For isolating and identifying Bifidobacterium spp. originating from Korea, feces were sampled from healthy Korean infants nursery school and postpartum care center. Through the use of gram staining and microscopic examination for cell morphology, 87 bacterial strains presumed to be the Bifidobacterium strains were isolated from 59 Koreans. To identify the Bifidobacterium strains at the genus level, these bacteria were then analyzed using the TLC method. As a result, 29 of the isolated strains were confirmed as members of the genus Bifidobacterium. 29 Bifidobacterium strains were tested acid, bile salts and oxygen tolerance and investigated antioxidative effect specially. And determined the superiority of 5 strains out of 29 Bifidobacterium strains. Finally, the selected bifidobacterium was identified with using designed 16S-ITS rDNA primer.

In this paper, it is reported that the anode current changes at the constantly applied gate voltages and the current-voltage (I-V) characteristics of Si, Co silicide and Mo silicide field emitter arrays (FEAs) depending on vacuum level from a $10^{-9}$ torr to a $10^{-6}$ torr. The mechanism of the robustness of anode current degradation of Mo silicide FEAs under poor vacuum conditions can be explained by the model of tolerance for the oxygen adsorption and oxidation at the silicide surface. Also, we present the changes of emitting area and work function of the emitters according to vacuum level.

본 연구에서는 자바틸라피아(체장 10$\pm$1.0cm, 체중 173$\pm$4.2g)를 사용하여 염분의 변화에 따른 산소소비율, 아가미 호흡수 및 암모니아 배설률을 조사하였다. 담수(0 psu)에서 사육하던 자바틸라피아를 염분 0(대조구), 3, 9. 15, 21 및 32 psu로 이동하였을 때 시간경과에 따른 생존율을 조사하였다. 단계적 인 염분변화는 담수(0 psu, 대조구)로부터 염분을 1일 3psu씩 증가시켜 3, 9, 15, 21 및 32 psu가 되도록 조절하였다. 급격한 변화는 각 사육 염분(0, 9, 15, 21, 32 psu)에서 각각 4개의 다른 염분으로 순화 없이 바로 옮겨 조사하였다. 본 연구결과에서 나타난 갑작스런 염분변화는 96시간 반수치사농도(96 hr-TL$_{50}$)는 23.3 psu로 나타났다. 단계적으로 염분을 옮겼을 때 3 psu로부터 27 psu까지 염분증가에 따라 산소소비율과 호흡수는 높아지는 것으로 나타났으며, 32 psu에서는 0 psu보다 낮아지는 경향을 보였다. 암모니아 배설량은 15 psu에서 가장 높은 배설률을 보이고 21 psu이상에서는 불규칙한 배설률을 보였다. 이러한 결과로 볼 때, 담수에서 15 psu 이상으로 갑작스런 이동은 항상성 유지에 문제가 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 염분에 적응사육한다고 할 때 15 psu 이하에서 단계적인 순화를 거쳐서 사육하는 것이 안전하다고 판단되어진다.

In order to discover lifespan-extending compounds made from natural resources, activity-guided fractionation of Zingiber officinale Roscoe (Zingiberaceae) ethanol extract was performed using the Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) model system. The compound 6-gingerol was isolated from the most active ethyl acetate soluble fraction, and showed potent longevity-promoting activity. It also elevated the survival rate of worms against stressful environment including thermal, osmotic, and oxidative conditions. Additionally, 6-gingerol elevated the antioxidant enzyme activities of C. elegans, and showed a dose-depend reduction of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation in worms. Further studies demonstrated that the increased stress tolerance of 6-gingerol-mediated worms could result from the promotion of stress resistance proteins such as heat shock protein (HSP-16.2) and superoxide dismutase (SOD-3). The lipofuscin levels in 6-gingerol treated intestinal worms were decreased in comparison to the control group. No significant 6-gingerol-related changes, including growth, food intake, reproduction, and movement were noted. These results suggest that 6-gingerol exerted longevity-promoting activities independently of these factors and could extend the human lifespan.

Recently, global warming by greenhouse gas effect is getting danger and danger for human life and agriculture at present. In Indonesia, according to heavy rain in the agriculture land is often covered by excess water in result crop growth would be affected negative. This water stress triggers roots failure in anaerobic condition for upland crop because of limiting roots respiration. Chili pepper grows in upland sometimes in touch with waterlogging due to rainfall and /or over flow water from river in Indonesia. In this case, roots growing is inhibited by effect of shortage of oxygen at root cap. Therefore, the objective of this study is to observe the plant behavior in waterlogging using mahor local genotypes (Ferosa, Laris, Romario) in Sumatra. The experiment was kept by at 1cm depth water above the soil surface as a waterlogged treatment for ---days. As a result, waterlogging affected plant growth of chili negatively, especially for roots growth. Almost roots were getting bad and changed color for brown during waterlogging. A significant negative effect for nutrient absorption by roots was found in dry weight of all varieties during waterlogging. Dry weight of roots was decreased by 81.4% and 67.6%, and those of aerial part decreased by 74% and 67.2% compared with control in Ferosa and Romario at 1week after treatment. On the other hand, dry weight of roots was decreased only 35% in Laris. Therefore, Laris has a tolerance for waterlogging compared to with other varieties. Also, Laris in SPAD value was kept initial level during waterlogging however those of Ferosa and Romario decreased. Finally, due to impact of waterlogging, it may be the roots become failure because of less aerenchyma formation under anaerobic condition. We need confirm aerenchyma formation morphologically in the future.

Chromium (Cr) toxicity is hazardous to the seed germination, growth, and development of plants. ${\gamma}$-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) is a non-protein amino acid and is involved in stress tolerance in plants. To investigate the effects of GABA in alleviating Cr toxicity, we treated eight-d-old mustard (Brassica juncea L.) seedlings with Cr (0.15 mM and 0.3 mM $K_2CrO_4$, 5 days) alone and in combination with GABA ($125{\mu}M$) in a semi-hydroponic medium. The roots and shoots of the seedlings accumulated Cr in a dose-dependent manner, which led to an increase in oxidative damage [lipid peroxidation; hydrogen peroxide ($H_2O_2$) content; superoxide ($O{_2}^{{\cdot}-}$) generation; lipoxygenase (LOX) activity], MG content, and disrupted antioxidant defense and glyoxalase systems. Chromium stress also reduced growth, leaf relative water content (RWC), and chlorophyll (chl) content but increased phytochelatin (PC) and proline (Pro) content. Furthermore, supplementing the Cr-treated seedlings with GABA reduced Cr uptake and upregulated the non-enzymatic antioxidants (ascorbate, AsA; glutathione, GSH) and the activities of the enzymatic antioxidants including ascorbate peroxidase (APX), monodehydroascorbate reductase (MDHAR), dehydroascorbate reductase (DHAR), glutathione reductase (GR), glutathione peroxidase (GPX), superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glyoxalase I (Gly I), and glyoxalase II (Gly II), and finally reduced oxidative damage. Adding GABA also increased leaf RWC and chl content, decreased Pro and PC content, and restored plant growth. These findings shed light on the effect of GABA in improving the physiological mechanisms of mustard seedlings in response to Cr stress.

Differential display reverse transcription PCR (DDRT-PCR) analysis was performed on lily 'Marcopolo' bulb scale for isolation of expressed genes during bulblet formation. Cu/Zn lily-superoxide dismutase (LSOD) of 872 bp gene, with ability to scavenge reactive oxygen in stress environment, was isolated. Northern blot analysis showed expression levels of LSOD maximized 12 days after bulblet formation. Ti plasmid vectors were constructed with sense and antisense expressions of LSOD gene and transformed into potato. Southern blot analysis of transgenic potatoes revealed different copies of T-DNA were incorporated into potato genome. In transgenic potatoes, lily SOD gene was overexpressed in sense lines and not in antisense lines. In native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analysis, additional engineered LSOD was detected in sense overexpressed transgenic line only. Transgenic potatoes were subjected to oxidative stress, such as herbicide methyl viologen (MV). Transgenic potato lines with sense orientation exhibited increased tolerance to MV, whereas in antisense lines exhibited decreased tolerance. In vitro tuberization of transgenic potato with sense orientation was promoted, but was inhibited in transgenic potato with antisense orientation.

Using the Caenorhabditis elegans model system, the antioxidant activity of methanol extract of the guzeunggupoprocessed Liriope platyphylla F. T. Wang (Liliaceae) tuber was calculated. Between the methanol extracts of guzeunggupo-processed and non-processed L. platyphylla tuber, the processed L. platyphylla tuber showed higher DPPH radical scavenging effect than the non-processed one. The ethyl acetate soluble fraction of the methanol extract of the guzeunggupo-processed L. platyphylla tuber showed the best DPPH radical scavenging activity. The ethyl acetate fraction of the processed sample was measured for the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, and oxidative stress tolerance by using C. elegans along with reactive oxygen species level. In addition, to verify the regulation of the stress response gene is responsible for the increased stress tolerance of C. elegans treated by the ethyl acetate fraction of the processed sample, SOD-3 expression was measured using a transgenic strain (CF1553). Consequently, the ethyl acetate fraction of the processed sample, increased SOD and catalase activities, and decreased ROS accumulation in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, the ethyl acetate fraction of the processed sample-treated CF1553 worm showed higher SOD-3::GFP intensity than the control worm.
