During our search for macrophage stimulating compounds from medicinal plants, we isolated biopolymers from Acanthopanax sessiliflorus. Isolated fraction AS-5 showed maximum potential, and stimulated lysosonal enzymatic activity by 230% at $300\;{\mu}g/ml$. The nitric oxide (NO) producing ability of AS-5 $100\;{\mu}g/ml$ was $58\;{\mu}M$ when treated with interferon-$\gamma$ and lipopolysaccharide $20\;{\mu}g/ml$. The lymphocyte proliferating effects of isolated biopolymer fractions were also investigated. Highest lymphoproliferative activity (a 2.8-fold enhancement compared to saline treated group was exhibited by AS-3 at $200\;{\mu}g/ml$ followed by AS-5 and AS-6. The AS-3 fraction stimulated only T-lymphocytes and had little or no effect on B-lymphocyte proliferation. Partially methylated alditol acetates were prepared to elucidate the glycosyl linkage-compositions of the AS-3 and AS-5 biopolymers, and were analyzed by GC-MS. The AS-3 and AS-5 biopolymer fractions were found to contain 2,3,4-tri-O-methyl-D-glucitol, 2,3,4-tri-O-methyl-D-galacitol 3,4,6-tri-O-methyl-galacitol, 2-O-methyl-arabinitol and 2,4,6-tri-O-methyl-D-glucitol, 2,3,6-tri-O-methyl-D-galacitol linkages, respectively.

흰목이균은 배양 9일째 24mg/25mL로 peak를 나타내고 그 이후의 생장은 완만한 상태를 유지하였으며 단백질 함량은 배양 8일째까지 급속히 0.69㎍/mL으로 peak를 나타내고 그 이후 완만하게 감소하였다. 고온성 흰목이 및 Hypoxylon sp.의 유리당 분석을 sugar alditol acetate 유도체를 GC로 분석하고 HPLC로 80% 메탄올 추출물을 농축한 다음 elution buffer로 녹여 분석한 결과 유리당 중 6탄당인 galactose와 glucose, 5탄당인 fructose, 이당류인 trehalose의 함량을 각각 조사한 결과, 고온성 흰목이의 경우 자실체에는 galactose의 함량이 높았고 균사체에는 이당류인 trehalose가 총 당량 중 42.6%로 높게 나타났다.

계지에서 분리한 보체계 활성화 다당의 보체 활성화양식과 다당의 당쇄결합에 관하여 검토하였다. 계지 보체계 활성화 다당획분들(CC-IIIa, CC-IIIb, CC-IIIc)들은 정상인의 혈청중에 존재하는 주요 보체성분인 C3를 활성화하여 C3a와 C3b 보체 산물을 생성 시켰는데 이 과정은 anti-human C3를 이용한 면역전기영동을 실시하여 확인하였다. $Ca^{++}$ 유무시의 보체계 활성을 측정한 결과 계지에서 분리된 CC-IIIa-3는 고전적 경로(classical pathway)와 부경로(alternative pathway)를 동시에 활성화시킴을 확인하였다. CC-IIIa-3을 메틸화하여 GC/MS로 분석한 결과 비환원 말단의 galactopyranose와 glucopyranose가 확인되었고 1,2-linked rhamnopyranose, 1,6-linked mannopyranose, 1,3-linked glucopyranose, 1,6-linked galactopyranose 등이 확인되었다.

Marine bacterial strains were isolated trom coastal regions of Goa and screened for the strains that produce the highest amount of mucous expolysaccharide (EPS). Our screening resulted in the identification of the strain Vibrio furnissii VB0S3 (hereafter called VB0S3), as it produced the highest EPS in batch cultures during the late logarithmic growth phase. The isolate was identified as VB0S3 based on morphological and biochemical properties. Growth and EPS production were studied in mineral salts medium supplemented with NaCl (1.5%) and glucose (0.2%). The exopolymer was recovered from the culture supernatant by using three volumes of cold ethanol precipitation and dialysis procedure. Chemical analyses of EPS revealed that it is primarily composed of neutral sugars, uronic acids, and proteins. Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy revealed the presence of carboxyl, hydroxyl, and amide groups, which correspond to a typical heteropolymeric polysaccharide, and the EPS also possessed good emulsification activity. The gas chromatographic analysis of an alditol-acetate derivatized sample of EPS revealed that it was mainly composed of galactose and glucose. Minor components found were mannose, rhamnose, fucose, ribose, arabinose, and xylose. EPS was readily isolated from culture supernatants, which suggests that the EPS was a slime-like exopolysaccharide. This is the first report of exopolysaccharide characterization that describes the isolation and characterization of an EPS expressed by Vibrio surnissii strain VB0S3. The results of the study contribute significantly and go a long way towards an understanding of the correlation between growth and EPS production, chemical composition, and industrial applications of the exopolysaccharide in environmental biotechnology and bioremediation.

갈조류인 한국산 곰피(Ecklonia stolonifera)에서 fucoidan을 추출 정제하여 분자 구조적 특성을 조사하고 항혈액 응고 활성을 측정하였다. 건조곰피 20.0kg을 $100^{\circ}C$에서 2시간동안 2회 열수 추출하고 ethanol로 침전시켜 crude fucoidan 151.1g을 얻었다. Crude fucoidan을 염화칼슘과 cetyl pyridium chloride(CPC)로서 정제하여 Fucoidan-1을 얻었고 수율은 35.2%였다. 이 Fucoidan-1을 여러조건하에서 DEAE-Toyopearl 650 M 이온교환 chromatography법을 이용하여 정제한 결과 cellulose acetate 막 전기영동상에서 하나의 band를 나타내는 순도가 높은 곰피 Fucoidan-5을 얻었으며 dextran을 표준품으로 gel filtration chromatography를 행한 결과 분자량은 21,000∼23,000이었다. 곰피 Fucoidan-5의 구성당은 fucose 35.7%와 galactose 4.3%이였고, fucose와 황산기의 mole 비는 약 1 : 1이었다. 적외선 흡수 spectrum 에서 $1240\;cm^{-1}$와 $850\;cm^{-1}$ 부근에서 흡수가 확인되었으며 비선광도가 $-127.2^{\circ}$인 것으로 보아 황산기는 주로 ${\alpha}-L-fucose$의 4번 위치의 탄소에 결합되어 있는 것으로 추정할 수 있었다. 또한 곰피 Fucoidan-5를 methyl화하여 가수분해하고 methyl alditol acetate를 만든 후 gas chromatography를 행한 결과 Fucoidan-5는 주로 황산기를 C4에 가진 fucose가 ${\alpha}l-2$결합 또는 ${\alpha}l-3$결합으로 이루어진 다당류임을 추정할 수 있었다. 곰피 Fucoidan-5의 항 thrombin 활성은 heparin(140 units/mg)의 약 1.4배이었다. 이상의 결과에서 CPC법과 이온교환 chromatography법을 사용하여 갈조류인 곰피로부터 분리 정제한 곰피 Fucoidan-5는 순도가 높은 fucoidan임을 알 수 있었고 수율은 28.1%였다.
