비단백질 구성 아미노산인 gamma amino butyric acid(GABA)는 뇌에서 억제성 신경전달물질로 작용하며 혈압 저하, 신경 안정, 이뇨 작용 등에 효과가 있는 것으로 알려져 있다. 김치로부터 두유에서 커드를 형성하는 40개 균주를 분리하였다. GABA 생산력이 높은 균주를 선별하기 위하여 분리된 균주들을 두유에 접종하여 $37^{\circ}C$에서 48시간동안 발효하였다. 분리된 균주들 가운데 발효두부에서 가장 높은 GABA 를 생산하는 383 균주는 API 분석과 16S rDNA sequence를 통하여L. sakei로 동정되었으며 L. sakei 383으로 명명하였다. L. sakei 383은 MRS 배지에서 $35^{\circ}C$, 24시간 배양할 때 가장 높은 생육을 나타내었으며 두유에 균을 접종하여 $35^{\circ}C$에서 18시간 발효 했을 때를 GABA 생산을 위한 최적 배양 조건으로 정하였으며 최대 GABA 함량은 8.65 mg/100 g이었다.

Vitamin K, which is a nutritional factor, play a role in the regulation of bone metabolism. Vitamin K exists naturally in 2 forms, namely, vitamin $K_1$ (phylloquinone) in green plants and vitamin $K_2$ (menaquinone) in animals and bacteria. Vitamin $K_1$ has an effect on bone metabolism. Vitamin $K_2$ is essential for the ${\gamma}$-carboxylation of osteocalcin, a bone matrix protein containing ${\gamma}$-carboxyglutamic acid (Gla) which is synthesized in osteoblast of bone tissues. This paper is to provide the basic information of vitamin K by supplying function and biological activity of vitamin K together with vitamin K producing lactic acid bacteria and it's utilization for the dairy products production.

In this work, we wanted to develop a probiotic from famous longevity villages in Korea. We visited eight longevity villages in Korea to collect fecal samples from healthy adults who were aged above 80 years and had regular bowel movements, and isolated lactic-acid-producing bacteria from the samples. Isolated colonies that appeared on MRS agar containing bromophenol blue were identified by means of 16S rRNA sequencing, and 102 of the isolates were identified as lactic-acid-producing bacteria (18 species). Lactobacillus fermentum was the most frequently found species. Eight isolates were selected on the basis of their ability to inhibit the growth of six intestinal pathogens (Escherichia coli O157:H7, Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica Typhimurium, Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica Enteritidis, Enterococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus aureus, and Listeria monocytogenes) and their susceptibility to 15 antimicrobial agents. Among these eight isolates, four Lactobacillus fermentum isolates were found not to produce any harmful enzymes or metabolites. Among them, Lactobacillus fermentum isolate no. 24 showed the strongest binding to intestinal epithelial cells, the highest immune-enhancing activity, anti-inflammation activity, and anti-oxidation activity as well as the highest survival rates in the presence of artificial gastric juice and bile solution. This isolate, designated Lactobacillus fermentum PL9988, has all the characteristics for a good probiotic.

박테리오신 생성 젖산균을 이용하여 과실채소 혼합발효액을 제조하고, 발효액의 이화학적 특성과 항균특성을 조사하여 항균 이온음료로서의 가능성을 고찰하였다. 박테리오신 생성 젖산균을 이용한 발효시 발효종균으로 Leu. mesenteroides와 Lc. lactis ATCC l1454를 동시 접종하였을때는박테리오신이 생성되지 않았으며, Leu mesenteroides에 의한 젖산발효 후에 pH를 조정하고 박테리오신 생성균을 접종하였을 때 적정량의 산과 항균물질이 생성되었다. 발효액의 당함량과 무기염류를 분석한 결과, 발효액에는 시판되고 있는 이온음료에 비해 Na과 P의 함량은 높은 편이나, K,Ca, Mg 등의 농도 차이는 크지 않은 것으로 나타났으며, 당함량도 약간 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 발효액은 충치 원인균인 Streptococcus mutans에 대한 안정된 항균효과를 지니고 있으며, 발효액의 색상은 저장 중에도 안정된 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 과실채소 혼합발효액의 무기질 발란스와 기호도를 고려한 당농도 조절 등의 보완이 이루어진다면 우리고유의 이온음료로 개발 가능성이 있다고 판단된다.

1,4-Dihydroxy-2-naphthoic acid (DHNA) is a bifidogenic growth stimulator (BGS) and could be a functional food ingredient since bifidobacteria are beneficial for human health. For that reason, lactic acid bacteria producing DHNA have been screened. A lactic acid bacterium LP1 strain isolated from a natural cheese was confirmed to produce DHNA, analyzed by a HPLC method. The strain was identified as Lactobacillus casei by 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. The cell-free supernatant of fermented whey produced by L. casei LP1 presented the BGS activity for three bifidobacterial strains such as Bifidobacterium longum subsp. infantis KCTC 3127, Bifidobacterium bifidum KCTC 3202, and Bifidobacterium breve KCTC 3220 which were human-originated. To the best of our knowledge, a L. casei strain which can produce DHNA was firstly identified in this study.

Yogurt is a food produced by bacterial fermentation of milk and the bacteria used to make it are known as "yogurt cultures". Most of them belong to probiotics such as Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus bacteria. Domestic fermented milk market is increasing and about 30 companies are producing yogurt. The purpose of this study was to analyze the quality characteristics of domestic commercial semisolid type yogurt. We collected 20 types of commercial yogurt at local markets. Physicochemical properties including pH, sugar content, acidity, viscosity and microbial characteristics of lactic acid bacteria counts were measured. The yogurt showed pH 4.5, 7.4~18.1% of sugar contents, 0.6~1.3% of total acids and 282~748 cP of viscosities. In the microorganism populations, lactic acid bacteria count were 6.5~11.5 Log CFU/mL and anaerobic lactic acid bacteria count were 7.2 ~ 11.1 Log CFU/mL. The quality characteristics were different depending on the constituents of the sample and the microorganisms used. These results are related to the quality characteristics of yogurts which are useful information about identifying new trends in domestic fermented milk industry.

Objective: The aim of this study was to characterize the exopolysaccharides (EPS)-producing lactic acid bacteria from Taiwanese ropy fermented milk (TRFM) for developing a clean label low-fat fermented milk. Methods: Potential isolates from TRFM were selected based on the Gram staining test and observation of turbid suspension in the culture broth. Random amplified polymorphic DNA-polymerase chain reaction, 16S rRNA gene sequencing, and API CHL 50 test were used for strain identification. After evaluation of EPS concentration, target strains were introduced to low-fat milk fermentation for 24 h. Fermentation characters were checked: pH value, acidity, viable count, syneresis, and viscosity. Sensory evaluation of fermented products was carried out by 30 volunteers, while the storage test was performed for 21 days at 4℃. Results: Two EPS-producing strains (APL15 and APL16) were isolated from TRFM and identified as Lactococcus (Lc.) lactis subsp. cremoris. Their EPS concentrations in glucose and lactose media were higher than other published strains of Lc. lactis subsp. cremoris. Low-fat fermented milk separately prepared with APL15 and APL16 reached pH 4.3 and acidity 0.8% with a viable count of 9 log colony-forming units/mL. The physical properties of both products were superior to the control yogurt, showing significant improvements in syneresis and viscosity (p<0.05). Our low-fat products had appropriate sensory scores in appearance and texture according to sensory evaluation. Although decreasing viable cells of strains during the 21-day storage test, low-fat fermented milk made by APL15 exhibited stable physicochemical properties, including pH value, acidity, syneresis and sufficient viable cells throughout the storage period. Conclusion: This study demonstrated that Lc. lactis subsp. cremoris APL15 isolated from TRFM had good fermentation abilities to produce low-fat fermented milk. These data indicate that EPS-producing lactic acid bacteria have great potential to act as natural food stabilizers for low-fat fermented milk.

To study the effect of feeding lactic acid producing bacteria on the performance of cattle calves, twenty four, day old male crossbred cattle calves (Bos indicus${\times}$Bos taurus), were distributed into two groups of 12 animals each. The animals were fed on calf starter containing wheat bran and green berseem ad libitum and milk as per requirement upto 8 weeks of age. The diet of calves of Group 2 was supplemented with 500 ml culture of Lactobacillus acidophilus-15. Total duration of the experiment was 31 weeks. There was no significant difference in intake and digestibility of dry matter (DM), organic matter (OM), neutral detergent fibre (NDF), acid detergent fibre (ADF) and crude protein (CP) between the groups. The rumen pH, protozoa numbers, concentration of volatile fatty acids (VFA), ammonia nitrogen ($NH_3-N$), trichloroacetic acid precipitable nitrogen (TCA-ppt N) and activity of microbial enzymes (carboxymethylcellulase, xylanase, amylase and protease) were not affected due to probiotic supplementation. Average live weight gain of the calves was improved (about 10%) and feed:gain ratio was reduced (about 5%) in the animals given Lactobacillus culture. The data indicated that crossbred calves could be reared on a diet devoid of cereal grain and addition of Lactobacillus culture in the diet resulted in an added advantage in growth performance of the animals.
