A number of health benefits have been claimed for probiotic bacteria such as Bifidobacterium (B) spp. Lactobacillus(L) acidophilus, and Lactococcus(Lc) cremoris. Viability of probiotic bacteria is important in order to provide health benefits. Only a limited culture media for the test purpose of probiotic bacteria are commercially available (MRS broth), but the media for large-scale propagation of viable cells which are able to be used as food additive are not available. The manufacture of a low priced and preferred novel medium for probiotic bacteria was therefore, attempted using whey protein concentrate(WPC) and Makgeolli sludge as a starting material. The effect of WPC and Makgeolli sludge on the growth of four strains (B. bifidum 15696, B. longum 15707, L. acidophilus CH-2, and Lc. cremoris 20076) was investigated. Medium prepared such as WPC, Makgeolli sludge, and WPC+Makgeolli sludge(WPCMs). It was observed that the growth of 4 strains (B. bifidum 15696, B. longum 15707, L. acidophilus CH-2, and Lc. cremoris 20076) was stimulated by Makgeolli sludge, WPC, WPCMs. Especially, Viable cell number of 4 strains in the WPCMs were higher than that of the single media. These result suggest the possibility that Makgeolli and WPC, acts as a growth factor for the growth of probiotic bacteria.

The immune system is generally divided into the innate and the adopted immune systems, both protecting the body from pathogens. Recently, allergies, a disease associated with an imbalanced immune system, have increased rapidly in developed countries. Prevailing symptoms of allergic diseases are eczema, allergic rhinitis, asthma, inflammatory bowel disease, and food allergy. Probiotic bacteria, mainly consisting of lactic acid bacteria, are used in the prevention and treatment of allergic diseases. The function of them is to stimulate the intestinal immune cells and form a complex signal network to activate other immune cells. Beneficial health effects of probiotics are based on the hygiene hypothesis, which suggests that sanitary environment is important for health, but limited exposure to environmental factors increases allergic diseases. An immunoregulatory effect of probiotic bacteria is demonstrated by controlled trial, animal model, in vitro, in vivo and ex vivo designs. However, the immunoregulatory effect of probiotic bacteria is controversial because it depends on probiotic strains, a dose and a type of diseases. In this review, we discussed clinical evidences on immunoregulatory effects of probiotic bacteria.

In vitro acid- and bile-tolerant lactic acid bacteria isolated and identified from Indonesian traditional fermented milk dadih might be considered as potential probiotic strains after further characterization with animal models, especially for their therapeutic properties. Five dadih lactic bacteria isolates each had moderate survival rate for 2 h at pH 2.0, as well as bile tolerance. The aim of this research was to identify candidate probiotic lactic bacteria among indigenous dadih lactic isolates originated from Bukit Tinggi, West Sumatra, especially their in vivo antimutagenic property. Milk cultured with Enterococcus faecium IS-27526 significantly lowered fecal mutagenicity of rats as compared to the control group, skim milk, and milk cultured with L. plantarum IS-20506. These results suggest that Enterococcus faecium IS-27526 may serve as a potential probiotic strain with its antimutagenicity.

세균성 어류질병의 치료 및 예방을 위하여 어류와 인체에 안전한 수산용 probiotic의 개발이 요구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 남해안 일대에서 양식되고 있는 참굴 (Crassostrea gigas), 바지락 (Ruditapes philippinarum), 피조개 (Scapharca broughtonii), 새조개 (Fulvia mutica)의 가식 부위로부터 17균주의 candidate probiotic bacteria (CPB)를 분리하였다. 나아가 다양한 연쇄상구균 (Lactococcus garvieae, L. piscium, Streptococcus sp., S. iniae, and S. parauberis)에 대하여 강한 생장 억제력을 보이는 균주(CPB-St)를 선별하여 어류의 연쇄구균증 관리를 위한 probiotic 균주로서의 개발 가능성을 알아보았다. CPB-St 균주를 double layer test를 통하여 다양한 연쇄상구균들에 대한 생장 억제 정도를 알아보았으며, 혼합 배양에서의 Streptococcus sp.에 대한 생장 억제 능력을 확인하였고, CPB-St의 어류에 대한 안전성 및 장내 생존 유무를 평가하였다. CPB-St는 대부분의 연쇄상구균에 대하여 18~26 mm의 생장 억제대를 형성함으로써 높은 생장 억제 능력을 보였다. CPB-St와의 혼합 배양에서 Streptococcus sp.는 6시간째부터 생장 억제 현상이 관찰되기 시작하여 12시간 전후로 8~55배 정도의 감소를 나타내었다. CPB-St의 어류에 대한 병원성 유 무를 알아본 결과, 2주일 동안 CPB-St로 인한 어류 폐사는 관찰되지 않았다. CPB-St의 1회 강제 경구 투여 후, 위와 장에서 CPB-St의 생존을 확인한 결과 투여 24시간 후에는 CPB-St가 모두 배출되는 것으로 나타났다. CPB-St를 probiotic bacteria로 개발하기 위해서는 어류의 장내 정착 가능성과 먹이를 통한 효과의 정확한 검증이 추후 이루어져야 할 것이다.

Probiotics are living microorganisms that, when administered in adequate amounts, provide a health benefit to the host and are considered safe. Most probiotic strains that are beneficial to human health are included in the "Lactic acid bacteria" (LAB) group. The positive effects of probiotic bacteria on the host's health are species-specific and even strain-specific. Therefore, evaluating the probiotic potential of both wild and novel strains is essential. In this study, the probiotic characteristics of Lactobacillus brevis KT38-3 were determined. The strain identification was achieved by 16S rRNA sequencing. API-ZYM test kits were used to determine the enzymatic capacity of the strain. L. brevis KT38-3 was able to survive in conditions with a broad pH range (pH 2-7), range of bile salts (0.3%-1%) and conditions that simulated gastric juice and intestinal juice. The percentage of autoaggregation (59.4%), coaggregation with E. coli O157:H7 (37.4%) and hydrophobicity were determined to be 51.1%, 47.4%, and 52.7%, respectively. L. brevis KT38-3 produced β-galactosidase enzymes and was able ferment lactose. In addition, this strain was capable of producing antimicrobial peptides against the bacteria tested, including methicillin and/or vancomycin-resistant bacteria. The cell-free supernatants of the strain had high antioxidant activities (DPPH: 54.9% and ABTS: 48.7%). Therefore, considering these many essential in vitro probiotic properties, L. brevis KT38-3 has the potential to be used as a probiotic supplement. Supporting these findings with in vivo experiments to evaluate the potential health benefits will be the subject of our future work.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of glucose oxidase (GOX) immobilized on magnetic chitosan nanoparticles (MCNP) on the viability of probiotic bacteria and the physico-chemical properties of drinking yogurt. Different concentrations (0, 250, and 500 mg/kg) of free and immobilized GOX were used in probiotic drinking yogurt samples. The samples were stored at $4^{\circ}C$ for 21 d. During storage, reduction of the number of probiotic bacteria in the samples with enzyme was lower than the control sample (without enzyme). The sample containing 500 mg/kg immobilized enzyme had the highest number of Bifidobacterium lactis and Lactobacillus acidophilus. The samples containing immobilized enzyme had lower acidity than other samples. Moreover, moderate proteolytic activity and enough contents of flavor compounds were observed in these samples. It can be concluded that use of immobilized GOX is economically more feasible because of improving the viability of probiotic bacteria and the physico-chemical characteristics of drinking yogurt.

본 연구에서는 히스타민을 생성하는 유산균과 이에 항균 활성을 나타내는 프로바이오틱 유산균을 혼합 접종하여 제조한 렌넷 커드 내 항균물질과 히스타민 생산에 영향을 미치는 인자를 조사하였다. 프로바이오틱 유산균인 Lactobacillus plantarum FIL20과 Lactobacillus sakei PIL52는 히스타민 생성균인 Lactobacillus brevis LAS129, Enterococcus faecium SBP12 및 Enterococcus faecalis SBP58에 대해 강력한 항균 물질을 생산하였고, 프로바이오틱균이 생산한 유산과 박테리오신의 항균 활성은 농도의존적이었다. 렌넷 커드 제조를 위해 접종한 프로바이오틱 유산균의 균수가 많을수록 항균 물질 생성량이 증가되어 히스타민 생성균에 대한 항균 활성도 높아졌다. 프로바이오틱 유산균과 히스타민 생성균은 NaCl 10% 첨가에 의해 증식이 억제됨으로써 렌넷 커드 내에 항균 물질과 히스타민의 함량은 대조구보다 유의하게 낮았다(P < 0.05). 한편, 프로바이오틱 유산균과 히스타민 생성균을 혼합하여 제조한 렌넷 커드를 $25^{\circ}C$에서 5일간 저장 했을 때 히스타민의 함량은 유의하게 증가되지 않았으나, $20^{\circ}C$에서 20일간 저장한 경우에는 프로바이오틱 유산균이 생산한 항균 물질의 활성이 감소됨에 따라 렌넷 커드 내에 히스타민의 함량이 유의하게 증가되었다(P < 0.05).
