  • The ability of Bacillus subtilis, strain ALICA to produce three mycolytic enzymes (chitinase, ${\beta}$-1,3-glucanase, and protease), was carried out by the chemical standard methods. Bacillus subtilis ALICA was screened based on their antifungal activity in dual plate assay and cell-free culture filtrate (25%) against five different phytopathogenic fungi Alternaria alternata, Macrophomina sp., Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, Botrytis cinerea, and Sclerotium rolfesii. The B. subtilis ALICA detected positive for chitinase, ${\beta}$-1,3-glucanase and protease enzymes. Fungal growth inhibition by both strain ALICA and its cell-free culture filtrate ranged from 51.36% to 86.3% and 38.43% to 68.6%, respectively. Moreover, hyphal morphological changes like damage, broken, swelling, distortions abnormal morphology were observed. Genes expression of protease, ${\beta}$-1,3-glucanase, and lipopeptides (subtilosin and subtilisin) were confirmed their presence in the supernatant of strain ALICA. Our findings indicated that strain ALICA provided a broad spectrum of antifungal activities against various phytopathogenic fungi and may be a potential effective alternative to chemical fungicides.

  • A chemosensitivity assay with small replicate Mm5mt/cl C3H mammary tumor cell cultures was developed to determine whether changes in viral antigen expression and release into culture fluids could be utilized as an in vitro measure of modulating drug effect. The 52,000 MW viral envelope glycoprotein (gp52) of the mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV) was measured in culture fluids of control and drug-treated cultures while cell density was simultaneously determined by cell staining and OD 664 nm determination. While extra-cellular gp52 levels and cell density progressively increased over 72 hours for control cultures, declines in both parameters provided dual measures of effect for combination [N(phophonacetyl-L-aspartic acid)+5-fluorouracil], combination 〔N(phophonacetyl-L-aspartic acid )+5-fluoro-5'-deoxyuridine〕and single component treatment of this combination. At each treated time point, thesecombinations begin to produce a greater decline in both cell density and gp52 levels as compared to single drug treatments. These results indicate that N(phopho-nacetyl-L-aspartic acid) in combination can enhance the effectiveness of single drug.

  • The food service industry has grown larger with changes in the economic and socio-cultural environment. In this saturated food service industry, generation X and MZ are the main consumer forces that demand attention. That is because a generation is the main psychographic factor that reflects personal values and lifestyle based on one's life cycle. From such a perspective, a generation in marketing has been used as a variable to predict a market by supplementing demographic factors. Accordingly, this study classified generations into generation X and generation MZ with the use of the 2019 consumer behavior survey for food by Korea Rural Economic Institute (KREI) and then investigated the factors influencing group and personal dining-out expenses. The analysis was carried out applying the Tobit model using SPSS and R. The positively influential variables on generation X's personal dining-out expenditure were male, single person, high income and simple lifestyle, whereas housewives, personal ethical consciousness, behavioral ethical consciousness, and safe dietary life were negatively influential variables. The positively influential variables on generation MZ's personal dining-out expenditures were male, dual-income, high education level, corporate and governmental ethical consciousness, while the number of family members and safe dietary life were negatively influential variables.

  • Twenty four fractions by solvent extraction and/or acid precipitation from fruit body and culture broth of Inonotus obliquus were prepared, and their inhibitory effect against acetylcholinesterase (AChE) was investigated. Among these fractions, acid (1 M HCl) precipitates from cell-free culture broth and fruit body exhibited the highest inhibitory effect on AChE in vitro. Acid precipitates inhibited AChE activity in a concentration-dependant manner and $IC_{50}$ values of both acid precipitates were 0.53 mg/mL. The inhibition pattern was general non-competitive inhibition. The energetic parameters were also determined by dual substrate/temperature design. Both acid precipitates increased the values of Ea, ${\Delta}H,/;{\Delta}G$ and ${\Delta}H^{\ast}$ decreasing the value of ${\Delta}S$ for AChE. The results implied that the acid precipitates from I. obliquus increased the thermodynamic barrier, leading to the breakdown of ES complex and the formation of products as inhibitory mechanism.

  • For the study of glucose oxidase(GOD) and catalase(CAT) coimmobilization system, the enzymes were obtained from Penicillium spp., PS-8, and the strain itself was used as an immobilizing matrix. To separate glucose oxidase and catalase after the ammonium sulfate fractionation of the culture broth, DEAF-cellulose column was used and its activity yield was 54 and 34%, respectively. Both enzymes were immobilized on the cell matrix, followed crosslinking with 2.5% glutaraldehyde for 12hr. In the determination of efficiencies of GOD and CAT of dual, mixed and soluble enzyme systems, the dual immobilized one w-as superior to those of the soluble or mixed ones. In the comparison of pH profiles, the dual and mixed types showed broader maximum pH ranges than the soluble type. Varying CAT/GOD ratio of the dual system, the higher the ratio showed the broader activity profile. In the comparison of apparent $K_m$ of GOD only and CAT/GOD=10, they were $7.1{\times}10^{-2}$ and $5.1{\times}10^{-2}M$. Their activation energies showed 3.98kcal/mole/deg for GOD only and 2.98kcal/mole/deg for CAT/GOD=10.

  • This study was conducted to select the media for the formalin killed vaccine (FKC) production of Vibrio harveyi and its application for olive flounder, Paralichthys olivaceus. For this, we have investigated the immune effects of Vibrio harveyi FKC vaccines grown in 3 different media i.e. Tryptic Soy Broth (TSB), TSB containing 2-2'-dipyridyl (TSB-D), Brain Heart Infusion Broth (BHIB) on the production of agglutinating antibody and protection against Vibrio harveyi in olive flounder. Additionally, a dual vaccine was prepared by combining Streptococcus parauberis vaccine to V. harveyi vaccine and its efficacy was also analyzed with the determination of optimal administration dosage. Consequently, olive flounder immunized with FKC grown in TSB-D showed the same protection with the vaccine grown in BHIB and the optimal dose of the vaccine was 10mg/kg of body weight. Indeed the dual vaccine showed higher agglutination titer and protection than control fish. The optimal dose for dual vaccine was 10mg/kg body weight for each of two vaccines.

  • Two-hundred and fifty-five strains of actinomycetes isolated from soil samples were screened for their antagonistic activities against four well-known wood decay fungi (WDF), including a brown rot fungus, Gloeophyllum trabeum and three white rot fungi Donkioporia expansa, Trametes versicolor, and Schizophyllum commune. A dual culture assay using culture media supplemented with heated or unheated culture filtrates of selected bacterial strains was used for the detection of their antimicrobial activity against four WDF. It was shown that Streptomyces atratus, S. tsukiyonensis, and Streptomyces sp. greatly inhibited the mycelial growth of the WDF tested compared with the control. To evaluate the biocontrol efficacy of S. atratus, S. tsukiyonensis, and Streptomyces sp., wood blocks of Pinus densiflora inoculated with three selected Streptomyces isolates were tested for weight loss, compression strength (perpendicular or parallel to the grain), bending strength, and chemical component changes. Of these three isolates used, Streptomyces sp. exhibited higher inhibitory activity against WDF, especially G. trabeum, as observed in mechanical and chemical change analyses. Scanning electron microscopy showed that cell walls of the wood block treated with Streptomyces strains were thicker and collapsed to a lesser extent than those of the non-treated control. Taken together, our findings indicate that Streptomyces sp. exhibits the potential to be used as a biocontrol agent for wood decay brown rot fungus that causes severe damage to coniferous woods.

  • This paper examines the transition of the Hungarian men's costume. Transition of the Hungarian men's costume can be divided into pre-eighteenth century, eighteenth century, and since the nineteenth century. Hungarian costume was derived from the Magyar who settled in Hungary in the ninth century. Hungry had begun to accept Western culture in the tenth century, so when the prototype of Hungarian costume was completed, it consisted of Dolman, Mente, pants, and boots combining traditional Magyar style with Western European style. In particular, Dolman shows the uniqueness of the Hungarian men's costume; it has a high, stand-up collar in the back center, closes on the left, has a right front plate with a diagonal cut at the waist, and a wide front closure. In the eighteenth century, Hungarian men's costumes played an important role in displaying national pride while living under the oppression of the Habsburg Empire. In particular, Dolman was worn as a uniform at the battle of independence (1703~1710). This dress of male courtiers became the distinctive style of the eighteenth century and then became the basic style of men's costumes. Since the nineteenth century, Hungarian men's costumes have acted as an means to promote the national consciousness of Hungary through the Citizen Revolution (1848), the War of Independence (1849), and the formation of the Dual Empire (1867). Looking at evolution of the Hungarian men's dress style, it reveals that resistance and struggles against other nations, a history of aggression, and living under oppressed are factors that impact on important clothing transitions.

  • For the screening of biocontrol agents against red-pepper anthracnose (Colletotrichum gloeosporioides Penz) 248 isolates of bacteria, 51 of fungi and 30 of yeasts were obtained from phyllospere of medicinal plants. Of isolated microorganisms, four bacterial isolates, KB6, KB12, KB13 and KB14 were highly antagonistic to C. gloeosporioides than the others through dual culture test on potato dextrose agar (PDA). Among the four bacterial isolates, culture filtrate of the isolate KB12 showed the highest inhibition of C. gloeosporioides on PDA. The culture filtrates of four isolates controlled anthracnose on the red fruits, but not on the green fruits. In the living bacterial cell test, high control effect was observed both on the red and the green fruits. In the biochemical test, all isolates were identified as Bacillus subtilis.
