During the sporulation stage in Saccharomyces cerevisiae J170, the incorporation of D$^{14}$ C-glucose into starved cells of sporulation stage as well as the vegetative one is appeared higher at pH 6.0. Glucose transport system, in both the vegetative and sporulation stage, is associated with "energy dependent" as the result of repression by such a respiratory inhibitor as 2,4-dinitrophenol. The Km value of glucose uptake in vegetative stage and sporulation stage was 2.1 mM and 2.5 mM respectively, indicating that the glucose is considerably reuqired for vegetative growth. Competition and countertranspoer of glucose by frutose and galactose are more distinct in vegetative stage, comparing with sporulation stage. The main sugar components of yeast cells consists of ribose, mannose, and .apha., .betha.-glucose. Amounts of mannose is lower in the aporulation stage than that in the vegetative stage.ive stage.

In previous paper, it was reported that antibiotic substance such as tetracycline and streptomycin were produced by S'. albus subsp. and S'. globosus. And increase of mycelial growth of two strains, antibiotic production, and changes of pH range are extended to approximately 110-130 hrs in fermenting medium, there-after they decreased with culture period exception of pH range. Two Streptomyces spp. required commonly 4-5% starch as carbon sources and 1.5-2.0% soybean meal as nitrogen sources. However, 0.005-0.01M potassium phosphate dibasic, calcium carbonate (6mg/ml in S.albus subsp. and 2mg/ml in S. globosus), 0.01-0.03M, magnesium sulgate and 0.01M ferric chloride showed as optimal concentration for the growth of 2 strains. Mineral compoments such as zinc, manganese, cobalt, sodium and copper at the level of 10$^{-4}$ -10$^{-6}$ M were observed. Especially, zinc ion showed toxicity to the growth of 2 strains at 0.005M. In relation with pH, there is a little difference in mycelial growth with cultural initial pH.

Stoichiometric mullite ($3Al_2$$O_3$. $2SiO_2$) precursor sol has been prepared by sol-gel method. The effects of the precursor pH and sintering temperature on the synthesizing behavior and morphology of mullite have been studied. Mullite precursor sol was prepared by dissolution of aluminum nitrate enneahydrate (Al($NO_3$)$_3$.9H$_2O) into the mixture of silica sol. Precursor pH of the sols was controlled to acidic condition ($PH\leq$ 1~1.5) and to basic condition ($pH\geq$8.5~9). The synthesized aluminosilicate sols were formed under 20 MPa pressure after drying at $150^{\circ}C$ for 24 hours, and then sintered for 3hours in the temperature range of $1100~1600^{\circ}C$. From TGA/DTA analysis, total weight loss in the aluminosilicate gel of the acidic sample was (equation omitted) 56% and that of the basic sample was (equation omitted) 85%, indicating that the synthesizing temperature of mullite phase for acidic and basic samples was above $1200^{\circ}C$ and $1300^{\circ}C$, respectively. The morphologies of the synthesized mullite were fine and needle-like (or rod-like) for acidic sample, and granular for basic sample that has been sintered above $1300^{\circ}C$. It was found that the morphology of mullite particle was predominantly governed by precursor pH and sintering temperature.

The optimum concentrations of pH, sucrose and vitamins for the growth and tropane alkaloid production of hairy root clone DTLA9 (best growth line) were investigated. The optimum pH in growth and tropane alkaliod production of DTLA9 clone in SH (Schenk and Hildebrandt, 1972) basal medium without growth regulator were pH 6.3 and 6.5, respectively. Also, the optimum sucrose concentration in growth and tropane alkaliod production in the same medium were 3.0 and 2.8%, respectively. The optimum concentrations of ascorbic acid, D-pantothenate, nicotinic acid, pyridoxine, riboflavin, and thiamine on the growth of DTLA9 clone in SH basal medium without vitamins were 0.1 mM, 0.003 mM, 0.07 mM, 0.002 mM, 0.025 mM, and 0.01 mM, respectively. In particular, supplement of 0.1 mM ascorbic acid to SH basal medium without vitamins stimulated the tropane alkaloid production.

This study was performed to investigate the modifying effect of the general (GPA) and the fermented pilose antler (FPA) on experimental hepatocarcinogenesis and Natural Killer cell activity in rats. Specific pathogen free, 5-week male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into four groups. To induce hepatocarcinogenesis, diethylnitrosamine (DEN, 200 mg/kg, i.p.) was used as a tumor initiator and was given in a single dose at experimental onset. All rats were given a partial hepatectomy (PH) at 3 weeks after experimental onset. Sodium phenobarbital (PB, 0.05% in diet), GPA (0.075% in diet) and FPA (0. 075% in diet) were given from 2 to 8 weeks. Group I of the initiation control group was only given DEN. As initiation-promotion group, Group II was given DEN and then PB. Group III and IV were given DEN-PB-GPA and DEN-PB-FPA, respectively. In hematological analysis, as compared with Group I. the number of white blood cells were significantly increased in the GPA (p<0.01) and the FPA treated group (p<0.05), respectively. Natural killer (NK) cell activity by flow cytometer (FCM) analysis was higher in group of treated with the GPA (35%) than that of the FPA (27.5%), but not significant. Result of the immunohistochemical staining of the glutathione S-transferase placental form (GST-p) indicated that the number of and area of the pre-neoplastic lesions was not significantly changed in Group III and IV compared Group II, respectively. In conclusion, the GPA and the FPA treatment significantly increased the number od WBC in peripheral blood, but the enhancing NK activity and the modifying effect on the experimental hepatocarcinogenesis were not observed.

The purpose of this study is to examine obstacles to progress for 20th century Korean mathematics. In 1945, shortly after Korea was liberated from Japan, there were no Korean mathematics Ph.D. holders, less than ten bachelor degree holders, and only one person with a master's degree in mathematics. We investigate the reasons for this. Korea has to overcome such an unforgiving condition and rebuild quality education programs in higher mathematics over the last several decades. These debilitating circumstances in higher mathematics were considerable obstacles in developing a higher level of mathematical research for the mainstream of 20th century world mathematics. We study policy and curriculums of Korean school mathematics in the late 19th and early 20th century, with some educational and socio-political background.

Myosin were prepared from red muscle and white muscle, and their ATPase activities were compared. Ca-ATPase activity of bovine myosin from red muscle was higher than that of myosin from white muscle, while Ca-ATPase activity of chicken myosin from red muscle differed hardly from that of myosin from whitemuscle. Atso EDTA-ATPase activity of bovine red muscle myosin was higher than that of white muscle myosin ,although EDTA-ATPase activity of chicken myosin from red muscle differed hardly from that of white muscle myosin. When myosins were treated with trypsin, bovine myosin from white muscle was hydrolysed moreeasily than red muscle myosin was. Chicken myosin from red muscle , however, was hydrolysed by trypsin more easily than white muscle myosin was.

In early 21st century, universities in Korea has been asked the new roles according to the changes of educational and social environment. With Korea's NURI and Brain Korea 21 project support, some chosen research oriented universities now should produce "teacher of teachers". We look 100 years back America's mathematics and see many resemblances between the status of US mathematics at that time and the current status of Korean mathematics, and find some answer for that. E. H. Moore had produced many good research mathematicians through his laboratory teaching techniques. R. L. Moore was his third PhD students. He developed his Texas/Moore method. In this article, we analyze what R. L. Moore had done through his American School of Topology and Moore method. We consider the meaning that early University of Texas case gives us in PBL(Problem Based Learning) process.

To optimize the preparation process of Jeung-Pyun, an experiment was derived, using a central composite design, to fmd the optimal mixing conditions. The addition of Paecilomyces japonica powder, the volume of Tak-Ju and the second fermentation time were independent variables, with the pH, volume, color, sensory and texture properties of the Jeung-Pyun selected as response variables. As the Paecilomyces japonica powder and fermentation time were increased, the b values and volume after the second fermentation also increased. The color of the Jeung-Pyun became deeper with increases in the Paecilomyces japonica powder and fermentation time, and was deepest on the addition of 30% Tak-Ju. The pH increased with increasing fermentation time of the Jeung-Pyun, and on the addition of 3% Paecilomyces japonica rapidly increased more than with the other groups. The optimal mixing conditions for the best quality Jeung-Pyun, with restricted conditions above a b value of 3, a color intensity above 3, and a volume of 40mQ and a pH of 4.02-4.04 after the second fermentation, were 4.0%, 20% and 45 mins for the Paecilomyces japonica powder, Tak-Ju and second fermentation time, respectively.

Phytase(myo-inositol hexkisphosphate phosphohydrolase ; EC 3.1.3.8) was purified from the mucoas of rat intestinal. The molecular weight of enzyme was determined to be 160kDa by sephacryl S-200 gel filtration. Analysis of the purified enzyme o SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis(SDS-PAGE) showen that it was composed of two different subunits and the molecular weight of its subunit was found to be 70kDa and 90kDa respectively, indicating that this enzyme is hetrodimer. The enzyme activities were activated in the presence of $ MgCl_{2}$, but inhibited by $ZnCl_{2}$, $MnCl_{2}$, and EDTA. The substrates tested, phytase showed the highest affinity for the enzyme at the physiological ph. The Km value for phytic acid(inositol-hexakisphosphate)was 0.31 mM at pH 7.4. rat intestinal mucosa phytase seems to play an important in the metabolism of inositol.
