소양호에서 식물 플랑크톤이 분비하는 유기물의 분자량 크이게 따른 세균수와 활성의 변화를 측정하였다. 소양호 상걸리 유역에서 여름철에 채수한 물을 tangential flow ultrafiltration 으로 용존 유기물질을 100,000 nMW~0.1$\mu\textrm{m}$, 10,000 nMW~100,000 nMW와 1,000 nMW~10000 nMW의 3개 fraction으로 구분하였고, 여기에 호숫물을 접종하여, 세균수와 $\beta$-glucosidase 의 변화를 측정하였다. 배양기간 동안에 나타난 총세균수는 24시간까지 급격히 증가한 후 점차 안정적으로 변하는 전형적인 성장곡선을 나타내었으며, DOC 농도와 종류가 달랐음에도 , $1.2{\times}10^{7}$ cells $ml^(-1)$범위였고, 저분자 fraction에 비해 최고 1,000배 이상 높았다. 즉 10,000 nMW 이상의 고분자 용존 유기물질은 $\beta$-glucosidase의 유도체로 작용하며, 저분자 용존 유기물질은 $\beta$-glucosidase 활성도를 높이지 못하는 것으로 확인되었다.

대청호에서 수화 발생시기인 2003년 7월에서 10월까지 분자생태학적 방법의 하나인 DGGE (denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis)를 이용하여 시간에 따른 세균군집구조의 변화를 연구하였다. 조사기간 동안 출현한 식물플랑크톤을 형태학적으로 분류한 결과 cyanobacteria, 규조류 및 녹조류가 발견되었고, 이 중 Microcystis, Chroococcus, Oscillatoria, Phormidium 속이 크게 우점하였다. 16S rDNA의 DGGE pronto 분석에 의하여 Microcystis flos-aquae와 Oscillatoria spp.가 우점하는 것으로 확인되었으며, Aphanizomenon flos-aquae는 8월 중순에 우점하는 것으로 확인되었다. DGGE profile을 토대로 cluster analysis를 적용하여 다양한 미생물 군집의 유사성을 비교한 결과, 9월 2일의 미생물 군집이 다른 시기의 시료와 확연히 다른 그룹으로 구분되었다. 결과적으로 분자 생물학적 방법은 형태적 분석방법과 유사한 결과를 보였으며, 일부 세균의 분포 및 변화, 미생물 군집의 유사성 등에 대한 추가적 정보를 제공하였다.

The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-encoded latent membrane protein 1 (LMPI) exhibits considerable sequence heterogeneity among EBV isolates. Seven distinct EBV strains have been defined based on sequence polymorphisms in the LMPI gene, which are designated China 1, China 2, China 3, Alaskan, Mediterranean, NC, and the B95-8 strains. In this study, we analyzed a 30-bp deletion and sequence variations in the carboxy-terminal region of the LMPl gene in 12 EBV isolates from spontaneous lym-phoblastoid cell lines derived from individuals with non-EBV associated cancers in Korea. Eleven of the 12 isolates showed a 30-bp deletion spanning LMPI amino acids 342 to 353, suggesting a high prevalence of the LMPI 30-bp deletion variant among EBV isolates in Korea. In addition, all 12 isolates had a 15-bp common deletion in the 33-bp repeat region and multiple base-pair changes relative to the prototype B95-8 EBV strain along with variations in the number of the 33-bp repeats. The bp changes at positions 168746, 168694, 168687, 168395, 168357, 168355, 168631, 168320, 168308, 168295, and 168225 were highly conserved among the isolates. Comparative analysis of sequence change patterns in the LMPI carboxy-terminal coding region identified nine 30-bp deletion variants as China 1, two deletion variants as a possible interstrain between the Alaskan and China 1 strains, and a single undeleted variant as a possible variant of the Alaskan strain. These results suggest the predominance of the China 1 EBV strain in the Korean population.

This study was carried out to determine the optimal storage conditions by examining the effects of the storage conditions on the quality of red pepper powder during storage in households. Red pepper powder was stored at room temperature ($20^{\circ}C$), refrigeration (2 and $-1^{\circ}C$) and frozen (-5 and $-20^{\circ}C$) for 3, 6, 9 and 12 months. The ASTA color value, capsanthin content and redness ($a^{\ast}$) of the red pepper powders stored at -5 and $-20^{\circ}C$ were not decreased significantly depending on the storage temperatures until 9 months. The pH of red pepper powder stored at $20^{\circ}C$ decreased significantly until 9 months and increased at 12 months. The microbiological quality of the red pepper powder stored at -5 and $-20^{\circ}C$ was more stable during long-term storage. In the sensory evaluation of red pepper powder stored under all conditions, the overall freshness, redness, hot flavor, moisture release, and edibility decreased with increasing storage period from the control to 12 months. Moisture release increased from 3 months to 12 months. Overall, red pepper should be stored at low temperatures (2, $-1^{\circ}C$) for up to 6 months, and frozen (${\geq} -5^{\circ}C$) for 6 to 9 months. The optimal temperature for long-term storage (${\geq}9$ months) was $-20^{\circ}C$.

Objectives : To estimate the shelf-life by long-term storage test of Pyungwi-san. Methods : Experiments were conducted to evaluate the stability such as the selected physicochemical, heavy metal, microbilogical experiment under an acceleration test and long-term storage test of Pyungwi-san in different storage under room temperature, refrigeration and freezing. Futhermore, HPLC analysis was performed for the determinations of glycyrrhizin in the Pyungwi-san on an Inertsil ODS-3 column(250 mm ${\times}$ 4.6 mm, 5 um) using solvent 35% acetonitrile include 0.05% phosphoric acid at 254 nm. The flow rate was 1.0 mL/min. Results : The significant change was not showed in pH, heavy metal, microbiological, identification test and quantitative analysis based on acceleration test and long-term storage test. Retention time of glycyrrhizin in HPLC chromatogram was about 16.065 min and calibration curve showed good linearity($R^2$ = 0.9999). The contents of glycyrrhizin in acceleration test and long-term storage test were 0.068~0.076 mg/mL and 0.066~0.077 mg/mL, respectively. Shelf-lifes of room temperature, refrigeration and freezing by long-term storage test were predicted 41, 24 and 34 months, respectively. Conclusions : The suggested shelf-life would be helpful on the storage and distribution of herbal medicine.

Herpes simplex virus type-1 (HSV-1)의 감염에 따른 세포내 유리 칼슘농도의 변화에 대한 실험을 수행한 결과, HSV-1이 Vero 세포에 감염한 후 4시간째에 세포내 칼슘농도가 최대로 감소한 것을 알았으며 이러한 세포내 유리 칼슘농도의 감소는 감염성 바이러스의 양에 따라 커지며, 유전자 발현 억제제의 처리나 바이러스의 불활성화에 의해 극복되었다. 따라서 바이러스의 유전자발현이 세포내 유리 칼슘농도의 감소에 중요한 역할을 한다는 것을 알 수 있다. 또한 Vero 세포에 바이러스를 감염시키고 미세소관 안정제인 taxol을 처리하여 4 시간째의 세포내 유리 칼슘농도의 감소가 극복된다는 사실로부터 바이러스이 유전자 물질의 이동에는 미세소관이 관여한다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이와 같은 실험 결과로부터 Vero 세포에서 HSV-1에 의해 유도되는 세포내 유리칼슘 농도의 감소는 HSV-1 증식과 밀접한 관계를 가진다고 생각된다.

원부재료에 부착된 미생물을 김치제조 전에 오존 및 방사선 조사를 실시하여 미생물을 감균시키고 위생화된 재료로 김치를 제조하였을 때의 미생물학적, 화학적 및 관능적 변화를 측정하였다. 대조군 맛김치의 미생물 변화는 총균수의 경우, 저장기간이 증가할수록 빠른 속도로 증가한 후 저장 10일 이후부터는 서서히 감소하였다. 그러나 오존 및 방사선 처리군의 경우에서는 대조군에 비하여 서서히 증가하는 경향이었다. 젖산균수의 경우에는 대조군은 오존 및 방사선 처리군에 비하여 다소 낮은 변화를 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 효모 및 곰팡이수의 변화는 대조군이 가장 높은 균수를 저장기간 내내 유지하였으나 오존 및 방사선 처리군은 대조군보다 낮은 균수를 보였으며 그 변화는 3 kGy와 5 kGy가 가장 적은 것으로 나타났다. pH 및 산도의 변화에서도 대조군은 빠른 속도로 변화되었으나 오존 및 방사선 처리군의 경우는 서서히 변화되었으며 오존 및 방사선 처리군 중에서는 3 kGy와 5 kGy 처리군이 가장 변화가 적었다. 저장기간에 따른 관능검사 결과는 발효가 진행됨에 따라 대조군은 빠른 품질변화를 보였지만 오존 및 방사선 처리군은 발효의 진행이 서서히 일어나 품질 유지기간을 연장시키는 것으로 나타났다.

To examine the effects of sequence variations near the transcriptional start site on the rate of formation of the open complexes at bacteriophage $\lambda P_{R}$ promoter, two mutant promoters were created by site-specific mutagenesis using synthetic oligonucleotides. Mutant I coatains changes at positions -3 and -4 from TT to CC, thus having a 6-bp long G/C stretch between -10 region and transciptional start site (+1). Mutant II has changes at positions -5 and -6 from GG to AA, thereby having a 9-bp long A/T stretch between positions -11 and -3. Selective filter binding assays were performed to measure the rate of formation of the open complexes between the wild-type or two mutant $P_{R}$ promoters on 664 bp fragments and E. coli RNA polymerase at two temperatures. At 37.deg.C, the wild-type and two mutants showed similar rates for the formation of open complex. The second order rate constant $k_{a}$ and $\tau _{int}$, as determined from the .tau.-plot analysis, were $(6.0\pm0.4)\times10^{6}M^{-1}sec^{-1}$ and $11\pm5$sec, respectively. At 18.deg.C, however, the wild-type and two mutant promoters showed differences in the kinetic parameters. k for the wild-type promoter was (2.2$\pm$0.1)\times 10^{6}M^{-1}sec^{-1}$ and $\tau _{int}$ was 76$\pm$sec. Mutant I and II exhibited differences mainly in the rate of isomerization ($\tau_{int,I}=91\pm$10 sec, int,II=34$\pm$ sec), whereas the second order rate constant $k_{a}$ was similar to the wild type value. This result implies that at $18^{\circ}C$, the isomerization rate is determined by both protein conformational change and DNA melting, which are separable kinetically according to the 3-step mechanism of Roe et al.(1984,1985), and that the base changes affected mainly the rate of DNA melting as predicted.lting as predicted.

The efficacy of air-polishing on subgingival debridement, as compared to scaling and root planning (SRP), was evaluated clinically and microbiologically. Fifteen patients diagnosed as chronic periodontitis, and having single-root tooth over 5 mm of pocket depth symmetrically in the left and right quadrant, were investigated. Subgingival debridement was performed by SRP and air-polishing. The results were evaluated and compared clinically and microbiologically. Probing pocket depth (PPD), bleeding on probing (BOP), relative attachment level (RAL) and change of gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) were assessed before treatment, and at 14 and 60 days after treatment. Microbial analysis was done pre-treatment, post-treatment, and at 14 and 60 days after treatment. Results of air polishing showed that post treatment, the PPD and BOP decreased, and attachment gain was observed. There was no clinical difference when compared to SRP. The volume of GCF decreased at 14 days, and increased again at 60 days. Compared to SRP, there was a statistical significance of the volume of GCF at 60 days in air-polishing. In the microbial analysis, high-risk bacteria that cause periodontal disease were remarkably reduced. They decreased immediately after treatment, but increased again with the passage of time. Thus, our results show that subgingival debridement by air-polishing was effective for decrease of pocket depth, attachment gain, decrease of GCF and inhibition of pathogens. Further studies are required to compare air-polishing and SRP, considering factors such as degree of pocket depth and calculus existence.

We isolated a 10 kb Bam HI fragment originated from the chromosome of a $H_2O$$^2$-resistant mutant strain of Streptomyces coelicolor, which confer $H_2O$$^2$-resistance to S. lividance upon transformation. Among various subclones ot 10kb Bam HI fragment tested for their $H_2O$$^2$-resistant phenotype in S. lividans, a subclone containing 5.2 kb Bam HI-BglII fragment was found to be responsible for $H_2O$$^2$-resistance. The plasmid containing this 5.2 kb fragment was then transformed into S. coellicolor A3(2) at early and tested for their phenotype of $H_2O$$^2$-resistance and the change in various enzymes whose activity can be stained in the gel. We found out that the 5.2 kb insert DNA conferred $H_2O$$^2$-resisstance in S. coelicolor A3(2) at early phase of cell growth. The presence of this DNA also resulted in higher level of peroxidase compared with the wild type cell containing parental vector (pIJ702) only. Esterase activity was also higher in this clone. However, alcohol dehydrogenase activity decreased compared with the wild type. These results suggest that the presence of a gene in 5.2 kb BamHI-BglII DNA fragment causes multiple changes in S. coelicolor related to its response against hydrogen peroxide. The result also implies that not only peroxidase but also esterase may function in the defencse meahsnism agianst $H_2O$$^2$-.
