A bacterial strain, initially identified as B1-3, was isolated from cheonggukjang, a traditional Korean dish made from fermented soybeans. Using the Biolog system and 16S rRNA sequence analysis, we identified B1-3 as Bacillus mojavensis. We manufactured a quickly fermented soybean (QFS) food product using the B. mojavensis, and guided by their 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical-scavenging ability. We isolated substances with antioxidative activity from it. Using mass spectrometry (MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques, we isolated 4 compounds from the ethyl acetate (EtOAc)-soluble neutral fraction of methyl alcohol (MeOH) extracts of the QFS food product (genistein, daidzein, 3R,4R-3-methyl-3,4-dihydroxy-2-pentanone, and 3S,4R-3-methyl-3,4-dihydroxy-2-pentanone) and 3 compounds from its acidic fraction (4-hydroxyphenylacetic acid, genistin, and daidzein). Two compounds from the neutral fraction (3R,4R-3-methyl-3,4-dihydroxy-2-pentanone and 3S,4R-3-methyl-3,4-dihydroxy-2-pentanone) were not detected in nonfermented soybeans (NFS) or in the filtrate of the LB broth used to culture B. mojavensis. However, they were detected in the filtrate of the same broth when it contained 2% glucose. These results suggest that these 2 compounds were derived from glucose (or other saccharides) in the soybean during fermentation. One compound that was found in the acidic fraction (4-hydroxyphenylacetic acid) was readily detected in NFS, but not in the culture broth. This suggests that 4-hydroxyphenylacetic acid was derived from NFS. We concluded that the antioxidative activity of cheonggukjang is a result of the interactions between soybean components and the microorganisms used in the fermentation of cheonggukjang.

길항미생물 MP-1은 여러 종의 곰팡이와 효모 및 음식물을 부패시키는 세균 (그람양성 및 음성) 에 대하여 항균활성을 보였다. MP-1의 16S rRNA gene 염기서열은 기존에 밝혀진 Brukholderia sp.의 염기서열과 99-100% 유사하였다. 배양액으로부터의 항균물질은 에틸아세테이트 (EtOAc)를 사용하여 분리하였으며 EtOAc에 용해된 산성 분획은 silica gel, Sephadex LH-20, ODS 컬럼크로마토 그래피 및 HPLC를 사용하여서 정제를 실시 하였다. 최종적으로 Gas chromatographic-mass 스펙트럼을 통한 분석을 통하여 4 종의 항균 활성을 나타내는 물질은 phenylacetic acid, hydrocinnamic acid, 4-hydroxyphenylacetic acid 및 4-hydroxyphenylacetate methyl ester로 확인 되었다. 각각의 항균 활성물질들의 미생물에 대한 최소저해농도(MIC)는 $250{\sim}2500ug\;ml^{-1}$ 인 것으로 나타났다. 또한 6 mm paper disc 에서의 1mg (건물중) 산성 분획의 항균활성은 같은 비율로 혼합한 표준혼합용액 보다 더 효과적인 것으로 나타났다.

Coumarin and its derivatives occur widely in nature. Many attempts were made for synthesis of various coumarin derivatives because of their interesting biological activities. In this study, solid phase synthetic approach of 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)coumarin was achieved for combinatorial synthesis of substituted 3-phenylcoumarin analogues. Starting from 4-hydroxyphenylacetic acid methyl ester, release of 3-(4-hydroxypnehyl)coumarin from polymer support was accom-plished.

To classify Glycyrrhiza species, samples of different species were analyzed by $^1H$ NMR-based metabolomics technique. Partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) was used as the multivariate statistical analysis of the 1H NMR data sets. There was a clear separation between various Glycyrrhiza species in the PLS-DA derived score plots. The PLS-DA model was validated, and the key metabolites contributing to the separation in the score plots of various Glycyrrhiza species were lactic acid, alanine, arginine, proline, malic acid, asparagine, choline, glycine, glucose, sucrose, 4-hydroxy-phenylacetic acid, and formic acid. The compounds present at relatively high levels were glucose, and 4-hydroxyphenylacetic acid in G. glabra; lactic acid, alanine, and proline in G. inflata; and arginine, malic acid, and sucrose in G. uralensis. This is the first study to perform the global metabolomic profiling and differentiation of Glycyrrhiza species using $^1H$ NMR and multivariate statistical analysis.

A bacterium capable of producing melanin pigment in the presence of L-tyrosine was isolated from a crop field soil sample and identified as Klebsiella sp. GSK based on morphological, biochemical, and 16S rDNA sequencing. The polymerization of this pigment occurs outside the cell wall, which has a granular structure as melanin ghosts. Chemical characterization of the pigment particles showed then to be acid resistant, alkali soluble, and insoluble in most of the organic solvents and water. The pigment got bleached when subjected to the action of oxidants as well as reductants. This pigment was precipitated with $FeCl_3$, ammoniacal silver nitrate, and potassium ferricynide. The pigment showed high absorbance in the UV region and decreased absorbance when shifted towards the visible region. The melanin pigment was further charecterized by FT-IR and EPR spectroscopies. A key enzyme, 4-hydroxyphenylacetic acid hydroxylase, that catalyzes the formation of melanin pigment by hydroxylation of L-tyrosine was detected in this bacterium. Inhibition studies with specific inhibitors, kojic acid and KCN, proved that melanin is synthesized by the DOPA-melanin pathway.

Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench.) is one of the most important crops for human and animal nutrition. Nonetheless, sorghum has a cyanogenic glucoside compound which can be degraded into hydrogen cyanide, toxic to humans and animals even with tiny amount. In consequence, breeding materials with a low cyanide level has been a top priority in sorghum breeding programs. To fulfill our long-term goal, we are screening sorghum accessions with low cyanide level, which would be an important breeding material for food safety. We collected seeds of various sorghum accessions and analyzed relevant metabolites to find useful breeding materials of sorghum accessions containing low cyanide. Fourteen wild relatives were obtained from the University of Georgia in US, a reference accession BTx623, and three local varieties from National Agrobiodiversity Center of Rural Development Administration in Korea, and one wild species from the Wild Plant Resources Seed Bank of Korea University in Korea. Sorghum plants were grown in plastic greenhouse under natural conditions. After growing, leaf samples were harvested at different developmental stages: seedling phase, vegetative phase (right before flowering), and reproductive phase (ripening). Using collected samples, quantification analysis were performed by an HPLC system for three metabolites (dhurrin, 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde, and 4-hydroxyphenylacetic acid) in sorghum plants. Prior to metabolome analysis, specific experimental condition for HPLC system was set to be able to separate three metabolites simultaneously. Under this condition, these metabolites were quantified in each accession by HPLC system. We observed that the metabolite contents were changed differently by developmental stages and accessions. We clustered these results into five groups as patterns of their contents by developmental stages. Most of accessions showed that 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde content was very high at seedling stage and decreased rapidly at vegetative phase. Interestingly, the patterns of dhurrin content were very different among clusters. However, 4-hydroxyphenylacetic acid content was maintained at low levels by developmental stages in most accessions. The results would demonstrate how dhurrin and alternative degradation pathways are differentiated in each accession.

벤질리덴아세톤(benzylinedeneacetone: BZA)은 두 곤충병원세균인 Xenorhabdus nematophila와 Photorhabdus temperata subsp. temperata에서 유래된 대사산물의 일종이다. 이 물질은 곤충의 세포성 및 체액성 면역반응을 억제하며 또한 다양한 세균이나 곰팡이에 대해 항생효과를 갖고 있다. 그러나 이 물질이 갖는 비교적 높은 약해와 낮은 식물체 침투력은 효과적 농약으로 개발하는 데 어려움을 주고 있다. 본 연구에서는 다섯 개의 서로 다른 BZA 유사체를 스크리닝하여 면역억제 및 항균활성을 유지하면서 비교적 용해도가 높고 약해가 낮은 물질을 선발하였다. BZA의 벤젠 고리에 수산기가 붙은 유도체는 면역억제 및 항균활성이 뚜렷이 낮아졌다. 또한 BZA의 케톤기를 카르복실기로 변형하면 면역억제와 항균활성을 잃게 되었다. 그러나 BZA의 탄화수소 사슬을 짧게 하여 형성된 아세테이트 유도체인 4-hydroxyphenylacetic acid (HPA)는 면역억제와 항균활성을 잃지 않았다. 또한 HPA는 BZA 보다 고추(Capsicum annuum)에 대해 약해가 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 이 연구는 낮은 약해를 유발하면서 높은 곤충면역억제와 식물병원균에 대해 높은 항균활성을 보이는 BZA 유도체를 선발하였다.

선행연구에서 근권 토양으로부터 분리된 Lysobacter antibioticus HS124 (HS124)는 lytic enzyme으로써 chitinase, gelatinase, lipase 및 protease 등의 효소와 항생물질인 4-hydroxyphenylacetic acid (4-HPAA)를 생성하였다. 본 실험에서는 HS124를 이용하여 배추좀나방 (diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella L.) 3~4령 유충의 살충활성을 검정하였다. HS124 배양액을 배추좀나방 유충에 처리하였을 때 유충은 파괴되어 분해되었다. HS124가 생성하는 4-HPAA를 유충에 처리하였을 때 처리 농도가 높을수록 살충율은 증가하였으며, HS124 배양액에 Tween 80을 첨가하였을 때 첨가하지 않은 처리구보다 살충율이 1.4배 높았다. 한편 화학 살충제 (IS), HS124 배양액 (HS124), 식물추출물 (매직파이; MP), HS124 배양액+식물추출물 (HS124+MP) 및 멸균수 (SDW)를 이용하여 배추좀나방 유충의 살충율을 검정하였다. HS124+MP 처리구에서 가장 높은 살충율을 나타내었고, IS, MP, HS124 및 SDW 처리구 순으로 살충율이 감소하였다. HS124 처리구는 대조구인 멸균수처리구보다 31% 높은 살충율을 나타내었고, HS124+MP처리구 보다 40% 낮은 살충율을 나타내었다. 이러한 결과로 보아 항생물질과 다양한 lytic enzyme을 생성하는 L. antibioticus HS124 배양액과 식물추출물의 혼합제제는 배추좀나방의 생물학적 방제제로써 가치가있다고 사료된다.
