Optimized conditions for protoplast preparation and regeneration from young hyphae of Monascus ruber were established. Heat shock treatment of spores gave rapid and synchronized germination. Spores collected from cultures grown for 7-8 days at $30^{\circ}C$ were germinated until over 70% germ tubes reached to 3-5 spore length. Enzymatic digestion of young hyphae was optimal with 50 mg/mL Glucanex in 0.1 M sodium citrate buffer containing 0.8 M mannitol as an osmotic stabilizer. Regeneration rate was around 10% when 0.8 M sorbitol was used as an osmotic stabilizer in regeneration medium. These conditions will be applied in genetic study of M. ruber that produces citrinin at high level and thus is good model strain for molecular genetic dissection of citrinin biosynthesis.

20여종의 Monascus속의 균주로 부터 mevinolin의 생산능이 우수하면서도 곰팡이 독소성분 citrinin을 생산하지 않는 우량균주를 선발하였으며, 콩시료에 대한 고상발효를 최적화하기 위한 영양배지의 조성물이 검토되었다. 선발된 M. pilosus IFO 480으로 발효시킨 홍국콩 발효물에 함유된 mevinolin의 주요 화합물은, 약리학적 활성형(drug)의 mevinolinic acid 밝혀졌다(91.8%). 따라서 홍국 발효콩은 생체활성형의 항 콜레스테롤 성분을 최대 0.22% 까지 함유하는, 안전한 건강 기능성식품 소재로서의 활용가능성이 높은 것으로 평가할 수 있다.

Monacolin K (MK) was produced on soybean using Monascus ruber GM011 by a two-stage-fermentation process. The optimal temperature was identified as $28^{\circ}C$. Higher yield was obtained by multiple-level-temperature cultivation than by single-level-temperature cultivation. The highest yield of total MK, 4.810 mg/g dry soybean product, was attained after 30 days of solid-state fermentation. No citrinin could be detected in the fermented soybean.

Mevinolin, a fungal metabolite, is a potent inhibitor of 3-hydroxy-methyl-3-glutaryl-coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase, the rate-controlling enzyme in cholesterol biosynthesis. In this investigation, the optimum factors for mevinolin production by Monascus pilosus IFO 480 in soymeal fermentation were studied. The highest yield of mevinolin, 2.82 mg mevinolin per g dry weight, without citrinin (a toxic fungal secondary metabolite) was obtained after 21 days of fermentation at $30^{\circ}C$ at 65% moisture content, particle size 0.6-0.9 mm, and initial substrate pH of 6.0. Mevinolin was present in the fermentation substrate predominantly in the hydroxycarboxylate form (open lactone, 92.1-97.3%), which is currently being used as a hypocholesterolemic agent.

To reproduce the brewing process of Hongkuk-ju and to identify the functional properties of it, Hongkuk-ju was brewed using different additions of Hongkuk (100%, 90%, 70%, 50%) and Nuruk (0%, 10%, 30%, 50%). The quality elements, including pH, total acidity, reducing sugar content, alcohol content and pigments (yellow, red, monacolin K and citrinin), were measured. The pH values of Hongkuk-ju showed a slight difference (pH 4.08~4.58) right after the $1^{st}$ stage mash; further, the pH on all groups (H1, H2, H3 and H4) in the terminal of the $2^{nd}$ stage mash (9 days in fermentation) were similar, ranging approximately at pH 3.70. The total acidity change did not show a difference directly the $1^{st}$ stage mash (nearby 0.2 %); however, it began to show a slight difference at the terminal of the $2^{nd}$ stage mash between the range of 0.69~0.76%. The residual reducing sugar of the content was decreased with the increased Nuruk content. The alcohol concentrations of the treatment brew with Nuruk ranging from 12.3% to 13.7% were higher than Hongkuk on its own. The yellow and red pigment contents of Hongkuk-ju ranged from 7.2~8.8 O.D. units (yellow pigment) and from 4.4~5.1 O.D. units (red pigment). The production of monacolin K and citrinin was the highest (9.48 mg/kg and 10.14 mg/kg) when the treatment solely brewed Hongkuk. The concentration of Nuruk and the preparation of the seed mash from it were critical factors compared to the treatment of rice in brewing Hongkuk-ju.

발아 온도와 기간에 따른 발아현미 홍국배양물의 홍국색소, monacolin K, citrinin 및 페놀 화합물 생성량과 항산화 활성 변화를 조사하였다. 발아 기간이 증가함에 따라 명도는 증가하였으나 적색도와 황색도는 감소하였고, 적색($A_{500}$), 오렌지색($A_{470}$) 및 황색($A_{400}$) 색소 생성량도 동일한 경향이었다. 총 monacolin K는 현미(215.85 mg/kg)가 백미(40.41 mg/kg)보다 높았으며, $32^{\circ}C$에서 1일간 발아시킨 발아현미 (1,263.04 mg/kg)에서 가장 높은 함량을 보였으나 발아 기간이 증가함에 따라 감소하였다. 곰팡이 독소인 citrinin은 모든 처리구에서 검출되지 않았다. 총 폴리페놀과 플라보노이드 함량은 발아 온도와 기간이 증가함에 따라 유의적으로 증가하여 $37^{\circ}C$에서 4일간 발아시킨 발아현미에서 13.80 mg/g과 1.30 mg/g으로 가장 높았다. 전자공여능과 총 항산 화력은 발아에 의해 증가되어 $32^{\circ}C$에서 1일간 발아시킨 발아 현미에서 각각 22.16 mg TE/g과 62.27 mg AAE/g으로 가장 높았으나 발아 기간이 증가함에 따라 감소하였다. 이상의 결과로부터 홍국색소와 monacolin K 생성량을 증가시키기 위한 기질로 발아현미가 유용하며, 배양에 사용된 Monascus pilosus 305-9는 citrinin을 생성하지 않고 monacolin K 생성량을 증가시켜 식품의 기능성 증진용 소재 및 균주로서의 활용이 기대된다.

Citrinin (CIT) is a toxic secondary metabolite produced by fungi belonging to the Penicillium, Aspergillus, and Monascus spp. This toxin has been detected in many agricultural products. In this study, a strain Y3 with the ability to eliminate CIT was screened and identified as Cryptococcus podzolicus, based on the sequence analysis of the internal transcribed spacer region. Neither uptake of CIT by cells nor adsorption by cell wall was involved in CIT elimination by Cryptococcus podzolicus Y3. The extracellular metabolites of Cryptococcus podzolicus Y3 stimulated by CIT or not showed no degradation for CIT. It indicated that CIT elimination was attributed to the degradation of intracellular enzyme(s). The degradation of CIT by C. podzolicus Y3 was dependent on the type of media, yeast concentration, temperature, pH, and initial concentration of CIT. Most of the CIT was degraded by C. podzolicus Y3 in NYDB medium at 42 h but not in PDB medium. The degradation rate of CIT was the highest (94%) when the concentration of C. podzolicus Y3 was $1{\times}10^8cells/ml$. The quantity of CIT degradation was highest at $28^{\circ}C$, and there was no degradation observed at 3$5^{\circ}C$. The study also showed that acidic condition (pH 4.0) was the most favorable for CIT degradation by C. podzolicus Y3. The degradation rate of CIT increased to 98% as the concentration of CIT was increased to $20{\mu}g/ml$. The toxicity of CIT degradation product(s) toward HEK293 was much lower than that of CIT.

A total of 26 and 55 isolates of fungi were isolated from corn and wheat samples collected from different markets in Korea, respectively. The number of Penicillium isolates from corn and wheat was 9 and 33, respectively. The Penicillium species isolated from corn were P. chrysogenum (3 isolates) and P. oxalicum (6 isolates), and from wheat were P. aurantiogriseum (16 isolates), P. citrinum (1 isolate), P. commun (4 isolates), P. griseofulvum (1 isolate), P. verrucosum (7 isolates), and P. viridicatum (4 isolates). Production of major mycotoxins in the yeast extract sucrose medium cultures of Penicillium isolates was analysed. Penicillium cultures were extracted with chloroform and purified by thin-layer chromatograhy (TLC), and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Among 9 isolates of Penicillium from corn, 2 isolates of P. chrysogenum produced patulin, 1 isolate of the fungus produced patulin and citrinin, 2 isolates of P. oxalicum produced penicillic acid, 4 isolates produced pencillic acid and griseofulvin. Of the 33 isolates of Penicillium from wheat, 6 isolates of P. aurantiogriseum produced patulin, 8 isolates produced penicillic acid, 1 isolate produced patulin and penicillic acid, 1 isolate of P. citrinum produced citrinin and patulin, 2 isolates of P. commun produced brefeldin A and patulin, 1 isolate of P. griseofulvum produced brefeldin A, griseofulvin and patulin. Five isolates of P. verrucosum produced patulin, 1 isolate of the fungus produced penicillic acid, and 3 isolates of P. viridicatium produced penicillic acid.

M. pilosus를 액침배양하여 얻은 균사체의 ethanol 추출물(MEM)과 그 배양여액(CFM)의 monacolin K 및 citrinin 함량과 항산화 및 항균활성을 조사하였다. MEM과 CFM 동결건조 분말의 수율은 4.02% 및 3.35% 이었다. 색소함량($OD_{500}$)은 MEM (0.79)이 CFM (0.63)보다 25%가 높았으나 시판홍국미 에탄올추출물(EERB) 0.87 보다는 낮았으며 L*값, a*값, b*값 및 hue angle의 결과와 일치하였다. Total monacolin K의 함량은 MEM (24.91 mg%)이 CFM (1.27mg%) 및 EERB (15.03 mg%)에 비하여 높았으나 활성형 monacolin K의 함량은 EERB (5.48 mg%), MEM (3.35 mg%), CFM (0.40 mg%)으로 EERB가 높았다. Citrinin은 모든 시료에서 검출되지 않았다. Total polyphenol 함량은 MEM (4.68%, w/w), CFM (4.29%, w/w), EERB (3.70%, w/w)로 MEM과 CFM에서 높았다. 그러나 total flavonoid 함량은 EERB(4.46%, w/w), MEM(0.64%, w/w), CFM (0.66%, w/w)으로 EERB에서 높았다. 총 항산화능은 CFM이 3.51%(w/w)로 MEM (2.74%, w/w) 및 EERB (1.69%, w/w)보다 높았다. 1%에서의 전자공여능은 MEM (72.25%), CFM (86.20%), BHT (72.25%), EERB (44.82%)로 MEM과 CFM이 BHT보다 높거나 유사하였으며, 환원력도 비슷한 결과를 나타내었다. SOD 유사활성은 MEM (39.85%) > BHT (37.68%) > EERB (26.70%) > CFM (21.35%)순이었으며 아질산염소거능은 CFM (79.42%) > EERB (74.37%) > MEM (62.78%) > BHT (48.46%) 이었다. TBARS(%)는 MEM이 BHT보다 다소 낮았으나 CFM과 EERB보다 높았다. B. brevis와E. coli에 대한 항균성은 CFM이 MEM보다 높았으며 B. subtilis, L. monocytogenes, S. aureus, S. epidermidis, S. enteritidis에 대한 항균성은 MEM이 CFM보다 높았으나 EERB 및 BHT 경우보다는 낮았다.
