Then, after the above plates were cultured in an incubator at 25 ℃ for 24 hours, the individual colonies generated were streaked (streaking) onto other PES agar plates to be isolated as single colonies.

1-2) screening of strains with lower gas production

Colonies of the strain isolated from the above example 1-1 were inoculated into 10ml of MRS broth [ difco. MRS broth (broth) in a test tube containing a dellam tube having a height of 30mm, respectively; bacterial peptone (bactopeptone)10g, beef extract (beef extract)10g, yeast extract 5g, glucose 20g, tween80 (tween80)1g, ammonium citrate 2g, dipotassium hydrogen phosphate 2g, sodium acetate 5g, manganese sulfate 0.1g, magnesium sulfate 0.05g, and distilled water 1L ], followed by static culture at 25 ℃ for 24 hours. The degree of gas production was measured by measuring the height of the gas trapped in the Delamm tube, and strains having a gas production of 10mm or less were selected.

1-3) screening of strains with reduced acid production

The bacterial colonies isolated from the above examples 1-2 were inoculated into 10ml of MRS broth (Difco.

1-4) screening of mannitolStrain with high production amount

The colonies of the strains isolated from the above examples 1 to 3 were respectively inoculated onto 10ml of a minimum medium (bactopeptone 10g, fructose 20g, tween 801 g, ammonium citrate 2g, dipotassium hydrogen phosphate 2g, sodium acetate 5g, manganese sulfate 0.1g, magnesium sulfate 0.05 g/distilled water 1L) containing 2% fructose (fructose), and the amount of mannitol produced was measured after static culture at 25 ℃ for 24 hours. Mannitol production was measured by HPLC, and strains producing mannitol in an amount of at least 16000mg/L were selected.

1-5) identifying the selected strains

The name of the strain selected in examples 1 to 4 was named CJLM119, and its 16srRNA base sequence (SEQ ID NO: 1) was analyzed. As a result, it was confirmed that the 16s rRNA base sequence of CJLM119 strain was 99% identical to the 16s rRNA base sequence of Leuconostoc mesenteroides NRIC 1517 (SEQ ID NO: 2). Thus, the above CJLM119 strain was named "Leuconostoc mesenteroides CJLM 119" and deposited at 10/6 in 2016 to Korean institute of Life engineering (Korean Type culture Collection for Type Cultures) and was given the accession number KCTC13043 BP.

Example 2: comparative gas generating Capacity

In order to compare the gas production degree of leuconostoc mesenteroides CJLM119 screened in example 1 with other leuconostoc mesenteroides strains, leuconostoc mesenteroides KCTC3100 and KCTC3722, which are standard strains of leuconostoc mesenteroides, were used as a control group and the gas production degree was measured. Each strain was inoculated into 10ml of MRS broth in a tube containing a dellam tube having a height of 30mm, and after 24 hours of culture at 25 ℃, the degree of gas production was compared by measuring the height of gas trapped in the dellam tube.

The degree of gas generation is expressed as: "-" in the case of no gas generation, "+" in the case of a gas height of 1mm to 5mm, "+ +", in the case of a height of 6mm to 10mm, "+ + + + + + + +", in the case of a height of 11mm to 15mm, "+ + + + + + + + + +", in the case of a height of 16mm to 25mm, and "+ + + + + + + + +", in the case of a height of 25mm or more.

Example 3: comparison of acid Generation ability

The acid production degree of leuconostoc mesenteroides CJLM119 screened in example 1 was compared with that of leuconostoc mesenteroides KCTC3100 and KCTC3722 as control groups. Each strain was inoculated into 10ml of MRS broth, respectively, and in order to measure the degree of acid production, the pH after stationary culture at 25 ℃ for 24 hours was measured using a pH meter (SevenCompact/Ion S220, MettlerToledo).

As a result, it was confirmed that the acid production amount of leuconostoc mesenteroides CJLM119 was significantly reduced compared to the control strain (table 2).

[ Table 2]

Example 4: comparison of mannitol Generation ability

The mannitol-producing ability of leuconostoc mesenteroides CJLM119 screened in example 1 was compared with that of leuconostoc mesenteroides KCTC3100 and KCTC3722 as control groups. Each strain was inoculated into 10ml of a minimum medium containing 2% fructose (bactopeptone 10g, fructose 20g, Tween 801 g, ammonium citrate 2g, dipotassium hydrogen phosphate 2g, sodium acetate 5g, magnesium sulfate 0.1g, magnesium sulfate 0.05 g/distilled water 1L) respectively, and after culturing at 25 ℃ for 24 hours, the mannitol content in the supernatant was measured by HPLC.

As a result, it was confirmed that the production amount of mannitol of Leuconostoc mesenteroides CJLM119 was increased by 147% and 187%, respectively, as compared with the control group strain (Table 3).

[ Table 3]

Example 5: evaluation of safety of Strain

In order to confirm whether the leuconostoc mesenteroides CJLM119 screened in example 1 can be used as a starter in the production of kimchi, the harmfulness of the strain was analyzed. Specifically, Hemolysis (haemolysis), gelatin liquefaction (gelitiniquefaction), confirmation of harmful metabolite (Ammonia) Production (Ammonia Production) and Phenylalanine deamination (Phenylalanine deaminase) were performed according to the safety evaluation test method proposed by the korean society for biological risk investment.

As a result, it was confirmed that leuconostoc mesenteroides CJLM119 strain was negative in all of the gelatin liquefaction reaction, the production of harmful metabolite (ammonia), the deamination of phenylalanine, and the hemolysis test, and thus the leuconostoc mesenteroides CJLM119 strain was a safe strain that can be administered to human bodies, and the strain could be used in food production (table 4).
