A DNA fragment containing the gene for cell wall hydrolase of alkalophilic Bacillus subtilis BL-29 was cloned into E. coli JM109 using pUC18 as a vector. A recombinant plasmid, designated pCWL45B, was contained in the fragment originating from the alkalophilic B. subtilis BL-29 chromosomal DNA by Southern hybridization analysis. The nucleotide sequence of a 1.6-kb HindIII fragment containing a cell wall hydrolase-encoding gene was determined. The nucleotide sequence revealed an open reading frame (ORF) of 900 bp with a concensus ribosome-binding site located 6 nucleotide upstream from the ATG start codon. The primary amino acid sequence deduced from the nucleotide sequence revealed a putative protein of 299 amino acid residues with an M.W. of 33, 206. Based on comparison of the amino acid sequence of the ORF with amino acid sequences in the GenBank data, it showed significant homology to the sequence of cell wall amidase of the PBSX bacteriophage of B. subtilis.

The complete nucleotide sequence of alkalophilic Bacillus sp. K-17 $\beta$-xylosidase gene and its flanking regions were established. A 1263-bp of an open reading frame for $\beta$-xylosidase was observed. The molecular weight (50, 521 dalton), deduced from the nucleotide sequence of $\beta$-xylosidase gene, agreed with the result obtained by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the purified enzyme (51, 000 dalton). The Shine-Dalgarno sequence, 5'-GAGGAGG-3', was found 8 bp upstream of the initiation codon ATG. The -10 sequence (TAAAAT) in the promoter region for $\beta$-xylosidase gene was similar to the consensus sequence for Bacillus subtilis RNA polymerase, whereas the -35 sequence (TCGATCA) different from all the known -35 regions in the promoter for Bacillus subtilis RNA polymerase.

The conditions for the $\beta$-fructofuranosidase production from alkalophilic, thermophilic Bacillus sp. TA-11 were investigated. The maximal enzyme production was obtained when the strain was cultured at 50$\circ$C for 36 hrs with batch culture in the optimal medium containing 1.0% sucrose, 0.6% yeast extract, 0.1% each of KH$_{2}$PO$_{4}$, K$_{2}$HP0$_{4}$, NaH$_{2}$PO$_{4}$, and initial pH 9.5, and the final enzyme activity under the above condition was 102 units per ml of cell free extract.

토양으로부터 분리한 호알카리성 Bacillus sp. YS-309의 조효소액을 조제하고 제핵산, ammonium sulfate 침전, DEAE-cellulose column chromatography, Sephacryl S-200 gel-filtration, DEAE-Sephadex A-50 chromatography 등을 단계적으로 수행하여 6.9배 정제된 순도 98%의 정제효소를 얻었으며, 활성염색을 실시하여 정제한 효소단백질이 $\beta$-galactosidase임을 확인하였다. 정제효소의 분자량은 205,000으로 monomer의 분자량이 56,000인 동일크기의 tetramer로 구성되어 있다고 판단되었다.

An alkalophilic microorganism for overproduction of cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase) was newly isolated from hot-water spring soil, and identified as Bacillus firmus var. alkalophilus H609. The strain maintained stability during preservation and cultivation for the enzyme production, and produced significant amount of CGTase corresponding to the volumetric activity of 75 units/mL at 37C, initial pH of 11.2, and after 40 hours. The strain excreted several different proteins showing CGTase activity that catalyzed the formation of mainly beta-and Gamma-type cyclodextrin (ratio of 7:1) from soluble starch without accumulation of alpha-type. Other enzymatic properties were also investigated.

The functional characteristics of a ${\beta}$-cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase) excreted from alkalophilic Bacillus sp. BL-31 that is highly specific for the intermolecular transglycosylation of bioflavonoids were investigated. The new ${\beta}$-CGTase showed high specificities for glycosyl acceptor bioflavonoids, including naringin, rutin, and hesperidin, and especially naringin. The transglycosylation of naringin into glycosyl naringin was then carried out under the conditions of 80 units of CGTase per gram of maltodextrin, 5 g/l of naringin, 25 g/l of maltodextrin, and 1 mM $Mn^{2+}$ ion at $40^{\circ}C$ for 6 h, resulting in a high conversion yield of 92.1%.

The gene encoding the bacteriolytic enzyme cell wall peptidoglycan hydrolase from alkalophilic Bacillus sp. was cloned in E. coli using pBR322 as a vector. A recombinant plasmid, designated pYTR451, was isolated and the size of the cloned HindIII fragment was found to be 4.8 Kb. The cell wall hydrolysis activity of an extract of the E. coli harboring the recombinant plasmid pYTR 451 was detected by SDS- polyacrylamide gel containing 0.2% (w/v) purified cell wall of Bacillus sp. The molecular weight of the enzyme was estimated to be about 27, 000 corresponding to the molecular weight of the Bacillus sp. bacteriolytic enzyme. The recombinant plasmid was found to contain the fragment originated from Bacillus sp. YJ-451 chromosomal DNA by Southern hybridization.

Alkalophilic bacteria isolated from compost were selected, identified and tested for production of alkaline protease. The bacterium was tentatively assigned to Bacillus sp. based on the morphological, cultural and biochemical characteristics. The optimum pH of growth was 10 Galactose and Sodium glutamate enhanced the production of alkaline protease. The protease was most active at pH 11.0 and $60^{\circ}C$ and stable in the range of pH 5-11 and temp. $30^{\circ}-55^{\circ}C$. The protease was stabilized by the presence of calcium salts.

An alkalophilic bacterium producing alkaline protease(s) was isolated from soil. It was a Gram-positive, non-sporulating, immotile, irregular rod, strictly aerobic, and weak acid-forming bacterium. The morphological, physiological, and biochemical characteristics of the isolate resembled those of the Coryneform bacteria. However, there was not any species within this genera to which this microorganism can be closely matched. Therefore, it is provisionally identified as a Coryneform bacterium TU-19.

토양으로부터 역가높은 CGTase를 분비하는 호알칼리성 미생물을 분리하였으며, 동정 결과 Bacillus circulans로 판정되었다. 배양액 중의 CGTase를 ammonium sulfate 침전, DEAE-Sephadex 그리고 Sephadex G-100 column chromatography로 분리, 정제하여 단일 단백질 band를 얻었다. 정제된 CGTase의 분자량은 약 93,000, 최적 pH와 온도는 6.0, $50^{\circ}C$였으며, pH와 온도안정성은 5.5-11, $65^{\circ}C$까지였다. Soluble starch를 기질로 할 때의 $V_{max}$ 와 $K_{m}$ 값은 각각 0.16$\mu$mole $\beta$-CD/min, 14.3mg soluble starch/mi이였고 24시간 반응액의 $\alpha$-：$\beta$-:${\gamma}$-CD 의 생성비율은 1：8.1：1.9로서 $\beta$-CD를 우선적으로 합성하였다. 기질로 glucose와 maltose를 사용하였을 때 CD합성작용이 없었으며, sweet potato 그리고 cornstarch를 사용하였을 때 가장 높은 CD합성작용을 보였다. 어느 수준 이상의 과다한 CGTase 첨가경우에는 $\alpha$-CD생성이 급격히 증가하였다. 또한 정제된 CGTase는 stevioside에로의 당전이성을 갖고 있었다.
