The purpose of this study was to investigate the dyeing properties and anti-microbial ability of silk and wool fabrics dyed with Terminalia chebula Retzius(TCR) extract using two extraction solvent, hot water and methanol. Dyeing properties of fabrics were studied by investigating the characteristics of colorant, changes in dye uptake under different dyeing conditions, and by investigating color change when mordants were applied. Also, color fastness, and antimicrobial activity of dyed fabrics were estimated. Regardless of extraction solvent type, colorant showed maximum absorption wavelength at 280 nm and 578 nm, which implied that tannin was the major pigment component of TCR. Also, through FT-IR spectrum result, it was confirmed that tannin of TCR methanol extract was hydrolysable tannin. But for the hot water extract, it was only assumed that its tannin was condenced tannin. Fabric dyed with hot water solvent extract showed higher dye uptake than fabric dyed with methanol solvent extract, dye uptake increasing by higher concentration of the dye, longer dyeing time and higher dyeing temperature. And the absorption curve between TCR extract and protein fiber was shaped in the form of Langmuir adsorption isotherm. Fabric dyed without mordant was yellow in color, and when dyed with mordant, fabric showed various colors depending on mordant types except Sn. Color fastness to washing was generally fine and color fastness to light was moderate. But color fastness to rubbing and dry cleaning was outstanding. Lastly, dyed fabrics showed very good antimicrobial activity of 99.9% against Staphylococcus aureus and Kiebsiella pneumoniae.

The chromosomal sprD gene encoding Streptomyces griseus protease D (SGPD), a chymotrypsin-like protease, was disrupted in Streptomyces griseus by insertion of the neomysin-resistance gene. The production of chymotrypsin activity of sprD disruptant was not completely abolished, but delayed by 24 h, compared with that of wild-type strain. The aerial mycelial formation of sprD disruptant was retarded, and specifically the formation of spores was not observed in the central region of colonies. However, normal morphological development into spores was observed in the marginal region of colonies. In addition, the production of yellow pigment that might be dependent on A-factor was also decreased in the sprD disruptant, compared with that of the wild-type strain. Introduction of the sprD gene, which was placed on a high copy-numbered plasmid into S. griseus ${\Delta}sprD$, partially restored the ability of morphological development, and a significant level of sporulation was observed. When the overexpression vector for sprD, pWHM3-D, was introduced in S. griseus, there was no significant change in the chymotrypsin activity or colonial morphology, in contrast to Streptomyces lividans, indicating the presence of a tight regulation system for the overexpression of the sprD gene in S. griseus.

Quantum dots (QDs) have received considerable attention due to their potential role in photosensitization during photodynamic therapy. Although QDS are attractive nanomaterials due to their novel and unique physicochemical properties, concerns about their toxicity remain. We suggest a combination strategy, CdSe/ZnS QDs together with curcumin, a natural yellow pigment from turmeric, to reduce QD-induced cytotoxicity. The aim of this study was to explore a potentially effective cancer treatment: co-exposure of HL-60 cells and human normal lymphocytes to CdSe/ZnS QDs and curcumin. Cell viability, apoptosis, reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, and DNA damage induced by QDs and/or curcumin with or without ultraviolet A (UVA) irradiation were evaluated in both HL-60 cells and normal lymphocytes. In HL-60 cells, cell death, apoptosis, ROS generation, and single/double DNA strand breaks induced by QDs were enhanced by treatment with curcumin and UVA irradiation. The protective effects of curcumin on cell viability, apoptosis, and ROS generation were observed in normal lymphocytes, but not leukemia cells. These results demonstrated that treatment with QD combined with curcumin increased cell death in HL-60 cells, which was mediated by ROS generation. However, curcumin acted as an antioxidant in cultured human normal lymphocytes.

충남 대둔산의 토양으로부터 분리한 점액세균을 ARJ라 명명하고 그 특성을 알아보았다. CT 배지에서 swarming을 하며 성장한 이 균주는 slime을 형성하였고, 액체 및 고체배지 상에서 황록색의 색소를 방출하였으며 swarming 부분을 파장이 366 nm인 자외선으로 조사하였을 때 초록색의 형광을 띄었다. 또한 이 균주는 영양분이 고갈되었을 때 fruiting body를 형성하는 것으로 보아 Myxobacteria라고 생각되었으며 주사전자 현미경 관찰 결과 이 균주가 형성한 fruiting body는 stalk이 없었고 naked myxospore를 가지고 있었다. Myxobacteria의 분류에 있어서 가장 중요한 이러한 형태학적 특성들로 볼때 이 균주는 Myxococcus virescens와 가장 유사한 것으로 밝혀졌다. 한편 이 균주는 특히 gram 양성 세균에 대해 antimicrobial activity가 있는 것으로 나타났는데, 여과한 배양 여액에서도 이렇ㄴ activity가 있었지만 비변성 polyacrylamide 전기영동을 하여 본 결과 이 물질이 단백질은 아닌 것으로 밝혀졌다. 또한 이 배양 여액은 상당한 proteolytic activity가 있었으며 최소한 2개의 proteolytic enzyme이 있는 것으로 비변성 polyacrylamide 전기영동을 통하여 밝혀졌다.

An Actinomycetes producing an anti-VRSA (vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) substance was isolated from soil. The cultural, morphological, physiological and phylogenetic analyses of an isolated strain were investigated for identification. Cultural characteristics based on ISP (International Streptomyces Project) were as follows: white aerial mycelium, yellow reverse side, and good growth on various medium. Also, the isolate did not produce the soluble pigment. Morphological characteristics were showed cylindrical spore chain and smooth spore surface by SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope). Physiological characteristics were showed LL-type by DAP isomer analysis and detected glycine, glutamic acid and alanine. A phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rDNA provided a clue that the isolated strain was actually a member of the genus Streptomyces, because the determined sequence exhibited a higher homology with Streptomyces echinatus. The isolate was identified to be a genus of Streptomyces sp.. The optimal culture conditions for the maximum production of anti-VRSA substance by Streptomyces sp. were attained in a culture medium composed of $2.0\%$ (w/v) glucose, and $0.4\%$ (w/v) yeast extract. The anti-VRSA substance was highly produced after 5 days of culture. Optimal pH and temperature conditions for the production of anti-VRSA substance were pH 7.0 and $28^{\circ}C$, respectively.

This manuscript reports on compared color evolution about phase transformation of ${\alpha}-FeOOH@SiO_2$ and ${\beta}-FeOOH@SiO_2$ pigments. Prepared ${\alpha}$-FeOOH and ${\beta}$-FeOOH were coated with silica for enhancing thermal properties and coloration of both samples. To study phase and color of ${\alpha}$-FeOOH and ${\beta}$-FeOOH, we prepared nano sized iron oxide hydroxide pigments which were coated with $SiO_2$ using tetraethylorthosilicate and cetyltrimethyl-ammonium bromide as a surface modifier. The silica-coated both samples were calcined at high temperatures (300, 700 and $1000^{\circ}C$) and characterized by scanning electron microscopy, CIE $L^*a^*b^*$ color parameter measurements, transmission electron microscopy and UV-vis spectroscopy. The yellow ${\alpha}$-FeOOH and ${\beta}$-FeOOH was transformed to ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ with red, brown at 300, $700^{\circ}C$, respectively.

Physiological response of Panax ginseng var. atropurpureacaulo (purple stem variety, Pg) to light was reviewed through old literatures and recent experiments. Canopy structure, growth, pigment, leaf anatomy, disease occurence, transpiration, photosynthesis (PS), leaf saponin, photoperiodism and nutrient uptake were concerned. P. ginseng var. xanthocarpus (yellow berry variety, Px) and Panax quinquefolius(Pq) were compared with Pg if possible. Compensation point(Cp) increased with increase of light and ranged from 110 to 150 at $20^{\circ}C$ but from 140 to 220 at $30^{\circ}C$ with 4 to 15 Klux indicating occurence of light and temperature-dependent high photorespiration. Characteristics of Korea ginseng to hate high temperature was well accordance with an observation 2000 years ago. Korea ginseng showed lower Cp and appeared to be more tolerant to high light intensity and temperature than American sheng although the latter showed greater PS, stomata frequency and conductance, chlorophyll and carotenoids. Px showed lower PS than Pg probably due to higher Cp. Total leaf saponin was higher in leaves grown under high light. Ratio or diol saponin and triol saponin(PT/PD) decreased with increase of light intensity during growing mainly due to decrease of ginsenoside $Rg_1$ but increase of ginsenoside Rd. Leaves of Pg and Px had $Rg_1$ but no $Rb_3$ which was only found as much as $20\%$ of total in Pq leaves, and decreased with increase of light intensity. Re increased in Pg and Px but decreased in Pq with increase of light. PT/PD in leaf ranged 1.0-1.5 in Pg and Px but around 0.5 in Pq. Korea ginseng has Yang characteristics(tolerant to high light and temperature), cultured under Eum(shade) condition and long been used for Yang efficacy (to build up energy) while Pq was quite contrary. Traditional low light $intensity(3-8\%)$ for Korea ginseng culture appeared to be strongly related to historical unique quality. Effect of light quality and photoperiodism was not well known. Experiences are long but scientific knowledge is short for production and quality assessment of ginseng. Recent scientific knowledge of ginseng should learn wisdom from old experiences.

Curcumin의 추출효율은 에탄을 추출방법이 가장 높았고, 항산화효과는 에탄올, 초임계, 열수 추출물 순으로 나타났다. Ames의 mutagenicity test를 실시한 결과 각각의 추출물은 돌연변이원이 없는 것으로 확인되었고, TA98에 직접변이원 2-NF 처리시 초임계 추출물의 저해율이 20.1%로 에탄올과 열수 추출물에 비하여 가장 높은 항돌연변이 효과를 나타냈다. 또한 간접 변이원 2-acetamidofluorene($10\;{\mu}L/plate$; Sigma Co.; 2-AF)에 대한 항돌연변이 효과를 알아본 결과 2-AF로 유도된 TA98은 초임계 추출물을 0.1 mL/plate로 처리시 항돌연변이의 효과는 12.2%였으며, 알코올 추출물과 열수 추출물의 경우는 항돌연변이 효과가 나타나지 않았다. Nitrite의 분해능의 경우에 있어서도 에탄올 및 열수 추출물에 비하여 초임계 추출물이 높은 분해율을 나타냈으며 pH 1.2에서 가장 높은 분해율을 보였다. 이와 같이 초임계를 이용해 추출한 curcumin은 항산화효과, nitrite 분해능, 항돌연변이효과 등에 대한 생리활성 기능을 보였으며, 기존의 에탄올이나 열수 추출법에 비하여 유사하거나 더 높은 생리활성 효과가 나타나기도 했다.
