최근 평화의 댐 건설에 따른 영향으로 다량의 물을 방류하여 미생물 생태계의 큰 변화가 예상되는 파로호에서 미생물 분포 및 활성도에 관하여 1987년 1월부터 11월까지 격월로 조사, 연구하였다. 총 세균수는 $0.3\times 10^{5}-13.1\times10 ^{5}$cells/ml의 비교적 낮은 값을 나타내었으며 3월에 급격한 증가를 보여 $10.7\times 10^{5}-13.1\times10 ^{5}$ cells/ml 의 최고치를 나타애었다. 종속영양세균은 $1.9\times 10^{3}$ - $3.1\times 10^{4}$CFUs/m의 변화를 갖으며 총 세균수의 변화와 유사한 경향을 나타내었다. Alpha-및 beta-glucosidase를 분비하는 세균의 비율은 지역적인 차이보다는 계절적인 변화가 우세하였으며 Phosphatase를 분비하는 세균의 비율은 22.7-63.0%로 최고치를 나타내었다. 전자전달계 활성도는 480-1696${\mu}gO_{2}$/l/day의 변화를 갖으며 지역적으로 유입수에서, 계절적으로 여름에 높았다. 유기연산염의 분해율은 0.4-9.1%/h로 다른 댐보다 낮았으며, 수온이 상승함에 따라 분해율이 커졌으며 Phosphatase를 분비하는 세균의 비율변화와 관계가 있음을 알 수 있였다. 종속영양세균의 생리적 활성도는 여름의 최고치가 8.2%/h로 계절적으로 DOM 증가 에 따른 활성도의 증가가 관찰되었다. 파로호의 급격한 변화는 세균류의 개체수 변화에 큰 영향을 미쳤으냐, 활성도 및 특정호소 분비세균비율에는 영향을 주지 못 하였다. 활성도 및 특정효소 분비비율은 계절적 소장이 뚜렷하여, 식물성플라크톤의 증식과 일차 생산력과의 밀접한 관계를 보였다.

This study was conducted to determine the incidence of microorganisms associated with dressed broiler with intact skin and without skin at different frozen storage periods such as 0, 10, 20, 30 days and to demonstrate the role of packaging and pretreatment chilling on the changes of carcass quality. The values of total viable count (TVC), total coliform count (TCC), total streptococcal count (TStC) and total staphylococcal count (TSC) were determined for meat samples of thigh and breast and swab samples of visceral surfaces of the broilers with intact skin and without skin. It was observed that the values of TVC, TCC, TStC and TSC in both cases of dressed broiler with intact skin and without skin exceeded the International Commission on Microbiological Specification for Foods. However, numbers of microorganisms were considerably decreased during the frozen storage. Packing and prechilled conditions were generally better effective in decrease of the loads of microorganisms than without packing and prechilled conditions, and lower bacterial numbers were also found in dressed broiler with intact skin than that without skin. The highest sensory panel score was obtained at 10 days of frozen storage. These results, thus, indicate that usages of appropriate periods and conditions of frozen storage and packaging systems can minimize the potential health hazards associated with contaminants gaining access to the dressed or processed broilers and improve the quality and shelf life of dressed broilers.

In an artificial pH-gradient batch culture system, the effects of acidification on the species composition of a heterotrophic bacterial community were analyzed. As a result of this study, it was found that total bacteria numbers were not affected by acidification and that the population of hetero-trophic bacteria decreased as pH became lower. The heterotrophic bacteria isolated from the entire pH gradient were 12 genera and 22 species. Among them, 64% were gram negative and 36% were gram positive bacteria. As pH decreased, the distribution rate of gram negative bacteria increased while that of gram positive bacteria decreased. The diversity of genera decreased from 13 to 5 as pH decreased from 7 to 3. The G+C content of all of the 202 isolated strains varied from 22.8 to 77.0%, and increased in interspecies of same genus as pH decreased. As a result of clustering analysis, the diversity index of species ranged from 1.13 to 2.37, and it had lower indices as pH decreased. In order to evaluate the diversity of numbers of sample of different size, a rarefaction method was used to analyze the expected number of species appearance according to pH. The statistical significance of species diversity was verified by the fact that the number decreased at lower pH.

Purpose: This study aimed to examine the prevalence and abundance of 9 representative periodontal pathogens in the saliva samples of periodontally healthy subjects (PH) and patients with periodontitis who underwent supportive periodontal therapy (SPT). The age-specific distribution of these pathogens in periodontally healthy individuals was also analyzed. Methods: One hundred subjects (aged >35 years) were recruited (50 each in the PH and SPT groups) between August 2016 and April 2019. The prevalence and abundance of periodontal pathogens in the PH group were compared with those in periodontally healthy young subjects (94 subjects; aged <35 years), who were included in our previous study. DNA copy numbers of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (Aa), Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg), Tannerella forsythia (Tf), Treponema denticola (Td), Prevotella intermedia (Pi), Fusobacterium nucleatum (Fn), Campylobacter rectus (Cr), Peptostreptococcus anaerobius (Pa), and Eikenella corrodens (Ec) were analyzed using real-time polymerase chain reaction. Results: The detection frequencies of all pathogens, except Aa, were high in the PH and SPT groups. The ranking order of pathogen DNA copy numbers was similar in both groups. In both groups, Fn had the highest abundance, Aa had the lowest abundance. Additionally, Td was significantly more abundant in men than in women in both groups (P<0.05). Compared with the PH group, the SPT group exhibited significantly lower total bacteria and Fn abundance and higher Pg abundance (P<0.05). The age-specific pathogen distribution analysis revealed a significantly low Aa abundance and high Tf and Cr abundance in the PH group. Conclusions: The clinical parameters and microbial profiles were similar between the SPT and PH groups. However, patients with periodontitis require supportive care to prevent recurrence. As the abundance of some bacteria varied with age, future studies must elucidate the correlation between age-related physiological changes and periodontal bacterial composition.

Sacbrood virus (SBV) is one of the main pathogenic RNA viruses of honeybee. SBV is found worldwide and many local strains have been reported, such as kSBV, cSBV, and wSBV. In this study, SBV-specific DNA fragments were cloned and sequenced by reverse-transcription PCR from 4 populations of A. mellifera, 4 sequences from 1 population belonged to the 2134D51 genotype (349 nucleotides, nt) and 12 sequences from 3 populations belonged to the 2100D0 genotype (400 nt) among the 16 determined sequences. A total of 87 points of mismatches were found by comparison with the most similar sequences in GenBank. Seventeen single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) were detected, and 6 SNP-patterns in the 2100D0 genotype and 2 SNP-patterns in the 2134D51 genotype were identified based on SNP positions. In SNP-pattern 2, 10 SNPs were detected, but only 2 SNPs were found in SNP-pattern7. Meanwhile, one SNP-pattern was found from one RNA-sample, multi SNP-patterns were detected from other RNA-samples. Large numbers of SNP variants indicate that vast numbers of point-mutations on SBV have occurred since SBV invaded Korea and that SNP smay have been introduced individually over time. Thorough analysis of SNP variants will not only define the local infection-route, but also the relationships between SNP-pattern and SBV-pathogenic abilities.

This study introduced a chick embryos’ infection model to elucidate the pathogenesis mechanism of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which causes serious diseases in human after ingestion of P. aeruginosa-contaminated animal originated foods. The embryonic chick model is able to give a rapid and relatively inexpensive method to assess bacterial pathogenicity compared to embryos of other vertebrates. Embryos were infected with P. aeruginosa and elastase-deficient P. aeruginosa. After infection with P. aeruginosa cells, total bacterial cell numbers and gelatinase activities in the embryos were compared. Thereafter, precartilage condensation and chondrogenesis were assessed by peanut agglutinin (PNA) binding on day 3 and by Alcian blue staining for sulfated proteoglycans on day 5, respectively. P. aeruginosa significantly increased in embryos, resulting in abnormal limb development, whereas P. aeruginosa defective in elastase activity partly impaired proliferation. In addition, P. aeruginosa-infected chick embryos significantly stimulated the production of matrix metalloproteinases. Several analyses showed that elevated proteases suppressed the proliferation and survival of chondrogenic cells. The results show that this infection model was a useful assay to determine the virulence mechanism of P. aeruginosa in human after intake of microbiologically contaminated foods.

A total of 22 bacterial strains belonging to the phylum Bacteroidetes were isolated primarily from aquatic environments such as seawater, freshwater, lagoon and tidal flat. One of these 22 strains was isolated from ginseng soil. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that 21 strains showed the high sequence similarities(${\geq}98.7%$) to the closest type strains and formed robust phylogenetic clades with closely related species in the phylum Bacteroidetes. One strain, which had been previously classified as Balneola vulgaris in the phylum Bacteroidetes, was identified as a member of the newly described phylum Rhodothermaeota. These strains had not been previously reported in Korea. Here, we report 21 species of 13 genera in the phylum Bacteroidetes and one species in the phylum Rhodothermaeota which were not reported in Korea. Morphological, biochemical, and physiological characteristics, isolation sources, and NIBR deposit numbers are described in the species descriptions.

러시아 바이칼호에서 해빙기에 부유세균과 aggregates에 부착한 세균의 군집구조를 FISH (fluorescent in situ hybridization)방법으로 0 m부터 250 m수심에서 비교 분석하였다. 조사대상은 Eubacteria에 속하는 세균과 class Proteobacteria에 속하는 세균 중 $\alpha$-, $\beta$-, $\gamma$ -group과 Cytophaga-Flavobacterium group,그리고 Planctomycetales였다. 부유세균의 수는 $0.2{\times}10^6\cells{\cdot}ml^-1 to 3.2{\times}10^6 \cells{\cdot}ml^-1$범위였으며, 수심이 깊어질수록 감소하였다. Aggregate에 부착한 세균은 부유세균과 반대로 수심이 깊어질수록 증가하였고, 개체수의 범위는 0.4~$3.3{\times}10^4$ $cells{\cdot}ml^-1$ 이였다. 총세균수에 대한 Eubacteria 수의 비율은 부유세균의 경우 52.3~74.1%, aggregates에 부착한 세균은 39.6~66.7%로 부유세균보다 부착세균에서 그 비율이 낮았으며, 세균의 군집구조 분석 결과에서도 부유세균과 aggregates애 부착한 세균의 군집구조가 다른 양상으로 나타났다. 특히 두 세균의 군집구조는 식물플랑크톤이 밀집해 있는 25 m 수심에서 급격히 변화하여 식물플랑크톤이 부유세균과 부착세균의 군집의 변화에 밀접한 관련이 있는 것으로 확인되었다, Aggregates에 부착한 세균 군집은 수심에 따라 매우 특이한 변화 양상을 나타내었다. $\beta$-proteobacteria group은 수심이 깊어지면서 그 비율이 높아져, 100m에서는 $\beta$-group이 총세균수는 51.8%를 차지하였으나, 250m에서는 $\gamma$-group이 43.8%를 차지하여, 급격하게 우점 group이 변화하였다. 그러나, 부유세균에서는 전혀 다른 군집 구조를 이루고 있었다. 이러한 결과에서 aggregates에 부착한 세균은 부유세균과는 다른 다양성을 이루고, 다른 천이과정을 거치는 것으로 확인되었다.
