${\alpha}$-Amylase와 glucoamylase를 동시에 안정하게 분비하여 전분을 일단계로 직접 에탄올로 발효시킬수 있는 효모 균주를 개발하기 위하여 glucoamylase를 분비하는 Saccharomyces diastaticus hybrid 균주에 쥐의 침샘 유래의 ${\alpha}$-amylase cDNA 유전자를 plasmid vector를 이용하여 도입하였다. 이 균주로부터 효소생산에 필요한 유전자를 잃어버림이 없이 안정하게 분비할 수 있도록 하기 위하여 $\alpha$-amylase 유전자를 효모의 염색체에 삽입시키기 위한 integrating plasmid vector인 YIpMS$\Delta$R(LEU2)를 제작하였다. 이 vector의 효모형질전환에 있어 원형(circular)상태와 제한 효소 XbaI으로 처리된 직선화된(linearized) 상태의 두가지 형태를 비교한 결과 형질전환 효율에서나 형질전환체내의 $\alpha$-amylase 유전자 보유정도가 모두 직선화된 형태의 경우가 원형상태의 경우보다 높았다. Linearized vecotr를 가진 효모 형질전환체에서의 유전자 발현 안정도는 세포분열을 거듭할수록 episomal vecotr에 의한 효모 형질전환체에서의 발현 안정도보다 우수하게 나타났다. 또한 이 linearized vector를 가진 형질전환체는 $\alpha$-amylase와 glucoamylase를 동시에 분비하여 glucoamylase만 분비하는 원균주보다 2배 이상의 전분분해력을 보였다.

대체에너지 생산을 위한 우수발효효모를 선별하기 위하여 전국 지역에서 전분, 전분박 및 전분 공장의 주변 토양과 폐수 등 시료를 채취하여 glucoamylase를 분비하는 효모균 64분리주를 얻었으며 이중 비교적 높은 activity를 보여주는 분리주를 선별하였다. 분리주를 동정한 결과 A1-5, D1, E3, G1과 J20은 Saccharomyces diastaticus로 동정되었으며 Saccharomycopsis fibuligera와 Schwanniomyces occidentalis는 각각 두 분리주, Ambrosiozyma monospora와 Lypomyces kononenkoae로 각각 한 분리주색 동정되었다. 그 중 높은 효소활성을 보여주는 S. diastaticus A1-5, J20과 E3을 선택하여 분비되는 glucoamylase의 일반적인 특성을 조사하였다. 배양액내의 효소의 생성을 측정한 결과 glucose나 saccharose, 그리고 4탄당과 3탄당보다 수용성녹말에 의하여 현저하게 증가하였다. Glucoamylase활성의 반응 최적 온도는 $50^{\circ}C{\sim}60^{\circ}C$였고, 최적 pH는 $5{\sim}6$이었으며, 열에 대해서는 $60^{\circ}C$ 이상에서는 불안정한 활성을 보며주었다. 금속이온에 따른 효소의 활성은 $Na^+,\;Mg^{2+}$에 의해 약간 증가하였으나, $H^{2+},\;Ag^{2+}$에 의해 현저하게 감소되는 현상을 보여주었다. 효소의 기질 특이성은 수용성녹말이 쌀 전분, 옥수수전분과 밀 전분에 비하여 현저하게 좋은 기질임을 알 수 있었다.

A gene, npl, encoding neopullulanase from Paenibacillus sp. KCTC 8848P was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. It consisted of an open reading frame of 1,530 bp for a protein that consisted of 510 amino acids with a molecular weight of 58,075 Da. The deduced amino acid sequence of the neopullulanase gene had $92\%$ identity with the neopullulanase of Bacillus polymyxa. The npl gene was also expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae secreting Schwanniomyces occidentalis glucoamylase (GAM1) under the control of the yeast actin gene (ACT1) promoter. Secretion of the neopullulanase was directed by the yeast mating pheromone ${\alpha}$ -factor ($MF{\alpha}1$) prepro region. Enzyme assays confirmed that co-expression of npl and GAM1 enhanced starch and pullulan degradation by S. cerevisiae.

Sporulation-specific glucoamylase (SGA) gene was isolated from genomic library of Saccharomyces diastaticus 5114-9A by using glucoamylase non-producing mutant of S. diastaticus as a recipient. When the glucoamylase activities of culture supernatant, periplasmic, and intracellular fraction of cells transformed with hybrid plasmid containing SGA gene were measured, the highest activity was detected in culture supernatant. SGA produced by transformant and extracellular glucoamylase produced by S. diastaticus 5114-9A differed in enzyme characteristics such as optimum temperature, thermostability, and resistance to SDS and urea. But the characteristics of SGA produced by sporulating yeast cells and vegetatively growing transformants were identical.

Aspergillus niger was selected as a strain producing the potent raw starch hydorlyzing enzyme. These experiments were conducted to investigate the conditions of the glucoa- mylase production, the purification of the enzyme, some characteristics of the purified enzyme and hydrolysis rate on various raw starches such as com, rice, potato, glutinous rice, sweet potato, wheat and barley. The optimum cultural temperature and time for the enzyme production on wheat bran medium were $30^{\circ}C$ and 96hrs, respectively. The respective addition of yeast extract and nutrient broth on wheat bran medium increased slightly the enzyme production. The enzyme was purified by ammonium sulfate fractionation and DEAE-cellulose column chromatography. The specific activity of the purified enzyme was 30.7u/mg-protein and the yield of enzyme activity was 25.8%. The purified enzyme showed a single band on polyacrylamide disc gel electrophoresis and its molecular weight was estimated to be 56,000 by SDS-polyacrylamide disc gel electrophoresis. The isoelectric point for the purified enzyme was pH3.7. The optimum temperature and pH were $65^{\circ}C$ and pH 4.0, respectively. The purified enzyme was stable in the pH range of pH 3.0-9.5 and below $45^{\circ}C$, and its thermal stability was slightly increased by the addition of $Ca^{2+}$. The purified enzyme was activated by $Co^{2+},\;Sr^{2+},\;Mn^{2+},\;Fe^{2+},\;Cu^{2+}$. Raw rice starch, raw corn starch, raw glutinous rice starch, raw sweet potato starch, raw wheat starch and raw barley starch showed more than 90% hydrolysis rate in 48hrs incubation. Even raw potato starch, most difficult to be hydrolyzed, showed 80% hydrolysis rate. The purified enzyme was identified as glucoamylase.

We investigated the possibility of industrial application and economit process of high temperature fermentation by thermotolerant alcohol producing yeasts as previously reported. From the 20% glucose media, the RA-74-2 produced 11.8% (v/v) ethanol at $32^{\circ}C$ (0.5% inoculum) and 10.6% (v/v) ethanol at $40^{\circ}C$ (3% inoculum), respectively. Also, 11.3% (v/v) ethanol was produced for 96 hours in the temperature-gradient fermentation. These results suggest that the RA-74-2 could isuccessfully be applied to save the cooling water and energy in industrial scale without re-investment or modification of established fermentation systems. When potato starch was used as the substrate for the RA-74-2, high temperature fermentation above $40^{\circ}C$ was more appropriate for industrial utilization because organic nitrogen was not necessary to economical fermentation. As the naked barley media just prior to industrial inoculation, taken from the Poongkuk alcohol industry Co., were used, 9.6% (v/v) ethanol was produced at $40^{\circ}C$ for 48 hours in jar-fermentor scale (actually, 9.5-9.8% (v/v) ethanol was produced at 30~$32^{\circ}C$ for 100 hours in industrial scale). The ethanol productivity was increased by the high glucoamylase activity as well as the high metabolic ratio at $40^{\circ}C$ Therefore, if the thermotolerant yeast RA-74-2 would be used in industrial scale, we could obtain a high productivity and saving of the cooling water and energy. Meanwhile, the RA-912 produced 6%(v/v) ethanol in 10% glucose media at $45^{\circ}C$ and showed the less ethanol-tolerance compared with industrial strains. As the produced alcohol was recovered by the vacuum evaporator at $45^{\circ}C$ in 15% glucose media, the final fermentation ratio was enhanced (76% of theoretical yields). This suggest that a hyperproductive process could be achieved by a continuous input of the substrate and continuous recovery of the product under vacuum in high cell-density culture.
