Alkaline protease which is an important enzyme used in detergents, leather tanning and food industry was produced by alkalophilic bacterium, Bacillus sp. KCTC 1723 isolated from soil. The maximum productivity of the enzyme in alkaline medium containing 1% sodium bicarbonate was obtained by incubating for 3 days at 37$^{\circ}C$. The optimum pH of the enzyme was 11.5 and calcium ion was effective on stabilization of the enzyme at high temperature. The enzyme was not inhibited by metal chelating agent such as El)TA but inhibited by diisopropyl fluorophosphate. Purification of the enzyme was carried out DEAE- and CM-cellulose column chromatographies and molecular weight of the purified enzyme was determined

A benzopyranyl derivative. KR32000. synthesized as a plausible KATP opener. has been shown to exert cardioprotective effect in vivo myocardial infarct model. In this study. we investigated whether KR32000 can produce cardioprotective effect against hypoxia- and reactive oxygen species(ROS)-induced injury in heart-derived H9c2 cells. Hypoxic injury was induced by incubating cells in anaerobic chamber (glucose-free. serum-free DMEM. 85% N2. 5% CO2. 10% H2) and oxidative stress was induced by buthionine sulfoximine(BSO). (omitted)

Minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) is the lowest concentration of antibiotics that inhibits the visible growth of bacteria. It has been reported that sub-MIC of antibiotics may result in morphological alterations, along with the biochemical and physiological changes in bacteria. The purpose of this study was to examine morphological changes of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, after the treatment with sub-MIC metronidazole and penicillin. The bacterial morphology was observed with scanning electron microscope, after incubating with sub-MIC antibiotics. The length of A. actinomycetemcomitans was increased after the incubation with sub-MIC metronidazole and penicillin. Sub-MIC metronidazole and penicillin inhibited bacterial division and induced long filaments. Our study showed that metronidazole and penicillin can induce the morphological changes in A. actinomycetemcomitans.

Taiwan's economy has been characterized by the strong existence and continuous creation of small and medium-sized enterprises. This phenomenon is commonly regarded to be the result of a culturally embedded strong entrepreneurial spirit. In the process of developing a high-technology industry in southern Taiwan, linking a newly established science park with existing local industries was one of the major challenges. This article reviewed the development history of Tainan Technopolis. Following a concise review of Southern Taiwan Science Park's struggle against becoming an assembly of spillover establishments from Hsinchu Science Park, the authors focused on the efforts of incubating startups. Although only an initial study, the authors demonstrated the roles of National Cheng Kung University and Southern Taiwan Science Park Administration in introducing a two-track incubation system based on collaboration between the two institutions and startups.

The activity of SD-framesylcysteine O-methyltransferase was assayed by incubating the enzyrne with a synthetic in vitro substrate, [N-acetyl-S-trans, trns-famesyl-L-cysteine (AFC)], together with S-adenosyl-L-[emthyl-$_{14}$C)ester(AFCME)], was then analyzed either directly on HPLC or by converting the AFC[$methyl^{14}C$]ME to [$methyl^{14}C$] aclcohol by basehydrolysis. Employing these two analytical methods, it was established that a peptide purifed from rat liver cytosol fraction [Int. J. Biochem., 25, 1157 919930] strongly inhibited the above enzyme activity with $IC_{50}\; of\; 7.1\times 10^{-8}$ M. Also, the S-famesylcysteine O-methyltransferase from several human colon cancer cells was equally inhibited by the peptide.

This study was carried out to investigate the embryonic developmental changes of the pineal gland during incubating period in the Korean pheasant. The pheasant embryos and fetuses were killed after 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 15, 19 and 23 (hatching) days of incubation. The morphological characteristics of a pineal gland were determined in all embryos and fetuses using the whole - mount technique, light microscopy and morphometry. The time of the first apparition of the pineal anlage, as a derivative of the roof of the third ventricle, was fixed at 3 days of incubation. The pineal vesicles appeared as solid mammilliform projections, which subsequently presented a central lumen, at 4 days of incubation. The pineal parenchyma was composed of the tubular pineal recess, the lobules surrounded with septum originating from the capsule and the follicles possessed central lumen at 23 days of incubation. The length, width and area of the pineal gland were increased markedly at 9 and 15 days of incubation. These results suggest that the pineal recess has an important role in the pineal development after hatching.

With the development of next-generation sequencing technology, ever-expanding databases of genetic information from various organisms are available to researchers. However, our ability to study the biological meaning of genetic information and to apply our genetic knowledge to produce genetically modified crops and animals is limited, largely due to the lack of molecular tools to manipulate genomes. Recently, targeted cleavage of the genome using engineered DNA scissors called zinc finger nucleases (ZFNs) has successfully supported the precise manipulation of genetic information in various cells, animals, and plants. In this review, we will discuss the development and applications of ZFN technology for genome engineering and highlight recent reports on its use in plants.

암최청을 요약하면 대략 다음과 같다. 1. 춘잠기에는 암최청이 소잠율을 높인다. 따라서 일제소잠이 가능하며, 그 비율은 80-90％를 상회하지만 소잠이 일일간 연기된다. 2. 추잠기의 암최청은 효과는 다소 있으나 암환경에서 이미 의잠이 부화하므로 추잠기 이야포의 결과를 가져오니 하추잠기에는 암최청을 하지 않는 것이 생리적이라고 고찰한다.

재래식 발효 청국장으로부터 분리한 8균주 중 phytase 생산성이 높은 3균주는 Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus licheniformis, Staphylococcus epidermidis로 동정되었다. 이들 phytase 생산균주를 단독 또는 혼합균주로 하여 35-$40^{\circ}C$와 pH 7.0의 최적조건에서 5일 동안 청국장을 발효시켰을 때 최대의 phytase 생산성을 보였으며 glutamic acid와 leucine 등의 일부 아미노산과 riboflavin의 함량이 증가되고 phytic acid 의 분해율도 재래식 청국장에서 보다 훨씬 높았다. 특히 B.subtilis와 B.licheniformis의 혼합균주로 발효시켰을 때 phytic acid 함량의 감소가 현저하였다.

The Hovenia extracts showed a significant hepato-protective activity against alcohol and CC4-induced hepatotoxicity. Injection of CC4 and alcohol induced liver injury and increased serum GOT (glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase) and GPT (glutamic pyuvic transaminase) levels in injured rats. The ADH (alcohol dehydrogenase)-like and ALDH (aldehyde dehydrogenase)-like activities in the Hovenia extracts were studied. Their activities in the extracts of Hovenia wood were higher than the extracts of other parts of Hovenia. And then Hovenia wood extracts have high effects on the alcohol and acetealdehyde degradation. The Hovenia extracts were decreased concentration of fusel oil. The ADH-like and ALDH-like activities in the Hovenia wood extract were 1.14 $unit/{\mu}l$, 0.33$unit/{\mu}l$ respectively.
