The Streptomyces albulus broth, when the polylysine in the broth, that has powerful growth inhibiting effect far many microbes, is its maximum, had filtered off the cells, to use the broth as preservative for keeping favorable taste of Korean Kimchi. Some microorganisms in their specific growth medium, known to deteriorate the useful nutrient of the Kimchi, has grown with different amounts of the inhibiting broth, to determine the minimum growth inhibition concentration. The ${\varepsilon}$-poly-L-lysine had been identified from the IR spectroscopic analysis of the purified poly lysine of the broth from ion exchange chromatographic separation. The content of the polylysine had been determined by methyl orange decoloration effect. Though the minimum inhibition concentration, evaluated by the naked eye based on the conventional method measuring the turbid feature after 18 hours of culture, has different values each other, the observed effects confirmed that the crude broth could be used as a natural preservative for the Kimchi in extending the fair taste.

The inhibition rate of bacteria growth per molecular weight was higher according as the molecular weight increased, the rate was the highest at the molecular weight 200,000. Microcapsule of ionized calcium was able to be produced by molecular weight 15,000, 30,000, 50,000 and 200,000 of chitosan which was dried for 48 hours after melting it in 2% of acetic acid, adding ionized calcium and controlling pH 1.2. The size of ionized calcium microcapsule was between 200 and $300\;{\mu}m$, the solvency, concentration and the content showed big difference by the molecular weight of chitosan. The inhibition rate of bacteria growth of microcapsule designated high in Gram positive, which was high in S. aureus, S. epidermidis and Bacillus subtilis, low in S. mutans, high in C. albicans in fungi, low in A. niger. The inhibition rate of bacteria growth of chitosan was comparatively high in Gram positive, low in S. mutans and it showed high numerical value in C. albicans of fungi. The rate recorded good result at molecular weight 200,000 relatively, there was no difference according to the molecular weight. The inhibition rate of bacteria growth according to the concentration of the microcapsule increased differently between $1.000{\sim}10,000\;{\mu}g/ml$, it showed antibacterial activity close to the inhibition rate of growth of chitosan rather than ionized calcium. The minimum inhibitory concentration marked the highest in the mixture of chitosan and ionized calcium for all kind of bacteria generally, there was a little difference between yeast and fungi.

Helicobacter pylori were found to be resistant to azide but sensitive to vanadate, suggesting that defect in the P-type ATPase activity rather than F-type ATPase would be lethal to cell survival or growth. To elucidate the relationship between this enzyme inhibition and H. pylori death, we determined the effect of omeprazole (OMP) plus vanadate on enzyme activity and cell growth. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC; ca. 0.8$\mu$mol/disk) of vanadate for H. pylori growth was lowered over l0-fold with the aid of OMP, whereby its inhibitory potential toward the P-type ATPase activity was diametrically increased. Alternatively, we found that this enzyme activity was essential for active transport in H. pylori. From these observations, we strongly suggest that the immediate cause of the growth inhibition of H. pylori cells with OMP and/or vanadate might be defective in the cell's active transport due to the lack of P-type ATPase activity. From the spectral data with circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy, we found that activated OMP (OAS) at concentration below MIC did not disrupt helical structures of membrane proteins. Separately, we determined the cytopathic effect of OAS by SDS-PAGE, indicating the change in the production of cytoplasmic protein but not cell membrane.

Nine hundred and ninety-two isolates of Botrytis cinerea were obtained from infected strawberries, tomatoes and cucumbers in Taejon, Gongju, Puyo, Nonsan and Kimhae in Korea. Six hundred forty-two (64.7%) isolates were benomyl resistant (BR), 245 (24.7%) were procymidone resistant (PR), and 105 (10.6%) were dichlofluanid resistant (DR). In the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) test, DR isolates showed mycelial growth on the PDA incorporated with 100 or 500 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml of dichlofluanid, while dichlofluanid sensitive (DS) isolates did not grow on the PDA incorporated even with 10 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml of dichlofluanid. Chemical concentrations for inhibition of spore germination were much lower than those for inhibition of mycelial growth. IC50 values, the effective concentrations for 50% inhibition of spore germination, for DR were 0.11~0.29 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml, whereas they were 0.04~0.09 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml for DS isolates. In comparison of fitness-related characteristics such as virulence, sclerotial formation, and sporulation, DR isolates were inferior to DS isolates. However, mycelial growth was little different between DR isolates and DS isolates.

This study analyzed the antibacterial activity of a Rubus coreanum (Bokbunja) ethanol extract. The antimicrobial activity was determined by disc diffusion, minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), and growth inhibition methods with seven kinds of bacteria related to foodborne illness (Bacillus cereus, Escherichia coli, Escherichia coli O157:H7, Listeria monocytogenes, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, and Salmonella typhimurium). In the results, disc diffusions of the ethanol extract from R. coreanum (9.8-17.5 mm at $4,000{\mu}g/disc$) clearly showed the antimicrobial activity of the extract against all tested microorganisms. Rubus coreanum promoted an inhibitory effect as follows: E. coli O157:H7 > P. aeruginosa > L. monocytogenes > E. coli > S. aureus > B. cereus ${\geq}$ S. typhimurium. In the MIC test, R. coreanum showed high antimicrobial effect against L. monocytogenes at 500 ppm. Moreover, the R. coreanum ethanol extract showed strong growth inhibition against microorganisms, similar to the MIC results. These results show that a R. coreanum ethanol extract has powerful antimicrobial activity against all tested microorganisms, suggesting that R. coreanum will be useful as a potential natural preservative.

본 연구는 천연한방 식물 추출물의 치아우식 예방제제로서 가능성을 평가하고자 구강 양치용액과 함께 S. mutans에 대한 항균활성을 측정하고, 정상인 치은섬유모세포에 대한 독성 유무를 평가하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 용매별 천연한방 추출물의 S. mutans에 대한 최소성장억제농도는 증류수보다 에탄올 추출물에서 우수한 성장억제 효과를 보였다. S. mutans에 대한 최소성장억제농도를 비교한 결과, 천연한방 에탄올 추출물은 보골지가, 구강양치액은 헥사메딘이 가장 낮은 농도에서 성장억제 효과를 보였다. S. mutans에 대한 최소살균농도를 비교한 결과, 천연한방 에탄올 추출물은 보골지가, 구강양치액은 헥사메딘과 가그린이 낮은 농도에서 사멸효과를 나타냈다. 정상인의 치은섬유모세포에 천연한방 에탄올 추출물을 최소성장억제농인 10, 39, $78{\mu}g/ml$로 처리하여 독성 유무를 측정한 결과 세포독성이 없었다. 그러나 최소살균농도 값을 토대로 각 추출물별 농도를 달리하여 처리한 결과, 보골지를 제외하고는 다른 추출물은 농도가 높아짐에 따라 세포독성이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 결과를 종합하면, 4종의 천연한방 추출물은 합성 화학물질인 구강양치액과 비교 시 유사한 항균효과가 있었다. 따라서 천연한방 추출물은 적정 농도를 첨가함으로써 치아우식 대체 예방제제로 실용화할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.
