A tyrosinase-immobilized biosensor was developed based on various amine-modified multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWNT) supports for the detection of phenolic compounds. MWNTs with various amine groups were prepared by radiation-induced graft polymerization of glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) onto MWNT supports and the subsequent amination of poly(GMA) graft chains. The physical and chemical properties of the poly(GMA)-grafted MWNT supports and the aminated MWNT supports were investigated by SEM, XPS, and TGA. Furthermore, the electrochemical properties of the prepared tyrosinase-modified biosensor based on MWNT supports with amine groups were also investigated. The response of the enzymatic biosensor was in the range of 0.1-0.9 mM for the concentration of phenol in a phosphate buffer solution. Various parameters influencing biosensor performance have been optimized: binder effects, pH, temperature, and the response to various phenolic compounds. The biosensor was tested on phenolic compounds contained in two different commercial red wines.

1. The oxidizability of $NADPH_2$ by quinones in the presence of $NADPH_2$-diaphorase was tested under aerobic conditions. Also the $^{14}CO_2$-fixation rates were compared when Chlorella suspensions were pretreated with $3{\cdot}10^{-5}M$ cocentration of variou quinones for 10 minutes prior and during the $^{14}CO_2$-fixation period. 2. A close correlation seems to exist between the rate of $NADPH_2$ oxidation by quinones and the $^{14}CO_2$-fixation rate. The effect of quinones on $NADPH_2$ oxidation and $^{14}CO_2$-fixation were in the order of Dichlone>06-K>NQ>BQ. 3. It is postulated that the phytotoxicity of quinones on Chlorella is due to the deprival of $NADPH_2$ consequently inhibiting $^{14}CO_2$-fixation, thus causing death of the cells. 4. The effect of quinones on amino acids biosyn-thesis in Chlorella was one of depressed rates, which was especially noted in the case of dichlone. This would be expected from a consideration of $NADPH_2$ deprival and inhibition of $^{14}CO_2$-fixation. Sucrose synthesis was either not affected or rather stimulated, the reasons of which are not clear at the present time.

This study was performed to develop the new type enzyme immobilization sheet from carboxymethylated refiner mechanical pulp (CRMP) substrate. Enzyme immobilization was attempted to couple carboxyl groups of CRMP with amino groups of the enzyme, trypsin, through the reaction of carbodiimide reagent, 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethyl aminopropyl)-carbodimide (EDC ). Immobilization carrier, water insoluble CRMP fraction (CRMP-IS), was successfully reacted with the enzyme, formed peptide linkage like -CONH- at 1680$cm^{-1}$ / and new ester linkage like -COO$CH_3$, methylester at 1735$cm^{-1}$ /, and produced enzyme immobilized substrate (CRMP-IST). The enzyme immobilized handsheet was prepared by mixing the above chelated enzyme immobilized substrate(CRMP-IST) with kraft pulp by paper sheet machine like papermaking process. The sheet weight and strength were increased with increasing dosage of CRMP-IST, and decreased at more than 10％ mixing of CRMP-IST, but higher than the controls. Concerning activities of immobilized trypsin(CRMP-IST) sheet by caseinolysis, the teared-off sheet with shaking was shown higher enzyme activities than sheet shape without shaking. In conclusion, this enzyme immobilized sheet would be expected easy handling for practical application and reutilization.

Peptides separated from fish paste washing liquid of an Alaska pollak (Theragria chalcogramma) were purified and characterized. The fish paste washing liquid (supernatant) was separated by centrifugation of fish paste homogenate. The fish paste washing liquid of $0.5\%$ concentration was hydrolyzed for 24 hour at $50^{\circ}C$ by immobilized protease in bioreactor and decomposing liquid of protein having $50\%$ decomposing rate (OPA method) was obtained. The crude peptide fractions were obtained from this liquid by Dowex 50w $(H^+)$ column chromatograpy. Purified peptides (SP-fraction peptides) were fractionated by using SP-Sepadex C-25 $(H^+)$ column chromatography. Molecular weights and amino acid compositions of these peptides were estimated by Sephadex G-50 column chromatography and HPLC, respectively. when the washed peptides was eluated with $0.6\~0.9\%\;and\;1.2\~2.0\%$ of NaCl, peptides composed of weakly basic amino acids and strongly basic amino acid were respectively eluted. Molecular weights of each peptide fractions showed the broad distribution from 1,000 Da to 3,000 Da in the order of SP-4>SP-3>SP-2>SP-1. Peptides contained a large quantity of glycine, arginine, glutamic acid, and alanine in the washed peptide and its SP-tractions, respectively.

Fibroblasts are the most common cells in connective tissue and are responsible for the synthesis of extracellular matrix components. The fibrosis associated with chronic inflammation and injury may contribute to cholangiocarcinoma pathogenesis, particularly through an increase in extracellular matrix components, which participate in the regulation of bile duct differentiation during development. Mitochondria produce ATP through oxidative metabolism to provide energy to the cell under physiological conditions. Also, mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress have been implicated in cellular senescence and aging. Alternations in mitochondrial structure and function are early events of programmed cell death or apoptosis and mitochondria appear to be a central regulator of apoptosis in most somatic cell. Clonorchis sinensis, one of the most important parasite of the human bile duct in East Asia, arouses epithelial hyperplasia and ductal fibrosis. Isolated fibroblast from the bile ducts of rats infected by C. sinensis showed increase of cytoplasmic process. In addition, decrease of cellular proliferation was observed in fibroblasts which was isolated from normal rat bile duct and then cultured in media containing C. sinensis excretory-secretory product. However, the effects of C. sinensis infection on the mitochondrial enzyme distribution is not clearly reported yet. Therefore, we investigated the structural change of C. sinensis infected bile duct and mitochondrial enzyme distribution of the cultured fibroblast isolated from the C. sinensis infected rat bile duct. As a result, C. sinensis infected SD rat bile ducts showed the features of chronic clonorchiasis, such as ductal connective and epithelial tissue dilatation, or ductal fibrosis. In addition, fibroblast in ductal connective tissue was damaged by physical effect of fibrotic tissue and chemical stimulation. Immunohistochemically detected mitochondrial electron transferase (ATPase, COXII, Porin) was decreased in C. sinensis infected rat bile duct and cultured fibroblast from infected rat bile duct. It can be hypothesized that the reason why number of electron transferase decrease in fibroblast isolated from the rat bile duct infected with C. sinensis is because dysfunction of electron transport system is occurred mitochondrial dysfunction, increase of ROS (reactive oxygen species) and apoptosis after chemical damage on the cell caused by C. sinensis infection. Overall, C. sinensis infection induces fibrotic change of ductal connective tissue, mutation of cellular metabolism in fibroblast and mitochondrial dysfunction. Consequently, ductal fibrosis inhibits fibroblast proliferation and decreases mitochondrial electron transferase on fibroblast cytoplasm. It was assumed that the structure of bile duct could not normalized and ductal fibrosis was maintained for a long period of time according to fibroblast metamorphosis and death induced by mitochondrial dysfunction.

In order to utilize the agricultural waste products, two strains of mold producing powerful cellulolytic enzyme were sereened from various soils, composts, rotten wood and others. The optimum condition of cellulase production was studied. The results obtained were summarized as follows. 1. Two strains of mold which showed remarkably high cellulolytic activity were identified as Aspergillus niger-SM 6 and Trichoderma viride-SM 10. 2. The highest cellulase production was obtained at pH 5.0-6.0 in 5 days. 3. Cellulase production in strain Aspergillus niger-SM 6 increased with the addition of C.M.C., $(NH_4)_2SO_4$, C.S.L., orange peel powder and rice hull. The rice hull, treated with 3N NaOH at $120^{\circ}C$ for 15 min. and neutralized with various acids, was used. Up to 50% of wheat bran could be substituted by the treated rice hull without any decrease of cellulase activity. 4. In the strain of Trichoderma viride-SM 10, cellulase production increased with the addition of C.M.C., $NH_4NO_3$, Vitamin-free casamino acid and orange peel powder, while the other carbon, nitrogen, phosphate sources, natural nutrients and organic substances gave no remarkable effect.

Fiber-optic biosensor for the detection of organophosphorus compounds in a contaminated water was developed, which was the component of pesticides and agricultural agent. The detection principle of designed sensor was the pH variance induced by a reaction of acetylcholinesterase enzyme inhibited by organophosphorus compounds. The pH variance was detected by the optical system to measure the organophosphorus compounds. Litmus was selected as the pH-sensitive dye suitable to the enzyme reaction and a light source to be detected by the optical system. The enzyme entrapped in Ca-alginate gel was immobilized at the inner wall to maintain the high activity of enzyme and to be reused for a long period. The optical fiber was used to miniaturize and control remotely the sensor system. The He-Ne laser with 632 nm was selected as the light source to prevent light intensity fluctuation by the product. Cheap plastic optical fibers were used as the transmission part of the light and the phototransistor was used as the reception part of light based on the wavelength of He-Ne laser. The proposed fiber-optic biosensor has the linear analytical range of 0 ppm-1.5 ppm with response time of 5 minutes.

In this study, an established enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and immuno-chromatography technique are combined to fabricate an immuno-strip sensor for the detection of S. aureus. The immuno-strip is manufactured by using four different functional membranes. The capture antibody is immobilized on the nitrocellulose membrane due to the high affinity and the capillary action through porous membranes induces a flow of sample. A colorimetric signal is appeared according to the enzyme reaction and is analyzed by the digital camera (qualitative analysis) and home-made image analysis software (quantitative analysis). Under the optimal conditions, samples with S. aureus in the range of $2.7{\times}10^4{\sim}2.7{\times}10^7CFU/mL$ can be detected by the colorimetric method within 30 min.
