Transgenic 양서류를 만들기 위한 연구의 일환으로 bacterial $\beta$-galactosidase 유전자를 cytopalsmic actin promoter에 연결시킨 plasmid를 xenopus 수정란에 미세주입하여 외부 DNA의 발현을 조사하였다. $\beta$-gal DNA를 20nl당 1ng에서 2ng의 농도로 미세주입하는 경우, 이 농도는 배발생에 크게 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 유전자 산물인 $\beta$-galactosidase는 양서류의 모든 배엽성 세포에서 발현 가능하고, 정상적인 활성을 나타내므로 외부 DNA의 발현여부를 in situ 상태에서 판명할 수 있었다. 주입된 외부 DNA는 낭배기 시기에 최초로 발현되고, 적어도 올챙이 시기까지 유지 및 발현 가능하며, 초기 발생동안 extrachromosomal 상태에서 발현되는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 발현의 정도는 주입된 개체는 물론 매 실험마다 차이를 보였고, 또한 기질인 X-Gal에 반응하는 부위가 전체 배에 분포하는 겅우는 거의 없으며, 일정 부위에 한정되어 있음이 관찰되었다. 이는 세포막을 통해서 DNA가 다른 할구로 이동하지 못하는 사실에 비추어 미세주입된 DNA가 난할시 각 할구로 균등하게 분포되지 못하고 국부적으로 나뉘어 들어가기 때문인 것으로 사료된다.

[ ${\beta}-Galactosidase$ ] (lactase)를 생산하는 유산균을 선별하고 그들이 생산하는 ${\beta}-galactosidase$의 특성을 조사하였다. X-gal이 포함된 MRS배지에서 푸른색을 나타내는 약 100여개의 콜로니를 김치로부터 분리하였다. 그들 중 ET-1과 LA-12 두 균주를 최종 선별하였으며, 16S rDNa 염기서열 분석을 통해 각 각 Lactobacillus fermentum과 L. acidophilus와 상동성이 높은 Lactobacillus 속으로 동정되었다. 선별된 두 균주는 높은 ${\beta}-galactosidase$ activeity와 우수한 생존력을 나타내었으며, 이들이 생산하는 ${\beta}-galactosidase$의 최적 활성조건을 조사한 결과, 반응온도 $55^{\circ}C$에서 가장 높은 활성을 나타내었으며, 반응 pH의 경우 ET-1은 pH 5.5에서 최고 활성을 나타내었고, LA-12는 pH7.0에서 가장 높은 활성을 보였다. 선별 유산균 ET-1과 LA-12는 위액과 담즙산액에 대해 우수한 내성을 나타내었다. 두 개의 선별 균주는 인공위액에 3시간 배양 후 초기 생균수와 비교하여 생균수 변화가 거의 없었고, 담즙산액으로 사용한 0.3% oxgall에서 24시간 반응 후에도 1 log cycle 정도 감소된 $10^8CFU/ml$의 생균수를 유지하였다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 유산균 ET-1과 LA-12는 유제품 산업에 이용 가능성이 크다고 판단된다.

This paper investigates the production and optimization of $\beta$-galactosidase enzyme using synthetic medium by Kluyveromyces lactis NRRL Y-8279 in stirred tank bioreactor. Response surface methodology was used to investigate the effects of fermentation parameters on $\beta$-galactosidase enzyme production. Maximum specific enzyme activity of 4,622.7 U/g was obtained at the optimum levels of process variables (aeration rate 2.21 vvm, agitation speed 173.4 rpm, initial sugar concentration 33.8 g/L, incubation time 24.0 hr). The optimum temperature and pH of the $\beta$-galactosidase enzyme produced under optimized conditions were $37^{\circ}C$ and pH 7.0, respectively. The enzyme was stable over a pH range of 6.0-7.5 and a temperature range of $25-37^{\circ}C$. The $K_m$ and $V_{max}$ values for O-nitrophenol-$\beta$-D-galactopyranoside (ONPG) were 1.20 mM and $1,000\;{\mu}mol/min{\cdot}mg$ protein, respectively. The response surface methodology was found to be useful in optimizing and determining the interactions among process variables in $\beta$-galactosidase enzyme production. Hence, this study fulfills the lack of using mathematical and statistical techniques in optimizing the $\beta$-galactosidase enzyme production in stirred tank bioreactor.

The promoter region of a carbon starvation gene isolated from Pseudomonas putida was cloned and analyzed for its potential use for in situ bioremediation and bioprocessing. We constructed a recombinant plasmid pMKD101 by cloning the 0.65 kb promoter region of the gene into the promoter proving vector, pMK301, which contains the lacZ for ${\beta}$-galactosidase activity as a reporter gene. pMKD101 was transformed into the wild-type P. putida MK1, resulting in P. putida RPD101, and analyzed for ${\beta}$-galactosidase activity under different culture conditions. When RPD101 was grown on the minimal medium plus $0.1\%$ glucose as a sole carbon source in batch cultures, ${\beta}$-galactosidase activity was found to be 3.2-fold higher during the stationary phase than during the exponential phase. In chemostat cultures, ${\beta}$-galactosidase activity was found to be 3.1-fold higher at the minimal growth rate (dilution rate=$0.05\;h^{-1}$) than at the maximal growth rate (dilution rate=$0.173;h^{-1}$). The results suggest that a carbon starvation promoter can be utilized to maximize the expression of a desired gene under nutrient limitation.

A psychrotrophic bacterium, Arthrobacter sp. ON14, isolated from Antarctica, was shown to exhibit a high ${\beta}$-galactosidase activity at a low temperature. A genomic library of ON14 was constructed and screened for ${\beta}$-galactosidase genes on functional plates containing 5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl-${\beta}$-D-galactopyranoside (X-gal) as the substrate. Two different ${\beta}$-galactosidase genes, named as galA, galB, were found in ON14. Computational analyses of the genes revealed that the encoded protein GalA belongs to family 2 of glycosyl hydrolysases and is a cold-active protein, whereas GalB belongs to family 42 of glycosyl hydrolysases and is a mesophilic protein. Reverse transcription analyses revealed that the expression of galA is highly induced at a low temperature ($4^{\circ}C$ ) and repressed at a high temperature ($28^{\circ}C$ ) when lactose is used as the sole carbon source. Conversely, the expression of galB is inhibited at a low temperature and induced at a high temperature. The purified GalA showed its peak activity at $15^{\circ}C$ and pH 8. The mineral ions $Na^+$, $K^+$, $Mg^{2+}$, and $Mn^{2+}$ were identified as enzyme activators, whereas $Ca^{2+}$ had no influence on the enzyme activity. An enzyme stability assay revealed that the activity of GalA is significantly decreased when it is incubated at $45^{\circ}C$ for 2 h, and all its activity is lost when it is incubated at $50^{\circ}C$.

A gene coding for the $\beta$-galactosidase (lactase) of Kluyveromyces tragilis UCD 55-55 was isolated by complementation in Escherichia coli YMC9. From the plasmid library made from Sau3A-digested chromosomal DNA, one positive clone was selected. The cloned gene for $\beta$-galactosidase was on 7.3 kilobase pair DNA fragment, and a slightly low level of $\beta$-galactosidase enzyme activity was detecied in E. coli. It was also confirmed that the cloned gene comes from K. tragilis by DNA-DNA hybridization and immunochemical blotting experiments. In order to construct a new yeast strain having the metabolic ability for lactose, the cloned gene for K. tragilis $\beta$-galactosidase was inserted in yeast vector YEp24 and YRp17, and transformed into Saccharomyces cerevisiae YNN27 and Ml-2B. The yeast transformants showed the nearly the same $\beta$-galactosidase productivity as level of K. tragilis when uninduced, but these could not utilize lactose as a sole carbon source, presumably due to the lack of lactose transport system. Nevertheless, a slightly higher ethanol productivity was achieved by these transformants than S. cerevisiae or K. tragilis, in the medium containing glucose and lactose.

L. sporogenes의 배양여액으로부터 균체외 $\beta$-galactosidase를 ammonium sulfate fractionation, Sephadex G-200 gel filtration, DEAE-Sephadex A-50 ion exchange chromatography와 hydroxyapatite adsorption chromatography등의 4단계 정제공정을 거쳐 순수하게 정제하였다. 정제효소는 347배 정제되어 비활성이 1,585 units/mg 이었으며 수율은 39.5%였다. Sephadex G-200 gel filtration에 의한 native enzyme의 분자량은 140,000이고 SDS-PAGE 에 의해서는 분자량이 72,000 한가지로 나타났으므로 L. sporogenes의 $\beta$-galactosidase는 동일한 subunit 2개로 구성된 dimer 효소이다.

The structural $\beta$-galactosidase gene (lacZ) from Lactococcus lactis ssp. lactis 7962 was cloned into plamid vector pKF18, which was designated as pKF-gal. Expression of the lacZ from L. lactis 7962 was found to be higher when cells were grown at 3$0^{\circ}C$ than 37$^{\circ}C$. Maximum $\beta$-galactosidase activity was obtained when E. coli/pKF-gal was cultivated for 6hr at 3$0^{\circ}C$ and for 3hr at 37$^{\circ}C$, and L. lactis 7962 was grown for 8hr at 3$0^{\circ}C$. Enzyme induction was achieved by the addition of lactose, galactose, or lactose+IPTG to growing culture. The addition of glucose had no effect on enzyme induction.
