Ambient air particulate matters are classified into two distinct modes in sire distribution, namely the coarse and fine particles. Correlation between high particulate concentration and adverse effect on human populations has long been recognized. However, the toxicology of these adverse efforts has not been clarified. We investigated the genotoxic effect of PM 2.5 collected from urban area in Seoul by comet assay (A549 cells), CBMN assay (CHO-K1 cells) and EROD-microbioassay (H4IIE cells). Results from in vitro micronucleus assay and comet assay showed that PM 2.5 samples collected from traffic area, residential area and indoor air induced chromosomal damage and DNA breakage in a non-cytotoxic dose. The complex mixture effect of these PM 2.5 extracts was quantified by EROD-microbioassay in terms of its bio-TEQ (biologiral -TCDD equivalent concentration) which was 70.87$\pm$28.07, 93.55$\pm$21.80 and 14.31 $\pm$ 1.10 ng/g-PM 2.5 in traffic area, residental area and indoor air samples, respectively. Conclusively, we suggested that PM 2.5 collected from traffic area and residential area contains CYPIA inducer and genotoxic materials.

It is it well known fact that the most relevant toxic emissions such as polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs), polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs), dioxin-1ike polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are produced from incinerators. Induction of cytochrome P450IA1 catalyzed 7-ethoxyresorufin 0-deethylase (EROD) activity in mammalian cell culture (EROD-microbioassay) is a selective and sensitive parameter used for the quantification of dioxin-like compounds.

There is a limitation to estimate vitamin $B_{12}$ intake due to the lack of data on vitamin $B_{12}$ content of Korean commercial foods. In this study, vitamin $B_{12}$ content was determined in favorite Korean restaurant foods, convenient or instant foods, fast foods and bakery products through a modified microbioassay using Lactobacillus delbrueckii ATCC 7830. Bulgogi and seafood & green pepper griddle had high vitamin $B_{12}$ content, 3.50 and $2.96{\mu}g$/100 g, respectively. Pork suyook, pork griddle and pollack griddle had 0.48, 0.31 and $0.32{\mu}g$/100 g of vitamin $B_{12}$, respectively. In stew, soft-tofu stew with seafood and doenjang stew with seafood had relatively high vitamin $B_{12}$ content, 1.93 and $1.44{\mu}g$/100 g, respectively. Bibimbap and 4 different types of rice porridge, beef & mushroom, chicken & ginseng, seafood or abalone, had 0.36, 0.08, 0.09, 1.64 and $0.13{\mu}g$/100 g of vitamin $B_{12}$, respectively. One serving of haejanggguk, yookejang, chuotang and galbitang had 5.97, 2.04, 2.63 and $1.91{\mu}g$ of vitamin $B_{12}$, respectively. One serving of samgetang and sulongtang had $2.89{\mu}g$ and $6.64{\mu}g$ of vitamin $B_{12}$. In noodles, one serving of cram noodle soup, bibim-nangmyeon, and mul-nangmyeon had 18.8, 1.21 and $0.38{\mu}g$ of vitamin $B_{12}$, respectively. One regular gimbap and one triangle gimbap contained 1.09-2.53 and $0.54-1.11{\mu}g$ of vitamin $B_{12}$, respectively. One cheese-burger, chicken-burger and bulgogi-burger had 0.76, 0.62 and $0.54{\mu}g$ of vitamin $B_{12}$, respectively. A plain bagel and a waffle contained 0.13 and $0.17{\mu}g$/100 g of vitamin $B_{12}$, respectively. Ready-made tomato sauce or cream sauce for spaghetti in a retort pouch contained only a trace of vitamin $B_{12}$. In conclusion, these results should contribute to improving the present food vitamin $B_{12}$ content database, most of which were cited from foreign data, thereby it could be helpful to estimate the vitamin $B_{12}$ intake of Koreans more accurately than before. It will also provide new information for dietary education related to vitamin $B_{12}$ and health.

The variations of growth gain and the composition of free amino acid levels in plasma and erythrocytes of young rats(wistar strain male) were determined by microbioassay method, feeding diets of rice group and 7% casein group as a control for three weeks. The results were as follows; 1. The growth gain of control diet group was higher than the rice diet group. 2. The contents of free tryptophan, lysine, and threonine levels in plasma and erythrocytes on rats of 7% casein group were higher than the rice group. 3. In the 7% casein diet group and the rice group, these free amino acids were included more in erythrocytes than in plasma. 4. Therefore, generally feeding by high protein score diet was included more Try, Lys, Thr in plasma and erythrocytes than feeding by low protein score diet. So the high and low of protein score was assumed by the contents of Try, Lys, Thr in plasma and erythrocytes on rats.

The response of environmental pollutants can be detected bioanalytically focusing on the source and matrices of concern. Cell culture bioassays are rapid and inexpensive, and thus have great potential for determination of environmental pollution. We have examined the estrogenic and dioxin-like activites of industrial wastewater using E-screen assay and EROD microbioassay. Influent and effluent wastewater were collected from four different industrial wastewater treatment plants, such as cosmetics, paints, textile producing and metal coating plant, and extracted using solid-phase extraction with Oasis＠HLB plus cartridge. Pollutants adsorbed to the cartridge were eluted with MTBE. MCF-7 cells were treated with extracts showed various estrogenic potential. The textile wastewater showed strong estrogenic activity and the others showed weak estrogenic activity, No effect was observed in the wastewater from paints producing plant. All extracts showed CYPIA inducing effects, indicating these samples contain dioxin-like chemicals. Bioanalytical results of effluents compared with influents could give us information about the incomplete wastewater treatment and biological potency caused by pollutants.

Background: Antibiotic beads are used to treat local bacterial infections by delivering high drug concentrations to infected tissue. Objectives: This study examined the elution characteristics of metronidazole from metronidazole-calcium sulfate (MCa) and metronidazole-calcium-potassium sulfate (MCaK) beads over 20 days and the antibacterial efficacy of the beads after storage. Methods: The MCa and MCaK beads were prepared by mixing 250 mg of metronidazole and 10 g of calcium sulfate hemihydrate with water and a 3% potassium sulfate solution, respectively. The beads were placed in phosphate-buffered saline for the elution study. The metronidazole eluents were determined using high-performance liquid chromatography. The microstructures were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and the antimicrobial activity was evaluated by a microbioassay. Results: For the 20-day study, the total amount of metronidazole released was greater in the MCa beads than in the MCaK beads by 6.61 ± 0.48 mg (89.11% ± 3.04%) and 4.65 ± 0.36 mg (73.11% ± 4.38%), respectively. The amounts of eluted drugs from the MCa and MCaK beads were higher than the minimum inhibitory concentration at 0.5 ㎍/mL against anaerobic bacteria at both 20 days and 14 days. SEM showed that calcium crystals on the outer surface had dissolved after elution, and thinner calcium crystals were prominent in the MCaK beads. The MCa and MCaK beads exhibited antibacterial activity after setting, followed by storage at room temperature or 4℃ for 21 days. Conclusions: The MCa beads could release more drug than the MCaK beads, but all eluted metronidazole amounts were effective in controlling bacterial infections. Both metronidazole beads could be stored at ambient temperature or in a refrigerator.

노화에 따라 비타민 $B_{12}$의 흡수율이 떨어지고, 노년기의 비타민 $B_{12}$ 부족은 심혈관질환과 위암의 발생율 상승과 인지기능의 저하 등과 관련성이 있다는 보고가 있어 그 중요성이 새롭게 인식되고 있으나 국내의 식품 내 비타민 B12 분석 자료는 크게 부족하여 섭취량 계산에 많은 어려움이 있었다. 특히, 우리나라 고유 발효 식품인 장류와 김치류, 그리고 다른 나라에 비하여 많이 섭취하고 있는 해조류 등을 중심으로 일부 한국인 상용식품에서 Lactobacillus delbrueckisubsp. lactis ATCC 7830를 이용한 미생물법으로 인체가 이용할 수 있는 비타민 $B_{12}$ 함량을 분석하였고 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 1) 국산 대두를 이용하여 전통식 방법으로 제조한 된장의 비타민 $B_{12}$ 함량은 1.85 ${\mu}g/100$ g이었으나, 시중 마트에서 구입한 4종의 공장식 된장들은 $0.04{\sim}0.86{\mu}g/100$ g으로 전통식 된장이 공장식 된장보다 비타민 $B_{12}$ 함량이 훨씬 더 높았다. 청국장 역시 전통식 청국장의 비타민 $B_{12}$ 함량은 0.69 ${\mu}g/100$ g인 반면, 마트에서 구입한 2종의 공장식 청국장은 $0.06{\sim}0.15{\mu}g/100$ g을 함유하고 있었다. 그러나, 찐대두와 두부에서는 비타민 $B_{12}$가 검출되지 않아 대두가 발효되는 과정에서 미생물에 의하여 비타민 $B_{12}$가 생성됨을 알 수 있었다. 2) 전통식 고추장의 비타민 $B_{12}$ 함량은 평균 0.11 ${\mu}g/100$ g으로 전통식 된장이나 청국장보다는 낮았지만 일부 공장식 된장이나 청국장의 함유량과 비슷하였다. 3) 국간장은 0.04 ${\mu}g/100$ mL의 비타민 $B_{12}$를 함유하고 있었으나, 진간장에서는 검출되지 않았다. 4) 배추김치는 제조회사가 서로 다른 3종의 상품에서 분석한 결과 비타민 $B_{12}$ 함량은 $0.02{\sim}0.03{\mu}g/100$ g 정도의 비슷한 수준을 보였으며, 열무김치는 0.013${\mu}g/100$ g, 갓김치는 0.02 ${\mu}g/100$ g, 깍뚜기는 0.004${\mu}g/100$ g이었으나, 젓갈과 고추가루를 넣지 않은 백김치에서는 비타민 $B_{12}$가 검출되지 않았다. 따라서, 김치에 함유되어 있는 비타민 $B_{12}$는 김치를 담글 때 넣은 젓갈로부터 왔을 가능성이 높다. 김치용으로 상품화된 새우액젓과 멸치액젓은 각각 0.78${\mu}g/100$ mL와 1.52${\mu}g/100$ mL의 비타민 $B_{12}$를 함유하고 있었다. 5) 김의 비타민 $B_{12}$ 함량은 66.76${\mu}g/100$ g dry wt, 파래는 84.74 ${\mu}g/100$ g dry wt (9.41${\mu}g/100$ g wet wt)로 매우 높았으며, 다시마와 미역의 비타민 $B_{12}$ 함량은 각각 0.36${\mu}g/100$ g dry wt와 1.90${\mu}g/100$ g dry wt이었다. 6) 그 밖에, 달걀 전란의 비타민 $B_{12}$ 함량은 1.07${\mu}g/100$0 g (0.54${\mu}g$/개)이었고, 볶음용 마른멸치는 17.12${\mu}g/100$ g이었으며, 커피믹스는 0.02${\mu}g/100$ g (0.0024${\mu}g$/봉)이었으나, 라면에서는 검출되지 않았다. 본 연구에 이용된 식품들의 샘플 수가 충분하지 못하고 선정방법이 다소 객관적이지 못한 부분이 있으나, 이를 바탕으로 국내식품에서 비타민 $B_{12}$ 분석을 지속적이고 체계적으로 진행하여 하루빨리 믿을만한 식품성분표를 확보함으로써 보다 정확한 비타민 $B_{12}$ 섭취량을 계산할 수 있기를 기대한다. 덧붙여, 노인들을 비롯하여 채식위주의 식사를 하는 사람들에 있어서 비타민 $B_{12}$ 부족을 예방하기 위하여 김, 파래, 멸치와 함께 된장이나 청국장을 자주 섭취할 것을 권장한다.

가뭄은 농작물의 생산성을 저해하는 주요 원인 중 하나이며, 잎을 먹는 쌈채류의 경우 물 부족 스트레스에 더 치명적일 수 있다. 본 연구는 케일 유묘에 대한 식물생육촉진 균주(PGPB)의 가뭄 내성 효과를 알아보기 위해 수행되었다. 쌈채류의 토양 및 근권 토양으로부 터 형태학적으로 구분되는 146개의 콜로니를 분리하고 온실 생물검정을 통해 케일 생육촉진이 우수한 균주 SB19를 최종 선발하였다. SB19 균주는 케일 재배 토양으로부터 분리하였으며 16S rRNA 유전자 염기서열 분석 결과 Bacillus sp.로 확인되었다. Bacillus sp. SB19 균주를 처리한 케일에 7일 간 수분 부족 스트레스를 유도하고 7일째에 가뭄 피해 조사 후 모든 처리구에 1회 관수하였다. 이후 다시 7일 간 수분 부족 스트레스를 주어 14일째에 케일의 내건성 증진 여부를 조사하였다. 가뭄 조건 7일째에 $10^6$와 $10^7cell\;mL^{-1}$ 농도의 SB19 균주를 처리한 케일에서 무처리와 비교하여 가뭄 스트레스 경감 효과를 보였다. 7일째에 모든 처리구에 관수 후 다시 가뭄 스트레스를 주었을 때에도 $10^6$와 $10^7cell\;mL^{-1}$ 농도의 SB19 균주 처리구에서 무처리구와 비교하여 가뭄 피해 경감 효과가 있었으며, 7일째와 14일째 모두에서 $10^7cell\;mL^{-1}$ 농도의 SB19 균주 처리구에서 가뭄 피해의 완화 정도가 가장 효과적인 것으로 나타났다. $10^6cell\;mL^{-1}$ SB19 균주 처리구에서는 물 부족으로 인한 잎의 노화가 $10^7cell\;mL^{-1}$ 농도 처리구에 비해 빠르게 발생하였다. 본 연구 결과를 바탕으로 유용 미생물과 식물의 상호작용이 식물의 물 이용률을 증진시키는 중요한 역할을 하고 약한 가뭄 조건에서 쌈채류의 품질을 향상시킬 수 있는 방안이 될 수 있을 것이라고 예측한다. 즉, 미생물학적인 환경 스트레스 극복 방법으로서의 가치를 뒷받침하는 것이라 할 수 있다.
