Type of dietary direct-fed microbials (DFMs) or poultry litter could directly influence the composition of gut microbiota. Gut microbiota plays an important role in shaping the developing immune system and maintaining the homeostasis of the mature immune system in mammal and chickens. The present study was carried out to investigate the interaction among litter, DFMs and immunity in broiler chickens exposed to a field-simulated environment. Immune status of broiler chickens was assessed by serum antibodies against Eimeria spp. and Clostridium spp. and intestinal cytokine mRNA expression. The current experimental design had a $3{\times}2$ factorial arrangement of treatments with three types of litter, i.e., fresh litter or used litter that was obtained from a farm with no disease outbreak (used litter) or a farm with history of a gangrenous dermatitis outbreak (GD litter), and two dietary treatments with or without DFMs. It was found that either DFM addition or type of litter significantly affected anticoccidial antibody levels of broiler chickens at d 42. In general, dietary DFMs increased the anticoccidial antibodies in the fresh-litter raised chickens, but lowered the levels in the GD-litter raised chickens. Serum antibodies against Clostridium perfringens ${\alpha}$-toxin were significantly (p<0.05) higher in chickens raised on GD litter compared with those raised on fresh litter. Cytokine mRNA expression was significantly (p<0.05) altered by either the type of litter or DFMs. Of interest, dietary DFMs lowered interferon-${\gamma}$, interleukin 1beta, and CXCLi2 cytokine mRNA expression in chickens raised on fresh litter but increased them in GD-litter raised chickens. In conclusion, dietary DFMs modulate various immune parameters of broiler chickens, but the DFM-mediated effects were dependent upon the type of litter on which chickens were raised.

The aerobic batch growth of Issatchenkia orientalis DY252 with glucose and fructose medium was investigated at 32$\^{C}$ and pH 5.0. Aerobic ethanol production was evident with yeast I, orientalis. A diauxic lag of about 1 h between growth on glucose and growth on ethanol during batch culture was observed. However, no diauxic growth occurred with fructose. As the incubation temperature was increased from 32 to 39$\^{C}$, viability at the end of each batch culture declined significantly, from 93 to 43%, Unlike the effect of temperature, viability was not greatly affected by incubation pH, and cell yield values in a range of 0.45-0.48 were obtained. In order to overcome overflow metabolism, a fedbatch culture under glucose limitation was carried out. Compared with aerobic batch culture, about 10% improvement in cell yield was achieved with a fed-batch culture in optimal conditions.

Probiotics를 개발하기 위하여 저온성 및 내염성의 특성을 갖는 균주를 김치로부터 분리하였다. 분리한 3종의 균주를 동정한 결과 MGl9는 Lactobacillus brevis, MG89는 Enterococcus faecium, MG208은 Lactobacillus plantarum으로 확인되었다. 분리된 3종의 균주에 대한 동결건조 보호제 시험을 한 결과 MGl9는 10% skim milk + l% soluble starch에서 71.4%로 생존율이 가장 높았고 lactose와 mellezitose 에서도 60% 이상의 생존율을 나타냈다. MG89는 solbitol에서 76.2%로 생존율이 가장 높았고 sucrose, xylitol, mannitol 등에서도 66% 이상의 생존율을 나타내었다. MG208은 fructose에서 64.7%의 생존율을 보였다 인공위액에서의 균 생존율을 시험한 결과 lactose, mellezitose, hlycogen, mannose, xylose 등에서70% 정도의 우수한 생존율을 보였다. 이러한 결과로부터 본시험에 사용된 동결건조 보호제 가운데 몇몇은 유산균의 종류에 따라 다르지만 동결건조제품의 제조나 사료첨가제로 제조시 산업적인 이용이 가능할 것으로 사료된다.
