About Korean Society for Lactic Acid Bacteria and Probiotics

한국유산균프로바이오틱스학회는 2001년 “한국유산균연구회”로 출범하였으며, 2004년 5월에는 '한국유산균학회(Korean Society for Lactic Acid Bacteria)'로 창립 총회를 개최한 이래 본격적인 학술활동을 수행하고 있습니다. 그동안 회원 여러분들의 노고와 성원에 힘입어 매년 괄목할만한 발전을 거듭하고 있으며, 특히 본 학회의 초대 회장인 강국희 박사님께서 중심이 되어 설립한 '아시아유산균학회(AFSLAB)'의 핵심멤버로서 아시아지역 유산균 연구의 중추적인 역할을 수행하면서 국제적인 위상을 높여가고 있습니다. 유산균은 지구상에 인류가 출현한 이래 인간의 건강을 지켜주는 대표적인 유익한 미생물로서 전 세계의 수많은 학자들의 연구에서 나타난 바와 같이 다양한 건강증진 효능이 학술적으로 증명되었고, 근자에 와서 이러한 놀라운 효능들이 우리사회의 주요한 관심사로 대두되면서 본 학회의 역할이 그 어느 때 보다도 중요해지고 있습니다. 미생물 발효의 천국이라 할 수 있는 한반도에서 유산균에 대한 사회적 기대와 요구에 부응하기 위해서 학회 차원의 국내외 심포지엄 개최는 물론 주기적인 세미나 활동을 통해 산ㆍ학ㆍ민ㆍ관ㆍ연의 유기적인 협력체계를 구축하여 정보를 공유하는 한편 학문적 수월성을 제고하고, 관련 산업의 발전을 도모하는 것이 본 학회의 중요한 역할입니다.

Sarcopenia, characterized by the progressive loss of skeletal muscle mass and function, poses a growing public health concern, predominantly affecting the elderly. Recent research has illuminated the pivotal role of the gut-muscle axis in sarcopenia’s pathogenesis, suggesting a complex interplay between gut microbiota, metabolic pathways, and muscle health. This review offers a comprehensive examination of the emerging evidence on the gut-muscle axis, delineating its impact on muscle physiology and the onset of sarcopenia. We explore the bidi...

Many people around the world are stressed by hair loss, and drug-based therapies (minoxidil, finasteride) are available for the treatment of alopecia, but they have several side effects. Therefore, in order to reduce the side effects of anti-hair loss drugs, the use of new treatments using products developed from natural extracts has been emphasized. In this study, we focused on the mechanisms underlying the hair growth-promoting effects of marker compounds of natural herbal extracts. The 32 marker compounds of natural herbal (10 μM) were us...

YS Flora^®, a Comprehensive and Multi-Purpose Collection of Human Gut Microbiome

Minyoung Hong, Sooyoon Cho, Kyoung Jin Choi, Gwanghee Kim, Sang Sun Yoon

Curr. Top. Lact. Acid Bact. Probiotics 2023;9(2):68-80.
https://doi.org/10.35732/ctlabp.2023.9.2.68

Human feces, as a repository of the gut microbiome composed of tens of trillions of microbes, represent the microbial environment within the gut. The composition of the gut microbiota is associated with various diseases, body conditions, and lifestyles, and human-derived strains isolated from feces can be developed into probiotics or live biotherapeutic products (LBPs). YS Flora^® is a collection of human fecal samples from over 300 diverse donors intended for scientific research and healthcare purposes, such as studying gut microb...

https://doi.org/10.35732/ctlabp.2023.9.2.81

Bacillus subtilis MGE 2012 strain was selected for the production of both digestive enzymes, α-amylase and protease, on nutrient agar plates supplemented with starch or skim milk as substrates, and the optimal composition of materials was investigated using combinations of brown rice powder, soybean powder, and rice protein powder. The final fermentation was tested for its antioxidation activity and bifidogenic growth stimulation activity. B. subtilis MGE 2012 simultaneously produced both digestive enzymes, ...

https://doi.org/10.35732/ctlabp.2023.9.2.86

In this study, lactic acid bacteria showing high specific β-glucosidase activity were isolated from kimchi to convert the high molecular weight ginsenosides into low molecular weight ginsenosides in ginseng berry. Among the 120 strains of lactic acid bacteria isolated from kimchi, 42 strains of lactic acid bacteria showing β-glucosidase activity were isolated using the esculin agar method. And as a result of measuring the β-glucosidase activity of the intracellular enzyme fraction, the lactic acid bacterium OG-05 showing high β-glucosidas...
