Objective: To separate/enrich tumor stem-like cells from the human esophageal carcinoma cell line OE-19 by using serum-free suspension culture and to identify their biological characteristics and radiation resistance. Methods: OE-19 cells were cultivated using adherent and suspension culture methods. The tumor stem-like phenotype of CD44 expression was detected using flow cytometry. We examined growth characteristics, cloning capacity in soft agar, and radiation resistance of 2 groups of cells. Results: Suspended cells in serum-free medium formed spheres that were enriched for CD44 expression. CD44 was expressed in 62.5% of suspended cells, but only in 11.7% of adherent cells. The suspended cells had greater capacity for proliferation and colony formation in soft agar than the adherent cells. When the suspended and adherent cells were irradiated at 5 Gy, 10 Gy, or 15 Gy, the proportion of CD44+ suspended cells strongly and weakly positive for CD44 was 77.8%, 66.5%, 57.5%; and 21.7%, 31.6%, 41.4%, respectively. In contrast, the proportion of CD44+ adherent cells strongly positive for CD44 was 18.9%, 14.%, and 9.95%, respectively. When the irradiation dose was increased to 30 Gy, the survival of the suspended and adherent cells was significantly reduced, and viable CD44+ cells were not detected. Conclusion: Suspended cell spheres generated from OE-19 esophageal carcinoma cells in serum-free stem medium are enriched in tumor stem-like cells. CD44 may be a marker for these cells.

Relationship between monoclonal antibody (MAb) productivity and growth rate, and effects of high cell density on MAb production rate increased with increasing specifis growth rate in both suspended and immobilized continuous cultures indicate a positively growth-associated relationship between MAb productivity and growth rate. moreover, the specific production rate was higher in the immobilized cell culture than that in suspended one at all dilution rates. In order to clarify these phenomana, MAb mPNA experession and cell cycle distribution were investigated in bacth cultures with immobilized cells and suspended cells. RT-PCR was used for observation of MAb mRNA expression and a two-color bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU)/propidium iodide (PI) flow cytometry method for determination of cell cycle distribution. The results revealed that MAb nRNA expression until dead phase, which was longer than in suspended cell. The cell cycle distribution patterns were observed almost the same for both immobilized and suspended cells. Such results may imply that a high cell density state has positive influence on the mRNA expression and on growth-associated Mab productivity of T0405 cells.

Mevinolic acid (MA), a secondary metabolite produced by a filamentous fungus Aspergillus terreus, is acidic form of lovastatin which has been identified as a powerful cholesterol-lowering agent in humans. When immobilized cell culture was performed, MA production was about 5.3-fold higher than the parallel suspended cell culture. Although the immobilized cells proliferated slowly during exponential in comparison with the suspended cells, oxygen uptake rate and oxygen mass transfer coefficient of the immobilized cell culture were about 1.3- and 2.5- fold higher respectively than those of the parallel suspended cell culture. From these results, it was concluded that MA biosynthesis was closely dependent on the cell growth rate, morphology and oxygen availability.

A Pseudomonas sp. strain NGK1 (NCIM 5120) capable of utilizing salicylate was immobilized in alginate and polyurethane foam (PUF). The degradation rate of salicylate by freely suspended cells was compared with the degradation rate by immobilized cells. In an initial 20 and 40 mM salicylate, free cells ($2{\times}10^{11}\;cfu\;ml^{-1}$) degraded to 16 and 14 mM, alginate-entrapped cells degraded to 18 and 26 mM, and PUF-entrapped cells degraded to 20 and 32 mM salicylate, respectively, in batch cultures. The alginate-and PUF-entrapped cells were used in repeated batch and continuous culture systems. The efficiency of both the immobilized systems f3r the degradation of salicylate was compared. It has been observed that the PUF-entrapped cells could be reused for more than 20 cycles whereas alginate-entrapped cells could be reused for a maximum of only 12 cycles, after which a decrease in degradation rat was observed with the initial 20 and 40 mM salicylate. The continuous degradation of sallcylate by freely suspended cells showed a negligible degradation rate of salicylate when compared with immobilized cells. With the immobilized cells in both alginate and polyurethane foam, the degradation rate increased with an increase in the dilution rate up to $2\;h^{-1}$ for 20 mM, and $1.5\;h^{-1}$ for 40 mM salicylate. The results revealed that PUF-entrapped cells were more efficient for the degradation of salicylate than alginate-entrapped cells and freely suspended cells.

The Pseudomonas sp. strain NGK1 (NCIM 5120) was immobilized in calcium alginate, agar, and polyacrylamide gel matrices. The salicylic acid-producing capacity of freely suspended cells was compared with immobilized cells in batches with a shake culture and continuous culture system in a packed bed reactor. Freely suspended cells ($4\times10^{10}cfu/ml$) produced 12 mM of salicylic acid, whereas cells immobilized in calcium alginate ($1.8\times10^{11}$cfu/g beads), agar ($1.8\times10^{11}$cfu/g beads), and polyacrylamide ($1.6\times10^{11}$cfu/g beads) produced 15, 11, and 16mM of salicylic acid, respectively, from naphthalene at an initial concentration of 25 mM. The continuous production of salicylic acid from naphthalene was investigated in a continuous packed bed reactor with two different cell populations. The longevity of the salicylic acid-producing activity of the immobilized cells from naphthalene was also studied in semi continuous fermentations. The immobilized cells could be reused 18, 13, and more than 20 times without losing salicylic acid-producing activity in calcium alginate-,agar-, and polyacrylamide-entrapped cells, respectively. The study reveals a more efficient utilization of naphthalene and salicylic acid production by the immobilized Pseudomonas sp. strain NGK1 as compared to the free cells.

Cyclosporin A 고정화배양과 현탁배양의 결과를 바탕으로 각각의 배양의 경우에 따른 비성장속도의 포도당에 대한 Monod 속도식을 제안하고 그에 필요 한 매개변수들을 구하였다. 고정화 배양이 현탁배양 에 비해 높은 ${\mu}m$와 낮은 Km 값을 갖는 것으로 나 타났는데 이는 고정화 균체의 우수한 활성과 기질에 대한 높은 친화도에 기 인한 것으로 보인다. 고정상 발효의 경우, 구한 매개변수들을 담체내에서의 물질 전달 및 반응속도의 정도를 나타내는 효율인자 값을 계산하는데 이용하였다. 중요한 고정화 공정변수인 담체크기, 균체부하의 정도가 기질의 확산저항에 미 치는 영향을 고려하여 효율인자값을 계산한 결과, 적절한 담체의 크기는 반경 $100 ~ 500{\mu}m$로 나타났 다. 고정화세포배양시 담체내의 균체의 균일한 분포 및 활성도의 유지를 위해서, 적정한 담체입자크기를 결정한 후 균체부하량을 조절하여 고정화 공정을 운 영하는 것이 중요한 것요로 판명되었다.

Distribution and binding properties of sodium salicylate the human red blood cells were studied under various experimental conditions. The effect of tonicity and hemolysis on the steady state level of the drug within the human red blood cells were accounted for in this study. When the washed cells were suspended in normal saline solution, the drug was so rapidly permeated into red cells. Since the pH of the system forces nearly complete ionization of the drug, ionic diffusion through aqueous pores is thought to be the mode of salicylate transport. Human red cell binding capacity and association constant for salicylate were estimated. This work supports the view that the red cells act asan important reservior of salicylate.

Saccharomyces cerevisiae의 고정화 및 현탁 세포로 구성된 연속식 생물반응기에서 에탄올 생성시 지질 첨가 영향을 연구하였다. 여러가지 배양조건하에서 에탄을 생산량 및 현탁 세포의 알코올 탈수소효소(alcohol dehydrogenase, ADH)의 비활성도를 측정하였다. 무통기 조건하에서 ergosterol과 oleic acid를 세포 배양액에 첨가하였을때, 에탄을 생산량과 균체 생육이 현저히 증가하였으나, 알코올 탈수소효소의 비활성도는 영향을 받지 않았다. 특히 무통기 조건 및 통기 조건하에서 얻어진 현탁 세포간의 알코올 탈수소효소의 비활성도는 차이가 없었다. 계면활성제 첨가시에도 에탄올 생성, 균체 생육, 알코올 탈수소효소의 비활성도가 크게 증가하였다. 고농도($40\;g/{\ell}$ 이상) 에탄올에 노출된 세포배양액에 ergosterol과 oletic acid 첨가시에도 에탄올 생성량, 균체 생육, 알코올 탈수소효소의 비활성도가 증가하였으나, 계면활성제 첨가시에는 효과가 없었다. 따라서, 지질 첨가효과는 저농도 에탄을 조건에 비해 고농도 에탄을 존재시 크게 작용하였다. 여러가지 매양조건에서 얻어진 현탁 세포의 알코올 탈수소효소의 isozyme patteren을 전기영동법에 의해 조사한 결과 ADH I으로 추정되는 한개의 isozyme만이 확인되었으며, isozyme의 이동거리는 세포의 배양조건에 따라 약간의 차이가 있었다. 에탄올 생성량과 알코올 탈수소효소의 비활성도사이의 상관관계는 성립되지 않았으며, 알코올 탈수소효소의 비활성도보다는 균체량이 에탄올 생성에 더 중요한 인자로 작용하였다.

The formation of microbial films(biofilm) by a non-sulfur phototrophic bacteria, Rhodopseudomonas capsulata, on inorganic media was studied. Porous ceramic beads(PCB) were superior to other immobilizing media for the biofilm formation in a packed-bed reactor. It was found that the formation of microbial films favored a lower hydraulic retention time, showing a higher ratio of cells attatched to the media to those suspended in the solution. The cell concentration in the biofilm reactor was as high as 11,400mg/l, which is 8-folds of the cell concentration in an ordinary suspended treatment. It was observed that the formation of micribial film by R. capsulata followed a general serial process of cell attachment, microcolony formation, and biofilm formation. The microbial films thus formed was very stable even for an extremely high volumetric BOD loading rate of 15gBOD/l day. The scanning electron micrographs of the microbial films showed that the cells were attached to both the surface and pores of the media.

Cyclosporin A(Cy A) 생산을 위한 회분식 생물 반응기 실험에서, 고정상세포를 이용함으로써 액상 배양과 비교할 때 생물공정 개선의 가능성이 있음을 제시하였다. 고농도 배지를 생산균주가 지수기 생장단계인 발효개시 후 139시간에 첨가하였을 때, 고정상배양과 액상배양 모두에서, 균주의 재활성 및 재생장으로 인해 CyA의 생산기간이 연장되어, 발효개시 후 250시간까지 최대 CyA 농도를 유지하였다. 반면에 배지의 첨가가 없는 단순 회분식 배양의 경우, 두 경우 모두 정체생장 단계에서 CyA의 생산성이 빠른 속도로 감소하였다. 주목할 점은 고정상 세포의 경우 CyA수율($Y_{p/x}$)이 고농도 배지를 첨가한 후에도 지수기때의 수율의 80%에 이르는 높은 값을 계속 유지할 수 있었으나, 이와는 대조적으로 액상 세포는 단지 58%만을 유지할 수 있었다. 그 결과 고정상배양의 최대 CyA생산성 이 액상배양과 비교하여 약 2배 정도 증가하였다.
