Chicory 뿌리에서 Arthrobacter sp. A-6를 배양하여 inulin fructotransferase를 생산하였을 매 균주의 성장속도, 효소의 생산성을 검토하였다. 가공된 치커리 뿌리는 inulin fructotransferase의 crude enzyme solution으로 처리하였을 때 생산되는 di-fructofuranose dianhydride(DFA III)의 양을 chicory 뿌리의 가공방법에 따른 차이를 비교하였다. 우선 standard 배지에서 생산된 효소액으로 10%의 inulin이 포함된 standard inulin용액을 처리하면, 1.14mg/ml의 DFA III가 생산되었다. Chicory뿌리의 전처리방법에 따라, 같은 조건으로 반응을 진행시키는 실험을 통해 각 배지에서의 생산효율을 비교하였다. Chicory뿌리를 washing과 extraction과정을 거치지 않고 그대로 반응시켰을 경우, 2.29 mg/ml의 DFA III가 생산되어 생산성이 가장 높았는데, 이는 세척과정에서 inulin이 유실되지 않으므로, 기질로 작용하는 inulin의 양이 가장 높은 데 기인하는 것으로 생각된다.

Kluyveromyces marxianus var. marxianus isolated as an inulin-assimilating microorganism produces inulin fructotransferase (inulaseII) which catalyses the conversion of inulin into di-D-fructofuranose 1, 2' : 2, 3' dianhydrde (DFAIII). The DFA produced by the organism was isolated by using active carbon column, and identified as DFAIII by high performance liguid chromatography. The culture medium giving maximum inulaseII production was found to consist of 1% sucrose and 0.75% yeast nitrogen base (YNB). The inulasell production was induced by inulin or sucrose as a carbon source and increased by addition of YNB as a nitrogen source. Optimal initial pH of the culture medium, culture temperature and medium volume for the enzyme production were pH 4.7, 30$\circ$C and 140 ml, respectively. Under the optimal conditions described above, the enzyme activity in the culture supematant reached 4.2 units/ml after cultivation for 36 h. The DFAIII was accumulated at 13.25 mg/ml after 48 h of culture in the Jerusalem artichoke tuber medium.

Some physical and physiological properties of di-D-fructofuranose dianhydrideIII (DFAIII), as a new sweetener, were investigated via in vitro experiments. The disaccharide was prepared by decomposing inulin with inulin fructotransferase (depolymerizing) from Arthrobacter sp. A-6. DFAIII had more excellent heat and acid stability than sucrose. This was one of the most desirable properties especially for the oligomer types of sweetener. DFAIII showed the least pH drop in the Streptococcus mutans culture, compared with the other saccharides examined. This indicates that the sugar will be fairly effective for preventing dental caries. The saccharide also had a selective Bifidus growth-promoting effect in PYF medium. Whereas, E. coli did not show growth promotion in the DFAIII-containing medium. In the co-culture of Bifidus longum and E. coli in the BL medium, Bifidus longum had a selective growth while the growth of E. coli appeared rather to be inhibited.

토양에서 inulin으로부터 di-D-fructofuranose dianhydride(DFA)를 생산하는 inulin fructotransferase를 생산하는 균주로 Enterobacter sp. S45를 선발, 분리하였다. 본 효소에 의하여 생산되는 DFA는 $^13C-nmr$과 HPLC로 분석한 결과 fructose 두 분자가 $\beta$ 1,2': $\alpha$ 2,3' 결합을 한 DFA III로 동정되었다. 본 균주는 탄소원으로 inulin, 유기질소원으로 corn step liquor, 무기질소원으로 $NH_4H_2P0_4$를 사용할 때 효소생산이 가장 많았으며 이 조건하에서 72시간 배양으로 최대 효소생산을 보였다. 균 배양중 배양액내에 DFA III가 생성되었다가 소멸되는 것으로 보아 균체내에 DFAIII를 분해, 이용하는 효소가 존재한다고 추정되었다.

The IscA gene, encoding a levansucrase of 424 amino acids (aa) residues, was cloned from the genomic DNA of Pseudomonas aurantiaca S-4380, and overexpressed in Escherichia coli. The recombinant levansucrase overexpressed in E. coli was then used to produce levan from sucrose. Levan crystals with 98% purity could be obtained from the reaction mixture with $62\%$ yield using an alcohol precipitation method. The molecular weight of the levan was $7\times10^5$ daltons. Methylation studies showed that the levan was branched: main linkage C-2,6; branched linkage C-2,1; and degree of branching $6\%$. Three bacterial levans from different strains were incubated with levan fructotransferase (LFTase) from Arthrobacter ureafaciens K2032, which produced $di-\beta-D-fructofuranose$ dianhydride IV (DFA IV); final conversion yields from the levans to DFA IV were $39\%$ in Zymomonas mobilis, $53\%$ in Serratia levanicum, and $59\%$ in P. aurantiaca S-4380 levansucrase. The levan from P. aurantiaca S-4380 levansucrase gave the highest conversion yield of levan to DFAIV so far reported.

A bacterial strain LC-413, producing an extracellular inulin fructotransferase (depolymerizing) which converts inulin into di-D-fructofuranose dianhydride (DFAIII), was isolated from soil. Inulin fructotransferase from the isolate identified as a strain Flabobacterium sp. was purified from the culture broth by ammonium sulfate precipitation, followed by column chromatograpies on DEAE-Toyopearl 650 M and phenyl-Toyopearl 650 M. The purified enzyme gave a single band on an electrophoretic disc-gel. The molecular weight of the enzyme was estimated to be 44, 000 Da by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and 45, 000 Da by gel filtration, suggesting the monomeric state of the enzyme. The isoelectric point of the enzyme was about pH 4.5. The optimal pH and temperature for the enzyme reaction were 6.0 and $50^{\circ}C$, respectively. The purified enzyme digested inulin into di-D-fructofuranose-l, 2': 2, 3'-dianhydride, confirming the enzyme was an inulin fructotransferase (inulinase II).

Di-D-fructose-2,6':6,2'-dianhydride (DFA-IV) is a disaccharide consisting of two fructose residues that are prepared from levan by levan fructotransferase. Levan is a homopolysaccharide composed of D-fructofuranosyl residues joined by $\beta$-(2,6) and $\beta$-(2,1) linkages. We compared the immunomodulatory effects of levan with DFA-IV. Tumoricidal activity, phagocytosis and nitric oxide (NO) production were examined in levan- and DFA-IV-treated RAW264.7 cells. The NO production, tumoricidal and phagocytic activities were significantly increased in both treated cells. The results indicate that levan has significantly greater effects on tumoricidal activity than DFA-IV at low concentrations (1 ${\mu}g/mL$) and its effect on NO production shows a similar pattern. These results suggest that tumoricidal activity induced by both samples is mediated by NO production.

Inulin fructotransferase (depolymerizing) (EC 2.4.1.93) was purified 34-fold from the culture broth of Arthrobacter sp. A-6 by using a combination of ammonium sulfate fractionation, DEAE-Sepharose CL-6B chromatography and Sephacryl S-200 gel filtration. The purified enzyme converts inulin into di-D-fructofuranose dianhydride III(DFA III) and small quantities of fructo-oligosaccharides. The temperature and pH optima of the enzyme were $70^{\circ}C$ and 6.0, respectively. Molecular weight of the enzyme was determined to be 49 kDa by 12$%$ SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and 145 kDa by Sephacryl S-200gel filtration. This indicates that the functional inulin fructotransferase of Arthrobacter sp. A-6 has a homomeric trimer structure. The enzyme had an isoelectric point of pH 4.6. The N-terminal amino acid sequence of the purified enzyme subunit was Ala-Asp-Asn-Pro-Asp-Gly(\ulcorner)-Ser-Asn-Met(or Glu)-Tyr-Asp-Val.

A bacterial strain A-6 producing the high level of an extracellular inulin fructotransfe rase(depolymerizing)(EC 2.4.1.93) which converts inulin into di-D-fructofuranose dianhydride III (DFAIII) was isolated from soil. The isolated strain could be classified as a species belonging to the genus Arthrobacter based on its morphological and physiological characteristics identified in this work. Production of the enzyme was induced by inulin, and the highest activity was detected in the slightly acidic medium supplemented with 2.5% inulin and 0.1% trypton as a sole carbon and a nitrogen source, respectively. Under the optimal conditions, the enzyme activity in the culture supernatant reached approximately 60 uints/ml after 96 hours of cultivation. The optimum pH and temperature for the crude enzyme preparation from Arthrobacter sp. A-6 were pH 5.0 and 60$\circ$C , respectively. The DFA produced by the action of the inulin fructotransferase was confirmed to be DFAIII by paper chromatography, HPLC and $^{13}$C-NMR spectroscopy.
