A stereoselective-hydrolysing enzyme was cloned from Pseudomonas fluorescens KCTC1767 which had high enantiomeric activity toward (S)-ketoprofen ethyl ester. Analyses of typical properties resulted in low thermostability and substrate specificity. A round error-prone PCR and StEP(STaggered Extension Process) was adopted to evolute this character. As a result, the best clone 6-52 was selected which was represented to increased thermostability(40 fold) compared to wild type enzyme in $50^{\circ}C$. Additionally, specific activity toward (S)-ketoprofen ethyl ester and p-nitrophenyl derivatives improved 3 fold and 1.5 fold, respectively. DNA sequence analyses was showed some exchanged amino acid residue that was L120p, 1208v, T249A, D287H and T357A. Which the 120th's leucine substituted for proline was presumed structurally important residue concerning with catalytic activity.

Effects of the inoculum size of testing organism and pH of the plate and the concentration of agar were investigated for the selection of high kasugamycin producing mutants of Streptomyces kasugaensis ATCC 15114. For the detection of high kasugamycin-producing mutants, both concentrations of agar and test organism were optimized at the concentrations of 2% and 0.35 (A$_{550}$), respectively. The pH 7 was optimum for both growing the testing organism, Pseudomonas fluorescens IFO 12180, and for obtaining more promising mutant strains of S. kasugaensis. Under these conditions, mutants had been isolated which, tested later in liquid cultures, gave higher kasugamycin yields than that of the parent strain.

An ABC transporter apparatus of the Gram-negative bacterial type I secretion pathway can be used as a secretory protein expression system in Escherichia coli. Four types of coexpression systems for the Pseudomonas fluorescens lipase gene, tliA, and its cognate ABC transporter gene cluster, tliDEF, were constructed. When the relative expression levels were changed by adding different concentrations of IPTG, the secretion (16.9 U/ml of culture) of TliA in E. coli [pTliDEFA-223+pACYC184] was significantly higher than E. coli [pKK223-3+pTliDEFA-184] secreting the lowest level of TliA (5.2 U/ml of culture). Maximal accumulation of the lipase secreted occurred in the mid-exponential phase, implying that the efficient protein secretion via an ABC transporter was restricted only to actively growing cells. Finally, the secretion level of TliA in E. coli [pTliDEFA-223+pACYC184] was increased to 26.4 U/ml by inducing gene expression at the culture initiation time. These results indicate that a significant increase in the ABC transporter-dependent protein secretion can be achieved by simply controlling the relative expression levels between the ABC transporter and its passenger protein, even in the recombinant E. coli cells.

본연구는 대관령 고령지 토양의 토양미생물상을 조사한 것으로 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 시험예정지토양의 토양미생물상을 비교할 때 작물을 재배한 토양이 나지에 비하여, 세균, 방선균, 사상균등의 일반미생물수와 병원성세균인 Erwinia속의 미생물 공히 균수가 현저히 많은 것으로 나타났으며 표층토양과 심층토양의 미생물상을 보면 세균, 방선균, 사상균, Pseudomonas spp., Erwinia sp.등 모든 균종에서 표층토양에 현저히 많은 것으로 나타났다. 2. 시험예정지 토양의 Pseudomonas fluorescens 및 P. putida균수를 보면 전체적으로 심토 보다는 표토에서 균수가 많은 것은 다른 일반 미생물의 경우와 같으나 배추재배 토양에 있어서 표토와 심토의 균수의 차이가 줄어드는 경향이 나타났다. 그러나 감자재배토양에서는 표토와 심토의 균수의 차이가 더욱 커지는 경향을 보였다. 또한 나지토양에 있어서는 P. fluorescens는 표토에서 균수가 현저히 많았으나, P. putida는 표토와 심토의 균수차이가 크지 않았다. 3. 옥수수를 재배하는 인근 농가포장의 미생물상을 보면 배추와 감자를 재배하는 시험예정 지토양에 비하여 모든 균수에서 현저히 적은 것으로 나타나 작물의 종류에 따라서도 균수의 차이가 관찰되었다. 4. 산림토양의 Pseudomonas 속의 균수는 ${\times}10^4$ 범위에 있어서 초지토양이나 옥수수재배 토양보다는 균수가 적은 경향을 보였다. 5. 초지토양의 층위별 P. fluorescens 및 P. putida는 상층토양 (0-15cm)보다 중층토양(15-30cm)에서 균수가 약간 증가하는 경향이었으나 하층토양(30cm이하)에서는 급격히 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 경향은 초지토양의 뿌리의 분포와 밀접한 관계가 있는 것으로 생각된다. 6. 옥수수재배토양에서의 Pseudomonas속 균수의 범위는 $10-49{\times}10^4$(CFU/건토g)였으며 이것은 대체로 작물을 재배하지 않은 토양에 비해서는 균수가 많은 경향이었다. 7. 토양병원성세균의 하나로 배추나 감자의 무름병의 원인균과 동일한 속(屬)에 속하는 Erwinia속 균수의 범위는 $0-23{\times}10^3$(CFU/토양g)로서 감자재배토양에서는 다른 토양에 비하여 균수가 많은 것으로 나타났고 그 밖의 토양에서는 뚜렷한 차이를 보이지 않았다.

A cell aggregation factor produced by Aspergillus sp. LAM 94-142 was purified and partially characterized. The factor was purified about 15 folds from culture broth by IRA 420 and IRC 120 treatment, 1% NaCl added acetone precipitation, and Sepharose 4B column chromatography with overall yield of 48%. It was heteropolysaccharide consisted of mannose, arabinose, and glucose with a molar ratio, 31:17:2, and its molecular weight was estimated to be about 900,000 daltons by Sepharodse 4B gel filtration method. The optimum pH and temperature was 8 and 40$\circ$C, respectively. The factor was stable in pH range of 3-9 and at 100$\circ$C for 90 min. The cell aggregation activity of the factor was inhibited by the addition of Hg$^{2+}$, Fe$^{2+}$, Cu$^{2+}$, and some polypeptides such as milk casein or hemoglobin. The factor aggregated Bacillus subtilis, B. macerans, B. turingiensis, E. coli, Peudomonas aeruginosa, P. fluorescens, P. malophilia, and weakly aggregated Staphylococcus sp., Sarcina lutea, P. putida and Cryptococcus neoformnans, but it didn't aggregate various strains of Candida sp. and Saccharomyces sp.

We have constructed a promoter-probe vector pKU20 using pKT230, a derivative of broad-host-range plsmid RSF1010, as a base. The pKU20 contains structural gene for aminoglycoside phos-photransferase (aph), without promoter, and a multiple cloning site upstream the aph. Using this vector, a 412base pairs (bp) PstI fragment showing strong promoter activity both in Escherichia coli LE392 and Pseudomonas putida KCTC1644 has been cloned from Pseudomonas fluorescens chromosomal DNA on the basis of streptomycin resistance. The nucleotide sequence of the 412 bp fragment has been determined and the putative - 35 and -10 region was observed. Insecticidal protein gene of Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki HD-73 inserted on downstream of the promoterlike DNA fragment was efficiently expressed in E. coli and P. putida. The toxin protein was efficiently synthesized in an insoluble form in both strains.

A psychrotrophic bacterial strain, Pseudomonas fluorescens BM07, synthesized unsaturated fatty acids (UFA) from fructose in response to lowering of growth temperature, and incorporated them into both polyhydroxyalkanoic acid (PHA) and membrane lipid. The blocking of PHA synthesis by adding 5 mM 2-bromooctanoic acid to the growth medium, containing 70 mM fructose, was found to be a useful means to profile the composition of membrane lipid by gas chromatography. As the growth temperature changed from 35 to $50^{\circ}C$, the total content of two UFA, 3-hydroxy-cis-5­dodecenoic acid ($C_{12:1}$) and 3-hydroxy-cis-7-tetradecenoic acid ($C_{14:1}$), in PHA increased from 31 to 44 $mol\%$. The growth at lower temperatures also led to an increase in the level of two major UFA, palmitoleic acid (C16:1 cis9) and cis-vaccenic acid (C18:1 cis11), in membrane lipid. A fraction of these membrane-lipid UFA was converted to their corresponding cyclopropane fatty acids (CFA). The CFA conversion was a function of culture time, exhibiting biphasic increase before and after entering the stationary phase. However, pH changes in growth media had no effect on the CFA conversion, which is contrary to the case of E. coli reported. The cells grown at $30^{\circ}C$ responded to a cold shock (lowering the medium temperature down to $10^{\circ}C$) by increasing the level of C16:1 cis9 and C 18: I cis II up to that of $10^{\circ}C$-grown control cells and concomitantly decreasing the relative level of cis-9,10­methylenehexadecanoic acid (the CFA converted from C16:1 cis9) from 14 to 8 $mol\%$, whereas the 10-grown cells exhibited little change in the lipid composition when exposed to a warmer environment of $30^{\circ}C$ for 12 h. Based on this one- way response, we suggest that this psychrotrophic strain responds more efficiently and sensitively to a cold shock than to a hot shock. It is also suggested that BM07 strain is a good producer of two unsaturated 3-hydroxyacids, $C_{12:1}\;and\;C_{141:1}$.

The genetic diversity of plant growth-promoting rhizobacterial (PGPR) fluorescent pseudomonads associated with the sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.) rhizosphere was analyzed. Selected isolates were screened for plant growthpromoting properties including production of indole acetic acid, phosphate solubilization, denitrification ability, and production of antifungal metabolites. Furthermore, 16S rDNA sequence analysis was performed to identify and differentiate these isolates. Based on 16S rDNA sequence similarity, the isolates were designated as Pseudomonas plecoglossicida, P. fluorescens, P. libaniensis, and P. aeruginosa. Differentiation of isolates belonging to the same group was achieved through different genomic DNA fingerprinting techniques, including randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD), amplified ribosomal DNA restriction analysis (ARDRA), repetitive extragenic palindromic (REP), enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus (ERIC), and bacterial repetitive BOX elements (BOX) analyses. The genetic diversity observed among the isolates and rep-PCR-generated fingerprinting patterns revealed that PGPR fluorescent pseudomonads are associated with the rhizosphere of sugarcane and that P. plecoglossicida is a dominant species. The knowledge obtained herein regarding the genetic and functional diversity of fluorescent pseudomonads associated with the sugarcane rhizosphere is useful for understanding their ecological role and potential utilization in sustainable agriculture.
