A high-throughput screening strategy was developed to simplify the selection process for improved mannitol producing strain after chemical mutagenesis. Ethylmethyl sulfonate (EMS) was used as a chemical mutagen to alter the fructokinase-I gene which is an essential enzyme to metabolize fructose for growth. Leuconostoc mesenteroides treated with EMS were plated on the modified MRS solid medium containing fructose as a sole carbon source. Strains showing inhibited growth were primarily selected to evaluate the mannitol producing ability. By applying this strategy, L. mesenteroides ATCC 8293 M1, L. mesenteroides ATCC 9135 M3 and L. mesenteroides D1 M3 showed improvement in mannitol production.

Chiral oxazolidin-2-one is easily prepared from D-mannitol and demonstrated to undergo highly diastereoselective alkylation reactions via lithium imide Z-enolates of its N-acyl derivatives to afford ${\alpha}-branched$ products. Evans syn and non-Evans sy n aldol products were also selectively obtained using this new auxiliary in high diastereomeric purity by simply changing the stoichiometry of TiCl4 and the nature of the amine base. Also, this new auxiliary is employed in diastereoselective Staudinger-type ${\beta}-lactam$ syntheses. Using 2-chloro-1-methylpyridinium iodide as the dehydrating agent, the reaction of auxiliary tethered acetic acid with trans imines gave the desired ${\beta}-lactams$ with cis-selectivity.

4-(tert-Octyl)phenol derivatives bearing the D-mannitol substructure (6a, 6b, 7) were prepared from $\small{D}$-mannitol and evaluated their anticancer activity against human lung (A549) and prostate (Lncap, Du145, PC3) cancer cell lines. Among derivatives tested, the bis(tert-octyl)phenoxy compound 7 exhibited strongest proliferation inhibitory activities against human cancer cell lines tested, especially high sensitivity to human Du145 prostate cancer cells ($IC_{50}=7.3{\mu}M$).

From the roots of Pandia siamensis, D-mannitol, a mixture of .betha.-sitosterol and campesterol, oleanolic acid acetate, oleanolic acid-3-.alpha.-L-arabino side and mesembryanthemoidigenic acid as a sapogenin were isolated and characterized.

LPC analogues including natural and unnatural LPC, 3-L-2-PC, acetylated LPC and ethylene glycol derivative are prepared from D-mannitol using in convenient procedures by only changing the synthetic sequences, and their protective activities against cecal ligation and puncture (CLP)-induced severe sepsis are compared. The chirality at C2 position in LPC is found to be required as (S)-configuration for sepsis inhibition, comparing from the protection activity between LPC 6 and unnatural LPC 8. The hydroxyl functionality is also very important and required at C2 or C3 position as shown in the protection activities of ethylene glycol analogue 11 and 3-L-2-PC 9.

Productivity of a rice plant is greatly influenced by salt stress. One of the ways to achieve tolerance to salinity is to transfer genes encoding protective enzymes from other organisms, such as microorganisms. The bacterial gene, mtlD, which encodes mannitol-1-phosphate dehydrogenase (Mtl-DH), was introduced to the cytosol of a rice plant by an imbibition technique to overproduce mannitol. The germination and survival rate of the imbibed rice seeds were markedly increased by transferring the mtlD gene when it was delivered in either a pBIN19 or pBmin binary vector. When a polymerase chain reaction was performed with the genomic DNAs of the imbibed rice leaves as a template and with mtlD-specific primers, several lines were shown to contain an exogenous mtlD DNA. However, a reverse transcription (RT)-PCR analysis revealed that not all of them showed an expression of this foreign gene. This paper demonstrates that the growth and germination of rice plants transiently transformed with the bacterial gene, mtlD, are enhanced and these enhancements may have resulted from the experssion of the mtlD gene. The imbibition method empolyed in this study fulfills the requirements for testing the function of such a putative gene in vivo prior to the production of a stable transgenic plant.

G. melanogenus로부터 분리한 폴리올 탈수소 효소는 이미 알려진 바의 다른 폴리올 탈수소 효소와는 달리 조효소로서 2,6-dichlorophenolindophenol (DPIP)와 같은 인위적 전자 수용체를 필수로 요구하고 있음으로 이 특수 효소의 반응메카니즘을 반응속도론적 연구를 통하여 규명코저 시도하였으며, 폴리올 산화반응에 대한 초기속도 측정실험과 효소반응 산물인 케토산에 의한 저해 실험을 통하여 이 반응은 Ping-Pong Bi-Bi형의 반응메카니즘으로 진행됨을 확인하였다. 따라서 두 기질 즉 포리올로서 D-mannitol 및 전자수용체로 DPIP가 효소에 의하여 반응이 진행될 경우 D-mannitol이 우선 효소와 작용하며 첫 반응산물로서 해당하는 케토산인 D-fructose가 생성될 것으로 기대되며 이 반응이 전체 반응속도를 조절하는 과정일 것이라고 추측하였다.
