진한 적색과 이상 발효 증상을 나타내는 피수박은 막대한 경제적 손실을 주고 있다. 본 연구는 피수박의 발생 원인을 밝히기 위하여 이상 발효와 내생 세균과의 연관성을 검토하였다. 수박의 내생 세균 밀도는 정상 수박의 경우 $2.2{\sim}37.0{\times}10^3$ cfu/g fw에 불과하였으나 피수박의 경우는 $1.26{\sim}1.75{\times}10^6$ cfu/g fw로 정상 수박에 비해 밀도가 매우 높았다. 피수박에서 분리한 56균주에서 17균주가 피수박을 유발하였다. 피수박과 관련이 있는 세균은 대부분이 Gram 음성으로 호기성인 Pseudomonas spp.와 혐기성 세균이었다. 따라서 피수박은 Gram 음성인 내생 세균의 증식에 의한 이상 발효가 원인이라고 추정된다.

이 연구는 3가지 유형의 식중독균인 E. coli O157:H7, S. aureus 그리고 V. parahaemolyticus의 in vitro를 통해 461 nm LED의 살균효과를 입증하였다. Bacterial cultures는 약 $15^{\circ}C$에서 10시간동안 LED에 노출되었다. 3종의 E. coli, ATCC 8739, ATCC 43894, ATCC 35150 과 3 종의 S. aureus, ATCC 43300, ATCC 19095, ATCC 27664의 bacteria cultures는 각각 461 nm LED에서 10시간 조사된 후 평균적으로 6, 2.5, 6, 2.5, 2, 1.5 log CFU/mL 감소하였다(p<0.05). 반면에 V. parahaemolyticus, ATCC 43969는 461 nm에서 4시간 노출된 후 6 log CFU/mL 감소하였다. 이 결과는 그람양성균과 그람음성균 모두 불활성화 되었으며 461 nm LED 노출에 의해 그람양성균보다 그람음성균이 더 민감함을 보여준다. 그러므로 이 결과는 LED의 사용이 식품보존과 응용기술로써 잠재력이 있음을 나타낸다.

Four dead wild racoons found in Chonnam province were examined parasitologically, pathologically and bacteriologically. Using standard flotation technique with feces many number of ancylostoma eggs which were oval in shape and $60-70{\times}35-45 {\mu}m$ in size were detected. Grossly, severe anemia, multiple congestion and consolidation of lung and catarrhal exudate in small intestine were observed. One of racoons had multifocal white to yellow nodules in the liver. Histopathologically, ancylostoma larvas were found in intestinal lumen. Some of them penetrated and attached to intestinal mucosa. Lungs revealed multiple severe fibrinopurulent pneumonia in which bacterial colonies were scattered. Liver had multiple microabscesses containing peripheral bacterial colony. By Gram stain using paraffin sections of liver and lung, bacterial colony was Gram negative. Isolated bacteria from lung and liver was Gram negative rod. This bacteria was identical with Escherichia coli by biochemical tests. From these results, ancylostomiasis caused severe problems in Korean wild racoons. This is the first report about ancylostomiasis in wild racoons in Korea.

By using autoradiography and phosphate medium, high phosphate accumulating bacteria were isolated from the soil of protected cultivation area and activated sludge. Selected strain, PO8, was gram-negative, rod/spherial(0.5~0.6$\times$1.0~1.2${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ in size) and non-motile. PI4, another selected strain, was gram-negative, rod(0.4~0.5$\times$1.5~1.6${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ in size) and motile. It also had flagella. According to their morphological, physiological and biochemical properties, the stains were identified as Acinetobacter lwoffi PO8 and Chromobacterium lividum PI4, respectively. A. lowoffi PO8 and C. lividum PI4 cultured in the P-1 medium containing 150ppm phosphate were able to uptake high phosphate up to 92% and 85%, respectively after 24 hours at 3$0^{\circ}C$ during liquid culture.

In this study, we investigated the in vitro anti-biofilm activities of plant extracts of chives (Allium tuberosum), garlic (Allium sativum), and radish (Raphanus sativus L.) against environment harmful bacteria (gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus and, gram-negative Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli O157:H7). In the paper disc assay, garlic extracts exhibited the highest anti-biofilm activity. The Minimal Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of all plant extracts was generally higher for gram-negative bacteria than it was for gram-positive bacteria. Gram-negative bacteria were more resistant to plant extracts. The tetrazolium dye (XTT) assay revealed that, each plant extract exhibited a different anti-biofilm activity at the MIC value depending on the pathogen involved. Among the plant extracts tested, garlic extracts (fresh juice and powder) effectively reduced the metabolic activity of the cells of food-poisoning bacteria in biofilms. These anti-biofilm activities were consistent with the results obtained through light microscopic observation. Though the garlic extract reduced biofilm formation for all pathogens tested, to elucidate whether this reduction was due to antimicrobial effects or anti-biofilm effects, we counted the colony forming units of pathogens in the presence of the garlic extract and a control antimicrobial drug. The garlic extract inhibited the E. coli O157:H7 biofilm effectively compared to the control antimicrobial drug ciprofloxacin; however, it did not inhibit S. aureus biofilm significantly compared to ciprofloxacin. In conclusion, garlic extracts could be used as natural food preservatives to prevent the growth of foodborne pathogens and elongater the shelf life of processed foods.

The diversity elucidation by amplified ribosomal DNA restriction analysis and 16S rDNA sequencing of 96 associative diazotrophs, isolated from the feeder roots of tea on enriched nitrogen-free semisolid media, revealed the predominance of Gram-positive over Gram-negative bacteria within the Kangra valley in Himachal Pradesh, India. The Gram-positive bacteria observed belong to two taxonomic groupings; Firmicutes, including the genera Bacillus and Paenibacillus; and Actinobacteria, represented by the genus Microbacterium. The Gram-negative bacteria included ${\alpha}$-Proteobacteria genera Brevundimonas, Rhizobium, and Mesorhizobium; ${\gamma}$-Proteobacteria genera Pseudomonas and Stenotrophomonas; and ${\beta}$-Proteobacteria genera Azospira, Burkholderia, Delftia, Herbaspirillum and Ralstonia. The low level of similarity of two isolates, with the type strains Paenibacillus xinjiangensis and Mesorhizobium albiziae, suggests the possibility of raising species novum. The bacterial strains of different phylogenetic groups exhibited distinct carbon-source utilization patterns and fatty acid methyl ester profiles. The strains differed in their nitrogenase activities with relatively high activity seen in the Gramnegative strains exhibiting the highest similarity to Azospira oryzae, Delftia lacustris and Herbaspirillum huttiense.

Antibacterial and antifungal activities of liquid culture filtrate, water and ethanol extract (solid culture) of Stereum ostrea were evaluated against 5 bacteria and 3 plant pathogenic fungi. To determine the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC), we studied $5{\sim}300\;mg/ml$ concentrations against bacteria and fungi separately. The MIC was 10 mg/ml for Bacillus subtilis and 40 mg/ml for Colletotrichum gloeosporioides and Colletotrichum miyabeanus. Liquid culture filtrate was more effective against Gram positive than Gram negative bacteria, and Staphylococcus aureus was the most inhibited (20.3 mm) bacterium. Water and ethanol extracts were effective against both Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria, and water extract was better than ethanol extract. In water and ethanol extract, inhibition zones were 23.6 and 21.0 mm (S. aureus) and 26.3 and 22.3 mm (Pseudomonas aeruginosa), respectively. For plant pathogenic fungi, the highest and lowest percent inhibition of mycelial growth (PIMG) was found 82.8 and 14.4 against C. miyabeanus and Botrytis cinerea in liquid culture filtrate, respectively. In water extract, the PIMG was found to be the highest 85.2 and lowest 41.7 for C. miyabeanus and C. gloeosporioides, respectively. The inhibitory effect of ethanol extract was better against C. miyabeanus than C. gloeosporioides and B. cinerea. Among 3 samples, water extract was the best against tested pathogenic fungi. This study offers that the extracts isolated from S. ostrea contain potential compounds which inhibit the growth of both bacteria and fungi.
