지표수-지하수 혼합대는 지표수와 지하수의 수리적 교환이 일어나는 하상의 간극수 지역으로 모든 자연하천에 존재한다. 이 지역은 그동안 다른 특성으로 분리되었던 지표수와 지하수의 전이대로 다양한 미생물이 서식하고 있으며, 하변과는 또 다른 생지화학적인 기작이 일어날 것으로 추정된다. 지금까지의 연구는 미미하지만, 지표수-지하수 혼합대를 고려한 하천 생태 연구는 하천 전체의 생지화학적 기작을 이해하는데 중요한 역할을 할 것으로 보인다. 본 연구 대상 지역은 내성천(경상북도 예천군 고평교 하류 구간)으로 이 하천은 사질 하상이며, 자연이 그대로 보존되어있다고 평가 받는 자연 직할 하천이다. 토양시료는 하변 달뿌리풀(Phragmites japonica) 식생지, 나지, 수변 혼합대와 사주 혼합대 하강류(downwelling), 상승류(upwelling) 지역에서 깊이 별로 채취하여 수분함량, pH 및 용존유기탄소와 같은 토양 이화학적인 분석과 체외 미생물 효소($\beta$-glucosidase, N-acetylglucosaminidase, phosphatase and arylsulfatase) 활성도, 미생물 군집구조(eubacteria, denitrifying bacteria)의 특성을 알아보았다. 실험 결과 수변 및 사주 지표수-지하수 혼합대 토양이 많은 수분을 함유하고 있었고, 수분함량과 용존 유기탄소는 양의 상관관계를 보였으며, 체외 미생물 효소 활성도는 용존유기탄소와 양의 상관관계를 보였다. 진정세균 군집구조 또한 수변 및 사주의 지표수-지하수 혼합대에서 독특한 경향을 보였다. 이와 같은 결과는 지표수-지하수 혼합대를 통해 일어나는 하천의 생지화학적인 순환 전체를 이해하기 위한 기반을 제공한다.

A greenhouse experiment was conducted for evaluation of ecological effects of transgenic melon plants in the rhizospheric soil in terms of soil properties, enzyme activities and microbial communities. Organic matter content of soil under transgenic melon plants was significantly higher than that of soil with non-transgenic melon plants. Significant variations were observed in organic matter, total P and K in soil cultivation with transgenic melon plants. There were also significant variations in the total numbers of colony forming units of fungi, actinomycetes and bacteria between soils treated with transgenic and non-transgenic melon plants. Transgenic and non-transgenic melon significantly enhanced several enzymes activities including urease, acid phosphatase, alkalin phosphatase, arysulphtase, ${\beta}$ glucosidase, dehydrogenase, protease and catalase. Soil polyphenoloxidase activity of $T_1$ transgenic melon was lower than that of $T_0$ transgenic melon and a non-melon plant during the same period. The first generation transgenic melon plants ($T_0$) showed significantly greater (p<0.05) effect on the activitiy of arylsulfatase, which increased from $2.540{\times}10^6CFU\;g^{-1}$ (control) to $19.860{\times}10^6CFU\;g^{-1}$ ($T_0$). These results clearly indicated that transgenic melon might change microbial communities, enzyme activities and soil chemical properties.

Spatial variations of physicochemical and microbiological variables were examined to understand spatial heterogeneity of those variables in intertidal flat. Variograms were constructed for understanding spatial autocorrelations of variables by a geostatistical analysis and spatial correlations between two variables were evaluated by applications of a Cross-Mantel test with a Monte Carlo procedure (with 999 permutations). Water content, organic matter content, pH, nitrate, sulfate, chloride, dissolved organic carbon (DOC), four extracellular enzyme activities (${\beta}-glucosidase$, N-acetyl-glucosaminidase, phosphatase, arylsulfatase), and bacterial diversity in soil were measured along a transect perpendicular to shore line. Most variables showed strong spatial autocorrelation or no spatial structure except for DOC. It was suggested that complex interactions between physicochemical and microbiological properties in sediment might controls DOC. Intertidal flat sediment appeared to be spatially heterogeneous. Bacterial diversity was found to be spatially correlated with enzyme activities. Chloride and sulfate were spatially correlated with microbial properties indicating that salinity in coastal environment would influence spatial distributions of decomposition capacities mediated by microorganisms. Overall, it was suggested that considerations on the spatial distributions of physicochemical and microbiological properties in intertidal flat sediment should be included when sampling scheme is designed for decomposition processes in intertidal flat sediment.

An ex vivo assay determining the flavin-containing monooxygenase (FMO) activity in perfused rat liver has been developed by assessing the rate of thiobenzamide S-oxide (TBSO) formation from the infused thiobenzamide (TB). The hepatotoxicity by TB or TBSO was not a critical factor for maintaining the FMO activity for up to 50 min. The FMO activity expressed in nmoles TBSO produced/g liver/min was the same for the recycling and non-recycling perfusion. This implies that reduction of the oxidized TBSO back to the parent compound (TB) is negligible. Hydrolysis of the collected perfusates with either ${\beta}-glucuronidase$ or arylsulfatase did not increase the TBSO level and thus, TBSO does not appear to undergo conjugation either to glucuronide or sulfate esters. Thus, measuring the rate of TB S-oxidation in the isolated perfused liver with 1 mM TB for 50 min provides a useful tool for evaluation of the hepatic FMO activity in the absence of hepatic necrosis and without the interferences caused by further conjugation or back reduction of the TBSO to the parent TB.

The metabolic profile of doxylamine, N,N-dimethyl-2-[1-phenyl-1-(2-pyridinyl)ethoxy] ethanamine, was determined in the human urine. The free fractions of extracts were obtained without hydrolysis, and the conjugated fractions of extracts were obtained with enzyme hydrolysis using ${\beta}-glucuronidase/arylsulfatase$ from Helix pomatia. The mixture of acetic anhydride/pyridine (10 : 1, v : v) was used to derivatize the urinary extracts and then analyzed by gas chromatography and mass selective detector. N-desmethyldoxylamine, doxylamine carboxylic acid, desaminohydroxydoxylamine, N, N-didesmethyldoxylamine, N-acetyl conjugates of N-desmethyl and N, N-didesmethyldoxylamine, quarternary ammonium N-glucuronide of doxylamine, N-desmethyldoxylamine N-glucuronide and unchanged doxylamine were detected in the human urine obtained after oral treatment with doxylamine succinate. $N-methyl-{\alpha}-hydroxy-2-[1-phenyl-1-(2-pyridinyl)$ ethoxy] ethanamine, which can be a key intermediate of this metabolism, was tentatively identified by the interpretation of its mass spectrum. In this study, we proposed the metabolic pathway of doxylamine in the human on the basis of our data of the identified metabolites of doxylamine.

Soil enzyme and microbial activities are affected by fertilizer and compost applications and can be used as sensitive indicators of ecological stability. Microbial population and soil enzymes viz., dehydrogenase, urease, acid phosphatase and aryl-sulphatase were determined in the long-term fertilizer and compost applied paddy soil. Soil samples were collected from the four treatments (control, compost, NPK and compost+NPK). Long-term NPK+compost application significantly increased activities of urease, dehydrogenase and acid phosphatase than all other treatments. The compost application enhanced activities of urease, dehydrogenase and acid phosphatase than the NPK application. However, arylsulfatase activity was not significantly different between compost and fertilizer application. The highest microbial population was recorded in the NPK+compost treatment. The compost application also resulted in higher microbial population than the NPK application. The above results indicate that ecological stability could be maintained by application of compost alone or with NPK.

${\beta}$-N-Acetyl-D-glucosaminidase B was highly purified with the following sequence of steps; DEAE-cellulose, CM-cellulose, and Sephadex G-200 gel filtration chromatograpies. The specific activity of the purified ${\beta}$ -N-acetyl-D-glucosaminidase B was 2.2 units/mg protein with 12.9 % yield and 196.2 fold purity. The purified ${\beta}$-N-acetyl-D-glucosaminidase B showed single band on polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The final preparation of ${\beta}$ -N-acetyl-D-glucosaminidase B was completely free friom arylsulfatase and ${\beta}$-glucuronidase. ${\beta}$ -N-Acetyl-D-glucosaminidase B had pH optimum of 4.5 in 0.5 M sodium citrate buffer. The molecular weight of ${\beta}$-N-acetyl-D-glucosaminidase B was 133,000 by Sephadex G-200 gel filtration. The Km value of ${\beta}$-N-acetyl-D-glucosaminidase B using p-nitrophenyl-N-acetyl-${\beta}$-D-glucosaminide as substrate was 1.0 mM and $V_{max}$ was 0.014 ${\mu}$ mole/min. ${\beta}$-N-Acetyl-D-glucosaminidase B was stable at $55^{circ}C$ for 70 minutes. The crude ${\beta}$ -N-acetyl-D-glucosamiinidase in 70 % ammonium sulfate retained 93 % activity after 7 months storage at -$55^{circ}C$. Bovine serum albumin, sodium chloride, and phosphate activated ${\beta}$ -N-Acetyl-D-glucosaminidase B. N-Acetyl-D-glucosamine, ${\alpha}$-methyl-D-mannoside, and acetate inhibited ${\beta}$ -N-acetyl-D-glucosaminidase B.

Species of scotochromogenic mycobacteria of Group II isolated from sputa of patients with pulmonary tuberculosis and tuberculosis-like diseases from 1979 to 1984 were identified by simple biochemical tests using. nitrate reduction, Tween-80 hydrolysis, arylsulfatase and urease test, and serotypes of the isolates belonging to M. scrofulaceum were differentiated by bacterial agglutination test. Of 39 strains. tested, 11(28.2%) proved to be M. scrofulaceum, 15(38.5%) M. flavescens and 13(33.3%) M. gordonae. But none of the isolates belonged to M. szulgai and M. xenopi known as major pathogens of mycobacteria of Group II. Of 11 strains of the isolates identified as M. scrofulaceum 3 strains(27.3%) each belonged to serotype 41 and 42, and 4 strains(36.4%) belonged to serotype 43, but one strain was not typable because of its inagglutinability by any one of the type specific sera. In addition, the sensitivity and specificity of rabbit immune sera against type strains of serotype 41, 42 and 43 of M. scrofulaceum were analysed by bacterial agglutination test. In the sensitivity of microplate test with 11 isolates of M. scrofulaceum, a comparative tandem test using 2 units and one unit of absorbed antisera against three serotypes appeared to be superior to a conventional microplate test using one unit of type specific antisera.
