Lincomycin, an inhibitor of plastid protein synthesis, was found to block the synthesis of apoprotein P700 with a molecular mass of 72 kDa and the assembly of the Chl a-protein of PS I. Synthesis of the polypeptides of 48, 43.5, and 32 kDa of the PS II complex is also suppressed. This process is accompanied by the disappearance of the PS Two reaction center Chl a at 683 nm, and of the PS One reaction center Chl a at 690, 696, and 705 nm on the fourth derivative of the absorption spectra at 77K. Lincomycin does not affect the synthesis of LHC subunits. It increases the content of the two main Chl forms of LHC at 648 nm (Chl b) and 676 nm (Chl a). The low-temperature fluorescence ratio F736/F685 is also increased. However, the effect of cycloheximide (an inhibitor of cytoplasmic protein synthesis) leads to the reduction of polypeptides of the light-harvesting Chl a/b-protein complex in the range of 29.5-22 kDa. Under these conditions, the relative amount of Chl b and the F736/ F685 fluorescence ratio decrease significantly. This is obviously the result of blocking the LHC I and LHC II synthesis. At the same time rifampicin and actinomycin D (inhibitors which block transcription in chloroplast and nuclear genome, respectively) inessentially affect the characteristics of these complexes.

This study examined the relationship between chlorophyll(Chl) and ascorbic acid(ASA) as an index of freshness for vegetables, when the general consumers purchase several kinds of vegetables at the market. The leaves and fruits of several types of vegetables were divided into top, middle, and basal sections. Chl was determined by a spectrophotometer, and ASA was analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography. For the vegetable sections, we found that Chl and ASA levels were highest in the top sections, followed by the middle, and were lowest in the basal portions. For the relationship between Chl and ASA in vegetables, there were seven classifications including high Chl(above 80mg/100g of fresh weight) and high ASA(above 80 mg/100 g of fresh weight) for mallow, and kail; the second group had high Chl and low ASA(below 80 mg), such as in spinach, burdock, and perilla leaves; the third group contained medium Chl($40{\sim}80mg$) and medium ASA($40{\sim}80mg$) levels, such as for gonddalbee, angelica, pumpkin leaf and coriander; the fourth group had medium Chl and low ASA levels, as in crown daisy and lettuce; the fifth group contained low Chl(below 40 mg) and high ASA, such as in hot peppers and parsley; the sixth group had low Chl and medium ASA levels, and included broccoli, pak choi, and sweet peppers; finally the seventh group contained low Chl and low ASA levels, as in dropwort, young radishes, shallots, cucumbers and swiss chard.

해수에 잠긴 인공기질 표변에서 노출시간에 따른 부착미세조류의 성장과정을 이해하고자 유리슬라이드에 부착한 미세조류의 수도 변화와 엽록소 농도 변화를, 그리고 커버글래스에 부착한 미세조류의 엽록소 농도 변화와 일차생산력 변화를 인천항내에서 1996년 5월과 6월 그리고 1997년 1~2 월에 걸쳐 조사하였다. 유리슬라이드 상의 부착미세조류 군집의 엽록소 농도와 부착규조류의 수도는 연구기간동안 각각 최대 62.5 mg chl a $m^{-2}$와 $144{\times}10^3$ cells $cm^{-2}$를 나타냈다. 엽록소 농도는 노출시간에 따라 증가하였으며, 부착규조류의 수도변화와 유의성 있는 상관관계를 나타냈다. ($r^2=0.79$, p<0.001). 커버글래스 상의 엽록소 농도는 5월, 6월에 노출기간동안 각각 최대 31.1 mg chl $a\;m^{-2}$과 65.4 mg chl $a\;m^{-2}$를 나타낸 뒤 감소하였다. 그러나 1~2 월에는 98.9 mg chl a $m^{-2}$까지 계속 증가하였다. 일차생산력은 5월과 6월 그리고 1~2 월에 각각 최대 63.1 mgC $m^{-2}\;h^{-1}$, 347.0 mgC $m^{-2}\;h^{-1}$ 그리고 78.3 mgC $m^{-2}\;h^{-1}$의 값을 보였다. 5월과 6월의 일차생산력은 엽록소 농도 변화와 같은 양상으로 노출시간에 따라 증가하다가 감소하였다. 그러나 1~2 월의 일차생산력은 노출 26 일 이후 감소하였고, 엽록소 농도는 계속 증가하였다. 증가하던 일차생산력이 현저히 감소한 두 가지 경우는 엽록소 농도와 광량당 $P^B$의 감소가 같이 나타난 경우(5월, 6월)와 광저해로 인한 광량당 $P^B$의 감소에 기인한 것으로 보이는 경우(1~2월)였다. 본 연구결과는 해수에 잠긴 인공기질표변에 부착한 미세조류의 엽록소 농도와 일차생산력 측정을 통해 생물막 형성과정 중에 나타나는 부착미세조류의 생물량과 생리적 상태의 변동을 신속하게 분석할 수 있음을 시사하였다.

The loss of green coloration via chlorophyll (Chl) degradation typically occurs during leaf senescence. To date, many Chl catabolic enzymes have been identified and shown to interact with light harvesting complex II to form a Chl degradation complex in senescing chloroplasts; this complex might metabolically channel phototoxic Chl catabolic intermediates to prevent oxidative damage to cells. The Chl catabolic enzyme 7-hydroxymethyl Chl a reductase (HCAR) converts 7-hydroxymethyl Chl a (7-HMC a) to Chl a. The rice (Oryza sativa) genome contains a single HCAR homolog (OsHCAR), but its exact role remains unknown. Here, we show that an oshcar knockout mutant exhibits persistent green leaves during both dark-induced and natural senescence, and accumulates 7-HMC a and pheophorbide a (Pheo a) in green leaf blades. Interestingly, both rice and Arabidopsis hcar mutants exhibit severe cell death at the vegetative stage; this cell death largely occurs in a light intensity-dependent manner. In addition, 7-HMC a treatment led to the generation of singlet oxygen ($^1O_2$) in Arabidopsis and rice protoplasts in the light. Under herbicide-induced oxidative stress conditions, leaf necrosis was more severe in hcar plants than in wild type, and HCAR-overexpressing plants were more tolerant to reactive oxygen species than wild type. Therefore, in addition to functioning in the conversion of 7-HMC a to Chl a in senescent leaves, HCAR may play a critical role in protecting plants from high light-induced damage by preventing the accumulation of 7-HMC a and Pheo a in developing and mature leaves at the vegetative stage.

To develop a chemopreventive strategy based on the different stages of premalignant lesions, we hypothesized that the inhibitory effect of chemopreventive agents is influenced by different promotion stages during carcinogenesis. DMBA-TPA-induced skin carcinogenesis was used with ICR mice and chlorophyllin (CHL) was applied as a chemopreventive agent. In vitro assay was performed with Salmonella typhi. TA100 to observe any anti-mutagenic activity of CHL against DMBA. Pre-initiation and pre-promotion effects of CHL were observed by CHL treatment before initiation and before promotion. To evaluate the inhibitory effect at different promotion stages, each group was divided into three subgroups after TPA promotion for 6, 18 and 24 weeks, respectively ; the first subgroup was immediately sacrificed after termination of TPA, the second subgroup was treated with CHL, and the third subgroup was sacrificed 8 weeks after termination of TPA without CHL treatment. The degrees of epithelial dysplasia, papilloma formation, and invasive carcinoma were observed histologically, and GST-Pi expression was observed immunohistochemically. ODC mRNA level was analyzed by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction. Results showed : CHL dose-dependently inhibited the mutation of Salmonella typhi. TA100; the incidence of epithelial dysplasia and papilloma formation was lower in pre-initiation and pre-promotion CHL-treated mice than DMBA-TPA-treated mice; no invasive carcinoma developed in pre-initiation CHL-treated groups, while 67% of DMBA-TPA treated mice had carcinomas; GST-Pi expression decreased when CHL was treated before initiation and before promotion; and when CHL was treated after termination of TPA application at 18 and 24- week-TPA promotion stages, respectively, the incidence of epithelial dysplasia and papilloma was markedly reduced compared to non-treated groups. When comparing the incidence of epithelial dysplasia and papilloma between the immediately-sacrificed subgroup and the non-treated group with a waiting period, we speculated that the 18-week-TPA promotion stage might belong to the promoter-independent progression stage. At the 18-week-TPA promotion stage, the level of ODC mRNA in the CHL-treated group was clearly reduced to the level of normal tissue. Taking these results together, CHL showed both anti-initiation and anti-promotion effects, while the inhibitory effect of CHL was prominent in the 18-week-TPA promotion stage. However, CHL seems to be incapable of completely blocking the progression in the 24-week-TPA promotion stage.

The deposition behavior and photoelectric response characteristics of chlorophyll a(Chl a) monolayers and multilayers were investigated under various film fabrication conditions. Chl a LB films were deposited onto quartz and pretreated ITO glass substrates under several fabrication conditions, including surface pressure and number of layers. The absorption spectra of Chl a in a solution state and solid-like state (LB films) were fairly consistent with each other, and two absorption peaks were found at 678 and 438nm, respectively. The prepared Chl a LB films were set into an electrochemistry cell equipped with a Pt plate as the counter electrode, and the photoelectric response characteristics were obtained and analyzed relative to the light illumination. By considering the resulting photocurrents, the optimal fabrication conditions for Chl a LB films were determined as 20mN/m of surface pressure and 20 layers. The action spectrum of the Chl a LB films was obtained in the visible region, and was found to be in good agreement with the absorption spectrum. The possible application of the proposed system as a constituent of an artificial color recognition device was suggested based on combining with the photoelectric conversion property of another light-sensitive biological pigment.

The present study assessed the efficient removal of nutrients and Chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) by using methyl esterified sericite (MES) and pine needle extracts (PNE), a low cost and abundant green hybrid material from nature. For this purpose, the optimal conditions were investigated, such as the pH, temperature, MES and PNE ratio, and MES-PNE dose. In addition, a Microcystis aeruginosa control using MES-PNE was also analyzed with various inhibition models. The removal of the nutrient and Chl-a onto MES-PNE was optimized for over 95% removal as follows: 2-2.5 for the MES-PNE ratio, 7-8 pH and a $22-25^{\circ}C$ temperature. In this respect, approximately 1.52-2.20 g/L of MES-PNE was required to remove each 1 g of dry weight/L of Chl-a. Total phosphorus (TP) has a greater influence on the increase in Chl-a than total nitrogen (TN) according to the correlation between TN, TP and Chl-a. Moreover, the Luong model was the best model for fitting the biodegradation kinetics data from Chl-a on MES-PNE from lake water. The novel hybrid material MES-PNE was very effective at removing TN, TP and Chl-a from the lake and can be applied in the field.

해수와 담수가 공존하는 시화호 상류 기수역에서 입자성유기물에 대한 조류의 영향을 평가하기 위하여, 2005년과 2006년 3월부터 11월까지 기수역내 7개 지점을 대상으로 입자성유기탄소 (particulate organic carbon; POC), 식물플랑크톤 색소(chlorophyll a; Chl-a), pheophytin a; Pheo-a)의 시공간적 변동과 상관관계를 분석하였다. 조사기간 동안 POC 농도는 $1.0{\sim}76.6mgL^{-1}$ (평균 $7.4mgL^{-1}$)의 범위로 봄에 높은 계절변화를 보였으며, 염분성층이 강하고 고탁도층이 형성되는 중류부에서 높은 값을 보였다. 살아있는 식물플랑크톤의 현존량의 지표로 이용되는 Chl-a 농도는 $1.3{\sim}942.9{\mu}gL^{-1}$ (평균 $71.0{\mu}gL^{-1}$) 범위로 매우 높은 값을 보였고, 4월에 중류부에 최고치를 보여 POC와 유사한 변동을 보였다. 한편 Pheo-a 농도는 $1.4{\sim}1,545.5{\mu}gL^{-1}$ (평균 $59.9{\mu}gL^{-1}$)의 범위로, total Chl-a의 평균 44.2%로 죽거나 활성을 잃은 식물플랑크톤의 양이 많은 것으로 나타났다. POC 농도는 식물플랑크톤 색소와 강한 양의 상관(Chl-a (r=0.93), total Chl-a (r=0.88), >Pheo-a (r=0.81))을 보였는데, 이는 시화호 기수역에서 식물플랑크톤이 POC의 중요한 기원임을 시사한다. 한편 식물플랑크톤 색소와 POC와의 회귀식으로부터 POC/Chl-a 비(82.9)보다 POC/total Chl-a 비(35.9)가 하구에서 조사된 POC/Chl-a 비(40~60)에 더 유사한 것으로 나타났다. 그러므로 시화호 기수역과 같이 Pheo-a 농도가 높은 수역에서는 조류기원성 POC를 산정하거나 또는 수체의 POC 농도에 대한 식물플랑크톤의 기여도를 평가할 때 Chl-a 농도와 함께 Pheo-a 농도도 함께 고려할 필요가 있다.
