A viscous substance producer strain BS62, which was isolated from conventional Chungkookjang, was examined for its productivity of levansucrase and levan during soybean fermentation at $37{\circ}C$. After one day of cultivation, the enzyme activity reached the highest level, 8 units $ml^{-1}$. Extracts of fermented soybeans were precipitated by ethanol and hydrolyzed by either 0.1 N HCl or invertase, and the hydrolyzates were analyzed using thin layer and ion chromatographies. Fructose was the only sugar detected. This suggest that fructose was derived from the levan produced by the strain BS62 during soybean fermentation. The aerobic, endospore-forming bacterium BS62 was identified as a Bacillus subtilis sp., based on the composition of its cellular fatty acids and phylogeny, which was determined by its 16S rDNA sequence.

청국장추출물과 청국장의 주요한 플라보노이드의 하나인 genistein의 HepG2 세포에서 Trp-P-1 유도 세포독성과 DNA손상에 대한 보호효과를 평가하였다. 청국장추출물과 주요 플라보노이드성분 genistein은 Trp-P-1 유도 세포독성에 대하여 세포독성보호효과를 나타내었다. 청국장추출물은 Trp-P-1 유도 DNA single strand breaks를 억제하였다. 한편, 청국장추출물은 HepG2 세포에서 Trp-P-1 유도에 의한 CYP1A1와 CYP1A2 발현의 억제를 나타내었다. 청국장추출물과 genistein은 Trp-P-1에 의한 유도 세포독성과 DNA손상에 대하여 CYP1A1, CYP1A2 발현억제에 의하여 보호효과가 나타나는 것으로 판단된다. 한국의 전통 콩발효식품인 청국장은 게놈 불안정성(genomic instability)을 일으키는 heterocyclic amines (HCAs)과 같은 식품의 가열조리로부터 올 수 있는 발암물질에 대한 유전독성을 예방할 수 있는 유망한 기능성물질로서 활용가능성이 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Bacillus subtilis 028-1 균주는 청국장 발효에 사용하는 균주로 Staphylococcus sp. LS2 뿐만 아니라 여러 yeast 균주의 생장을 억제하는 항생물질을 생산하며, soybean meal 2%와 maltose와 같은 이당류를 1% 첨가하여 15~18시간 진탕 배양하였을 때 최대의 항생물질 생산을 보였으며 배지의 pH는 6.5 이하였다. 항생물질의 활성은 약염기성 조건에서 극대화되었으며, $100^{\circ}C$에서 20분간 가열하여도 활성은 크게 감소하지 않았고, 실온 보관 시 한 달 이상 효과가 지속되며 chymotrypsin과 papain 같은 단백질 분해효소 처리에 의해 서서히 활성이 줄어들었다. 투석에 의해 항생물질의 분자량을 측정한 결과 1,000에서 500 dalton 사이인 것으로 나타났으며 항미생물 효과는 있으나 fibrin 분해 능력이 없으므로 surfactin이 아닌 iturin 계열의 peptide성 항생물질로 보인다.

A fibrinolytic enzyme has been found in several bacteria isolated from fermented food. This study was carried out to investigate the purification and characteristics of the fibrinolytic enzyme produced by Bacillus subtilis KCK-7 originated from Chungkookjang. The fibrinolytic enzyme was purified to homogeneity from the culture supernatant using ammonium sulfate fractionation and chromatographies on DEAE-cellulose and on Sephadex G-100. The final specific activity of the purified enzyme increased 11.0-fold, and the protein amount in the purified enzyme was about 16% of that in the culture supernatant. The molecular weight of the purified enzyme was estimated to be about 45,000 by SDS-PAGE. The optimum pH and temperature for the enzyme activity were pH 7.0 and $60^{\circ}C$, respectively. The enzyme activity was relatively stable up to $60^{\circ}C$ over the pH range of 7.0-10.0. The fibrinolytic enzyme activity increased by $Ca^{2+}$ and $Cu^{2+}$, whereas it was inhibited by $Hg^{2+}$ and $Ba^{2+}$. In addition, it was severely inhibited by PMSF and DFT. It is suggested that the purified enzyme was a serine protease for the fibrinolysis. The purified enzyme could completely hydrolyze fibrin in vitro within 8 h. Hence, it is suggested that the purified enzyme can be put into practice as an effective thrombolytic agent.

체내혈액의 응고기작에 의해 생성된 단백질인 fibrin을 분해할 수 있는 효소를 분비하는 균을 청국장으로부터 분리하여 동정하였다. 청국장으로부터 protein 분해능이 있는 균주를 분리하고 분리한 균주들 중에서 혈전용해능이 가장 우수한 균주인 KCK-7를 선발하였다. 이 균주는 호기성으로 포자를 형성 하는 Gram(+)균이었으며 Gas chromatography에 의한 세포의 지방산 분석은 $C_{150}\;anteiso$형이 40.85%, $C_{150}\;iso$형이 19.47% 이었다. 이 균주는 생리, 생화학적 특성 및 세포지방산 분석을 통하여 Bacillus subtilis로 동정되었다. Bacillus subtilis KCK-7의 fibrinolytic enzyme 생성을 위한 최적 배양 온도와 pH는 각각 $37^{\circ}C$, 8.0이었다.

This study was designed to investigate the protective effect of a methanol extract of Chungkookjang (CKJ) on high glucose induced oxidative stress in LLC-$PK_1$ cells (renal tubular epithelial cells), which are susceptible to oxidative stress. Freeze dried CKJ powder was extracted with methanol, and the extract solution was concentrated, and then used in this study. To determine the protective effect of CKJ extract, oxidative stress was induced by exposing of LLC-$PK_1$ cells to high glucose (30 mM) or normal glucose (5 mM) for 24 hr. Exposure of LLC-$PK_1$ cells to high glucose for 24 hr resulted in a significant (p<0.05) decrease in cell viability, catalase, SOD and GSH-px activity and a significant (p<0.05) increase in intracellular ROS level and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) formation in comparison to the cells treated with 5 mM glucose. CKJ extract treatment decreased intracellular ROS level and TBARS formation, and increased cell viability and activities of antioxidant enzymes including catalase, SOD and GSH-px in high glucose pretreated LLC-$PK_1$ cells. These results suggest that CKJ extract may be able to protect LLC-$PK_1$ cells from high glucose-induced oxidative stress, partially through the antioxidative defense systems.

Chungkookjang (CKJ) is a fermented soybean product and one of favorite traditional foods in Korea. In this study, the alcoholic extract from Korean fermented soybean (CKJ) and its one of major flavonoids, genistein were evaluated for their protective effect against B(a)P induced cytotoxicity and DNA damage in HepG2 cells. CKJ extract and genistein decreased B(a)P-induced cell cytotoxicity. CKJ extract inhibited DNA single strand breaks evaluated by single cell gel electrophoresis. From RT-PCR study, it was revealed that CKJ extract decrease DNA damage induced in HepG2 cells expressing CYP1A1 and 1A2 by B(a)P. The metabolizing activities of CYP1A1 and CYP1A2, as measured by the 7-alkoxy resorufin O-deethylation (AROD) assay, showed that CKJ extract and genistein inhibited CYP1A1 and CYP1A2 activities. Genistein may contribute to these biological effects of CKJ extract at least in part. All these results indicate that CKJ extract and genistein may be useful for protection against B(a)P-induced cytotoxicity and DNA damage. Therefore, the alcoholic extract of Korean fermented soybean (CKJ) is suggested to be promising functional food which can prevent the cellular genotoxicity of dietary and lifestyle related carcinogens.
