온으로의 변환시 배지내 단백질 분해 효소의 활성을 측정한 결과, 대조구 세포에 비해 낮은 단백질 분해 효소 활성을 나타내었다. 그로인해 배양 중반 이후 단백질 분해 효소에 의한 급격한 hGM-CSF 분해를 감소시킴으로써 상대적으로 대조구 세포에 비해 높은 hGM-CSF 생산성을 유지시켰다. Ascorbic acid를 첨가한 후 배양 도중 betaine(1 mM)을 첨가하여 저온으로 온도를 변환시, hGM-CSF의 생산성 대조구 세포에 비하여 최대 2.1배 까지 높게 유지시켰다.

Lysozyme-producing microorganisms were isolated to obtain bacteria which can efficiently solubilize microbial cells. Cells of normal and chloroform-treated Escherichia coli and Micrococcus Iysodeikticus were used as model substrates to isolate lysozyme-producing microorganisms and investigate the efficiency of cell lysis. The culture supernatant of the isolate New1 (98% similarity of 16S rDNA sequence with Thermomonas haemolytica) showed different lytic characteristics for different substrates. Thermal treatment (autoclave) of substrate cells showed a significant effect on cell solubilization by culture supernatant of the New1. For autoclaved substrate cells, E. coli, M. Iysodeikticus and chloroform-treated E. coli were solubilized by 58.7%, 49.4% and 79.1%, respectively, in the culture supernatant of New1. The lytic activity of New1 was mainly caused by lysozyme produced by the isolate. It was also showed that New1 exhibited high protease activity and a little cellulase activity.

Pseudomonas carboxydovorans와 Acinetobacter sp.l에 존재하는 일산화탄소 산화효소의 세포내 분포양상을 조사 하기 위 하여 엘 산 화탄소를 이 용하여 성장한 세균을 초음파로 파괴하거나 세균의 spheroplast을 만들어 삼투 충격으로 파괴한 후 soluble fraction과 particulate fraction에서의 일산화탄소 산화효소의 환성분포를 조사허여 비교하였다. 세균을 초음파로 파괴하였을 때는 crude cell extract에 존재하면 효소환성의 대부분이 soluble fracttion에서 검출되었다. 그러나 sphe roplas를 삼투충격으로 파괴하였을 때는 효소활성 이 세포막부분에서만 나타났다. 이와 같은 결과는 이 세균들의 일산화탄소 산화효소가 세포막에 느슨하게 붙이 있음을 시사하고 있다.
