In this study, the diversity of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) in Shindari was determined using a culture-dependent method. LAB were culti- vated from Shindari samples using two different LAB culture media. Twenty-seven strains were randomly selected and iden- tified by 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. The identified LAB strains comprised 6 species within the Enterococcus, Lactobacillus and Pediococcus genera. Five of the species, namely Enterococcus faecium, Lactobacillus fermentum, L. plan- tarum, Pediococcus pentosaceus and P. acidilactici were isolated from MRS medium, while 1 species, L. pentosus, was iso- lated from Rogosa medium. Most of the isolated strains were identified as members of the genus Lactobacillus (78%). This study provides basic microbiological information on the diversity of LAB and provides insight into the ecological roles of LAB in Shindari. Keywords: lactic acid bacteria, indigenous fermented food, Shindari, culture-dependent method The lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are acid-tolerant, low- tural profile of a food item.

  • (1501-1565) Statecraft and Buddhist View in Confucian Joseon*
    Korea Journal, vol. 54, no. 2 (summer 2014): 62-86. 62 © Korean NationalKOREA Commission JOURNAL for / UNESCO,SUMMER 2014 Queen Munjeong’s (1501-1565) Statecraft and Buddhist View in Confucian Joseon* Jongmyung KIM Abstract Queen Munjeong (1501-1565) was a substantial power holder who administered national affairs from “behind the bamboo curtain” during the Joseon dynasty (1392- 1910). The purpose of this article is to examine the relationship between her view on Buddhism and statecraft in sixteenth-century Confucian Joseon. To that end, this study examines Queen Munjeong's Buddhist activities in anti-Buddhist Confucian society, her understanding of Buddhism, and her statecraft in relation to her Buddhist policy. Queen Munjeong did not reject heterodoxy and respected tradition, which served as the logic for her favor of Buddhism. She was a substantial power holder who surpassed royal authority in power and suppressed remonstrators, and her Buddhist activities had strong elements of private character while seeking miraculous efficacy, which eventually resulted in criticism from her contemporary and immediate later generations. Keywords: Buddhism, Confucianism, Joseon, Queen Munjeong, statecraft, suryeom cheongjeong 垂簾聽政 (“politics from behind the bamboo curtain”) * This article was originally presented as “Politics and Buddhism in Sixteenth-century Confucian Joseon” at the 25th Biennial Conference of the Association for Korean Studies in Europe, Moscow, Russia, June 17-20, 2011.
