This study was performed to increase the yield and to reduce the processing times for the preparation to improve the productivity and quality of rice jochung, a traditional food in Korea. In order to evaluate the quality characteristics and yield of jochung, the viscosity, color value, mineral contents and the sensory evaluation were measured. Jochung is prepared from steamed rice (STR), wet-milled rice flour (WRF) and dry-milled rice flour (DRF) by processing methods of rice and reacting times (6 hours or 13 hours) of liquefaction and saccharification. There is commonly added liquefying enzyme for rice liquefaction (0.4%/10 kg rice, at $85{\sim}90^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour or 4 hours) and saccharogenic enzyme with malt (2.5% or 4.5%/10 kg rice, at $56{\sim}60^{\circ}C$ for 5 hours or 9 hours). The inner structural properties of WRF showed the more distinct shape regular structure of uncombined starch particles but the DRF closely maintained particles of rice flour observed by SEM. If processing times for liquefation and saccharification were reduced from 13 hours to 6 hours, the yield of jochungs prepared with WRF increased 8%, the DRF 7%, and the STR 3% respectively and the sensory evaluation as well as color values and overall desirability received high scores. The viscosity, color a and b values of jochung processed with WRF for 6 hours were lower than that processed for 13 hours. The viscosity and color a, b value and Ca content were decreased in the jochung processed with WRF or DRF for 6 hours, but Mg, P and K were increased than that of STR. Jochung processed by 0.4% liquefying enzyme and 2.5% malt with WRF for 6 hours will increase the yield, save manufacturing times and costs and will thereby enable cost-effective techniques.

This study was carried out to investigate the antimicrobial resistance pattern and distribution of resistance gene in 44 Enterobacteriaceae and 21 Pseudomonas (P) aeruginosa isolated from hospitalized dogs and cats in animal hospital from 2010 to 2011 in Daegu. Among Enterobacteriaceae, Escherichia (E) coli was highly resistant to ampicillin (56.7%), followed by tetracycline (53.3%), cephalothin, streptomycine, sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim, gentamicin and norfloxacin (40.0~43.3%). The remaining isolates of Enterobacteriaceae had high resistance to ampicillin (64.3%) and streptomycin (42.9%). Whereas, P. aeruginosa was low resistant to all antimicrobials tested (less than 15%). int I 1 gene was detected in 20 (57.1%) of 35 antimicrobial resistant Enterobacteriaceae and 2 (9.5%) of 21 P. aeruginosa., but int I 2 gene was not detected in all isolates. The eight resistance genes were found either alone or combination with other gene (s): $bla_{TEM}$, aadA, strA-strB, clmA, tetA, tetB, sul I and sul II. About 78% of integron-positive isolates were resistance to more than four antimicrobial agents. The findings suggest that class I integrons are widely distributed in E. coli among Enterobacteriaceae from dogs and cats and multi-drug resistance related to the presence of class I integrons. The prudent use of antimicrobials and continuous monitoring for companion animals are required.

This paper describes hierarchically stratifying and analyzing haplotrees of haplogroups from haplotypes on the Y and X chromosomes of human cells for genetic and Korean traditional and genealogical trees. The specific region is Chungcheong province, and the Y-DNA of the paternal lines has high frequency of O3a∗ and O2b∗ in the O group, and the mtDNA of the maternal line has a relatively high frequency of D∗ and M∗ in the L3 group. Each combination of these constructs the family tree of the father lines and mother lines. Genetic distances using Nei's standard genetic distance, are very close relatives of less than 0.1 and close relatives of 0.1 to 0.8. Provided, the distance is more than 1.0, it is difficult to estimate relatives. STR has the identified kinship, and SNP has the personal genetic identification. A scientific stratification of the Korean genealogical tree is created by the three factors.

The present study was performed to quantitatively analyze eleutherosides (B and E) and ${\beta}$-glucan in different plant parts of three cultivars (Chungnam, Gangwon, and Jeju) of Acanthopanax senticosus and Acanthopanax koreanum using HPLC and a commercial enzyme kit. Our results showed high linearity in the calibration curves as the coefficients of correlation ($R^2$) were 0.998 (eleutheroside B) and 0.999 (eleutheroside E), respectively. Eleutheroside B and E were found in stem extracts of A. koreanum cultivated in Jeju (1,122 ${\mu}g/g$, eleutheroside B) and A. senticosus cultivated in Chungnam (2,536 ${\mu}g/g$, eleutheroside E), respectively. However, eleutheroside B was not detected in any part of A. senticosus cultivated in Chungnam. For ${\beta}$-glucan contents, stems of A. senticosus and A. koreanum showed higher than other parts. Furthermore, the ${\beta}$-glucan content in stems of A. koreanum cultivated in Gangwon was significantly higher than in those of other cultivars. These results show that the contents of eleutheroside B, E, and ${\beta}$-glucan were higher in stem extracts of A. senticosus and A. koreanum than other parts. Moreover, our results suggest that the contents of eleutheroside B, E, and ${\beta}$-glucan in A. senticosus and A. koreanum are influenced by cultivation area and the selected part.

This study was conducted to breed a high vitamin $B_{12}$ producer by the fusion of protoplasts between Bacillus natto and Bacillus megaterium. Auxotrophic mutants of Bacillus natto SH-34 ($thr^-try^-rif^r$) and Bacillus megaterium BK-13 ($arg^-ade^-lys^-str^r$) which showed high protease activity and production of vitamin $B_{12}$, respectively, were isolated for the fusion experiment. Protoplasts were induced by incubating the cells with lysis solution containing $500{\mu}/ml$ lysozyme, and the ratio of protoplast and regeneration formation were ranged from 99% and 67%, respectively. Fusion frequencies of fusants between Bacillus natto SH-34 and Bacillus megaterium BK-13 were appeared in the ranges of $1.0{\times}10^{-5}$ under the treatment of 30% PEG 6000 containing 3% PVP. The fusant, MNF-72 showed the highest product yield of $7.85{\mu}g/g-cell\;vitamin\;B_{12}$ in production medium. For the improvement of productivity, the immobilization of fusants with sodium alginate was carried out. In batch and continuous fermentation systems, the productivity were determined to be $0.58{\mu}g/ml.hr\;and\;0.80{\mu}g/ml.hr\;vitamin\;B_{12}$ under optimum condition, respectivity.

Aza-indoles are important pharmacophores that have similar size and biological properties of indole. Here we have synthesized 4- and 7-azaindole tryptamines and showed that they are successfully incorporated in the biosynthesis of monoterepene indole alkaloids (MIAs) to form novel azaindole alkaloids by enzymatic reactions of strictosidine synthase(STR) and strictosidine glucosidase(SDG) monitored by UPLC/MS. By using HPLC equipped with a HPLC photo diode array(PDA) detector, each of the UV spectra of azaindole alkaloids was obtained and characterized. When hydrophilicity of azaindole alkaloids was compared, 4-azaindole alkaloids were more hydrophilic than 7-azaindole alkaloids.

Bislang konnte der Hochregenerativpyrokohlenstoff nur bei hohen Abscheidungstemperaturenvon $2100^{\circ}C-2200^{\circ}C$ hergestellt werden. Daher versuchte es in der vorliegenden Arbeit, ihn bei niedrigeren Abscheidungsternperaturen herzustellen und wurde gefunden, da$\ss$ der Hochregenerativpyrokohlenstoff auch bei der Abscheidungsternperaturen von $1700^{\circ}C$ hergestellt werden kann. Methan wurde in einem nach der Hei$\ss$wandmethode erhitzte Str$\"{o}$mungsrohrreaktor zersetzt und als Substratmaterial wurden gesintertes Aluminiumoxidrohr und impr$\"{a}$gniertes Graphitrohr verwendet. Die senkrechte Stellung der Versuchsanlage erwies sich als g$\"{\u}$nstiger als die waagrechte Stellung derVersuchsanlage. Eigenschaften wie Dichte, R$\"{o}$ntgen feinstrukturparameter und Zugfestigkeit des in der vorliegenden Arbeit hergestellten Hochregenerativpyrokohlenstoffes wurden mit den anderen Pyrokohlenstoffsorten sowie mit den Literaturwerten f$\"{u}$r den Hochregenerativpyrokohlenstoff vergleichend untersucht.

Background: The current conventional serotyping based on antigen-antisera agglutination could not provide a better understanding of the potential pathogenicity of Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Brancaster. Surveillance data from Malaysian poultry farms indicated an increase in its presence over the years. Objective: This study aims to investigate the virulence determinants and antimicrobial resistance in S. Brancaster isolated from chickens in Malaysia. Methods: One hundred strains of archived S. Brancaster isolated from chicken cloacal swabs and raw chicken meat from 2017 to 2022 were studied. Two sets of multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) were conducted to identify eight virulence genes associated with pathogenicity in Salmonella (invasion protein gene [invA], Salmonella invasion protein gene [sipB], Salmonella-induced filament gene [sifA], cytolethal-distending toxin B gene [cdtB], Salmonella iron transporter gene [sitC], Salmonella pathogenicity islands gene [spiA], Salmonella plasmid virulence gene [spvB], and inositol phosphate phosphatase gene [sopB]). Antimicrobial susceptibility assessment was conducted by disc diffusion method on nine selected antibiotics for the S. Brancaster isolates. S. Brancaster, with the phenotypic ACSSuT-resistance pattern (ampicillin, chloramphenicol, streptomycin, sulphonamides, and tetracycline), was subjected to PCR to detect the corresponding resistance gene(s). Results: Virulence genes detected in S. Brancaster in this study were invA, sitC, spiA, sipB, sopB, sifA, cdtB, and spvB. A total of 36 antibiogram patterns of S. Brancaster with a high level of multidrug resistance were observed, with ampicillin exhibiting the highest resistance. Over a third of the isolates displayed ACSSuT-resistance, and seven resistance genes (β-lactamase temoneira [bla_TEM], florfenicol/chloramphenicol resistance gene [floR], streptomycin resistance gene [strA], aminoglycoside nucleotidyltransferase gene [ant(3")-Ia], sulfonamides resistance gene [sul-1, sul-2], and tetracycline resistance gene [tetA]) were detected. Conclusion: Multidrug-resistant S. Brancaster from chickens harbored an array of virulence-associated genes similar to other clinically significant and invasive non-typhoidal Salmonella serovars, placing it as another significant foodborne zoonosis.

Avian pathogenic E. coli (APEC) causes severe economic losses in the poultry farms, due to systemic infections leading to lethal colisepticemia. It causes a variety of diseases from air sac infection to systemic spread leading to septicemia. Secondary infection contains opportunistic infections due to immunosuppression disease. Collibacillosis causes the great problems in the poultry industry in Korea. Thus, it is necessary to identify and classify the characteristics of E. coli isolate of chicken origin to confirm the diversity of symptoms and whether they are transmitted among the farms. Fragment analysis is identify the difference in the number of Variable-Number Tandem-Repeats (VNTRs) for genotyping. VNTRs have repeating structure (Microsatellite, Short tandem repeats; STR, Simple sequence repeats; SSR) in the chromosome. This region can be used as a genetic marker because of its high mutation rate. And various lengths of the amplified DNA fragment cause the difference in the number of repetition of the DNA specific site. The number of repetition sequences indicates the separated size of fragments, so the each fragments can be distinguished by specific samples. The results of the sample show that there is no difference in six microsatellite loci (yjiD, aidB, molR_1, ftsZ, b1668, yibA). There are differences among the farms in relation of the number of repetitions of other six microsatellite loci (ycgW, yaiN, yiaB, mhpR, b0829, caiF). Four (ycgW, yiaB, b0829, caiF) of these six microsatellite loci show statistically significant differences (P<0.05). It means that the analysis using four microsatellite loci including ycgW, yiaB, b0829, and caiF can confirm among the farms. Five E. coli samples in one farm have same SSR repetition at all markers. But, there are significant differences from other farms at Four (ycgW, yiaB, b0829, caiF) microsatellite loci. These results emphasize again that the four microsatellite loci makes a difference in the amplified DNA fragments, enabling it to be used for E. coli genotyping.
