CMCase produced by recombinant E. coli JM109 (pCEH#4) containing CMCase gene from Cellulomonas sp. YE-5 was purified to 24.3 fold and 2.6% yield by ammoniumsulfate precipitation, DEAE-cellulose column chromatography and gel filtration on Sephadex G-100. The optimum pH and temperature for CMCase activity were pH 7.0 and 5$0^{\circ}C$. The enzyme was stable between pH 5.0 and 10.0, and up to 6$0^{\circ}C$. The molecular weight of he enzyme was estimated to be approximately 40,000 daltons by SDS-PAGE. Analysis of the amino acid composition showed that the enzyme contained many glycines and acidic amino acids. The enzyme was an endo-type CMCase and the final enzyme reaction product from hydrolysis of Cm-cellulose by the enzyme was cellobiose. {TEX}$K_{M}${/TEX} value determined with CM-cellulose was 1.28mM.

섬유소 분해균 Cellulomonas sp. CS 1-1에 대하여 종 수준으로 분류학적 위치를 규명하기 위하여 7개 type strain 균주와 함께 생리적 및 생화학적 특성을 조사하고 DNA 상등성 및 지방산의 조성 등을 분석하여 비교한 결과, CS 1-1의 콜로니 형태는 circular, entire, smooth, convex하며, 담황색을 띤 $0.3{\sim}0.5{\times}0.8{\sim}1.2{\mu}m$ 크기의 간균이었다. 생리학적 특징으로서 비운동성의 통성혐기성 중온균으로서 Gram양성, catalase양성, oxidase음성, 탄수화물 발효성 등의 표현형은 Cellulomonas 속의 타종과 동일하였으며, 특히 D-ribose, raffinose, rhamnose, xylitol, acetate, L-lactate, propionate, aspartate, proline 등 조사한 모든 탄소원의 이용성이 없었으며, 반면에 sacchrose, arabinose 및 amylose의 이용성은 양성으로 판정되었다. G+C 함량 74.76 mol %, 주요 지방산과 quinone 성분은 전형적인 Cellulomonas의 12-methyltetradecanoic acid (anteiso-$C_{15:1}$)과 MK-$9(H_4)$이었으며, DNA의 상동성 비율은 C. uda ATCC 491과 70%, C. fimi ATCC 15724와 54~59 %, C. gelida 및 C. bibula와도 46~48%의 상동성을 나타내었다. 이상의 결과는 CS1-1이 현재 Cellulomonas 속에 인정된 7개의 type species 중 C. uda ATCC 491 균주와 가장 높은 근연성을 나타냄으로서 C. uda에 속하는 novel species로 분류될 수 있다.

Hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) is recognized to be carcinogenic and toxic and registered as a contaminant in many drinking water regulations. It occurs naturally and is also produced by industrial processes. The reduction of Cr(VI) to Cr(III) has been a central topic for chromium remediation since Cr(III) is less toxic and less mobile. In this study, fermentative Fe(III)-reducing bacterial strains (Cellu-2a, Cellu-5a, and Cellu-5b) were isolated from a groundwater sample and were phylogenetically related to species of Cellulomonas by 16S rRNA gene analysis. One selected strain, Cellu-2a showed its capacity of reduction of both soluble iron (ferric citrate) and solid iron (hydrous ferric oxide, HFO), as well as aqueous Cr(VI). The strain Cellu-2a was able to reduce 15 μM Cr(VI) directly with glucose or sucrose as a sole carbon source under the anaerobic condition and indirectly with one of the substrates and HFO in the same incubations. The heterogeneous reduction of Cr(VI) by the surface-associated reduced iron from HFO by Cellu-2a likely assisted the Cr(VI) reduction. Fermentative features such as large-scale cell growth may impose advantages on the application of bacterial Cr(VI) reduction over anaerobic respiratory reduction.

148종의 시료로부터 301주의 섬유소 분해세균을 분리하였고 그 중 cellulase 활성이 가장 높은 균주를 선발하여 동정한 결과, Cellulomonas sp. KL-6로 확인하였다. KL-6 균주는 약 50시간만에 여과지(whatman No.1)를 붕괴하였고 congo red 반응으로 본 halo 환의 직경은 11 cm였으며 또한, CMCase의 활성은 67 unit/ml, FPase는 70 unit/ml, ${\beta}-glucosidase$는 0.68 unit/ml로 나타났다. 여과지를 기질로 하여 배양하였을 때 배양액 중에 유리된 glucose의 유무를 확인하였으나 추적할 만한 양이 없었다. KL-6 균주의 균체증식 최적 배양조건은 sucrose 0.5%, yeast extract 0.1%, $(NH_4)_2HPO_4\;0.1%$, $K_2HPO_4\;0.1%$, $MgSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O\;0.01%$, $CaCl_2\; 0.01%$, NaCl 0.6%, $CaCO_3\;0.1%$, pH 7.0 및 온도 $30^{\circ}C$였다.

Experiments were carried out to find the possibility of an economic production of single cell protein(SCP) in mixed culture by Cellulomonas sp. KL-6 and a second organism. The second organism, strain LI-10, was isolated from the large intestines of a mouse. 1. When these strains were mixed, cell growth and carboxymethyl cellulase (CMCase) activity were increased to about 63% and 161%, respectively compared with that of single culture of strain KL-6. We found the mixed culture as a proper method of degradation of cellulose in our study. 2. Strain LI-10 was identified as E. coli. 3. This strain produced trace amounts of cellobiose, but glucose was not found in detectable amounts in the filter paper(FP) medium. 4. $CaCO_3$ injected in the medium at the ratio of 0.1% not only enhanced cell growth but also was effective as an acid neutralizing agent. 5. When this organism was cultured under the optimal medium (glucose 0.1%, $NH_4Cl$ 0.1%, yeast extract 2.0%, $KH_2PO_4$ 0.1%, KCl 0.05%, pH 7.2 and a temperature 30$\circ$C) for 5 days, a cell mass produced 1.18 g/l. The results showed the increase of cell mass up to 300% compared to 0.28 g/l produced in CMC medium.

Two ${\beta}$-1,4-glucanases (DI and DIII fractions) were purified to homogeneity from the culture filtrate of a cellulolytic bacteria, Cellulomonas sp. CS 1-1, which was classified as a novel species belonging to Cellulomonas uda based on chemotaxanomic and phylogenetic analyses. The molecular mass was estimated as 50,000 Da and 52,000 Da for DI and DIII, respectively. Moreover, DIII was identified as a glycoprotein with a pI of 3.8, and DI was identified as a non-glycoprotein with a pI of 5.3. When comparing the ratio of the CMC-saccharifying activity and CMC-liquefying activity, DI exhibited a steep slope, characteristic of an endoglucanase, whereas DIII exhibited a low slope, characteristic of an exoglucanase. The substrate specificity of the purified enzymes revealed that DI efficiently hydrolyzed CMC as well as xylan, whereas DIII exhibited a high activity on microcrystalline celluloses, such as Sigmacells. A comparison of the hydrolysis patterns for pNP-glucosides (DP 2-5) using an HPLC analysis demonstrated that the halosidic bond 3 from the nonreducing end was the preferential cleavage site for DI, whereas bond 2, from which the cellobiose unit is split off, was the preferential cleavage site for DIII. The partial N-terminal amino acid sequences for the purified enzymes were $^1Ala-Gly-Ser-Thr-Leu-Gln-Ala-Ala-Ala-Ser-Glu-Ser-Gly-Arg-Tyr^{15}$-for DI and $^1Ala-Asp-Ser-Asp-Phe-Asn-Leu-Tyr-Val-Ala-Glu-Asn-Ala-Met-Lys^{15}$-for DIII. The apparent sequences exhibited high sequence similarities with other bacterial ${\beta}$-1,4-glucanases as well as ${\beta}$-1,4-xylanases.

Celluloytic bacteria, -Gram positive, Gram negative and actionmycetes-were used to study their catabolic pathways of carbohydrate. It was found that Embden-Meyerhof-Parnas(EMP) pathway and hexose monophosphate(MHP) shunt were operated in Cellulomonase sp. CS1-1, C. flavigena, and Pseudomonas fluorescens subsp. cellulosa when they were cultured in a glucose containing medium, whilst gluconate was catabolised mainly via Entner-Doudoroff(ED) pathway, and to some extend through HMP shunt. Enzymes of ED pathway in the orgamisms were induced by gluconate. On the other hand Nocardia cellulans catabolised glucose and gluconate via EMP pathway and HMP shunt. The growth rate of N. Cellulans on gluconate were much slower than that on glucose.

Thymidylate synthase activity from extracts of various methotrexate-resistant strains was measured by spectrophotometric assay. Methotrexate-resistant strains of Lactobacillus, Pseudomonas sp., Micrococcus sp. HS-1, Klebsillela pneumonae, Cellulomonas fimi and Serratia marcescens elevated thymidylate synthase levels, especially, Pseudomonas sp. KL-9 resistant to $10^{-9}M$ methotrexate have a 156-fold increase in thymidylate synthase, which suggests that Pseudomonas sp. is a convenient source of thymidylate synthase. Several methotrexate strains of yeast were tested, however, their enzyme activity was generally lower than that of bacteria tested.

An ascorbic acid phosphorylating enzyme, which catalyzes the formation of ascorbic acid-2-phosphate from ascorbic acid and pyrophosphate, was purified 32.7-folds to homogeneity from a cell-free extract of Cellulomonas sp. AP-7. The combination of DEAE- Sephacel ion exchange chromatography and Sephacryl S-200 get filtration was used for their purification. The molecular weight of the native protein was estimated to be 96.lkDa on high performance gel filtration chromatography. The SDS-PAGE analysis indicated that the protein consisted of four identical subunits of 24.6 kDa. The purified enzyme showed the optimal tempeature of 40$\circ$C and optimal pH of 4.5. The Km for ascorbic acid and pyrophosphate were 119 mM and 11.9 mM, respectively. The addition of 5,5'-dithiobis-(2-nitrobenzoic acid) into the reaction mixture resulted in the reduction of the enzyme activity at 51%. The enzyme also had a phosphatase activity at weakly acidic pH and the Km for ascorbic acid-2-phosphate in phosphatase activity was 7.9 mM.
