Experiments on deactivation kinetics of immobilized lipase enzyme from Candida cyl-indracea were performed in stirred bath reactor using rice bran oil as the substrate and temperature as the deactivation parameter. The data were fitted In first order deactivation model. The effect of temperature on deactivation rate was represented by Arrhenius equation. Theoretical equations were developed based on pseudo-steady state approximation and Michaelis -Menten rate expression to predict the time course of conversion due to enzyme deactivation and apparent half-life of the immobilized enzyme activity in PFR and CSTH under constant feed rate polity for no diffusion limitation and diffusion limitation of first order. Stability of enzyme in these continuous reactors was predicted and factors affecting the stability were analyzed.

A continuous production of fructooligosaccharides from sucrose was investigated by fructosyltransferase immobilized on a high porous resin, Diaion HPA25. The optimum pH(5.5) and temperature(55$^{\circ}C$) of the enzyme for activity was unaltered by immobilization, and the immobilized enzyme became less sensitive to the pH change. The optimal operation conditions of the immobilized enzyme column for maximizing the productivity were as follows: 600g/L of sucrose feed concentration, flow rate of superficial space velocity 2.7h-1. When the enzyme column was run at 50$^{\circ}C$, about 8% loss of the initial activity of immobilized enzyme was observed after 30 days of continuous operation, during which high productivity of 1174g/L$.$h was achieved. The kinds of products obtained using the immobilized enzyme were almost the same as those using soluble enzymes or free cells.

The nucleotide sequence of Bacillus sp. bacteriolytic enzyme gene, lytP and its flanking regions were determined. A unique open reading frame for a protein of Mw. 27, 000, and a putative terminator sequence, were found behind a concensus ribosome binding site located 8 nt upstream from ATG start codon. The primary amino acid sequence deduced from nucleotide sequence revealed a putative protein of 255 amino acid residues with an Mw. of 27, 420. No significant homology could be found between the amino acid sequence of Bacillus sp. bacteriolytic enzyme and that of other cell wall hydrolases.

Active lipase-producing bacterium Burkholderia gladioli Bps-1 was rapidly isolated using a modified trypan blue and tetracycline, ampicillin plate. The electro-phoretically pure enzyme was obtained by purification using ethanol precipitation, ion-exchange chromatography, and gel filtration chromatography. The molecular weight was 34.6 kDa and the specific activity was determined to be 443.9 U/mg. The purified lipase showed the highest activity after hydrolysis with $p-NPC_{16}$ at a pH of 8.5 and $50^{\circ}C$, and the $K_m$, $k_{cat}$, and $k_{cat}/K_m$ values were 1.05 mM, $292.95s^{-1}$ and $279s^{-1}mM^{-1}$, respectively. The lipase was highly stable at $7.5{\leq}pH{\leq}10.0$. $K^+$ and $Na^+$ exerted activation effects on the lipase which had favorable tolerance to short-chain alcohols with its residual enzyme activity being 110% after being maintained in 30% ethanol for 1 h. The results demonstrated that the lipase produced by the strain B. gladioli Bps-1 has high enzyme activity and is an alkaline lipase. The lipase has promising chemical properties for a range of applications in the food-processing and detergent industries, and has particularly high potential for use in the manufacture of biodiesel.

The $11{\alpha}$-hydroxylation of $16{\alpha}$, 17-epoxyprogesterone (EP) catalyzed by Rhizopus nigricans is crucial for the steroid industry. However, lower conversion rate of the biohydroxylation restricts its potential industrial application. The $11{\alpha}$-steroid hydroxylase CYP509C12 from R. oryzae were reported to play a crucial role in the $11{\alpha}$-hydroxylation in recombinant fission yeast. In the present study, the CYP509C12 of R. oryzae (RoCYP) was introduced into R. nigricans using the liposome-mediated mycelial transformation. Heterologous expression of RoCYP resulted in increased fungal growth and improved intracellular reactive oxygen species content in R. nigricans. The $H_2O_2$ levels in RoCYP transformants were approximately 2-folder that of the R. nigricans wild type (RnWT) strain, with the superoxide dismutase activities increased approximately 45% and catalase activities decreased approximately 68%. Furthermore, the $11{\alpha}$-hydroxylation rates of EP in RoCYP transformants (C4, C6 and C9) were 39.7%, 38.3% and 38.7%, which were 12.1%, 8.2% and 9.4% higher than the rate of the RnWT strain, respectively. This paper investigated the effect of heterologous expression of RoCYP in R. nigricans, providing an effective genetic method to construct the engineered strains for steroid industry.

Screening microorganisms that can produce glucan hydrolases for industrial, environmental, and biomedical applications is important. Herein, we describe a novel approach to perform glucan hydrolase screening-based on analysis of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS) spectra-which involves degradation of the oligo- and polysaccharides. As a proof-of-concept study, glucan hydrolases that could break down glucans made of several glucose units were used to demonstrate the MALDI-MS-based enzyme assay. First, the enzyme activities of ${\alpha}$-amylase and cellulase on a mixture of glucan oligosaccharides were successfully discriminated, where changes of the MALDI-MS profiles directly reflected the glucan hydrolase activities. Next, we validated that this MALDI-MS-based enzyme assay could be applied to glucan polysaccharides (i.e., pullulan, lichenan, and schizophyllan). Finally, the bacterial glucan hydrolase activities were screened on 96-well plate-based platforms, using cell lysates or samples of secreted enzyme. Our results demonstrated that the MALDI-MS-based enzyme assay system would be useful for investigating bacterial glucoside hydrolases in a high-throughput manner.

A novel suspension-phase enzyme reaction system for the intermolecular transglycosylation of L-ascorbic acid into 2-O-${\alpha}$-D-glucopyranosyl L-ascorbic acid supplementing extrusion starch as the glycosyl donor was developed using cyclodextrin glucanotransferase from Thermoanaerobacter sp. A high conversion yield compared to the conventional soluble-phase enzyme reaction system using cyclodextrins and soluble starch was achieved. The optimal reaction conditions were 2,000 units of cycIodextrin glucanotransferase, 20 g/l of L-ascorbic acid, and 50 g/l of extrusion starch at $50^{\circ}C$ for 24 h. The new suspension-phase enzyme reaction system also exhibited several distinct advantages other than a high conversion yield, including a lower accumulation of oligosaccharides and easily separable residual extrusion starch by centrifugation or filtration in the reaction mixture, which will facilitate the purification of 2-O-${\alpha}$-D-glucopyranosyl L-ascorbic acid. The new suspension-phase enzyme reaction system seems to be potentially applicable as the industrial process for the production of thermally and oxidatively stable 2-O-${\alpha}$-D-glucopyranosyl L-ascorbic acid.

For studies of fibrinolytic enzyme strain K-54 was isolated from the Korean traditional food chungkook-jang. Isolated strains K-54 was identified as Bacillus subtilis. The molecular weight of fibrinolytic enzyme from B. subtilis K-54 was 27 kDa. Optimum temperature for fibrinolytic enzyme of B. subtilis K-54 was $50-70^{\circ}C$ and optimum pH for producing the enzyme of this strain was ranging from 8 to 12. Also, it was found out enzyme activity was completely inhibited by 1mM PMSF. The result indicated this enzyme was thermo-stable alkaline serine protease with strong fibrinolytic activity. The wool and silk were treated with protease of B. subtilis K-54. As a result, the property of dyeing of wool fabrics was increased. By the increasing of treatment time became smoothened. But the change of mechanical properties were not changed.

세포외 효소를 효율적으로 생산하기 위한 새로운 발효시스템으로서 수성 2상계를 시험하였다. 실험대상으로는 Bacillus amyloliquefaciens 균주에 의하여 $\alpha$-amylase를 생산하는 시스템을 선정하였다. Polyethylene glycol 5%, dextran 7%, 그리고 발효액이 88% 포함된 수성 2상계 발효시스템에 의하여 $\alpha$-amylase의 생합성은 25% 정도 증가하였으며 효소의 비활성화는 관찰되지 않았다. 또한 Polyethylene glycol 이 효소의 생합성을 증진시키는 것으로 관찰되었다. 효소의 생합성을 증가시키며 동시에 효소를 발효액으로부터 분리하기 위하여는 polyethylene glycol을 성장도중에, dextran은 효소의 활성이 최고에 달한 후에 발효액에 가하는 발효방법이 바람직하다.
