Through measured the culture density, the contents of chlorophyll a. polysaccharide and protein in the cells, the inhibitory effect of the inhibitor on the growth of cells was investigated. The results showed that the inhibitor obviously inhibited the cell growth of three microalgae.

Seaweed has been consumed especially in the Asia since centuries ago as a vegetable (Matsukawa, 1997; Burtin, 2000; Raghavendran 2003). Seaweed has many valuable nutrients i.e. as a mineral resources, vitamin, and non-caloric fiber, also has potential antioxidant resources. Such of nutrition consists in the Seaweed is Chlorophyll, Carotene, Fucoxantine, Luteen and Zeaxantine, Polysaccharide and Diet Fiber, Mineral, Protein and Amino Acid, Fat and Fatty Acid, Vitamin, Polifenol, also Methanol. The benefits of some nutrition content on seaweed are as an antioxidant, slimmer agent, anti-diabetes, healthy for heart, eyes health, Iodium source, and some kind of vitamins functions. As a conclusion, developing research about seaweed we believe it would be a part of medicine material and food processing, also cosmetic industrial.

The carpophores of three Korean mushrooms, Coriolus versicolor, Pleurotus ostreatus and Lentinus edodes were respectively extracted with hot water and the extracts were dialyzed through Visking tube. They were found to exert an antitumor activity against sarcoma-180 implanted in mice. Especially, the inhibition ratio of the extract of Coriolus versicolor (100 mg/ Kg.i.p) was almost 100% . But all the extracts did not affect the growth of leukemia L517Y cells in vitro. Therefore these facts indicate that the extracts appear to stimulate cell-mediated immunity.

담자균류인 말징버섯 Calvatia craniformis의 성분을 연구하기 위하여 그 균사체를 액내 배양하여 열수 추출한 후 ethanol로 침전시켜 단백 결합 다당체를 분리하였다. 이 성분을 DEAE-cellulose ion exchange, Sepharose CL-4B gel filtration 그리고 Concanavalin A Sepharose 4B affinity chromatography를 실시하여 총 6가지 분획(Fr. A~F)으로 정제하였다. 이들을 각각 10또는 20mg/kg/day의 용량으로 마우스의 복강에 투여하였을때, 육종 180 고형암에 디하여 41.7~74.1%의 종양억제율을 나타내었고 $\beta$-형 다당체인 Fr. F가 종양 억제율이 가장 높았다. 화학 분석에 의해, 이 성분은 4기의 단당 mannose, xylose, galactose, glucose로 구성된 87.2% polysaccharide와 1.9%의 Protein 및 1.3%의 hexosamine 함유하고 있고 이 성분의 분자량은 5.5 $\times$ $10^4$ dalton이었다. 이 성분을 calvatan이라 명명 하였다.

To investigate antitumor components of Korean higher fungi, the carpophores of Ganoderma lucidum (Fr.)Karst. were collected at Gal-mae-ri in Gyeong-gi Province and extracted with 0.1N sodium hydroxide solution. The extract was purified by dialyzing through Visking tube and a dark brownish power was obtained. The antitumor activity of the fraction was tested against sarcoma 180 implanted in mice. The tumor inhibition ratio of the fraction against the tumor was 87.6% in doses of 50 mg/kg/day for the period of ten days. The tumor in five of 15 mice was completely regressed. The antitumor fraction was chemically analyzed and found to be a complex of polysaccharide and protein, from which four monosaccharides and eighteen amino acids were identified.

정상 동물군의 GOT값 및 GPT 값이 각각 137.8$\pm$23.4 및 67.4$\pm$10.0 이었고 acetaminophen 투여군은 418.6$\pm$69.1 및 447.4$\pm$7.7로 증가하였으나 G009 투여군은 그 증가가 현저히 억제되었다. 즉 G009 10mg/kg 투여군은 GOT 및 GPT 값이 192.6$\pm$19.2 및 144.8$\pm$28.7에 그쳐 각각 GOT 및 GPT 값의 상승이 80.5% 및 79.6% 억제되었고 20mg/kg 투여군은 90.8% 및 86.6% 억제되었다. 그러나 Licovek 은 50mg/kg의 투여군에서 이와 유사한 효과가 관찰되었다. 또한 간 절편의 조직학적 관찰 결과 acetaminophen 투여 대조군이 간세포 괴사등 심한 조직 괴사를 보인 반면 G009 10mg/kg 및 20mg/kg 농도에서는 간장 손상이 매우 경미함을 확인할 수 있었다.

Fruiting bodies of Phellinus linteus were extracted by hot water and alkali methods. Sugar contents of PL-H (hot water extract) and PL-A (alkali water extract) were 81.1%, 37.4% and protein contents were 6.2%, 21.8%, respectively. Amino acid pattern showed that two extracts contained large amount of aspartic acid and alanine. Two extracts showed characteristic IR absorption pattern for glycosidic bond at $890\;cm^{-1}$. PL-H was divided two fractions by gel filtration chromatography and the molecular weights of each fraction were estimated to be about 10 kD and 225 kD, respectively and also PL-A was estimated 10 kD. Two extracts showed strong antitumor, immunomodulating and antioxidant activities, and were compared with commercialized glycopeptide anticancer drugs.

To find antitumor components with low toxicity in natural products of Korean Basidiomycete, the carpophores of Flammulina velutipes (Fr.) Sing. were extracted with hot water for eight hours. The extract was purified by dialyzing through Visking tube and a protein-bound polysaccharide fraction was obtained as pale brownish amorphous powder after it was freeze-dried. The fraction was examined for antitumor activity against sarcoma 180 implanted subcutaneously in the left groins of I.C.R. mice. The inhibition ratio of this fraction of against the tumor was 62.3% at the dose of 10 mg/kg/day for the period of ten days. The tumors in three of the ten treated mice were completely regressed.

The complex enzyme pool secreted by the phytopathogenic fungus Fusarium graminearum in response to glucose or hop cell wall material as sole carbon sources was analyzed. The biochemical characterization of the enzymes present in the supernatant of fungal cultures in the glucose medium revealed only 5 different glycosyl hydrolase activities; by contrast, when analyzing cultures in the cell wall medium, 17 different activities were detected. This dramatic increase reflects the adaptation of the fungus by the synthesis of enzymes targeting all layers of the cell wall. When the enzymes secreted in the presence of plant cell wall were used to hydrolyze pretreated crude plant material, high levels of monosaccharides were measured with yields approaching 50% of total sugars released by an acid hydrolysis process. This report is the first biochemical characterization of numerous cellulases, hemicellulases, and pectinases secreted by F. graminearum and demonstrates the usefulness of the described protein cocktail for efficient enzymatic degradation of plant cell wall.

The synthesis of a novel superabsorbent hydrogel with natural hybrid backbone via graft copolymerization of acrylamide (AAm) onto kappa-carrageenan (kC, as a polysaccharide) and gelatin (as a protein) under classic thermal conditions is described. The Taguchi method as a strong experimental design tool was used for synthesis optimization. A series of hydrogels were synthesized by proposed conditions of Qualitek-4 Software. Considering the results of 9 trials according to analysis of variance (ANOVA), optimum conditions were proposed. The swelling behavior of optimum hydrogel was measured in various solutions with pH values ranging from 1 to 13. In addition, swelling kinetics, swelling in various organic solvents, various salt solutions and On–Off switching behavior were investigated. The hydrogel formation was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and thermogravimetrical analysis (TGA). Surface morphology of the synthesized hydrogels was assessed by scanning electron microscope (SEM).
