  • 목 적 : 제3형 당원병은 상염색체 열성으로 유전되는 드문 글리코겐 대사 질환이다. 글리코겐 debranching 효소는 두 가지 효소의 기능을 가지는데, amylo-1,6-glucosidase와 4-alpha-glucanotransferase가 그것이며, 제3형 당원병에서는 글리코겐 debranching 효소의 결핍으로 글리코겐의 불완전한 분해가 초래되며, 다양한 임상 및 생화학적 양상을 보이는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 3명의 한국인 환자의 임상 및 생화학적 양상을 분석하고, AGL 유전자의 돌연변이 형태를 밝히고자 하였다. 방 법 : 서로 혈연 관계가 없는 3명의 한국인 제3형 당원병 환자를 대상으로, 생화학적, 조직학적, 방사선학적 특징을 포함한 임상 양상을 의무 기록을 통하여 조사하였다. 환자의 말초혈액에서 백혈구를 분리하여 추출한 genomic DNA를 사용하여 직접적 염기 서열 분석법으로 AGL 유전자의 35개 exon 및 exon과 intron의 경계 부분을 조사하여 돌연변이를 조사하였다. 결 과 : 간비대, 경련, 저신장, 고지혈증, 간효소 수치의 증가, creatine kinase 수치의 증가, 경도의 심근증 등 다양한 임상 양상이 관찰되었고, 한 명의 환자는 진행성 간섬유화로 인하여 간이식 수술을 시행 받았다. 생옥수수 전분가루의 복용은 모든 환자에서 정상 혈당을 유지시키고, 생화학적 검사 소견을 개선시키며 정상적인 성장 속도를 보이게 하였다. AGL 유전자 분석 결과 6개의 대립유전자 중 5개에서 돌연변이를 확인할 수 있었으며, 이중에 p.R428K를 제외한 4개의 돌연변이는 이제까지 보고된 적이 없는 새로운 돌연변이(c.1306delA, c.1510-1511insT, c.3416 T>C, c.1735+1 G>T)였다. 결 론 : 제3형 당원병은 임상 증상 및 중등도가 다양한 질환으로, 제1형 당원병의 증상과 유사하여 초기에 감별이 쉽지 않으며, 한국인 환자에서의 AGL 유전자의 돌연변이 양상도 매우 이질적이다.

  • 산업활동으로 인해서 발생하는 제강슬래그와 최근 선진국에서 환경개선 및 오염방지를 위한 용도로 활용하고자 활발히 연구되고 있는 제올라이트 등의 다공성 재료를 오염된 하천의 정체수역에 설치하여 저비용으로 수질을 개선시킬 수 있는 기법은 폐기물의 재이용 측면과 하천수질개선 측면에서 매우 필요하다. 현재 제철소에서 발생하는 부산물인 제강슬래그의 화학적성분은 주로 CaO, $SiO_2$, $Al_2O_3$, $Fe_2O_3$ 등으로 이루어져 있으며, 침전유발물질 및 흡착성물질이 함유되어 있다. 제강슬래그는 다공질 형태의 비표면적을 가지고 있어서 정화용 필터나 흡착재로 이용하기에 좋은 이점을 지니고 있다. 그리고 제올라이트는 양이온 교환특성, 흡착특성, 촉매특성, 탈수 및 재흡수특성 등의 이점을 지니고 있어서 축산농가의 환경개선, 도시의 생활하수의 처리, 공업폐수 처리, 음료수 수질개선, 방사성폐기물 처리 및 방사성 물질의 오염방지 등에 응용되고 있다. 그러므로 제강슬래그나 제올라이트를 Mattress/Filter의 채움재 및 수질정화용 여재로 활용함으로써 수질개선 등 효과를 동시에 얻을 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 제강슬래그와 제올라이트가 정체수역에 설치되는 Mattress/Filter시스템의 채움재로 활용할 때 공극률에 따른 수질개선효과를 파악하기 위하여 공극률을 38.6%인 P1, 45.8%인 P2 및 49.8%인 P3로 변화시켜 각각의 유입수와 유출수의 pH, DO, T-N, T-P 등을 측정하여 비교하였다. 수질개선에 사용된 Mattress/Filter시스템은 오염된 하천수가 Mattress/Filter시스템의 공극사이를 통과하면서 채움재에 형성된 다공질에 의한 여과작용과 생물막에 의한 접촉작용, 흡착작용 및 생물분해작용 등을 촉진시키는 기능을 가지고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 제강슬래그 및 제올라이트를 채움재로 사용한 Mattress/Filter 시스템은 쉽게 생물막을 형성시키고 유기물의 흡착을 촉진시켜 오염물질을 정화하는데 필요한 자정작용의 효과를 증대시키고 수질개선을 촉진시킬 수 있는 자연환경에서 하천정화에 이용될 수 있는 시스템임을 확인할 수 있었다.

  • Clubroot disease of crucifers has occurred since 1957. It has spread to the whole China, especially in the southwest and nourtheast where it causes 30-80% loss in some fields. The disease has being expanded in the recent years as seeds are imported and the floating seedling system practices. For its effective control, the Ministry of Agriculture of China set up a program in 2010 and a research team led by Dr. Yueqiu HE, Yunnan Agricultural University. The team includes 20 main reseachers of 11 universities and 5 institutions. After 5 years, the team has made a lot of progresses in disease occurrence regulation, resources collection, resistance identification and breeding, biological agent exploration, formulation, chemicals evaluation, and control strategy. About 1200 collections of local and commercial crucifers were identified in the field and by artificiall inoculation in the laboratories, 10 resistant cultivars were breeded including 7 Chinese cabbages and 3 cabbages. More than 800 antagostic strains were isolated including bacteria, stretomyces and fungi. Around 100 chemicals were evaluated in the field and greenhouse based on its control effect, among them, 6 showed high control effect, especially fluazinam and cyazofamid could control about 80% the disease. However, fluzinam has negative effect on soil microbes. Clubroot disease could not be controlled by bioagents and chemicals once when the pathogen Plasmodiophora brassicae infected its hosts and set up the parasitic relationship. We found the earlier the pathogent infected its host, the severer the disease was. Therefore, early control was the most effective. For Chinese cabbage, all controlling measures should be taken in the early 30 days because the new infection could not cause severe symptom after 30 days of seeding. For example, a biocontrol agent, Bacillus subtilis Strain XF-1 could control the disease 70%-85% averagely when it mixed with seedling substrate and was drenching 3 times after transplanting, i.e. immediately, 7 days, 14 days. XF-1 has been deeply researched in control mechanisms, its genome, and development and application of biocontrol formulate. It could produce antagonistic protein, enzyme, antibiotics and IAA, which promoted rhizogenesis and growth. Its The genome was sequenced by Illumina/Solexa Genome Analyzer to assembled into 20 scaffolds then the gaps between scaffolds were filled by long fragment PCR amplification to obtain complet genmone with 4,061,186 bp in size. The whole genome was found to have 43.8% GC, 108 tandem repeats with an average of 2.65 copies and 84 transposons. The CDSs were predicted as 3,853 in which 112 CDSs were predicted to secondary metabolite biosynthesis, transport and catabolism. Among those, five NRPS/PKS giant gene clusters being responsible for the biosynthesis of polyketide (pksABCDEFHJLMNRS in size 72.9 kb), surfactin(srfABCD, 26.148 kb, bacilysin(bacABCDE 5.903 kb), bacillibactin(dhbABCEF, 11.774 kb) and fengycin(ppsABCDE, 37.799 kb) have high homolgous to fuction confirmed biosynthesis gene in other strain. Moreover, there are many of key regulatory genes for secondary metabolites from XF-1, such as comABPQKX Z, degQ, sfp, yczE, degU, ycxABCD and ywfG. were also predicted. Therefore, XF-1 has potential of biosynthesis for secondary metabolites surfactin, fengycin, bacillibactin, bacilysin and Bacillaene. Thirty two compounds were detected from cell extracts of XF-1 by MALDI-TOF-MS, including one Macrolactin (m/z 441.06), two fusaricidin (m/z 850.493 and 968.515), one circulocin (m/z 852.509), nine surfactin (m/z 1044.656~1102.652), five iturin (m/z 1096.631~1150.57) and forty fengycin (m/z 1449.79~1543.805). The top three compositions types (contening 56.67% of total extract) are surfactin, iturin and fengycin, in which the most abundant is the surfactin type composition 30.37% of total extract and in second place is the fengycin with 23.28% content with rich diversity of chemical structure, and the smallest one is the iturin with 3.02% content. Moreover, the same main compositions were detected in Bacillus sp.355 which is also a good effects biocontol bacterial for controlling the clubroot of crucifer. Wherefore those compounds surfactin, iturin and fengycin maybe the main active compositions of XF-1 against P. brassicae. Twenty one fengycin type compounds were evaluate by LC-ESI-MS/MS with antifungal activities, including fengycin A $C_{16{\sim}C19}$, fengycin B $C_{14{\sim}C17}$, fengycin C $C_{15{\sim}C18}$, fengycin D $C_{15{\sim}C18}$ and fengycin S $C_{15{\sim}C18}$. Furthermore, one novel compound was identified as Dehydroxyfengycin $C_{17}$ according its MS, 1D and 2D NMR spectral data, which molecular weight is 1488.8480 Da and formula $C_{75}H_{116}N_{12}O_{19}$. The fengycin type compounds (FTCPs $250{\mu}g/mL$) were used to treat the resting spores of P. brassicae ($10^7/mL$) by detecting leakage of the cytoplasm components and cell destruction. After 12 h treatment, the absorbencies at 260 nm (A260) and at 280 nm (A280) increased gradually to approaching the maximum of absorbance, accompanying the collapse of P. brassicae resting spores, and nearly no complete cells were observed at 24 h treatment. The results suggested that the cells could be lyzed by the FTCPs of XF-1, and the diversity of FTCPs was mainly attributed to a mechanism of clubroot disease biocontrol. In the five selected medium MOLP, PSA, LB, Landy and LD, the most suitable for growth of strain medium is MOLP, and the least for strains longevity is the Landy sucrose medium. However, the lipopeptide highest yield is in Landy sucrose medium. The lipopeptides in five medium were analyzed with HPLC, and the results showed that lipopeptides component were same, while their contents from B. subtilis XF-1 fermented in five medium were different. We found that it is the lipopeptides content but ingredients of XF-1 could be impacted by medium and lacking of nutrition seems promoting lipopeptides secretion from XF-1. The volatile components with inhibition fungal Cylindrocarpon spp. activity which were collect in sealed vesel were detected with metheds of HS-SPME-GC-MS in eight biocontrol Bacillus species and four positive mutant strains of XF-1 mutagenized with chemical mutagens, respectively. They have same main volatile components including pyrazine, aldehydes, oxazolidinone and sulfide which are composed of 91.62% in XF-1, in which, the most abundant is the pyrazine type composition with 47.03%, and in second place is the aldehydes with 23.84%, and the third place is oxazolidinone with 15.68%, and the smallest ones is the sulfide with 5.07%.
