Bacillus strains capable of producing fibrinolytic enzyme were isolated from traditional fermented Korean soybean paste and Japanese fermented soybean (Natto). Among the 16 strains, a selected Bacillus sp. was identified as bacillus firmus, with 80.7％ homology, by API kit analysis. Seed starter or B. firmus NA-1 was prepared with 5％ soymilk prepared from micronized soybean powder. To produce fibrinolytic enzyme by B. firmus NA-1 the liquid culture was performed with NB broth (pH 7.0) fortified with 1％ galactose, 0.1% tryptone, and 0.5% $K_2$HPO$_4$, by shaking with 180 rpm at 37$^{\circ}C$. Fibrinolytic enzyme activity reached the highest value at 7.8 unit/mL (plasmin unit) after fermentation for 72 hr. The crude fibrinolytic enzyme showed higher relative activity in the range of pH 7.0∼9.0. The activity of crude fibrinolytic enzyme was well maintained even after concentration by the vacuum evaporation at 5$0^{\circ}C$ for 1 hr.

Alkalophilic Bacillus sp. YJ-451, which was isolated from soil at several area in Korea, produced a novel type of bacteriolytic enzyme (cell wall peptidoglycan hydrolase) extracellulary. The cell wall hydrolytic activity was identified as a clear zone on sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis containing 0.2% (w/v) cell wall of Bacillus sp. as substrate. This enzyme was successively purified 66 fold with 3.2% yield in culture broth by ammonium sulfate precipitation, CM-cellulose column chromatography, and gel filtration, followed by hydroxylapatite column chromatography. The molecular weight of the purified enzyme was estimated to be 27,000 by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and gel filtration column chromatography. The optimum pH and temperature for the activity of the enzyme were pH 10.0 and $50^{\circ}C$, respectively. The enzyme was stable between pH 5.0 and 10.0 and up to $40^{\circ}C$. Among the microorganisms used in this experiment the enzyme was active against most of gram negative strains and the genus Bacillus such as B. megaterium, B. licheniformis, B. circulans, B. pumilus, B. macerans, B. polymyxa. The release of dinitrophenylglutamic acid but not reducing group from cell wall peptidoglycan digested by the enzyme suggested that the enzyme is a kind of peptidase which hydrolyzes the peptide bond at the amino group of D-glutamic acid in the peptidoglycan.

Hot water extract from mugwort (Artemisia asiatica nakai) leaves and tea inhibited the growth of Bacillus subtilis by adding to the nutrient broth 1.0% and 0.5% concentration, respectively. Among the important compounds that contributing mugwort like flavor to the mugwort leaves and tea were considered, authenic compound of thujone, caryophyllene and farnesol showed bactericidal effect for Escherichia coli, Enterobacter aerogenes, Vibrio paraheaemolyticus, Psudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus when teste by paper disc method ( 8 mm diameter). The mixture of caryophyllene and farnesol was more bactericidal effect for various bacteria than the mixture of thujone, caryophyllene and farnesol was more bactericidal effect for various bacteria that the mixture of thujone, caryophyllene and farnesol or each compounds . Especially, the mixture of caryophyllene and farnesol showed strong bactericidal effect (diameter of inhibition zone>40mm) for Vibrio parahaemolyticus , Enterobacter aerogenes and BAcillus subtilis.

For a biological control of root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne incognita) in tomato, efficiency of Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. indiana strain TH109 (BtTH109) on the nematode control was investigated. After the mixture of strain BtTH109 and wheat bran was treated into rhizosphere of the tomato plants with nematode eggs, the stem height and root growth of plants increased. And the juveniles and eggs of nematode are not found in both roots of tomatoes and pot soil after cultured broth of the strain BtTH109 treated 4 times at 3 day-interval into rhizosphere of the infected tomatoes.

Acyl CoA synthetase inhibitor, was purified from the culture broth of a Bacillus sp. B-6, which had been isolated from soil, by chloroform extract, silica gel column chro matography and preparative TLC. The purified acyl CoA synthetase inhibitor showed higher Antifungal activity against C. al-bicans (MIC: 8${\mu}$g/ml). Though the analysis of UV spectrum, melting point, IR spectrum, Mass-spectrum, $^1H$-NMR and $^{13}C$-NMR spectrum, the inhibitor could be identified as phenazine-l-carboxylic acid.

Bacillus subtilis DT134 was resistant to 50-fold higher concentration of cadmium ions (Cd2+) than cadmium-sensitive B. subtilis BD224 in Luria Broth (LB) medium. Minimal inhibition concentration test in LB agar plates also showed similar results. The elevated cadmium resistance of B. subtilis DT134 strongly suggested a possible existence of cadmium resistance gene in it. Southern blot with Staphylococcus aureus cadA gene fragment (757 bp NlaIV-XmnI cadA DNA fragment) as probe was carried out to test the existence and similarity of the gene. In high stringency condition, there was no detectable signal, but in low stringency, a strong signal specific to the cadA probe could be detected. These results strongly suggested that there was some similarity between total DNA of B. subtilis DT134 and S. aureus pl258 in terms of cadmium resistance gene and the resistance mechanism might be an efflux mechanism. The subsequent efflux experiment showed that the cadmium resistance mechanism of B. subtilis DT134 was also due to the efflux of cadmium.

Cycloinulooligosaccharide fructanotransferase (CFTase) which produces cyclofructan from inulin was purified 332-fold from a culture broth of Bacillus macerans CFCl. The molecular mass of the CFTase was estimated to be 110 kDa by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and gel filtration, indicating that the enzyme has a monomer structure. The maximal level of enzyme activity was observed at pH 7.5 and $45^{\circ}C$. The enzyme was stable in the pH range 6.0 to 9.5, and at temperatures up to $45^{\circ}C$ for 1 h. The enzyme activity was completely inhibited in the presence of 0.5 mM $Ag^+\;or\;Cu^2+$ ion. None of sucrose (GF), l-kestose (GF2), or nystose (GF3) were found to be substrates for the CFTase, but inulooligosaccharides larger than nystose were attacked by the enzyme. The CFTase catalyzes not only the cyclization as the major reaction, but also disproportionation and coupling reactions involving intermolecular transfructosylation in the same manner as cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase) (EC 2.4.1.19).

곤충병원세균인 제노랍두스($Xenorhabdus$ sp.)는 곤충병원선충인 $Steinernema$ $monticolum$으로부터 분리되었다. 이 세균 배양액을 배추좀나방($Plutella$ $xylostella$) 혈강에 주입할 경우 높은 병원력을 나타내지만, 섭식 처리할 경우 낮은 병원력을 보였다. 본 연구는 이 제노랍두스 세균 배양액이 $Bacillus$ $thuringiensis$(비티)와 혼합하여 배추좀나방 종령충에 처리할 경우 비티의 병원력을 뚜렷하게 증가시키는 것을 보였다. 또한 제노랍두스 배양액과 비티의 혼합비율을 달리할 경우 병원력이 크게 차이를 보였다. 최적의 두 세균 혼합비율을 이용하여 야외에 발생한 배추좀나방에 처리하였으며, 비티 단독처리에 비해 뚜렷이 상승된 방제 효과를 확인할 수 있었다. 이러한 결과는 제노랍두스 배양액을 비티와 혼합하여 새로운 미생물 살충제로 개발할 수 있는 가능성을 제시했다.
