Hydrothermal vents (HTV) provide special environments for evolution of lives independent on solar energy. HTV samples were gained from Tofua arc trench in Tonga, South Pacific. We investigated archaeal diversity enriched using combinations of various electron donors (yeast extract and $H_2$) and electron acceptors [Iron (III), elemental sulfur ($S^0$) and nitrate. PCR amplification was performed to detect archaeal 16S rRNA genes after the cultures were incubated $65^{\circ}C$ and $80^{\circ}C$ for 2 weeks. The cultures showing archaeal growth were transferred using the dilution-to-extinction method. 16S rRNA gene PCR-Denaturing Gradient Gel Electrophoresis was used to identify the enriched archaea in the highest dilutions where archaeal growth was observed. Most of cultured archaea belonged to genus of Thermococcus (T. alcaliphilius, T. litoralis, T. celer, T. barossii, T. thoreducens, T. coalescens) with 98-99% 16S rRNA gene similarities. Interestingly, archaeal growth was observed in the cultures with Iron (III) and nitrate as an electron acceptor. It was supposed that archaea might use the elemental sulfur generated from oxidation of the reducing agent, sulfide. To cultivate diverse archaea excluding Thermococcus, it would be required to use other reducing agents instead of sulfide. 열수구(Hydrothermal vent)는 빛이 없는 환경에서 생명체의 진화가 일어나는 독특한 환경을 유지하고 있다. 남태평양 Tonga의 Tofua arc의 열수구로부터 퇴적물을 채취하여 산화철[iron(III)], 황(elemental sulfur, $S^0$) 그리고 질산염을 전자수용체로 사용하고, 수소($H_2$), yeast extract를 전자공여체로 사용하여 배양에 의한 미생물의 다양성을 연구하였다. 배양 온도는 각각 $65^{\circ}C$와 $80^{\circ}C$였으며, 연속희석배양법과 16S rRNA 유전자의 PCR-Denaturing Gradient Gel Electrophoresis를 분석하고, 검출된 염기서열의 정보분석을 통하여 고세균을 동정하였다. 16S rRNA 유전자의 계통분류학적 분석 결과 배양된 대부분의 고세균은 Thermococcus 속(T. alcaliphilius, T. litoralis, T. celer, T. barossii, T. thoreducens, T. coalescens)에 속하며 그들과 98-99%의 상동성을 가지고 있었다. Thermococcus 속의 미생물들이 일반적으로 이용할 수 없는 질산염과 산화철을 전자수용체로 첨가한 배양에서 관찰되었으나, 이는 환원제로 첨가한 $Na_2S$의 산화물을 이용하여 성장한 것으로 추정된다. Thermococcus 속에 속하는 고세균 외의 다양한 고세균의 배양을 위해서는 $Na_2S$ 대신 다른 환원제를 사용하는 배양조건의 이용이 요구된다.

Proteases are degradative enzymes which hydrolyze a peptide bond between amino acids and they are abundantly applied to commercial field. In order to screen new source of pretense, bacteria secreting extracellular pretense were isolated by enrichment culture from deep sea water samples of East Sea, Korea. A bacterium, named as HJ19, showed the best growth and the largest clear zone in plates supplemented skim milk at $30^{\circ}C$. The partial DNA sequence analysis of the 16S rRNA gene, phenotypic tests and morphology identified that this strain was In genus Micrococcus. The strain HJ19 could not grow at $10^{\circ}C$ but it started growth and showed pretense activity at $20^{\circ}C$. The optimal growth was at $37^{\circ}C$ and the maximal protease activity at $30^{\circ}C$ was about 480unit/ml. 단백질 분해효소는 아미노산간에 존재하는 peptide결합을 절단하는 효소로 산업적으로 많이 사용된다. 이러한 단백질 분해효소의 새로운 공급원을 찾기 위하여 체외 단백질 분해효소를 생산하는 세균을 둥해 심층수로부터 집식배양으로 분리하였다. 이들 중 빠른 성장과 skim milk를 첨가한 배지에서 가장 큰 투명환을 보여준 균주를 HJ19로 명명하였다. 분리균의 형태학적, 생리생화학적 특성과 16S rRNA gene의 염기서열을 조사한 결과 Micrococcus sp.에 속하는 것으로 나타났다. 분리된 Micrococcus sp. HJ19는 $10^{\circ}C$에서는 자라지 못하였으며 $20^{\circ}C$부터 생육과 효소활성을 보여주었다. 최적 생육 온도는 $37^{\circ}C$였으며, 효소 활성은 $30^{\circ}C$에서 약 480 unit/ml의 활성을 보여 주었다.

Proteases are enzymes that break peptide bonds between amino acids of other proteins and occupy a crucial position with respect to their applications in both physiological and commercial fields. In order to screen new source of protease, bacteria producing extracellular proteases at low temperature were isolated from deep sea water of East Sea, Korea. A bacterium showing the best growth rate and production of an extracellular protease at low temperature was designated HJ 47. The DNA sequence analysis of the 16S rRNA gene, phenotypic tests and morphology led to the placement of this organism in the genus Pseudoalteromonas. Although maximal growth was observed at $37^{\circ}C$, enzyme production per culture time was maximum at $20^{\circ}C$. At this temperature, extracellluar protease production was detected from the end of the exponential phage to stationary phase, and maximal at 15 hours after initial production. The optimum temperature and pH of the protease were found to be $35^{\circ}C$ and 8. 단백질분해효소는 다른 단백질들의 아미노산 간에 존재하는 peptide 결합을 절단하며 생리학적, 상업적 측면에서 중요한 위치를 차지하는 효소의 한 부류이다. 이러한 단백질분해효소의 새로운 공급원을 찾기 위하여 비교적 저온에서 체외단백질분해효소를 생산하는 세균을 동해심층수로부터 분리하였다. 분리된 균 중 저온에서의 생육정도와 높은 활성을 가지는 균주를 선별하여 HJ 47이라 명명하였다. 형태학적, 생리생화학적 특성과 16s rRNA gene의 염기서열을 조사한 후 Pseudoalteromonas sp.에 포함하는 것으로 나타났다. 분리된 Pseudoalteromonas sp. HJ 47은 $10^{\circ}C$에서도 비교적 잘 자랐으며, $37^{\circ}C$에서 최적의 생육을 보여 주었다. 최적생육온도와는 달리 배양시간당 최대 체외단백질분해효소의 생산은 $20^{\circ}C$에서 최대였고 대수기 후반과 정지기에 생산이 시작되어 15시간 경과 후 최대의 생산을 보여주었다. 효소활성의 최적온도는 $35^{\circ}C$, 최적 pH는 8로 판명되었다.

단백질 분해효소는 아미노산 간에 존재하는 공유결합인 펩티드 결합을 절단하는 효소이며, 세계적으로 가장 많이 판매되는 효소이다. 해양 심층수로부터 분리된 Micrococcus sp. HJ19의 체외분비 단백질 분해효소를 생산하는 최적의 배지조건을 조사하기 위하여 기본배지로 변형 STY 배지(1% tryptone, 0.15% yeast extract, 0.01% NaCl, 여과살균한 바닷물)를 사용하였다. 탄소원으로 포도당보다 갈락토오스를 사용하였을 때 1.3배로 높은 활성을 보여주었으며, 질소원으로는 casamino acid를 사용하였을 때 가장 낮은 활성을 보여준 반면, 맥아추출물을 사용하였을 때 가장 높은 활성을 나타내었다. 생산된 체외단백질 분해효소는 $35^{\circ}C$에서 최적의 활성을 나타내었으며, 최적 pH는 8.5로 판명되었다. Proteases are degradative enzymes which hydrolyze a peptide bond between amino acids and they are abundantly applied to commercial field. In order to investigate optimal medium compositions of carbon and nitrogen source for enzyme production, modified STY medium containing 0.15% yeast extract were used as basal medium. When galactose was used as carbon source, enzyme activity showed 1.3 higher than that of glucose. For nitrogen source addition of casamino acids to basal medium in place of tryptone showed lowest activity, whereas addition of malt extract showed maximal activity. The optimum temperature and pH of extracellular protease were found to be $35^{\circ}C$ an pH 8.5.

Human have eaten various traditional fermented foods for a numbers of million years for health benefit as well as survival. The beneficial effects of fermented foods have been resulted from complex microbial communications within the fermented foods. Therefore, the holistic approaches for individual identification and complete microbial profiling involved in their communications have been of interest to food microbiology fields. Microbiome is the ecological community of microorganisms that literally share our environments including foods as well as human body. However, due to the limitation of culture-dependent methods such as simple isolations of just culturable microorganisms, the culture-independent methods have been consistently developed, resulting in new light on the diverse non-culturable and hitherto unknown microorganisms, and even microbial communities in the fermented foods. For the culture-independent approaches, the food microbiome has been deciphered by employing various molecular analysis tools such as fluorescence in situ hybridization, quantitative PCR, and denaturing gradient gel-electrophoresis. More recently, next-generation-sequencing (NGS) platform-based microbiome analysis has been of interest, because NGS is a powerful analytical tool capable of resolving the microbiome in respect to community structures, dynamics, and active ties. In this overview, the development status of analysis tools for the fermented food microbiome is covered and research trend for NGS-based food microbiome analysis is also discussed.

Character industry in Korea has a history of less than 20 years by now, as it began in earnest at the end of the 1980s. Domestic character market is estimated to be around 1.2 trillion won occupying mere 0.01% of the world character market of 1,200 trillion won and less than 4% of the Japanese market, according to the calculation made by Korea Animation Producers Association. Local character takes up only 5% of the domestic character market, necessitating the development of the local character and an increase in market share. It is painful to look at the current status of the local character market especially when compared with the huge world market. However, it might be an opportune moment for us to reverse the situation in our favor by a mental switchover. And we need to face up to the reality that the local character industry has many problems, and it is our duty to settle them. What then are the problems caused by the foreign character taking up 90% of the domestic market? Foreign character overwhelming the local market will bring about cultural dependency, emotional confusion, and financial loss caused by the payment of the royalties stemming from the intellectual property rights. The following is suggested as methods of settlement for such problems: 1. Development of character emotionally appealing to the Koreans 2. Development of long-lived character 3. Development of character firmly based on a good scenario 4. Thorough planning & marketing 5. Establishing an institution exclusively governing character business This study discussed the importance of developing long-lived character appealing not only to the Koreans but also to the whole world, that will meet the requirements as stated in 1 & 2 of above. For this purpose Chungmugong General Lee Soon-shin was chosen out of the Korean historical personages for further analysis, trying to rediscover the significance of the character development based on originality.

Sulfur compound includes major electron acceptors for anaerobic respiration. In this study, cultivation-based study on sulfate- and sulfur-reducing bacteria of various wetlands of Korea was attempted. To isolate sulfate- and sulfur-reducing bacteria, anaerobic roll tube method was used to obtain typical black colonies of sulfate- and sulfur-reducing bacteria. Total 11 strains obtained were tentatively identified based on comparative 16S rDNA similarity and physiological property analysis. All sulfate-reducing bacteria (8 strains) belonged to genus Desulfovibrio with >99% 16S rDNA similarities. Three sulfur reducing bacteria were also isolated: two and one isolates were affiliated with Sulfurospirillum and Desulfitobacterium, respectively. These sulfate- and sulfur-reducing bacteria were able to utilize lactate and pyruvate and sulfite and thiosulfate as common electron donors and electron acceptors, respectively. This case study will provide fundamental information for obtaining useful indigenous sulfate- and sulfur-reducing bacteria from Korean wetlands employing various combinations of cultivation conditions. 황화합물은 혐기성환경에서 혐기성호흡을 위한 매우 중요한 전자수용체이다. 본 연구를 통하여 한국의 다양한 습지에서 배양을 통한 황산염/황-환원세균의 특성연구를 실시하였다. 이를 분리하기 위하여 혐기성 roll tube법을 통해 총 11개의 순수 배양체를 확보하였다. 16S rDNA를 이용한 계통분석 및 상동성 분석을 실시하여 Desulfovibrio 속의 세균 8종, Sulfurospirillum 속의 세균 2종, Desulfitobacterium 속의 세균 1종을 얻을 수 있었다. 이들 황산염/황-환원세균은 모두 lactate와 pyruvate를 전자공여체로 이용하였으며, sulfite and thiosulfate를 전자수용체로 이용할 수 있었다. 앞으로, 다양한 전자공여체와 배양조건을 통하여 유용한 절대혐기성 황산염/황-환원세균의 생물자원 확보에 기여할 것으로 기대된다.

최근 빙하의 융해로 인해 빙하 해안 지역에 다양한 토양 미생물과 초목들이 드러나고 있다. 본 연구에서는 북극 스발바르 군도 중앙로벤 빙하 해안 지역으로부터 Ion Torrent Personal Genome Machine(PGM)을 활용한 메타지놈 분석을 통해 세균(bacteria), 고균(archaea), 및 진핵생물(eukaryotes)를 포함하는 다양한 미생물 군집을 분석하였다. 연구에 사용된 토양시료는 빙하 후퇴에 따른 토양의 노출 시기에 따라 2개 지역(ML4 및 ML7)으로부터 수집하였다. ML4 및 ML7 시료의 메타지놈 염기서열을 기반으로 총 2,798,108 및 1,691,859 reads가 각각 미생물 군집 분석에 활용되었다. Domain (계) 수준에서 미생물 군집의 상대 빈도를 분석한 결과 2개 시료 모두 세균(86-87%)이 높은 반면 고균과 진핵생물은 1% 미만으로 존재하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 약 12%의 염기서열은 기존에 분류되지 않은(unclassified) 서열로 분석되었다. 세균의 경우 Proteobacteria(40.3% for ML4 and 43.3%for ML7)와 Actinobacteria(22.9% and 24.9%)가 우점하는 것으로 분석되었다. 고균의 경우에는 Euryarchaeota(84.4% and 81.1%)및 Crenarchaeota(10.6% and 13.1%), 그리고 진핵생물의 경우에는 Ascomycota(33.8% and 45.0%)가 우점하는 것으로 분석되었다. 본 연구를 통해 Ion Torrent PGM 플랫폼을 활용한 메타지놈 분석이 북극의 중앙로벤 빙하 해안 지역의 전체 미생물 군집 구조를 파악하는데 충분히 적용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다. Recent succession of soil microorganisms and vegetation has occurred in the glacier foreland, because of glacier thawing. In this study, whole microbial communities, including bacteria, archaea, and eukaryotes, from the glacier foreland of Midtre Lovenbreen in Svalbard were analyzed by metagenome sequencing, using the Ion Torrent Personal Genome Machine (PGM) platform. Soil samples were collected from two research sites (ML4 and ML7), with different exposure times, from the ice. A total of 2,798,108 and 1,691,859 reads were utilized for microbial community analysis based on the metagenomic sequences of ML4 and ML7, respectively. The relative abundance of microbial communities at the domain level showed a high proportion of bacteria (about 86-87%), whereas archaeal and eukaryotic communities were poorly represented by less than 1%. The remaining 12% of the sequences were found to be unclassified. Predominant bacterial groups included Proteobacteria (40.3% from ML4 and 43.3% from ML7) and Actinobacteria (22.9% and 24.9%). Major groups of Archaea included Euryarchaeota (84.4% and 81.1%), followed by Crenarchaeota (10.6% and 13.1%). In the case of eukaryotes, both ML4 and ML7 samples showed Ascomycota (33.8% and 45.0%) as the major group. These findings suggest that metagenome analysis using the Ion Torrent PGM platform could be suitably applied to analyze whole microbial community structures, providing a basis for assessing the relative importance of predominant groups of bacterial, archaeal, and eukaryotic microbial communities in the Arctic glacier foreland of Midtre Lovenbreen, with high resolution.
