This study was focused on the purification, characterization and promotion mode of an anticoagulant polysaccharide from Hizikia fusiforme. The anticoagulant crude polysaccharide(HF 0) was obtained by using hot water extraction at 100oC for 3 hrs after homogenizing desalted Hizikia fusiforme. The anticoagulant polysaccharide(HF 2 3 1a) was purified from the crude extract(HF 0) through stepwise gradient ethanol precipitation(HF 2), DEAE Toyopearl 650C(HF 2 3), Sephadex G 75(HF 2 3 1), Sepharose CL 6B(HF 2 3 1a) chromatography and HPLC to homogeneity. HF 2 3 1a was estimated at 5.3$\times$105 Da molecular weight and composed of fucose(51.92%), galactose(19.34%), mannose(13.92%), xylose (7.14%), arabinose(3.95%) and rhamnose(3.78%), and comprimised 29.7 % sulfate residue. The sulfated anticoagulant polysaccharide from HF 2 3 1a was proposed to inhibit via the intrinsic pathway and common pathway in the blood coagulation. The HF 2 3 1a exhibited the anticoagulant activity by activating an antithrombin III and the activity depended on the concentration of HF 2 3 1a. Acute toxicity of HF 2 in mice was not detected. Only 14 of 33 control mice(11.4%) that had taken saline survived for 30 min after injecting thrombin(100 NIH unit/ml).

The 10 species of marine green algae was collected from Jejudo(Island) in Korea. Methanolic and aqueous extracts were prepared and screened for inhibition activities against tumor cell growth. Of the tested samples, the sea staghorn (Codium fragile) aqueous extract (CFAE) showed the highest activity on CT-26 cell growth. Therefore, CFAE was selected for further experiments and the possibility to induce apoptosis by the CFAE was investigated. Flow cytometric analysis revealed that it dose-dependently increased apoptotic cells with hypodiploid DNA contents in CT-26 cell line. These results indicated that CFAE can suppress the growth of CT-26 cells through apoptosis. The CFAE decreased the protein expression of anti-apoptotic Bcl-xL and led to the activation of caspase-3 and -7. A crude polysaccharide was separated from CFAE and it mainly constituted with 61.2% galactose and 30.5% arabinose as analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).

Rice endosperm, the portion that remains after milling, is the part of the rice seed that is primarily consumed as a source of nutrients. There have been many studies on polysaccharides, such as hemicellulose, cellulose, and pectins, derived from the cell walls of various plant groups. It has been reported that the acidic polysaccharide fractions, which contain water-soluble pectins that have been shown to have pharmacological effects in vivo and in vitro, have common chemical structures that include galacturonic acid polymers, rhamnose, arabinose, and galactose. However, few studies have been conducted on the acidic polysaccharides contained in the endosperm of rice. In this study, we quantitatively compared the differences in the acidic polysaccharide contents from samples from two of the main varieties of rice consumed as staple foods, japonica and indica, using a colorimetric method. Rice samples were collected from 39 different regions in Korea, China, Thailand and Vietnam. Acidic polysaccharide fractions were obtained by precipitation of the alcohol-insoluble residue (AIR) and enzyme treatment of each sample. The total amount of carbohydrates and uronic acid in each acidic polysaccharide fraction were measured using the phenol-sulfuric acid method and the carbazole-sulfuric acid method, respectively. The differences in the total polysaccharide contents in the acidic polysaccharide fractions were not statistically significant (p = 0.07), but the uronic acid contents were significantly different between the two groups (p = 0.04).

Traditional doenjang with Lentinus edodes added at a concentration of 0, 3, 5 and 10% (w/w) was prepared and its physicochemical characteristics were analyzed during fermentation for 6 months. The moisture content, salt level and pH for doenjang were decreased with increasing addition of Lentinus edodes powder, but crude protein content was increased. Among the free sugars, glucose, galactose, arabinose, sucrose and maltose were identified and quantified, with the first two being the major free sugar. Minerals were detected in the order of Na> K> P> Ca> Mg> Fe while the content of Cu, Mn and Zn exhibited little change. The contents of each amino acid of traditional doenjang with added Lentinus edodes, glutamic, leucine and aspartic acids, had a much higher level. In fatty acid compositions, palmitic, stearic, oleic and linoleic acids were analyzed, with oleic acid being the most abundant fatty acid at $56.4{\pm}0.8\sim57.5{\pm}0.5%$ in all the tested samples. GMP and IMP contents of nucleotides and their related compounds were extremely high. It was thought that these substances contributed to the sweet taste of traditional doenjang with added Lentinus edodes. These results showed the applicability and high quality of traditional doenjang with added Lentinus edodes.

Anaerobic bacteria are suggested to be potential source for new antibiotics. In order to search for antibiotics from domestic origin, we collected 800 soil samples across Korean locations and could isolate as many as 989 anaerobic strains. Among them 10, strains were found to have good producing capacity of antibiotics. An anaerobe was finally selected due to secreting antibiotics having high antimicrobial activity towards multiple resistant microorganism(E coli JM 83) transformed by genetic engineering technique. Its morphological, physiological and biochemical charateristics were investigated, together with antimicrobial spectrum therefrom. On antimicrobial spectrum study, substance secreted from this strain, had no activities to fungus and yeast. The selected strain showed G(+) and coccal shape, on Gram, staining and electron scanning microscopy, respectively. Biochemically this strain utilized glucose, fructose lactose, sucrose, but did not arabinose, cellulose, rhamnose, sorbitol, trehalose, mannitol. Catalase test showed negative property. Optimal growth temperature was $37^{\circ}C$. The results obtained above suggest this strain Streptococcus faecium subspp. and we named it Streptococcus sp. An-21-1.

The objectives of this study were to investigate the effect of fermentation medium on the hydroxyl radical scavenging activity of exopolysaccharides from Inonotus obliquus by response surface methodology (RSM). A two-level fractional factorial design was used to evaluate the effect of different components of the medium. Corn flour, peptone, and $KH_2PO_4$ were important factors significantly affecting hydroxyl radical scavenging activity. These selected variables were subsequently optimized using path of steepest ascent (descent), a central composite design, and response surface analysis. The optimal medium composition was (% w/v): corn flour 5.30, peptone 0.32, $KH_2PO_4$ 0.26, $MgSO_4$ 0.02, and $CaCl_2$ 0.01. Under the optimal condition, the hydroxyl radical scavenging rate (49.4%) was much higher than that using either basal fermentation medium (10.2%) and single variable optimization of fermentation medium (35.5%). The main monosaccharides components of the RSM optimized polysaccharides are rhamnose, arabinose, xylose, mannose, glucose, and galactose with molar proportion at 1.45%, 3.63%, 2.17%, 15.94%, 50.00%, and 26.81%.
