A relatively high homology between Escherichia coli prolidase and Alteromonas organophosphorous acid anhydrolase suggests that E. coli prolidase may have an activity to d egrade toxic organophosphorous compounds. To confirm this suggestion, we cloned and expressed a prolidase gene (pepQ) of E. coliBL2l. The recombinant E. coli prolidase that consisted of 443 amino acid residues exhibited activity and stereochemical selectivity against organopho sphorous compounds, although its activity was two to three orders of magnitude less than that of the other organophosphorous acid hydrolase isolated from Pseudomonas diminuta.

2006년 5월부터 9월까지 아산만의 유기인계 농약의 분포특성에 대해 조사하였다, 조사기간 중 표층수와 부유입자 시료에서 28개의 유기인계 농약이 검출되었다. 조사해역의 표층수에서 가장 많이 존재하는 유기인계 농약은 IBP와 DDVP로 각각 N.D.${\sim}$014.4, 3.2${\sim}$696.3 ng/L의 농도로 측정되었다. 유기인계 농약은 아산만에서 7월과 8월에 가장 높은 농도분포를 보였으며, 이는 농약의 사용 및 강수와 관계가 있었다. 조사 해역에서 유기인계 농약은 상류에서 하류로 갈수록 농도가 뚜렷이 감소하여 육상기원 잔류농약이 연안의 해양환경내로 유입된 후 분해 희석됨을 보여주었다. 조사기간 중의 아산만 해역의 유기인계 농약의 분포는 다른 지역에서 조사된 것 보다 높은 농도를 보였다, 검출된 유기인계 농약의 농도는 우리나라 해역의 수질기준 중 유기인계 농약의 잔류 허용치를 넘지 않았다. 분석된 유기인계 농약 중 DDVP, IBP, Diazinon, Phorate, Azinphos ethyl, Chlorfenvinfos는 부유입자에 흡착하는 성질이 다른 농약보다 큰 것으로 나타났고 흡착계수 $(K_d)$는 Log $K_ow$와 밀접한 관계가 있었다.

To improve the erythritol productivity of Penicillium sp. KJ81, mutants were obtained using UV irradiation and NTG treatment Among these mutants, Penicillium sp. KJ-UV29 revealed no morphological changes, yet was superior to the wild strain in the following three points: (1) Penicillium sp. KJ-UV29 produced more erythritol than the wild strain under the same conditions, (2) no foam was produced during cultivation, unlike the wild strain, and (3) the mutant produced a Significantly lower amount of glycerol. Penirillium sp. KJ-UV29 produced as much as 15.1 g/L of erythritol, whereas the wild-type Penirillium sp. KJ81 only produced 11.7 g/L. Penicillium sp. KJ-UV29 only generated 6.1 g/L of glycerol, compared to 19.4 g/L produced by the wild strain. When investigating the optimal culture conditions for erythritol production by the mutant strain Penicillium sp. KJ-UV89, sucrose was identified as the most effective carbon source, and the mutant was even able to produce erythritol in a 70% sucrose-containing medium, although a 30% sucrose medium exhibited the highest productivity. The production of erythritol by Penirillium sp. KJ-UV29 was also significantly increased by the addition of ammonium carbonate, potassium nitrate, and sodium nitrate. Accordingly, under optimal conditions, Penicillium sp. KJ-UV29 produced 45.2 g/L of erythritol in a medium containing 30% sucrose, 0.5% yeast extract, 0.5% (NH$_4$)$_2$C$_2$O$_4$, 0.1% KNO$_3$, 0.1% NaNO$_3$, and 0.01% FeSO$_4$ with 1 vvm aeration and 200 rpm agitation at 37$^{\circ}C$ for 7 days in a 5-L jar fermentor.
