Fifty Actinobacteria strains were isolated from rhizosphere soil of Sasa borealis. In the course of screening for antibacterial activity against bacterial leaf spot of pepper (Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. vesicatoria) of isolates, 12 isolates showed strong antibiotic activity. Basis on the 16S rRNA gene sequence, they were belonging to Streptomyces cluster II. Strain JR-24 exhibited strong antibiotic activity against X. axonopodis pv. vesicatoria, had a minimum inhibitory concentration of 10 ${\mu}l$/disc. The strain JR-24 was most closely related to Streptomyces galbus $DSM40089^T$ (98.1%), Streptomyces longwoodensis $LMG20096^T$ (98%) and Streptomyces capoamus $JCM4734^T$ (97.8%). When assayed with the API 20NE and 50 CHE kit, it is positive for utilization of L-arabinose, D-fructose, D-glucose, D-galactose and hydrolysis of gelatin, protein, starch. The strains contained iso-$C_{14:0}$ (25.93%), iso-$C_{15:0}$ (10.13%), anteiso-$C_{15:0}$ (19.29%) and iso-$C_{16:0}$ (20.35%) as major fatty acids and MK-9 (H4), MK-9 (H6), and MK-9 (H8) as the isoprenoid quinone. Strain JR-24 was suggested new species of genus Streptomyces by nearest neighbors of genotypic relationships and phenotypic characterization. This study was important to microbial resources investigation for environment-friendly agriculture.

Two hundred and sixty-eight bacterial strains were isolated from pine mushroom (Tricholoma matsutake) basal soil. In the course of screening for antifungal activity against seven plant pathogenic fungi (Alternaria panax, Botrytis cinerea, Colletotrichum gloeosprioides, Fusarium oxysporum, Phytopthora capsici, Pythium ultimum, Rizoctonia solani) of isolates, strain KM1-15 showed strong antibiotic activity against Alternaria panax and Colletotrichum gloeosprioides. In determining its relationship on the basis of 16S rDNA sequence, KM1-15 strain was most closely related to Bacillus $koguryoae^T$ (AY904033) (99.62%). When assayed with the API 50CHE Kit, unlike Bacillus koguryoae, it is positive for utilization of L-arabinose, cellobiose, inulin, and D-turanose. Results of cellular fatty acid analysis showed that major cellular fatty acids were 15:0 anteiso (35.78%) and 17:0 anteiso (17.97%). In particular, hydroxyl fatty acids such as 13:0 iso 3-OH, 14:0 iso 3-OH, 15:0 iso 3-OH, and 17:0 iso 3-OH were only restricted to strain KM1-15. DNA G+C content was 43.7 mol% and quinone system was MK-7 (100%) in strain KM1-15.

Lignin degrading bacterium Pseudomonas sp. LG2 was able to degrade lignin substrate to a lot of APPL compound. APPL compound was detected in culture supernatants from Pseudomonas sp. LG2 grown with BSC(brewer's spent grain). FAE(ferulic acid esterase) and xylanase are induced from Pseudomonas sp. LG2 in the presence of carbon sources such as oat spelt xylan, HBSG I, II(hydrolyzed brewer's spent grain I, II) and AFBSG(autoclaved fraction from brewer's spent grain). However, xylanase and FAE are not induced by growth of Pseudomonas sp. LG2 on xylose and arabinose. Pseudomonas sp. LG2 is grown on medium containing oat spelt xylan, HBSG I, II and AFBSG and the induction of FAE and xylanase activities of extracellular proteins determined during 14 days. Maximum level of xylanase activity(5.3 U/mg) found at 6 days in culture contained oat spelt xylan as carbon source, whereas maximum level of FAE activity(15.4 mU/mg) was found at 8 days in culture contained AFBSG as carbon source. Most ferulic acid was released in culture supernatants when Pseudomonas sp. LG2 grown on oat spelt xylan, HBSG I, II and AFBSG. FAE of extracellular enzymes was also specific activity on methyl ferulic acid, methyl caffeic acid and methyl p-coumaric acid respectively, but not methyl sinapinic acid, methyl vanillic acid and methyl gallic acid.

The polysaccharide isolated from Phellinus species has been known as a folk remedy, including antitumor and immune-stimulating activities. However, there are lacks of knowledge about mycelial growth and exopolysaccharide (EH) production in its submerged culture. We investigated the optimal conditions on mycelial growth and EPS production in Phellinus baumii. The optimal temperature and initial pH for mycelial growth and EPS production in shake flask culture of P. baumii were proved to be 3$0^{\circ}C$ and pH 5.0, respectively. In case of carbon source, cellobiose and maltose were highly efficient for mycelial growth and fructose and mannitol were also relatively favorable for EPS production. Yeast extract was the most suitable nitrogen source for mycelial growth and EPS production. The composition of optimal culture medium was determined to be fructose 20 g/L, yeast extract 20 g/L, and $CaCl_2$ 0.55 g/L, respectively. Under the optimal culture condition, the maximum mycelial biomass and EPS achieved in a 5-L stirred-tank fermenter were 17.43 g/L and 3.6 g/L, respectively. It was found that the EPS was a glycoprotein onsisted of mainly arginine (14.1%) and glycine (12.0 %) in protein moiety and mainly mannose (48.7%) and arabinose (38.4%) in carbohydrate moiety.

This study was carried out to investigate changes in cell wall components and solubilization and depolymerization of pectin and neutral sugar polymers during softening of 'Tsugaru' apples. Pectic polysaccharides were solubilized in different solvents, distilled-water, 0.05 M CDTA, 0.05 M $Na_2CO_3$, and 8 M KOH, from cell wall materials during fruit softening. The uronic acid contents in distilled-water fraction rapidly increased along with fruit softening at 4 weeks after ambient storage. In the change of non-cellulosic neutral sugars in the cell wall of ‘Tsugaru’ fruits, the major sugar was galactose and arabinose in distilled-water, 0.05 M CDTA and 0.05 M $Na_2CO_3$ soluble fractions, and it was glucose, galactose and xylose in 8 M KOH fraction. Especially the change of galactose contents in distilled-water fraction was increased greatly along with fruit softening. When uronic acid polymers (UAP) and carbohydrate polymers (CP) in distilled-water fraction were filtered and separated using Sepharose CL-2B column, the high molecular UAP and CP were degraded to the low molecular ones from at harvest to softening fruit. Thus, the amount of high molecular polymers were greatly decreased along with fruit softening.

To examine the characteristics of anti-complementary compounds from Arecae Pericarpium (the pericarps of Areca catechu) which showed the highest activity during our screening procedures, the extraction and purification were performed. AC-1 fraction from Arecae Pericarpium was purified by hot water extraction, methanol reflux, ethanol precipitation, dialysis and lyophilization. This compound had total sugar 48.2%, uronic acid 14.6% and protein 36.8%. Rhamnose, arabinose, mannose and galactose were found in sugar components. By cetavlon (cetyltrimethylammonium bromide) treatment AC-1 was fractionated to AC-2, AC-3 and AC-4. Among them, AC-2 showed the highest activity and yield. By periodate oxidation, AC-2 was deactivated, but had no change in activity by pronase digestion. Moreover active fractions, AC-2-IIIa and AC-2-IIIc isolated from AC-2 by two successive column chromatography using DEAE-Toyopearl $650C(Cl^-form)$ and Sephadex G-100. AC-2-IIIa was mainly made up of rhamnose, mannose, galactose and glucose, and AC-2-IIIc, mannose, galactose and glucose. These both polysaccharides were identified as homogeneous by gel filtration of Sepharose CL-4B and electrophoresis, and molecular weights of them were 120,000 and 15,000, respectively.

We have isolated two anticoagulant polysaccharides from an acidic extract of Codium fragile. The purification was conducted using three consecutive chromatographies of DEAE-Toyopearl 650C, Sephadex G-100 (G-75), and Sepharose CL-6B by measuring activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT). The two purified anticoagulant polysaccharides, CF-1-VIa-1 and CF-1-VIIa-1, were found to be nearly homogenous on HPLC using a gel permeation column and appeared to have molecular weights of about 80,000 Da and 40,000 Da, respectively. The polysaccharides consisted mainly of arabinose and galactose in a molar ratio of about 2 : 1, and also comprised 12-13% of sulfates at their constituent sugars. CF-1-VIa-1 and CF-1-VIIa-1 inhibited blood coagulation via both the intrinsic and the extrinsic pathways. The polysaccharides unlike heparin showed an inhibitory activity on thrombin when a pure fibrinogen without antithrombin III was used as a substrate. Structural modifications using sulfation and desulfation affected the anticoagulant activities directly, suggesting that the content of sulfate plays an important role in the blood coagulation cascade. The polysaccharides may inhibit some proteases involved in the blood coagulation cascade, judging from the independence of calcium concentrations in their anticoagulant activity.

In the present study, we examined biosorption characteristics of heavy metals onto the extracellular polysaccharide (EPS) produced by the purple nonsulfur photosynthetic bacteria Rhodopseudomonas sp. KH4, which was isolated from a stream in Anyang, Kyonggi-Do. When Cd (100 mg/L) and Cu (100 mg/L) were added to EPS (1.0 g/L) in the optimal condition (Cd; pH 8, Cu; pH 5, $40^{\circ}C$), 84.2 mg/L of Cd and 70.0 mg/L of Cu were adsorbed within 30 min and 10 min, respectively. When 100 mg/L of Cd and Cu were present as mixture, 16.8 mg/L of Cd and 48.7 mg/L of Cu were adsorbed at $25^{\circ}C$, pH 5. The maximum adsorption capacity determined by fitting Langmuir isotherms model was suitable for describing the biosorption of Cd (76.9 mg/g) and Cu (67.1 mg/g) by EPS. The neutral monosaccharide in the EPS determined by GC consisted of arabinose (2.4%), glucose (7.1%) and mannose (90.5%).

The changes of nitrogen utilization ratio (NUR), Protein solution ratio (PSR) and free sugar contents during the amino acid soysauce manufacturing process by a low hydrochloric acid, temperature were investigated. On hydrolysis by 6%-HCI (3 liquor rate of defatted soybean weight, 3LR) at $85^{\circ}C$, NUR and PSR were 74.51%, 56.49% at 65 hours. At the same time free sugars were detected glucose, galactose, arabinose, fructose, xylose. on hydrolysis at $95^{\circ}C$, NUR and PSR were 77.72%, 64.04% at 50 hours, and 5 free sugars of the above statement were detected at 5 hours. Remarkable decreases in the levels of free sugars, only glucose were observed after 80 hours of the hydrolysis. On hydrolysis by 12%-HCI(3LR) at $95^{\circ}C$, NUR and IRA were 88.41%, 69.47% at 50 hours, free sugar were nearly disappeared after 20-35hours. On hydrolysis, galactose's disappearence rate was faster than glucose's.
