This study aimed to isolate and characterize antibacterial metabolites from Pharbitis nil seeds and investigate their antibacterial activity against various plant pathogenic bacteria. The methanol extract of P. nil seeds showed the strongest activity against Xanthomonas arboricola pv. pruni (Xap) with a minimum inhibition concentration (MIC) value of $250{\mu}g/ml$. Among the three solvent layers obtained from the methanol extract of P. nil seeds, only the butanol layer displayed the activity with an MIC value of $125{\mu}g/ml$ against Xap. An antibacterial fraction was obtained from P. nil seeds by repeated column chromatography and identified as pharbitin, a crude resin glycoside, by instrumental analysis. The antibacterial activity of pharbitin was tested in vitro against 14 phytopathogenic bacteria, and it was found to inhibit Ralstonia solanacearum and four Xanthomonas species. The minimum inhibitory concentration values against the five bacteria were $125-500{\mu}g/ml$ for the n-butanol layer and $31.25-125{\mu}g/ml$ for pharbitin. In a detached peach leaf assay, it effectively suppressed the development of bacterial leaf spot, with a control value of 87.5% at $500{\mu}g/ml$. In addition, pharbitin strongly reduced the development of bacterial wilt on tomato seedlings by 97.4% at $250{\mu}g/ml$, 7 days after inoculation. These findings suggest that the crude extract of P. nil seeds can be used as an alternative biopesticide for the control of plant diseases caused by R. solanacearum and Xanthomonas spp. This is the first report on the antibacterial activity of pharbitin against phytopathogenic bacteria.

This study was conducted to verify the potential of Allium hookeri to control glucose metabolism in a diabetes model. We fed the experimental diets (AL, AR, Dex) supplemented with the powder of leaf, root, or dextrin as a positive control, respectively at 3% of diet to the diabetic mice (C57BLKS/J, db/db) for 8 weeks. Control mice were fed with the diet supplemented with cornstarch (Cont) at 3% level of diet. At 8th week of feeding the diets, we measured body weight, blood glucose, HbA1c, and plasma insulin levels and conducted an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and staining insulin immunoreactive cells in islets of pancreas. AL group treated with the leaf of A. hookeri showed significantly lower blood glucose and HbA1c levels, higher plasma insulin levels, and increased density of insulin immunoreactive cells compared with the Cont group. During the OGTT, AL group showed lower blood glucose levels than the Cont group for 120 min. Based on these results, leaf of A. hookeri is considered to be effective in improving glucose tolerance by partially affecting insulin secretion and it may be used to prevent and treat diabetic disease.

배추의 조직감 측정 방법을 확립하기 위하여 4종류의 탐침을 사용하여 '노랑봄' 배추의 엽서별 중륵의 경도를 비교 측정하였다. 이중에서 volodkevich bite jaws 탐침으로부터 엽서와 경도의 상관이 가장 높은 유의성이 나타났다($r^2=0.85$). 배추 중륵의 조직감은 단위두께당 조직파쇄에 소요되는 힘으로 나타냈다. 배추의 작형과 생태형을 고려하여 16 품종의 엽서별 중륵 부위의 경도를 측정하였다. 중륵의 두께 분포는 외엽부 수개의 잎에서 증가하다가 내엽으로 갈수록 감소하였으며, 중륵의 평균두께는 'CR-싱싱'이 7.74mm로 가장 얇고, '노랑여름' 배추는 9.28mm로 가장 두꺼웠다. 잎두께의 변이는 '치힐리'가 23.6%로 가장 높았으며, '불암' 배추는 5.8%로 가장 적었다. 중륵의 조직감은 모든 품종에서 외엽에서 일시적으로 감소하다가 내엽으로 갈수록 증가하는 2차 함수적인 관계를 보였고, 결정계수는 16품종 중 13품종에서 0.75 이상이었다. 'CR-그린'은 0.23으로 가장 낮았고, '치힐리' 배추는 0.96으로 적합성이 가장 높았다. 수확한 배추의 조직감을 신속하게 평가하기 위하여는 제10번 또는 제11번 잎의 중륵의 경도를 측정하는 방법을 제시하였으며, 16품종의 평균결정계수는 0.81이었다. 중륵의 건물중과 경도는 정의 상관($r=0.70^{**}$)을 보였고, 세포벽 함량과 경도와의 상관은 다소 낮았지만 유의성이 있었다($r=0.58^*$). 본 연구에서 얻어진 배추의 조직감 측정기술은 원료배추와 김치의 조직감의 관계를 구명하거나 조직감이 우수한 배추품종을 육성하는 데 활용할 수 있다고 사료되었다.

본 연구에서는 농법별 주요 엽채류의 생산단계에서 부터 수확된 농산물의 모의유통과 세척단계까지 동일 개체를 대상으로 미생물상의 변화를 비교하여 단계별 미생물적 안전성 관리방안을 수립하고 개선방안을 도출하고자 수행하였다. 생산 및 유통중 위생지표균 및 식중독 균의 검출량을 조사한 결과 호기성 세균을 제외한 조사대상 미생물은 발병량 이하로 안전한 수준이었다. 생산단계에서 검출되지 않거나 낮은 수준이었던 위생지표균 및 식중독균의 검출량은 엽채류의 종류, 재배방법에 관계없이 생산단계보다 모의유통 중 증가하였으나, 세척단계에서 다시 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 생산과정에서 검출되지 않았던 미생물이 모의유통중 검출된 것은 수확후 처리과정 중 교차오염으로 예상되며, 생산단계에서 낮은 수준으로 검출되었던 미생물의 증가는 유통과정 중 증식한 결과로 판단된다. 따라서 유통단계에서는 저온유통시스템의 확대 적용과 운반도구 등에 대한 위생관리 수준을 향상시키기 위한 노력이 필요하다.

본 연구는 들깻잎과 들깻잎 생산환경을 대상으로 31개의 시료를 채취하여 S. aureus 를 분리 하였다. 분리된 S. aureus 31주의 toxicity를 평가하고자 독소유전자와 항생제 내성을 검색하였다. 그 결과 분리된 균주에서 4개의 서로 다른 독소유전자 패턴은 확인하였으며 sea와 sed유전자를 동시에 보유하는 균주는 4균주 (12.9%)였고, sed 유전자를 보유하는 균주는 9균주 (29.0%)였으며 see 유전자를 보유하는 균주는 1균주 (3.2%)였다. 한편 seb와 sec 유전자를 보유하는 균주는 없었다. 항생제 내성평가결과, 12제의 항생제(penicillin, ampicillin, oxacillin, amoxicillin-clavulanic acid, cefazolin, cephalothin, imipenem, gentamicin, tetracycline, ofloxacin, norfloxacin, and erythromycin)에 내성을 보인 균주는 7균주 (22.6%)였다. 또한 분리된 균주의 2균주 (2.6%)는 5제의 항생제(penicillin, ampicillin, amoxicillin-clavulanic acid, gentamycin, and telithromycin)에 내성을 보였고 MRSA (Methicilline Resistant Staphylococcus aureus)는 포장지, 장갑, 들깻잎에서 발견되었다. 따라서 본 연구결과는 들깻잎에 오염된 S. aureus에 의하여 독소형 식중독이 발생할 가능성을 시사하며 들깻잎과 생산 환경에서 항생제 저항성 S. aureus가 검출되어 의약계뿐만 아니라 농업현장에서도 항생제내성균주 출현을 예방하는 대책이 요구된다.

This study was conducted to verify the potential of Allium hookeri to control blood glucose metabolism in diabetes model. We fed the experimental diets(ALE, ARE) supplemented with the extract of Allium hookeri leaf or root at 1% of diet to the diabetic mice (C57BLKS/J, db/db) for 8 weeks. Hetero and control mice were fed the control diet without any extract of Allium hookeri leaf or root. At 8th week of feeding the diets, we measured body weight, blood glucose, HbA1c, and plasma insulin levels and conducted an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and staining insulin immunoreactive cells in islets of pancreas. ARE group treated with the root of A. hookeri showed significantly lower blood glucose levels than the Cont group at 120 min in the OGTT. However, HbA1c level was significantly reduced in both ALE and ARE groups, and higher serum insulin levels and increased density of insulin immunoreactive cells compared with the Cont group were found in these 2 groups. Based on these results, A. hookeri is considered to be effective in improving glucose tolerance by partially affecting insulin secretion and it may be used to prevent and treat diabetic disease.

This study was carried out to research microorganisms having the antifungal activity against ginseng Alternaria blight pathogen Alternaria panax and ginseng anthracnose pathogen Colletotrichum gloeosporioides. Eleven Bacillus strains. were isolated from Korean traditional soybean paste and Kimchi. Among the 11 isolates, DJ5, KC1, KC2 and KC4 showing antagonistic activity on the mycelial growth of A. panax and C. gloeosporioides in pairing culture were finally selected as the antagonistic microorganisms. Based on 16s rRNA sequence and phylogenetic tree analysis, they were identified as Bacillus spp.. The selected microorganisms were investigated antagonistic activity by measured leaf-segment colonization in pot test. When Bacillus sp. were injected after A. panax treatment, KC1, KC2 and KC4 showed similar effect to chemical pesticides treated control. To measure preventive effect of Bacillus sp, antagonistic microorganisms were injected and C. gloeosporioides was treated in pot. When measuring the effectiveness for the prevention of Anthracnose, All Bacillus spp. showed approximately 83~90 % degree of superior preventive effect. In general, The four Bacillus spp. isolated from Korean traditional fermented foods showed therapeutic effect of Alternaria blight and preventive effect of Anthracnose.

Chinese cabbage is a vegetable of Cruciferous family. It was usually consumed as Kimchi. It was known to have amount of vitamin c. Recently the trend for the development of functional food combined with oriental herbs. For this aim the study was performed to evaluate the hepatoprotective effect via antioxidant activity of leaf and root of Sanchon Chinese cabbage(Brassica campetris L.) comparatively. The methanol extracts of Chinese cabbage were tested for investigating the effects on the formation of lipid peroxide and the activities of free radical generating enzyme in vitro in bromobenzene-treated rats. The methanol extracts of chinese cabbage reduced bromobenzene-induced hepatic lipid peroxidation and inhibited the activity of xanthine oxidase. The methanol extracts of chinese cabbage did not activate amionopyrine N-demethylase, aniline hydroxylase and glutathione S-transferase. Epoxide hydrolase activity was decreased by bromobenzene, which was restored by pretreatment of the methanol extracts of chinese cabbage. The results suggest that the methanol extracts of Chinese cabbage is reduced by enhancing the activity of epoxide hydrolase.
