A soil bacterium was isolated from maize roots cultivated in Korea (KNUC153). The isolate was partially classified on basis of l6S rDNA sequence analysis as Stenotrophomonas maltophilia. By the acetylene reduction assay (ARA), the strain KNUC153 contained nitrogen-fixing abilities. The amount of auxin produced by the strain KNUC153 was $77.6\;{\mu}g/ml$. The strain KNUC153 produced 4 times higher amount of l-amino-cyclopropane-l-carboxy­lic acid deaminase than that of the other known strain Azospirillum sp. KNUC82. Inoculation treatment with the strain KNUC153 for maize seeds showed positive effect on early growth of the plants.

To evaluate the site-specific permeation of aspalatone (acetylsalicylic acid maltol ester, AM) through gastrointestinal tract, the enzymatic degradation and permeation studies were carried out using gastric, duodenal and jejunal mucosae of rabbits. It was found that $15.2{\pm}11.4%$, $11.6{\pm}5.2$ and $0.8{\pm}0.6%$ of the donor dose of AM, salicylmaltol (SM) and aspirin (ASA) permeated through the upper gastric mucosa after 8 hr of permeation, respectively. After 8 hr of AM permeation, SM and ASA were measured to be $15.0{\pm}1.7$ and $2.6{\pm}0.8%$ of the dose in the donor solutions, respectively, and salicylic acid (SA) was not detected even after 6 hr, suggesting a very low gastric damage. For the gastric mucosa, the increase of donor dose from 100 to $1,000\;{\mu}g/ml$ increased the permeation flux dose-dependently (r=0.9905). For the duodenal and jejunal mucosae, however, AM was fully degraded into SM and SA due to the esterase activities within 30 min. AM and ASA were not detected in the receptor solution. This result indicates that AM is not a prodrug of ASA. Addition of potassium fluoride (0.5%) into the donor solution delayed the degradation of AM, but did not allow the permeation through duodenal mucosa even by the inhibition of esterase activity. The addition of $dimethyl-{\beta}-cyclodextrin$ and $2-hydroxypropyl-{\beta}-cyclodextrin$ (5%) into the donor solutions also did not show favorable effects on the permeation of AM through various mucosae. In comparison of permeation rates of AM and ASA through the upper gastric mucosa, the flux of ASA was 4.2 times faster than AM based on the molar concentration. ASA also was fully degraded in the donor solutions faced with duodenal and jejunal mucosae within 2 hr, and was not detected in the receptor solution, suggesting a slower metabolism compared with AM.

This study investigated the hydrocarbonoclastic microbial community present on weathered crude oil and their ability to degrade weathered oil in seawater obtained from the Gulf St. Vincent (SA, Australia). Examination of the native seawater communities capable of utilizing hydrocarbon as the sole carbon source identified a maximum recovery of just $6.6{\times}10^1\;CFU/ml$, with these values dramatically increased in the weathered oil, reaching $4.1{\times}10^4\;CFU/ml$. The weathered oil (dominated by > $C_{30}$ fractions; $750,000{\pm}150,000mg/l$) was subject to an 8 week laboratory-based degradation microcosm study. By day 56, the natural inoculums degraded the soluble hydrocarbons (initial concentrations $3,400{\pm}700mg/l$ and $1,700{\pm}340mg/l$ for the control and seawater, respectively) to below detectable levels, and biodegradation of the residual oil reached 62% ($254,000{\pm}40,000mg/l$) and 66% ($285,000{\pm}45,000mg/l$) in the control and seawater sources, respectively. In addition, the residual oil gas chromatogram profiles changed with the presence of short and intermediate hydrocarbon chains. 16S rDNA DGGE sequence analysis revealed species affiliated with the genera Roseobacter, Alteromonas, Yeosuana aromativorans, and Pseudomonas, renowned oil-degrading organisms previously thought to be associated with the environment where the oil contaminated rather than also being present in the contaminating oil. This study highlights the importance of microbiological techniques for isolation and characterisation, coupled with molecular techniques for identification, in understanding the role and function of native oil communities.

본 연구는 OPS 기법에 의한 돼지 수정란의 동결-융해 시 수정란의 발달 단계와 superoxide dismutase (SOD)가 수정란의 생존능력에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. 돼지 체외수정 배반포는 OPS방법에 의해 동결 후 융해하여 $0{\sim}10units/ml$의 SOD 존재 하에 48시간 체외배양하였다. 동결-융해 후 형태학적으로 정상적인 수정란의 비율은 초기, 중기 및 확장배반포간에 유의적인 차이는 인정되지 않았다$(30.8{\sim}38.6%)$. 그러나 발육단계가 높을수록 형태적으로 정상인 수정란의 비율이 높은 경향을 나타냈다. 수정란의 융해 후 48시간 추가 배양했을 때, 발육이 진행된 수정란은 후기배반포기에 동결한 수정란이 38.7%로 유의적으로 높았으며(P<0.05), 1 unit/ml의 SOD를 첨가한 경우 비교적 높은 생존율을 나타내었다. 본 연구의 결과로부터, 수정란의 OPS방법에 의한 동결-융해 후 생존성의 향상을 위해서는 후기배반포기 단계에 동결하는 것이 유리하며, SOD의 첨가는 수정란의 손상을 어느 정도 방지할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

We have designed a new type of bubble oxygenator (KOREA-KIM VENOTHERM OXYGENATOR) made of PVC sheet and deforming mesh incorporated in the heat exchanger, and evaluated in experimental animal for the analysis of it`s efficiency. The Oxygenator has low priming volume with high flow rate up to 6 L/rain, and efficiency of heat exchanger was excellent as 1-$1.5^{\circ}C.$ using total cardiopulmonary bypass method under moderate to deep hypothermia. Average priming volume of 1317 ml with 30% hemodilution method was perfused with an average of 1.1-3.0 L/min.$M^2$of arterial blood and pure oxygen at a rate of 2-3.4 L/min for 49.6 minutes continuously in average. During total cardiopulmonary bypass, average $PaO_2$ was $159.8{\pm}60$mmHg, $PaCO_2$ $41.0{\pm}3$mmHg respectively under $SaO_2$ over 96% with systolic arterial pressure of 70 mmHg and CVP of 5-10 cm$H_2O$. Plasma free Hemoglobin was $7.0{\pm}4$ mg/dl with 25% drop of hemoglobin and hematocrit at the end of cardiopulmonary bypass. This KKV Oxygenator was observed to have excellent capabillty of oxygen and carbon dioxide gas transfer with small amount of blood trauma, and the efficiency of heat exchanger was satisfactory during cooling and rewarming of the bubbled blood. Disadvantages have included the somewhat poor deforming effect due to loose PVC fiber mesh, the extracompact character of Teflon filters, and the rough inner surface of the heat exchanger copper pipes.

A 1, 4-.betha.-D-xylanase, designated as xylanase II, was purified from the culture filtrate of Trichoderma koningii ATCC 251131 by column chromatography on Sephadex G-75, SP-Sephadex C-50, DEAE-Sephadex A-50 and Sephadex G-50 with an overall yield of 6.97%. It has a molecular weight of 21.000 and an isoelectric point of 9.4. The enzyme activity is optimal at pH 5.0 and at a temperature of 50.deg.C. Xylanase II is stable up to 50.deg.C, while 40 and 90% of its activity are lost after the incubation for 30 and 60 min at 60.deg.C. The enzyme degrades xylan with relatively high activity, as well as carboxymethylcellulose and Avicel. Its $K_{m}$ values for oat-spelt xylan, larchwood xylan and Avicel are 7.48, 1.98 and 13.33 mg/ml, respectively. The hydrolysis products of oat-spelt xylan by xylanase II are xylose, xylobiose, xylotriose and arabinoxylotriose, while the reaction products of larchwood xylan are xylose, xylobiose, xylotriose and small amount of higher oligomers. The action paterns of the enzyme demonstrate that xylanase II is endo-enzyme.
