This study was conducted to isolate and identify xylanase- and cellulase-producing thermophilic bacteria from stacked spent mushroom substrates and to determine the optimal medium conditions for their growth. Bacteria with the highest xylanase and CMCase activities were strain 3 and 201-7. Both of them were identified as Bacillus spp. and named Bacillus subtilis KU3 and Bacillus subtilis KU201-7. The optimal medium condition of Bacillus subtilis KU3 was obtained when 3%(w/v) of yeast extract and 1%(w/v) of maltose were used as nitrogen and carbon sources, respectively. That of Bacillus subtilis KU201-7 was obtained when 0.5%(w/v) of yeast extract and 0.5%(w/v) of CMC were used as nitrogen and carbon sources, respectively.

To increase the efficency of utilizing cellulosic biomass, a potent xylanase producing bacteria was isolated and identified as Bacillus sp. N-25. Extracellular xylanase from Bacillus sp. N-25 was partially purified by ammonium sulfate precipitation, DEAE-Sephadex A-25 and Sephadex G-IOO column chromatographies. The xylanase was single fraction on chromatography and was true xylanase without cellulase activity. The enzyme was stable at pH 6-8 and 80% activity was remained at $50^{\circ}C$ for 30 min, but was inhibited by $Hg^{2+}$, $Ag^{2+}$, and $Mn^{2+}$. From the fact that the major end product was xylose, we suggested that the enzyme is an exo-xylanase which may be a prime candidate for industrial use.

The goal of this study was to identify neurotransmitters in endings (p-endings) presynaptic to low-threshold mechanoreceptive vibrissa afferents in the laminae III/IV of cat trigeminal caudal nucleus (Vc). Rapidly-adapting vibrissa afferents were intra-axonally labeled after electrophysiological identification, and postembedding immunogold staining with antisera against ${\gamma}$-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and glycine was performed, followed by quantitative ultrastructural analysis of p-endings presynaptic to the labeled vibrissa afferent terminals. Sixteen p-endings, which are presynaptic to the HRP-labeled vibrissa afferent terminals, were analyzed in this study: Eight p-endings (50%, 8/16) were immunopositive to GABA but immunonegative to glycine (GABA+ p-ending), and remaining 8 p-endings (50%, 8/16) exhibited immunoreactivity to both GABA and glycine. Bouton volume of the p-endings was not significantly different between the two groups. However, the p-endings differed from each other in relative content of GABA and glycine. These findings suggest that low-threshold mechanoreceptive information conveyed through vibrissa afferent at Vc is presynaptically modulated by GABA and/or glycine, and that degree of presynaptic modulation may differ among each vibrissa afferent terminal.

본 연구는 성숙과의 저장중에 세포벽분해효소가 세포벽을 분해해서 물성의 변화를 유발함으로 일어나는 과실의 연과가 품질과 저장성의 저하 뿐만 아니라 영양적, 경제적 손실을 초래한다는 점을 고려하여 대추의 성숙중에 일어나는 연화현상을 연구하고자 성숙에 따른 경도, 세포벽분해효소의 활성, 세포벽 다당류 pectin질, 비섬유성 중성당 및 조직의 변화를 조사하였다. 경도는 대추의 숙성에 따라 감소하였고, polygalacturonase와 $\beta$-galactosidase의 활성은 각각 변색기와 완숙기에 나타난 이후 급격히 증가하였다. 세포벽 다당류인 pectin질과 알칼리 지용성 hemicellulose는 완숙기가지 증가햐였으나 cellulose는 완숙기에 산가용성 hemicellulose와 cellulose를 제외한 세포벽 다당류의 함량은 다소 감소하였다. 대추의 세포벽 비섬유성 중성당으로 rhamnose, arabinose, xylose, mannose, galactose, glucose가 동정되었고, 성숙동안에 pectin질에서는 arabinose, mannose, galactose와 총 비섬유성 중성당의 함량이 감소하였고, 산가용성 hemicellulose에서는 xylose와 mannose가 뚜렸하게 증가하였으나 중성당은 변화없었으며, 알칼리 가용성 hemicellulose에서는 성숙에 따른 변화가 거의 없었다. pectin질의 경우 수용성 pectin, EDTA 용해성 pectin 및 총 pectin은 성숙중에 증가하는 경향이있으나 불용성 pectin은 감소하는 경향이였으며 과숙기에는 불용성 psctin EDTA용해성 pectin 및 총 pectin의 함량은 모두 현저히 감소하였다. 대추의 성숙중 조직에서는 pectin질로 구성된 중충의 붕괴현상이 뚜렸하게 나타났다.발이 절실히 필요한 실정이다. 이러한 배경으로 본 강연에서는 효소적갈변 저해제의 개발과 그들의 식품가공에의 적용 현환 및 화장품, 의약품으로의 응용에 대해 설명하고자 한다.L주에 비해 S주는 수정후 용과가 더 심하다. 9) 화분관의 행동은 수정력과 완전히 일치된다. 즉 L-selfing, $L{\times}L$, S-selfing, $S{\times}S$등의 부적법 수분에서는 화분관은 화주의 미중에서 정지되지만 $L{\times}S$, $S{\times}L$,에서는 수분 약 40-50분 후이면 화분관은 자방까지 도달된다. 10) S주는 웅본으로 오인되어 있지만 인위적법수분을 하면 수정력이나 화분관의 행동은 L주에서와 동일하다. 11) S화분은 완전하지만 L화분은 약 70%가 내용공허한 Adortive pollen 이다. 12) L화분중 나머지 30%도 S화분에 비해서 염색도가 낮은것이 많고 S화분 같이 농염되는 것은 극히 소수이다. 13) 본장물은 분화가 고도로 진행된 전형적인 이형예작물이여 마치 Dimorphism 에서 Dioecious 에로 이행되는 수가 있다는 것을 표시하는 증거가 되는 것 같다. 다소 높은 산소농도 3%~5% 이산화탄소 농도 5~8%에서 저장하는 것이 효과적일 것으로 판단되었다.철쭉군목으로 대표되나 군단이 하의 군목들은 다소 차이를 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 중간상인이론의 수정이 필요하다고 본다.가\ulcorner 본 논문에서는 표면적 형태에도 불구하고 [-wh]의미의 겹의문사는 병렬적 관계의 합성어가 아니라 내부구조를 지니지 않은 단순한 단어(minimal $X^{0}$ elements)로 가정한다. 즉, [+wh] 의미의 겹의문사는 동일한 구성요 소를 지닌 병렬적 합성어([

The non-starch polysaccharides in the cell wall of rice, glutinous rice, and black rice, were analyzed. They were fractionated into fractions; water-soluble, hot writer-soluble, ammonium oxalate-soluble, sodium hydroxide-soluble, potassium hydroxide-soluble, and the alkali-insoluble, according to the solvent solubility. The dietary fiber contents were 5.4% in glutinous rice, 4.2% in rice and 7.5% in black rice. The sodium hydroxide soluble fibers were abundant in each kind of rice, especially 4.01% in black rice. The water soluble fibers were 80% of dietary fiber in glutinous rice, 66% in rice, 86% in black rice. It was supposed that the content of the water soluble fibers in rice was increased by pounding. Pectic substances in water soluble fibers, hot water soluble fibers, and ammonium oxalate soluble fibers fraction, were 2.4% in glutinous rice fraction,1.59% in rice, and 1.12% in black rice. Alkali soluble fibers were considered as hemicellulose. Black rice contained 5.80% of hemicellulose, which was more than twice as much as glutinous rice(2.58%) and rice(2.22%). Alkali insoluble fibers were considered as cellulose, which showed no considerable difference. Among samples content of uronic acid in glutinous rice, rice and black rice were 0.9%, 0.66%, 1.8% respectively. Uronic acid of black rice was twice more than other samples tested. The fraction of black rice that uronic acid was extracted at most was the fraction of sodium hydroxide. Mono saccharides of the fraction was the glucose, the arabinose, the xylose.

Since industrialization, the production and utilization of various chemicals has contributed to improving the quality of our lives, but the subsequent discharge of massive waste is inevitable, and environmental pollution is becoming more serious every day. Exposure to chemicals as a result of environmental pollution is having a negative effect on human health and the ecosystem, and cleaning up the polluted environment that can affect our lives is a very important issue. Toxic aromatic compounds have been detected frequently in soil, groundwater, and wastewater because of the extensive use of oil products, and phenol, which is used to produce synthetic resins, textiles, and dyes, is one of the major pollutants, along with insecticides and preservatives. Phenol can cause dyspnea, headache, vomiting, mutation, and carcinogenesis. Phenol-degrading bacterium DWB-1-8 was isolated from the activated sludge of textile wastewater; this strain was identified as Comamonas testosteroni by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. The optimal culture conditions for the cell growth and degradation of phenol were 0.7% K₂HPO₄, 0.6% NaH₂PO₄, 0.1% NH₄NO₃, 0.015% MgSO₄·7H₂O, 0.001% FeSO₄·7H₂O, an initial pH of 7, and a temperature of 30℃. The strain was also able to grow by using other toxic compounds, such as benzene, toluene, or xylene (BTX), as the sole source of carbon.

This experiment was conducted to observe the effects of anaerobic cellulolytic bacteria culture (Ruminococcus flavefaciens H-20 and Fibrobactor succinogenes H-23) on in vivo ruminal fermentation characteristics in Hanwoo heifers. Four ruminally cannulated Hanwoo heifers ($221\pm7.5kg$) receiving a basal diet containing 3 kg of mixture hay (tall fescue and ochardgrass) and 2 kg of concentrate per day were in a $4\times4$ Latin square with 21-day periods. Treatments were the basal diet without the culture additive (control), the basal diet plus 50 ml/day of bacteria culture of H-20 and H-23 (1%), 150 ml/day of H-20 and H-23 (3%), and 250 ml/day of H-20 and H-23 (5%). In the whole experimental periods, ruminal pH did not differ between treatments. However, the concentration of ruminal ammonia-N was increased in the 3% treatment relative to control and the 1% treatment at 1 hr post-feeding (p<0.05). Avicelase and CMCase (carboxymethyl cellulase) activities in rumen fluid showed no significant difference among treatments. However, xylanase activity was higher in the 5% (119.49, xylose ${\mu}mol$/ml/min) than the 3% treatment (71.02, xylose ${\mu}mol$/ml/min) at 0 hr post-feeding (p<0.05). Concentrations of ruminal total VFA, acetate, propionate and valerate were unaffected by treatments, while butyrate was higher in the 3% treatment (24.48 mM) than control (15.71 mM) at 1 hr post-feeding (p<0.05). Results indicate that minimum 3% inclusion of cellulolytic bacteria cultures improved ruminal fermentation, especially ammonia-N concentration and butyric acid production.

This study was carried out to develop knock-in vector for EGFP (enhanced green fluorescent protein) expression in porcine $\beta$-casein locus. For construction of knock-in vector using porcine $\beta$-casein gene, we cloned the $\beta$-casein genome DNA from porcine fetal fibroblast cells, EGFP and SV40 polyA signal using PCR. The knock-in vectors consisted of a 5-kb fragment as the 5' recombination arm and a 2.7-kb fragment as the 3' recombination arm. We used the neomycin resistance gene ($neo^{r}$) as a positive selectable marker and the diphtheria toxin A (DT-A) gene as a negative selectable marker. To demonstrate EGFP expression from knock-in vector, we are transfected knock-in vector that has EGFP gene in murine mammary epithelial cell line HC11 cells with pSV2 neo plasmid. The EGFP expression was detected in HC11 cells transfected knock-in vector. This result demonstrates that this knock-in vector may be used for the development of knock-in transgenic pig.
