현재 대두근류군 접종제로서 이용되고 있는 Bradyrhizobium japonicum의 토양중에서 그 추이를 밝히고자 항생제 내성균주를 조제하여 그들의 특성을 모균주와 비교하고 아울러 토양에서 접종효과를 추적한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. USDA110K-$STR^r$, USDA110N-$STR^r$, R138-$STR^r$은 pH9에 내성이 약했으며, R214-$STR^r$, $NAL^r$, USDA110N-$STR^r$은 sorbitol에 R138-$STR^rNAL^r$은 xylose에 대한 자화성이 불분명했다. 2. Serogroup에 의해 각 균주들은 서로 다른 균주로 동정되었으나 원균주와 표식균주(標識菌株)간에는 거의 차이가 없었다. 3. Plasmid size는 생육 촉진형 군이 지연형보다 약간 컸으나, 야생균주와 그들의 표식균간(標識菌間)에는 각각 차이가 없었다. 4. 5년이상 대두 재배 토양에 표식균주(標識菌株) 접종시(接種時) 0~12.5%, 대두 무재배 토양에서는 5~22.5%의 접종률을 보였다. 5. 원균주와 표식균주(標識菌株)를 각각 접종시 5년이상 대두재배 토양에서는 접종효과가 없었으나 대두 무재배 토양에서는 상당한 접종효과가 있었으며 원균주가 표식균주(標識菌株)보다 더 큰 효과를 나타냈다.

Two hundred and eighty nine strains of Yersinia enterocolitica isolated from healthy pigs were tested for the presence of 40~50 Megadalton virulence-associated plasmids and plasmidmediated in vitro virulence-associated properties, i.e., congo red uptake, calcium dependency, autoagglutination, CRMOX reaction, crystal violet binding and pyrazinamidase reaction. The correlationships between in vitro virulence-associated properties and the presence of 220 Kdalton outer membrane protein(OMP) were examined in strains with or without virulence-associated plasmids. The correlationships between the presence of plasmids on the production of the OMP and the expression of in vitro virulence-associated properties were studied with $CRMOX^+$ strains and acridine orangecured $CRMOX^-$ mutants. The results were as follows : 1. Of the in vitro virulence-associated tests with 289 strains of Y enterocolitica, 275 strains (95.2%) were positive for pyrazinamidase test, and followed by in order of crystal violet binding test, 226 (79.2% ) ; CRMOX test, 190 (65.7%) ; autoagglutination test, 1.85(64.0%) : calcium dependency test, 86 (29.8%) and congo red uptake test, 47(16.3%). 2. The correlationship between autoagglutination and CRMOX test(r=0.90) was highly significant (p<0.01). 3. In 190 strains(65.7%) bearing the virulence-associated plasmids(MW 40~50 Mdalton), the correlation between the presence of plasmids and their in vitro virulence-associated properties were highest with CRMOX test(r=0.93) and followed by in orders of AAG test(0.81), CV test(0.46), PYZ test(0.37) and CD test(0.18), but no correlationship between the presence of plasmids and CR test(-0.11). 4. The $CRMOX^+$ strains produced the 220 Kdalton OMP when they were cultured at $37^{\circ}C$, but not at $26^{\circ}C$. The presence of 220 Kdalton OMP was correlated significantly with in vitro virulence properties and the presence of virulence-associated plasmid, respectively. 5. In the isogenic $CRMOX^-$ mutant strains, of which plasmid were cured by treatment with acridine orange not only in vitro virulence-associated properties(CR 100%, CD 100%, AAG 82.6%, CV 58.3%) disappeared but also 220 Kdalton OMP(100%) was not produced. These results indicate that the positive CRMOX reaction is plasmid-mediated and the CRMOX test is potential as an in vitro virulence tests with Y enterocolitica.

유류에 의해 오염된 토양으로부터 난분해성 물질인 phenanthrene을 유일한 탄소원과 에너지원으로 이용하며 성장하는 균주들을 분리한 후, 그중에서 분해능이 가장 우수한 균주를 선별하여 HS362라고 명명하였다. HS362는 생화학적 검사로는 Sphingomonas paucimobilis와, 16S rDNA 염기서열 분석으로는 Sphingomonas CF06과 가장 유사한 것으로 나타났고, 지방산분석 결과도 그람음성 간균인 Sphingomonas 속으로 판명되었으므로 Sphingomonas sp. HS362라고 명명하였다. 이 균은 500 ppm의 phenanthrene을 단일 탄소원으로 첨가한 경우, 10일 만에 $98{\%}$ 이상을 분해하였고,3000 ppm의 phenanthrene이 첨가된 경우에도 10일 만에 약$30{\%}$ 이상을 분해하는우수한 균임이 확인되었다. 또한 이 균은PAH들(Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) 중에서 phenanthrene 이외에도 분자량이 적은 indole, naphthalene은 분해할 수 있는 반면에, 분자량이 큰 pyrene, fluoranthene은 분해하지 못하였다. Spitingomonas sp. HS362에 의한 phenanthrene 분해는$30^{\circ}C$, pH $4{\~}8$, NaCl $1{\%}$ 이하의 농도인 조건하에서 배양했을 때 가장 우수했으며, 특히 전분과 SDS, Tween 85, Triton X-100와 같은 계면활성제를 첨가해 주었을 때 분해가 증진되었다. 또한, 전배양을 통해서 phenanthrene의 분해가 증진되는 것을 볼 때에 분해효소가 유도되는 것으로 추측할 수 있었다. Spltingomonas sp. HS362는 5개의 plasmid를 가지고 있는데, 그중에서 plasmid p4를 잃었을 때에는phenanthrene을 분해하지 못하는 것으로 보아plasmid p4가 phenanthrene분해와 밀접한 관련이 있는 것으로 보인다.

For the quantitative analysis of genetically modified (GM) maize in processed foods, primer sets and probes based on the 35S promoter (p35S), nopaline synthase terminator (tNOS), p35S-hsp70 intron, and zSSIIb gene encoding starch synthase II for intrinsic control were designed. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products (80~101 bp) were specifically amplified and the primer sets targeting the smaller regions (80 or 81 bp) were more sensitive than those targeting the larger regions (94 or 101 bp). Particularly, the primer set 35F1-R1 for p35S targeting 81 bp of sequence was even more sensitive than that targeting 101 bp of sequence by a 3-log scale. The target DNA fragments were also specifically amplified from all GM labeled food samples except for one item we tested when 35F1-R1 primer set was applied. A reference plasmid pGMmaize (3 kb) including the smaller PCR products for p35S, tNOS, p35S-hsp70 intron, and the zSSIIb gene was constructed for real-time PCR (RT-PCR). The linearity of standard curves was confirmed by using diluents ranging from $2{\times}10^1{\sim}10^5$ copies of pGMmaize and the $R^2$ values ranged from 0.999~1.000. In the RT-PCR, the detection limit using the novel primer/probe sets was 5 pg of genomic DNA from MON810 line indicating that the primer sets targeting the smaller regions (80 or 81 bp) could be used for highly sensitive detection of foreign DNA fragments from GM maize in processed foods.

The fission yeast cells that contained the cloned glutathione synthetase (GS) gene showed 1.4-fold higher glutathione (GSB) content and 1.9-fold higher GS activity than the cells without the cloned GS gene. Interestingly, $\gamma$-glutamylcysteine synthetase activity increased 2.1-fold in the S. pombe cells that contained the cloned GS gene. The S. pombe cells that harbored the multi copy-number plasmid pRGS49 (containing the cloned GS gene) showed a higher level of survival on solid media with cadmium chloride (1 mM) or mercuric chloride ($10\;{\mu}M$) than the cells that harbored the YEp357R vector. The 506 bp upstream sequence from the translational initiation point and N-terminal8 amino acid-coding region were fused into the promoteriess $\beta$-galactosidase gene of the shuttle vector YEp367R to generate the fusion plasmid pUGS39. Synthesis of $\beta$-galactosidase from the fusion plasmid pUGS39 was significantly enhanced by cadmium chloride and NO-generating S-nitroso-N-acetylpenicillamine (SNAP) and sodium nitroprusside (SN). It was also induced by L-buthionine-(S,R)-sulfoximine, a specific inhibitor of $\gamma$-glutamylcysteine synthetase (GCS). We also found that the expression of the S. pombe GS gene is regulated by the Atf1-Spc1-Wis1 signal pathway.

The cellular fatty acid composition is important for metabolic plasticity in Rhodobacter sphaeroides. We explored the effects of changing the cellular ratio of unsaturated fatty acids (UFAs) to saturated fatty acids (SFAs) in R. sphaeroides by overexpressing several key fatty acid biosynthetic enzymes through the use of expression plasmid pRK415. Bacteria containing the plasmid pRKfabI₁ with the fabI₁ gene that encodes enoyl-acyl carrier protein (ACP) reductase showed a reduction in the cellular UFA to SFA ratio from 4 (80% UFA) to 2 (65% UFA) and had decreased membrane fluidity and reduced cell growth. Additionally, the ratio of UFA to SFA of the chromatophore vesicles from pRKfabI₁-containing cells was similarly lowered, and the cell had decreased levels of light-harvesting complexes, but no change in intracytoplasmic membrane (ICM) content or photosynthetic (PS) gene expression. Both inhibition of enoyl-ACP reductase with diazaborine and addition of exogenous UFA restored membrane fluidity, cell growth, and the UFA to SFA ratio to wild-type levels in this strain. R. sphaeroides containing the pRKfabB plasmid with the fabB gene that encodes the enzyme β-ketoacyl-ACP synthase I exhibited an increased UFA to SFA ratio from 4 (80% UFA) to 9 (90% UFA), but showed no change in membrane fluidity or growth rate relative to control cells. Thus, membrane fluidity in R. sphaeroides remains fairly unchanged when membrane UFA levels are between 80% and 90%, whereas membrane fluidity, cell growth, and cellular composition are affected when UFA levels are below 80%.

This paper deals with the isolation of Salmonella on 3 herds during the period from May 1984 to May 1985. Isolated Salmonella were examined for serotypes, adhesive fimbriae, antibiotic susceptibility and detection of R plasmid. The results were as follows; Of total 1505 cattle, 24 Salmonella were isolated from 18 cattle (1.2%) and their serotypes were S. enteritidis (9 strains), S. derby(4 strains), S. infantis (1 strain), $C_1$ group(8 strains), $C_2$ group(1 strain) and untypable(1 strain). Twelve strains of Salmonella were isolated from 227 cattle with diarrhea and their serotypes were S. enteritidis(4 strains), S. derby(3 strains), S. infantis(1 strain), $C_1$ group(3 strains) and untypable(1 strain). The isolation rate of Salmonella in cattle varied from 1.6 to 0.9% in 3 herds, it was higher in summer and autumn and lower with the age. Of total 24 strains, 23 were adhesive type 1 fimbriae. Antibiotic susceptibility test of Salmonella isolated was performed by the agar dilution method, using 9 antibiotics as follows: ampicillin(Am), chloramphenicol(Cm), gentamicin(Gm), kanamycin(Km), nalidixic acid(Na), rifampicin(Rf), streptomycin(Sm), sulfadimethoxine(Su) and tetracycline(Tc). All the strains tested were susceptible to Am, Cm, Gm, Km, Na, Rf and Tc. Of total 24 strains, 23(95.8%) were resistant to Su and 14(58.3%) to Sm. Of the 23 resistant Salmonella strains, all the strains were found to carry R plasmid. Among them, two strains which had the R plasmid conferring SmSu resistance was transferable at $25^{\circ}C$ only.

2001년 경북지역의 설사환자로부터 분리된, Salmonella Enteritidis SY9 균주로부터 ampicillin, chloramphenicol, sulfonamide, streptomycin, tetracycline에 내성을 가지는 40 kb plasmid를 분리하였다. pCAST2 라고 명명한 이 다제내성 plasmid로부터 sulfonamide, streptomycin, tetracycline 내성유전자를 가지는 약 7 kb의 Sacl 단편을 클로닝 하였다. 이 7 kb 단편 염기서열의 내성유전자의 구조는 sulII-strA-strB-tetR-tetA의 집락으로 기존에 보고되지 않은 새로운 유전자 배열을 나타내었다. 본 연구에서는 내성유전자 집락을 검출할수 있는 primer를 제작하여 PCR 분석을 통해서 이들 구조를 탐지할 수 있는 방법을 제시하였다. 또한 PCR 분석을 통한 구조 비교로, 이 집락이 2002년 8월에 경북지역에서 산발적으로 발생한 Salmonella 균주에서도 발견됨을 확인하였다.

We developed various plasmid cloning vectors that are useful in the construction of genomic and shotgun libraries. Two medium copy vectors, pCUGlblu21 (pCb21) and pAGlblu21 (pAb21), which are resistant to kanamycin ($Km^R$) and chloramphenicol ($Cam^R$), respectively, are useful for cloning DNA inserts ranging from 5kb to 15kb. Two high copy vectors, pCUGlblu31 (pCb31) and pAGlblu31 (pAb31), containing $Km^R$ and $Cam^R$, respectively, are useful for DNA inserts less than 5kb. These vectors are well adapted for large-scale genome sequencing projects by providing choice of copy number and selectable marker. The small vector size is another advantage of these vectors. All vectors contain lacZa including multicloning sites that originated from pBluscriptllsk- for easy cloning and sequencing. Two medium copy vectors contain unique and rare cutting Swal (ATTTAAAT) restriction enzyme sites for easy determination of insert size. We developed two combined vectors, pC21A31 and pC31A21, which are combinations of (pCb21 + pAb31) and (pCb31 + pAb21), respectively. These two vectors provide four choices of vectors such as $Km^R$ and medium, $Cam^R$ and high, $Cam^R$ and medium, and $Km^R$ and high copy vectors by restriction enzyme cutting, dephosphorylation, and gel purification. These vectors were successfully applied to high throughput shotgun sequencing of rice, tomato, and brassica BAC clones. With an example of extremely biased hydro sheared 3 kb shotgun library of a tomato BAC clone, which is originated from cytogenetically defined peri-centromeric region, we suggest the utility of an additional 10 kb library for sequence assembly of the difficult-to-assemble BAC clone.
