Optimal medium for growth and glycosidases production of Bacteroides JY-6, an human intestinal bacterium, was general anaerobic medium or tryptic soy broth containing sod ium thioglycolate and ascorbic acid. By cocultivation of Staphylococcus R-48, Bacteroides JY-6 could be cultured in LB broth unable to culture JY-6. Heated Staphylococcus R-48 was also the inducer of the production of Bacteroides JY-6 glycosidases. These glycosidases were induced well by natural flavonoid glycosides, such as poncirin, naringin and rutin, but were not by synthetic substrates, p-nitrophenyl ${\beta$-D-glucopyranoside and p-nitrophenyl ${\alpha}$-L-rhanmopyranoside.

인체의 장내에 존재하는 장내 미생물은 서로 공생 또는 길항 관계를 유지하며 우리 몸의 면역 방어 기전에 중요한 요소로 작용한다. 본 연구는 항암제가 위암 환자의 장내 미생물 생태계에 미치는 영향을 조사 하였다. 항암치료를 받는 환자의 분변에서 genomic DNA를 추출하고, 16S rDNA 유전자에 대한 denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE)를 수행하였다. 분석된 균주는 개체간의 차이가 있었으나, 대부분 사람의 장내에 살고 있는 normal flora로 동정되었다. 모든 분변에 존재하는 5 개 밴드의 서열 분석 결과에 의하면 Faecalibacterium prausnitzii, Morganella morganii 및 Uncultured bacterium sp.가 나타났고, 항암제 처리 후 Sphingomonas paucimobilis, Lactobacillus gasseri, Parabacteroides distasonis 및 Enterobacter sp.가 증가하였다. 이 연구에서 probiotic으로 알려진 Bifidobacterium과 Lactobacillus를 특이적 PCR primer를 이용하여 동정한 결과, 항암제 투여로 인해 Bifidobacterium과 Lactobacillus의 개체군이 현저하게 줄어들어 diarrhea와 같은 부작용의 원인을 예상하게 하며, 장내 생태계의 주요 박테리아 집단에도 중요한 영향을 미치는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 결과는 항암제 투여와 같이 시간의 흐름에 따른 균총의 변화를 시각적으로 모니터링하기 위하여 PCR-DGGE 분석법이 유용하다는 것을 나타낸다.

Ekong-san(EKS) was expected to have inhibitory effects on angiogenesis, considering the fact that its constituents such as Ginseng Radix, Glycyrrhizae Radix and Citri Pericarpium were reported to inhibit angiogenesis. Moreover, recently several metabolites transformed by the human intestinal microflora were reported to enhance effectiveness compared to their crude drugs. Based on these data, this study was designed to confirm whether the EKS metabolites (EKS-M) can significantly exert the anti-angiogenic and anti-metastatic activites. Hence, with EKS and EKS-M, viability assay, proliferation assay, in vitro tube formation assay, gelatin zymogram assay, in vitro invasion assay were carried out. EKS showed less toxicity in ECV304 and HT1080 cells than EKS-M. EKS-M inhibited the proliferation of HT1080 cells by 30% at 200㎍/㎖ and 42% at 400 ㎍/㎖ respectively. Also, EKS-M degraded the tube network at 200㎍/㎖. EKS and EKS-M inhibited the expression of MMP-9 at 200 and 400㎍/㎖ in HT1080 cells. EKS reduced the invasive activity of HT1080 cells through matrigel coated transfilter atthe concentration of 200㎍/㎖ more effectively than EKS-M. These data suggest that EKS and EKS-M has anti-angiogenic and anti-metastatic activities.

대한제당(주) 중앙연구소에서 기능성 감미료로서 개발한 자일로올리고당이 장내세균의 생장에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위하여 in vitro실험을 하였다. 탄소원 이용능을 알아보기 위하여 당이용능검색배지인 m-PYF medium에 탄소원으로서 자일로올리고당과 시판중인 올리고당인 이소말토올리고당과 프럭토올리고당, sucrose를 각각 0.5%(w/v) 첨가한 후 여러 장내 세균을 각각 배양하였다. 장내유익균인 Bifidobacterium bifidum, Bifidobacterium infantis, Bifidobacterium longum, Lactobacillus casei 및 Lactobacillus acidophilus는 다른 탄소원보다 자일로올리고당이 첨가된 배지에서 훨씬 더 잘 생장하였으나, Clostridium perfringens, Bacteroides fragilis, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus와 Salmonella typhumurium 등 장내 유해균은 생장이 저해되었다 또한, 이들 세균을 혼합배양한 경우에도 장내 유익균의 생균수는 증가하였고, 유해균은 상대적으로 낮은 농도로 억제되었다. 충치를 유발하는 원인 균주인 Strepto-coccus mutans를 자일로올리고당이 첨가된 m-PYF medium에서 배양하였을 때 배양액의 pH가 5.0이상으로 유지되었다. 이러한 결과들을 볼 때 자일로올리고당은 인체의 장내 유익균에만 선택적으로 작용하여 생장을 증진시킬 뿐 아니라, S. mutans의 생장시 산 생성을 억제함으로써 충치 발생을 예방할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Glycyrrhizin (18$\beta$-glycyrrhetic acid $\beta$-D-glucuronyl a-D-glucuronic acid, GL), a main component of liquore extract (Glycyrrhiza glabra), is ingested orally as a component in the oriental medicine. By human intestinal bacteria, glycyrrhizin (18$\beta$-glycyrrhetinic acid $\beta$-D-glucuronyl a-D-glucuronic acid, GL) was metabolized to glycyrrhetinic acid (GA): main pathway metabolizing GL to GA by glucuronidases of Bacteroides J-37 (Kim et al., 1997) and Eubacterium sp strain GLH (Akao et al., 1987) and minor pathway metabolizing GL to GA via 18$\beta$-glycyrrhetic acid D-glucuronic acid (GAMG) by $\beta$-glucuronidase of Streptococcus LJ-22 and glucuronidases of Bacteroides J-37 / E. coli. $\beta$-Glucuronidase from Streptococcus LJ-22 hydrolyzed GL to GAMG, not GA. $\beta$-Glucuronidase of Streptococcus LJ-22 hydrolyzed $\beta$-glucuronic acid conjugates of polysaccharides rather than aglycone-$\beta$-glucuronides Optimal pH of Streptococcus LJ-22 $\beta$-glucuronidase was 5-6 and its molecular weight was 250 kDaltons. Km for GL was 0.37mM.

Effects of Dasom Valley and Bora Valley on fecal microflora, fecal moisture, and fecal pH of twelve healthy human volunteers were investigated. Numbers of Bifidobacterium, Clostridium perfringens, Escherichia coli, and Lactobacillus of control group were $9.24{\pm}0.63$, $4.44{\pm}1.21$, $7.75{\pm}0.38$, and $6.98{\pm}0.81$ (Log CFU/g wet feces), respectively. During administration of Dasom Valley, numbers of Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus were $10.70{\pm}0.44$ and $8.84{\pm}0.77$, whereas those of C. perfringens and E. coli were $2.96{\pm}1.50$ and $6.69{\pm}0.29$, respectively. Administration of Dasom Valley significantly increased growth responses of beneficial bacteria, Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus, whereas those of harmful bacteria, C. perfringens and E. coli, significantly decreased. Moisture content of feces increased and fecal pH decreased with intake of Dasom Valley. Intake of Bora Valley slightly increased numbers of Bifidbacterium and Lactobacillus and slightly decreased those of C. perfringens and E. coli. Results indicate Dasom Valley has greater intestinal-modulating effect than Bora Valley and Atlantic. Daily intake of Dasom Valley may normalize disturbed physiological functions, resulting in improvement of growth and composition of microbial community within intestinal tract.

Yogurt, which has long been consumed as a longevity food, is characterized by a large number of lactic acid bacteria. The sales of yogurt market have increased for the past three years due to research findings that the intestinal microbial environment is closely associated with many human diseases and the well-being trend of recent consumers. The recent trends in the yogurt market have focused to low sugar content, functionalities such as enhanced immunity, and yogurt for freezing. In addition, recent yogurt products tend to be labeled for certain lactic acid bacteria having functionality in their products. Many yogurts have names of specific lactic acid bacteria on their products, such as 'Activia' and 'Bifidus'. We monitored the 'Bifidus' products in the market for reflecting its regulated counting in their products required to contain more than 10 million Bifidobacteria according to the revised lactic acid bacteria-counting test of Food Code 2015.

Human breast milk is a potential source of bacteria for the development of the intestinal microbiota of infants. Several species within the genera Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium were demonstrated to shape the gut microbiota of infants. In this study, the bacterial diversity was investigated in the breast milk and feces of a mother-infant pair, and probiotic candidates were identified. Importantly, the novel L. gasseri EJL and B. breve JTL strains were isolated from breast milk and infant feces samples, respectively; their completed genome was resolved using de novo sequencing. In addition, the bacterial composition in the infant's feces at 1 week revealed the prevalence of Bifidobacterium and Streptococcus; a higher diversity was observed after 3 weeks. In particular, the abundance of Akkermansia was sharply increased at 7 weeks, further increasing thereafter, up to 15 weeks. Our results suggest that human breast milk and infant's feces are a source of probiotic candidates.

Pathogenic bacteria that colonize the human intestinal tract have evolved strategies to overcome acidic conditions when they pass through the gastrointestinal tract. Amino acid-mediated acid resistance systems are effective survival strategies in a stomach that is full of amino acid substrate. The amino acid antiporter, amino acid decarboxylase, and ClC chloride antiporter are all engaged in these systems, and each one plays a role in protecting against or adapting to the acidic environment. The ClC chloride antiporter, a member of the ClC channel family, eliminates negatively charged intracellular chloride ions to avoid inner membrane hyperpolarization as an electrical shunt of the acid resistance system. In this review, we will discuss the structure and function of the prokaryotic ClC chloride antiporter of amino acid-mediated acid resistance system.
