V. alginolyticus 138-2, a marine halophilic bacterium, produced an extracellular amylase with a molecular weight of ca. 56,000. The analysis of the digestion products of soluble starch by thin layer chromatography(TLC) revealed that the extracellular amylase of V. alginolyticus 138-2 is a saccharifying-type alpha-amylase. The alpha-amylase activity of the culture supernatant of soluble starch was optimal at pH 6.0 and 45$^{\circ}C$. Ca2+ slightly increased the alpha-amylase activity, whereas Hg2+, An2+, Cu2+, Ni2+, Fe2+, and Mn2+inhibited the enzymatic activity. Alkylating thiol group agent, iodoacetic acid did not affect the alpha-amylase activity, but reduced thiol reagents such as dithiothreitol, cysteine, and beta-mercaptoethanol stimulated theenzymatic activity. On the other hand, even if V. alginolyticus 138-2 is a marine halophilic bacterium, its alpha-amylase activity was significantly inhibited by NaCl.

The enzymatic activity of amylase which was isolated from a shell fish Veneridae Soxidmnus purpuratus Sowerby(Korean name :Gai-jo-gai") was studied and the obtained results were as follows: (1) The optimum pH of the enzyme was Ca. 6.2-6.4. (2) Prohibiting activity of metalic ions for the enzymatic activity was the order of 1/1000M-$Mg^{++}$>1/1000M-$Sr^{++}$>1/1000M-$Na^{+}$, and $Ca^{++}$ ion's prohibiting action was hardly showed. (3) Of 3 specimens of amyiase from Heptapancreas, Gastro-intestine and crystalline style, the highest activity was shown by amylase from crystlline style, and the other two showed almost same degree of activity. (4) Heptapancreas Amylase from the shell fish showed remarkably higher enzymatic activity than the pancreas amylase from a pig.

Two slaughter experiments were conducted to determine the effects of rumen escape starch, by altering dietary starch concentration and corn particle size, on ${\alpha}$-amylase activity in the pancreas and the small intestinal digesta of lambs. In experiment 1, 18 wether lambs (28.5${\pm}$1.6 kg) were fed low, medium or high starch diets for 35 d and slaughtered. Dietary starch concentrations linearly increased rumen escape starch (p<0.05). Pancreatic ${\alpha}$-amylase activity was lower (p<0.05) in lambs fed the low starch diet. When expressed per gram of digesta, ${\alpha}$-amylase activity was lower in lambs fed the low starch diet. However, expressed as total activity, ${\alpha}$-amylase in the digesta was greater in lambs fed the medium starch diet. In experiment 2, 12 wether lambs (23.5${\pm}$0.3 kg) were fed diets with finely cracked corn, coarsely cracked corn and whole corn. These dietary treatments continued for 35 d before tissue collection. Rumen escape starch increased with increasing corn particle size (p<0.05). ${\alpha}$-amylase activity in the pancreas and the small intestinal digesta was significantly greater (p<0.05) in lambs fed the coarsely cracked corn. These data suggest that increasing rumen escape starch results in a quadratic increase in total ${\alpha}$-amylase activity in the pancreas and the small intestinal digesta. Maximum ${\alpha}$-amylase activity is reached when rumen escape starch is about 100-120 g/d in 25-30 kg lambs.

엿기름의 품질 요소인 당화력(DP)은 보리품종에 따라 큰 차이를 나타내 $139{\sim}220^{\circ}L$의 범위에 있었다. 당화력은 ${\alpha}-amylase$ 보다 ${\beta}-amylase$와 높은 상관관계가 있어 엿기름의 ${\beta}-amylase$ 활성이 매우 중요한 인자였으며, 엿기름 첨가에 따른 amylograph 전분기질 점도 감소는 ${\alpha}-amylase$와 관련이 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 보리품종들의 품질요소들을 분석하여 엿기름 당화력과의 상관관계를 조사한 결과 엿기름의 당화력은 원맥의 품질인자와 상관관계가 별로 높지 않았으나 중량이 낮은 품종이나 덜 풍만한 품종에서 당화력이 높은 경향을 보여주었다. 보리원맥이 지니고 있는 ${\beta}-amylase$ 활성은 엿기름의 당화력과 상관관계가 있는 것으로 평가되었으며 엿기름의 당화력을 예측할 수 있는 잠재적인 당화력으로서 엿기름 제조에 매우 유용한 품질인자인 것으로 판단되었다.

Dextrinogenic and glucoamylase activities of Aspergillus isolated from various habitat-substrates collected through South Korea are measured, and their amylase activities are surveyed in taxonomical and ecological viewpoints. 1. A. flavous group and A.wentii group exhibited higher activities for both amylases than others. 2. In the relations between amylase activity of Asperguillus and their habitat-sub-strates, the strains isolated from meju and cereals exhibited predominant dextrinogenic amylase activity. 3. Dextrinogenic amylase activity of Aspergillus is higher in the strains isolated from southern coast than the other regions. 4. Among the 601 strains of Aspergillus surveryed, strain No.74 and strain No.421 exhibited the most predominant activity for dextrinogenic amylase and glucoamylase, respectively.

Effect of plant growth regulators and end-product on the enzyme activities in cotyledons of Vigna angularis during germination was investigated by measuring the changes of $\alpha-amylase$ activities in attached and detached cotyledons applied growth regulators and sugars. The higher levels of $\alpha-amylase$ in detached cotyledons than those in cotyledons attached to the embryonic axis were due to both faster synthesis and slower degradation of the enzyme in the detached cotyledons than in the attached cotyledons. Levels of $\alpha-amylase$ activity were reduced by high concentrations of glucose and sucrose, and it is suggested that this effect was caused mostly by osmotic stress and partly by end-product repression. In detached cotyledons exogenously supplied $GA_3,$ IAA, kinetin, or their combinations has a small promotive effect on the developmental patterns of $\alpha-amylase$ activity ABA and uniconazole both prevented the synthesis of $\alpha-amylase$. Glucose inhibition of enzyme activity was partly reversed by the application of $GA_3,$ and CAMP. $GA_3,$ and cAMP seemed to act through a similar mechanism. The addition of inhibitors of protein and RNA synthesis largely prevented the increase of enzyme activity in the presence or absence of exogenous $GA_3,$. The pretreatment experiments with canavanine indicated that the earlier the time of addition was, the lower the amylase activity was.

Cellulase from Aspergillus niger, (${\alpha}$-amylase from Bacillus sp. and protease from Bacillus globigii were used as enzyme sources in this study to examine how their respective substrates protect them in two kinds of simulated gastrointestinal tract digesting processes. Avian total digest tract simulation test showed that filter paper, Avicel and cellulose resulted in 7.7, 6.4 and 7.4 times more activity than of unprotected cellulose, respectively. Protease with addition of casein, gelatin or soybean protein showed no significant protection response. Starch protected amylase to be 2.5 times activity of the unprotected one. Monogastric animal total tract digestion simulation test showed that filter paper, Avicel and cellulose resulted in 5.9, 9.0 and 8.8 times activity of unprotected cellulase, respectively. Casein, gelatin and soybean protein resulted in 1.2, 1.3 and 2.0 times activity of unprotected protease, respectively. Starch did not protect amylase activity in monogastric animal total tract simulation. Protection of mixed enzymes by substrates in two animal total tract simulation tests showed that filter paper in combination with soybean protein resulted in 1.5 times activity of unprotected cellulose, but all substrates tested showed no significant protection effect to protease. Soybean protein and starch added at the same time protected the amylase activity to be two times of the unprotected one. Test of non-purified substrate protection in two animal total digest tract simulation showed that cellulase activity increased as BSA (bovine serum albumin) concentration increased, with the highest activity to be 1.3 times of unprotected enzyme. However, BSA showed no significant protection effect to protease. Amylase activity increased to 1.5 times as BSA added more than 1.5% (w/v). Cellulase activity increased to 1.5 times as soybean hull was added higher than 1.5%. Amylase had a significant protection response only when soybean hull added up to 2%. Protease activity was not protected by soybean hull to any significant extent.

합성 식물생장조절제인 dimethipin의 작용기작을 밝히고자 보리 무배부 종자 시스템에서 gibberellic acid(GA3)에 의해 유도되는 ${\alpha}-amylase$ 활성에 미치는 dimethipin의 영향을 조사하였다. Dimethipin은 mRNA와 단백질 함량 및 GA3에 의해 유도되는 ${\alpha}-amylase$ 활성을 뚜렷하게 억제하였다. 그러나 억제효과는 GA3 처리 후 dimethipin 첨가시간 간격이 커질수록 점점 감소하였다. Dimethipin을 GA3 처리후 18시간 이내에 첨가하였을 때 mRNA 함량증가를 억제하였다: 그러나 GA3 처리 18시간 경과 후에 첨가하였을 경우에도 수용성 단백질 함량 및 ${\alpha}-amylase$ 활성 증가를 억제하였다. 이러한 결과로 미루어보아 dimethipin은 mRNA 합성과 ${\alpha}-amylase$ 단백질 합성을 공히 억제하는 것으로 사료된다.
