Sodium alginate was used to immobilize Bifidobacterium breve ATCC 15700 cells. The ability of the Ca-alginate beads to protect the B. breve ATCC 15700 was evaluated under different conditions including alginate concentration, bead size, pH, hydrogen peroxide, and storage period. The survival of the B. Breve ATCC 15700 was estimated in pasteurized yogurt, containing either the immobilized or free cells, throughout the storage period. The survival cells in bead after exposure to acidic solution (pH 3.0) increased with increase of both the alginate gel concentration and bead size. Also, immobilized cells in alginate bead were more resistant than the free cells to hydrogen peroxide, storage period, and the environment inside yogur. When retreated beads with skim milk and nonretreated beads were tested in acidified pH 3.0 TPY media including acetic and lactic acid, the number of viable cells in the retreated bead was approximately 10-fold higher than that of nonretreated beads. This suggests that the skim milk operated as a material decreasing the diffusion of acid and hydrogen perosicde into alginate gels. From this research, it was found that yogurt itself supported immobilized cells with an improved protection from the extreme acidity in yogurt.

구기자-맥문동 막걸리의 미생물 분포와 최적 저장 기간을 확립하기 위하여 먼저 구기자-맥문동 막걸리를 제조한 후 $4^{\circ}C$와 $20^{\circ}C$에 저장하면서 효모, 총 세균 그리고 젖산균의 생균 수 변화를 조사하였다. 발효가 완료되어 $4^{\circ}C$에서 15일간 저장하는 동안 효모 수는 큰 변화가 없었다. 하지만 30일간 저장한 후에는 약 62%가 감소되었다. $20^{\circ}C$에서 수행한 저장 실험에서는 15일간 저장한 후 초기 효모균수의 87%가 감소하였으며 30일간 저장한 후에는 약 95.2%가 감소되었다. 구기자-맥문동 막걸리의 DGGE 분석에 의해 S. cerevisiae와 미동정의 Saccharomyces sp.가 동정되었는데 $20^{\circ}C$에서 저장하였을 때Saccharomyces sp.가 더 빨리 사멸하였다. 저장 기간 중 총 세균 수와 젖산균의 변화 양상은 유사하였다. $4^{\circ}C$에서 저장 하였을 때 저장 15일 시점에서 총 세균 수는 약 64%가 감소하였으나 그 이후 저장 30일까지 총 세균수의 변화는 크게 없었다. $20^{\circ}C$에서 저장하였을 경우에는 초기 세균 수가 저장 15일 시점에서 총 세균수의 약 95%가 감소하였으며 그 이후 저장 30일 시점까지 총 세균수는 크게 변화하지 않았다. DGGE분석을 통해 발효 개시 시점에서는 W. cibaria가 우점균이었다가 점차 L. fermentum과 P. acidilactici가 증가하여 저장 기간 동안 이들이 우점균으로 존재 함을 확인하였다.

반폐쇄만이며 하계동안 저층 빈산소수괴(Hypoxic bottom area)가 형성되는 진해만 일대 해역중의 하나인 원문만에서 해양세균의 계절적 분포와 해양세균이 용존산소소모에 미치는 영향을 알기 위하여 하계동안 미소생물의 전자전달계 활성도(Electron transport system activity)로서 잠재적 산소소모량(potential consumption of oxygen)을 구하였다. 해양세균의 계절별 우점종은 추계('89년 10월)에는 Pseudomonas spp., 동계 ('90년 2월)에는 Serratia spp., 춘계('90년 5월)에는 Acinetobacter spp., 하계('90년 8월)에는 Flavobacterium spp.가 우점하였다. 조사기간동안 생균수는 하계('90년 8월)에 표층, 저층, 저질의 평균치가 각각 $2.12\times10^6cells/ml,\;1.34\times10^6cells/ml,\;1.55\times10^7cells/ml$로 높은 분포치를, 동계에는 표층, 저층, 저질의 평균치가 각각 $2.08\times10^5cells/ml,\;1.54\times10^5cells/ml,\;1.28\times10^6cells/ml$로 낮은 분포치를 보여주었다. 또한 전자전달계 활성(Electron Transport System Activity)으로 잠재적 산소소모량을 조사한 결과 하계동안 수괴에서 미소생물군집의 잠재적 산소소모량은 $232.4-637.5{\mu}l/O_2/l/day$, 이중 세균의 잠재적 산소소모량은 $142.6-432.4{\mu}l/O_2/l/day$로서 수괴의 미소생물군집의 잠재적 산소소모량의 약 $55\%$를 차지하여, 하계동안 저층의 산소소모에 큰 영향을 미침을 알 수 있었으며, 세균의 잠재적 산소소모량은 생균수와 밀접한 관계가 있었다.

In the present study, drop-on-demand two-dimensional patterning of unstained and stained bacterial cells on untreated clean wafers was newly conducted using an electrospray pulsed jet. We produced various spotted patterns of the cells on a silicon wafer by varying the experimental conditions, such as the frequency, flow rate, and translational speed of the electrospray system in a two-dimensional manner. Specifically, the electrospray's pulsed jet of cell solutions produced alphabetical patterns consisting of spots with a diameter of approximately $10{\mu}m$, each of which contained a single or a small number of viable bacteria. We tested the viability of the patterned cells using two visualization methods. This pattering technique is newly tested here and it has the potential to be applied in a variety of cell biology experiments.

Objective: The aim of the study was to evaluate the hepatoprotective activity of the bark extract (Ethanol: Water) in the ratio of (3:1) of Rhizophora mucronata (BERM) by intoxicating the $HepG_2$ cell lines with different toxicants viz, $CCL_4$, Ethanol and Paracetamol with different concentrations of the extract were used. The $HepG_2$ cell lines were subjected to MTT Assay for studying the cytotoxicity. Methods: $HepG_2$ cells were plated using 96 well plate in 10% bovine serum, exposed to different toxicants viz, 2% $CCl_4$, 60% Ethanol and 14 mM Paracetamol respectively. The various test concentrations (18.85, 37.5, 75, 150 and $300{\mu}g/ml$) of bark extract of Rhizophora mucronata was added and incubated for 24 hours. Medium was removed after incubation period and 0.5 mg/ml MTT(3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) was added and again incubated for 4 hours at 37oC. Then MTT was removed the crystals was dissolved in DMSO and absorbance was measured at 570 nm. Results: The result showed that dose dependent increase in percentage of viability at the doses of 18.85, 37.5, 75, 150, $300{\mu}g/ml$. Te results for the $CCl_4$ intoxicated, at $300{\mu}g/ml$ of the concentration of the extract, the % of viable cells was found out to be 99.6%, for Ethanol intoxicated, 97.67%, and Paracetamol induced, 75.37%, IC50 was $21.53{\mu}g/ml$, $12.61{\mu}g/ml$ and $21.42{\mu}g/ml$ respectively. Conclusion: Thus, we conclude that, the extract possesses defensive effect against different toxicants and can be used as an alternate drug for hepatotoxicity.

Spodoptera frugiperda IPLB-SF-21-AE cells were cultivated in a spin-filter bioreactor with continuous perfusion for the recombinant $\beta$-galactosidase production. At the perfusion rate of 0.06 $hr^{-1}$, the maximum cell density of insect cells in this bioreactor system reached 3.5$\times$$l0^6$ viable cells/ml using the Grace media containing 5% FBS and 0.3% Pluronic F-68. The recombinant $\beta$-galactosidase production of 8, 100 units per reactor volume was also achieved at this perfusion rate.

A bacteriocin was isolated from the supernatant fluid of M17G broth culture of Lactococcus sp. HY 449 strain, which showed strong inhibitory activity against the growth of selective indicator strain, Lactobacillus fermentum IFO3023. When the bacteriocin wasa added to the growing indicator cells or cell suspensions, viable cells and optical density were density were decreased, indicating bacteriolytic mode of action. Electron microscopic observation of indicator cells treated with bacteriocin revealed apparent damages on the cell surface and eventual lysis of cell walls.

In this study, the mathematical model that describes blood cell development in the bone marrow (i.e., hematopoiesis) has been studied via the Homotopy Perturbation Method (HPM). The results from the present work compared very well with the numerical solutions from published literature. This work has shown that the HPM is viable for solving delay differential equations born from hematopoiesis problem. The influence of the proliferating cells loss rate, time delay rate and the phase re-entry rate on the population densities of both the proliferating and resting cells were also determined through the underlined procedure.

Campylobacter jejuni was studied for its disinfection by heat-and cold-treatment and UV-irradiation. When C. jejuni was treated by heat, no viable cell was found after 10 min treatment at $55^{\circ}C$, whereas small fraction of cell population was survived after 60 min treatment at $45^{\circ}C$ and $50^{\circ}C$. When they were treated by cold temperature for 30 days, no cell was survived at -$23^{\circ}C$ but about 4 log of the cells were survived at both temperature of $4^{\circ}C$ and -$40^{\circ}C$. When the organisms were UV-irradiated, thier survival rates were proportionally varied to the distance of irradiation. The scanning electron microscopic studies of C. jejuni cells treated by the disinfecting agents revealed that shapes of thecells were deformed from spiral rod into spherical form. The heat-treated cells showed rough and damaged surface on the scanning electron micrographs. In the heat-treated cells, some proteins of high molecular weight appeared to become accumulated in the electrophoretic analysis. The DNAs extracted from the cells treated with the physical agents showed some differences in agarose gel electrophoresis, comparing those of normal cells.
