Acetobacter sp. strains were isolated from traditional vinegar collected in Daegu city and Gyeongbuk province. The strain KJY8 showing a high acetic acid productivity was isolated and characterized by phenotypic, chemotaxonomic, and phylogenetic inference based on 16S rRNA sequence analysis. The chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic analyses revealed the isolate to be a strain of Acetobacter pomorum. The isolate showed a G+C content of 60.8 mol%. It contained $\small{LL}$-diaminopimelic acid ($\small{LL}$-$A_2pm$) as the cell wall amino acid and ubiquinone $Q_9$ (H6) as the major quinone. The predominant cellular fatty acids were $C_{18:1}w9c$, w12t, and w7c. Strain KJY8 grew rapidly on glucose-yeast extract (GYC) agar and formed pale white colonies with smooth to rough surfaces. The optimum cultivation conditions for acetic acid production by the KJY8 strain were $20^{\circ}C$ and pH 3.0, with an initial ethanol concentration of 9% (w/v) to produce an acetic acid concentration of 8% (w/v).

미생물 효소에 의해 생산된 생산모액 내의 글루타치온(L-${\gamma}$-glutamyl-L-cysteinylglycine, GSH)을 액체크로마토그래피를 이용하여 분리하였다. GSH와 결합하는 수지를 선택하기 위해 여러 수지와 GSH 수용액을 사용하여 회분식 흡착실험을 한 결과, pH 8.0에서 음이온 교환수지인 Q-sepharose와 QAE- sephadex에 GSH가 결합하였으나, QAE-sephadex는 수지와 결합된 GSH를 이탈시키기 위해 사용된 salt에 의해 부피가 줄어들어 부적합하였다. GSH 분리를 위한 기초실험을 위하여 GSH, cysteine, glutamate, glycine, $\gamma$-glutamylcysteine, ATP, glucose의 혼합액에서 GSH와 $\gamma$-glutamylcysteine를 다른 물질로부터 1차 분리할 수 있었다. NaCl의 농도를 조절하여 두 물질이 중첩되는 현상을 제거하여 분리하고자 하였으며, GSH의 tailing현상을 줄이도록 노력하였다. NaCl(35mM)을 용해시킨 Tris buffer를 사용함으로써 두 물질의 분리가 가능하였고, 생산모액을 사용하여 실험한 결과, 혼합 시료와 유사한 분리결과를 얻을 수 있었다. Standard solution에서의 GSH 분리결과 72.6%의 회수율을 보였으며, 생산 모액에서는 84.4%의 회수율을 각각 보였다.

To investigate the physiological responses to naturally occurring winter freezing stress in creeping bentgrass, changes in carbohydrates were monitored during winter period. Turf quality and leaf growth was nearly parallel with temperature fluctuation. The concentration of glucose, fructose and sucrose in both shoot and root gradually increased from November to January, and then sharply decreased until April. Sucrose was the largest pool of soluble sugars. Fructan also slightly accumulated in both shoot and roots from November to February. Fructan hydrolysis in both organs was found to be much active between February to April. Shoot contained largely higher carbohydrate content in all compounds examined than roots did. Fructan was found to be a main carbohydrate storage form, showing the highest concentration (176.7 and 126.7 mg g-' DW for shoot and root in February). The depolymerization of fructan from February coincided with the high declines in mono- and disaccharide. These results suggest that the accumulation of non-structural carbohydrate until January could be associated with freezing tolerance, and the active decrease from February with shoot regrowth.

To investigate the anti-complementary and cytotoxic effects of oriental prescription, Kuseonwangdogo, on the proliferation of preadipocyte 3T3- L1 cells, we examined biological effects of Kuseonwangdogo. The results obtained were as follows. 1. After 14 days, the body weight of rats treated with Kuseonwangdogo decreased more than that in the control group (p<0.05). However, the weights of liver, spleen and kidney were unchanged. In serum biochemical test, we examined the level of glucose (GLU) and glutamic pyruvic transaminase (GPT). The levels of GOT and CHOL in serum were decreased remarkably by the administration of Kuseonwangdogo (p<0.05). The haematological examination of the tested group showed significant increment of white blood cells (WBC), hemoglobin concentration (HGB), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) and monocyte (MO). 2. The effect of Kuseonwangdogo on the proliferation of 3T3-L1 cells was tested by the sulforhodamin B(SRB) assay. The high concentration ($100{\mu}l\;and\;200{\mu}l$) of extracts inhibited the proliferation of 3T3- L1 cells. The p-value was <0.01, respectively. 3. The extract of Kuseonwangdogo showed a potent anti -complementary activity. It was suggested that the active principle may be a kind of polysaccharide molecule. 4. The cytotoxic effects of Kuseonwang dogo and its composing herbs in human liver cells (WRL68) and monkey kidney cells (Vero) were examined by the SRB and 3- (4,5- Dimethylthiazol-2-yl) -2,5 diphenyl-2H- tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. Cytotoxic effects were not observed.

Aspergillus nidulans, a homothalic ascomycete, has a complete sexual reproductive cycle as well as an asexual one. Both sexual and asexual development are known to be genetically programmed, but are also strongly affected by environmental factors including nutrients, light, temperature and osmolarity. We have examined these factors to define favored conditions for fruiting body (cleistothecium) formation. In general, fruiting body formation was enhanced where carbon and nitrogen sources were sufficient. Limitation of C-source caused predominant asexual development while inhibiting sexual development. When higher concentrations of glucose were supplied, more cleistothecia were formed. Other carbon sources including lactose, galactose and glycerol made the fungus develop cleistothecia very well, whereas acetate caused asexual sporulation only. Organic nitrogen sources like casein hydrolysate and glycine, and an increase in nitrate or ammonium concentration also enhanced sexual development. In addition to nutrient effects, low levels of aerobic respiration, caused either by platesealing or treatment with various chemicals, favored sexual development. Carbon limitation, light exposure and a high concentration of salts promoted asexual development preferentially, suggesting that stress conditions may drive the cell to develop asexual sporulation while comfortable and wellnourished growth conditions favored sexual development.

This study was investigating the anti-obesity effects of diets with a mixture of cheese, red ginseng and fermented mature fruit of Rubus coreanus Miquel. We fed the experimental diets (SC5, SC10) supplemented with 5% or 10% cheese containing of fermented mixture, then orally administered the extract of fermented mixture (RB100, RB300) at a concentration of 100 or 300 mg/kg body weight to SD rats with high fat diet (HFD). The results were as follows: Sample cheese groups decreased visceral fat mass and adipocyte size of stomach compared to that of HFD group. Additionally, lipid droplets of liver in sample cheese groups were smaller than that in HFD group. The serum triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (tChol), glucose, leptin, and insulin levels in sample cheese group were lower than that in HFD group. But, the serum adiponectin and HDL-cholesterol (cHDL) levels were higher than that in HFD group. These results suggest that fermentation of red ginseng and Rubus coreanus mixed with cheese might be helpful in preventing obesity in high fat diet-fed rats.

Aflatoxins are toxic and carcinogenic secondary metabolites which are produced by trains of A. flavus and A. parasiticus during their growth on foods and feedstuffs. Aflatoxins are a group of closely related heterocyclic compounds of which $B_1$, $B_2$, and $G_2$ are the major members. Aflatoxins are synthesized via a polyketide pathway in which the general steps are acetate, an-thraquinones, xanthone and aflatoxins. Aflatoxin formation is favored by high moisture or high $a_w$(0.95${\sim}$0.99). The limiting $a_w$ for aflatoxin production on agricultural commodities is 0.83. Optimum temperature for aflatoxin production by the molds is $25{\sim}30^{\circ}C$ and the incubation time for the maximum production of the toxin is 7${\sim}$15 days. The limiting temperatures for aflatoxin production are ${\leq}7.5^{\circ}C\;and\;\geq40^{\circ}C$. Cycling temperatures may or may not stimulate aflatoxin production depending on the amplitude of cycling, substrate and strains of molds. Aflatoxin pro-ducing molds are aerobic organisms and thus have a requirement for oxygen. A decreasing $O_2$ concentration and/or increasing concentrations of $CO_2$ or $N_2$ depress the mold growth and aflatoxin formation. A. flavus grows competitively or associatively in the presence of other microorganisms and occasionally loses the competition with other microorganisms. Some lactic acid bacteria have been shown to reduce growth and aflatoxin production by A. parasiticus. Carbon source is the most important nutritional factors affecting aflatoxin formation by the molds. Sucrose, fructose and glucose are the most favorable carbon sources. Food substrates of plant derived products which have high carbohydrate content such as agricultural commodities and their products are most vulnerable to contamination by aflatoxins.

순환여과식 어류 양식 시설에서 호기성 미생물의 질산화 작용에 의하여 암모니아는 질산염으로 산화되어 축적되며 이를 제거하기 위하여 협기성 미생물을 이용한 탈질산화 과정을 많이 이용하고 있다. 이 과정에서 혐기성 미생물에 의한 탈질산화 효율은 외부 탄소원의 종류, 수리학적 체류시간(hydraulic retention time, HRT) 및 외부 탄소원 농도에 대한 수중 질산염의 농도비율 ($COD/NO_3^-N$, C;N)에 따라 달라진다. 따라서 우리 나라 순환여과식 양식장에서 일반적으로 이용되고 있는 선라이트 골판을 여과 재료로 한 침지식 여과조를 탈질 여과조로 이용하여 적정 유기 탄소원 제거 조건을 구명하기 위해 질산염의 농도를 순환여과식 양어장의 일반적인 농도인 $20.0mg/\ell$로 고정하고 외부 탄소원으로 메탄올과 글루코스를 사용하여 HRT와 C:N 비율 변화에 따른 적정 제거 조건을 알아보았다. 외부 탄소원의 종류에 따른 질산성질소의 제거 효율은 어떤 실험 조건에서도 메탄올이 글루코스보다 높게 나왔으며 HRT의 경우 글루코스와 메탄올 어느 쪽도 HRT 4시간 보다 8시간에서 효율이 좋았다. (P<0.05). HRT 8시간에서 C:N의 비율 3,4,5,6 중에서 5까지는 효율이 증가하여 글루코스의 경우 최대 제거 효율은 76.5%였고 일간 제거속도는 $223.5 g/m^2/day$였다. 그러나 외부 탄소원으로 메탄올을 사용할 경우 C:N 비율이 6으로 증가하면 효율이 감소되었다. HRT가 4시간일 경우 일간제거속도는 C:N 비율 5의 조건에서 메탄올이 $355.6g/m^2/day$로 가장 높았으나 배출수에 포함된 유기물 농도가 $40.9 mg/\ell$로 양어 용수에는 부적당하였다. 적정 제거 조건으로 생각되어지는 HRT 8시간, C:N 비율 5, 유기탄소원으로 메탄올을 사용하여 유입수의 질산성질소 농도를 $40.9 mg/\ell$ 로 높일 때 일간 제거속도는 질산성질소 농도가 20.6 mg/\ell$일 때 보다 2.2배가 증가하였다. 또한 배출수의 질산성질소 농도도 $5.6 mg/\ell$로 나타나 질산성질소의 일간제거속도는 높아졌으나 C:N 비율 5를 맞추기 위한 메탄올의 농도 증가로 인하여 배출수의 메탄올 농도가 $71.3 mg/\ell$로 증가하여 양식 dydt로는 부적당하였다. 따라서 선라이트 골판을 이용한 침지식 탈질조의 최적 운전 조건은 HRT 8시간, C:N 비율 5및 외부 탄소원으로 메탄올을 이용하는 것이 가장 좋은 결과를 나타내었다. 유입수의 질선성질소 농도가 증가하면서 질산성질소의 일간제거속도도 함께 증가하였고 이에 따라 수중 pH도 8.0에서 8.8까지 점차적으로 증가하는 결과를 나타내었다.
