Two strains were isolated from the vinegar of Korean traditional fermented rice wine and the vine gar of fermented persimmon, respectively. These strains, designated as KM and BPV, were identified as the genus Acetobacter with respect to morphological, physiological, and biochemical characteristics. The Isolates oxidized ethanol to acetate and over-oxidized acetate or lactate to CO2 and H2O. They were positive in catalase test, while being negative in oxidase, gelatin liquefaction, VP test, H2O production and indole formation tests. No ${\gamma}$-pyrones ware produced from glucose and fructose. KM was tolerant of 11% ethanol while BPV was relatively sensitive to ethanol at a higher concentration than 5%. The guanine-plus-cytosine contents of the DNA of KM and BPV strains were 53.8 and 56.6 mol%, respectively. The cellular fatty acid compositions contained in these isolates were saturated straightchain C14:0 and C16:0,, and unsaturated straight-chain C18:1. Major ubiquinone system of KM was Q-9, but that of BPV was Q-10. In morphophysiological and biochemical aspects, KM strain was similar to Acetobacter pasteurianus. However, BPV strain was different from other Acetobacter type strains.

노화현상에 관련된 가설은 프로그램설, 세포손상축적설 등 다양하나 증거와 연구자료가 아직은 불충분하고 미흡하다. 현재 상당한 주목을 받고 있고 또 일견 설득력이 있는 것으로 수용되고 있는 oxygen species에 의한 세포손상축적 가설은 시험관 또는 생체 내에서의 실험과 관측을 통해 연구에 상당한 진전이 있음에도 노화현상을 해석하는 또 다른 실마리에 불과하다. Oxygen radical이 세포내의 거대분자들 중 DNA에 손상과 변이를 일으키거나, 우리기를 수반하지 않는 다른 기작에 의해 조직손상이 일어나면서 세포내의 유리기반응에 이차적 장애가 유도되어 세포내의 분자들이 훼손되거나 변화됨으로서, 이들 손상물이 시간과 더불어 축적하여 신체기능의 퇴행을 수반한 질병과 노화현상이 나타나게 된다는 것이다. 유리기에 대한 효과를 가지는 SOD, catalase, glutathione, peroxidase, metal-chelator와 chain-breaking 효과를 가진 alpha-tocopherol, beta-carotere, urate, ascorbate, ubiquinone, glutathione, protein-thiol 등 항산화물질의 적용과 섭취의 중요성이 인식되었다.

A recent development in cosmetics has been the pursuit of wrinkling in the skin. The cosmetics composed of anti-wrinkle agent stand out from the point of view of environmental contamination and pollution. Among them, Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), studied with wrinkling pigmentation and swelling conditions in the area of the eye, showed clinically significant reduction in depth of lines during one month trial using skin treatment. But, IAA has shown some problems when used in cosmetic formulations, such as stability, permeability and toxicity. The results of the clinical examination were shown that its permeability and toxicity didn't matter. To increase the stability of IAA, antioxidants such as Licorice, ubiquinone, tocopherol, Baicalin, ferulic acid, BHT, ascorbic acid, sodium metabisulfite, and so on were employed in cosmetic formulations. Our main purpose is the study for the stability efficiency and effect of each other of cream formulations containing optimal dosage antioxidants (o/w type emulsion), This study evaluated wrinkle reduction effect of IAA, which is used in cosmetics.

한천, 키틴, 셀룰로오스, 자일란, 만난과 같은 복합다당류들에 대한 분해능을 나타내는 효소들을 생산하는 해양미생물을 홍조류인 Porphyra dentata로부터 분리하였다. 분리균 BK1은 그람음성, 호기성 간균으로 DNA의 G+C함량은 51.6 mol%를 나타내었다. 주요 isoprenoid quinine 구성 성분은 ubiquinone-8로 확인되었고, 주요 세포 지방산은 C16:0, C16:1 w6c, C18:1 w7c로 밝혀졌다. 16S rRNA서열의 비교분석 결과는 분리균 BK1이 Pseudomonas 속의 일원인 것으로 확인되었다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 분리균 BKl은 Pseudomonas sp. BKl으로 명명하였다.

A Gram-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped, nonspore-forming bacterial strain, designated Gsoil $357^T$ was isolated from soil sample of a ginseng field in Pocheon Province (South Korea). The isolate contained Q-8 as the predominant ubiquinone and iso-$C_{16:0}$, iso-$C_{17:1}$ ${\omega}9c$, and iso-$C_{15:0}$ as the major fatty acids. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 69.3 mol%. A phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain Gsoil $357^T$ was most closely related to Lysobacter gummosus (97.6%) and Lysobacter antibioticus (97.6%). However, the DNA-DNA relatedness value between strain Gsoil $357^T$ and its phylogenetically closest neighbors was less than 17%. On the basis of its phenotypic properties and phylogenetic distinctiveness, strain Gsoil 357T should be classified as representing a novel species in the genus Lysobacter, for which the name Lysobacter ginsengisoli sp. novo is proposed. The type strain is Gsoil $357^T$ (=KCTC $12602^T$=DSM $18420^T$).

Two strains of the gram-negative acetic acid bacteria, Acetobacter sp. strain CS2- AND CS5, were isolated form the traditional raw rice wine vinegar of Haenam area. The strains oxidized ethanol to acetic acid and over-oxidized acetate and lactate to $CO^{2}$ and $H ^{2}$O. They produced 2-ketogluconic acid from glucose but did not produce .gamma.-pyrones from glucose and dihydroxyacetone from glycerol. The CS strains possessed ubiquinone-9 as a major isoprenoid quinone and contained straight-chain $C_{18 :1}$, $_C{16 : 0}$, and $C _{14 : 0}$ fatty acids. The DNA base composition of the CS2 and CS5 strains was 56.2 and 57.3 mole% G + C, respectively. The isolates were grown well on methanol, gluconate, erythritol, raffinose, dulcitol and xylitol as sole sources of carbon and energy which are different from those of other Acetobacter species and producedd acid from sucrose, glycerol, fructose, inositol, mannitol, and ribose.

Coenzyme Q는 지용성 퀴논 유도체로서 미토콘드리아의 내막과 원핵생명체의 세포막에 위치하는 전자전달계에서 전자 운반체로 이용되며 또한 항산화제의 기능도 갖는다. Coenzyme Q의 생합성에 관여하는 Saccharomyces cerevisiae의 coq4 유전자에 유사성을 나타내는 Neurospora crassa coq-4유전자를 클로닝하여 S. cerevisiae coq4 돌연변이체에서 기능적으로 발현하였다. 상보된 S. cerevisiae 균주들은 coenzyme $Q_{6}$의 생산능력을 회복하였으며 정상적인 성장률을 보였다. 또한 linoleic acid 및 linolenic acid와 같은 불포화지방산에 대한 낮은 감수성을 보였다. N. crassa의 COQ4 단백질은 39.7 kDa의 분자량을 갖는 347개의 아미노산으로 구성되어 있는 것으로 예상되며, S. cerevisiae의 Coq4p와 35%의 일치도 및 52%의 유사도를 보인다.

A bacterial strain HJ-14 was isolated as a producer of antioxidants from the coast of Jinhae in Korea. The isolate showed 43.4mol% of G+C content, and contained dihydrogenated ubiquinone with Q8 as a major quinone. Chemotaxonomic analysis as well as phylogenetic analysis, based on the 16S rDNA sequence, identified the isolate as a member of Alteromonas macleodii. For antioxidant production, the optimum medium composition was determined to be 3% dextrin, 0.5% ammonium sulfate, and 2-6% sodium chloride. Optimum culture conditions for production of antioxidant materials with strain HJ-14 were at pH 6.0-8.0 and $25-37^{\circ}C$. The chloroform extract of strain HJ-14 broth showed 1.96-17.5-fold higher antioxidant activity than other organic solvents in term of electron donating ability.

The differences in microbial community structures between planktonic microorganism and biofilm in rivers were investigated using respiratory quinone profiles. The compositions of microbial quinone for 4 tributaries of the Kyongan Stream located in/flowing through Yongin City, Gyeonggi-Do were analyzed. Ubiquinone(UQ)-8, UQ-9, menaquinone(MK)-6 and Plastoquinone(PQ)-9 were observed in all samples of planktonic microorganism and biofilm for the sites investigated, Most planktonic microorganism and biofilm had UQ-8(15 to 30%) and PQ-9(over 30%) as the dominant quinone type. These results indicated that oxygenic phototrophic microbes(cyanobacteria and/or eukaryotic phytoplankton) and UQ-8 containing proteobacteria constituted major microbial populations in the river. The quinone concentration in the river waters tested, which reflects the concentration of planktonic microorganisms, increases with increasing DOC. Further research into this is required. The microbial diversities of planktonic microorganism and biofilm calculated based on the composition of all quinones were in the range from 4.2 to 7.5, which was lower than those for activated sludge(ranging from 11 to 14.8) and soils(ranging from 13.4 to 16.8). The use of quinone profile appears to be a useful tool for the analysis of microbial community structure in river.

오래전부터, 많은 여성들은 자신들의 젊음을 연장하고, 외모를 더 아름답게 가꾸고, 이를 죽을 때까지 유지하는 것을 바래왔다. 이에 의사와 약사들뿐만 아니라, 많은 화장품 연구자들도 노화와 관련된 기술개발에 총력을 기울여 왔다. 따라서, 이들 연구자들은 노화방지를 위한 새로운 원료를 찾고, 이를 안정화하고, 피부로 전달하는 기술개발에 항상 관심을 쏟아왔다. 뛰어난 노화방지 화장품 개발을 위해서, Ubiquinone의 일종인 ldebenone에 대해 연구하였고, 이를 비수계 피부유사막 기술을 가지고 캡슐화하고 약물전달하는 연구를 진행하였다. 먼저, 편광현미경(PM, Polarized Microscope), X-선 회절분석(XRD, X-ray Diffractions) 및 시차주사열량계 (DSC, Differential Scanning Calorimetry)를 이용하여 Idebenone을 담지한 피부유사막 액정을 비수계 조건에서 구조 및 열적특성을 조사하였다. 그 결과 비수계 조건에서도 규칙적으로 패킹(Packing)된 지질이중층(Lipid bilayer)과 용매의 연속층으로 이루어진 고밀집된 라멜라(Lamella) 구조의 형성유무와 이때의 상거동을 확인할 수 있었다. 결론적으로 높은 극성도로인해 물분자와 접촉하면 불안정해지는 경향이 있는 Idebenone을 비수계 조건에서 각질층(SC, Stratum Corneum)과 구조 및 조성이 유사한 피부유사막을 디자인하여 안정하게 캡슐화 하였다. 이를 적용한 화장품은 모든 보관조건에서 유화입자의 안정성을 유지함을 확인하였고, Idebenone의 활성역가 또한 $40^{\circ}C$에서 6개월 동안 약 90%이상을 유지하는 우수한 결과를 나타냈다.
