홍삼의 추출물인 50% ethanol extract, crude saponin, 그리고 lipid soluble fraction이 마우스 대식세포의 oxidative burst를 유발할 수 있는지 여부를 알아보고자 in vitro와 in vivo에 각각의 추출물을 처치하고 hydrogen peroxide 생산을 DCFH-DA를 이용한 형광분광광도법으로 측정하였다. 형광분광법에 의한 hydrogen peroxide의 측정을 최적화하기 위한 DCFH-DA의 농도는 3.2$mu extrm{m}$이었고, oxidative burst를 유도하기 위한 zymosan A, PNA의 최적 농도는 각각 100$\mu\textrm{g}$, 250'기호'를 사용하였다. In vitro의 경우, 홍삼의 3가지 추출물은 모두 oxidative burst를 유발하지 못하였지만, zymosan A로 유발한 경우에는 50% ethanol extract에서 가장 높은 hydrogen peroxide를 생산하였다. In vivo 실험에서는, lipid soluble extract에서만 유의하게 증가한(P<0.01) oxidative burst를 유발하였고, ginsenoside(saponin)가 어느 정도 포함되어 있는 50% ethanol extract와 crude saponin은 대조군에 배하여 유의하게 낮은(P<0.05) hydrogen peroxide를 생산하였다. 이는 ginsenoside가 마우스의 nitric oxide 생산을 억제한다는 다른 연구자들의 보고와 일치하는 결과이다. Oxidative burst를 유발한 lipid soluble extract에는 phenol계 화합물, polyactylence계 화합물, 미량성분 등이 함유되어 있으므로 차후 연구를 통하여 과연 어느 성분이 hydrogen peroxide를 증가시키는지 규명하는 것이 필요하다.

Biodiesel is produced through the transesterification process in the presence of alcohol and a catalyst that catalyzes the conversion of triglycerides to esters and glycerol compounds. A more optimal product conversion can be achieved using enzymes, such as lipase. Lipase is reported to be produced in osmophilic yeasts due to the low water content in their natural habitats. Wild forest honey is one of the osmophilic natural habitats in Indonesia. However, lipase-producing yeast has not been reported in the Indonesian honey. In this study, we screened the lipase-producing yeasts isolated from wild forest honey collected from Central Sulawesi. The production profile and activity of lipase were determined at different pH values and temperatures. One promising yeast was isolated from the honey, which was identified as Zygosaccharomyces mellis SG 1.2 based on ITS sequence. The maximum lipase production (24.56 ± 1.30 U/mg biomass) was achieved by culturing the strain in a medium containing 2% olive oil as a carbon source at pH 7 and 30℃ for 40 h. The optimum pH and temperature for lipase activity were 6 and 55℃, respectively. The enzyme maintained 80% of its activity upon incubation at 25℃ for 4 h. However, the enzyme activity decreased by more than 50% upon incubation at 35 and 40℃ for 2 h. This is the first study to report the lipase producing capability of Z. mellis. Further studies are needed to optimize the enzyme production.

Optimization of submerged culture conditions for the production of exo-biopolymer from Paecilomyces japonica ws studied. Maltose, yeast extract, and potassium phosphate were the most suitable sources of carbon, nitrogen, and inorganic salt, respectively, for both production of the exo-biopolymer and mycelial growth. The optimal culture conditions in a flask culture were pH 5.0, $25^{\circ}C$, and 150 rpm in a medium containing (as in g/l) 30 maltose, 6 yeast extruct, 2 polypeptone, $0.5{\;}K_3HPO_4,{\;}0.2{\;}KH_2PO_4,{\;}0.2{\;}MnSO_4{\cdot}5H_2O,{\;}0.2{\;}MgSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O$. Exo-biopolymer production and mycelial growth in the above suggested medium were significantly increased in a 2.5-1 jar fermentor, where the maximum biopolymer concentration was 8 g/l. The morphological changes of the mycelium in the submerged culture were observed within pH ranges from 4.0 to 9.0; i.e., growth of the filamentous form was optimal at culture pHs of 5.0 and 6.0, whereas pellet was formed at other pHs.

Kluyveromyces marxianus var. marxianus isolated as an inulin-assimilating microorganism produces inulin fructotransferase (inulaseII) which catalyses the conversion of inulin into di-D-fructofuranose 1, 2' : 2, 3' dianhydrde (DFAIII). The DFA produced by the organism was isolated by using active carbon column, and identified as DFAIII by high performance liguid chromatography. The culture medium giving maximum inulaseII production was found to consist of 1% sucrose and 0.75% yeast nitrogen base (YNB). The inulasell production was induced by inulin or sucrose as a carbon source and increased by addition of YNB as a nitrogen source. Optimal initial pH of the culture medium, culture temperature and medium volume for the enzyme production were pH 4.7, 30$\circ$C and 140 ml, respectively. Under the optimal conditions described above, the enzyme activity in the culture supematant reached 4.2 units/ml after cultivation for 36 h. The DFAIII was accumulated at 13.25 mg/ml after 48 h of culture in the Jerusalem artichoke tuber medium.

Kinetic data for the acid phase anaerobic digestion were presented in this study and the constants were determined with acid production rate and gas production rate. Process models based on continuous culture theory were used to describe the characteristics of the acid forming microorganisms and to enable further development toward utilization of the process in a more rational manner. Acid phase digestion can be separated with appropriate manipulation of hydraulic retention time in anaerobic digestion. Kinetic analysis of data from the various hydraulic retention times using a phase specific model obtained form the acid phase indicated maximum specific growth rate of 0.40/h, saturation constant of 2,000mgCOD.$\ell$, yield coefficient of 0.35 mgVSS/msCOD utilized and decay constant of 0.04/h for the acid production rate. Similar analysis of data for the gas production rate indicated maximum specific growth rate of 0.003/h, saturation constant of 2,200mgCOD/$\ell$, yield coefficient of 0.035 mgVSS/mgCOD utilized and decay constant of 0.06/h.

Objectives : In this study, the author tried to investigate whether Geonpye-tang(GPT) significantly affects PMA-, EGF- or TNF-alpha-induced MUC5AC mucin production and gene expression from human airway epithelial cells. Materials and Methods : Effects of the agent on PMA-, EGF- or TNF-alpha-induced MUC5AC mucin production and gene expression from human airway epithelial cells (NCI-H292) were investigated. Confluent NCI-H292 cells were pretreated for 30 min in the presence of GPT and treated with PMA (10ng/ml) or EGF (25ng/ml) or TNF-alpha (0.2nM), to assess both effect of the agent on PMA- or EGF- or TNF-alpha-induced MUC5AC mucin production by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and gene expression by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Possible cytotoxicity of the agent was assessed by examining the rate of survival and proliferation of NCI-H292 cells after treatment with the agent over 72 hrs (SRB assay). Results : (1) GPT significantly inhibited PMA-induced and EGF-induced MUC5AC mucin production from NCI-H292 cells. However, GPT did not affect TNF-alpha-induced MUC5AC mucin production. (2) GPT significantly inhibited the expression levels of PMA-, EGF- or TNF-alpha-induced MUC5AC genes in NCI-H292 cells (3) GPT did not show significant cytotoxicity to NCI-H292 cells. Conclusion : This result suggests that GPT can affect the production and gene expression of respiratory mucin observed in diverse respiratory diseases accompanied by mucus hypersecretion. This can explain the traditional use of GPT in oriental medicine. Effects of GPT with their components should be further investigated using animal experimental models that reflect pathophysiology of airway diseases through future studies.

A fungal strain capable of producing extracellular cellulase was isolated from farmland. It was identified as Aspergillus niger, and named Aspergillus niger KKS. Production of cellulase and xylanase by the A. niger KKS was studied through a shake-flask culture. The effects of culture conditions such as inoculum size, temperature, pH, and medium composition on the cellulase and xylanase production were examined. The optimum temperature and pH for the enzyme production were $30^{\circ}C$ and pH 7.0, respectively. The optimized medium was composed of 2.0% (w/v) rice straw, 0.5% (w/v) proteose peptone, 0.5% (w/v) $KH_2 PO_4$, 0.05% (w/v) yeast extract, 0.01% (w/v) $CoSO_4 \cdot 7H_2O$, and 0.05% (w/v) $CuSO$_4$\cdot 5H_2O$. When the strain was incubated with the optimized medium, it gave the activities of endoglucanase, $\beta$-glucosidase, $\beta$-xylosidase, xylanase were 3.80, 4.20, 4.00, 80.0 (IU/mL), respectively. Filter paper and cotton activities were 0.68 and 0.045 (IU/mL), respectively. The results of this study show that A. niger KKS is a potential organism with a wide spectrum of enzyme activities, such as those of $\beta$-glucosidase, $\beta$-xylosidase, and xylanase.
