  • Strain NK181 was isolated for probiotic use from jeotkal and based on results of API 50 CHL kit and 16S rDNA sequencing was tentatively named Lactobacillus plantarum NK181. L. plantarum NK181 was highly resistant to artificial gastric juice (pH 2.5) and bile acid and demonstrated strong adherence to Caco-2 cells. In test using API ZYM kit, eight enzymes were produced. Supernatant of L. plantarum NK181 exhibited about 30% 1,1-diphenyl-2-picyryl hedrazyl (DPPH) radical-scavenging activity and reduced cholesterol by 70%. These results demonstrate potential use of L. plantarum NK181 as health-promoting probiotic.

  • Cranberries have long been used by lay people to relieve the symptoms of urinary tract infections. Recent research has determined that the component of cranberry called proanthocyanidin (PAC) is the primary mechanism for inhibiting P-fimbriated E.coli adhesion to uroepithelial cells in vitro. A series of experiments were performed to determine the effects of PAC on growth and adhesion of uropathogenic E. coli and Staphylococcus aureus to urinary catheter material. The results showed that PAC-inhibited binding of Gram positive S. aureus to collagen coated surfaces and significantly decreased the growth of these bacteria. P-fimbriated E.coli did not bind well to the biomaterial and their growth was unaffected by the cranberry extract with the exception of some loss in viability at 1000 $\mu\textrm{g}$/mL after 5 to 18 hours of exposure. This is the first report of the potential for cranberries to interfere with the adhesion and growth of S. aureus, a multi-drug resistant organisms responsible for morbidity and mortality especially in hospitalized patients.

  • Lactobacillus species have been shown to enhance intestinal epithelial barrier function, modulate host immune responses, and suppress the growth of pathogenic bacteria, yeasts, molds, and viruses. Thus, lactobacilli have been used as probiotics for treating various diseases, including intestinal disorders, and as biological preservatives in the food and agricultural industries. However, the molecular mechanisms used by lactobacilli to suppress pathogenic bacterial infections have been poorly characterized. We previously isolated Lactobacillus plantarum JSA22 from buckwheat sokseongjang, a traditional Korean fermented soybean food, which possessed high enzymatic, fibrinolytic, and broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity against foodborne pathogens. In this study, we investigated the effects of L. plantarum JSA22 on the growth of S. Typhimurium and S. Typhimurium-induced cytotoxicity by stimulating the host immune response in intestinal epithelial cells. The results showed that coincubation of S. Typhimurium and L. plantarum JSA22 with intestinal epithelial cells suppressed S. Typhimurium infection, S. Typhimurium-induced NF-κB activation, and IL-8 production, and lowered the phosphorylation of both Akt and p38. These data indicated that L. plantarum JSA22 has probiotic properties, and can inhibit S. Typhimurium infection of intestinal epithelial cells. Our findings can be used to develop therapeutic and prophylactic agents against pathogenic bacteria.

  • Weissella confusa 31, an isolate from human feces, possesses desirable properties as a probiotic strain, including bile salt resistance. W. confusa 31 is not inhibited by bile salts up to 0.3% concentration. Proteins affected by bile salts (0.05%) were examined by 2-D gel electrophoresis. Our proteomic analyses revealed that the intensities of 29 spots were changed, where 17 increased (including 2 spots observed only under the bile salts stress conditions) and 12 decreased. Proteins were identified by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. Proteins increased in the band intensities included adenylate kinase (12.75-fold increase), Clp-like ATP-dependent protease (11.91-fold), 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (10.35-fold), and HSP 70 (5.07-fold). Some of the increased or decreased proteins are also known to be involved in other types of stress responses.

  • In this study, seven strains isolated from mustard leaf kimchi were screened for their tolerance to simulated gastric and bile juices, the adhesive properties to Caco-2 cells, and the inhibition ability of Salmonella Typhimurium ATCC 29631 adhesion. Lactobacillus acidophilus GK20, Lactobacillus paracasei GK74, and Lactobacillus plantarum GK81, which were resistant to bile as well as gastric juices, possessed high bile-salt hydrolase (BSH) activity towards both sodium glycocholate and sodium taurocholate. The strongest in vitro adherence of $53.96{\pm}4.49%$ was exhibited by L. plantarum GK81 followed by L. acidophilus GK20 with adhesion levels of $40.72{\pm}9.46%$. The adhesion of these strains was significantly (p < 0.05) reduced after exposure to pepsin and heating for 30 min at $80^{\circ}C$. Addition of $Ca^{2+}$ led to a significant (p < 0.05) increase of the adhesion of L. acidophilus GK20, but the adhesion ability of L. plantarum GK81 was not different from the control by the addition of calcium. In the competition and exclusion experiment, the adhesion inhibition of S. Typhimurium by L. plantarum GK81 strain was much higher than the other strains. Moreover, the exclusion inhibition of S. Typhimurium by L. acidophilus GK20 was considerably high, although the inhibition activity of this strain was lower than L. plantarum GK81.

  • The aim of the present study was to investigate the antigenotoxic properties of the probiotic Lactobacillus rhamnosus IMC501; DNA damage was induced by one representative food mutagen, 2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (PhIP). Mice were treated orally with suspensions of lactobacilli for 10 days before administration of food mutagen. During the treatment, the abundance of lactobacilli in feces, as assessed by qPCR analysis, increased, whereas ${\beta}$-glucuronidase and N-acetyl-${\beta}$-glucosaminidase activities decreased. The extent of DNA damage was measured in colon and liver cells by comet assay. In colonocytes, diet supplementation with IMC501 resulted in a significant inhibition of DNA damage induced by PhIP. The results obtained in this in vitro study suggest that Lactobacillus rhamnosus IMC501 used as a dietary supplement can provide a useful integration of antimutagen food components of the normal diet, which are generally lower than the protective level.

  • This study aims to determine the antibiofilm effect of cell-free supernatant (CFS) of Lactobacillus brevis strains against Streptococcus mutans strains. To study the antibiofilm mechanism against S. mutans strains, antibacterial effects, cell surface properties (auto-aggregation and cell surface hydrophobicity), exopolysaccharide (EPS) production, and morphological changes were examined. The antibiofilm effect of L. brevis KCCM 202399 CFS as morphological changes were evaluated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM), compared with the control treatment. Among the L. brevis strains, L. brevis KCCM 202399 showed the highest antibiofilm effect on S. mutans KCTC 5458. The antibacterial effect of L. brevis KCCM 202399 against S. mutans KCTC 5458 was investigated using the deferred method (16.00 mm). The minimum inhibitory concentration of L. brevis KCCM 202399 against S. mutans KCTC 5458 was 25.00%. Compared with the control treatment, L. brevis KCCM 202399 CFS inhibited the bacterial adhesion of S. mutans KCTC 5458 by decreasing auto-aggregation, cell surface hydrophobicity, and EPS production (45.91%, 40.51%, and 67.44%, respectively). L. brevis KCCM 202399 CFS inhibited and eradicated the S. mutans KCTC 5458 biofilm. Therefore, these results suggest that L. brevis KCCM 202399 CFS may be used to develop oral health in the probiotic industry.

  • Recent studies have shown that probiotics have health-promoting effects, particularly intestinal immune modulation. In this study, we focused on the immunomodulatory properties of Latilactobacillus curvatus BYB3, formerly called Lactobacillus curvatus, isolated from kimchi. In a mouse model of 14-day dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis, treatment with L. curvatus BYB3 significantly decreased the disease activity index, colon length, and weight loss. Moreover, histological analyses showed that L. curvatus BYB3 protected the structural integrity of the intestinal epithelial layer and mucin-secreting goblet cells from DSS-induced damage, with only slight infiltration by immune cells. To evaluate the molecular mechanisms underlying L. curvatus BYB3-driven inhibition of interleukin 6 production, possible in vivo anti-inflammatory effects of L. curvatus BYB3 were examined in the same mouse model. In addition, significantly lower levels of IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor receptor 1 upregulation were seen in the DSS+BYB3 group (compared to that in the DSS group). These results indicate that L. curvatus BYB3 exhibits health-promoting effects via immune modulation; and therefore, it can be used to treat various inflammatory diseases.

  • Lactiplantibacillus plantarum (L. plantarum) ST was isolated from De'ang pickled tea in Yunnan Province, China. The genomes of strain ST were fully sequenced and analyzed using the PacBio RS II sequencing system. Our previous study has shown that L. plantarum ST is a potential probiotic strain. It had strong tolerance in the simulated artificial gastrointestinal tract, and in the antagonism tests, this strain showed strong antibacterial activity. Therefore, as a probiotic, it may be used in animal breeding. L. plantarum ST genome was composed of 1 circular chromosome and 7 plasmids. The length of the whole genome was 3320817 bp, and the annular chromosome size was 3058984 bp, guanine + cytosine (G ± C) content (%) was 44.76%, which contained 2945 protein-coding sequences (CDS). This study will contribute to a further comprehensive understanding of L. Plantarum ST at the genomic level and provide a theoretical basis for its future application in animal breeding.

  • 본 실험은 건강한 한국인의 분변으로부터 분리한 20종과 상업종균 3종을 대조군으로 하여 비피더스균의 특성을 내산성, 내담즙성, 발효특성, 생존성, 콜레스테롤 분석, 항미생물 분석, 항돌연변이 분석, Phagocytosis 분석, $TNF-{\alpha}$ 및 IL-6 분석치를 균주간 비교 분석하였다. 또한 비피더스균의 균주간 비교 분석 결과 최종 선정한 Bifidobacterium longum A-2의 임상실험에 의한 장내 변화를 분석하고자 건강한 한국인 성인 7명(남성, 평균 연령 36세)를 대상으로 Bif. longum A-2를 냉동건조한 분말($5.0{\times}10^9/g$/회)로 매일 식후 2회 7일간 섭취후 분변을 검색하였다. 분변검사 횟수는 총 4회로 비피더스균 섭취 7일전, 1일전, 섭취 7일중, 절식 14일후에 실시하였다. 비피더스 균주간 특성 비교 결과와 Bif. longum A-2의 임상실험 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 내산성에서는 2균주(A-2, A-9가, 내담즙성에서 6균주(A-2, A-5, A-13, A-14, A-18, A-22) 균주가 높게 나타났다. 2. pH, TA, 비피더스균수를 비교한 발효특성에서는 6균주가 pH 4.5이하, TA 0.90이상으로 나타났으며 , A-23 균주는 젖산에 대한 초산의 생성이 가장 낮았다. 특히 A-2의 탄수화물 이용성에서 젖산에 대한 초산의 비율이 가장 낮은 것은 Mannitol로 분석되었다. 3. 생존성에서는 A-2가 상업종균 A-22에 비하여 $4^{\circ}C$, $20^{\circ}C$ 보관중에서도 감소 경향이 적어 안정성이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 4. 콜레스테롤 분석에서는 5균주(A-8, A-10, A-11, A-12, A-20)가 30% 이상 감소시켜 콜레스테롤 저하 효과가 매우 높게 나타났다. 5. E. coli, Sta. aureus, Pseudo. flores에 대한 항미생물 분석에서 Sta. aureus에 대하여 A-1, A-2가 높게 나타났다. 특히 pH를 조정하여도 Sta. aureus에 대하여 항미생물 작용이 높게 나타난 A-20균주는 추가실험의 가치가 있을 것으로 판단되었다. 6. 항돌연변이 분석에서는 돌연변이원인 NQO와 IQ에 대하여 공히 70%이상 항돌연변이작용을 나타낸 A-2, A-12 및 A-23균주가 높게 나타났다. 7. 면역능 분석은 phagocytosis, $TNF-{\alpha}$ 생성, IL-6 생성에 있어서 균주 4종(A-1, A-5, A-9,A-20)이 높게 나타났으며 그중에서도 A-5균주는 매우 높은 수치를 보였다. 8. Bif. longum A-2 식이에 따른 장내 비피더스균의 변화는 섭취 7일전 $1.0{\times}10^8$, 섭취 1일전 $1.1{\times}10^8$, 섭취 7일중 $2.5{\times}10^8$, 절식 14일후 $1.8{\times}10^8$으로 검출되어 섭취전에 비해 섭취중과 절식후에 비피더스균수는 유의성(P<0.05)이 있게 증가하였고 피험자에 따라서도 비피더스균수는 고도로 유의성(P<0.01)이 있게 증가하였다. 9. Bif. longum A-2의 섭취후 장내세균에 의해 생성되는 대장암 유발성 효소인 ${\beta}-gucuronidase$의 변화는 섭취 7일전 $14.148\;{\mu}g/hr/g$, 섭취 1일전 $13.447\;{\mu}g/hr/g$, 섭취 7일중 $8.123\;{\mu}g/hr/g$, 절식 14일후 $10.612\;{\mu}g/hr/g$으로 검출되어 섭취전에 비해 섭취중과 절식후 고도로 유의성(P<0.01)있게 감소하였고 피험자에 따라서도 유의성(P<0.05)이 있게 감소하였다. 10. 한편 lactobacilli, Enterobacteriaceae, Clostridium pefringens, pH, 암모니아의 변화는 유의 성이 없었다. 11. 임상실험에서 BS 배지에서 성장한 colony의 당발효성을 검색한 결과 식이로 섭취한 Bif. longum A-2의 당발효성과 동일하게 나타난 점으로 보아 경구 섭취한 Bif. longum A-2는 살아서 장까지 도달하며 장내에 정착할 수도 있을 것으로 추정되었다. 상기 결과와 같이 비피더스균주간 특성을 비교한 결과 많은 특성에서 좋은 결과를 나타낸 Bif. longum A-2 균주를 최종적으로 선발하게 되었고 이 균주가 외국의 상업종균과 특성의 비교에의의가 있었다. 또한 본 연구는 한국인으로부터 분리한 Bif. longum A-2에 대하여 한국인을 대상으로 임상실험에서 장내의 변화를 검증한 점에서 의의가 있었다.
