Tannase catalyzes the hydrolysis of gallic acid esters and hydrolysable tannins. Twenty-two Lactobacillus strains with tannase activity were isolated from 7 types of kimchi. A polymerase chain reaction-based assay targeting the recA gene assigned all isolates to either Lactobacillus plantarum or Lactobacillus pentosus. The tannase activities of isolates measured in whole cells and cell-free extracts varied even within each species. The activities of the isolates varied with the assay method, but both methods indicated that isolate LT7 (identified as L. pentosus) showed the highest activity. The results of thin layer chromatography and high performance liquid chromatography, respectively, showed that tannic acid and gallic acid degraded to pyrogallol in resting L. pentosus LT7 cells. Therefore, the putative biochemical pathway for the degradation of tannic acid by L. pentosus implies that tannic acid is hydrolyzed to gallic acid and glucose, with the formed gallic acid being decarboxylated to pyrogallol. This study revealed the possible production of pyrogallol from tannic acid by the resting cell reaction with L. pentosus LT7.

복숭아 수확시기에 낙과한 토양에서 Lactobacillus sp. D4와 D5 균주를 분리하였다. 분리한 Lactobacillus sp. D4와 D5 균주를 동정하기 위하여 형태학적 동정, 생화학적 동정 및 16S rRNA 유전자서열 분석을 수행하였다. 16S rRNA 유전자서열 분석 결과 Lactobacillus sp. D4는 Lactobacillus plantarum subsp. plantarum ATCC $14917^T$과 Lactobacillus pentosus ATCC $40997^T$에 각각 99.05%, 98.98% 일치하였으며, Lactobacillus sp. D5는 Lactobacillus pentosus ATCC $40997^T$, Lactobacillus plantarum subsp. plantarum ATCC $14917^T$에 각각 98.71%, 98.64% 일치하였다. Lactobacillus sp. D4와 D5 균주는 당 이용성 비교에서 Lactobacillus plantarum ATCC $14917^T$과 Lactobacillus pentosus ATCC $8041^T$에 비교하여 다른 결과를 나타내었다. 정확한 동정을 위하여 VITEK MS matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) 분석, multiplex PCR, random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD)-PCR을 수행하였다. 이러한 결과에 근거하여 Lactobacillus sp. D4와 D5 균주는 Lactobacillus plantarum으로 동정되었다.

The pathogenicity and acute toxicity of Lactobacillus (L.) pentosus PL11 from eel (Anguilla japonica) were investigated using male and female Sprague-Dawley rats. The pathogenicity of L. pentosus PL11 was examined after treating the rats with $10^{11}$ CFU/mL, $10^9$ CFU/mL or $10^7$ CFU/mL doses of L. pentosus PL11 culture or 0.85% NaCl (Control) intragastrically. For acute toxicity studies, rats were treated with dried culture broth of L. pentosus PL11 at doses of 5,000 mg/mL, 2,500 mg/mL, 1,250 mg/mL or 625 mg/mL or Lactobacilli MRS broth (Control), and clinical signs or mortalities were monitored for two weeks. The results of the present investigation revealed no mortalities or obvious clinical signs in rats administered with the live bacterial cultures or dried culture broth at any investigated dose level. Also, no significant differences were observed in net body weight gain, gross pathological findings, feed and water consumption and body temperature among the different treatment groups and between the treated and control rats. It can be concluded from the above findings that L. pentosus PL11 is a safe probiotic strain with potential as feed additive to increase the feed efficiency or health of fish.

김치로부터 분리된 젖산균들의 16S rDNA 부분 염기서열 결정 결과, 6균주 중 2균주는 Leuconostoc mesenteroides로, 나머지 균주는 Lactobacillus속으로 재동정되었다. 이들 김치유래 젖산균들은 유제품 유래 젖산균과 마찬가지로 cell-envelope proteinase (CEP)로 추정되는 세포외 proteinase 활성을 보유하고 있는 것으로 나타났고, 젖산균의 CEP 특이적 primer를 제작하여 PCR을 수행한 결과, Leu. mesenteroides로부터는 예상 크기의 PCR 산물이 증폭되지 않았지만 Lactobacillus속 균주들로부터는 예상되는 1.2 kb 의 DNA 단편이 증폭되었다. Lactobacillus pentosus KFR1821의 genomic DNA로부터 증폭된 PCR 산물의 추정 아미노산서열은 Lactococcus lactis subsp. cremoris의 PrtP와 95％, Labtobacillus paracasei subsp. paracasei이 PrtP와 92％의 높은 상동성을 보였다. 증폭된 PCR 산물을 probe로 하여 Southern hybridization을 수행한 결과, Lb. pentosus KFR1821의 CEP 유전자는 chromosomal DNA에 암호화 되어있는 것으로 확인되었다.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of water extract from Artemisiae Argi Folium Fermented with Lactobacillus pentosus (AFL) on hydrogen peroxide production within mouse macrophage Raw 264.7 Cells treated with gallic acid, EtOH, Nicotine, Acetaminophen, and Acetaldehyde. AFL (0${\sim}$400 ug/mL) was treated with gallic acid, EtOH, Nicotine, Acetaminophen, and Acetaldehyde. And the intracellular productions of hydrogen peroxide were measured by dihydrorhodamine 123 (DHR) assay. AFL showed the restoration of the intracellular productions of hydrogen peroxide which were reduced by gallic acid, EtOH, Nicotine, Acetaminophen in Raw 264.7 Cells. AFL could be supposed to have the immunological activity related with macrophage's oxidative burst.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of water extract from Artemisiae Argi Folium Fermented with Lactobacillus pentosus (AFL) on viability of human hepatocyte HepG2 cells treated with hepatotoxicants such as EtOH, gallic acid, nicotine, acetaminophen, acetaldehyde, and lipopolysaccharide. AFL (0~400 ug/mL) was treated with EtOH, gallic acid, nicotine, acetaminophen, acetaldehyde, and lipopolysaccharide. And the viability of HepG2 cells was measured by MTT assay. AFL at the high concentration such as 400 ug/mL showed to increase significantly viabilities of HepG2 cells compared with hepatotoxicants (EtOH, gallic acid, nicotine, acetaminophen, and lipopolysaccharide) only (p<0.05). AFL could be supposed to have the hepatoprotective effect against hepatotoxicants such as gallic acid, EtOH, nicotine, acetaminophen, and lipopolysaccharide at the high concentration.

본 실험은 Lactobacillus spp.와 Bacillus spp. 의 Salmonella typhimurium, E. coli 및 Listeria monocytogenes에 대한 억제활성과 송아지 분변 분리균주의 생장 및 억제활성의 특성을 알아보기 위해 실시되었다.Lactobacillus spp.와 Bacillus spp.의 병원성 세균 Salmonella typhimurium에 대한 억제활성은 Lactobacillus helveticus CU631이 가장 높았고, Bacillus spp.는 활성이 약하였다. 송아지 분변 분리균주를 동정한 결과 Lactobacillus pentosus CU13과 CU05, Pediococcus pentosaceus CUR02, Lactococcus lactis ssp lactis CUM14로 확인되었다. Lactobacillus rhamnosus CU02와 Lactobacillus pentosus CU13의 Listeria monocytogenes에 대한 억제활성에 영향을 미치는 배지성분과 첨가수준은 Tween 80 1.0%, peptone 3.0%, yeast extract 3.0%, glucose 3.0% beef extract 3.0%, NaCl 1.0～3.0%이며, whole cell과 세포벽 물질은 Listeria monocytogenes에 대하여 억제활성을 나타내었다. 억제 성향을 강하게 보인 균체 배양액을 80℃로 열처리한 결과 억제력은 나타나지 않았으나 catalase 및 Proteinase-K 처리는 억제활성에 영향을 미치지 않았다. 이 결과 억제활성 물질은 유기산에 의한 것으로 사료된다. Lactobacillus pentosus CU13과 Lactobacillus rhamnosus CU02의 21균주에 대한 억제 능력을 측정한 결과 병원성균주를 포함한 16균주에서 억제활성을 보였으나 5균주에서는 억제성향을 나타내지 않았다. Escherichia coli O157:H7을 감염시킨 mouse 중 Lactobacillus pentosus CU13을 접종한 경우 다소 체중 회복 현상이 나타났으나, Lactobacillus rhamnosus CU02을 접종한 경우 체중 회복이 빠르게 나타났다.

Lactobacillus pentosus K1-23 was selected from among 25 lactic acid bacterial strains owing to its high inhibitory activity against several pathogenic bacteria, including Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhimurium, S. gallinarum, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Clostridium perfringens, and Listeria monocytogenes. Additionally, among 13 strains of Aureobasidium spp., A. pullulans NRRL 58012 was shown to produce the highest amount of ${\beta}$-glucan ($15.45{\pm}0.07%$) and was selected. Next, the optimal conditions for a solid-phase mixed culture with these two different microorganisms (one bacterium and one yeast) were determined. The optimal inoculum sizes for L. pentosus and A. pullulans were 1% and 5%, respectively. The appropriate inoculation time for L. pentosus K1-23 was 3 days after the inoculation of A. pullulans to initiate fermentation. The addition of 0.5% corn steep powder and 0.1% $FeSO_4$ to the basal medium resulted in the increased production of lactic acid bacterial cells and ${\beta}$-glucan. The following optimal conditions for solid-phase mixed culture were also statistically determined by using the response surface method: $37.84^{\circ}C$, pH 5.25, moisture content of 60.82%, and culture time of 6.08 days for L. pentosus; and $24.11^{\circ}C$, pH 5.65, moisture content of 60.08%, and culture time of 5.71 days for A. pullulans. Using the predicted optimal conditions, the experimental production values of L. pentosus cells and ${\beta}$-glucan were $3.15{\pm}0.10{\times}10^8CFU/g$ and $13.41{\pm}0.04%$, respectively. This mixed culture may function as a highly efficient antibiotic substitute based on the combined action of its anti-pathogenic bacterial and immune-enhancing activities.
