  • The degree of autolysis and presence of cell-wall degrading enzymes in an anaerobic ruminal fungus, Piromyces communis OTSI, grown in liquid medium, was monitored to evaluate the effect of self-digestion on fungal biomass. After a 30 days incubation period fungal dry weight decreased by 45% and the cell wall component chitin decreased by 22%. Chitinase activity detected in the supernatant was mainly of the endotype and peaked at day 6 of the incubation. ${\beta}-1$, 3-glucanase was detected from day 4 and increased throughout the incubation period. Autolysis was a slow process, and under natural conditions it is unlikely that it plays a significant role in the degradation of the spent fungal vegetative stage in the rumen.

  • To evaluate the effect of reed population on the distribution and activities of microorganisms, vertical distribution of heterotrophic bacteria, degradation rate of cellulose, extracellular aminopeptidase activity (APA) and metabolic diversity based on GN2 Microlog plate were measured at two salt marsh stations in Hogok-ri, Namyang Bay, west coast of Korea. The number of heterotrophic bacteria at station 1 (reed population inhabited area) showed 2 to 6 times higher than that of station 2 (exposed area) with exception in the surface layer. Cellulose degradation rates in station 1 showed more than 50%. month-I and higher than that of station 2 (10.2 to 38.4%. $month^{-1}$). Yet the APA at two stations did not show difference except surface layer and suggested that APA might not be a significant factor in degrading marsh plant debris. Lipid class compounds, cell wall polymers and L-alanine were widely used by microorganisms. The number and activities of bacterial populations especially concerned in plant debris degradation seemed to be stimulated by the reed communities.

  • 먹물버섯의 하나인 Coprinellus congregatus에서는 자실체가 성숙된 후 곧 자가분해되어 먹물로 전환된다. 이 자가분해 과정과 관련된 가수분재 효소의 역할을 이해하기 위한 첫 단계로서, 자가분해과정과 연관된 미세구조의 변화를 전자현미경으로 조사하였다. 자실체의 성숙과정에서 자실층과 자실하층에 존재하는 모든 세포질은 새로운 포자의 형성을 위하여 포자로 이동되는 것으로 보인다. 조직 내의 세포질의 고갈과 포자의 완성은 조직 내의 세포벽의 분해를 야기하는 것으로 보이며, 자실층과 자실하층의 세포벽은 동시적으로 분해 되는 것으로 생각된다. 본 연구는 먹물버섯의 자가분해가 세포질의 분해가 아닌 세포벽의 분해과정에 의한 것임을 보여 주었으며, chitin 분해효소와 같은 가수분해 효소의 중요성을 제시하였다.

  • Cell lytic enzyme, 5'-phosphodiesterase, and AMP-deaminase were used to produce yeast extract as a natural seasoning from beer yeast cells. Prior to the addition of cell lytic enzyme, heat treatment was performed to increase the cell wall degradation` the optimum condition of the cell lytic enzyme was 50C at pH 7.0. The production yields by the enzymatic method and conventional autolysis method were 42% and 35%, respectively. The total quantity of 5'-nucleotides, GMP and IMP, produced by enzymatic method was increased by 45% than that by the conventional method. Futhermore, the operation time of enzymatic method was only 6.5 hrs, significantly reduced from 24 hrs of the conventional method.

  • 감의 연화에 따른 세포벽다당류의 조성과 함량 및 gel여과를 통한 개략적인 분자량의 변화를 조사하였다. 조세포벽의 함량은 연화된 감에서 현저히 감소되었는데 구체적으로 ionically associated pectin (IAP )은 59%, covalently bounded pectin (CBP)은 60%, $0{\sim}3N$ KOH soluble hemicellulosic fraction($HF_2$)은 74%가 감소된 반면 4N KOH soluble hemicellulosic fraction($HF_2$)과 cellulosic fraction(CF)은 큰 변화가 없었다. 신선한 감과 연화된 감의 IAP와 CBP 구성다당류의 조성은 uronic acid외에 hemicellulose에 유래한 Pentose와 hexose가 함유되어 있었고 연화에 따라 IAP에서는 pentose가 CBP에서는 hexose가 감소되었다. 개략적인 분자량은 IAP의 400만과 25만의 Peak이 130만과 6만으로, CBP의 경우는 400만이상의 Peak이 60만과 20만으로 CBP에서의 저분자화 정도가 현저하였다. $HF_1$$HF_2$ 역시 polyuronide의 함유율이 높았는데, $HF_2$가 현저하였다. 또 연화에 따라 $HF_1$은 pentose가 $HF_2는$ uronic acid와 hexose의 손실율이 높았다. $HF_1$의 연화에 따른 재략적인 분자량은 200만의 peak이 2개로 분리 되었고 $HF_2$는 수백만 단위의 거대분자가 만단위까지 저분자화 하였다. 이상의 결과에서 감의 연화는 CBP에 인결된 hemiceldlose중 특히 $HF_2$의 저분자화와 CBP자체의 분해 내지가용화 현상과 밀접한 관련이 있는 것으로 판단되었다.

  • The present study is of ultra-fine structure of Cryptococcus neoformans by means of electron microscopy and reveals the following : 1) In constrast to the bacteria, the normal Cryptococcus neofrmans contains nuclear enveloped with nuclear menbrane, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, distinct cell wall and cell membrane, vacuoles and storage granules as observed in the eucaryotic cells. 2) In apparent cell walls and cell membrane with the appearance of electron transparent area (ETA) and changes of cell morphology were observed in the ultra-violet ray irradiated cell. 2) In apparent cell walls and cell membrance with the appreance of electron transparent area (ETA) and changes of cell morphology were observed in the ultra-violet ray irradiated cell. 3) Morphology changes and cytoplasmic element abnormality was increased with irradiated time. 4) Increase of electron transparent area was thought to be associated with degradation of cell.

  • In this Experiment three wether male Matou goats (♂), all fitted with permanent rumen fistulae, were used to study the rumen degradabilities (incubation time 48h) of dry matter (DM), neutral detergent fibre (NDF), acid detergent fibre (ADF), acid detergent ligin (ADL), cellulose (CEL) and hemicellulose (HC) and their contents of wheat and rice straws were determined for the different morphological fractions and segments. The results showed that the variation of different fractions for wheat and rice straw is the true resources of their nutritive value variation and the cell wall contents of wheat and rice straw are also obviously different. The rumen degradabilities of different straw fibre are significantly different (p<0.01), mean while the effect of straw variety is also significant (p<0.05). The aim was to set up a foundation for studying the rumen degradation of the roughage resources.

  • Microbes is becoming increasingly forensic possibility as a consequence of advances in massive parallel sequencing (MPS) and bioinformatics. Human DNA typing is the best identifier, but it is not always possible to extract a full DNA profile namely its degradation and low copy number, and it may have limitations for identical twins. To overcome these unsatisfactory limitations, forensic potential for bacteria found in evidence could be used to differentiate individuals. Prokaryotic cells have a cell wall that better protects the bacterial nucleoid compared to the cell membrane of eukaryotic cells. Humans have an extremely diverse microbiome that may prove useful in determining human identity and may even be possible to link the microbes to the person responsible for them. Microbial composition within the human microbiome varies across individuals. Therefore, MPS of human microbiome could be used to identify biological samples from the different individuals, specifically for twins and other cases where standard DNA typing doses not provide satisfactory results due to degradation of human DNA. Microbial forensics is a new discipline combining forensic science and microbiology, which can not to replace current STR analysis methods used for human identification but to be complementary. Among the fields of microbial forensics, this paper will briefly describe information on the current status of microbiome research such as metagenomic code, salivary microbiome, pubic hair microbiome, microbes as indicators of body fluids, soils microbes as forensic indicator, and review microbial forensics as the feasibility of microbiome-based human identification.
