The cyclic undecapeptide, cyclosporin A (CyA), is one of the most commonly prescribed immunosuppressive drugs. It is generated nonribosomally from a multifunctional cyclosporin synthetase enzyme complex by the filamentous fungus Tolypocladium niveum. In order to maximize the production of CyA by wild-type T. niveum (ATCC 34921), each of three culture stages (sporulation culture, growth culture, and production culture) were sequentially optimized. Among the three potential sporulation media, the SSMA medium generated the highest numbers of T. niveum spores. The SSM and SM media were then selected as the optimal growth and production culture media, respectively. The addition of valine and fructose to the SM production medium was also determined to be crucial for CyA biosynthesis. In this optimized three-stage culture system, 3% of the spore inoculum generated the highest level of CyA productivity in a 15-day T. niveum production culture, thereby implying that the determination of an appropriate size of T. niveum spore inoculum plays a critical role in the maximization of CyA production.

A map gene encoding methionyl-specific aminopeptidase (MAP; EC 3.4.11.18) was cloned from Tetragenococcus halophilus CY54. Translated amino acid sequence of CY54 MAP showed high similarities with those from Enterococcus faecalis (83.8%) and Streptococcus salivarius (62.2%) but low similarities with MAPs from Lactobacillus and Lactococcus genera. The map gene was overexpressed in E. coli BL21(DE3) using pET26b(+),pET26b(+), and the recombinant MAP was purified by using an Ni-NTA column. The size of recombinant MAP was 29 kDa as determined by SDS-PAGE. The optimum pH and temperature of CY54 MAP were pH 5.0 and 60℃, respectively. The activity of CY54 MAP was most significantly increased by Co²⁺ ion (159%), and showed the highest activity at 12% NaCl. K_m and V_max were 0.64 ± 0.006 mM and 10.12 ± 0.014 U/mg protein, respectively when met-pNA was used as the substrate. This is the first report on a MAP from Tetragenococcus species.

The chemotherapy sensitive Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) and chemotherapy resistant Lewis lung carcinoma (CR-LLC) tumors concurrently implanted in mice, and compare these findings with histological macroscopic observations against 3D reconstruction of Fluorescence Molecular Tomography (FMT) preformed in vivo on the same animals. For the 3D image reconstruction we used 32 laser source images, a flat image and 3D surface rendering that confused for 3D Fluorescence Molecular Imaging (FMI). A minimum of ten tissue sections were analyzed per tumor for quantification of the TUNEL-positive cells, cell-associated Cy5.5-Annexin and vessel-associated Alexa Fluor-Lectin. These are useful apoptosis and angiogenesis markers, and they serve as validation experiments to data obtained in vivousing a Cy5.5-Annexin V conjugate injected intravenously in chemotherapy-treated animals carrying the tumors studied histologically. We detected higher levels of apoptosis and corresponding higher levels of Cy5.5 fluorescence in the LLC vs. the CR-LLC tumors according to tissue depth and these findings confirm that in vivo staining with the Cy5.5-Annexing conjugate correlates well with in vitro TUNEL staining and is consistent with the higher apoptotic index expected from the LLC line. There appeared to be 1.38% more apoptosis for LLC than CR-LLC. Consequently there is good correlation between the histology results and in vivo fluorescence-mediated optical imaging. In conclusion the apoptotic images of 3D FMI were validated by microscopic histological image analysis. This is a significant result for the continuous progress of fluorescence 3D imaging research.

A new bacteriocin produced by Bacillus licheniformis cy2 was partially purified and characterized. The bacteriocin named as BSCY2 was stable in the pH range of 2.5~9.5. BSCY2 was stable below 4$0^{\circ}C$ and it retained its antimicrobial activity during long tern storage at -2$0^{\circ}C$ and -7$0^{\circ}C$. BSCY2 was inactivated 15 min exposure to temperatures over 8$0^{\circ}C$ and lost 50% of its antimicrobial activity within 2 hr at 7$0^{\circ}C$. BSCY2 was inactivated by proteinase K treatment, which indicates its proteinous nature. Direct detection of the BSCY2 band showing antimicobial activity on Tricine-SDS-PAGE suggested an apparent molecular mass of about 6,500 dalton. These characterizatics of BSCY2 are considered as potential compounds for use in bioindustry.

The objectives of this study were: 1) to examine the contents of chemical composition (chlorogenic acids, caffeine, free acids, and free sugars) and 2) to evaluate the sensory attributes (sourness, bitterness, and sweetness) of brewed coffee as affected by two roasting conditions such as varied in the roasting time with the same roasting temperature (RT) and with same color and yield (CY). Quantitative analysis of chemical components was performed using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) system, and quantitative descriptive analysis (QDA) was conducted to analyze sensory attributes. Based on the results of chemical analysis, chlorogenic acids were significantly different (p<0.05) in the short term roasted samples (RT 240 and CY 240), but there was no significant difference in caffeine contents (p>0.05). Organic acid levels were different between RT and CY coffee samples. RT 240 coffee had the most level in organic acids and the longer the roasting time of coffee, the lesser the level of organic acids in coffee was found. However, there was no significant difference in CY coffee (p>0.05). The results of sensory evaluations show that the degree of roasting changed according to the roasting time despite of the roasting temperature. Long term (RT 80) coffee was relatively bitter while short term (RT 240) coffee was relatively sweeter. Also, there was no significant difference (p>0.05) in the sensory characteristics (bitterness and sweetness) of CY coffee although they were roasted at different temperatures. Therefore, the current study concluded that better understanding of proper roasting time and temperature improves the quality of brewed coffee.

Purpose: This study examined whether the quality of life of parents of children with cerebral palsy is affected by the functions, activities, participation, and environmental factors using an ICF-CY check list. Methods: This study recruited in 26 parents of children with cerebral palsy. The functions, activities, participation, and environmental factors of the children were evaluated using ICF-CY checklist. To measure the quality of life of parents, this study used world health organization quality of life (WHOQOL-BREF), which was composed of a total of 26 questions. The GMFCS (gross motor function classification system) was used to assess the degree of disability in the children. Multiple regression analysis was performed to examine the effects of the ICF-CY checklist on the quality of life. Correlation analysis was performed to examine the correlation between GMFCS and WHOQOL. Results: The functions, activities, participation, and environmental factors were significantly different from WHOQOL-BREF. On the other hand, the contextual factor showed a significant difference in the neuromusculoskeletal and movement-related functions (b7), and service, systems, and policies (e5)(p<0.05). Conclusion: This study suggests that the functions and environmental factors affect the quality of life of parents of children with cerebral palsy. Therefore, these findings suggest that contextual factors, such as neuromusculoskeletal and movement-related functions (b7), and service, systems and policies (e5), which can be facilitators, should be considered for improving the quality of life of parents of children with cerebral palsy.
