This study screened for radio-resistant strains lactic acid bacteria (LAB) by evaluating their capability to survive exposure to ionizing radiation. Ten strains of LAB - Lactobacillus bulgaricus, Lactobacillus paracasei, Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus delbruekii, Lactococcus lactis, Streptococcus thermophilus, Bifidobacterium breve, and Pediocuccos pentosaceus - were selected and subcultuted twice. The LAB was then further cultured for 3 d at $37^{\circ}C$ to reach 7-10 Log colony-forming units (CFU)/mL prior to irradiation and immediately exposed to gamma rays or electron beams with absorbed doses of 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, and 10 kGy. Gamma irradiation gradually decreased the number of the tested viable LAB, and the effect was irradiation dose dependent. A similar effect was found in electron beam-irradiated LAB. Radiation sensitivity of LAB was calculated as $D_{10}$ values, which ranged from 0.26 kGy to 0.9 kGy and 0.5 kGy to 1.44 kGy with exposure to gamma and electron beam irradiation, respectively, in all tested LAB. L. acidophilus was the most resistant to gamma and electron beam irradiation, with $D_{10}$ values of 0.9 kGy and 1.44 kGy, respectively. These results suggest that L. acidophilus might be suitable for the preparation of probiotics as direct-fed microbes for astronauts in extreme space environments.

Attempts to isolate the naturally occurring ultra-violet resistant bacteria from environmental sources were made. The isolates, designated No.29, 100, and 107, among numbers of bacterial isolates revealed a remarkable resistance to UV ray, whose degree of resistance in dose/response kinetics was comparable to that of an endospore-former, Bacillus subtilis. In a range of 100-300 $Jm^{-2}$/min of UV irradiation, the isolates exhibited 500-1000 fold resistance compated with E. coli. The isolated appeared to possiss cell-bound pigment of organge or crimson-red. The isolate 29 is spherical in pairs or tetrads, whereas the isolates 100 and 107 are rod. All are Gram-gositive bacteria and seemed to be non-endospore-bearer. A number of biochemical studies pursued on the isolates suggested that they are quite different to each other. Electron microscopic examination and the physiological characters of the isolate 29 suggested that this UV resistant spherical bacterium might be one species of Deinococcus, probably Deinococus radiophilus. Since there is no documents on UV resistant, Gram-positive, non-sporeformer bacillus so far, the isolates 100 and 107 might be turned out as new kinds of UV resistant bacteria occurring in nature by further investigation.

This experiment was carried out to identify and to compare the radiosensitivities of bacteriz isolated from the sources of different radiation exposure histories. Among 10 strains isolated in this investigation, 4 strains of bacteria, Bacillus firmus, Bacillus brevis, Baciilus subtilis and Bacillus sphaericus were isolated from high and low radioactive sites simulaneously. Bacterial strains isolated from radioactive sources such as reactor and isotope production rooms were more resistant to irradiation than the microganisms from medical products and laboratories, however, there was no significance in radiosensitivity in the same species of bacteriz, even if they were isolated from different radiation exposure histories.

A new method for antimicrobial susceptibility testing of vitro-cultured bacteria on an ordinary fluorescence spectrometer was developed. The viable bacteria reduced 3-(4,5 dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) to produce insoluble particles that displayed intense resonance scattering light. The assay showed a linear relationship between the number of viable bacteria and the intensity of resonance scattering light. Dead bacteria were unable to reduce MTT. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus exposed to flavonoids from Marchantia convoluta showed a flavonoids concentration-dependent inhibition of the ability to reduce MTT. In the assay, less than 12 h was required to attain susceptibility results and fewer bacteria were utilized than in traditional methods. The RLS technique could, in combination with the MTT assay, be a rapid and sensitive measuring method to determine the in vitro activity of new antimicrobials.

The present investigation is an attempt to create an optimized protocol for a bactericidal modality of different powers of He-Ne laser radiation to eliminate periodontitis disease causing bacteria from dental plaques. Periodontitis is most prevalent infectious disease of men and caused by a limited number of Gram negative oral bacteria. Porphyromonas gingivalis and Streptococcus sanguis are the important bacteria responsible for periodontitis diseases. Effect on periodontitis disease causing bacteria were produced by the exposure of different powers of He-Ne laser light i.e. 9 mW, 17 mW and 26 mW of red colour of wavelength 632.8 nm in two different periods of time i.e. 10 min. and 20 min. in the presence of dye Methylene blue (MB) used as a photosensitizer. The results have been shown in terms of percentage inhibition of colony forming units (cfu.) of bacteria. This study has shown that maximum inhibition of cfu. were observed in Laser+MB-20 min. exposure time. This inhibition was followed by Laser+MB-10 min., but minimum inhibition was seen in Laser only at 10 min. exposure. In case of effect of methylene alone on the cfu. of bacteria, it was seen that MB have not shown more inhibition of cfu. and it had shown that the no. of cfu. are very similar to that of control. The above observation of the present study was seen in case of every 3 different type of used powers of laser for both the bacteria. Maximum percentage inhibition of cfu. were seen in case of 26mW powers of He-Ne laser, which was 67. 28% to 61.42% for Porphyromonas gingivalis and Streptococcus sanguis respectively. So, increasing the power of laser (safe range for dentistry is 3-30 mW) under conditions shows an increased percentage inhibition of cfu. Thus the present investigation may be a useful adjunct with mechanical debridement in the prevention of recolonization of subgingival lesions by pathogenic microorganisms which are harmful and drug resistant.

항진균 세균의 특성 및 기능변화 가능성을 조사하기 위하여 버섯폐배지, 온천수, 해조류 및 삼림토양으로부터 식물병원성 진균에 대한 8종의 항진균 활성 균주를 분리하였고 감마선($^{60}Co$)을 이용하여 $LD_{95}$에서 돌연변이체를 유도하였다. Bacillus circulans K1, Burkholderia gladioli K4와 Bacillus subtilis YS1은 12 종의 식물병원성 진균에 대해 항진균 활성을 보였다. 이들 균주의 방사선감수성 조사결과 B. gladioli K4는 감마선에 대한 높은 감수성을 보였으며, $D_{10}$ 값은 0.11 kGy 였다. 감마선에 의해 유도된 K1-1004와 YS1-1009는 Botryosphaeria dothidea에 대해 항진균 활성이 증가되었다. B. subtilis YS1의 돌연변이체인 YS1-1006과 YS1-1009는 tebuconazol과 copper hydroxide에 대해 농약 저항성을 나타냈다. SAR535, SAR5108 과 SAR5l18 돌연변이체는 야생형 균주인 Streptomyces sp. SAR01에 비해 5 종의 식물병원성 진균에 대해 항진균 활성이 없었다. 연구결과, 방사선을 이용하여 다양한 기능의 돌연변이체 유도가 가능하였다. 이를 이용하여 항진균 활성 관련 유전자 연구 및 균주개량이 가능할 것으로 사료된다.
