Lactic acid is a green chemical that can be used as a raw material for biodegradable polymer. To produce lactic acid through microbial fermentation, we previously screened a novel lactic acid bacterium. In this work, we optimized lactic acid fermentation using a newly isolated and homofermentative lactic acid bacterium. The optimum medium components were found to be glucose, yeast extract, $(NH_4)_{2}HPO_4,\;and\;MnSO_4$. The optimum pH and temperature for a batch culture of Lactobacillus sp. RKY2 was found to be 6.0 and $36^{\circ}C$, respectively. Under the optimized culture conditions, the maximum lactic acid concentration (153.9 g/L) was obtained from 200 g/L of glucose and 15 g/L of yeast extract, and maximum lactic acid productivity ($6.21\;gL^{-1}h^{-1}$) was obtained from 100 g/L of glucose and 20 g/L of yeast extract. In all cases, the lactic acid yields were found to be above 0.91 g/g. This article provides the optimized conditions for a batch culture of Lactobacillus sp. RKY2, which resulted in highest productivity of lactic acid.

In order to produce lactic acid and calcium lactate very useful for foods and medical supplies, lactic acid fermentation was studied by Lactobacillus sporogenes, a spore forming lactic acid bacterium. When this bacterium was cultured aerobically in the spore forming medium, the spore forming rate was 96.0% as total cell number 20$\times$108/ml, spore number 19.2$\times$108/ml. One minute agitating every 1 hour in the flask culture, or agitation of 100rpm in the fermenter was most efficient to continue to ferment at 45$^{\circ}C$ for 4days in the fermentation medium containing 10% glucose as carbohydrate and CaCO3 as a neutralizing agent. This homofermentative lactic acid bacterium showed fermentation yield of 99.3% and more than 98.2% of the yield was L(+)-lactic acid.

To achieve demineralization of crab shell waste by chemical and biological treatments, lactic acid and lactic acid bacterium were applied. In 5.0 and $10\%$ lactic acid, pH rapidly decreased from 6.8 to 4.2 and from 4.5 to 2.4 at day 3, respectively, and thereafter the pH remained at an almost constant level. In a $10\%$ lactic acid bacterium inoculum, pH lowered to 4.6 at day 5. Relative residual ash content rapidly decreased to 49.1 and $16.4\%$ in 5 and $10\%$ lactic acid treatments, respectively, for the initial 12 h. In 2.5, 5 and $10\%$ lactic acid bacterium inoculums, relative residual ash content rapidly decreased to 55.2, 40.9 and $44.7\%$, respectively, on the first day. Residual dry masses were 76.4, 67.8 and $46.6\%$ in 2.5, 5 and $10\%$ lactic acid treatments, respectively, for the initial 12 h. After a one-time exchange of the lactic acid solution, in the $5.0\%$ lactic acid treatment, residual dry mass rapidly decreased from 66.0 to $41.4\%$. In 2.5, 5 and $10\%$ lactic acid bacterium inoculums, residual dry masses decreased to 67.6, 57.4 and $59.6\%$ respectively, on the first day. Protein contents after demineralization ranged from $51.3{\sim}54.7\%$ in the chemical treatments and decreased to $32.3\%$ in the lactic acid fermentation process. A negative relationship was shown between pH and demineralization rate in lactic acid and lactic acid bacterium treatments. These results suggest that lactic acid fermentation can be an alternative for demineralization of crab shells, even though the rate and efficiency of the demineralization is lower than the chemical treatment.

We isolated a novel lactic acid bacterium from a Korean traditional fermented food, soybean paste. The newly isolated strain, dubbed RKY2, grew well on glucose, sucrose, galactose, and fructose, but it could not utilize xylose, starch, or glycerol. When the partially amplified 16S rDNA sequence (772 bp) of the strain RKY2 was compared with 10 reference strains, it was found to be most similar to Lactobacillus pentosus JCM $1588^T$, with 99.74% similarity. There-fore, the strain RKY2 was renamed Lactobacillus sp. RKY2, which has been deposited in the Korean Collection for Type Cultures as KCTC 10353BP. Lactobacillus sp. RKY2 was found to be a homofermentative lactic acid bacterium, because its end-product from glucose metabolism was found to be mainly lactic acid. It could produce more than 90 g/L of lactic acid from MRS medium supplemented with 100 g/L of glucose, with 5.2 g $L^-1$ $h^-1$ of productivity and 0.95 g/g of lactic acid yield.

Onion extracts were tested for effects on the growth and lactic acid production of Lactobacillus bulgaricus in the medium containing mercury. The media containing mercury were added with onion extracts and inoculated with the bacterium and then incubated at $39^{\circ}$ for four days. All of the onion extracts examined increased the growth and lactic acid production of the bacterium in the medium containing mercury. At the addition of the edible portion extract of onion to the medium containing 5 ppm, 10 ppm and 20 ppm mercury, the higher the concentration of the onion extract was added, the greater the increasing effect on the growth and lactic acid production. The brown peel extract of onion increased the growth and lactic acid production of the bacterium in the medium containing mercury at all concentrations. The higher the concentration of the extract added, the more effective the increasing effect. The onion solutions of edible portion and brown peel extracted at $90^{\circ}\;to\;100^{\circ}$ showed more desirable effects than those extracted at the room temperature. Among four kinds of the onion extracts, the brown peel solution extracted at $90^{\circ}\;to\;100^{\circ}$ was the most effective in increase of the growth and lactic acid production in the medium containing mercury.

생분해성 고분자 합성물질의 원료가 되는 젖산을 주로 생산하는 균을 김치로부터 분리하였다 SEM을 사용하여 관찰한 분리한 균의 형태는 연쇄간균이었고 165 rRNA sequencing 에 의해 계통발생학적 분석의 결과 Lactobacillus casei KH-1로 명명하였다. 1. casei KH-1는 g1ucose를 젖산으로 98%를 전환시키는 호모발효균이었으며, D(-)와 L(+)-이성질체를 각각 7%와 93%를 포함하는 racemic mixtrure로 젖산을 생산하였다. L. casei KH-1은 다른 lactobacillus속과는 달리 세포의 성장과 젖산의 생산에 기질로서 lactose를 이용하지 못하였지만 glucose의 이용은 이전의 연구들과 비교할 때 효과적이었다. Lactobacillus속의 배양에 사용되는 MRS배지의 질소원을 저렴한 원료 즉, YE와 CSL를 1:1로 첨가한 배지로 대신하여 최대의 젖산수율(1.09 mole .mole$^{-1}$)을 얻어 젖산발효에 효과적인 질소원의 대체가 이루어졌다

본 연구는 sourdough 제빵에 관여하는 우수한 효모와 젖산균을 분리, 선별하고 이들의 최적 배지 조성을 연구하였다. 1차 분리된 젖산균 115균주 중 항균성이 우수하고, 산 생성 및 향이 우수한 균주를 선별하여 동정한 결과 Leuconostoc sp.로 나타났다. 효모는 8개 균주를 1차 선별하였으며, 발효와 향이 우수한 균주를 선별하여 동정한 결과 Saccharomyces sp.로 동정되었다. 당 발효성을 실험한 결과, glucose와 sucrose에서 생육이 우수하였으나, 상업적으로 많이 사용하고 있는 sucrose가 좋을 것으로 판단되었다. 젖산균은 밀가루배지에 1% sucrose첨가만으로 생육이 우수하였으나, 효모인 경우는 증식이 더 필요하였다. 추가적으로 분리된 효모의 생육 실험을 하여 나타난 최적배지조성은 wheat flour 0.5%, peptone 0.5%, sucrose 3%로 나타났으며, 젖산균인 경우는 peptone의 첨가없이 wheat flour 0.5%, sucrose 1%로 나타났다.

Purpose: It has been reported that the diversity and abundance of microbes in the vagina decrease due to the use of antimicrobial agents, and the high recurrence rate of female vaginitis due to this suggests that a new treatment is needed. Methods: In the experiment, we detected that 10% potassium sorbate solution, 1% eucalyptus oil solution, 1% tea tree oil solution, 400 µL/10 mL grapefruit seed extract solution, 100% lactic acid, 10% acetic acid solution, and 10% lactic acid solution were prepared and used. After adjusting the pH to 4, 5, and 6 with lactic acid and acetic acid in the mixed culture medium, each bacterium was inoculated into the medium and incubated for 72 h at 35℃. Incubate and 0 h each. 24 h. 48 h. The number of bacteria was measured after 72 h. Results: In the mixed culture test between lactic acid bacteria and pathogenic microorganisms, lactic acid bacteria showed good results at pH 5-5.5. Potassium sorbate, which has varying antibacterial activity based on the pH, killed pathogenic bacteria and allowed lactic acid bacteria to survive at pH 5.5. Conclusion: The formulation ratio obtained through this study could be used for the development of a feminine cleanser that can be used as a substitute for antibacterial agents. Further, the findings of this study may be able to solve the problem of antimicrobial resistance in the future.

High activity of acidic ethylacetate extract from the culture supernatant of ginseng growth-promoting bacterium Pseudomonas fluorescens KGPP 207 and its fractions were demonstrated through wheat coleoptile bioassay. The following auxins and auxin-like compounds were identified in these fractions by combined gas chromatography-mass spectrometry: indole-3-acetic acid, indole-3-acetic acid methyl and ethyl ester, indole-3-butyric acid, indole-3-lactic acid and its methyl ester, indole-3-propionic acid, indole-3-pyruvic acid, p-hydroxyphenyl acetic acid, p-hydroxyphenyl acetic acid methyl and ethyl ester, phenyl acetic acid and its methyl ester. The bacterium KGPP 207 belongs to the strain of P. fluorescens which produces plant growth regulators and its beneficial effect on the ginseng growth may be due to the formation of the identified compounds.
