The effect of carbon sources on tacrolimus production by a mutant strain of Streptomyces clavuligerus CKD 1119, an isolate from soil, was examined. Among the carbohydrates and oils tested in this work, a mixed carbon source of soluble starch and com oil was the best. An analysis of the culture kinetics also showed that, in contrast to the carbohydrates, the com oil was consumed later in the antibiotic production phase, implying that the oil substrate was the principal carbon source for the biosynthesis of tacrolimus, and this was directly proven by experiments using $^{14}C$-glucose and $^{14}C$-oleate substrates. Furthermore, com oil induced the formation of lipase by the mutant strain, whereas the addition of glucose significantly repressed lipase activity. The lipase activity exhibited by the FK-506-overproducing mutants was also observed to be directly proportional to their tacrolimus yield, indicating that a high lipase activity is itself a crucial factor for tacrolimus production. A feasibility study with a 200-1 pilot-scale fermentor and the best strain (Tc-XII-15322) identified in this work revealed a high volumetric and specific productivity of about 495 mg/l and 0.34 mg/mg dry mycelium, respectively.

An anthracycline antibiotic, aclacinomycin A (aclarubicin), was produced from a mutant strain of Streptomyces lavendofoliae. The mutant strain which showed a 4-fold higher productivity of aclacinomycin A compared with the parent strain was also found to produce a significantly higher amount of aclacinomycin A than the reported production strain, Streptomyces galilaeus. The aclacinomycin A was produced up to 125 mg/l using potato starch and soybean meal as carbon and nitrogen sources, respectively, on a 3 liter scale fermentation in a 5 liter jar fermentor. The mutant strain also produced significant amount of aclacinomycins Band Y. Aclacinomycin A was isolated from the culture broth by solvent extractions and further purified by silica gel column chromatography. The yield of aclacinomycin A with over 99$%$ purity was found to be over 60$%$ starting from 3 liters of culture broth.

The ${alpha}$-amylase gene of Bacillus licheniformis has been cloned and two mutant ${alpha}$-amylase genes of which histidine 235 was changed to glutamine (H235Q) and aspartic acid 328 to glutamic acid (D328E) have been produced by site-directed mutagenesis. The kinetic parameters, optimum pH and thermostability of wild type(WT) and these two mutant amylases expressed in E. coli MC1061 have been compared after purification. The $K_m$ values of WT, H235Q and D328E ${alpha}$-amylases were 0.22%, 0.73%, and 0.80% respectively, when using starch as the substrate. The $V_max$ values of wild type ${alpha}$ -amylase and mutant ${alpha}$-amylases were 0.6-0.7%/minute, and did not show any significant differences among them. The optimum pH of D328E ${alpha}$-amylase was shifted to more acidic pH. Also, the thermostability of H235Q ${alpha}$-amylase was increased compared to the wild type ${alpha}$-amylase.

Wheat (Triticum spp.) is an important source of food worldwide and the focus of considerable efforts to identify new combinations of genetic diversity for crop improvement. In particular, wheat starch composition is a major target for changes that could benefit human health. Starches with increased levels of amylose are of interest because of the correlation between high amylose content and elevated levels of resistant starch, which has been shown to have beneficial effects on health for combating obesity and diabetes. In this study, high amylose wheat germplasms from other countries were collected and cultivated in Korea, and then the content of amylose was evaluated, we examined amylose content in 614 wheat germplasm. Furthermore, amylose content was validated using several milling processes such as roller, hammer, and grinding mill. As a result, the amylose content distribution was divided into five groups. The range of the amylose levels in whole wheat flour was 18.3% to 29.6%. In addition, the mutant lines were screened for high amylose, and two mutant lines (WX-1046 and WX-1074) exhibited a comparable amylose content to Keumkang whole wheat (19.6%). It has been established that high amylose indicated SS IIa null and necessitate GBSS. Based on these findings, it may be helpful to develop high amylose wheat germplasm and production techniques, particularly in Korea.

한국 전통누룩으로부터 분리.동정된 Asp. coreanus NR 15-1, Asp. oryzae NR 15-3, 그리고 Asp. oryzae NR 2-5로부터 amylase활성이 높고 세포융합에 사용될 변이주를 분리하고 그의 특성을 검토했다. Aspergillus 속 사상균을 변이처리하기 위한 변이원으로는 NTG를 사용하였으며 Asp. coreanus NR 15-1로부터 총 15종의 변이주중 8종의 영양요구변이주, Asp. oryzae NR 15-3 으로부터 총 5종중 3종의 영양요구변이주를, Asp. oryzae NR 2-5로부터 총 6종중 2종의 영양요구변이주를 분리하였다. 이들 영양요구변이주는 최소배지 에서는 생육하지 않았으며 특정 아미노산과 핵산염기 등을 배지에 첨가했을 경우에만 생육하였다. 분리된 변이주의 당화력, 액화력 및 산 생성능 등을 검토한 결과, 산 생성능이 우수한 균주인 Asp. coreanus NR 15-1로부터 glucoamylase 활성이 높은 \ulcorner(Arg.￣) 변이주와 Asp. oryzae NR 2-5로 부터 $\alpha$-amylase 활성이 우수한 영양요구변이주인 Z6(Ade.￣) 변이주를 세포융합에 사용이 가능한 변이주라 사료되었다. 앞으로 이 들의 변이주를 대상으로 세포융합을 통해 우수한 사상균주를 획득할 수 있는 기초적 자료가 됨으로서 전통누룩의 과학화에 기여할 뿔만 아니라 외국 주류와 경쟁력이 있고 과학화된 전통주류의 개발이 가능하리 라 사료된다.

Spores of Aspergillus sp. SU14 were treated repeatedly and sequentially with $Co^{60}$ ${\gamma}$-rays, ultraviolet irradiation, and N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine. One selected mutant strain, Aspergillus sp. SU14-M15, produced cellulase in a yield 2.2-fold exceeding that of the wild type. Optimal conditions for the production of cellulase by the mutant fungal strain using solid-state fermentation were examined. The medium consisted of wheat-bran supplemented with 1% (w/w) urea or $NH_4Cl$, 1% (w/w) rice starch, 2.5 mM $MgCl_2$, and 0.05% (v/w) Tween 80. Optimal moisture content and initial pH was 50% (v/w) and 3.5, respectively, and optimal aeration area was 3/100 (inoculated wheat bran/container). The medium was inoculated with 25% 48 hr seeding culture and fermented at $35^{\circ}C$ for 3 days. The resulting cellulase yield was 8.5-fold more than that of the wild type strain grown on the basal wheat bran medium.

A plasmid vector was constructed for the expression and secretion of Bacillus macerans cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase) in Bacillus subtilis. The vector, pUBACGT, was composed of the ribosome-binding sequence, signal sequence, and cgt gene from B. macerans under the control of amyR2, the promoter of amyE gene coding for $\alpha$-amylase from B. subtilis var. natto. Bacillus subtilis LKS88, a mutant strain lacking genes for an amylase and two proteases, was used as a host for the transformation of the plasmid vector. The transformants were selected on kanamycin-containing Luria-Bertani plates. The starch hydrolyzing activity was observed on the starch-containing plates by the iodine method and cyclodextrin-forming activity was detected in the culture medium. A SDS-PAGE analysis showed that most of the expressed CGTase in the recombinant B. subtilis was secreted into the medium at a high expression level.
