Algicidal bacterium was isolated from sea water during the declining period of Cochlodinium polykrikoides blooms and this bacterium had a significant algicidal activity against C. polykrikoides. In this study, algicidal bacterium was identified on the basis of biochemical and chemotaxonomic characteristics, and analysis of 16S rDNA sequences. The algicidal bacterium showed 98.6% homology with Micrococcus luteus ATCC $381^T$. Therefore, this bacterium was designated Micrococcus luteus SY-13. The optimal culture conditions of the algicidal bacterium was $25^{\circ}C$, initial pH 8.0, and 3.0% NaCl concentration. M. luteus SY-13 is assumed to produce secondary metabolites which have algicidal activity. When 10% culture filtrate of this strain was applied to C. polykrikoides ($1.0\;{\times}\;10^4\;cells/ml$) cultures, over 98% of C, polykrikoides cells were destroyed within 6 hours. The culture filtrate of M. luteus SY-13 exhibited similar algicidal activity after heat-treatment at $121^{\circ}C$ for 15 min. While algicidal activity remained in filtrates with pH adjusted to 8.0, loss of algicidal activity occurred when the pHs of filtrates were adjusted to over 9.0 or heat-treated at $121{\times}180^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour. M. luteus SY-13 showed significant algicidal activities against C. polykrikoides (98.9%) and a wide algicidal range against various harmful algal bloom (HAB) species. However, there was no algicidal effect on diatom and marine livefood organisms except Isocrysis galbana. These results suggest that M. luteus SY-13 could be a candidate for use in the control of HABs.

For the production of trehalose, microorganisms capable of producing trehalose extracellularly were screened from the stock cultures in our laboratory. among them, Micrococcus luteus IFO 12708 showed the highest productivity of trehalose. For the increase of productivity, the mutant strai Hs-208 having higher trehalose production was selected with NTG(N-methyl-N'-nitrosoguanidine) mutagenesis, which led to the decrease of the specific activity of trehalose phosphorylase(3.2-fold) as compared to the wild strain. The optimum condition for the trehalose production was established as follows: 20g/l of glucose and 6g/l of tryptone were used as a sole carbon source and nitrogen source, respectively, and cultivations were carried out at 3$0^{\circ}C$ and pH 6.0. After 20hrs cultivation, addition of 20unit/ml penicillin G led to the higher conversion yield of trehalose. Under the optimum condition, 6.547g/l trehalose was produced with conversion yield of 32.7%.

Purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP) was purified in Micrococcus luteus (M. luteus) using streptomycin sulfate and amomonium sulfate fractionation, three times by a Sephadex G-100 gel filtration and a DEAE-Sephadex A-50 ion exchange chromatography. The enzyme was purified 72 folds with a 11% recovery and showed a single band in a nondenaturing gel electrophoresis. The M. W. of PNP turned out to be 1.35 * 10$^{5}$ delton in G-150 gel filtration chromatography. The stability of the enzyme was increased by treatment with both substrates, MgCI$_{2}$ or CaCI$_{2}$, but not significantly kcal/mol. M. luteus PNP catalyzed the phosphorolysis of inosine, deoxyinosine, guanosine and deoxyguanosine with the Km value of 1.5 * 10$^{-3}$ M, 3.0 * 10$^{-3}$ M, 5.0 * 10$^{-4}$ M, respectively. The enzyme was reacted with adenosine, 1-methylnosine and 1-methylguanosine as substrates, which were shown to be poor substrates for mammalian enzyme.

Kinetic studies were done to elucidate the reaction mechanism of purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP) in Micrococcus Luteus. PNP catalyzes the reversible phosphorolysis of ribonucleosides to their respective base. The effect of alternative competing substrates suggested that a single enzyme was involved in binding to the active site for all purine nucleosides, inosine, deoxyiosine, guanosine, deoxyguanosine, adenosine and deoxyadenosine. Affinity studies showed that pentose moiety reduced the binding capacity and methylation of ring N-1 of inosine and guanosine had little effect on binding to bacterial enzyme, whereas these compounds did not bind to the mammalian enzymes. The initial velocity and product inhibition studies demonstrated that the predominant mechanism of reaction was an ordered bi, bi reaction. The nucleoside bound to the enzyme first, followed by phosphate. Ribose 1-phosphate was the first product to leave, followed by base.

Infection structures were observed at the penetration sites on the leaves of cucumber plants inoculated with Colletotrichum orbiculare using a fluorescence microscope. The cucumber plants were previously drenched with suspension of bacterial strains Pseudomonas putida or Micrococcus luteus. The plants pre-inoculated with both bacterial strains were resistant against anthracnose after inoculation with C. orbiculare. To investigate the resistance mechanism by both bacterial strains, the surface of infected leaves was observed at the different time after challenge inoculation. At 3 days after inoculation there were no differences in the germination and appressorium formation of conidia of C. orbiculare as well as in the callose formation of the plants between both bacteria pre-inoculated and non-treated. At 5 days, the germination and appressorium formation of the fungal conidia were, however, significantly decreased on the leaves of plants pre-inoculated with M. luteus at the concentration with $1.0{\times}10^7\;cfu/ml$. Furthermore, callose formation of plants cells at the penetration sites was apparently increased. In contrast, there were no defense reactions of the plants at the concentration with $1.0{\times}10^6\;cfu/ml$ of M. luteus. Similarly, inoculation P. putida caused no plant resistance at the low concentration, whereas increase of callose formation was observed at the higher concentration. The results of this study suggest that the resistant mechanisms might be differently expressed by the concentration of pre-treatment with bacterial suspension.
