Follicular fluid influxed into the oviduct during ovulation may affect movement of sperm for fertilization Thus, in this study, the effect of follicular fluid, obtained from follicles of l0mm in diameter, on number and quality of sperm recovered by swim-up separation was investigated and sperm-movement stimulating components extracted from follicular fluid with methanol and isooctane were separated by gel filtration with Sepadex G-1O, G-25 and G-1OO gels, and were isolated by electrophoresis with SDS-PAGE mini gel. The results obtained were as follows; 1. Diluted follicular fluid stimulated sperm movement. 2. Sperm-movement stimulating factors were in methanol extract. 3. Sperm-movement stimulating effect of methanol extract appeared in fraction I among fractions recovered after gel filtration. And the fraction I contained proteins indicating 4 major bands as about 47, 43, 25 and 14 kilodaldons and 5 minor bands as about 67, 58, 23, 22 and 21 kilodaldons. 4. The fraction I recovered from G-100 gel showed significantly low percentage of motile sperm and had no protein indicating the band of 67 kilodaldons among the minor bands.

High levels of xylanase activity (143.98 IU/ml) produced by the newly isolated Paenibacillus campinasensis G1-1 were detected when it was cultivated in a synthetic medium. A thermostable xylanase, designated XynG1-1, from P. campinasensis G1-1 was purified to homogeneity by Octyl-Sepharose hydrophobic-interaction chromatography, Sephadex G75 gel-filter chromatography, and Q-Sepharose ion-exchange chromatography, consecutively. By multistep purification, the specific activity of XynG1-1 was up to 1,865.5 IU/mg with a 9.1-fold purification. The molecular mass of purified XynG1-1 was about 41.3 kDa as estimated by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). Sequence analysis revealed that XynG1-1 containing 377 amino acids encoded by 1,134 bp genomic sequences of P. campinasensis G1-1 shared 96% homology with XylX from Paenibacillus campinasensis BL11 and 77%~78% homology with xylanases from Bacillus sp. YA-335 and Bacillus sp. 41M-1, respectively. The activity of XynG1-1 was stimulated by $Ca^{2+}$, $Ba^{2+}$, DTT, and ${\beta}$-mercaptoethanol, but was inhibited by $Ni^{2+}$, $Fe^{2+}$, $Fe^{3+}$, $Zn^{2+}$, SDS, and EDTA. The purified XynG1-1 displayed a greater affinity for birchwood xylan, with an optimal temperature of $60^{\circ}C$ and an optimal pH of 7.5. The fact that XynG1-1 is cellulose-free, thermostable (stability at high temperature of $70^{\circ}C{\sim}80^{\circ}C$), and active over a wide pH range (pH 5.0~9.0) suggests that the enzyme is potentially valuable for various industrial applications, especially for pulp bleaching pretreatment.

An extracellular chitinase of the selected strong antifungal microorganism, Serratia sp. 3095, was purified by salting out, affinity adsorption, Sepadex G-100 gel fitration, Sepadex G-75 gel fitration and DEAE Sepadex A-50 chromatography. The molecular weight of the purified chitinase was estimated to be 62,000 dalton by SDS-PAGE. Optimal pH and temperature of the chitinase were pH 7.5 and 45, respectively. The enzyme retained more than 80% of the activity between pH 5.5 and pH 10.5, and below $50^{\circ}C$ but was unstable above $60^{\circ}C$, below pH 5.0. The activity of the chitinase was inhibited about 60% by $Sn^{2+}$, 40% by $Hg^{2+}$ and $Ag^+$, 70% by AHA, 40% by iodoacetate, 35% by thiourea and p-CMB, but stabilized by SDS. $K_m$ value of the purified chitinase was 3.68 mg/ml for colloidal chitin. The chitinase from Serratia sp. 3095 showed antifungal activity to Fusariurm solani.

An immunogenic, high molecular weight lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-protein complex isolated from a potassium thioncyanate extract of a Pasteurella multocida (P multocida ; strain P-2383, capsular type A and somatic type 3) was characterized. Chemical analysis of the complex by gas chromatography on a capillary column demonstrated that this complex contained most of the chemical constituents characteristic of LPS extracted by the phenol-water methed from the whole bacterium. However, there was proportionately more carbohydrate than fatty acid in the complex in contrast to LPS in which fatty acid seemed to be in excess. When toxicity of the complex was evaluated in 10-day-old chicken embryos, the complex was less toxic ($LD_{50}=12.72{\mu}g$) than the purified LPS ($LD_{50}=0.44{\mu}g$). The $LD_{50}$, of the LPS moiety extracted from the complex was $5.24{\mu}g$. Composition of the complex was analyzed by SDS-PAGE with silver staining and Western immunoblotting. The complex did not migrate through the polyacrylamide gel unless dissociated with SDS. The complex dissociated with SDS contained at least 32 different protein and polysaccharide components: 18 components reacted with an antiserum against the complex. There was no significant compositional variation between the complexes from different strains, but quantitative differences in individual components were noted. When cross-protectivity of the complex was evaluated in mice, this complex provided substantial protection not only against the homologous bacteriun but also against different P multocida strains of the same serotype. LPS-protein complexes isolated by the same method from other strains also induced protection against an challenge with P-2383.

A novel gene coding for an endo-${\beta}$-1,4-mannanase (manA) from Bacillus subtilis strain G1 was cloned and overexpressed in P. pastoris GS115, and the enzyme was purified and characterized. The manA gene consisted of an open reading frame of 1,092 nucleotides, encoding a 364-aa protein, with a predicted molecular mass of 41 kDa. The ${\beta}$-mannanase showed an identity of 90.2-92.9% ${\leq}95%$) with the corresponding amino acid sequences from B. subtilis strains deposited in GenBank. The purified ${\beta}$-mannanase was a monomeric protein on SDS-PAGE with a specific activity of 2,718 U/mg and identified by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. The recombinant ${\beta}$-mannanase had an optimum temperature of $45^{\circ}C$ and optimum pH of 6.5. The enzyme was stable at temperatures up to $50^{\circ}C$ (for 8 h) and in the pH range of 5-9. EDTA and most tested metal ions showed a slightly to an obviously inhibitory effect on enzyme activity, whereas metal ions ($Hg^{2+}$, $Pb^{2+}$, and $Co^{2+}$) substantially inhibited the recombinant ${\beta}$-mannanase. The chemical additives including detergents (Triton X-100, Tween 20, and SDS) and organic solvents (methanol, ethanol, n-butanol, and acetone) decreased the enzyme activity, and especially no enzyme activity was observed by addition of SDS at the concentrations of 0.25-1.0% (w/v) or n-butanol at the concentrations of 20-30% (v/v). These results suggested that the ${\beta}$-mannanase expressed in P. pastoris could potentially be used as an additive in the feed for monogastric animals.

Serratia marcescens catabolic threonine dehydratase는 streptomycin sulfate treatment, Sephadex G-200 gel filtration, AMP-Sepharose 4B affinity chromatography 등의 방법으로 정제하였는데, 최종 단계에서 회수율은 15.5%이었으며 50배 정제되었다. Native 분자량은 native pore gradient polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis(PAGE) 방법으로는 120,000이었다. SDS-PAGE에 의한 subunit의 분자량은 30,000이었고, 즉 S. marcescens 효소는 4개의 동일한 subunit으로 구성된 homo-tetrameric protein임이 판명되었다. S. marcescens 효소의 L-threonine에 대한 Km값은 AMP가 있는 조건에서 7.3 mM, AMP가 없는 조건에서 92 mM이었다. S. marcescens 효소는 효소 1 mole 당 각각 2 mole의 pyridoxal 5'-phosphate(PLP), 16개의 free-SH group을 가지고 있었다. S. marcescens 효소는 AMP의 존재 하에서 $\alpha$-ketobutyrate, pyruvate, glyoxylate, phosphoenol pyruvate(PEP)에 의해 효소 활성이 억제되었으며, cAMP와 ADP에 의해서는 효소 활성이 증가되었다. 효소학적 성질면에서 S. marcescens 효소는 E. coli 효소보다는 S. typhimurium 효소와 유사하였다. 한편, E. coli 효소는 cAMP에 의하여 효소 활성이 증가되고, S. typhimurium 효소는 ADP에 의해 효소 활성이 증가되는 것과 다르게, S. marcescens 효소는 cAMP와 ADP 모두 효소 활성이 증가되었다. 따라서 이상의 연구 결과들은 세 enteric bacteria의 catabolic threonine dehydratase가 서로 작은 차이점이 있다는 것을 반영하며, 이러한 사실을 규명하기 위해서는 향후 보다 심층적인 연구를 수행하여야 할 것으로 사료된다.

우리나라에 존재하며 외국에서 분리된 것과 다른 특성을 보이는 IHNV를 대상으로 하여 이 바이러스의 면역유도단백질을 확인하고자 하였다. 먼저 우리나라에서 분리된 4종류의 IHNV를 미국에서 분리된 3종류의 IHNV(OSV, SRCV 및 RB-76)와 SDS-PAGE상에서 구조단백질의 크기와 혈청학적 특성 등을 비교하였다. 그 결과 우리나라에서 분리된 4종류의 IHNV중 2종류(PRT, MRT)의 IHNV는 미국에서 분리된 IHNV와 차이가 있었으며 (Park et al., 1993), IHNV-PRT를 대상으로 면역유도단백질을 확인하기 위해 IHNV-PRT에 대한 monoclonal antibodies(MAbs)를 만들었다. 이들 중 4종류의 hybridoma를 선택하여 hybridoma cell들이 분비하는 MAbs가 어떤 class인지를 ELISA 실험을 통하여 확인한 결과 4종류 모두 IgG class에 속하는 것으로 확인되었다. 이와같이 만들어진 4종류의 MAbs가 IHNV-PRT 구조단백질들 중 어떤 것에 대한 것인지를 western blotting 실험을 통해 확인한 결과, 2종류의 MAbs는 G단백질과 특이성이 있는 것들이었고, 나머지 2종류는 G보다 조금 큰 size의 단백질에 대한 것들이었다. 다음은 IHNV-PRT에 감염된 무지개송어의 혈청을 뽑아 여기에 존재하는 IHNV-PRT에 대한 항체를 western blotting 방법으로 분석을 한 결과 G, $M_1$, $M_2$ 및 G 보다 조금 큰 size의 단백질에 대한 항체가 존재하는 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 결과로부터 IHNV-PRT의 구조단백질들 중 G, $M_1$, $M_2$ 및 G 보다 조금 큰 size의 단백질들이 면역 유도 특성이 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.
