Scopolamine and hyoscyamine are important anticholinergic compounds. To increase the productivity, we have selected various elicitors and developed culture system using a bubble column bioreactor (BCB). As the same manner of elicitation in flask cultures, the elicitors were introduced into BCB cultures and the productivity was investigated. Except the bacterial elicitor of Staphyllococcus aureus, the elicitors inhibited hyoscyamine production. In scopolamine production, the elicitors revealed different responses from the results obtained in flask cultures. The elicitors of KCl and Candida albicans less increased the production than flask cultures. However, methyl jasmonate and S. aureus showed stronger positive effects on tropane alkaloid production. In particular, S. aureus was the most effective elicitor on scopolamine production and the elicitor resulted in the highly increased production, approximately 10 times higher than the control culture.

A series of novel quinoline-6-carboxamides and 2-chloroquinoline-4-carboxamides were synthesized by the reaction of their analogous carboxylic acids with various amine derivatives in the presence of base TEA and protecting agent BOP at room temperature. Synthesized compounds were confirmed by spectral characterization viz IR, $^1H$-NMR, and MS. Antibacterial activity carried out against Escherichia coli and Staphyllococcus aureus indicated that the synthesized compounds were active against these microorganisms.

Cecropins (Cec) are antibacterial peptides and their expression is induced in a pig intestinal parasite Ascaris suum by bacterial infection. To explore the usefulness of its activity as an antibiotic, CecP4 cDNA was prepared and cloned into the pPICZ B expression vector and followed by the integration into AOX1 locus in Pichia pastoris. The supernatants from cell culture were collected after methanol induction and concentrated for the test of antimicrobial activity. The recombinant P. patoris having CecP4 showed antimicrobial activity when tested against Staphyllococcus aureus in disc diffusion assay. We selected one of the CecP4 clones (CecP4-2) and performed further studies with it. The growth of recombinant P. pastoris was optimized using various concentration of methanol, and it was found that 2% methanol in the culture induced more antibacterial activity, compared to 1% methanol. We extended the test of antimicrobial activity by applying the concentrated supernatant of CecP4 culture to Pseudomonas aeruginosa and E. coli respectively. Recombinant CecP4 also showed antimicrobial activity against both Pseudomona and E. coli, suggesting the broad spectrum of its antimicrobial activity. After improvements for the scale-up, it will be feasible to use recombinant CecP4 for supplementation to the feed to control microbial infections in young animals, such as piglets.

Flavor characteristics of raw Cordyceps militaris significatntly different from those of dried one. In the case of raw Cordyceps militaris , major flavor components were composed of 5 alcohols, 3 ketones, 4 phenols, 9 alkanes , and 3 alkenes. The major alcohol was 1-octen-3-ol(22.56%, 1147.3% ng/ml), which contributed to the characteristic green flavor. Ketones (3-ocatone, inparticular )were present in the highest concentration in raw Cordyceps militaris . In contrast, major flavor components of dried Cordyceps militaris were composed of 4 alcohols, 4 ketones, 3 furans, 4 pyrizines, 2 dithiazines, 5 phenols , 8alkenes , 17 alkanes, and 8 fatty acids. Dried Cordyceps militaris had unique sweet aroma of sesame as wella s a milky flavor. Green or fruit flavor were rarely detected . In alkanes , 10 cosanes, component fo wax were present. Typical flavor components of alkanes such as $\beta$-caryophyllen and Δ-cadinene were also detected. Fatty acids of dried Cordyceps militaris ranged from myristic acid (14 :0) to linoleic acid (18 ; 2). The sweet aroma of dried Cordyceps militaris was mostly due to pryazines, dithaiazines, and furans. Two dithaizines were identified and characteristics of these flavor components was a roasted bacon flavor. Strong antibacterial acitivity was observed toward Vibrio spp. such as V. vulnificus, V.cholerae, V. parahaemlyticus. Relatively high antibacterial acitivity was shown toward Bacillus subtilis , B,cereus, Staphyllococcus aureus, and Corynebacterium xerosis.

These studies were conducted to investigate effects of Prunus mume extract on experimentally alloxan-induced diabetes in rabbites, antibacterial activity and acute toxicity in mice ; 1. $LD_{50}$ of Prunus mume extract(P.M.E.) was 15.25g/kg intraperitoneally in mice. 2. P.M.E. showed more significant recuperative effect compared to the control group in alloxan-induced diabetes of rabbits. 1) P.M.E. 800mg/kg bodyweight exhibited more excellent hypoglycemic effect afte 6 days and adjacent to the normal level at 14th day. 2) SGPT activity was significantly decreased after 6 days, and the blood levels of total cholesterol and urea-nitrogen were significant in 800mg/kg at 6 days and 10 days respectively. 3. In antibacterial activity test P.M.E. was active at 0.195mg/kg in Staphyllococcus aureus, 3.125mg/ml in E. coli, Enterobacter cloacae, Klebsiella oxytoca, and in Pseudomonas aeruginosa at 0.391mg/ml. 4. In histological findings, the sample groups were deeply stained, fully granulated and partial degranulation of ${\beta}-cells$, and a few vacuolar and vesicular changes of cytoplasm than alloxan treated group in proportion to the sample amounts.

Leaves from natural populations of Artemisia princeps var. orientalis in Suncheon of South Korea were examined for antimicrobial and antioxidative activities monthly (April through October). The antimicrobial activity of the ethyl acetate and water fractions of crude methanol extract from the plant collected monthly against three gram-positive, two gram-negative and one lactic acid bacteria were studied. The ethyl acetate and water fractions of crude methanol extract from A. princeps var. orientalis collected in August and September had the highest antimicrobial activity. Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) for each strain by ethyl acetate fraction of methanol extract from A. princeps var. orientalis was different depending on strains and sampling months. MIC for each strain was the highest in the sample of April, followed by October. In specific, MIC for Bacillus cereus was around 0.25mg/disc in the sample of April. The MIC for Staphyllococcus aureus was 0.01mg/disc in the sample of July, August, and September. It was the lowest value among tested strains and samples. And the antimicrobial activity for Lactobacillus plantarum was not found at any concentrations and sampling months. The in vitro antioxidative activities of methanol extract from Artemisia princeps var. orientalis collected monthly were determined by the scavenging of DPPH radical and inhibition of xanthine oxidase activity. The DPPH scavenging activity of the extracts from the plant sampled in May, June and July were higher than any other months. The xanthine oxidase activity of the extract of A. princeps var. orientalis collected in April and May showed the greatest activity, it is different with antimicrobial activity.

본시험은 한국산항생물질 또는 항생균의 개발이용을 목적으로 한 기초연구로서 주로 전년도의 계속연구와 아울러 토양시료로부터 새로히 항생세균을 분리하였다. 청주부근의 토양시료 500점으로부터 83점의 항생균을 분리하였으며 이들은 주로 gram음성균인 Escherichia coli에 유효한 것을 선별하였다. 이들에 대한 연구는 앞으로 계속할 것이며 수년간 계속 연구중인 우수항생균 JS7501은 그동안 수차에 걸쳐 재선별하였기 때문에 JS901로 개칭하여 본시험에 공시하였으며 항균작용법 위도 재확인하였으며 주로 추출을 목적으로 용매추출, 흡착, TLC, 이온교환 수지 등을 총동원하였으나 TLC에 의하여 활성이 확인된 4 spot를 분리할 수 있었다. JS7901의 배양배지로서는 Soytone Sugar배지가 가장 높은 항균력을 보였으며 Soytone보다는 Sugar가 활성물질 증가와 관계가 있었다.
