Gul (oyster) jeotgals (GJs) were prepared with solar salt aged for 3 years. One sample was fermented with starters, Bacillus subtilis JS2 and Tetragenococcus halophilus BS2-36 (each 106 CFU/g), and another one without starters for 49 days at 10℃. The initial bacilli and lactic acid bacteria (LAB) counts of non-starter GJ were 3.20 x 102 and 7.67 x 101 CFU/g at day 0, and increased to 1.37 x 103 and 1.64 x 106 CFU/g at day 49. Those of starter GJ were 2.10 x 105 and 3.30 x 107 CFU/g at day 49, indicating growth of starters. The pH of GJ were 5.93 ± 0.01 (non-starter) and 5.92 ± 0.01 (starter) at day 0 and decreased to 5.78 ± 0.01 (non-starter) and 5.75 ± 0.01 (starter) at day 49. Amino-type nitrogen (ANN) increased continuously during fermentation, and 407.19 ± 15.85 (non-starter) and 398.04 ± 13.73 (starter) mg% at day 49. 16S rRNA genes clone libraries were constructed from total DNA extracted from non-starter GJ at day 7, 21, and 42. Nucleotide sequences of Escherichia coli transformants harboring recombinant pGEM-T easy plasmids were analyzed by BLAST. Uncultured bacterium was the most dominant group and Gram – bacteria such as Acidovorax sp., Afipia sp., and Variovorax sp. were the second dominant group. B. amyloliquefaciens (day 7), B. velezensis (day 21 and 42), and B. subtilis (day 42) were observed, but no lactic acid bacteria were detected. Acidovorax and Variovorax species might play some roles for GJ fermentation. Future studies are necessary.
