Cephalosporin-C deacetylase (CAH) catalyzes the deacetylation of cephalosporin derivatives. A novel gene encoding the CAH from Bacillus sp. KCCM10143 was cloned and sepuenced. The uncleotide sequence contained an open reading frame encoding a polypeptide consisting of 217 amino acids and a molecular weight of 24 kDa which was in good agreement with the value obtained by sodium dodecylsulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. An expression plasmid was constructed by inserting the CAH gene into the region of the pTrc99A expression vector. An active from of the CAH protein was expressed in the soluble fraction obtained after cell disruption. in fermentation using a 5-1 jar fementer, the transformant E. coli JM109 (pDST654) produced 4.12 U of CAH per ml of culture during 16 h of incubation.

Ginseng(Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer) is important medicinal plant but requires 4-year cultivation for root harvest because of slow growth. In contrast, ginseng hairy roots induced by introducing Ri-plasmid of Agrobacterium rhizogenes into genomic DNA of plant cells show vigorous growth, and the hairy roots produce the same or more saponins than natural ginseng roots. Therefore, hairy roots can be used for commercial purposes. The present study was carried out to induce hairy roots with both active growth and high saponin contents. Numerous hairy roots of Panax ginseng were obtained after root disks of three-year old roots were infected with Agrobacterium rhizogenes R1000 A4T in dark condition after one month of culture. About 3 hundred lines of hairy roots were selected according as morphological characters on medium with carbenicillin. After pre-selection of fifteen lines of hairy roots with active growth, KGHR-l and KGHR-8 lines were finally selected which had characters of high content of ginsenoside-Rd and ginsenoside-Re, respectively. The optimum growth of hairy roots was achieved in the culture of 1/2 MS liquid medium in dark (22 $^{\circ}C$) under 60 rpm gyratory shaking. Hairy roots grew well in 5L Erlenmeyer flasks, lL roller drums, 10L jar-fermenters, and especially in 20L air-lift culture vessels.

Nano-sized Sn powder was prepared by pulsed wire evaporation method. The Sn powder and carbon black were charged in jar and ball milled. The milling time was varied with 10 min., 1h, 2h, and 4h, respectively. The milled powders were dried and the shape and size were observed by FE-SEM. Nano-sized Sn powders were plastic-deformed and agglomerated by impact force of balls and heat generated during the SPEX milling. The agglomerated Sn powder also consisted of many nano-sized particles. Initial discharge capacities of milled Sn electrode powders with carbon powder were milled for 10 min., 1h, 2h, and 4h were 787, 829, 827, and 816 mAh/g, respectively. After 5 cycle, discharge capacities of Sn electrode powders with carbon powder milled for 10 min., 1h, 2h, and 4h decreased as 271, 331, 351, and 287 mAh/g, respectively. Because Sn electrode powders milled for 2h constist of uniform and fine size, the cyclability of coin cell made of this powders is better than others.

선발균의 효소생산성 향상을 위해 배양과정의 특징을 조사하였다. 효소생산을 위한 최적의 탄소원은 sucrose (35)이고, 질소원은 ammonium oxalate와 yeast extract를 함께 넣어 주었을 때이었다. 5l jar fermentor에서 선발균의 배양형태를 조사한 결과 2-3일 배양기간에는 pH가 4 이하로 현저하게 감소하는 것을 관찰하였고 4일 이후 다시 pH가 5-6 사이로 증가하였다. 균의 성장은 4일까지 증가하였다. 균체내 효소의 생성은 2일까지는 현저한 증가를 보이고 3-4일 정도 큰 변화를 나타내지 않으며 5일 이후 감소하였다. 균체외 효소는 5-6 일까지 계속 증가하는 형태를 나타내었다. Glucose로 24시간 동안 미리 배양한 후 surcose를 첨가하여 배양했을 때 균체내 효소의 생산이 현저히 증가하는 것을 알 수 있었다.

The strain SL-387 which produces new inhibitors of aminopeptidase M, MR-387A and B, was isolated from a soil sample. The strain has branched substrate mycelia, from which aerial hyphae develop in the form of open spirals. Spore surface is smooth. Melanoid and soluble pigme- nts were observed. The isolate contains LL-diaminopimelic acid in its cell wall hydrolysate, and has no pectinolytic activity. The strain SL-387 is closely related to Streptomyces griseoruber and S. naganishii, but is different from these strains in some cultural and physiological characteristics. This strain was, therefore, designated as Streptomyces sp. SL-387. The effects of several carbon and nitrogen sources on the production of the inhibitor were examined. Among them, glucose, galactose, mannose, and xylose were effective as a carbon source and soybean meal, soytone, fish meal, and gluten meal were effective as a nitrogen source. The maximum peak of the inhibitor production in jar fermentor was obtained on the fifth day of culture.

7-Aminocephalosporanic acid (7-ACA) is the initial compound in preparation of cephalosporin antibiotics widely used in clinical treatment. Bacteria producing glutaryl 7-ACA acylase, which convert cephalosporin C to 7-ACA, has been screened in soil samples. A bacterial strain exhibiting high glutaryl 7-ACA acylase activity, designated KAC-1, was isolated and identified as a strain of Pseudomonas diminuta by characterizing its morphological and physiological properties. The screening procedures include culturing on enrichment media containing glutaric acid, glutamate, and glutaryl 7-aminocephalosporanic acid as selective carbon sources. To enhance enzyme production, optimal cultivation conditions were investigated. This strain grew optimally at pH 7 to 9 and in temperatures of 20 to 40 C, but acylase production was higher when the strain was grown at 25 C. Glutaric acid, glutamate and glucos also acted as inducers for acylase production. In a jar fermenter culture, P. diminuta KAC-1 produce acylase in a growth-associated manner. The substrate specificity of KAC-1 acylase by cell extract showed that this enzyme had specificity toward glutaryl 7-ACA, glutaryl 7-ADCA, but not cephalosporin C.

Background: This study sought to determine whether the antioxidant effects of astaxanthin (AST) could have an anti-inflammatory effect to reduce inflammation caused by atopic dermatitis (AD). Methods: Using a mouse model of AD induced by phtalic acid (PA), the levels of inflammation, inflammatory agents, and evidence of antioxidant activity were examined in PA treated mice (n = 3), PA-AST treated mice (n = 3), and a control group of mice (n = 3). This included measurements of ear thickness, levels of mast cells, IgE, inflammatory cytokine, malondialdehyde (MDA), hydrogen peroxide, HO-1, and GPx-1. Results: AST treatment significantly prevented inflammation as measured by ear thickness (p < 0.05), mast cell count (p < 0.001), and IgE concentration in the blood (p < 0.001). Levels of TNF-α (p < 0.001), IL-1β (p < 0.001), IL-6 (p < 0.001), and MDA (p < 0.05) were also significantly lower. In addition, GSH levels increased significantly (p < 0.001), and the level of hydrogen peroxide significantly reduced (p < 0.01). The expression of HO-1, GPx-1 increased. Conclusion: In this small experimental study, AST acted on inflammatory mechanisms that induced AD, through anti-inflammatory and antioxidant mechanisms, and is a candidate of interest in the clinical treatment of AD.

To determine the effect of Korean medicine treatment of avascular necrosis of the femoral head (ANFH) this study reviewed both single ingredients and bioactive compounds in the treatment of ANFH in a rat model. Literature was retrieved from PubMed and Google Scholar using the keywords "femur head necrosis," "natural extract," and "rat." The data from studies analyzed included: rats' characteristics, development methods of ANFH, natural extracts administration, observation methods, and outcome indicators. Two independent researchers screened all articles retrieved and 26 studies were chosen. The most used rat species was the Sprague Dawley rat (76.9%). To induce ANFH, steroid injections (46.2%), and oral gavage (53.8%) were typically used. Studies focused mainly on factors affecting bone formation (65.3%), and apoptosis (53.8%). Research on ANFH focused on using traditional natural substances mentioned in classical literature to confirm its effectiveness against anti-inflammation, osteogenesis, and cell death. ANFH has a diverse etiology, therefore research models such as genetic analysis of human-derived samples from ANFH patients may shed more light on the condition. Moreover, research into herbal medicines and pharmacoacupuncture treatment of ANFH should precede.
