SRB(Sulfate Reducing Bacteria) converts sulfate into sulfide using an organic carbon source as the electron donor. The sulfide formed precipitates the various metals present in the AMD (Acid Mine Drainage). This study is the fundamental research on heavy metal removal from AMD using SRB. Two completely mixed anaerobic reactors were operated for cultivation of SRB at the temperature of $30^{\circ}C$ and anaerobic batch reactors were used to evaluate the effects of carbon source, COD/sulfate($SO_4^=$) ratio and alkalinity on sulfate reduction rate and heavy metal removal efficiency. AMD used in this study was characterized by low pH 3.0 and 1000mg/l of sulfate and dissolved high concentration of heavy metals such as iron, cadmium, copper, zinc and lead. It was found that glucose was an organic carbon source better than acetate as the electron donor of SRB for sulfate reduction in AMD. Amount of sulfate reduction maximized at the COD(glucose)/sulfate ratio of 0.5 in the influent and then removal efficiencies of heavy metals were 97.5% of Cu, 100% of Pb, 100% of Cr, 49% of Mn, 98% of Zn, 100% Cd and 92.4% of Fe. Although sulfate reduction results in an increase in the alkalinity of the reactor, alkalinity of 1000mg/1 (as $CaCo_3$) should be should be added continuously to the anaerobic reactor in order to remove heavy metals from AMD.

본 연구에서는 우유에 탈지분유 또는 4종의 쌀을 각각 2%(w/v) 첨가하여 커드상의 요구르트를 만들고, 대조군(우유로만 만든 요구르트)과 비교하여 쌀의 첨가가 젖산균의 산생성 및 커드상 요구르트의 품질(관능성, 저장성)에 미치는 영향을 조사하였으며. HPLC를 이용하여 몇 가지 유기산을 분석하였다. 쌀의 첨가로 젖산균의 산생성이 대조군보다 촉진되었는데 현미의 촉진효과가 가장 현저하였다. 접종된 4종의 젖산균(Lactobacillus 3종, Leuconostoc 1종) 중에서는 Leuc. mesenteroides와 L. bulgaricus의 산생성도가 높았다. HPLC에 의한 유기산 분석의 결과를 보면 우유나 2% 현미를 첨가한 우유에 L. bulgaricus를 접종하여 24시간 발효하는 동안 lactic acid는 젖산균에 의해 생성되어 그 양이 현저하게 증가 하였으나, 우유 중에 들어있는 citric acid는 젖산균에 의해 이용되어 그 양이 현저히 감소하였다. 커드상 요구르트의 관능성은 쌀의 첨가로 표준시료보다 다소 저하되었으며, 쌀 첨가시료 중에서는 통일벼 첨가시료가 다른 시료보다 우수하였다. 커드상의 요구르트를 2주일간 $5^{\circ}C$ 냉장고에 저장하는 동안 산생성과 pH, 생균수에 거의 변화가 없어 저장성은 매우 우수한 것으로 나타났다.

Vanillyl alcohol (VA), which is abundant in Vanilla bean, has strong antioxidant activity. However, the use of VA in the food and cosmetics industries is limited, due to its low solubility in emulsion or organic solvents. Meanwhile, medium chain fatty acids and medium chain monoglycerides have antibacterial activity. We synthesized butyric acid vanillyl ester (BAVE) or caprylic acid vanillyl ester (CAVE) from VA with tributyrin or tricaprylin through transesterification reaction using immobilized lipases. BAVE and CAVE scavenged 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radicals in organic solvents. In addition, BAVE and CAVE decreased the production rate of conjugated diene and triene in the menhaden oil-in-water emulsion system. While BAVE showed no antibacterial activity, CAVE showed antibacterial activity against food spoilage bacteria, including Bacillus coagulans. In this study, the antibacterial activity of vanillyl ester with medium chain fatty acid was first revealed. Zeta potential measurements confirmed that BAVE and CAVE were inserted into B. coagulans membrane. In addition, the propidium iodide uptake assay and fluorescent microscopy showed that CAVE increased B. coagulans membrane permeability. Therefore, CAVE is expected to play an important role in the food and cosmetics industries as a bi-functional material with both antioxidant and antibacterial activities.

This studies were carried out to investgate the effects of omija (Schizandra chinensis) extracts(OE) on the growth of lactic acid bacteria (LAB, HYO-1 and HYO-2) isolated from home-made kimchi. The growth of isolated LAB was inhibited apparently in modified MRS broth containing 1% or 2% of OE. The growth of isolated LAB was inhibited by pH control with HCI to 4.3 or 3.7, the same pH of modified MRS broth containing 1% or 2% of OE. The strong growth inhibitory properties against isolated LAB were shown by fumaric and itaconic acid among various organic acids of Schizandra chinensis, such as citric acid, malic acid, lactic acid, fumaric acid, itaconic acid and acetic acid. The isolated LAB were indentified as Lactobacillus plantarum.

Pediococcus acidilactici strain M produced a bacteriocin which was proteinaceous, heat stable, and exhibited antimicrobial activity against lactic acid bacteria, variety of food spoilage and pathogenic bacteria. The antimicrobial activity was not caused by $H_2$$O_2$ and organic acid, and was remained between pHs of 4.0 to 9. Molecular weight of crude bacteriocin was approximately 2, 500. Phenotypic assignment after plasmid cruing experiment demonstrated that a 53.7 kilobase (kb) plasmid, designated as pSUC53, was responsible for the sucrose fermentation phenotype ($Suc^+$) and a 11.1 kb plasmid, designated as pBAC11, was associated with bacteriocin production phenotype ($Bac^+$). Neither of the two plasmids were linked to antibiotic resistance.

We have newly constructed an in silico model of fermentative metabolism for Lactococcus lactis in order to analyze the characteristics of metabolite flux for dynamic network. A rigorous mathematical model for metabolic flux has been developed and simulation researches have been performed by using GEPASI program. In this simulation task, we were able to predict the whole flux distribution trend for lactate metabolism and analyze the flux ratio on the pyruvate branch point by using metabolic flux analysis(MFA). And we have studied flux control coefficients of key reaction steps in the model by using metabolic control analysis(MCA). The role of pyruvate branch seems to be essential for the secretion of lactate and other organic byproducts. Then we have made an effort to elucidate its metabolic regulation characteristics and key reaction steps, and find an optimal condition for the production of lactate.

Kimchi is a traditional Korean dish made with salted fermented vegetables and contains various nutrients and functional substances with potential health benefits. The fermentation process used to make kimchi creates chemical changes in the food, developing nutrients and functional substances that are more easily absorbed and enhanced by the body. Recent studies have shown that several lactic acid bacteria strains isolated from kimchi exhibit probiotic properties and have several health benefiting properties such as such as anticancer, anti-obesity, and anti-constipation; they also promote colon health and cholesterol reduction in in vitro and in vivo experiments, as well as in epidemiological cohort studies. Kimchi contains prebiotics, non-digestible fibers that nourish beneficial gut bacteria; therefore, its intake effectively provides both probiotics and prebiotics for improved gut health and a fortified gut-derived immune system. Furthermore, fermentation of kimchi produces a variety of metabolites that enhance its functionality. These metabolites include organic acids, enzymes, vitamins, bioactive compounds, bacteriocins, exopolysaccharides, and γ-aminobutyric acid. These diverse health-promoting metabolites are not readily obtainable from single food sources, positioning kimchi as a valuable dietary option for acquiring these essential components. In this review, the health functionalities of kimchi ingredients, lactic acid bacteria strains, and health-promoting metabolites from kimchi are discussed for their properties and roles in kimchi fermentation. In conclusion, consuming kimchi can be beneficial for health. We highlight the benefits of kimchi consumption and establish a rationale for including kimchi in a balanced, healthy diet.
