Aspergillus niger가 액체발효(SF) 와 고체발효의 시험 규모 조건에서의 셀루로오스계 효소의 생산을 비교하였다. 액체배지는 0.5% 셀루로오스가 함유된 Czapek Dox를 사용하였고, 고체 지지체로 사용한 쌀겨는 셀루로오스로 적시고 SSF 발효를 위하여 Czapek Dox 배지를 첨가하였다. CMCase, 여지 paperase 그리고 ${\beta}$-Glucosidase 의 생산을 경시적으로 측정하였다. SSF 배양에서의 3일간의 효소 생산량은 SF 에서의 7일간 배양과 같았다. 따라서 SSF 조건이 SF 배양 조건보다 많은 효소를 생산함을 알 수 있었다. SSF 조건에서 FPase, CMCase 및 ${\beta}$-glucosidase의 최대 활성은 0.40, 0.62 및 0.013 U/ml 였으나, SF 조건에서는 0.13, 0.06 및 0.0013 U/ml의 활성을 나타내었다. 결론적으로 Aspergillus niger에 의해 생산되는 셀루로오스계 효소의 생산을 위해서는 SSF 발효 조건의 선택이 유리하다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

영지버섯과 상황버섯의 항당뇨 효능을 알아보기 위하여 실험을 수행하였으며, 당뇨병에 negative regulator로 작용하는 PTP1B의 억제 활성을 살펴본 결과 영지버섯과 상황버섯이 억제 활성을 보였으며, 타액의 ${\alpha}-amylase$는 타액과 췌장내에서 탄수화물의 소화에 있어서 중요한 효소로 작용하며 이 효소를 저해시킴으로서 탄수화물의 소화 속도를 지연시켜 식후 혈당 상승을 억제할 수 있다. ${\alpha}-amylase$ 억제활성정도를 실험으로 확인한 결과 양성대조구와 비슷한 억제활성을 보였으며, 상황버섯은 89%로 Acarbose와 같은 억제 활성을 보였다. ${\alpha}-glucosidase$는 다당류의 탄수화물을 단당류로 분해하는 탄수화물의 소화와 흡수에 필수적인 효소로 억제활성을 실험으로 확인한 결과 양성대조구와는 다르게 낮은 억제 활성을 보였다. 두 가지 소화효소에 모두 억제활성을 보이는 기존제품의 단점을 보완할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Recent living condition improvements, changes in dietary habits, and reductions in physical activity are contributing to an increase in metabolic syndrome symptoms including diabetes and obesity. Through such societal developments, humankind is continuously exposed to metabolic diseases such as diabetes, and the number of the victims is increasing. This study investigated Cordyceps militaris water extract (CMW)-induced glucose uptake in HepG2 cells and the effect of CMW treatment on glucose metabolism. MATERIALS/METHODS: Colorimetric assay kits were used to determine the glucokinase (GK) and pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) activities, glucose uptake, and glycogen content. Either RT-PCR or western blot analysis was performed for quantitation of glucose transporter 2 (GLUT2), hepatocyte nuclear factor 1 alpha ($HNF-1{\alpha}$), phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3k), protein kinase B (Akt), phosphorylated AMP-activated protein kinase (pAMPK), phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase, GK, PDH, and glycogen synthase kinase 3 beta ($GSK-3{\beta}$) expression levels. The ${\alpha}-glucosidase$ inhibitory activities of acarbose and CMW were evaluated by absorbance measurement. RESULTS: CMW induced glucose uptake in HepG2 cells by increasing GLUT2 through $HNF-1{\alpha}$ expression stimulation. Glucose in the cells increased the CMW-induced phosphorylation of AMPK. In turn, glycolysis was stimulated, and glyconeogenesis was inhibited. Furthermore, by studying the mechanism of action of PI3k, Akt, and $GSK-3{\beta}$, and measuring glycogen content, the study confirmed that the glucose was stored in the liver as glycogen. Finally, CMW resulted in a higher level of ${\alpha}-glucosidase$ inhibitory activity than that from acarbose. CONCLUSION: CMW induced the uptake of glucose into HepG2 cells, as well, it induced metabolism of the absorbed glucose. It is concluded that CMW is a candidate or potential use in diabetes prevention and treatment.

A novel ginsenoside-hydrolyzing ${\beta}$-glucosidase was purified from Paecilomyces Bainier sp. 229 by a combination of Q-Sepharose FF, phenyl-Sepharose CL-4B, and CHT ceramic hydroxyapatite column chromatography. The purified enzyme was a monomeric protein with a molecular mass estimated to be 115 kDa. The optimal enzyme activity was observed at pH 3.5 and $60^{\circ}C$. It was highly stable within pH 3-9 and at temperatures lower than $55^{\circ}C$. The enzyme was specific to ${\beta}$-glucoside. The order of enzyme activities against different types of ${\beta}$-glucosidic linkages was ${\beta}$-(1-6)>${\beta}$-(1-2)>${\beta}$-(1-4). The enzyme converted ginsenoside Rb1 to CK specifically and efficiently. An 84.3% amount of ginsenoside Rb1, with an initial concentration of 2 mM, was converted into CK in 24 h by the enzyme at $45^{\circ}C$ and pH 3.5. The hydrolysis pathway of ginsenoside Rb1 by the enzyme was $Rb1{\to}Rd{\to}F2{\to}CK$. Five tryptic peptide fragments of the enzyme were identified by a newly developed de novo sequencing method of post-source decay (PSD) matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry. By comparing the five identified peptide sequences with the NCBI database, this purified ${\beta}$-glucosidase proves to be a new protein that has not been reported before.

There are very few studies about soil chemical and biological properties under tropical dry evergreen forest Coromandel Coast, India. The present study was conducted in six tropical dry evergreen forests sites such as Oorani, Puthupet, Vadaagram, Kotthatai, Sendrakillai and Palvathunnan. We measured the quantity of soil chemical, biological properties and selected soil microorganisms for investigating the impacts of soil microbial populations on soil chemical and biological properties. The result showed that total N, P, Ca, S, Fe, Mn, Cu, Co, exchangeable K, Olson P, extractable Ca and phosphobacterial population were higher in the soil from Kothattai forest site. Organic carbon, total Mg, extractable Na, soil respiration, ${\beta}$-glucosidase activity, bacterial population, fungi population and actinomycetes population were higher in the soil from Palvathunn forest site. Total K, $NH_4{^+}$-N, $NO_3{^-}$-N, exchangeable K, extractable Ca, extractable Na, azotobacter population, bacillus population and rhizobacteria population were higher in the soil from Sendrakillai. Beijerinckia population, rhizobacteria and soluble sodium were higher in Puthupet forest soil. Total Si, total Na and exchangeable K were higher in soil from Oorani forest site. Total Mo and exchangeable K were higher in the soil from Vadaagaram forest site. The results showed that organic carbon, total N, $NH_4{^+}$-N, $NO_3{^-}$-N, extractable P, extractable Ca, soil respiration and ${\beta}$-glucosidase were significantly correlated with soil microbial populations. Therefore soil microorganisms are important factor for maintaining soil quality in tropical dry evergreen forest.

Black jujube was made by aging dried jujube and its physiochemical characteristics, antioxidant activities and ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitory activities were evaluated. The moisture and sugar contents were increased depending on the period of aging times and the pH was reduced thereby increasing acidity. The color of black jujube extract was changed from red to black resulting in decreases of Hunter color values L, a and b. As the aging progressed, sucrose was decomposed by increasing glucose and fructose, indicating higher contents of the total reducing sugars. Among the six different types of organic acids extracted from dried jujube, the levels of oxalic acid and citric acid were increased as the aging progressed. The total polyphenol contents in ethanol and water extracts of dried jujube were 7.74 and 8.12 mg/g, respectively. The water extract of black jujube aged for 48 hr contained the highest polyphenol contents at 16.82 mg/g. The 5'-hydroxymethylfurfural (5'-HMF) contents of black jujube extract significantly increased by longer aging times, and contained higher contents in the ethanol extract than water extract. The ethanol extract of black jujube showed the highest 5'-HMF content with 338.89 mg% after aging for 3 days. Also, $IC_{50}$ values of black jujube aged for 72 hr evaluated by DPPH and ABTS radical assays were 0.54 and 0.59 mg/mL, respectively. ${\alpha}$-Glucosidase inhibitory activities of black jujube at the concentration of 3.33 mg/mL (ethanol extract) increased from 65 to 80 % after aging for 72 hr.

상지 및 상백피 추출물의 식후혈당조절 효과를 확인하기 위하여 Caco-2세포와 Streptozotocin 당뇨유발 동물을 사용하여 시험하였다. Caco-2 세포를 이용하여 상지 상백피 추출물의 포도당 및 과당 흡수 저해 능력을 확인하였으며, 특히 과당 흡수를 저해하는 효과가 강하게 나타났다. 말토오스와 수크로오스를 이용한 ${\alpha}-glucosidase$ 분석을 통해 상지와 상백피 추출물 모두 수크로오스에 대한 ${\alpha}-glucosidase$의 강한 저해활성을 보였다. 시험동물 모델에서는 당뇨 유도를 위해 앞서 2주간 고지방 식이를 급여하였으며, streptozotocin 복강투여 후 공복혈당이 126 mg/dL 이상을 기준으로 하여 당뇨 유도모델이 형성되었음을 확인하였다. 상지 및 상백피 추추물을 단회투여 하여 경구 당부하 검사 결과, 30분대에서 당뇨유도군과 비교했을 때 상지와 상백피 추출물 섭취군에서 모두 혈당이 유의적으로 감소하였다. 또한 28일간 경구투여하여 경구당부하를 측정하였을 때 최고혈중농도에 도달하는 시간을 지연시키는 것으로 관찰되었다. 이상의 결과로 상지 및 상백피 추출물은 식후혈당 조절을 통해 항당뇨 효과를 갖음을 알 수 있었으며, 이는 혈당강하를 목적으로 한 기능성 소재 개발 가능성으로 판단된다. 향후에는 상지 및 상백피 추출물이 췌장 및 간에서 혈당조절에 미치는 영향을 메커니즘 분석을 통해 추가적으로 연구해야 할 것으로 사료된다.

For the investigation of microbiological and immunological specificity of Bacteroides gingivalis, Bacteroides gingivalis were isolated, enumerated and characterized from 13 Korean rapidly progressive periodontitis and 7 healthy control by anaerobic culture technique. The total proportion of black-pigmented Bacteroides from Korean R.P.P. patients and healthy control were 8.78% and 0.92%, respectively, among total isolated black-pigmented Bacteroides. In antibiotic susceptibility test, Bacteroides gingivalis isolated from R.P.P. patients were sensitive to Ampicillin and Tetracycline, and resistant to Gentamicin and Erythromycin in disc diffusion method. In antibiotic broth dilution method, the minimum inhibitory concentration(MIC) to Bacteroides gingivalis was 2 unit/ml of Penicillin and $0.25{\sim}1{\mu}g/ml$ of Tetracycline, respectively. The concentration of serum IgG in rapidly progressive periodontitis patients were sigificantly higher than that of healthy control, and concentration of diluted gingival crevicular IgG has not any significant differences between two groups. Serum and gingival crevicular IgG antibody to Bacteroides gingivalis were significantly higher titer in rapidly progressive periodontitis patients to compare with healthy control. The lipopolysaccharide profiles of 2 Korean B. gingivalis in silver stained sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis were similar to type strains of B. gingivalis and typical LPS band were appeared around the 24-Kd molecular weight. Immunodiffusion test and immunoelectrophoresis of the L.P.S. extracted from 2 Korean B. gingivalis and 2 kinds of type strains of B. gingivalis showed that B. gingivalis Korean-1 was reacted identically to B. gingivalis ATCC 33277. In trypsin and ${\alpha}$-glucosidase activity test of 2 Korean B. gingivalis, both of them revealed positive trypsin and negative ${\alpha}$-glucosidase activity, respectively. These investigation suggested that B. gingivalis is important pathogenic plaque bacteria for the pathogenesis of periodontitis and further study is needed to purify and characterize of the species-specific antigens of this organisms to develop monoclonal antibody and potential diagnostic reagents.
