A strain capable of producing thermostable chitinase suitable for chitooligosaccharide production was isolated from high temperature environment and identified as Bacillus licheniformis. The chitinase from Bacillus licheniformis KFB-Cl4 was only induced by addition of colloidal thitin into the basal medium as carbon source, showing the decrease of the chitinase production by supplernental addition of other carbon sources into the medium containing 1.0% colloidal chitin. Among organic and inorganic nitrogen sources, yeast extract was the most effective for the increase of total activity and specific activity, and had high affinity for the enzyme production. The optimum temperature of cell growth and thermostable chitinase production was 55$\circ$C. The optimum culture medium was composed of 1.2% colloidal chitin, 0.15% K$_{2}$HPO$_{4}$, 0.05% KH$_{2}$PO$_{4}$, 0.01% MgSO$_{4}$-7H$_{2}$O, 0.1% yeast extract (pH 6.5). Bacillus licheniformis KFB-C14 produced the thermostable chitinase of 3.89 units per ml culture fluid and 7.4 units per mg protein under rotary shaking at 150 rpm for 40 hr.

국내 사찰에서 제조된 된장으로부터 내열성 ${\alpha}$-amylase 생산균으로 분리된 YB-1234는 형태적 특성, 생화학적 성질 및 16S rRNA 유전자 염기서열에 근거하여 Bacillus licheniformis로 동정되었다. B. licheniformis YB-1234의 ${\alpha}$-amylase 유전자를 클로닝하여 그 염기서열을 결정하였으며 그로부터 유추된 ${\alpha}$-amylase의 아미노산 서열은 glycosyl hydrolase family 13에 속하는 B. licheniformis의 내열성 ${\alpha}$-amylases와 매우 높은 상동성을 보였다. ${\alpha}$-Aamylase 유전자를 함유한 재조합 대장균과 B. licheniformis에 의해 각각 생산된 ${\alpha}$-amylase는 pH 6.0에서 최대활성을 보였으나, 최적 반응온도는 약간의 차이가 있었다. 또한 B. licheniformis로부터 ${\alpha}$-amylase는 재조합 대장균에서 생산된 효소보다 열안정성이 매우 높았다. 이들 효소에 의한 maltotetraose와 maltohexaose의 주된 가수분해산물로는 glucose, maltose 및 maltotriose가 관찰되었다.

Thermostable protease is very effective to improve the industrial processes in many fields. Two thermostable extracellular proteases from the culture supernatant of the thermophilic fungus Chaetomium thermophilum were purified to homogeneity by tractional ammonium sulfate precipitation, ion-exchange chromatography on DEAE-Sepharose, and Phenyl-Sepharose hydrophobic interaction chromatography. By SDS-PAGE, the molecular mass of the two purified enzymes was estimated to be 33 kDa and 63 kDa, respectively. The two proteases were found to be inhibited by PMSF, but not by iodoacetamide and EDTA. The 33 kDa protease (PRO33) exhibited maximal activity at pH 10.0 and the 63kDa protease (PRO63) at pH5.0. The optimum temperature for the two proteases was $65^{\circ}C$. The PRO33 had a $K_m$ value of 6.6mM and a $V_{max}$ value of $10.31{\mu}mol/l/min$, and PRO63 l7.6mM and $9.08{\mu}mol/l/min$, with casein as substrate. They were thermostable at $60^{\circ}C$. The protease activity of PRO33 and PRO63 remained at 67.2% and 17.31%, respectively, after incubation at $70^{\circ}C$ for 1h. The thermal stability of the two enzymes was significantly enhanced by $Ca^{2+}$. The residual activity of PRO33 and PRO63 at $70^{\circ}C$ after 60min was approximately 88.59% and 39.2%, respectively, when kept in the buffer containing $Ca^{2+}$. These properties make them applicable for many biotechnological purposes.

백삼단백질의 가열에 의한 내열특성을 알아보기 위하여 가열시간에 따른 내열성 단백질의 함량과 전기영동패턴을 조사하고, CM-cellose 컬럼크로마토그라피 방법으로 얻어진 분획을 가열하여 내열성 단백질과 비내열성단백질의 이온성분의 단백질함량을 분석하고 분자량을 확인하였다. 그 결과 가열시간에 따른 내열성 단백질의 함량은 주근 중심이 주근 주피보다 전체적으로 높았으며 두부위 모두 가열시간이 90분 이후부터는 감소하는 경향이 커졌다, 가열시간에 따른 내열성 단백질량은 가열시간이 길어짐에 따라 단백질은 감소하였고, 가열시간 30분까지는 66, 45, 29, 24, 22, 20, 12 kD 등 7개의 밴드가 가열시간 60분부터는 분자량 22 kD는 소실되었음이 확인되었다. 단백질 함량은 내열성 단백질이 비내열성 단백질보다 높게 나타났으며, 내열성 단백질 함량은 양이온성 단백성분 분획이 28.24%로 음이온성 단백성분 0.80%보다 훨씬 높았다. 내열성 단백질의 분자량은 66, 55, 36 kD 임을 확인하였다.

A bacterial strain NO. 32 which produced thermostable ${\alpha}$-amylase was isolated from soil and identified to genus of Bacillus. To enhance ${\alpha}$-amylase productivity, a successive mutation of Bacillus sp. No. 32 was attempted with treatment of N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (NTG). The resulting mutant, Bacillus sp. No. 32H417, which is risistant to refampicin and deficient in spore formation, produced about 90-fold high level of ${\alpha}$-amylase when compared with parental strain. The properties of the enzyme for thermostability were investigated. The optimal temperature and pH for enzyme reaction were 95$^{\circ}C$ and pH6.5, respectively, in the presence of 0.3mM $Ca^{2+}$ as an effective stabilizer.

Glutamate dehydrogenase from axenic bacterial cultures of a new microorganism, called GWE1, isolated from the interior of a sterilization drying oven, was purified by anion-exchange and molecular-exclusion liquid chromatography. The apparent molecular mass of the native enzyme was 250.5 kDa and was shown to be an hexamer with similar subunits of molecular mass 40.5 kDa. For glutamate oxidation, the enzyme showed an optimal pH and temperature of 8.0 and $70^{\circ}C$, respectively. In contrast to other glutamate dehydrogenases isolated from bacteria, the enzyme isolated in this study can use both $NAD^+$ and $NADP^+$ as electron acceptors, displaying more affinity for $NADP^+$ than for $NAD^+$. No activity was detected with NADH or NADPH, 2-oxoglutarate and ammonia. The enzyme was exceptionally thermostable, maintaining more than 70% of activity after incubating at $100^{\circ}C$ for more than five hours suggesting being one of the most thermoestable enzymes reported in the family of dehydrogenases.

A bacterium, isolated from rabbit's waste and identified as Cellulomonas sp., had cellulase and thermostable $\alpha$-amylase activity when grown on wheat bran. Maximum activity of thermostable $\alpha$-amylase was obtained by adding $3\%$ soluble starch. However, soybean oil (1 ml $1^{-1}$) could increase the production of $\alpha$-amylase and cellulase in 'wheat bran. The $\alpha$-amylase was characterized by making a . demonstration of optimum activity at $90^{\circ}C$ and pH 6- 9, with soluble starch as a substrate. The effect of ions on the activity and the stability of this enzyme were investigated. This strain secreted carboxymethyl cellulase (CMCase), cellobiase ($\beta$­glucosidase), and filter paperase (Fpase) during growth on wheat bran. Carboxymethy1cellulase, cellobiase, and Fpase activities had pH optima of 6, 5.5, and 6, respectively. CMCase and cellobiase activities both had an optimum temperature of $50^{\circ}C$, whereas Fpase had an optimum temperature of $45^{\circ}C$.

The present study describes the gene cloning and high-level expression of an alkaline and thermostable lipase gene from Trichosporon coremiiforme V3. Nucleotide analysis revealed that this lipase gene has an open reading frame of 1,692 bp without any introns, encoding a protein of 563 amino acid residues. The lipase gene without its signal sequence was cloned into plasmid pPICZαA and overexpressed in Pichia pastoris X33. The maximum lipase activity of recombinant lipase was 5,000 U/ml, which was obtained in fed-batch cultivation after 168 h induction with methanol in a 50 L bioreactor. The purified lipase showed high temperature tolerance, and being stable at 60℃ and kept 45% enzyme activity after 1 h incubation at 70℃. The stability, effects of metal ions and other reagents were also determined. The chain length specificity of the recombinant lipase showed high activity toward triolein (C18:1) and tripalmitin (C16:0).

A thermostable esterase from the hyper thermophilic archaeon Sulfolobus solfataricus was partially purified 590-fold with $16.2\%$ recovery. The partially purified esterase had a specific activity of $29.5\;{\mu}mol\;min^{-1}mg^{-1}$ when the enzyme activity was determined using p-nitrophenyl butyrate as a substrate. The apparent molecular weight was about 100 kDa, while the optimum temperature and pH for esterase were $75^{\circ}C$ and 8.0, respectively. The enzyme showed high thermal stability and solvent tolerance in comparison to its mesophilic counterpart. The enzyme also showed chiral resolution activity for (S)-ibuprofen, indicating that S. solfataricus esterase can be used for the production of commercially important chiral drugs.

In the course of studies on thermostable liquefying amylase from thermostable Bacillus spp., we have isolated a strain which produces amylase activity. This strain was identified to be Bacillus stearothermophlus. The amylase of this strain demonstrated a maximum activity at 65$^{\circ}C$ and Ca$\^$＋＋/ did not improve thermostability of the enzyme although the erzyme was capable of hydrolyzing starch at temperature of 80$^{\circ}C$ and above. The maximum amount of the enzyme was product at pH 7.0, 50$^{\circ}C$.
