The serum free medium was developed and used for the suspension culture of mammalian cells. Although there were the problems of the longer lag time and the smaller maximum cell concentration achievable, the higher specific productivity as well as other advantages of the serum free medium can make it a more realistic alternative. The existence of a staggering period in glucose concentration vs. time profile in the batch culture can be a practical indicating signal for performing fed batch culture. The concentration dependence of the effects of the additives in the serum free medium as well as its economic feasibility was also tested.

Traditional culture technology of medicinal plants mainly depends on the field culture, which has many problems. With progress of modern culture technology, it has become possible to produce valuable secondary metabolites from medicinal plants. In this paper, we discuss about the pigment and saikosaponin production from too medicinal plants, Carthamus tinctorius and Bupleurum falcatum, through bioreactor culture system. A two-stage bioreactor culture system was established for the production of yellow and red pigments and saikosaponins by cell suspension cultures of Carthamus tinctorius and Bupleurum falcatum. In Carthamus tinctorius, balloon type airlift bioreactors and column type airlift bioreactors were employed for the tell culture and for the pigment production, respectively. The greatest pigment production was obtained on White medium supplemented with 4 mg/L kinetin, high levels of sucrose concentration and photosynthetic photon flux. In Bupleurum falcatum, adventitious roots were cultured in balloon type airlift bioreactors and the root growth was greatest on SH medium containing 5 mg/L IBA and 0.2 mg/L kinetin. HPLC analysis showed that the contents of main active saikosaponins a, c, and d in adventitious roots were almost the same as those in field cultured root.

We performed the cloning of a chalcone synthase (CHS) gene, the key enzyme in the anthocyanin biosynthesis, from the cDNA library constructed with grape suspension cells irradiated UV-B. The PCR fragment was used to cloning the CHS gene. One CHS cDNA clone containing an open reading frame and a partial stilbene synthase (STS)cDNA, the stilbene-type phytoalexin, were isolated. The CHS cDNA clone (VCHS) showed 87% sequence homology with VvCHS (V.vinifea) and 72.3% identity with VSTSY(V.vinifea). its amino acid sequences were longer than any other CHS genes as 454 residues. Two genes were weakly expressed in white light irradiated cells, but highly induced in UV-B irradiated condition during 32 hours. Interestingly, the STS was quickly and abundantly expressed from 2 hours when supplemented with jasmonic acid (JA) and the maximum expression was observed at 4 hours and then gradually decreased. But, the additional UV-B or white light quickly degraded the STS expression than only JA treated grape suspension cells. The CHS also was rapidly induced with JA and the synergistical effect was observed at the addigional light treatment of UV-B or white light. These results are indicated that CHS and STS have different response mechanisms against the environmental stresses.

Biological control of important fungal diseases such as Phytophthora blight of red pepper, gary mold rot of vegetables, and powdery mildew of many crops was attempted using an antagonistic bacterium, Bacillus sp. AC-1 in greenhouses and fields. The antagonistic bacterium isolated from the rhizosphere soils of healthy red pepper plant was very effective in the inhibition of mycelial growth of plant pathogenic fungi in vitro including Phytophthora capsici, Rhizoctonia solani, Pyricularia oryzae, Botrytis cinerea, Valsa mali, Fusarium oxysporum, Pythium ultimum, Alternari mali, Helminthosporium oryzae, and Colletotrichum gloeosporioides. Culture filtrate of antagonistic Bacillus sp. AC-1 applied to pot soils infested with Phytophthora capsici suppressed the disease occurrence better than metalaxyl application did until 37 days after treatment in greenhouse tests. Treatments of the bacterial suspension on red pepper plants also reduced the incidence of Phytophthora blight in greenhouse tests. In farmers' commercial production fields, however, the controlling efficacy of the antagonistic bacteria was variable depending on field locations. Gray mold rot of chinese chives and lettuce caused by Botrytis cinerea was also controlled effectively in field tests by the application of Bacillus sp. AC-1 with control values of 79.7% and 72.8%, respectively. Spraying of the bacterial suspension inhibited development of powdery mildew of many crops such as cucumber, tobacco, melon, and rose effectively in greenhouse and field tests. The control efficacy of the bacterial suspension was almost same as that of Fenarimol used as a chemical standard. Further experiments for developing a commercial product from the antagonistic bacteria and for elucidating antagonistic mechanism against plant pathogenic fungi are in progress.

The development and commercialization of industrial genetically modified (GM) organisms is actively progressing worldwide, highlighting an increased need for improved safety management protocols. We sought to establish an environmental monitoring method, using real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and propidium monoazide (PMA) treatment to develop a quantitative detection protocol for living GM microorganisms. We developed a duplex TaqMan quantitative PCR (qPCR) assay to simultaneously detect the selectable antibiotic gene, ampicillin (AmpR), and the single-copy Escherichia coli taxon-specific gene, D-1-deoxyxylulose 5-phosphate synthase (dxs), using a direct cell suspension culture. We identified viable engineered E. coli cells by performing qPCR on PMA-treated cells. The theoretical cell density (true copy numbers) calculated from mean quantification cycle (Cq) values of PMA-qPCR showed a bias of 7.71% from the colony-forming unit (CFU), which was within ±25% of the acceptance criteria of the European Network of GMO Laboratories (ENGL). PMA-qPCR to detect AmpR and dxs was highly sensitive and was able to detect target genes from a 10,000-fold (10^-4) diluted cell suspension, with a limit of detection at 95% confidence (LOD_95%) of 134 viable E. coli cells. Compared to DNA-based qPCR methods, the cell suspension direct PMA-qPCR analysis provides reliable results and is a quick and accurate method to monitor living GM E. coli cells that can potentially be released into the environment.

Glyphosate (N-[phosphonomethyl]glycine)를 토마토(Lycopersicon esculentum Mil)의 동화부위(同化部位)에 부분처리(部分處理)하거나 전(全) 식물체(植物體)에 분무처리(噴霧處理)하였을 때 EPSP-synthase의 활성(活性) 감소(減少)가 나타났다. EPSP-synthase의 활성(活性)은 처리된 식물체(植物體)의 엽록소(葉綠素)의 감소보다 시기적으로 먼저 나타나는 현상이었다. EPSP-synthase의 활성(活性)은 glyphosate처리(處理)에 민감한 효소(酵素)로서 토마토의 세포현탁배양조직(細胞顯濁培養組織)과 분열조직(分裂組織)간에는 활성(活性)의 차이가 없없다. EPSP-synthase의 활성은 4-6 nkat/mg protein 정도이었다. EPSP-synthase의 활성(活性)억제는 glyphosate 처리(處理) 36시간 후 부터 나타나기 시작하였고, 엽록소(葉綠素)의 감소는 처리 48 시간 후 부터 나타나기 시작하였다. 세포현탁배양(細胞顯濁培養)에서 치사농도(致死濃度) 이하(以下)에서 glyphosate는 생체중(生體重)을 저하(低下)시켰으며 생육단계(生育段階) 중 lag-phase를 연장(延長)시켜 생육(生育)이 더디도록 하였다. Glyphosate 존재(存在)하에서 생체중(生體重)은 계대(繼代)배양 후 14일이 지난 뒤에 생체중(生體重)이 최고(最高)에 달하였다. EPSP-synthase에 대한 gly-phosate의 억제(抑制)효과는 lag-phase에서 심하게 나타났다.

참당귀 현탁세포배양시 생산되는 ECP는 세포벽을 가수분해하는 효소를 첨가할 경우 그 생산이 증진됨을 확인하였다. Pectinase의 경우 최대 0.97 g/L로 1.39 배, Pectinex의 경우 최대 1.04 g/L로 1.35 배 증진시켰다. Pectinase는 세포벽의 fragment를 방출시켜 세포의 생장과 ECP 생산을 증가시키는 것으로 판단된다. Pectinex는 저농도 (1 FDU U/L)로 처리하였을 경우 세포의 생장과 ECP 생산을 증가시켰다. 고농도로 갈수록 생장에 저해될 만큼의 fragment를 방출시켜 세포의 크기가 작아지면서 생산되는 ECP의 양은 증가되는 것으로 여겨진다. 따라서 세포벽을 가수분해하는 효소는 ECP 생산에 긍정적인 영향을 미친다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

Proteins that are involved in cellular signal cascade experience phosphorylation and dephosphorylation cycles in their tyrosine residue(s) during cell adhesion. In order to identify the protein(s), which tyrosine desidues are specifically phosphorylated when the cells attached to the substrate, we compared the tyrosine phosphorylation level of proteins between suspension and adhered culture condition in rat fibroblast 3Yl cells. We found that a cluster of 70 kDa protein was specifically phosphorylated when the cells adhered to the substrate, but did not effect the cells held in suspension. The phosphorylated protein is identified as paxillin, a focal adhesion protein in immunoprecipitation and immunobloting analysis. These results suggest that the tyrosine phosphorylation of paxillin may play a role in cell-substrate adhesion.

The suspension cells of Taxus cuspidata were transformed with Agrobacterium tumefaciens harboring binary vector pCAMBIE1302 encoding mgfp. Transient transfection efficiency was compared by using the fluoremetric measurement. The transient transfection efficiency was improved by transformation with DMSO and/or sonication treatment. Optimum conditions for DMSO and sonication treatment were 3% and 30sec, respectively. selection and maintenance of transformed cells were continued for 3 months. An insertion of the mgfp gene in transformed cells was detected by PCR and an expression of GFP confirmed by the western blot analysis.
