사탕무즙을 이용한 알콜생산에서 배출되는 증류폐액(sugar beet stillage)을 기질로 고온성 효모인 Candida rugosa, Kl. marxianus, C. utilis를 이용해 단세포단백질을 생산 할 때 균체 생산량 및 COD 감소를 연구하였다. pH가 높아짐에 따라 균체생산량은 증가했으나 단백질 함량은 오히려 감소하였다. 조단백질생산량은 3.68g/l로 C. rugosa 가 가장 높았고 이어서 C. utilis가 2.90g/l, Kl. marxianus가 2.30g/l로 나타났다. 감소한 증류폐액기질의 COD값에 대한 조단백질생산량비율도 C. rugosa가 0.35~0.39g/l를 나타내 가장 높은 값을 보여주어 사탕무우알콜증류폐액을 기질로 이용한 단세포 단백질 생산에 있어서 종균으로서 우수성을 보여주었다.

CodWX, encoded by the cod operon in Bacillus subtilis, is a member of the ATP-dependent protease complex family, and is homologous to the eukaryotic 26S proteasome. It consists of two multimeric complexes: two hexameric ATPase caps of CodX and a protease chamber consisting of CodW dodecamer. Prior structural studies have shown that the N-terminal threonine residue is solely functional as a proteolytic nucleophile in ATP-dependent proteases such as HslV and certain β-type subunits of 20S proteasome, which have a primary sequence similarity of -50% and -20% with CodW respectively. Here we present a 3.0 Å resolution crystal structure of CodW, which is the first N-terminal serine protease among the known proteolytic enzymes. In spite of the same fold and the conserved contacts between subunits with HslV in E. coli and H. influenza, this structure shows the five additional residues extending from conserved Thr1 among the other ATP-dependent pretense and extraordinary basic proteolytic chamber.

CodY is a highly conserved protein in low G+C gram-positive bacteria that regulates genes involved in sporulation and stationary-phase adaptation. Bacillus thuringiensis is a grampositive bacterium that forms spores and parasporal crystals during the stationary phase. To our knowledge, the regulatory mechanism of CodY in B. thuringiensis is unknown. To study the function of CodY protein in B. thuringiensis, BMB171codY^- was constructed in a BMB171 strain. A shuttle vector containing the ORF of cry1Ac10 was transformed into BMB171 and BMB171codY^-, named BMB171cry1Ac and BMB171codY^-cry1Ac, respectively. Some morphological and physiological changes of codY mutant BMB171codY^-cry1Ac were observed. A comparative proteomic analysis was conducted for both BMB171codY^-cry1Ac and BMB171cry1Ac through two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and MALDI-TOF-MS/MS analysis. The results showed that the proteins regulated by CodY are involved in microbial metabolism, including branched-chain amino acid metabolism, carbohydrate metabolism, fatty acid metabolism, and energy metabolism. Furthermore, we found CodY to be involved in sporulation, biosynthesis of poly-β-hydroxybutyrate, growth, genetic competence, and translation. According to the analysis of differentially expressed proteins, and physiological characterization of the codY mutant, we performed bacterial one-hybrid and electrophoretic mobility shift assay experiments and confirmed the direct regulation of genes by CodY, specifically those involved in metabolism of branched-chain amino acids, ribosomal recycling factor FRR, and the late competence protein ComER. Our data establish the foundation for in-depth study of the regulation of CodY in B. thuringiensis, and also offer a potential biocatalyst for functions of CodY in other bacteria.

Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) have gathered attention as a novel bioenergy technology to simultaneously treat wastewater with less sludge production than the conventional activated sludge system. In two different operations of the MFC and aerobic process, microbial growth was determined by the protein assay method and their biomass yields using real wastewater were compared. The biomass yield on the anode electrode of the MFC was 0.02 g-COD-cell/gCOD-substrate and the anolyte planktonic biomass was 0.14 g-COD-cell/g-COD-substrate. An MFC without anode electrode resulted in the biomass yield of 0.07 ± 0.03 g-COD-cell/g-CODsubstrate, suggesting that oxygen diffusion from the cathode possibly supported the microbial growth. In a comparative test, the biomass yield under aerobic environment was 0.46 ± 0.07 g-COD-cell/g-COD-substrate, which was about 3 times higher than the total biomass value in the MFC operation.

In order to utilize marine processing waste which would normally be discarded, cod liver protein was hydrolysed by ${\alpha}$-chymotrysin, and the hydrolysate was investigated for the new angiotensin I converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor. Thy hydrolysate was separated into three major types, with molecular weight cut-off (MWCO) values less than 10 kDa, 5 kDa and 1 kDa of ultrafiltration membranes, respectively. ACE inhibitory peptides were isolated from the fractions passed through MWCO 1 kDa membrane, and purified by using ion-exchange chromatography on a SP-Sephadex C-25 column, gel filtration on a Sephadex G-15 column, and HPLC on an ODS column. The purity was identified with capillary electrophoresis. The amino acid sequences of two peptides were Met-Ile-Pro-Pro-Tyr-Tyr (IC50=10.9 ${\mu}$M) and Gly-Leu-Arg-Asn-Gly-Ile (IC50=35.0 ${\mu}$M)

사탕무즙을 이용한 알콜생산에서 배출되는 증류폐액(sugar beet stillage)을 기질로 고온성 효모인 Candida rugosa를 이용해 단세포단백을 생산 할 때 기질의 최적화와 COD 감소를 연구하였다. 인의 첨가는 실험에 사용된 3가지 모든 시료기질에 꼭 필요한 것으로 나타났고 질소첨가는 기질의 잔당농도가 높을 경우에 필요하였다. 모든 시료에 있어서 인의 첨가는 생균생산율(Biomass production)을 23-61% 까지 크게 높였다. 이에 비해 질소의 첨가는 잔당함량이 높을 경우 생균생산율을 약간 상승시켰으나 질소와 함께 첨가할 경우 90%까지 크게 높였다. COD는 인의 첨가로 인해 26-46%까지 더 감소되었으며 질소와 함께 첨가할 경우 85%까지 크게 감소되었다.

Yeast fermentation at $40^{\circ}C$ was conducted for microbial protein production and COD reduction in three different sugar beet stiIlages by a thermo- and acid-tolerant yeast Candida rugosa isolated from East Africa. The assimilation proceedings of some main components such as protein, carbohydrate, total titrable acids and glycerol in stillages were observed with growth kinetics of the yeast. Most of glycerol and organic acids were rapidly assimilated at the beginning of the fermentation. Protein assimilation was slowly accelerated with the proceeding of fermentation time and its assimilation rate reached only 14.2%-28.4%. Though Candida rugosa was a flocculent yeast, the flocculation characteristics of the yeasts grown in three stillages were different from each other.

The spectroscopic characteristics and chemical oxygen demand (COD) oxidation efficiencies were investigated for dissolved organic matters (DOM) from diverse sources, which may indirectly affect the concentrations and the quality of DOM found in watersheds. The DOM investigated for this study showed a wide range of the percent distributions of refractory organic matter (R-OM) from 8 to 100%. Relatively high R-OM distributions were observed for the DOM with the source of head water, sediments, paddy soils, field soils, and treated sewage whereas the DOM from livestock waste, reed, weeds, algae, and attached algae exhibited lower R-OM percent distributions. The percent distribution of R-OM had positive correlations with specific UV absorbance (SUVA) and humidification indices (HIX) of DOM. The investigated DOM was classified into four different source groups (i.e., biota, vegetables, soils, sediments) by comparing the synchronous fluorescence spectra. The DOM group from biota source was characterized by a prominent presence of protein-like fluorescence (PLF) whereas fulvic-like fluorescence (FLF) was additionally observed for vegetable-source DOM. FLF became significant for the DOM from both soils and sediments although no PLF was found for soil-derived DOM. A range of COD oxidation efficiency was observed for the various DOM, ranging from 36 to 94% and from 65 to 125% for $COD_{Mn}$ and $COD_{Cr}$, respectively. The results indicate that $COD_{Cr}$ reflects the higher OM concentration than $COD_{Mn}$. However, 95% confidence intervals of the COD oxidation efficiencies were similar for the two types of COD, suggesting that $COD_{Cr}$ may not be the superior OM index to $COD_{Mn}$ in terms of the variability of the oxidation efficiency. No significant correlations were obtained between COD oxidation efficiencies and the spectroscopic characteristics of DOM for this study.

본 연구에서는 폐기되거나 사료로 이용되고 잇는 대구 frame에 다량으로 포함되어 있는 단백질로부터 쓴맛이 없는 효소분해 간장을 개발하기 위해 참치유문수 유래의 조효소를 추출하고 이를 이용하여 대구 frame을 가수분해 시켰으며, 한외여과막을 사용하여 분자량별로 분획하여 조미간장을 제조한 후 간 장으로서의 이용가능성을 검토하였다. 한외여과막을 사용하여 분자량별로 분획한 각각의 가 수분해물들은 25,000 kDa 이하에서 서로 유사한 분자량 분포를 보였으나, 분획에 사용된 막 의 한계분자량에 따라 분포 비율은 서로 차이를 보였다. 또한, 아미노산의 조성분석에서도 각 가수분해물에 포함되어 있는 아미노산의 함량 차이는 거의 없었으나, 1 K 가수분해물에 서 유리아미노산의 함량이 상대적으로 높았다. 분자량별로 분획된 TPCCE 가수분해물들의 관능평가 결과 1 K 가수분해물이 모든 항목에서 가장 우수한 것으로 나타났으며, 이를 원 료로 하여 효소분해간장을 만들어 다시 관능평가한 실시한 결과, 1 K 가수분해물로 제조한 간장은 육단백질을 효소분해할 때 나타나는 쓴맛은 사라졌지만 시판용 간장과 맛의 비료평 가에서 약간 낮은 점수를 얻었다. 그러나 효소분해간장 원액을 시판 양조간장과 일정한 비 율로 섞어 관능평가를 실시하였을 때는 모든 항목에서 우수한 점수를 얻었다. 따라서, 1 K 가수분해물로 제조한 효소분해간장과 양조간장을 일정비율로 혼합할 경우, 현재 시판되는 산분해 혼합간장의 안정성을 향상 시킬 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
