In order to develop an effective extraction method of sea mustard, five different methods of boiling in 0.5% $Na_{2}EDTA(A)$, in 0.1 N HCI(B), in 0.5% $Na_{2}EDTA$ and 0.1 N HCI(C) and hydrolysis with two different polysaccharides-hydrolyzing enzymes of Celluclast(method D) and Ultrazyme(method E) prior to boiling in 0.5% $Na_{2}EDTA$ and 0.1 N HCI were studied. The highest yields of solids(63.14%) and protein(26.39%) from the extract were obtained by method D. The concentration of amino-N was significantly improved by method C(870 ppm) followed by method D(770 ppm), B(570 ppm) and A(480 ppm) compared to the control(270 ppm). Total free amino acids, mainly alanine, glutamic, and aspartic acids, were greatly increased by methods of A(8.88 mg%), D(4.14 mg%) and E(4.18 mg%) which were $2.5{\sim}5.1$ times higher than those in control(1.71 mg%). The sensory characteristics showed that extract D was significantly low in intensity of fishy odor and high in seaweed taste. Therefore, method D was suggested as the effective extraction method.

The role of metal ions for the activity of the mitochondrial $F_1-ATPase$ was studied. Removal of non-heme iron ion from the mitochondria by dialysis against chelating agents, 10 mM ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid(EDTA) and 10 mM o-phenanthroline(o-Phe), led to 56% and 49% inactivation of the enzyme, respectively. The enzyme dialyzed against EDTA was reactivated 81% by the addition of 0.5 mM $Fe^{3+}$ and 70% by 0.5 mM $Mg^{2+}$. But, $Fe^{2+}$ did not reactivate the enzyme. Coexistence of 0.5 mM $Fe^{2+}$ and 0.5 mM $Mg^{2+}$ resulted in 95% reactivation of the enzyme, while $Fe^{3+}$ with 0.5 mM $Mg^{2+}$ did not reactivate the enzyme like the effect of $Fe^{2+}$ alone. The enzyme dialyzed against o-Phe showed the similar results. These data showed that $Fe^{3+}$ is predominantly required for the activity of the mitochondrial $F_1-ATPase$ in Lentinus edodes and stimulated the activity of it by $Mg^{2+}$. $Fe^{3+}$ and $Mg^{2+}$ increased enzyme's affinity for substrate, decreasing the Km value 1.67 mM to 0.65 mM.

The degradation systems of non degradable waste water consist of the arc plasma torch, power supply, a feeder of liquid waste and reactors. Output of stable plasma torch, suitable air flux, microscopic atomizing state of waste water and long reaction section must be to degrade waste water more efficiently. In this paper, we are designed the stable power system, the microscopic atomizing state of waste water and the efficient reactors to satisfy various conditions. Non degradable wast water used in this work was $Na_2$EDTA of 1.0 mol. The concentration of $CO_2$ and EDTA was analyzed using GC (Gas Chromatography) and HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatography). In the result show that $CO_2$ concentration was about 96% and EDTA was degraded approximately 96%.

When Saccharomyces cerevisiae MTY62, a high-RNA content yeast, was cultivated by fed-batch mode feeding molasses and com steep liquor, the cell density less than 45g-DCW/L and the RNA content less than 140mg/g-cell were obtained, indicating that unknown compounds inhibiting the cell growth and RNA accumulation are contained in the molasses. Therefore, in order to obtain higher levels of cell density and RNA content, $Ca^{++}$, $Cu^{++}$and $K^{+}$ ions in molasses were removed by pretreatments of molasses with various agents such as IonClear BigBead, $Na_2$$HPO_4$, $H_2$$SO_4$, citric acid, $K_2$$HPO_4$, and EDT A. Among them, IonClear BigBead, $Na_2$$HPO_4$, and EDTA gave the highest $Ca^{++}$ removal efficiency of about 60-90%. In the batch culture with pretreated molasses, the cell concentration of 18.6g-DCW/I and RNA concentration of 3127 mg/I, maximum specific growth rate of 0.459$h^{-1}$ , and specific consumption rate of reducing sugar of 1.28g-sugar/g-cell-h were obtained, which are about 10%, 17%,47%, and 36% higher levels, respectively, over the batch culture with untreated molasses.

When mammalian oocytes ovulate into the oviduct, associating follicular fluid components are exposed to the oviductal environment, possibly resulting in the mutual interaction between fillicu1ar and oviductal fluids. In the Present study, we have demonstrated for the first time that components of fallicular fluid could be modified by the oviductal fluid. Gelatin zymographic analyses of human follicular fluid (hFF) obtained from IVF patients showed consistently the presence of 110 kDa gelatinase (GA110) in addition to many bands among which 62 kDa gelatinase was predominant. Addition of EDTA or phenanfhroline to the gelatinase substrate buffer during gel incubation abolished GA110 band whereas phenylmethylsulffnyl fluoride (PMSF) did not. In contrast, bovine oviductal fluid(bOF) exhibited only 62 kDa gelatinase. Surprisingly, when bOF was added to hFF in 1:1 ratio and then the mixture was incubated for 3 h at 37$^{\circ}$C, GA110 of hFF disappeared. Disappearance of GA110 by bOF was observed even within 30 min after mixing with hFF. Addition of aminophenylmercuric acetate (APMA) to hFF also abolished enzymatic activity of GA110 but increased the activityof 62 kDa gelatinase. However, APMA abolished many other gelatinases as well unlike bOF. Interestingly, treatment of hFF with EDTA for 3 h remarkably increased the enzymatic activity of GA110 but not that of other gelatinases. Addition of phenanthroline, PMSF or soybean trypsin inhibitor (SBTI) did not affect overall gelatinase activities. Again, addition of bOF to the hFF pretreated with any of the above proteinase inhibitors abolished the appearance of GA110. Human serum also showed GAI 10 of which activity was greatlyenhanced by EDTA treatment. Similar to hFF, serum GA110 also disappeared by the addition of bOF. Human granulosa cell homogenate did not reveal any appreciable gelatinase activity except 92 kDa gelatinase. Anti-human gelatinase A antibody reacted with 62 kDa gelatinase of hFF. Based upon these results, it is concluded that bOF could selectively degrade an isoform of gelatinase A present in hFF and human serum.

This study was carried out to find a method to remove cadmium from soil and/or attenuate in Cd saturated Soil The chemical form of Cd was influenced by the physico-chemical properties of soil and the adsorption of Cd by soil conformed to the Langmuir isotherm. The order of Cd contents in chemical fractions extracted by several reagents was EDTA > NaOH > $HNO_3$. Flooding, liming and the addition of chelating agents and clay minerals to the contaminated soil seems to desirable in alleviating the harmful effects of Cd on plant growth by reducing Cd content in the $KNO_3$ fraction.

Development for extraction method of sea tangle was investigated with addition of sucrose, NaCl, EDTA-2Na, SHMP, and hydrolysis with commercial polysaccharide hydrolyzing enzymes. The total solids and protein yields were significantly increased by enzymatic hydrolysis or addition of NaCl and EDTA-2Na during boiling. The extract prepared by enzymatic hydrolysis followed by 2 hrs of boiling in 1.5% NaCl solution was significantly improved in solids and protein yield from 24.1% and 13.9% of 2 hrs of water boiling to 44.6% and 32.2%, respectively. The combined method increased the amino-nitrogen content but reduced the turbidity and viscosity. Extracts with a high intensity of total and seaweed-like taste as revealed by sensory evalution were obtained by combined method.

An experiment on movements of copper in soils was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of several soil extractants in predicting to be possibly the plant availability of copper in soils. Soil samples were taken six, from Las Virgines loam that the samples naturally included high contents of heavy metals near Los Angeles, Greenfield sandy loam and IDomino Loam that received 22.5, and $45.0mg.\;ha^{-1},\;yr^{-1}$ of composted sludge from Los Angeles from 1975 to 1983, respectively. Copper in soils were extracted with $4M\;HNO_3$, 0.1M HCl, 0.5M DTPA-0.1M TEA, 0.5M EDTA-0.1M $Ca(NO_3)_2$, and 1M ammonium acetate(pH 7), and analyzed by atomic absorption spectroscopy. The results were as follows: 1. The total copper contents in soil that received $45.0mg.\;ha^{-1},\;yr^{-1}$ of composted sludge were higher than that received $22.5mg.\;ha^{-1}.yr^{-1}$, regardless of soil samples. 2. The ratios of extractable copper contents with EDTA, DTPA, 0.1M HCl and 1M ammonium acetate to total copper contents extracted with 4M $HNO_3$ of long-term sludge applications were larger than those of natural, sludge-nontreated soils. 3. Statistically significant increase in total copper contents was found in the increasing values of multipling CEC, or OM% by R, ratio of extractable copper contents to those by 4M $HNO_3$ extraction as total copper contents in soils.

Effects of addition of 120ppm lysozyme and 0.12% glycine into Kimchi liquid on the growth of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) were investigated. The results showed that the growth of LAB was significantly reduced as much as 10$^1$~10$^4$cfu/$m\ell$ for the liquid having pH 5.5 during storage at 32$^{\circ}C$ while the liquid of pH 4.4 showed a reduction of LAB growth by 10$^1$~10$^2$cfu/$m\ell$. Combined addition of lysozyme and glycine was found to be more effective than those of individual additions. The decrease in pH of Kimrhi added with 100, 200 and 1, 000ppm lysozyme was slower than that of control, but there was no significant pH difference at late stage of fermentation. However Kimchi added with 100ppm lysozyme and 1% glycine decreased in the rate of pH change. Change in titratable acidity was also slowed up for Kimchi added lysozyme and glycine. The growth of LAB could be inhibited as much as 10$^1$to 10$^2$cfu/$m\ell$ in the Kimrhi sample added with 120ppm lysozyme and 2mM EDTA compared with other treatments including control.
