Bacillus pumilus TX703으로부터 xylanase를 정제한 후 효소의 활성부위를 조사하기 위하여 여러 가지 화학수식제를 사용하여 효소활성의 저해도를 측정하였다. 여러 가지 화학수식제 중에서 carbodiimide와 N-bromosuccinimide가 효소활성을 완전히 저 해시 켜 glutamic acid 또는 aspartic acid 잔기와 tryptophan 잔기가 효소의 활성부위에 관여하리라 추측되었다. 각각의 경우에 효소 실활은 수식제의 첨가농도에 따라 pseudo first-order kinetics 양식을 보여주었으며, car-bodiimide와 N-bromosuccinimide는 각각 비경쟁적 저해와 경쟁적 저해방식을 나타내었다. 기질첨가에 의한 효소활성 보호실험을 통하여 tryptophan 잔기가 기질결합부위라 판단되었다. 효소실활속도의 분석에 의해 효소활성에는 2개의 glutamic acid 또는 aspartic acid 잔기와 1개의 tryptophan 잔기가 관여하는 것으로 나타났다.

Xylanase를 생산하는 내열성 Bacillus pumilus TX703의 chromosomal DNA로부터 xylanase 유전자를 cloning하여 그 염기배열 순서를 결정한 다음 이로부터 유전자 발현에 관련된 구조를 분석하였다. Xylanase 유전자의 cloning을 위해 제한효소 HindIII로 절단한 B. pumilus TX703의 chromosomal DNA와 pUC19을 ligation시켜 E. coli DH5 $\alpha$에 형질전환시킨 후 형질전환체 중에서 xylanase 활성을 나타내는 재조합 plasmid pXES106을 분리하였다. 재조합 plasmid pXES106은 pUC19의 HindIII 부위 내에 2.24 kb의 외래 DNA가 삽입되었고, 이 plasmid DNA를 분리하여 E. coli DH5 $\alpha$에 재형질전환시킨 결과 vector 내에 xylanase 유전자가 cloning되었음을 확인하였다. Cloning된 유전자의 염기배열을 분석한 결과 이 유전자의 총 크기는 2,187 bp였고 이는 409개기 아미노산을 coding 하는 open reading frame 1,227 bp를 포함하고 있었다. 이 염기배열은 ATG개시 codon으로부터 각각 193과 216 base 상류에 TTTAAT의 -10 box와 TCGAAA인 -35 box로 추정되는 염기배열이 존재하였고 -10 box로부터 7 bp하류에 전사개시점인 A가 위치하고 있었다. 또한, 개시 codon으로부터 432 bp 상류에 공통염기배열과 14개의 염기 중 11개의 염기가 일치하는 TGATGGCGTCGGCA의 catabolite responsive element (CRE)가 존재하였다. B. pumilus TX703의 xylanase와 아미노산배열의 유사성이 가장 높은 xylanase는 Hordeum vulgare의 isozyme X-I이었고 본 xylanase는 208번째와 322번째에 glutamic acid 잔기를 가지고 있어 Clostridium thermocellum, Dictyoglomus thermophilum, Thermotoga neapolitana 등에서 밝혀진 바와 같이 glutamic acid 부위가 xylanase의 활성부위라 여겨진다.

Xylanase have been used to convert the polymetric xylan into fermentable sugars from the production of ethanol and xylitol from plant biomass. The aim of this study was to isolate and identify xylanolytic bacterium from herbivore feces and was to used the xylanase for enzymatic hydrolysis of biomass. Xylanolytic strains were isolated from 59 different feces of herbivores from Seoul Grand Park located in Gwacheon Gyeonggi-do. The xylanolytic strains were selected by congo red staining and DNS method. Total 67 strains isolated from the herbivores feces were tested for xylanase activity. Among the strains, H10-1, which has the highest xylanase activity, was isolated from feces of Ceratotherium simum. The H10-1 strain was identified as Bacillus pumilus based on its morphological/biochemical characteristics and partial 16S rDNA gene sequences. Culture conditions of B. pumilus H10-1 such as initial medium pH, incubation temperature and incubation time were optimized for maximum xylanase production. And also xylanase produced by B. pumilus H10-1 was applied for the saccharification of Miscanthus sacchariflorus cv. 'Geodae 1', which was pretreated with 1.5M NaOH. The optimized culture conditions of B. pumilus H10-1 were pH 9, $30^{\circ}C$ incubation temperature, and 7 day incubation time, respectively. This xylanase activity under the optimized conditions was $20.4{\pm}3.3IU$. The crude xylanase produced by B. pumilus H10-1 was used for the saccharification of xylan derived from pretreated 'Geodae 1'. The saccharification conditions were $50^{\circ}C$, 200 rpm, and 5 days. Saccharification efficiency of pretreated 'Geodae 1' by B. pumilus H10-1 was 8.2%.

A new alkalophilic strain of Bacillus pumilus JB¬05 producing bleach-stable and halo-tolerant alkaline protease was isolated from cement industry effluents in Karnataka, India. The effects of carbon and nitrogen sources on protease production by this alkalophilic strain were observed after a 30-h incubation. A high level of alkaline protease activity was obtained in the presence of starch as the carbon and peptone as the nitrogen sources. The partially purified enzyme showed an optimum temperature and pH activity at $58^{\circ}C$ and 10.5, respectively. The enzyme was completely inhibited by PMSF (95.0%) indicating it as a serine protease. It is bleach-stable as it retained 35% original activity in the presence of 10% (v/v) hydrogen peroxide at $30^{\circ}$C after 2 h and is halo-tolerant as it retained 70% original activity in the presence of 2.5 M sodium chloride at $30^{\circ}C$ after 2 h incubation.

Bacillus pumilus 2.g isolated from gembus, an Indonesian fermented soybean cake, secretes several proteases that have strong fibrinolytic activities. A fibrinolytic enzyme with an apparent molecular weight of 20 kDa was purified from the culture supernatant of B. pumilus 2.g by sequential application of ammonium sulfate precipitation, ion-exchange chromatography, and hydrophobic chromatography. The partially purified enzyme was stable between pH 5 and pH 9 and temperature of less than $60^{\circ}C$. Fibrinolytic activity was increased by 5 mM $MgCl_2$ and 5 mM $CaCl_2$ but inhibited by 1 mM phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride (PMSF), 1 mM sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), and 1 mM ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA). The partially purified enzyme quickly degraded the ${\alpha}$ and ${\beta}$ chains of fibrinogen but was unable to degrade the ${\gamma}$ chain.

Bacillus pumilus is one of the most characterized microorganisms that are used for high-level production of select industrial enzymes. A novel B. pumilus SCU11 strain possessing high alkaline protease activity was obtained in our previous work. The culture supernatant of this strain showed efficient dehairing capability with minimal collagen damage, indicating promising potential applications in the leather industry. In this study, the strain's extracellular proteome was identified by LC-MS/MS-based shotgun proteomic analysis, and their related secretory pathways were characterized by BLAST searches. A total of 513 proteins, including 100 actual secreted and 413 intracellular proteins, were detected in the extracellular proteome. The functions of these secreted proteins were elucidated and four complete secretory systems (Sec, Tat, Com, and ABC transporter) were proposed for B. pumilus. These data provide B. pumilus a comprehensive extracellular proteome profile, which is a valuable theoretical and applicative basis for future genetic modifications and development of industrial enzymes.

돈분 고속발효에 적합한 미생물 제제를 개발하기 위하여 Bacillus속을 돈분에서 분리한 후,분리 균주의 생장능력, 효소활성 및 상호균주에 대한 항균활성을 비교 분석하였다. 분리된 4종을 동정한 결과, Bacillus cereus KD-2, B. pumilus KD-3, B. licheniformis KD-4로 분석되었고, 분리균주 KD-1은 그 어떤 Bacillus 종들과도 높은 일치성을 보이지 않았다. 생장최고온도는 Bacillus sp. KD-1이 $45^{\circ}C$, B. cereus KD-2가 $50^{\circ}C$, B. pumilus KD-3는 $53^{\circ}C$, B. licheniformis KD-4는 $55^{\circ}C$이었다. 이들 균주 모두를 혼합한 미생물 제제의 효소활성은 protease와 amylase는 37-$53^{\circ}C$ 범위에서 그 활성도에 차이를 보이지 않았고, lipase는 37-$42^{\circ}C$에서의 효소활성이 47-$53^{\circ}C$에 비해 2배 이상 높았다. 혼합 미생물 제제에 사용된 균주들의 상호 항균활성은 Bacillus sp. KD-1, B. cereus KD-2, B. pumilus KD-3는 타 균주의 생장에 영향을 주지 않았고, B. licheniformis KD-4의 배양 상층액을 10% (v/v)의 농도로 첨가시 다른 균주의 생장에 거의 영향을 주지 않았으나, 50% (v/v)로 혼합할 경우 다른 균주들의 생장을 억제하였다. 이 미생물 혼합 제제로 발효된 유기질비료의 성분은 유기물이 61.9%, 질소가 1.6%, C/N비가 22.4%, 인산이 0.21%, 칼리가 1.0%로 분석되었다. 발효 부산물인 액체비료의 암모니아 가스농도는 12.35 mg/1로 낮게 검출되었다.

In this study we analyzed the dynamic changes in microbiota composition during kochujang fermentation at $30^{\circ}C$. During fermentation, the viable cell counts slowly increased and reached $3.2{\times}10^7$ for aerobic bacteria, $8.3{\times}10^3$ for yeast, and $1.4{\times}10^3$ CFU/mL for fungi after 60 days. Bacilli were found to be the most dominant microorganisms throughout the fermentation process. Using the culture dependent method Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus licheniformis, and Bacillus amyloquefaciens were found to be the main species during the early stages of fermentation; however, Bacillus pumilus and Bacillus stearothermophilus became the most dominant species during the late stage of fermentation. In contrast, when the polymerase chain reaction-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (PCR-DGGE) method was used Bacillus ehimensis was found to be the dominant species during the early stage of fermentation and Bacillus megaterium, B. pumilus, B. subtilis, and B. licheniformis were dominant in the ate stages. These results indicate various other Bacillus species rather than just B. subtilis and B. licheniformis might be involved in the fermentation of kochujang.
