수집한 장류 시료에서 분리한 균주들을 CMC를 함유하는 배지에 접종하여 섬유소 분해 활성이 우수한 4-1 균주를 선발하였다. 4-1 균주의 16S rRNA 염기서열을 분석한 결과, B. subtilis로 동정되었다. B. subtilis 4-1의 효소생산을 위한 최적 배양조건은 탄소원으로 1.0% soluble starch와 질소원으로 0.1% yeast extract를 첨가하여 $45^{\circ}C$에서 24시간 배양하였을 때로 나타났다. 최적 배양 pH를 조사한 결과, pH 5.0~9.0에서 cellulase 효소활성이 높았다. B. subtilis 4-1의 조효소 특성은 효소반응의 최적 pH가 pH 9.0, 반응온도는 $60^{\circ}C$에서 효소활성이 가장 높았으며, $20{\sim}90^{\circ}C$ 온도에서 60분간 열처리시 효소 활성이 80%이상 유지되었다. 따라서 B. subtilis 4-1에 의해 생산되는 cellulase는 내알칼리성 효소로 추정되며, 높은 열에도 안정한 것으로 나타났다. B. subtilis 4-1이 생산하는 cellulase는 CMC에 가장 높은 효소활성을 나타내었으며 avicel과 pNPG에서도 활성을 보여 복합효소로 생각된다.

In our previous study, we isolated and characterized a 1-deoxynojirimycin (DNJ)-producing bacterium, Bacillus subtilis MORI, from chungkookjang, a Korean traditional food. B. subtilis MORI was subjected to ${\gamma}$-irradiation and the resulting bacteria were screened for increased DNJ production. A mutant was identified that produced 7.6 times more DNJ and named B. subtilis MORI 3K-85. In this study, the protein profiles of both strains were compared by one-dimensional and two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (1-DE and 2-DE, respectively) under both native and denaturing conditions. The 1-DE native-PAGE and 1-DE SDS-PAGE analyses identified 5 and 7 bands, respectively, that were found at higher concentrations in B. subtilis MORI 3K-85 than in B. subtilis MORI. Similarly, 2-DE analyses identified 20 protein spots which were found at higher concentrations in B. subtilis MORI 3K-85. The peptide mass profiles of these 20 proteins were analyzed by MALDI-TOF and compared with peptide sequences of B. subtilis and B. amyloliquefaciens in the MASCOT database. This screening suggested that three dehydrogenases, an aldolase, a synthetase, an isomerase, a reductase, and a peroxidase are elevated in B. subtilis MORI 3K-85. Based on this data, one or more of the elevated 8 enzymes might be related to the DNJ biosynthetic pathway.

본 연구는 양송이 배지의 관행 발효기술을 개선하고자 실험을 실시하였다. 양송이 볏짚 배지 발효단계에서 우점하는 Bacillus strain CY-24 균주를 순수분리하여 16S rDNA 염기서열을 통한 동정 결과 Bacillus licheniformis로 밝혀졌다. B. licheniformis 최적 생육 온도는 30℃, 최적 생육 pH는 6.0에서 가장 생육이 활발한 것을 확인하였으며, B. licheniformis CY-24 균주는 glycerol, glycogen, L-arabinose, D-ribose, D-xylose, D-galactose, D-glucose, D-fructose, D-mannose 등의 탄소원을 잘 활용하였고, 효소활성 측정 결과 esterase, leucine arylamidase, acid phosphatase, β-glucosidase 등에서 양성반응을 나타내었다. CMCase 활성 온도는 50℃, PGase는 60℃에서 가장 효과가 극대화되었으며, CMCase, PGase 두 효소는 60℃ 이상에서도 안정성이 유지되는 것을 확인하였다. 금속이온의 촉매 효과는 CoCl₂ 1mM에서 가장 활성이 높은 것으로 나타났다. B. licheniformis CY-24의 효소학적 특성은 매우 우수하였으며, 양송이 재배에 사용되는 배지를 생산하는 과정에 효소의 작용은 볏짚의 발효 촉진과 연화 작용에 밀접한 관계가 있으므로 유용생물자원으로써 발효기술에 대한 기초자료로 이용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 추후 다양한 미생물과 버섯균의 상호작용에 대한 면밀한 연구가 이루어진다면 유용한 자원으로 이용 될 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

In this study, gluten-free noodles were developed and the physicochemical quality of gluten-free noodles added with nondigestible maltodextrin (NMD) was also investigated. The gluten-free noodles were prepared by addition of 0, 5, 7, and 9% NMD of total ingredients except water. Inhibition activities for ${alpha}$-amylase and ${alpha}$-glucosidase according to the addition amounts of NMD were evaluated. As a result, activities of carbohydrate-digestive enzymes decreased with an increase of the added NMD amounts. Water binding capacity and solubility of raw noodles increased upon NMD addition. Swelling power also increased as temperature rose. L value of raw noodles decreased with the addition of NMD, but b value increased. Texture profile analysis of cooked noodles showed reduction of hardness, springiness, and chewiness of noodles with NMD. On the other hand, tensile strength of cooked noodles containing up to 7% NMD was not significantly different from that of noodle without NMD. In the sensory evaluation, elasticity of noodles with 9% NMD was lower than that of other noodles, whereas other characteristics of noodles were not significantly different among noodles. Therefore, it was confirmed that the addition of 5~7% NMD had little effect on the sensory quality of noodles.

Maximum cellulase production was sought by comparing the activities of the cellulases produced by different Trichoderma reesei strains and Aspergillus niger. Trichoderma reesei Rut-C30 showed higher cellulase activity than other Trichoderma reesei stains and Aspergillus niger that was isolated from soil. By optimizing the cultivation conditions during shake flask culture, higher cellulase production could be achieved. The FP(filter paper) activity of 3.7U/ml and CMCase (Carboxymethylcellulase) activity of 60U/ml were obtained from shake flask culture. When it was grown in 2.5L fermentor, where pH and DO levels are controlled, the enzyme activities were 133.35U/ml (CMCase) and 11.67U/ml(FP), respectively. Ammonium sulfate precipitation method was used to recover enzymes from fermentation broth. The dried cellulase powder showed 3074.9U/g of CMCase activity and 166.7U/g of FP activity with 83.5% CMCase recovery.

The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of roasting temperature on the quality characteristics and biological activity of quinoa. Quinoa was roasted at 160, 200, and 220℃ for 20 min. The lightness (L^*) of quinoa decreased, however, the redness (a^*) increased as the roasting temperature increased. The yellowness (b^*) was the highest at 160℃ and decreased at 200 and 220℃. The highest contents of total polyphenol, flavonoid, and quercetin were observed at 220℃, the highest roasting temperature. The highest radical scavenging activities of 2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (73.65%) and α,α-diphenyl-β-picrylhydrazyl free radicals (47.82%) were found in roasted quinoa at 220℃. The α-glucosidase activity was inhibited by 62.13% at this temperature. The roasted quinoa at 220℃ also showed a significant cytoprotective effect against oxidative stress in HepG2 cells. These results could be useful in the development of food products using quinoa.

Tricholoma matsutake has been the most valuable ectomycorrhizal fungi in Asia because of its unique flavor and taste. However, due to the difficulty of artificial cultivation, the cultivation of T. matsutake has relied on natural growth in forests. To cultivate the T. matsutake artificially, microorganisms in fairy rings were introduced. In this study, we isolated 30 fungal species of microfungi from the soil of fairy rings. Among them, one single fungal strain showed a promoting effect on the growth of T. matsutake. The growth effect was confirmed by measuring the growth area of T. matsutake and enzyme activities including a-amylase, cellulase, and b-glucosidase. In comparison with control, microfungal metabolite increased the growth area of T. matsutake by 213% and the enzyme activity of T. matsutake by 110-200%. The isolated fungal strain was identified as Penicillium citreonigrum by BLAST on the NCBI database. The Discovery of this microfungal strain is expected to contribute to artificial cultivation of T. matsutake.

An expressed sequence tag (EST) library was established from the hypopharyngeal glands of Apis cerana. Sixty-six recombinant clones, possessing inserts >500 bp, were randomly selected and unidirectional sequenced. Forty-two of these (63.6%) were identified as homologues of Major Royal Jelly Proteins families 1, 2, 3, and 4 of A. mellifera (AmMRJP) for which MRJP1 was the most abundant family. The open-reading frame of the MRJP1 homologue (AcMRJP1) was 1299 nucleotides that encoded 433 deduced amino acids with three predicted N-linked glycosylation sites. The AcMRJP1 sequence showed 93% and 90% homologies with nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences of AmMRJP1, respectively. Two complete transcripts of apisimin, and one and two partial transcripts of $\alpha$-glucosidase and glucose oxidase, were also isolated. In addition, the royal jelly proteins of A. cerana were purified and characterized using Q-Sepharose and Sephadex G-200 column chromatography. The native forms of protein peaks A1, A2, B1, and C1 were 115, 55, 50, and 300 kDa, respectively. SDS-PAGE analysis indicated that A1 and C1 were dimeric and oligomeric forms of the 80 kDa and 50 kDa subunits, respectively. The ratio of the total protein quantities of A1 : A2 : B1 : C1 were 2.52 : 4.72 : 1 : 12.21. Further characterization of each protein, using N-terminal and internal peptide sequencing, revealed that the respective proteins were homologues of MRJP3, MRJP2, MRJP1, and MRJP1 of A. mellifera.

In order to develop new skin whitening agents, we prepared the $CH_2Cl_2$ layer (NGC) and BuOH layer (NGB) of 75% EtOH extract of the Nelumbinis nucifera Gaertner. We measured their tyrosinase inhibitory activity in vitro and melanin synthesis inhibitory activity in B16-F1 melanoma cells. They did not show inhibitory activity against mushroom tyrosinase but showed melanin synthesis inhibitory activity in a dose-dependent manner. In a melanin synthesis inhibition assay, NGC and NGB suppressed melanin production up to 52% and 46% at a concentration of $100{\mu}g/mL$, respectively. To elucidate the mechanism of the inhibitory effects of NGC and NGB on melanogenesis, we measured the expression of melanogenesis-related proteins by western blot assay. As a result, NGC suppressed the expression of tyrosinase, tyrosinase related protein 1 (TRP-1), tyrosinase related protein 2 (TRP-2), phosphorylated cAMP responsive element binding (p-CREB) protein, and microphthalmia associated transcription factor (MITF). And NGB inhibited the protein expression of tyrosinase and MITF, but had no significant effect on TRP-1, TRP-2, and p-CREB expression. Moreover, NGB increased the expression of phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated kinase (p-ERK). In addition, we examined the inhibitory effect on the glycosylation of tyrosinase. As a result, NGC and NGB inhibited the activity of ${\alpha}$-glucosidase in vitro and the glycosylation of tyrosinase in B16-F1 melanoma cells. From these results, we concluded that NGC and NGB could be used as active ingredients for skin whitening.
