The effect of carbon and nitrogen sources on the production of novel aminopeptidase M inhibitors MR-387A and B by Streptomyces sp. SL-387 has been studied. High D-glucose and ammonia concentrations (5$\%$ and 1$\%$, respectively) exerted a negative influence on the inhibitor formation. The suppressive effect of glucose on the inhibitor formation is probably caused by an effect of medium pH rather than that of cyclic AMP. To establish the optimum conditions for inhibitor overproduction, various nitrogen sources and ammonium ion-trapping agents were examined. The use of ammonia slow-releasing nitrogen sources such as soybean meal and fish meal, or ammonium ion-trapping agents such as kaoline, celite, and natural zeolite achieved the enhancement of inhibitor production. These results also indicate that inhibitor formation is affected by ammonium ion repression.

본 총설에서는 아미노산의 공업적 생산균인 Corynebacterium glutamicum의 탄소 대사 및 이와 관련된 총체적 조절 메커니즘에 대한 최근의 연구를 정리하였다. C. glutamicum의 산업적 발효을 위한 기질로서 사용되는 당밀은 주로 sucrose, glucose, fructose로 이루어져 있으며, 이들 당은 phosphotransferase system을 통해서 수송된다. C. glutamicum의 탄소 대사 특징은 glucose가 다른 당이나 유기산 등과 함께 존재할 때, glucose와 이러한 탄소원 들을 동시에 대사한다. 그러나 glucose/glutamate 혹은 glucose/ethanol 등의 혼합물에서 는 탄소원의 순차적 이용으로 인해 나타나는 diauxic growth 현상을 나타내며, 이러한 carbon catabolite repression(CCR) 현상은 E. coli나 B. subtilis 등에서 알려진 것과는 다른 독특한 분자적 메커니즘과 조절 circuits을 가지고 있음이 밝혀지고 있다. C. glutamicum의 CRP homologue인 GlxR은 acetate 대사를 포함하여 glycolysis, gluconeogenesis 및 TCA cycle 등을 포함하는 중심탄소대사 조절 뿐만 아니라, 다양한 세포 기능의 조절에 관여하는 총체적 조절 단백질로서의 역할이 제시되고 있다. C. glutamicum의 adenylate cyclase(AC)는 막과 결합된 class IIIAC 로서, 막 단백질의 특성상 아직 규명되어 있지 않은 세포 외부의 환경 변화에 대응하여 세포 내의 cAMP합성 수준을 조절할 수 있는 sensor로 추정할 수 있다. 특히 C. glutamicum의 경우 배지내 glucose 를 비롯한 탄소원과 cAMP 농도와의 관련성이 E. coli에서 알려진 교과서적 지식과는 상반되게 변화하는 경향을 보이고 있어, cAMP signaling에 의한 세포 내 regulatory network 등은 향후 풀어야 할 의문으로 남아있다. 탄소대사 조절의 최상위에 존재하며 global 조절자인 GlxRcAMP 복합체 이외에도 차상위 전사조절 단백질로서 RamB, RamA, SugR 등이 존재하여 다양한 탄소대사를 조절한다. 최근 들어서는 새로운 탄소원으로서 대두되고 있는 biomass 관련 기질들을 이용할 수 있는 C. glutamucum 균주 구축을 통하여 이용 기질의 범위를 확대시키고자 하는 연구 및 탄소 대사와 관련하여 L-lysine의 발효 수율 혹은 생산성을 향상시키고자 하는 다양한 분자적 균주 육종 연구 등이 수행되고 있다.

The effects of carbon sources on vancomycin production were investigated using Nocardia orientalis CSVC 3300. Among carbon sources tested, glucose, maltose and fructose were effective for the production of vancomycin. Glucose was favored for growth, but decrease the production of vancomycin at the concentration above 7.5%. In comparison, maltose did not decrease the production of vancomycin up to the concentration of 20%. When the mixture of glucose and maltose was used in the ratio 1:3 to 1:4, the highest production of vancomycin was achieved. When glucose concentration was set at 3.0%, catabolite repression could not be observed up to total sugar concentration of 16.0%. Fermentation was carried out using commercial hydrolyzed starch composed of glucose, maltose, maltotriose and maltotetraose, The initial glucose concentration was set at 3.0% and subsequent oligosaccharide consumption was monitored by checking their supernatant with HPLC. During initial cultivation for 38 hour, glucose was the sole carbon source leading to rapid growth. After cell growth stopped, the maltose and glucose concentrations increased due to degradation of maltotriose and maltotetraose, but glucose level was maintained at around 3.0%. After 70 hour fermentation, maltose slowly converted to glucose, and vancomycin production continued during the period.

Lactobacillus brevis ATCC 14869 exhibited a carbon catabolite derepressed phenotype that has ability to consume fermentable sugars simultaneously with glucose. To evaluate this unusual phenotype under harsh conditions during fermentation, the effects of lactic acid and hydrogen ion concentrations on L. brevis ATCC 14869 were examined. Kinetic equations describing the relationship between specific cell growth rate and lactic acid or hydrogen ion concentration were deduced empirically. The change of substrate utilization and product formation according to lactic acid and hydrogen ion concentration in the media were quantitatively described. Although the simultaneous utilization has been observed regardless of hydrogen ion or lactic acid concentration, the preference of substrates and the formation of two-carbon products were changed significantly. In particular, acetic acid present in the medium as sodium acetate was consumed by L. brevis ATCC 14869 under extreme pH of both acid and alkaline conditions.

The effects of growth temperature and a carbon source on the expression of $\beta$-galactosidase gene of Lactococcus lactis ssp. lactis ATCC 7962 (L. lactis 7962) were investigated. At $25^{\circ}C$, L. lactis 7962 had a higher $\beta$-galactosidase activity than cells grown at $30^{\circ}C$ or $37^{\circ}C$, although cells grew most quickly at $37^{\circ}C$ The highest $\beta$-galactosidase activity was observed in cells grown in M17 with lactose (l %) followed by cells grown in a galactose (1 %) medium. L. lactis 7962 exhibited the minimum $\beta$-galactosidase activity in glucose media, indicating catabolite repression. When the cellular levels of $\beta$-galactosidase mRNA were examined using slot blot hybridization, no significant differences were observed between cells grown at $25^{\circ}C$ and cells at $30^{\circ}C$ or $37^{\circ}C$ in the same media. This suggests that the quantity of $\beta$-galactosidase mRNA may not be the reason for the higher $\beta$-galactosidase activities of L. lactis 7962 at $25^{\circ}C$ The level of ccpA (Catabolite Control Protein) transcript remained almost constant during the exponential growth phase irrespective of a carbon sourse.

Leuconostoc mesenteroides SY1, an isolate from kimchi, was able to ferment $\alpha$-galactosides, such as melibiose and raffinose. $\alpha$-Galactosidase ($\alpha$-Gal) activity was higher in cells grown on melibiose and raffinose than cells grown on galactose, sucrose, and fructose. $\alpha$-Gal activity was not detected in cells grown on glucose, indicating the operation of carbon catabolite repression (CCR). A 6 kb DNA fragment was PCR amplified using a primer set based on the nucleotide sequence of a putative $\alpha$-galactosidase gene (aga) from L. mesenteroides ATCC 8293. Nucleotide sequencing of the 6 kb fragment confirmed the presence of aga and other genes involved in the galactosides utilization, and the gene order was galR (transcriptional regulator)-aga-gaIK (galactokinase)-gaIT (galactose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase). Northern blotting experiment showed that aga, gaIK, and gaIT constituted the same operon, that the transcription was induced by galactosides, such as melibiose and raffinose, whereas gaIR was independently transcribed as a monocistronic gene, and that the level of transcription was fairly constant. The aga was overexpressed in E. coli BL21 (DE3) using pET26b(+) vector, and $\alpha$-Gal was accumulated in E. coli as an inclusion body.

Syntheses of the B. stearothermophilus xylanolytic enzymes such as xylanases, ${\beta}$-xylosidases, ${\alpha}$-arabinofurano-sidases, and esterases, were observed to be regulated by the carbon source present in the culture media. Xylan induced synthesis of ${\beta}$-xylosidase at the highest level while xylose gave about 30% of the ${\beta}$-xylosidase activity induced by xylan. The lowest syntheses of the xylanolytic enzymes above mentioned were detected in the basal medium containing glucose as a sole carbon source. When a mixture of xylan and glucose was used as a carbon source, we could observe glucose repression of xylanase (about 70-fold) and ${\beta}$-xylosidase (about 40-fold) syntheses. Whereas, the level of the glucose repression of the expression of the xylA gene encoding the major ${\beta}$-xylosidase of B. stearothermophilus was assessed to be about l0-fold when the relative amounts of the xylA transcript were determined. From the sequence of the xylA gene, we could find two CRE-like sequences (CRE-l: nucleotides ＋124 to ＋136 and CRE-2:＋247 to ＋259) within the reading frame of the xylA gene, either or both of which were suspected to be involved in catabolite repression of the xylA gene.

Selection of high producer strain, optimization of production medium and cultivation in bioreactor system were carried out in order to produce an antifungal substance, PAFS in large amounts which sources and 41 kinds of nitrogen sources, a synthetic medium consisting of fructose(70 g/1) and ammonium sulfate (10g/l) and a complex medium including galactose(30g/l), fructose(20g/l) and cottonseed flour(35g/l) were determined as opti-mized media for PAFS production. In bioreactor studies examining physiological characteristics of the pro- ducer microorganism with the complex medium, typical pattern of diauxic growth was observed as demonstrated by the result that fructose was not used before almost exhaustion on readily utilizable carbon source, galactose. When galactose was supplemented additionally during the fermentation period. PAFS pro-ductivity did no increases any more, indicating that large portion of the added galactose was used for cell growth instead of biosynthesis of the secondary metabolite. It was deduced that PAFS production could be enhananced by employing fed-batch operation in order to overcome the apparent phenomenon of catabolite repression and /or inhibition.
