The isolated strain, SC2-1 was Gram-positive, catalase positive, facultatively anaerobic, oxidase negative, motile and small rods. The strain utilized sucrose, dextrose, fructose, mannitol and maltose as a sole carbon and energy source and sodium chloride required for the bacteria growth. The radical scavenging activity of the culture supernatants was determined by DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) method. This bacterium was identified based on cellular fatty acids analysis and 16S rDNA sequencing then named Exiguobacterium sp. SC2-1. The optimum culture conditions for production of antioxidant were $25^{\circ}C,$ pH 7.8 and NaCl concentration were 4%. The modified optimal medium compositions were maltose 2.5% (w/v), yeast extract 1.5% (w/v) and $KH_2PO_4$ 0.05% (w/v). Free radical scavenging activity of under optimal culture conditions were 93%.

Edwardsiella (E) tarda belongs to the Enterobacteriaceae family and is a motile, gram-negative, rod-shaped, facultative anaerobe regarded as an opportunistic and food-borne pathogen in animals and humans. A 21-year-old male Eurasian brown bear (Ursus arctos arctos) died suddenly without any preliminary signs. Necropsy performed according to standard protocol revealed swollen abdomen with hemorrhagic congestions of the gastroenteric organs, ascites, and hemorrhagic exudates around the mouth. The liver showed discoloration, along with a severely swollen and multiple hemorrhages of the spleen, an elongated gallbladder, and a congested cortex and medullar lesion of kidneys. The stomach contained semi-liquid exudates and undigested chicken exuding a decayed odor. The stomach membranes were dark-gray in color with several cysts in the fundus lesions. Rod-shaped bacteria were found in the major organs by Giemsa staining, identified as E. tarda using a biochemical rapid diagnostic identification kit.

분리(分離)된 저영양세균(低營養細菌)중, 질소고정균(窒素固定菌)과 메타놀 이용균(利用菌)의 대부분이 분류학상(分類學上)새로운 균(菌)으로서 특정지을 수 있었다. 분리된 질소고정균의 경우 형태적 생리적인면에서 Azospirillum에 대응하는 균이라 생각되어 졌으나, 균체지방산조성 및 키논종(種)에 있어서 명확한 차이점을 보여 Azospirillum 속의 새로운 균주로써 추정되었다. 메타놀이용균중 부속기갖는 세포로된 균주들은 prosthecate bacteria(Hyponycrobium sp.)에 대응하는 균이라고 추정되어졌다. 그이외의 regular irregular rods를 나타내는 메타놀이용균에 대해서는 균체지방산조성면에 있어서 서로 다르다는 것이 주목되어져 균체지방산조서의 분석결과(分析結果)를 갖고 화학분류(化學分類)의 측면에서 재검토한 결과 유사도(類似度) 85-90% level에서 8개 cluster로 나뉘어졌다. 일부, cluster에 속하는 균주는 Pseudomonas sp.와 유사한 균으로 추정되었으며, 그 외의 균주들에 대해서는 분류학적 검토가 더욱더 필요로 한다.

20 Subjects with clinical diagnosis of adult periodontitis with sites having average pocket depth of 4mm were selected for the study. After scaling and root planing of those sites, 30% minocycline-HCI contained in biodegradable device were inserted in one group, scaling and root planing was carried out in another group and the last group was without any periodontal treatment. the difference between the group was detemined by pocket dept, bleeding on prbing, attachment level, distribution of subgingval plaque bacteria. Conclusion was made for the comparisons between baseline and 4 week and the groups. 1. In analysis of pocket depth, there was significant sifference in scaling and root planing group only. 2. Both the scaling and root planing group and minocycline group showed significant decrease in bleeding on probing. 3. There was significant increase in the attachment level in scaling and root planing group, but no difference was foundbetween the groups. 4. There was significant decrease in the total number of subgingival bacteria in all groups and the number of motile bacteria decreased significantly in the minocycline group. These result indicate that insertion of Minocycline-HCI at the base of periodntal pocket was useful as an additional aid of mechanical trarment at the point of periodontal pocket, bleeding on probing, attachment level, microbial distribution.

양조식초발효탱크에서 9% 이상의 고산도 초산 생성균을 분리하여 그 균주의 특성을 규명하였다. 분리된 초산균은 AE중층 한천배지에서 연한 베이지색의 colony를 형성하였고 전자현미경 관찰 결과 간균, Gram음성의 세균으로 flag-ella가 관찰되지 않아 운동성이 없을 것으로 추정된다. 배양액을 검경한 결과 분리균은 단일균 또는 2개가 짝을 지어 있는 쌍구균임을 알 수 있었다. 이 분리균주의 최적 생육온도와 pH는 3$0^{\circ}C$와 2.7이었다. 4~8% 초산을 함유한 AE배지에서 잘 생육하였고 pH 2.5의 초산을 첨가한 배지에서 잘 생육하였으나 초산을 첨가하지 않은 AE배지에서는 생육하지 않았다. Glucose를 이용하여 2-, 5-ketogluconate를 형성하였다. Ethanol 존재 하에서는 잘 생육하였으나 lactate 존재 하에서는 생육이 억제되었으며 cellulose를 생성하지 않았다. HPLC로 분석한 DNA 염기 중의 G와 C 함량(mol%)은 56.2 mol%이었다. 분리된 초산균은 탄소원으로 fructose, maltose, sucrose, mannitol, sorbitol을 첨가한 배지에서 잘 생육하였고 AE액체 배지 에 ethanol을 첨가하였을 경우와 propanol를 첨가한 경우 모두 잘 생육하였다. 생화학적 특성 및 G와 C함량을 다른 표준균주들과 비교한 결과 분리된 균주는 Gluconacetobacter europeus임을 확인할 수 있었다.

Recently many researches on plaque removal effect and therapeutic effect of toothpaste containing natural medicines are being studied in early periodontal diseases. The purpose of this study is to examine the clinical and microbiological effect of toothpaste containing natural medicines such as camomile, rhatany, myrrh，sage oil, glycyrrhetinic acid and vitamin E. Sixty three subjects with gingivitis were divided into an experimental group which performed normal oral hygiene procedure with toothpaste containing natural medicines and vitamine E and a control group which also performed normal oral hygiene procedure with Syrinmed? toothpaste without containing herbal extracts and vitamine E. At the baseline, 2 weeks, and 4 weeks, subjects were analyzed for clinical study and microbiological study. After 2 weeks and 4 weeks use of their respective toothpastes, statistically significant decreases of gingival index, plaque index, and bleeding index were shown in both the control and the experimental group. The degree of decrease was more significant in the experimental group than the control group. A statistically significant decrease of pocket depth, and gingival crevicular fluid were shown in both the control and lie experimental group. A statistically significant increase of cocci was shown in both the control and the experimental group, the degree of increase was more significant in the experimental group than control group. A statistically significant decrease ofnon-motile rods, and motile rods were shown in both the control and the experimental group, the degree of decrease was more significant in the experimental group than the control group. Spirochetes increased weakly in both the control and the experimental group but a statistic significance was not shown. A statistically significant decrease of anaerobic bacteria, aerobic bacteria, and black pigmented Bacteroides were shown in both the control and the experimental group. These results indicate that the use of toothpaste containing natural medicines is effective in the prevention and the treatment of periodontal diseases.

Flagellin, a major structural protein of the flagellum found in all motile bacteria, activates the TLR5- or NLRC4 inflammasome-dependent signaling pathway to induce innate immune responses. Flagellin can also serve as a specific antigen for the adaptive immune system and stimulate anti-flagellin antibody responses. Failure to recognize commensal-derived flagellin in TLR5-deficient mice leads to the reduction in anti-flagellin IgA antibodies at steady state and causes microbial dysbiosis and mucosal barrier breach by flagellated bacteria to promote chronic intestinal inflammation. Despite the important role of anti-flagellin antibodies in maintaining the intestinal homeostasis, regulatory mechanisms underlying the flagellin-specific antibody responses are not well understood. In this study, we show that flagellin induces interferon-β (IFN-β) production and subsequently activates type I IFN receptor signaling in a TLR5- and MyD88-dependent manner in vitro and in vivo. Internalization of TLR5 from the plasma membrane to the acidic environment of endolysosomes was required for the production of IFN-β, but not for other pro-inflammatory cytokines. In addition, we found that anti-flagellin IgG2c and IgA responses were severely impaired in interferon-alpha receptor 1 (IFNAR1)-deficient mice, suggesting that IFN-β produced by the flagellin stimulation regulates anti-flagellin antibody class switching. Our findings shed a new light on the regulation of flagellin-mediated immune activation and may help find new strategies to promote the intestinal health and develop mucosal vaccines.
