Lactic acid bacteria were isolated from piglets and chicken and characterized. Lactic acid bacteria showing resistance to low pH and bile, adhesion to intestinal epithelium cells, and the inhibition of Escherichia coli and Salmonella spp. were identified as Lactobacillus acidophilus. L. acidophilus PF01 survived for 2 h in MRS broth adjusted to pH 2. L. acidophilus CF07 was less resistant than L. acidophilus PF01 to pH 2, but survived at pH 2.5 for 2 h. Both of isolates were able to grow in MRS broth containing 0.3% (w/v) bile, with L. acidophilus CF07 being more tolerant to bile than L. acidophilus PF01. L. acidophilus PF01 and CF07 adhered specifically to the duodenal and jejunal epithelium cells of piglet, and the cecal and duodenal epithelium cells of chicken, respectively. Both of isolates did not adhere to the epithelium cells of the various animal intestines from which they were isolated. When L. acidophilus was cultured with E. coli and Salmonella spp. in MRS broth, MRS broth containing 2% skim milk powder or modified tryptic soy broth at $37^{\circ}C$, L. acidophilus PF01 and CF07 inhibited the growths of E. coli K88 and K99, and S. enteritidis and S. typhimurium, respectively. Both of isolates were found to possess the essential characteristics of probiotic lactic acid bacteria for piglet and chicken.

닭 쓸개의 생리기능적 특성을 연구하기 위하여 TLC 및 HPLC를 이용하여 쓸개내 성분을 정성 및 정량 분석을 하였고, 항균활성, 전자공여능, 아질산염 소거능 및 ACE 저해능을 비교 검토하였다. TLC 및 HPLC에 의해서 분석한 결과 닭 쓸개의 담즙산 중에는 taurochenodeoxycholic acid와 taurocholic acid로 추정되는 성분이 검출되었으며, 이들의 함량은 taurochenodeoxycholic acid 가 5,893mg/100g, taurocholic acid는 385mg/100g이었다. 이들 추출물은 Bacillus cereus에 대하여 강한 항균활성을 보였으며 Salmonella typhimurium, Staphylococcus acreus 및 Vibrio parahaemolyticus에 대해서도 항균 활성을 나타내었다. 그러나 Escherichia coli에 대해서는 항균활성을 보이지 않았다. 쓸개의 냉동 건조물 및 methanol 추출물의 전자공여능은 시료의 농도가 증가할수록 유의적으로 증가하였다. 또한 pH 1,2에서 측정한 아질산염 소거작용에 있어서도 농도가 높을수록 유의적으로 증가하였으며, methanol 추출물이 냉동 건조물 보다 높게 나타났다. Angiotensin I-converting enzyme(ACE) 저해 작용에서도 methanol 추출물과 냉동건조물 모두에서 나타났으며, 첨가량을 증가시켰을 때 methanol 추출물의 작용이 냉동건조물의 경우보다 상승폭이 큰 것으로 확인되었다. 이상의 결과로부터 닭 쓸개는 항균활성, 전자공여능 및 아질산염 소거능 그리고 ACE 저해능 등의 다양한 생리기능적 특성을 지니고 있어 기능성 식품 등의 소재로서의 활용을 기대할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

For the isolation of probiotics which may be used for the human beings and animals, we have screened the microorganisms from chicken intestines which have acid and bile tolerance and the growth inhibition of pathogenic E. coli and Salmonella typhimurium. Among them, a strain which was identified as Lactobacillus salivarius had around 66% of survival after 2h incubation in the artificial gastric juice and 9% of survival after 24h incubation in the presence of 0.3% bile salts, and showed complete inhibition against both path ogenic E. coli and Salmonella typhimurium after 24 h coincubation. Its storage stability after lyophilization could be improved by adding polyvinylpyrrolidone.

Objective: The use of probiotics as an alternative to antibiotics in animal feed has received considerable attention in recent decades. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) have remarkable functional properties promoting host health and are major microorganisms for probiotic purposes. The aim of this study was to characterize LAB strains of the chicken digestive tract and to determine their functional properties for further use as potential probiotics in poultry. Methods: A total of 2,000 colonies were isolated from the ileum and cecal contents of the chickens based on their phenotypic profiles and followed by a preliminary detection for acid and bile tolerance. The selected 200 LAB isolates with exhibited well-tolerance in acid and bile conditions were then identified by sequencing the 16S rDNA gene, followed by acid and bile tolerance, antimicrobial activity, adhesion to epithelial cells and additional characteristics on the removal of cholesterol. Then, the two probiotic strains (L. ingluviei and L. salivarious) which showed the greatest advantage in vitro testing were selected to assess their efficacy in broiler chickens. Results: It was found that 200 LAB isolates that complied with all measurement criteria belonged to five strains, including L. acidophilus (63 colonies), L. ingluviei (2 colonies), L. reuteri (58 colonies), L. salivarius (72 colonies), and L. saerimneri (5 colonies). We found that the L. ingluviei and L. salivarius can increase the population of LAB and Bifidobacterium spp. while reducing Enterobacteria spp. and Escherichia coli in the cecal content of chickens. Additionally, increased concentrations of valeric acid and short chain fatty acids were also observed. Conclusion: This study indicates that all five Lactobacillus strains isolated from gut contents of chickens are safe and possess probiotic properties, especially L. ingluviei and L. salivarius. Future studies should evaluate the potential for growth improvement in broilers.

The principal objective of this study was to screen and select acid-tolerant Lactobacillus strains from chicken feces, feeds, and other sources. Fourty six strains evidencing acid tolerance (pH 3.5) were isolated in this study. Among them, nine strains exhibited marked immunostimulatory effects. Therefore, nine candidate strains were characterized for probiotic use. In order to evaluate macrophage activation, NO production was measured using RAW 264.7 cells. In particular, three strains (FC812, FC222, and FC113) evidenced the highest levels of NO production measured at $38.39{\pm}20.01,\;35.06{\pm}27.73$, and $33.88{\pm}15.99{\mu}M$, respectively, at a concentration of $10^{8}CFU/mL$. The majority of strains, with the exception of strain FC322, evidenced marked resistance to artificial gastric juice (pH 2.5 with 1%(w/v) pepsin). Additionally, strains FC222, FC421, FC511, and FC721 were highly resistant to artificial bile acid (0.1%(w/v) oxgall), whereas strains FC113, FC322, FC422, FC621, and FC812 were the least resistant to bile. All nine strains exerted antimicrobial effects against chickenrelated pathogens. Additionally, all nine strains were found to be resistant to several antibiotics. The isolated strains, except for strain FC322, were tentatively identified as Lactobacillus salivarius, using an API 50 CHL kit. These results demonstrate that some probiotic organisms may potentially probiotic properties, and thus may serve as an effective alternative to antibiotics in animal applications.

An experiment was conducted to establish a large scale production method of anti-serum against chicken IgA and to profile the developmental changes of serum IgA levels during the feeding period(from hatching to 7 weeks of age) in broiler chicks. Blood samples were taken from Hubbard chicken at the age of hatching, 3 days of age, and weekly thereafter till to 7 weeks of age. The pure IgA was isolated from ammonium sulfate treated chicken bile juice by gel filtration chromatography ( Sepharose GL-6B) - The quantitative assay of serum IgA were carried by RID method. Developmental changes of serum IgA concentrations were 0.42 mg /mL at hatching, thereafter dicreased gradually, lowest at 1 week of age(0.17 mg /mL), and gradually increased to 7 weeks of age(2.73 mg /mL). There was no sexual difference in serum IgA level, but female chicks showed higher IgA levels than male chicks during the experimental period.

건강한 닭의 맹장에서 분리한 Lactobacillus sakei LAB 2와 LAB 8의 생균제로 이용을 알아보기 위해 기본적인 특성과 면역활성을 시험하였다. LAB 2와 LAB 8은 높은 내산성과 내담즙성을 가지고 있으며, 1차 대사산물인 유기산에 기인한 항균활성을 보였다. Salmonella 종을 병원성균으로 이용하여 최대 항균력을 나타내는 시간을 시험한 결과 48시간으로 나타났으며, 생성된 유기산 중 젖산의 생산량은 다른 Lactobacillus 균주보다 높게 조사되었다. In vitro 모델로 알아본 면역증진효과는 면역관련 세포의 증식과 사이토카인의 생산량 증가로 확인하였다. 이에 Lactobacillus sakei LAB 2와 LAB 8은 유용한 생균제로 개발할 수 있는 균으로 생각된다.

In an attempt to develop a probiotic formulation for poultry feed, a number of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) were isolated from chicken intestinal specimens and a series of in vitro experiments were performed to evaluate their efficacy as a potential probiotic candidate. A total of 650 LAB strains were isolated and screened for their antagonistic potential against each other. Among all the isolates only three isolates (TMU121, 094 and 457) demonstrated a wide spectrum of inhibition and were thus selected for detailed investigations. All three selected isolates were able to inhibit the growth of E. coli and Salmonella species, although to variable extent. The nature of the inhibitory substance produced by the isolates TMU121 and 094 appeared to be associated with bacteriocin, as their activity was completely lost after treatment with proteolytic enzymes, while pH neutralization and catalase enzyme had no effect on the residual activity. In contrast, isolate TMU457 was able to resist the effect of proteolytic enzymes while pH neutralization completely destroyed its activity. Attempts were made to study the acid, bile tolerance and cell surface hydrophobicity of these isolates. TMU121 showed high bile salt tolerance (0.3%) and high cell surface hydrophobicity compared to the other two strains studied, while TMU094 appeared the most pH resistant strain. Based on these results, the three selected LAB isolates were considered as potential ingredients for a chicken probiotic feed formulation and were identified to species level based on their carbohydrate fermentation pattern by using API 50CH test kits. The three strains were identified as Lactobacillus fermentum TMU121, Lactobacillus rhamnosus TMU094, and Pediococcus pentosaceous TMU457.
