본 연구는 Paracyclopina nana의 먹이생물로써의 우수성을 핵산과 소화효소 활성을 기준으로 넙치 Paralichthys olivaceus 자어를 대상으로 밝히기 위한 것이었다. 실험은 P. nana 단독구(C 실험구), Artemia nauplii 단독구(A 실험구) 그리고 혼합구(M 실험구)로 나누어서 실시하였다. 넙치 자어의 체장은 부화 28일째, P. nana 단독 공급구에서 높게 나타났다. 건조중량당 핵산 함량은 C, M 실험구에서 A 실험구보다 함량이 빠르게 증가하였으며, RNA/DNA ratio는 C 실험구가 M, A 실험구보다 감소 경향이 빨랐다. 이들 자어의 생존률은 실험구에 따른 차이는 없었지만, 비색소침착률은 C, M 실험구에서 낮게 나타났으며, 실험 종료 시 변태율은 C 실험구에서 가장 높게 나타났고, A 실험구에서 유의적으로 가장 낮게 나타났다. $\alpha$-amylase 활성은 모든 실험구에서 증가하는 활성의 경향을 보였다. TAP 활성은 A 실험구에서 26일째 이후 9 mU/larva의 활성으로 높게 나타났으나, 다른 실험구에서는 $5{\sim}6$ mU/larva로 증가하지 않았다. $TAP/{\alpha}-amylase$ 활성의 비에서 A 실험구는 실험기간 동안 유의적으로 변화가 없었으나, C, M 실험구는 유의적으로 낮아지는 경향을 보였다. 결과적으로 실험구들의 성장, 핵산 함량의 변태와 관련된 시기적 증감 현상, 그리고 C, M 실험구에서 지속적으로 낮아지는 $TAP/{\alpha}-amylase$ 활성비를 보았을 때, 넙치 자어의 가장 높은 성장률을 볼 수 있었던 요각류인 P. nana를 공급하는 것이 이 시기의 효과적인 사육 방법인 것으로 판단된다.

This study attempted to determine effects of recombinant porcine epidermal growth factor (pEGF) and glutamine (Gln) supplement on the growth performance and intestinal development of piglets weaned at 14 days of age. A total of ninety-six piglets were allotted to one of four dietary treatments which comprised inclusion of 1.0 mg pEGF supernatant/kg diet or 0.5% Gln both alone and in combination. Each treatment consisted of four replicates with six pigs per pen for a 28 days experimental period. Two pigs per replicate were sacrificed and gastrointestinal tract samples were collected on day 14. Data showed that dietary treatment failed to promote growth performance. On day 14, diets supplemented with pEGF elevated pancreatic chymotrypsin, jejunal alkaline phosphatase, sucrase, lactase and maltase activities (p<0.05), but failed to alter the small intestinal villus morphology, DNA, or protein content of gastrointestinal mucosa. Diets supplemented with Gln increased pancreatic chymotrypsin activity, tended to enhance the protein contents of gastric (p = 0.08) and jejunal mucosa (p = 0.09) but did not influence the serum IgA level or the enzyme activity in the gastrointestinal tract. On day 28, the diets supplemented with Gln increasedt (p<0.05) serum IgA and the proliferation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells by PHA stimulation. However, a combination of pEGF and Gln did not have a synergistic effect on these biomarkers in early-weaned piglets. The results demonstrate that diets supplemented with recombinant pEGF supernatant indeed improve intestinal digestive enzyme activity and diets supplemented with Gln increases the immune response in early-weaned piglets.

The rumen microbial ecosystem is coming to be recognized as a rich alternative source of genes for industrially useful enzymes. Recent advances in biotechnology are enabling development of novel strategies for effective delivery and enhancement of these gene products. One particularly promising avenue for industrial application of rumen enzymes is as feed supplements for nonruminant and ruminant animal diets. Increasing competition in the livestock industry has forced producers to cut costs by adopting new technologies aimed at increasing production efficiency. Cellulases, xylanases, ${\beta}$-glucanases, pectinases, and phytases have been shown to increase the efficiency of feedstuff utilization (e.g., degradation of cellulose, xylan and ${\beta}$-glucan) and to decrease pollutants (e.g., phytic acid). These enzymes enhance the availability of feed components to the animal and eliminate some of their naturally occurring antinutritional effects. In the past, the cost and inconvenience of enzyme production and delivery has hampered widespread application of this promising technology. Over the last decade, however, advances in recombinant DNA technology have significantly improved microbial production systems. Novel strategies for delivery and enhancement of genes and gene products from the rumen include expression of seed proteins, oleosin proteins in canola and transgenic animals secreting digestive enzymes from the pancreas. Thus, the biotechnological framework is in place to achieve substantial improvements in animal production through enzyme supplementation. On the other hand, the rumen ecosystem provides ongoing enrichment and natural selection of microbes adapted to specific conditions, and represents a virtually untapped resource of novel products such as enzymes, detoxificants and antibiotics.

방오도료로 많이 쓰이던 유기주석화합물은 일반생물에게 미치는 독성이 매우 강하고 또한 내분비계 장애물질임이 밝혀지면서 이를 대체할 화합물들이 개발되고 있다. 그 가운데 본 연구에서는 Sea-Nine 211(4,5-dichlore-2-n-octyl-3(2H) isothiazolone)을 사용하여 이 화합물이 해양생물 특히 저서생물인 패류에게 얼마나 영향을 미치는지를 살펴보았다. 이를 위해 강원도 북부 해역에 주로 서식하는 북방대합(Pseudocardium sachalinensis)에게 Sea-Nine 211을 강제적으로 주사하여 alkoxyresorufin 탈알킬화효소인 EROD와 MROD의 활성 변화를 4일째까지 조사하였고, 비교를 위해서 tributyltin chloride (TBTC)도 사용하였다. 그 결과, CYP1A1의 지표효소인 EROD활성은 Sea-Nine 211 및 TBTC주사구 모두 sham구와 차이가 없었지만, CYP1A2의 지표효소인 MROD활성은 Sea-Nine 211 주사구가 sham구에 비해 유의적으로 높았으므로 Sea-Nine 211에 의해 유도된 것이라 여겨진다. 이것은 북방대합에도 CYP1A2가 존재할 수 있음을 보여준다.

The paramyxean parasite Marteilioides chungmuensis infects the cytoplasm of the eggs of Pacific oysters Crassostrea gigas , resulting in spawning failure of the infected females. Such infected eggs appear as bump-like nodules on the body in late fall when most of the uninfected females complete spawning. In this study, we estimated the quantity of the infected eggs using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), which is destroyed by M. chungmuensis parasitism. In December, the infected oysters collected from Tongyoung on the south coast exhibited numerous yellowish bump-like nodules as signs of infection. In histology, the infected oysters exhibited mature eggs in the follicle, which were heavily infiltrated by hemocytes. ELISA indicated that the infected egg mass accounted for 7.52±5.50 percent of the body weight, suggesting the ovarian parasite causes substantial reproductive loss. Histology also indicated that the infected oysters are in a poor nutritional condition, as the digestive gland atrophy (DGA) level is comparatively higher than the uninfected oyster. The total carbohydrate contents in the infected oysters (108.68±44.41 mg/g dry wt) were significantly lower than in uninfected oysters (269.76±50.97 mg/g dry wt), suggesting that M. chungmuensis parasitism also affected the energy storage capacity of the host during the resting stage.

Peptides with bioactive effects are being researched for various purposes. However, there is a lack of overall research on pork-derived peptides. In this study, we reviewed the process of obtaining bioactive peptides, available analytical methods, and the study of bioactive peptides derived from pork. Pepsin and trypsin, two representative protein digestive enzymes in the body, are hydrolyzed by other cofactors to produce peptides. Bicinchoninic acid assay, sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, chromatography, and in vitro digestion simulation systems are utilized to analyze bioactive peptides for protein digestibility and molecular weight distribution. Pork-derived peptides mainly exhibit antioxidant and antihypertensive activities. The antioxidant activity of bioactive peptides increases the accessibility of amino acid residues by disrupting the three-dimensional structure of proteins, affecting free radical scavenging, reactive oxygen species inactivation, and metal ion chelating. In addition, the antihypertensive activity decreases angiotensin II production by inhibiting angiotensin converting enzyme and suppresses blood pressure by blocking the AT1 receptor. Pork-derived bioactive peptides, primarily obtained using papain and pepsin, exhibit significant antioxidant and antihypertensive activities, with most having low molecular weights below 1 kDa. This study may aid in the future development of bioactive peptides and serve as a valuable reference for pork-derived peptides.

Antheraea mylitta Drury is basically a crossbreeding species, as such it seems to be potentially a good material for the exploitation of heterosis. In the present study F1 hybrid of wild ecorace Laria (L) and semi-domestic Daba (D) was raised and evaluated for various quantitative traits and biochemical parameters during larval stage. Improved fecundity ($+18{\pm}1.8%$ and higher egg hatching rate ($+10.96{\pm}1.3%$) was recorded in the F1hybrid ($L{\times}D$). Biochemical parameters studied in the hemolymph, midgut and fatbody of the larva showed significantly higher (P<0.05) total proteins and carbohydrate concentration besides digestive enzyme activity. Correspondingly SDS-PAGE revealed more number of protein bands in the hemolymph sample of F1s, ranging between 29 kDa to 66 kDa compared to parental lines. The present study demonstrates the positive heterosis effect in the F1 hybrid of Laria ${\times}$ Daba. Biochemical analysis indicates that, there is possibilities of exploitation of hybrids with specific parents targeted for desirable commercial traits (silk yield and fecundity). Moreover, most of these biochemical parameters can be used as markers to analyze the genetic improvement in the tasar silkworms.
