이 연구는 polyacrylamide gel 전기영동법을 사용해서 상잠의 5령 3일째 유충 및 가잠의 5령 3일째 유충에 있어서 혈액, 소화액 단백질의 전기 영동상과소화액 amylase 활성을 조사하였다. 1. 상잠의 혈액에 있어서 자유충에서는 6본의 주요 단백질 band가 검출되었으며 웅유충에서는 7본의 주요 단백질 band가 검출되었다. 그러나, 가잠에 있어서 암누에에 있어서는 8본, 숫누에에 있어서는 7본이 검출되었다. 상잠과 가잠과의 혈액단백질의 전기영동상에 있어서 다소의 차이가 있었다. 2. 상잠의 소화액에서 15본의 단백질 band가 검출되었으며 가잠에서는 12본의 단백질 band가 검출되었다. 상잠과 가잠과의 소화액 단백질의 전기영동상에 있어서도 다소의 차이가 있었다. 3. 상잠의 소화액 amylase는 가잠과 같이 양극측 BPB 부근까지 강하게 이동하였으며 상잠의 소화액 amylase의 이동도는 0.019이고 가잠의 이동도는 0.020으로서 양종간의 이동도의 차이가 거의 없었다.

Bacillus amyloliquefaciens가 생성하는 액화형 $\alpha$-amylase의 구조유전자를 클로닝하기 위하여 이 균주 염색체의 2 - 5kb 획분을 분리하여 Mbo I으로 부분분해한 후 pUB110플라스미드의 BamHI 부위에 삽입하여 hybrid vector pSKS3 를 제작하였다. 이 재조합플라스미드를 세한수식결손 세포인 Bacillus subtilis ED 107에서 subcloning한 후 당화형 $\alpha$-amylase를 생성하는 Bacillus subtilis NA 64의 $\alpha$-amylase결실변이주 Bacills subtilis KM 107 주에서 형질 발현시켰다. 이때 형질전환빈도는 $10^{-5}$ - $10^{-7}$정도였으며 그중 약 50%가 $\alpha$-amylase 분비능이 있었으나 거의 대부분이 쉽게 실활되었다. 최종선별과정에서 $\alpha$-amylase를 가장 강하게 생성하는 형질전환주 Bacillus subtilis KM213으로부터 재 추출한 재조합플라스미드 pSKS3는 5.7kb 삽입된 단편이 BamH I/Mbo I 부위에 결합되어 있었다. pSKS3에 클로닝된 유전자에 의해 발현되는 $\alpha$-amylase 활성은 B. amyloliquefaciens 활성의 약 25%였으며, 이 pSKS3에 의해 발현되는 $\alpha$-amylase 단백은 B.amyloliquefaciens의 $\alpha$-amylase와 동일한 전기영동성을 나타내었음을 볼 때 pSKS3에 클로닝된 유전자는 B. amyloliquefaciens에서 유래함을 알 수 있었다.

Two secretion vectors, pUBA240 and pUB340 were constructed by using the promoter and secretory signal region of the .alpha.-amylase gene from an .alpha.-amylase hyperproducing strain, Bacillus subtilis NA64. In this secretion vector system, various restriction enzyme sites are located immediately after the proregion of the .alpha.-amylase gene for easy replacement of various foregn structural genes. To evaluate this secretion vectors, the .betha.-lactamase gene of pBR322 was used as a reporter gene. The expressed and biologically active .betha.-lactamase was secreted into the culture broth from B. subtilis LKS86 transformants harboring each .betha.-lactamase secreting plasmid, pUBAbla and pUBSble. In both cases, more than 92% of expressed .betha.- lactamases were located idn the culture medium. The amount of the secreted .betha.-lactamase was about 80% of the total secreted proteins in the culture medium.

For the production of ${\alpha}$-amylase cloned from Bacillus licheniformis expressed in E. coli, cultivating factors including the concentrations of glucose, maltose and acetic acid were investigated. The results were as follows: 1) Maximum ${\alpha}$-amylase yield and maximum specific production rate obtained from glucose source were better than those achieved from maltose source. 2) The optimum production yield of ${\alpha}$-amylase was obtained at 1.0ml/$\ell$ or less of initial acetic acid concentration.

In order to broaden the spectrum of substrate utilization of a Gram negative bacterium Zymomonas mobilis which has a great potential as an industrial ethanol producing microorganism, cloning of $\alpha$-amylase gene into Z. mobilis ZM4 was tried. The $\alpha$-amylase gene was isolated from Bacillus stearothermophilus. By Southern blot analysis, it was proven that the $\alpha$-amylase gene fragment was originated from a naturally occuring plasmid of B. stearothermophilus ATCC 31195. To place $\alpha$-amylase gene under the control of Z. mobilis promoter, two different Z. mobilis expression vectors, pZA26 and pLOI204, were used. The truncated $\alpha$-amylase gene was then introduced into these vectors. Both qualitative and quantitative activities of $\alpha$-amylase were observed in Z. mobilis cells harboring these plasmids with the $\alpha$-amylase gene inserted. Gas chromatographic analysis of ethanol showed that one of the Z. mobilis transconjugants was capable of producing 67 mM ethanol from rich medium(RM) containing 5% soluble starch as a sole carbon source.

An additional amylase, besides the typical $\alpha-amylase,$ was detected for the first time in the cytoplasm of B. subtilis SUH4-2, an isolate from Korean soil. The corresponding gene (bbmA) encoded a malto­genic amylase (MAase) and its sequence was almost identical to the yvdF gene of B. subtilis 168, whose function was unknown. Southern blot analysis using bbmA as the probe indicated that this gene was ubiquitous among various B. subtilis strains. In an effort to understand the physiological function of the bbmA gene in B. subtilis, the expression pattern of the gene was monitored by measuring the $\beta-galactosidase$ activity produced from the bbmA promoter fused to the amino terminus of the lacZ struc­tural gene, which was then integrated into the amyE locus on the B. subtilis 168 chromosome. The pro­moter was induced during the mid-log phase and fully expressed at the early stationary phase in defined media containing $\beta--cyclodextrin\;(\beta-CD),$ maltose, or starch. On the other hand, it was kept repressed in the presence of glucose, fructose, sucrose, or glycerol, suggesting that catabolite repression might be involved in the expression of the gene. Production of the $\beta-CD$ hydrolyzing activity was impaired by the spo0A mutation in B. subtilis 168, indicating the involvement of an additional regu­latory system exerting control on the promoter. Inactivation of yvdF resulted in a significant decrease of the $\beta-CD$ hydrolyzing activity, if not all. This result implied the presence of an additional enzyme(s) that is capable of hydrolyzing $\beta-CD$ in B. subtilis 168. Based on the results, MAase encoded by bbmA is likely to be involved in maltose and $\beta-CD$ utilization when other sugars, which are readily usable as an energy source, are not available during the stationary phase.

The Val289 residue in the $\alpha$-amylase of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, which is equivalent to the Ala289 and Val286 residues in the $\alpha$-amylases of B. stearothermophilus and B. licheniformis, respectively, was studied by site-directed mutagenesis. This residue was substituted with 10 different amino acids by random substitution of the Val codon. In these mutant $\alpha$-amylases, Val289 was substituted with Ile, Tyr, Phe, Leu, Gly, Pro, Ser, Arg, Glu, and Asp. Compared with the wild-type $\alpha$-amylase, the mutant $\alpha$-amylase Val289Ile showed 20% more hydrolytic activity, whereas Val289Phe and Val289Leu showed 50% lesser activity. On the other hand, the mutant $\alpha$-amylases Val289Gly, Val289Tyr, Val289Ser, and Val289Pro showed less than 15% activity. The substitution of Val289 with Arg, Asp, or Glu resulted in complete loss of the $\alpha$-amylase activity. Interestingly, the mutant $\alpha$-amylase Val289Tyr had acquired a transglycosylation activity, which resulted in the change of product profile of the reaction, giving a longer oligosaccharide.

Based on its α-amylase activity at pH 5.0 and optimal pH of the crude enzyme, a strain (named B-5) with acid α-amylase production was screened. The B-5 strain was identified as Bacillus amyloliquefaciens through morphological, physiological, and biochemical characteristics analysis, as well as 16S rDNA phylogenetic analysis. Its α-amylase gene of GenBank Accession No. GU318401 was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. The purified recombinant α-amylase AMY-Ba showed the optimal pH of 5.0, and was stable at a pH range of 4.0-6.0. When hydrolyzing soluble starch, amylose, and amylopectin, AMY-Ba released glucose and maltose as major end products. The α-amylase AMY-Ba in this work was different from the well-investigated J01542-type α-amylase which also came from B. amyloliquefaciens. AMY-Ba exhibited notable adsorption and hydrolysis ability towards various raw starches. Structure analysis of AMY-Ba suggested the presence of a new starch-binding domain at its C-terminal region.
