고추좀잠자리의 장으로부터 리그닌 분해활성을 보이는 미생물을 분리하였으며 16s rDNA 서열분석 및 생리 생화학적 동정에 의해 Serratia marcescens에 속하는 새로운 균주로 밝혀졌다. 분리된 균주는 리그닌 화합물을 포함하는 배지에서 배양하였을 때 cell growth의 증가에 따라 리그닌 화합물에 대한 분해능이 증가하였으며 48시간의 배양에 의해 20-45%의 분해능을 나타내었고, 특히 monomer 화합물인 vanillin 및 guaiacol과 dimer 화합물인 dealkaline 리그닌에 대한 분해능이 높았다. 분리된 균주 S. marcescens HY-5는 PCR에 의한 16S rDNA의 증폭과 denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis에 의한 장내 세균의 분포를 조사하였을 때 높은 밀도의 분포를 나타내었으며 서로 다른 지역에서 채집된 고추좀잠자리에서 공통적으로 발견되는 특징을 보여주었다.

Serratia marcescens를 $30^{\circ}C$에서 진탕배양했더니, 적색색소인 prodigiosin이 초로기(senescent phase of growth)에서 생성되었다. 그리고 이조건에서 배양한 세포를 polystyrene dish를 사용하여 세포의 hydrophobicity를 측정한 결과 상당한 소수성 성질이 발현되어 대부분의 세포가 비극성 성질의 polystyrene dish에 흡착되었다. 그러나 이 박테리아를 $37^{\circ}C$에서 배양했더니, 적색 색소인 prodigiosin도 생성되지 않았을 뿐 아니라 소수성 성질도 발현되지 않음으로서 세포가 polysyrene dish에 흡착되지 않고 pre-washing 단계에서 모두 씻겨져 났다. 또한 $30^{\circ}C$와 $37^{\circ}C$에서 배양한 serratia marecescens의 지질성분을 분석한 결과, $30^{\circ}C$에서 배양한 세포의 지질은 phospholipid, glycolipid 및 확인되지 않은 지질 등이 생성되었으나 $37^{\circ}C$에서 배양한 세포의 경우는 주로 양쪽성 성질의 aminolipid인 serratamolide가 생성되어, 배양한 온도조건에 따라 뚜렷한 차이를 보였다.

Degrees of hydrolysis by alkaline protease produced from Serratia marcescens S3-R1 is 3.95-6.30% of whey proteins during 5, 15, 30, 60, 90, 120,180, 240 min incubation at $40^{\circ}C$. Proteolytic pattern of the whey proteins showed that various low molecular weight peptides were generated during the incubation periods. The biological function of in Raw 264.7 cells treated with whey protein hydrolytic peptides, anti-inflammatory effect showed exhibit in the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-${\alpha}$, IL-6, COX-2 and iNOS by PCR analysis. COX-2 and iNOS gene expression inhibited in Raw 264.7 cells on whey protein hydrolysates below 3,000 dalton. The protease from Serratia marcescens S3-R1 showed a potential in production of low molecular weight whey protein hydrolysates which could be used for industrial application.

In vitro and in vivo activities of a biocontrol agent, Serratia plymuthica strain A2l-4, was evaluated for the control of Phytophthora blight of pepper, Strain A2l-4 inhibited mycelial growth, germination of zoosporangia and cystospores, and formation of zoospore and zoosporangia of Phytophthora capsici in vitro. In the pot experiment, incidence of Phytophthora blight of pepper in non-treated control was 100% at 14 days after inoculation, while no disease was observed in the plot treated with S. plymuthica A2l-4. In the greenhouse test, infection rate of pepper in the non-treated plots was 74.5%, while it was only 12.6％ in the plots treated with A2l-4. Results indicate that S. plymuthica A2l-4 is a potential biocontrol agent for Phytophthora blight of pepper.

A novel type of extracellular phospholipase $A_1$ was isolated from Serratia sp. MK1 and purified to homogeneity by ammonium sulfate precipitation, anion exchange and gel filtration chromatography. The purified enzyme was a monomer with a molecular mass of about 43, 000 Da. This enzyme showed the highest lipolytic activity toward phosphatidylserine among the phosphoglycerides tested, and preferentially catalyzed the hydrolysis of the ester bond in phosphatidic acid to lyso-phosphatidic acid. Enzyme activity was completely inhibited by the addition of a chelating agent such as EDTA, and inhibited enzyme activity was fully recovered by the presence of $Ca^{2+}$. This implies that the enzyme requires $Ca^{2+}$ for activity. The enzyme was stable up to $70^{\circ}C$ when incubated for 1 h at pH 8.5, and the optimal pH and temperature were 8.5 and $50^{\circ}C$, respectively.

The pirarucu, Arapaima gigas (body weight = 18.3 kg and total length = 102 cm) which had been reared in one of the private commercial aquaria for exhibition was found dead and submitted for diagnostic examination. A pure bacterial culture was isolated from the kidney, which was enlarged, and contained fluids. Result of the bacterial identification yielded Serratia fonticola. This paper describes the first isolation of S. fonticola from pirarucu.

For the efficient production of lysophospholipid the hydrolysis of phospholipid using phospholipase $A_1$ from Serratia sp. MK1 was studied in an aqueous-solvent, a two-phase and an emulsion system. Judged on the basis of productivity and the degree of hydrolysis, the yield of lysophospholipid in a two-phase system was found to be better than that obtained in an emulsion system. Among the 13 organic solvents tested phospholipase $A_1$ showed the most efficient catalytic activity and stability in butyl acetate. When 20% phospholipid was used it was completely hydrolyzed in this two-phase system.

Putrescine has a negative effect on health and is also used as an indicator of quality on meat products. We investigated the genes involved in putrescine production by Serratia liquefaciens IFI65 isolated from a spoiled Spanish dry-cured ham. We report here the genetic organization of its ornithine decarboxylase encoding region. The 5,506-bp DNA region showed the presence of three complete and two partial open reading frames. Putative functions have been assigned to several gene products by sequence comparison with proteins included in the databases. The second gene putatively coded for an ornithine decarboxylase. The functionality of this decarboxylase has been experimentally demonstrated by complementation to an E. coli defective mutant. Based on sequence comparisons of some enterobacterial ornithine decarboxylase regions, we have elaborated a hypothetical pathway for the acquisition of putrescine biosynthetic genes in some Enterobacteriaceae strains.

The catabolic ${\alpha}$-acetolactate synthase was purified to homogeneity from Serratia marcescens ATCC 25419 using ammonium sulfate fractionation, DEAE-Sepharose, Phenyl-Sepharose, and Hydroxylapatite column chromatography. The native molecular weight of the enzyme was approximately 150 kDa and composed of two identical subunits with molecular weights of 64 kDa each. The N-terminal amino acid sequence of the enzyme was determined to be Ala-Gln-Glu-Lys-Thr-Gly-Asn-Asp-Trp-Gln-His-Gly-Ala-Asp-Leu-Val-Val-Lys-Asn-Leu. It was not inhibited by the branched chain amino acids and sulfometuron methyl herbicide. The optimum pH of the enzyme was around pH 5.5 and the pI value was 6.1. The catabolic ${\alpha}$-acetolactate synthase showed weak immunological relationships with recombinant tobacco ALS, barley ALS, and the valine-sensitive ALS isozyme from Serratia marcescens.
