Eubacterium is one of the predominant bacteria in the human large intestine. currently ES (Eubacterium Selective) medium developed by T. Mitsuoka is commonly used as a selective medium. neomycin sulfate which is one of the selective agents of ES medium inhibited about 50% of the growth of Eubacterium isolated, whereas malidixic acid inhibited only 5% while inhibiting other intestinal bacteria. NES medium which replaced neomycin with nalidixic acid in the ES medium was designed and shown to be better for the isolation and enumeration of Eubacterium sp. than ES medium.

Asaccharolytic Eubacterium균종은 감염 근관에서의 높은 발생 빈도와 독성으로 인해 최근 많이 연구되어지고 있다. 본 연구는 24명의 환자의 감염 근관에서 얻은 22개의 PCR 산물로부터 Eggerthella lenta를 포함한 Eubacterium 균종의 빈도 및 환자의 임상 증상이나 당뇨와의 상관성을 조사한 후 얻은 자료를 토대로 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 22개의 표본 중에서 16개(73%)가 Eubacterium균종을 포함하고 있었으며 이 중 9개의 시편에서 Eubacterium infirmum이 검출되었다. 2. Eggerthella lenta는 어떤 시편에서도 발견되지 않았다. 3, Odds ratio analysis 결과 Eubacterium infirmum은 당뇨병과의 높은 상관성을 보여주었다(OR=9.6, P=0.04).

Carbon monoxide (CO)-utilizing acetogens were enriched and KIST612 isolated from anaerobic digester fluid was selected for its abilities to tolerate high CO and acetate concentration. The isolate KIST612 was identified as Eubacterium limosum based on the morphological and biochemical characteristics, G+C content of DNA and 16S rRNA sequence analysis. E. limosum KIST612 produced acetate and butyrate from CO. The optimum temperature and pH for the growth and acids formations were 37$\cdot $C and 7.0, respectively. The growth rate and acids productivity of E. limosum KIST612 were higher than those of any other known acetogens when CO was used as the sole energy and carbon source.

Intestinal microbial flora comprise one third of the large intestinal contents in human. They play a significant effects through beneficial and harmful action on the human health. This is the first study which examined the composition of the microflora of the general population in Korea. Bacteroides, Bifidobacterium, Eubacterium, Peptostreptococcus, Lactobacillus, Streptococcus, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus, Clostridium perfringens, total aerobic bacteria and total anaerrobic bacteria were counted using various selective and non-selective media. Among the bacteria studied the number of Bifidobacterium were greatest in breast-fed infants(30-90 days old), whereas Streptocuccus and Bifidobacterium in bottle-fed infants. In 20-40 age group Bacteroides were predominant followed by Bifidobacterium and Eubacterium. In early group(over 65 years old) Bacteroides were predominant followed by Eubacterium and bifidobacterium. The frequency and number of Cl. perfringens were highest in dlderly group. These results confirm that the microfloral pattern in large intestine change during the life cycle of humans.

Eubacterium limosum KIST612 was cultured on phosphate-buffered basal medium (PBBM) with carbon monoxide (CO) as the sole energy and carbon source. The initial growth rate of this strain was approximately 0.17~0.25 $h^-1$/ and the $K_s$ value for dissolved substrate was 0.14 mM. CO was limiting during the growth of the bacterium when the CO partial pressure was less than 0.6 atm (0.5 mM dissolved CO). The bacterial growth rate was reduced in the presence of acetate. When sufficient CO was supplied using a gas-lift reactor, the acetate concentration went up to 90 mM in 116 h. Based on these findings, it is suggested that a pressurized reactor be used to develop a process to convert CO-rich gases into multi-carbon compounds.

In this study, we investigated the antimicrobial activity of herbs related with treatments of intestinal diseases against intestinal pathogens under anaerobic broth system. The water extract of Saussurea lappa Clarke and Myristica fragrans Houtt. showed no growth inhibition against tested pathogens(Eubacterium limonsum ATCC 10825, Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, Bacteroides fragilis KCTC 5013, Clostridium perfringens STCC 3627, Staphylococcus aureus KFCC 11764 및 Salmonella typhimurium ATCC 14028). All tested pathogens were not inhibited in broth containing 100$\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$ of Areca catachu L. Water extract but its extract strongly inhibited the growth of Eubacterium limonsum STCC 10825, Bacteroides fragilis KCTC 5013, Clostridium perfringens ATCC 3627 and Salmonella typhimurium ATCC 14028 at 1,000 to 2,000$\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$ of concentration. Escherichia coli ATCC 25922 and Staphylococcus aureus KFCC 11764 hardly grew in broth containing 2,000$\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$ of Terminalia chebula Retz. water extract.

Intestinal bacteria comprise one-third of the contents of the large intestine in humans. Their interactions with the gastrointestinal immune system induce characteristic immunological responses which stimulate or suppress the host's defense system. RAW 264.7 murine cell line was used as a macrophage model to assess the effects of the exposure to the isolated human intestinal bacteria, Bacteroides, Bifidobacterium, Eubacterium, Streptococcus, and E. coli, on NO (nitric oxide), $H_2O_2$(hydrogen peroxide), and cytokines IL (interleukin)-6 and TNF (tumor necrosis factor)-a production. RAW 264.7 cells were cultured in the presence of heat-killed bacteria for 24 h at concentrations of 0-$50\mu$g/ml. Our results showed that Bacteroides and E. coli stimulated IL-6, TNF-$\alpha$, NO, and $H_2O_2$production at high levels even at $1\mu$g/ml, whereas Bifidobacterium, Eubacterium, and Streptococcus showed a low level of stimulation at $1\mu$g/ml, and a gradual increase as the cell concentration increased up to $50\mu$g/ml. This result suggests that gram-negative Bacteroides and E. coli are better able to stimulate macrophage than gram-positive Bifidobacterium, Streptococcus, and Eubacterium. The in vitro approaches employed here should be useful in further characterization of the effects of intestinal bacteria on gastrointestinal and systemic immunity.

The strain KIST612, initially identified as E. limosum, was a suspected member of E. callanderi due to differences in phenotype, genotype, and average nucleotide identity (ANI). Here, we found that E. limosum ATCC 8486^T and KIST612 are genetically different in their central metabolic pathways, such as that of carbon metabolism. Although 16S rDNA sequencing of KIST612 revealed high identity with E. limosum ATCC 8486^T (99.2%) and E. callanderi DSM 3662^T (99.8%), phylogenetic analysis of housekeeping genes and genome metrics clearly indicated that KIST612 belongs to E. callanderi. The phylogenies showed that KIST612 is closer to E. callanderi DSM 3662^T than to E. limosum ATCC 8486^T. The ANI between KIST612 and E. callanderi DSM 3662^T was 99.8%, which was above the species cut-off of 96%, Meanwhile, the ANI value with E. limosum ATCC 8486^T was not significant, showing only 94.6%. The digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH) results also supported the ANI values. The dDDH between KIST612 and E. callanderi DSM 3662^T was 98.4%, whereas between KIST612 and E. limosum ATCC 8486^T , it was 57.8%, which is lower than the species cut-off of 70%. Based on these findings, we propose the reclassification of E. limosum KIST612 as E. callanderi KIST612.

Soymilk was cultured by various human large intestinal bacteria and lactic acid bacteria; Bifidobacterium longum, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Baeteroides fragilis, Eubacterium limosum, Clostridium perfringens and Escherichia coli. Among them, only B. longum utilized raffinose and stachyose actively which are major oligosaccharides present in soymilk by producing active ${\alpha}-galactosidase$ and produced greatest acid. Number of colony forming unit of B. longum reached $1.5{\times}10^{8}$ after 16 hr culture in soymilk. Also Bifidobacterium longum produced the highest level of ${\alpha}-galactosidase,\;{\beta}-galactosidase\;and\;{\alpha}-galactosidase$, in soymilk during culture.
