Solution casting films of sulfonated poly[styrene-b-(ethylene-r-butylene)-b-styrene] copolymer (sSEBS)-based composite membranes that contained different amounts of organic, nanorod-shaped polyrotaxane were annealed at various temperatures for 1 h. The films' properties were characterized with respect to their use as polymer electrolyte membranes in direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs). Different aspect ratios of polyrotaxane were prepared using the inclusion-complex reaction between $\alpha$-cyclodextrin and poly(ethylene glycol). The presence of the organic polyrotaxane inside the membrane changed the morphology during the membrane preparation and reduced the transport of methanol. The conductivity and methanol permeability of the composite membranes decreased with increasing polyrotaxane content, while the annealing temperature increased. All of the sSEBS-based, polyrotaxane composite membranes annealed at $140^{\circ}C$ showed a higher selectivity parameter, suggesting their potential usage for DMFCs.

Cast Nafion-based composite membranes containing different amounts of organic, nanorod-shaped polyrotaxane were prepared and characterized, with the aim of improving the properties of polymer electrolyte membranes for direct methanol fuel cell applications. Polyrotaxane was prepared using the inclusion-complex reaction between ${\alpha}$-cyclodextrin and poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) of different molecular weights. The addition of polyrotaxane to Nafion changed the morphology and reduced the crystallinity. The conductivity of the composite membranes increased with increasing polyrotaxane content up to 5 wt%, but then decreased at higher polyrotaxane contents. Well-dispersed, organic polyrotaxane inside the membrane can provide a tortuous path for the transport of methanol, as the methanol permeability depends on the aspect ratio of polyrotaxane, which is controlled by the molecular weight of PEG. All of the Nafion-based, polyrotaxane composite membranes showed a higher selectivity parameter than the commercial Nafion films did.

Reactions of Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae to 95 carbon sources in a 96-well microplate (BiOLOG GN MicroPlateTM) were investigated. The bacterium used 9 carbon sources such as D-mannitol, sucrose, etc., but did not use 62 carbon sources such as $\alpha$-cyclodextrin, dextrin, etc. Based on the reactions, a user data base for identification of P. syringae pv. actinidiae was constructed in Biolog program (BiOLOG MicroLogTM 2 system). P. syringae pv. actinidiae isolates collected from kiwifruits could be identified automatically with high similarity using the user data base, which could diagnose rapidly and easily whether the tree was infected with bacterial canker or not.

The hyperthermophilic archaebacterium Thermococcus profundus Isolated from a deep-sea hydrothermal vent system, produced several amylolytic enzymes such as extracellular amylase and pullulanase, intracellular a-1,4-91ucosidase in respone to the presence of complex carbohydrates In the growth medium. This strain showed high activities on 0.5% maltose than on complex carbohydrates One of the amylases was partially purified by ammonium sulfate precipitation, DEAE-Toyopearl chromatography. The amylase exhibited maximal activity at pH 5.5 and 80$^{\circ}C$, and was stable in the range of pH 5.5 to 9.5 and up to 80$^{\circ}C$ for 30 min. The enzyme activity was no dependence on Ca2+ and not inhibited by detergents. The amylase hydrolyzed soluble starch, amylose, amylopectin and glycogen to produce maltose and maltotriose with trace amounts of glucose, but not pullulan and ${\alpha}$-, ${\beta}$-, ${\gamma}$-cyclodextrin. Malto-oligosaccharides ranging from maltotetraose to maltoheptaose were hydrolyzed in an endo fashion.

폴리다이아세틸렌(polydiacetylene: PDA)은 독특한 광학적 특성, 즉 외부자극에 의하여 파란색에서 빨간색으로 색상이 변화하는 동시에 형광이 없던 상태에서 자가형광을 발현하는 특성 때문에 화학, 바이오센서로써 응용하기 위한 많은 연구들이 진행되어 왔다. 특히, 센서의 성능에서 감지하고자 하는 물질에 대한 우수한 민감도는 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 다양한 필터 사이즈를 이용하여 10,12-pentacosadynoic acid(PCDA) 베시클의 크기를 조절함과 동시에 중합온도를 조절하여 ${\alpha}$-사이클로텍스트린(CD)을 검출하여 두 가지 효과가 민감도 향상에 어떤 영향을 미치는지 조사하였다. 필터를 사용하지 않은 베시클과 0.22 ${\mu}m$로 필터한 베시클을 $25^{\circ}C$에서 고분자한 후에 ${\alpha}$-CD(5 mM)와 30분 반응하였을 때 색전이 정도(colorimetric response, CR)가 31.4%에서 74.0%로 증가하였다. 또한, 0.22 ${\mu}m$로 필터한 베시클을 $25^{\circ}C$와 $5^{\circ}C$에서 고분자한 후에 ${\alpha}$-CD(5 mM)와 30분 반응하였을 때 CR값이 74.0%에서 99.2%로 증가하였다. 이는 폴리다이아세틸렌의 크기와 고분자시 온도를 조절함으로써 민감도를 크게 증가시킬 수 있음을 보여준다. 또한, 폴리다이이아세틸렌은 감도 향상이 매우 중요한 바이오물질을 검출하는데 적용될 수 있을 것이다.

The Oomycete Saprolegnia ferax produces an extracellular $\beta$-amylase, Maximum enzyme yield was attained after 7 days of growth in YNB starch medium (pH 6.5) at 25$\circ$C. The amylase was pu- rified 24-fold by ultrafitration, HPLC DEAE column and HPLC gel filtration. The purfied enzyme was a monomeric glycoprotein with a molecular weight of about 44,000 dalton. The pH and temperature optima were 6.5 and 50$\circ$C, respectively. The enzyme was fairly stable up to 50$\circ$C and at acidic pH region (pH 4.0-7.0). The apparent Km and Vmax values of the enzyme against soluble starch were 0.77 mg/ml and 2,174 $\mu$moles/mg protein, respectively. Amino acid analysis indicated that the enzyme was enriched in alanine, glycine, leucine and acidic amino acid. Starch hydrolysis with the enzyme released maltose but not glucose, whereas maltotriose, Schardinger dextrin ($\alpha$-cyclodextrin) and pullulan were not hydrolysed by the enzyme. The enzyme was inhibited by Schardinger dextrin, p-chloromercuribenzoate(PCMB), CU$^{2+}$' and Hg$^{2+}$. Inhibition of the enzyme by PCMB could be reversed by the addition of cysteine and mercaptoethanol.

This study was performed to examine a possible application of the beverage as a bad breath controlling food. To achieve this objective, methods of gas chromatography, electronic nose, sensory analysis and halimeter were used to detect reduction in odor intensities of bad breath caused by the functional beverage as well as its active ingredients. According to results of GC and electronic nose, adding green tea and champignon extracts to bad breath indicators, methylmercaptan and trimethylamine, resulted in significant reduction in headspace concentrations of two indicators. GC results revealed that headspace concentrations of 5 ug/ml of methylmercaptan and 30 ug/ml of trimethylamine added to various concentrations of two extracts were reduced up to $100\%$ after incubating mixtures at $37^{\circ}C$ for 5min. When the functional beverage was properly formulated with green tea extract, champignon extract and $\alpha$-cyclodextrin and evaluated for its deodorizing effect systematically, it also showed distinctive deodorizing activities against bad breath indicators. Conclusively, results obtained from this study might encourage introduction of a new type of bad breath control food in near future.

We first confirmed the involvement of MalQ (4-${\alpha}$-glucanotransferase) in Escherichia coli glycogen breakdown by both in vitro and in vivo assays. In vivo tests of the knock-out mutant, ${\Delta}malQ$, showed that glycogen slowly decreased after the stationary phase compared to the wild-type strain, indicating the involvement of MalQ in glycogen degradation. In vitro assays incubated glycogen-mimic substrate, branched cyclodextrin (maltotetraosyl-${\beta}$-CD: G4-${\beta}$-CD) and glycogen phosphorylase (GlgP)-limit dextrin with a set of variable combinations of E. coli enzymes, including GlgX (debranching enzyme), MalP (maltodextrin phosphorylase), GlgP and MalQ. In the absence of GlgP, the reaction of MalP, GlgX and MalQ on substrates produced glucose-1-P (glc-1-P) 3-fold faster than without MalQ. The results revealed that MalQ led to disproportionate G4 released from GlgP-limit dextrin to another acceptor, G4, which is phosphorylated by MalP. In contrast, in the absence of MalP, the reaction of GlgX, GlgP and MalQ resulted in a 1.6-fold increased production of glc-1-P than without MalQ. The result indicated that the G4-branch chains of GlgP-limit dextrin are released by GlgX hydrolysis, and then MalQ transfers the resultant G4 either to another branch chain or another G4 that can immediately be phosphorylated into glc-1-P by GlgP. Thus, we propose a model of two possible MalQ-involved pathways in glycogen degradation. The operon structure of MalP-defecting enterobacteria strongly supports the involvement of MalQ and GlgP as alternative pathways in glycogen degradation.
