Abstract

To screen probiotic lactic acid bacteria with potent adhesive property on human colonic mucosa, colonic mucin-binding assay was introduced. This colonic mucin-binding assay actually measures the binding activity of surface lectin-like protein (SLP) on colonic mucin, and the optimal conditions were examined. The optimal pH for colonic mucin coating on plate wells was 4.8, and ${\times}24,000$ diluted solution of commercially available horseradish peroxidase (HRP) conjugated streptoavidin yielded good results, for rapid screening, $5.0\;{\mu}g/mL$ of biotinylated SLP from lactic acid bacteria was optimal, and optimal scintillation time of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethyl benzidine (TMB) was 10 min. These conditions were useful for both rapid selection and quantitative analysis of lactic acid bacteria that have high adhesion property to human intestinal tract. Among 50 strains of lactic acid bacteria, including 32 type culture strains and 18 isolated strains from infant feces, Lactobacillus species FSB-1 isolated from kimchi showed the highest binding activity to colonic mucin. From taxonomical viewpoints based on morphological study, physico-biochemical study, partial 16S rDNA seguencing, and phylogenetic analysis, L. species FSB-1 was identified as Lactobacillus brevis.

인간의 대장내 점막에 대하여 우수한 점착특성을 갖는 probiotic 유산균주를 선별할 목적으로, colonic mucin-binding assay를 고안하고 최적의 분석 조건을 검토한 결과, microtiter plate의 well에 대한 colonic mucin의 부착은 pH 4.8, biotinylated SLP의 농도는 $5.0\;{\mu}g/mL$, 시판 HRP-conjugated streptoavidin은 24,000배 희석용액, TMB의 발색시간은 10분의 조건에서 측정시 최적의 결과를 나타냈다. 동 조건에서 본 assay system을 이용할 경우, 장내 점착능 측정 및 우수 유산균주의 선별에 있어 신속하고 재현성 있는 결과를 제공할 수 있으며, 인간의 대장에 대한 유산균의 점착특성을 정량적으로 분석할 수 있음을 보여주었다. 공시균주 32종 및 유아 분변 유래의 분리균주 18종을 포함한 총 50종의 유산균주에 대하여, colonic mucin-binding assay를 이용하여 대장 mucin에 대한 결합능을 비교한 결과, L. species FSB-1이 가장 높은 결합능을 보여주었다. 따라서 L. species FSB-1을 대상으로 형태학적 특성, 생리 및 생화학적 특성과 16S rDNA에 대한 부분 염기서열 분석을 포함한 동정실험을 수행한 결과, 장내 점착능 우수균주로 선별된 L. species FSB-1은 Lactobacillus brevis로 최종 동정되었다.
