카드뮴내성균인 Pseudomonas Putida C1의 세포 내 카드뮴 축적기작을 구명하기 위하여 균체내 축적된 카드뮴의 세포 구성성분별 분포도, 단백질 함량변화 및 세포구성물질의 변화를 조사한 결과, 세포내에 축적된 카드뮴의 약 57%는 cell wall에 분포되어 있었으며 약 43%는 cytoplasm에 분포되어 있었다. Cytoplasm에 축적된 카드뮴은 protein과 nucleic acid 두 성분 모두에 분포되어 있었으며, cell wall에 축적된 카드뮴의 약 84% 이상이 polyphosphate-polysaccharide fraction에 분포되어 있는 것으로 나타났다. 세포내 protein 합성에 미치는 카드뮴의 영향을 조사한 결과, 카드뮴 무첨가배지에서 생장한 균체와 카드뮴이 함유된 배지에서 생장한 균체의 세포내 protein 함량은 카드뮴을 첨가함으로써 감소되었으나, ammonium sulfate($30{\sim}75%$ saturation)에 의하여 침전되는 soluble protein의 함량은 카드뮴을 첨가한 배지에서 생장한 균체에서 더 증가되었다. 고분자 가용성 단백질은 카드용 첨가배지에서 배양된 세포가 카드뮴 무첨가 배지에서 배양된 세포에 비하여 증가되었으나, 저분자 단백질 은 감소되었다. 따라서 세포내 protein의 합성은 카드뮴에 의하여 감소되었으나 ammonium sulfate(30-75% saturation)에 의하여 침전되는 고분자 단백질의 합성은 카드뮴에 의하여 촉진되는 것으로 나타났다.

Intracellular synthesis of silver/silver chloride nanoparticles (Ag/AgCl-NPs) using Meyerozyma guilliermondii KX008616 is reported under aerobic and anaerobic conditions for the first time. The biogenic synthesis of Ag-NP types has been proposed as an easy and cost-effective alternative for various biomedical applications. The interaction of nanoparticles with ethanol production was mentioned. The purified biogenic Ag/AgCl-nanoparticles were characterized by different spectroscopic and microscopic approaches. The purified nanoparticles exhibited a surface plasmon resonance band at 419 and 415 nm, confirming the formation of Ag/AgCl-NPs under aerobic and anaerobic conditions, respectively. The planes of the cubic crystalline phase of the Ag/AgCl-NPs were confirmed by X-ray diffraction. Fourier-transform infrared spectra showed the interactions between the yeast cell constituents and silver ions to form the biogenic Ag/AgCl-NPs. The intracellular Ag/AgCl-NPs synthesized under aerobic condition were homogenous and spherical in shape, with an approximate particle size of 2.5-30nm as denoted by the transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The reaction mixture was optimized by varying reaction parameters, including temperature and pH. Analysis of ultrathin sections of yeast cells by TEM indicated that the biogenic nanoparticles were formed as clusters, known as nanoaggregates, in the cytoplasm or in the inner and outer regions of the cell wall. The study recommends using the biomass of yeast that is used in industrial or fermentation purposes to produce Ag/AgCl-NPs as associated by-products to maximize benefit and to reduce the production cost.

It hab been proposed that CHS3-mediated chitin synthesis during the vegitative cell cycle is regulated by CHS4. To investigate direct protein-protein interaction between their coding products, we used yeast two hybrid system and found that a domain of Chs3p was responsible for interaction with Chs4p. This domain, termed MIRC3-4 (maximum interacting region of chs3p with chs4p), spans from 647 to 700 residues. It is well conserved among CHS3 homologs of various fungi such as Candida albicans, Emericella nidulans, Neurospora crassa, Magnaporthe grisea, Ustilago maydis, Glomus versiforme, Exophiala dermatitidis, Rhizopus microsporus. A series of mutaion in the MIRC3-4 resulted in no appearance of chitin ring at the early G 1 phase but did not affect chitin synthesis in the cell wall after cytokinesis. Absence of chitin ring could be caused either by delocalization of Chs3p to the septum or by improper interaction with Chs4p. To discriminate those two, not mutually exclusive, alternatives, mutants cells were immunostained with Chs3p-specific antibody. Some exhibited localization of chs3p to the septum, while others failed. These results indicate that simultaneous localization and activation Chs3p by Chs4p is required for chitin ring synthesis.

Phospholipids are crucially important in a cell membrane function and could thereby influence antibiotic susceptibility. In order to investigate the antifungal mechanism the total lipid was extracted from C. albicans treated with citronellol or thymol in concentration of their minimum inhibiting concentration and the changes in phospholipids composition were analyzed using ketoconazole as control. The cell growth and total lipid synthesis in cell walls of C. albicans were inhibited by treatment with citronellol. The levels of total lipids were decreased by 35.85% compared to the control. They also showed a significant decrease in the contents of phospholipid, phosphatidylcholine(PC), phosphatidyl ethanolamine(PE) and phosphatidylinositol(PI). As the result of GC assay for total fatty acid methyl esters of PC, PE and PI in C. albicans treated with citronellol, it was found that the major fatty acid composed of three phospholipid were palmitic acid, stearic acid and oleic acid. Moreover, the pattern of the fatty acid compositions of PC, PE and PI were changed by the oil. Based on the results, the anti-Candida mechanism of citronellol or thymol might be closely associated with disrupting the permeability barriers of the fungal cell wall composition or construction.

Streptanthus 조직배양 세포에서 유조직 세포로부터 사부 세포의 발달 동안 설탕 운반자는 유도되었고, 단당류인 포도당의 운반자는 사라졌다 (Cho 1998). Streptanthus 조직배양 세포에서 유도된 사부영역과 사공은 sieve endoplasmic reticulum (SER)과 p-protein 합성이 거의 완성되는 시기에 형성되며, SER이 새로 합성된 세포벽을 에워싼 후에 세포벽이 분해되기 시작하였다. 세포벽의 분해와 사공의 형성은 비교적 규칙적으로 진행되었다. 사공의 모양은 계란형이었고, 사공의 외부크기는 세로 1.2 $\mu\textrm{m}$~l.6 $\mu\textrm{m}$, 가로 0.8 $\mu\textrm{m}$~l.3 $\mu\textrm{m}$, 다양하고 사공의 내부크기는 별모양과 유사한 불규칙한 형태였다. 두 사부세포 사이에서 사공의 수는 $\mu\textrm{m}$$^2$당 2개~7개였고, 육상체를 포함한 사공벽에 두께는 0.05 $\mu\textrm{m}$~0.07 $\mu\textrm{m}$,의 두꺼운 벽으로 구성되었다. 사공영역과 사공의 형성에 필요한 에너지는 세포벽 가까이에 위치하고 있는 미토콘드리아에서 얻을 것으로 추측하며, 사공 형성에 대한 SER의 역할은 아직까지 설명할 수 없었다.

큐티클리층이 제거된 해바라기(Helianthus annuus L.) 하배축 절편의 오옥신(IAA, $10\;\mu\textrm{M}$) 유도 신장 반응에 있어서 RNA, 단백질 합성 및 세포벽으로의 $H^{+}$ 방출과의 관계에 대해 조사하였다. 하배축의 표피조직 바깥에 있는 큐티클층은 실험에 사용하는 여러 가지 대사억제제에 대해 어느 정도 불투과성 장벽으로 작용하여 억제제의 효과를 저하시키지만, 곱게 간 석영사로 하배축 절편을 문질러서 큐티클리층을 제거하였을 때 억제제들의 효과는 현저하게 증가하였다. 단백질 합성 억제제인 cycloheximide (CHI, $10\;\mu\textrm{M}$)는 5분 정도의 지연시간 뒤에 IAA유도 신장반응을 억제하기 시작하였으며, 신장 반응 4-5분 전(IAA처리 10분 뒤)에 처리하였을 때 IAA에 의한 신장반응을 완벽하게 억제하였다. 그러나 신장률이 정상상태를 유지하고 있는 IAA처리 60분 뒤에 CHI를 처리하였을 때는 신장률이 0에 이르기까지 60분 이상이 걸렸다. RNA합성 억제제인 cordycepin(COR, $200\;\mu\textrm{M}$)은 IAA보다 5분 먼저 처리하였을 때 신장반응을 완전히 억제하였으며, 정상상태의 신장을 완전히 억제하는 데는 70분 이상이 걸렸다. 원형질막 $H^{+}-ATPase$의 활성을 저해하는 vanadate(1 mM)는 IAA유도 신장과 세포벽으로의 $H^{+}$ 방출을 통한 배양액의 산성화를 모두 억제하였다. 또한 CHI는 완벽하게 COR 역시 현저하게 IAA에 의한 $H^{+}$ 방출을 억제하였다. 그러나 산성용액속에서, CHI에 의한 IAA 유도 신장의 억제가 다시 회복되지 않는 것으로 보아 CHI가 단순히 세포벽의 산성화를 억제하여 신장을 저지하는 것 같지는 않다. 이상의 결과에서 해바라기 하배축의 IAA유도 신장 반응의 시작과 세포벽으로의 $H^{+}$ 방출에는 단백질(생장제한 단백질)의 합성이 필요하며 이 단백질은 신장이 시작하기 전에는 존재하지 않고 IAA에 의한 신장 반응 및 분전에 새로 합성됨을 추측할 수 있다. 그리고 COR이 IAA 유도 신장을 억제한다는 것은 IAA에 의한 생장제한 단백질의 합성이 RNA합성 수준에서 이루어진다는 것을 의미한다. 또한 신장 반응에는 세포벽으로의 $H^{+}$ 방출이 필요하나 이는 단순히 세포벽의 산성화를 통한 산성생장의 원인이 되는 것 같지는 않다.

The results that the effect of 6 detergents on the structural changes and biochemical composition of bacterial membrane of Escherichia coli and Bacillus cereus are as follows ; 1. Population growth of the bacteria was increased in case of the treatment with palmitoyl carnitine and sodium deoxy cholate but was increased in case of the treatment with palmitoyl carnitine and sodium deoxy cholate but was decreased by sodium dodecyl sulfate and palmitoyl choline, in E.coli and was decreased by palmitoyl carnitine and palmitoyl choline at the low concentration, in B. cereus. 2. The electron micrograph showed that cell wall lysis or cell collapse were observed in the treatment of sodium dodecyl sulfate and palmitoyl choline, and also cell wall was condensed by triton X-100 and sodium deoxy cholate, in E.coli. And in B. cereus, endospore formation of the bacteria was stimulated by palmitoyl choline, and cell lysis or structural changes of the membrane were observed in the treatment of sodium dodecyl sulfate, sodium cholate, and triton X-100, respectively. 3. As to the effect of detergent on the biochemical composition of biomembrane, the content of carnitine, in E.coli, and B.cereus, the content of structural protein and phospholipid were decreased by treatment of sodium dodecyl sulfate and structural protein was denatured by palmitoyl choline. 4. The profile of membrane protein revealed that the bacterial membrane were composed of various proteins. By dint of this result, some of membrane proteins were solubilized or changed to small molecules by the treatment of sodium dodecyl sulfate and palmitoyl choline, in E.coli and membrane protein of the biomembrane by treatment of sodium dodecyl sulfate, sodium deoxy cholate, palmitoyl choline, and palmitoyl carnitine were confirmed to be different profile as compared with those of the control, in B. cereus. Therefore, it is suggested that sodium dfodecyl sulfate and palmitoyl choline soulbilized biomembranes or inhibited membrane transport and that palmitoyl carnitine and sodium deoxy cholate were used as an energy source or stimulating the membrane transport, in E.coli. And, it is suggested that all of detergents were inhibited biomembrane synthesis, expet saponin, in B.cereus.

The emergence of multidrug-resistant microorganisms, as well as fungal infectious diseases that further threaten health, especially in immunodeficient populations, is a major global problem. The development of new antifungal agents in clinical trials is inferior to the incidence of drug resistance, and the available antifungal agents are restricted. Their mechanisms aim at certain characteristics of the fungus in order to avoid biological similarities with the host. Synthesis of the cell wall and ergosterol are mainly targeted in clinical use. The need for new approaches to antifungal therapeutic agents or development alternatives has increased. This review explores new perspectives on mechanisms to effectively combat fungal infections and effective antifungal activity. The clinical drug have a common feature that ultimately causes caspase-dependent cell death. The drugs-induced cell death pathway is associated with mitochondrial dysfunction, including mitochondrial membrane depolarization and cytochrome c release. This mechanism of action also reveals antimicrobial peptides, the primary effector molecules of innate systems, to highlight new alternatives. Furthermore, drug combination therapy is suggested as another strategy to combat fungal infection. The proposal for a new approach to antifungal agents is not only important from a basic scientific point of view, but will also assist in the selection of molecules for combination therapy.

The attachment of 2-aminobenzamide to carboxylated multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs)-COOH was achieved through the formation of amide bonds. Then, the functionalized MWCNTs, MWCNT-amide, were treated by phosphoryl chloride to produce MWCNT-quin. The products were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, derivative thermogravimetric, steady-state fluorescence spectroscopy, and solubility testing. MWCNT-quin showed photo-electronic properties, which is due to the attachment of the 4-hydroxyquinazoline groups to them as proved by steady-state fluorescence spectroscopy. This suggests intramolecular interactions between the tubes and the attached 4-hydroxyquinazoline. The toxicity of the samples was evaluated in human embryonic kidney HEK293 and human breast cancer SKBR3 cell lines, and the viable cell numbers were measured by 3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) after the cells were cultured for 24 h. Cellular investigations showed that the modified MWCNTs, particularly MWCNT-quin, have considerably significant toxic impact on SKBR3 as compared to HEK293 at the concentration of 5 µg/mL.
