${\alpha}$-Neoagarooligosaccharide (${\alpha}$-NAOS) hydrolase was purified from Cellvibrio sp. OA-2007 by using chromatographic techniques after hydroxyapatite adsorption. The molecular masses of ${\alpha}$-NAOS hydrolase estimated using SDS-PAGE and gel filtration chromatography were 40 and 93 kDa, respectively, and the optimal temperature and pH for the enzyme activity were $32^{\circ}C$ and 7.0-7.2. ${\alpha}$-NAOS hydrolase lost 43% of its original activity when incubated at $35^{\circ}C$ for 30 min. The enzyme hydrolyzed neoagarobiose, neoagarotetraose, and neoagarohexaose to galactose, agarotriose, and agaropentaose, respectively, and produced 3,6-anhydro-L-galactose concomitantly; however, it did not degrade agarose.

A novel agarolytic bacterium, KY-YJ-3, producing extracellular agarase, was isolated from the freshwater sediment of the Sincheon River in Daegu, Korea. On the basis of Gram-staining data, morphology, and phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rDNA sequence, the isolate was identified as Cellvibrio sp. By ammonium sulfate precipitation followed by Toyopearl QAE-550C, Toyopearl HW-55F, and MonoQ column chromatographies, the extracellular agarase in the culture fluid could be purified 120.2-fold with a yield of 8.1%. The specific activity of the purified agarase was 84.2 U/mg. The molecular mass of the purified agarase was 70 kDa as determined by dodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). The optimal temperature and pH of the purified agarase were $35^{\circ}C$ and pH 7.0, respectively. The purified agarase failed to hydrolyze the other polysaccharide substrates, including carboxymethyl-cellulose, dextran, soluble starch, pectin, and polygalacturonic acid. Kinetic analysis of the agarose hydrolysis catalyzed by the purified agarase using thin-layer chromatography showed that the main products were neoagarobiose, neoagarotetraose, and neoagarohexaose. These results demonstrated that the newly isolated freshwater agarolytic bacterium KY-YJ-3 was a Cellvibrio sp., and could produce an extracellular ${\beta}$-agarase, which hydrolyzed agarose to yield neoagarobiose, neoagarotetraose, and neoagarohexaose as the main products.

최근, 본 연구진은 담수 환경 유래 한천 분해 세균인 Cellvibrio sp KY-GH-1 (KCTC13629BP)의 전체 유전체 염기 서열을 분석하여 아가로오스를 L-AHG 및 D-갈락토오스로 가수분해시키는 아가레이즈들을 암호화하는 유전 정보를 탐색하였다. 그 결과, KY-GH-1 균주는 유전체 상의 약 77 kb 길이의 아가레이즈 유전자 클러스터 내에 9개의 β-아가레이즈 유전자들과 2개의 α-네오아가로비오스 가수분해효소(α-NABH) 유전자들을 지닌 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 유전자 정보를 바탕으로 KY-GH-1 균주가 한천을 탄소원으로 자화하기 위해 단량체인 L-AHG와 D-갈락토오스로 분해시키는 공정은, 엔도형 GH16 β-아가레이즈, 엔도형 GH86 β-아가레이즈 등에 의해 개시되어 NA4, NA6, NA8 등을 생성시킨 후, 이들에 대해 엑소형 GH50 β-아가레이즈가 추가로 작용하여 NA2를 생성시키고, 이어서 GH117 α-NABH가 작용하여 생성된 NA2를 단량체 L-AHG와 D-갈락토오스로 분해함으로써 종결되는 것으로 예측되었다. 대장균 발현 시스템과 PET-30a 벡터를 함께 사용하여, KY-GH-1 균주 유래의 GH50 패밀리 β-아가레이즈 유전자들(GH50A, GH50B, GH50C)과 GH117 패밀리 α-NABH 유전자들(GH117A α-NABH, GH117B α- NABH)을 발현시켜 His-태그 재조합 효소단백질들로 확보하여, 이들 효소단백질을 이용하여 효소 활성을 비교 분석한 결과, 재조합 GH50A β-아가레이즈가 세 개의 GH50A 패밀리 β-아가레이즈 동위효소들 중에서 가장 높은 엑소형 β-아가레이즈 활성을 나타내며, 또한 재조합 GH117A α-NABH가 NA2를 L-AHG와 D-갈락토오스로 강력하게 가수분해할 수 있으나 재조합 GH117B α-NABH는 NA2 가수분해 활성이 없음을 확인하였다. 연이어 GH50A β-아가레이즈 및 GH117A α-NABH의 효소 특성을 추가로 조사하였다. 아울러 이들 각 효소가 나타내는, 아가로오스를 분해하여 NA2를 생성시키는 효율성과 NA2를 분해하여 L-AHG 및 D-갈락토오스를 생성시키는 효율성을 평가하였다. 본 총설에서는, L-AHG 및 D-갈락토오스의 양산을 위한 아가로오스의 효소적 가수분해에 성공적으로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대되는, 담수 유래 한천 분해 세균 Cellvibrio sp. KY-GH-1 유래의 재조합 GH50A β-아가레이즈 및 GH117A α-NABH의 장점들에 대해 기술한다.

한천분해세균 SC-22균을 대전 대청댐부근의 담수에서 분리하였다. 생화학적 분석 및 16S rRNA 염기서열 분석을 통한 계통학적 분류를 통해 SC-22는 Cellvibrio mixtus로 동정되었다. 분리균의 생육 및 agarase 효소 생성능을 검토한 결과, SC-22는 탄소원으로 0.2% agar를 첨가한 배지에서 배양 36시간에 최대 생육을, 배양 48시간에 58.5 units/mL의 최대 효소활성을 나타내었다. 분리균은 세포외 및 세포내 agarase를 생성하였으며, zymogram 실험에 의해 P1, P2 및 P3의 isoenzyme을 분비하는 것으로 확인 되었다. 배양여액으로부터 겔여과법과 이온교환수지법을 단계적으로 이용하여 SC-22 균주로부터 SDS-PAGE에 의해 25 kDa의 효소를 정제하였으며, 정제효소는 zymogram에서 확인된 주 단백질인 P2(29 kDa)과 동일한 단백질임이 확인되었다. 또한 정제한 agarase의 효소학적 성질을 검토한 결과, 효소의 최적 pH와 최적온도는 pH 7.0과 $50^{\circ}C$이었으며, 금속이온 효과의 경우 1 mM 농도의 수준에서도 $Fe^{2+}$, $Na^+$, $Ca^{2+}$ 이온 등은 정제효소의 활성을 10-20% 증가시킨 반면 $Hg^{2+}$, $Mn^{2+}$ 및 $Cu^{2+}$ 이온들은 효소 활성을 크게 저해하였다. 또한 TLC 분석을 통해 정제효소는 한천 분해 올리고당으로 주로 단당류와 이당류를 생성하므로 $\beta$-agarase의 작용특성을 보였다. 기질특이성 실험에서는 정제효소는 agar와 agarose만을 이용 하였고 유사 해조 다당류인 alginate는 물론 다른 다당류를 분해하지 못하였다.

An obligately aerobic bacterium, strain KOPRI $20902^T$, was isolated from a marine sediment in Ny-${\AA}$lesund, Spitsbergen Islands, Norway. Cells were irregular rods and motile with polar monotrichous flagellum. The optimum growth temperature was $17-22^{\circ}C$. Cells grew best in pH 7.0-10.0 and 3-4% sea salts (corresponding to 2.3-3.1% NaCl). The novel strain required $Ca^{2+}$ or $Mg^{2+}$ in addition to NaCl for growth. Sequence analysis of 16S rRNA gene revealed that the Arctic isolate is distantly related with established species (<92.4% sequence similarity) and formed a monophyletic group with Cellvibrio, which formed a distinct phylogenetic lineage in the order Pseudomonadales. Predominant cellular fatty acids [$C_{16:1}\;{\omega}7c/15:0$ iso 2OH (45.3%), $C_{16:0}$ (18.4%), ECL 11.799 (11.2%), $C_{10:0}$ 3OH (10.4%)]; DNA G+C content (37.0 mol%); nitrate reduction to nitrogen; absence of aesculin hydrolysis, N-acetyl-${\beta}$-glucosaminidase and esterase; no assimilation of arabinose, galactose, glucose, lactose, maltose, and trehalose differentiated the strain from the genus Cellvibrio. Based on the phylogenetic and phenotypic characteristics, Dasania marina gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed in the order Pseudomonadales. Strain KOPRI $20902^T$ (=KCTC $12566^T$=JCM $13441^T$) is the type strain of Dasania marina.

Agarase genes of non-marine agarolytic bacterium Cellvibrio sp. were cloned into Escherichia coli and one of the genes obtained using HindIII was sequenced. From nucleotide and putative amino acid sequences (713 aa, molecular mass; 78,771 Da) of the gene, designated as agarase AgaA, the gene was found to have closest homology to the Saccharophagus degradans (formerly, Microbulbifer degradans) 2-40 aga86 gene, belonging to glycoside hydrolase family 86 (GH86). The putative protein appears to be a non-secreted protein because of the absence of a signal sequence. The recombinant protein was purified with anion exchange and gel filtration columns after ammonium sulfate precipitation and the molecular mass (79 kDa) determined by SDS-PAGE and subsequent enzymography agreed with the estimated value, suggesting that the enzyme is monomeric. The optimal pH and temperature for enzymatic hydrolysis of agarose were 6.5 and $42.5^{\circ}C$, and the enzyme was stable under $40^{\circ}C$. LC-MS and NMR analyses revealed production of a neoagarobiose and a neoagarotetraose with a small amount of a neoagarohexaose during hydrolysis of agarose, indicating that the enzyme is a ${\beta}$-agarase.

$\beta$-Glucosidaes from Cellvibrio gilvus(CG) was successfully overproduced in soluble form in E. coli with the coexpression of GroEL/ES/. Without the GroEL/ES protein, the $\beta$-glucosidase overexpressed in E. coli constituted a huge amount(80%) of total cellular protein, but was localized in the insoluble fraction, and little activity was detected in the soluble fraction. Coexpression of the E. coli GroEL/ES had a drastic impact on the proper folding of the $\beta$-glucosidase; 20% of the overexpressed enzyme was recovered in the soluble fraction in active form. Similar effects of GroEL/ES were also observed on the overexpressed $\beta$-glucosidase from Agrobacterium tumefaciens(AT). And pET28(a)-RGRAR, partially deleted mutant lacking 5-amino acid residues at carboxy teminus also could be folded into an active form when expressed with the molecular chaperonin GroEL/ES, and its activity was higher than that of the without GroEL/ES system, In addition, the synergistic effect of GroEL/ES and the low induction temperature were important factors for solubilization of the inclusion body from overproduced $\beta$-glucosidases.

Two intracellular enzymes, cellobiose phosphorylase (CBP) and cellodextrin phosphorylase (CDP) are involved in the phosphorolytic pathway in cellulose degradation. Those enzymes are considered to be useful in syntheses of oligosaccharides because the reactions are reversible. CBP from Cellvibrio gilvus and CDP from Clostridium thermocellum YM-4 were cloned and over-expressed in Escharichia coli. Both the enzyme reactions showed ordered bi bi mechanism. Acceptor specificity of CBP in the reverse reaction was determined. Several $\beta$-l,4-glucosyl disaccharides were synthesized by using the reaction. A new substrate inhibition pattern, competitive substrate inhibition, was also found in the reverse reaction of CBP Cellobiose was produced from sucrose at a high yield by a combined action of three enzymes including CBP

As a part of the research program 'Survey of freshwater organisms and specimen collection', freshwater samples were collected from Lakes Soyang and Chungju in 2016. Hundreds of bacterial strains were isolated from the samples and were identified based on 16S rRNA gene sequences. Among the bacterial isolates, strains showing higher than 98.7% sequence similarity with validly published bacterial species not reported in Korea were selected as unrecorded bacterial species. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, 17 strains were identified as unrecorded bacterial species in Korea. The 17 bacterial strains were phylogenetically diverse and belonged to four phyla, seven classes, 13 orders, 14 families, and 16 genera. At generic level, the unreported species were affiliated with Caulobacter, Paracoccus, and Mesorhizobium of the class Alphaproteobacteria, Deefgea, Undibacterium, Chitinimonas, Inhella, and Sphaerotilus of the class Betaproteobacteria, Vibrio and Cellvibrio of the class Gammaproteobacteria, Sanguibacter and Clavibacter of the phylum Actinobacteria, Lactococcus of the phylum Firmicutes, Deinococcus of the class Deinococci, and Chryseobacterium and Flavobacterium of the phylum Bacteroidetes. The unreported species were further characterized by examining Gram reaction, colony and cell morphology, biochemical properties, and phylogenetic position. The detailed description of the 17 unreported species are also provided.

As a part of the research project "Survey of freshwater organisms and specimen collection," freshwater samples were collected from the Nakdong River. Among the bacterial isolates, we selected strains that showed higher than 98.7% 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with confirmed bacterial species previously unreported in South Korea. The 14 new records to South Korea were phylogenetically diverse and belonged to four phyla, six classes, 11 orders, and 14 genera. At the genus level, these species were found to be affiliated with Reyranella, Ferrovibrio, Brevundimonas, and Aquidulcibacter of the class Alphaproteobacteria; Pseudomonas, Cellvibrio, and Photobacterium of the class Gammaproteobacteria; Paenibacillus and Bacillus of the phylum Firmicutes; Chryseobacterium, Flavobacterium, Pedobacter of the phylum Bacteroidetes; and Actinomadura and Leifsonia of the phylum Actinobacteria. These species were further characterized by examining their Gram reaction, colony and cell morphologies, biochemical properties, and phylogenetic positions. The detailed descriptions of these 14 previously unreported species are provided.
