근권 미생물을 대상으로 뿌리에서의 집락 형성 실험, 풋마름병 방제 효과 그리고 화학 농약에 대한 내성을 검정하여 SKU48-2 균주를 선발하였다. SKU48-2균주는 균체 현탁액$(10^8CFU/ml)$을 처리하였을 때 60%이상의 풋마름병 방제 효과를 나타내었으며, 형태적, 생화학적 특성과 16S rDNA sequence 분석 결과 Bacillus subtilis SKU48-2로 동정되었다. 선발 균주 SKU48-2는 화학 농약에 대해 강한 내성을 가져 토양 내 잔류 농약에 의해 영향을 받지 않을 뿐만 아니라, 화학 농약과의 혼용에 의해서 저농약 사용이 가능하고 미생물제제 단독 사용 시 보다 높은 방제 효과를 기대할 수 있다. SKU 48-2균주가 액상의 배양액 상태에서는 4주 만에 생균밀도가 급격히 감소한 반면, talc, vermiculite와 peat등의 담체 사용 시는 생균밀도가 6개월 간 유지됨이 확인되어 고형 제제화의 기초를 마련하였다.

Active treatment of periodontal disease consists of plaque control by the patient, with root planing and surgery perfomed by the dental practitioner. Chlorhexidine rinse has been the most effective antiplaque agent available today and tetracycline has been the most favored antibiotics. Therefore, the purpose of this study was compared the different effect among groups(saline mouthrinse[group I], 0.125% chlorhexidine mouthrinse [groupII], and 0.125% chlorhexidine mouthrinse containing tetracycline[groupIII]) during the immediate post periodontal therapy. We assessed plaque index, gingival index, papillary bleediing index, gingival crevicular volume, periodontal attachment loss, and periodontal pocket depth in 3 sites per subject. The assessment was made at baseline. At 1 week after scaling, and at 2 weeks after curettage. All groups were clinically and statistically reduced plaque score, gingival score, papillary bleeding score, and gingival crevicular volume at 2 weeks after curettage. Group II was significantly reduced periodontal pocket depth.(P<0.05) At 1 week after scaling, al clinical index scores were reduced but not singificantly difference between the groups.(p>0.05) At 2 weeks after curettage, plaque score, gingival score and papillary bleeding score were significantly difference between the groups.(P<0.05) During the experimental period, gingiva was not damaged and stain of the tongue or teeth were not noted in all groups.

Epicoccum purpurascens stain 5615 AUMC was investigated for its biocontrol activity against root rot disease caused by Pythium irregulare. E. purpurascens greenhouse pathogenicity tests using three leguminous plants indicated that the fungus was nonpathogenic under the test conditions. The germination rate of the three species of legume seeds treated with a E. purpurascens homogenate increased significantly compared with the seeds infested with P. irregulare. No root rot symptoms were observed on seeds treated with E. purpurascens, and seedlings appeared more vigorous when compared with the non-treated control. A significant increase in seedling growth parameters (seedling length and fresh and dry weights) was observed in seedlings treated with E. purpurascens compared to pathogen-treated seedlings. Pre-treating the seeds with the bioagent fungus was more efficient for protecting seeds against the root rot disease caused by P. irregulare than waiting for disease dispersal before intervention. To determine whether E. purpurascens produced known anti-fungal compounds, an acetone extract of the fungus was analyzed by gas chromatography mass spectrometry. The extract revealed a high percentage of the cinnamic acid derivative (trimethylsiloxy) cinnamic acid methyl ester. The E. purpurascens isolate grew more rapidly than the P. irregulare pathogen in a dual culture on potato dextrose agar nutrient medium, although the two fungi grew similarly when cultured separately. This result may indicate antagonism via antibiosis or competition.

In order to use the symbiotic bacteria from ethomophatogenic nematodes as a biological control agent for agriculture, the cultural condition for maintaining phase I and antifungal activity was investigated. Symbiotic bacteria (SB) 1 stain from nematodes were selected from the three strains isolated from entomopathogenic nematodes. The growth of the SB 1 strain in NB, TSB, TY and YS medium was higher than that of the SB 2 and SB 3 strain. The packed cell volume of the SB 1 strain was reduced in NB medium which showed radical pH change. Phase I of the SB 1 strain was maintained in TSB medium after being stored for 2 weeks at $4^{\circ}C$. Culture broth with the SB 1 strain in TSB medium for 6 days and 7 days showed antifungal activities against Rhizoctonia solani KACC 40142, Botrytis cinerea Pers. KACC 40854, and Botrytis cinerea Pers. KACC 41008. Culture broth with the SB 1 strain in TSB medium containing 100 mM L-proline for 5 days showed antifungal activities against Rhizoctonia solani KACC 40142, and Botrytis cinerea Pers. KACC 40854.

A new strain, SD12, was isolated from tannery waste polluted soil and identified as Pseudomonas aeruginosa on the basis of phenotypic traits and by comparison of 16S rRNA sequences. This bacterium exhibited broad-spectrum antagonistic activity against phytopathogenic fungi. The strain produced phosphatases, cellulases, proteases, pectinases, and HCN and also retained its ability to produce hydroxamate-type siderophore. A bioactive metabolite was isolated from P. aeruginosa SD12 and was characterized as 1-hydroxyphenazine ((1-OH-PHZ) by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectral analysis. The strain was used as a biocontrol agent against root rot and wilt disease of pyrethrum caused by Rhizoctonia solani. The stain is also reported to increase the growth and biomass of Plantago ovata. The purified compound, 1-hydroxyphenazine, also showed broad-spectrum antagonistic activity towards a range of phytopathogenic fungi, which is the first report of its kind.

Lipases (triacylglycerol acylhydrolases [EC 3.1.1.3]) are water-soluble enzymes. They catalyze the hydrolysis of fats and oils. A cold-active lipase from marine Bacillus cereus HSS, isolated from the Mediterranean Sea, Alexandria, Egypt, was purified and characterized. The total purification depending on lipase activity was 438.9 fold purification recording 632 U/mg protein. The molecular weight of the purified lipase was estimated to be 65 kDa using sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The optimum substrate concentration, enzyme concentration, pH, and temperature were 1.5 mM, 100 µl, pH 6 and 10℃, respectively. The lipase was tolerant to NaCl concentrations ranging from 1.5 to 4.5%. The lipase was affected by the tested metal ions, and its activity was inhibited by 16% in the presence of 0.05 M SDS. The application of the cold-active lipase for the removal of an oil stain from a white cotton cloth showed that it is a promising biological agent for the treatment of oily wastes and other related applications. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of the purification and characterization of a lipase from marine B. cereus HSS isolated from the Mediterranean Sea.

Background: Free fatty acid-induced lipotoxicity is considered to play an important role in pancreatic β-cell dysfunction. The effect of ginsenosides on palmitic acid-induced pancreatic beta-cells cell death and failure of glucose-stimulated secretion of insulin (GSIS) was evaluated in this study. Methods: Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kit for a rat insulin was used to quantify glucose-stimulated insulin secretion. Protein expression was examined by western blotting analysis. Nuclear condensation was measured by staining with Hoechst 33342 stain. Apoptotic cell death was assessed by staining with Annexin V. Oil Red O staining was used to measure lipid accumulation. Results: We screened ginsenosides to prevent palmitic acid-induced cell death and impairment of GSIS in INS-1 pancreatic β-cells and identified protopanaxadiol (PPD) as a potential therapeutic agent. The protection effect of PPD was likely due to a reduction in apoptosis and lipid accumulation. PPD attenuated the palmitic acid-induced increase in the levels of B-cell lymphoma-2-associated X/B-cell lymphoma 2, poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase and cleaved caspase-3. Moreover, PPD prevented palmitic acid-induced impairment of insulin secretion, which was accompanied by an increase in the activation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ, insulin receptor substrate-2, serine-threonine kinase, and pancreatic and duodenal homeobox-1. Conclusion: Our results suggest that the protective effect of PPD on lipotoxicity and lipid accumulation induced by palmitic acid in pancreatic β-cells.

최근 들어 심미적 목적으로 치아 미백제를 이용한 치아 미백술이 널리 사용되고 있다. 현재까지 치아 미백제의 정확한 기전은 밝혀져 있지 않지만 미백제로부터 여러 가지 방법으로 분해된 free radical의 복잡한 산화작용에 의한 것으로, 치아변색의 원인물질의 화학적 구조가 바뀌어짐으로써 희게 되는 것으로 이해하고 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 치아 미백제에 의한 상아질의 특성변화를 관찰하고 미백제의 안전성을 평가하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 10% carbamide peroxide를 1일에 6시간 2주동안 사람의 소구치 법랑질에 적용한 후 상아질에서 나타나는 형상변화, 경도변화, 조성변화 및 무기질 함량변화를 주사전자현미경(SEM), 미세경도기, FT-Raman 분광기 그리고 전자탐침미세분석기(EPMA)를 이용하여 분석하고 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 법랑질 표면에 도포한 10% carbamide peroxide가 상아질로 침투하여 미친 영향은 증류수에만 담가둔 시료와 비교하였을 때 형상변화의 측면에서는 차이를 발견할 수 없었다. Peritubular dentin과 intertubular dentin의 표면에서는 nanometer range에서 아무런 변화를 발견할 수 없었다. 미백처리한 치아와 증류수에만 담가둔 치아의 상아질에서 통계적으로 유의한 경도의 차이를 발견할 수 없었다. FT-Raman 분석결과 상아질 구성성분 중 어떤 변화도 분광학적으로 관찰되지 않았다. 유기질에 의한 peak와 무기질에 의한 peak 모두 무시 할 수 있을 정도의 Raman intensity 변화만 관찰되었다. 무기질 함량변화를 측정한 결과 아무런 처리도 하지 않은 치아의 상아질, 증류수에만 담가둔 치아의 상아질 그리고 미백후 증류수에 담가둔 치아의 상아질에서 무기질 총량이 각각 $98.73{\pm}1.89,\;98.56{\pm}2.11,\;97.47{\pm}2.51$로 나타났다. 이들 값은 통계학적으로 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 이상의 결과들로 볼 때 10% carbamide peroxide 미백이 상아질에 미치는 영향은 극히 미약하다고 판단되어 상아질에는 안전한 것으로 생각된다.
