밀기울 발효에서 효소회수의 모델로 Aspergillus niger를 고체상태로 발효시켜 조사하였다. 발효시킨 밀기울에서 증류수로 효소추출 효율은 초산 완충액, 구연산 완충액, 구연산-인산 완충액 및 5% 메탄올 처리보다 높았다. 따라서, 추출 용매로 증류수를 이용하여 최적 조건을 상세히 검토하였다. 최적 조건은 고체와 액체 용매를 1:5의 비율로 증류수로서 세 번 세척하였을 때에 최대 회수율을 0.025 U/g으로 확보하였다.

A local isolate of Aspergillus niger was cultivated under optimal growth conditions on wheat bran in solid state fermentation. Filter paperase from fermented bran was separately extracted with different solvents to test the recovery of the enzyme. Among solvents tested, distilled water served as the best leachate, thus the conditions were further optimized with distilled water. After two washes of fermented bran with distilled water for 1.5 h each under stationary conditions at 1 g wheat bran: 5 mL distilled water, the maximum recovery of 13.5 $Ug^{-1}$ of wheat bran was obtained.

The solid waste of sago industry using cassava was fermented by Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus terreus and Rhizopus stolonifer in solid state fermentation. Cassava waste contained 52 per cent starch and 2.9 per cent protein by dry weight. The amylase activity was maintained at a high level and the highest amylase activity was observed on the $8^{th}$ day in R. stolonifer mediated fermentation. R. stolonifer was more efficient than Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus terreus in bioconverting cassava waste into fungal protein (90.24 mg/g) by saccharifying 70% starch and releasing 44.5% reducing sugars in eight days of solid state fermentation.

Aspergillus niger가 액체발효(SF) 와 고체발효의 시험 규모 조건에서의 셀루로오스계 효소의 생산을 비교하였다. 액체배지는 0.5% 셀루로오스가 함유된 Czapek Dox를 사용하였고, 고체 지지체로 사용한 쌀겨는 셀루로오스로 적시고 SSF 발효를 위하여 Czapek Dox 배지를 첨가하였다. CMCase, 여지 paperase 그리고 ${\beta}$-Glucosidase 의 생산을 경시적으로 측정하였다. SSF 배양에서의 3일간의 효소 생산량은 SF 에서의 7일간 배양과 같았다. 따라서 SSF 조건이 SF 배양 조건보다 많은 효소를 생산함을 알 수 있었다. SSF 조건에서 FPase, CMCase 및 ${\beta}$-glucosidase의 최대 활성은 0.40, 0.62 및 0.013 U/ml 였으나, SF 조건에서는 0.13, 0.06 및 0.0013 U/ml의 활성을 나타내었다. 결론적으로 Aspergillus niger에 의해 생산되는 셀루로오스계 효소의 생산을 위해서는 SSF 발효 조건의 선택이 유리하다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

A biochemical characterization of the tannases from Paecilomyces variotii (produced at Unicamp), Aspergillus niger (purchased from Industrial Kerry Bio-Science) and A. niger cnpat 001 (purchased from Embrapa Agroindustrial Tropical-Brazil) was carried out. P variotii is a new strain obtained from the screening of 500 fungi that were tested for their production of tannase. The biochemical properties of this new tannase from P variotii were determined and compared with those of two other tannase preparations. The tannase produced from P. variotii showed optimum activity at pH 6.5. The functional temperature range of the tannases was from $20-70^{\circ}C$, with optima at $70^{\circ}C$ for P. variotii and at $60^{\circ}C$ for the commercially obtained tannase, whereas A. niger cnpat 001 showed optimum activity at $40^{\circ}C$. The effects of 1 mM preparations of cations and anions, inhibitors, surfactants, and chelators on the tannase activity from P. variotii were also studied.

본 실험에서는 농부산물인 밀짚을 고체배지로 사용하여 Aspergillus niger NRRL 567에서 구연산 생산 시, 발효조건과 첨가제가 구연산 생산에 미치는 영향을 단일변수(one-factor-at-a-time) 최적화를 이용하여 주요 인자의 순차적 최적화를 수행하였다. 발효 72시간에서 온도, 수분함량, 입자크기, pH와 첨가제 농도를 최적화했을 때, 각각 $30^{\circ}C$, 70%, 0.5~1.0 mm, pH 5.5와 4% 메탄올 첨가조건에서 최대 구연산 생산인 206.0 g/kg 건조중량 (DM)을 확인할 수 있었다. 이는 최적화 이전 구연산 최고 생산인 74.5 g/kg DM 대비 177% 증가한 결과이다. 최적화 실험에서 도출된 조건을 밀짚, 옥수수대와 피트모스(peat moss)에 적용하여 고체발효를 수행하였을 때, 발효 120시간에서 각각 231.8, 213.8, 240.2 g/kg DM 구연산 생산을 확보하였다. 본 실험 결과는 밀짚과 옥수수대 등의 목질계 농부산물을 이용한 구연산 생산 시, 고체발효법이 기존의 액체발효법의 대체가 가능함을 시사하였다.

본 연구에서는 xylanase, mannanase를 생산하는 미생물균주를 분리하기 위해 1차로 토양 및 낙엽 등에서 곰팡이 균주를 약 50여주 분리하였으며, 1차 선발된 균주로부터 xylanase, mannanase를 생산하는 미생물 분리를 위해 xylanase 생성균주 선별배지, mannanase 생성균주 선별배지에 single colony를 접종한 후 clear zone이 생기는 15종의 균주를 2차 선발하였다. 2차 선발된 균주를 개별적으로 배양하여, DNS 방법을 활용하여 xylanase, mannanase 효소활성을 측정하여 6종의 균주를 선발하였다. 선별된 균주는 액상배양에서 생산한 xylanase, mannanase 효소활성이 각각 0.9~1.6 unit/mL, 0.2~0.4 unit/mL 범위로 나타났다. 이 중 결과가 좋은 3종을 선정하여 고상배양으로 배양한 균주의 xylanase, mannanase 효소활성은 각각 103.7~220.0 unit/g, 20.1~40.3 unit/g으로 분석되었다. 선별된 3종의 균주중 xylanase, mannanase 효소활성이 각각 197.3 unit/g, 39.9 unit/g으로 가장 높은 E-3 균주를 최종적으로 선발하였다. 최종으로 분리한 E-3 균주는 형태학적 특징과 DNA 염기서열을 비교한 결과 Aspergillus niger와 99% 일치하였다.

To improve the expression efficiency of recombinant endo-$\beta$-1,4-glucanase in P. pastoris, the endo-$\beta$-1,4-glucanase (egI) gene from Aspergillus niger was synthesized using optimized codons. Fourteen pairs of oligonucleotides with 15 bp overlap were designed and the full-length syn-egI gene was generated by two-step PCR-based DNA synthesis. In the synthesized endo-$\beta$-1,4-glucanase gene syn-egI, 193 nucleotides were changed, and the G+C content was decreased from 54% to 44.2%. The syn-egI gene was inserted into pPIC9K and transformed into P. pastoris GS115 by electroporation. The enzyme activity of recombinant P. pastoris stain 2-7# reached 20.3 U/ml with 1% barley $\beta$-glucan and 3.3 U/ml with 1% carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) as substrates in shake flasks versus 1,270.3 U/ml and 220.7 U/ml for the same substrates in 50-1 fermentors. The molecular mass of the recombinant protein was approximately 40 kDa as determined by SDS-PAGE analysis, the optimal temperature for recombinant enzyme activity was $70^{\circ}C$, and the optimal pH was 5.0 when CMC was used as the substrate.

The global evolution of antibiotic resistance has threatened the efficacy of available treatment options with ravaging impacts observed in developing countries. As a result, investigations into the prevalence of antibiotic resistance and the role of plasmids are crucial. In this study, we investigated the presence and distribution of bla_TEM and gyrA genes, plasmid profiles, and the antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of Salmonella strains isolated from raw meat and stool sources across Niger State, Nigeria. Ninety-eight samples, comprising 72 raw meat and 26 stool samples, were screened for Salmonella spp. The antimicrobial susceptibility of Salmonella isolates to 10 commonly used antimicrobial agents was determined using the KirbyBauer disc diffusion method. Isolates were further analyzed for plasmids, in addition to PCR amplification of beta-lactamase (bla_TEM) and gyrA genes. A total of 31 Salmonella spp. were isolated, with 22 from raw meat (70.97%) and 9 from stool (29.03%). Salmonella spp. with multiple resistance patterns to ceftazidime, cefuroxime, ceftriaxone, erythromycin, ampicillin, cloxacillin, and gentamicin were detected. Ofloxacin and ciprofloxacin were found to be the most effective among the antibiotics tested, with 67.7% and 93.5% susceptible isolates, respectively. Nine (29.03%) isolates harbored plasmids with molecular sizes ranging between 6557 bp and 23137 bp. PCR amplification of gyrA was detected in 1 (3.23%) of the 31 isolates while 28 isolates (90.32%) were positive for bla_TEM. This study shows the incidence of antibiotic resistance in Salmonella isolates and the possible role of plasmids; it also highlights the prevalence of ampicillin resistance in this local population.
