We studied the diversity of the halophilic archaea and bacteria in crystallizer ponds of a Korean solar saltern by analyzing 16S rRNA gene libraries. Although diverse halophilic archaeal lineages were detected, the majority (56%) were affiliated with the uncultured and cultured Halorubrum group. Halophilic archaea that have been frequently observed in solar saltern environments previously, such as Halogeometricum, Halococcus, Haloarcula, and Haloferax, were not detected in our samples. The majority of clones (53%) belonged to the Cytophaga-Flavobacterium-Bacteroides and ${\alpha}-,\;{\gamma}-,\;and\;{\delta}-Proteobacteria$ groups, with 47% of the clones being affiliated with ${\gamma}-Proteobacteria$. We also identified new ${\delta}-Proteobacteria$-related bacteria that have not been observed in hypersaline environments previously. Our data show that the diversity of the halophilic archaea and bacteria in our Korean saltern differs from that of solar salterns found in other geographic locations. We also showed by quantitative real-time PCR analysis that bacteria can form a significant component of the microbial community in solar salterns.

A carotenoid pigment, which was a determinant for food quality, was extracted from a marine halophilic bacteria. The stability of the pigment extract was investigated for a food additive. The optimum temperature for stability was 20oC. The pigment degradation was significantly affected by solvent polarity, however, stable in salvent methanol and ethanol. The pigment degradation was highly sensitive to light and UV exposure.

한국 근해와 염전으로부터 40 균주의 색소 생성 호염세균을 분리하여, 16S rDNA PCR-RELP와 16S rDNA 염기서열 분석을 통하여 다양성을 파악하였다. 분리된 호염성 색소 생성 세균들은 Pseudoalteromonas, Photobacterium, Vibrio, Halobavillus, Bacillus, Paracoccus, Salinicoccus, Tenacibaculum, Flavobacterium의 다양한 속의 세균 종이었다. 해양에서 분리한 색소생성 호염 세균의 $80\%$ 이상이 그람음성인 Pseudoalteromonas 속이었으며, 염전에서 분리한 세균의 대부분은 그람양성의 Halobavillus속 세균이었다. 또한 Salinicoccus 속에 속하는 신종 가능성이 있는 균주 KK7을 분리하였다.

염장 식품인 젓갈류 15종류에서 호염성 세균을 분리하여 그들이 성장할 수 있는 NaCl 농도에 따라, 5-10% NaCl에서 잘 자라는 18균수와 10-20% NaCl 에서 더욱 잘 자라는 35균주를 구분하여, 이들을 moderate halophiles로 분류하였다. 분리한 moderate halophiles중에는 Flavobacterium-group I과 II 그러고 Pseudomonas sp.에 속하는 균주들이 있으며 이들은 3$0^{\circ}C$에서 10% NaCl을 첨가했을 때 가장 잘 성장하였다. Na 이온 대신 K 이온을 대치시켰을 때 1.5M에서는 대치가 가능하였으나 그보다 높은 농도인 2.5M 내지 3.5M에서는 대치될 수 없음을 확인하였고 Na 이온 대신 Li 이온이나 mg 이온은 생장에 적합하지 않았다.

The scientific information between microbial activities and chemical properties of reclaimed tidal soil is not enough to apply for reclamation projects. This study was conducted to investigate the relation between chemical properties and microbial activities of reclaimed tidal lands located at western coastal area (25 samples from Nampo, Ewon, Sukmoon and Shihwa sites). Most of the reclaimed soils showed chemical characteristics as salinity soil except Nampo site. The major component influenced the salinity of reclaimed soil was identified as a sodium from the relationship between EC and exchangeable cation. With an increase in EC of soil, the population of mesophilic bacteria decreases whereas halotolerant and halophilic bacteria increases. The population of mesophilic bacteria increased with an increase in both organic matter and dehydrogenase activity. However, the population of halotolerant and halophilic bacteria decreased with an increase in organic matter. Based on the relation between chemical property and microbial activity of reclaimed tidal soil, electrical conductivity and organic matter as chemical properties of soil, population of mesophilic bacteria, halotolerant and halophilic bacteria and dehydrogenase activity as microbial activities could be the major parameters for reclamation process.

Archaea are prokaryotic organisms distinct from bacteria in the structural and molecular biological sense, and these microorganisms are known to thrive mostly at extreme environments. In particular, most studies on halophilic archaea have been focused on environmental and ecological researches. However, new species of halophilic archaea are being isolated and identified from high salt-fermented foods consumed by humans, and it has been found that various types of halophilic archaea exist in food products by culture-independent molecular biological methods. In addition, even if the numbers are not quite high, DNAs of various halophilic archaea are being detected in human intestines and much interest is given to their possible roles. This review aims to summarize the types and characteristics of halophilic archaea reported to be present in foods and human intestines and to discuss their application as well.

본 연구에서는 토판염전 결정지에 서식하는 세균군집의 계통학적 다양성을 분석하고 culturomics법에 기반하여 고도 호염균의 다양성을 확보하고자 하였다. 토판염전 내 세균밀도를 조사한 결과, 직접검경법에 의한 생균수는 평판배양법에 비해 $10^3{\sim}10^4$ 배 이상 높은 계수치를 나타내어 배양이 곤란한 세균(viable but non-culturable bacteria, VBNC)이 다수 존재해 있음으로 판단되었다. 토판염전 결정지 내 세균군집 다양성 해석을 위해 배양비의존적 방법인 pyrosequencing 분자기법을 이용하였다. 세균군집의 경우 1,778 OTUs, 다양성 지수 6.16로 나타났으며, 18문46강85목140과 243속으로 확인되었다. Archaea군집은 643 OTUs, 다양성 지수 4.95로 3문6강7목7과 38속이 분포해 있음이 확인되었다. 고도 호염균 생육에 적합한 배양배지 및 배양조건을 고려한 총 59가지의 다양한 배양 방법을 이용하여 137균주를 순수 분리하였다. 분리된 고도호염균의 16S rRNA 유전자 분석결과, 총4문11속의 다양한 계통군으로 확인되었으며 호염성 archaea 계통군 Haloterrigena 속과 haloferax 속이 culturomics법을 통해 성공적으로 분리되었다. 고도 호염균 다양성 확보를 위해 culturomics법이 매우 효과적임을 밝혔다.

The scientific information on the microbial differentiation according to the changes in chemical properties of paddy soil in reclaimed tidal lands is not enough to understand the reclamation processes. The changes in microflora based on the chemical properties of paddy soils at the same sites of reclaimed tidal lands (21 samples from Nampo, Ewon, Sukmoon and Shihwa sites) were investigated in 2013 and 2015. In general, organic matter in paddy soils increased whereas pH decreased with the reclamation time. The electrical conductivities (EC) of soil samples were closely related to the exchangeable $Na^+$. With an increases in EC of paddy soils from 0.39 to $48.9dS\;m^{-1}$, the ratios (%) of halotolerant and halophilic bacteria to mesophilic bacteria proportionally increased from 0.2% to 102,000%. The population of halotolerant and halophilic bacteria in total microflora was also differentiated with the changes in EC of the same sites from reclaimed tidal soils within 2 years. The population of mesophilic bacteria decreased with an increase in EC above $5dS\;m^{-1}$. The microflora including halotolerant and halophilic bacteria could be a candidate as a biological parameter in evaluating the reclamation processes in addition to the chemical index of EC.

In salt-preserved foods of every kinds, it was examined the growth condition of halophilic bacteria that induced a change of colour, taste, nutritive substance, a production condition of enzyme and a character of crude enzyme. Used bacteria is H. halobium a kind of extremely halophilic bacteria, and the required of optimum culture needed a quite long time of crude enzyme production is 168 hours. Optimum pH is about 7-7.5, so the traditional food of such neutrality pH as soybean paste and soy sauce particularly come into trouble because the growth can flourish in neutrality or alkaliescence, and the crude enzyme also appeared that best activation between pH 6 and pH 8. The optimum temperature is about 37$^{\circ}C$, the optimum temperature of enzyme is about 40 $^{\circ}C$ and the temperature stability is settled for 15 minutes and it is completely inactivated at 10 minutes. In the influence of each metal ion, Fe++ and Mn++ a stimulated the growth of H.halobium and the activation of enzyme, Cu++ and Zn++ were identified that made the growth and the activation of enzyme inhibit.
