Several reversion colonies were obtained after induced transfer of the isolated nuclei from P. sapidus into protoplast of P. ostreatus$({Arg}^-)$. These colonies showed three distinct cultural characteristics, type 1 produced spontaneous segregants of both parental types, type 2 showed segregants of non parental types, and type 3 gave rise to homogeneous colonies. Isozyme patterns of esterase, malate dehydrogenase and superoxide dismutase showed substantial differences between parents and nuclei transferred strains. This observation supported that the isolated nuclei of P. sapidus were transferred into protoplast of P. ostreatus and expressed in recipient cell.

The methods of isoelectric focusing of 4 isozymes in polyacrylamide horizontal slab gels and restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) were applied to characterize the biochemical phenotypes of 19 cultivars of barley. Among 19 barley cultivars screened, 7 esterase, 3 phosphoglucose isomerase, 4 peroxidase and 2 alcohol dehydrogenase isozyme phenotypes were distinguished by isoelectric focusing. When purified DNA of each cultivar was digested with restriction enzyme EcoRV and analyzed its RFLPs with barley DNA markers pMSU 51 or pMSU 71, two distinct RFLP patterns were shown. Based on the four isozymes and two RELP polymorphisms, 19 cultivars of barley were classified into 13 biochemical phenotypes. Phylogenetical relationships among 13 biochemical phenotypes classified were determined using Nei's F-statistics and the phylogenetic dendrogram was constructed.

Human carbonic anhydrase (CA) isozyme II has been used as protein target for disorder treatment including glaucoma. Current clinically used sulfonamide-based CA inhibitors can induce side effects, and so alternatives are required. This study aimed to investigate a natural CA inhibitor from Murraya paniculata. The previously developed yeast-based assay was used to screen 14 compounds isolated from M. paniculata and identified by NMR analysis for anti-human CA isozyme II (hCAII) activity. Cytotoxicity of the compounds was also tested using the same yeast-based assay but in a different cultivation condition. Two flavonoid candidate compounds, 5, 6, 7, 8, 3', 4', 5'-heptamethoxyflavone (4) and 3, 5, 7, 8, 3', 4', 5'-heptamethoxyflavone (9), showed potent inhibitory activity against hCAII with a minimal effective concentration of 10.8 and 21.5 μM, respectively, while they both exhibited no cytotoxic effect, even at the highest concentration tested (170 μM). The results from an in vitro esterase assay of the two candidates confirmed their hCAII inhibitory activity with IC₅₀ values of 24.0 and 34.3 μM, respectively. To investigate the potential inhibition mechanism of compound 4, in silico molecular docking was performed using the FlexX and SwissDock software. This revealed that compound 4 coordinated with the Zn²⁺ ion in the hCAII active site through its methoxy oxygen at a distance of 1.60 Å (FlexX) or 2.29 Å (SwissDock). The interaction energy of compound 4 with hCAII was -13.36 kcal/mol. Thus, compound 4 is a potent novel flavonoid-based hCAII inhibitor and may be useful for further anti-CAII design and development.

The uptake of isolated Lyophyllum ulmarium chromosomes by Ganoderma applanatum protoplasts was induced with polyethylen $glycol+CaCl_2+glycine$. Uptake products of chromosomes by protoplasts showed micro-and macrotransgenome type. The former was slowly growing and unstable, the latter was outgrowing and stable mycelial colonies which made thick hyphae of width and segregation of mycelial colony on GCM containing benomyl. A comparison of macrotransgenome type was using isozyme analysis of esterase. The enzyme pattern of two transformants was distinct in position and quantity compared with parents.

A horizontal starch gel electrophoresis for enzyme proteins extracted from 2 species of Korean viviparid snails; Cipangopaludina chinensis malleata and C. japonica was carried out in order to elucidate their genetic relationships. A total of 10 enzymes were employed in three different kinds of buffer systems. Two loci from each enzyme of alcohol dehydrogenase, esterase, glucose phosphate isomerase, isocitrate dehydrogenase, iditol dehydrogenase, malate dehydrogenase and peptidase(VL); and only one locus dach from two enzymes, glycerlo-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and phosphoglucomutase were detected; but, four loci from peptidase(LGG) were observed. Most of loci in two viviparid species showed homozygous monomorphic banding patterns and some of them were specific as genetic markers between two different species. However, EST-1, MDH-1, PEP(VL)-1loci showed polymorphic banding patterns. Foru populations of C. chinensis malleata were more closely clustered in a dendrogram within the range of genetic identity values of 0.928-1.00, and these clusters were lineated with C. japonica at the value of 0.355. In summarizing the above results, two viviparid snail species dmployed in this study mostly showed monomorphic enzyme protein banding patterns, and genetic differences specific between two species.

The intercellular material was extracted from rice leaf tissue. The quantitative tests of protein and soluble carbohydrate, and activity of peroxidase, showed differences between tissue extract and intercellular material. Also electrophoretic patterns of peroxidase and esterase isozymes were not similar between them. It indicated that the intercellular material which was extracted, was not the mixture of cellular materials.

Esterase isozyme band patterns were compared between the wild strain and commercial strain of Flammulina velutipes. Monospores were isolated from wild strain. ASI4019 and their mating types were determined. We investigated the relationship between pigmentation on the plate and fruitbody color to understand genetic relationship among F. velutipes strains. Dikaryotic strains mated between nonpigmenting strains produced white fruitbodies. However dikaryon obtained from mating between nonpigmenting monokaryon and brown pigmenting monokaryon produced brown fruitbody as the dikaryon obtained from mating of brown pigmenting monokaryons. The white fruitbody from wild strain was distinguished from that of commercial strain. When the nonpigmenting wild monokaryon was mated with commercial monokaryon, pale brown mushroom was produced. The BC1F1 was obtained by mating the above mentioned $F_1$ with commercial monokaryon. Fruitbody color of BC1F1 shared two types; one strain with all pale brown fruitbodies, and the other strain with separated eight pale brown and two mixed type involving pale brown and white fruitbodies.

Interspecific fusion products were obtained from fusion of Ganoderma applanatum and Ganoderma luridum. Frequency of fusion was 0.77-1.38%. Fusion products were selected by the comparision of morphology and color of colony. Fusion Products had chracteristics of two parental strains and generally grew faster than the parents. Some fusants were segregated on GCM. Fusion products were confirmed by mycelial morphology and electrophoretics pattern of esterase isozyme from mycelium. Most of fusion products were lack in clamp connection but those fusion products, that were segregated produced mycelium with and without clamp connection. Some of the fusion products produced fruit body on sawdust medium.

The transfer of isolated nuclei from Agrocybe aegerita mycelia of wild type into Pleurotus florida protoplasts of auxotroph was induced with polyethylene glycol. The type 1 of nuclear transfer products was spontaneous segregants of both parental morphology of colony. Hyphae of A. aegerita type had clamp connections while that of P. florida type lacked. Type 2 was main products of nuclear transfer which formed true clamp connections. Type 3 was clampless products. They all produced primordia and developed basidiocarps similar to Agrocybe aegerita. A comparison of nuclei transfer products was made using isozyme analyses of alcohol dehydrogenase, esterase, lactate dehydrogenase and peroxidase. Isozyme band patterns of some type 2 strains produced a new band. Band patterns from mycelial extracts of the other strains could be characterized by parental bands.

The genus Ganoderma is typical wood-rotting fungi and its fruiting body has been used as an important herb in oriental medicine. Recent research discovered antitumor components from Ganoderma lncidum. Various Ganoderma species are being cultivated in Korea. However, taxonomic system of the genus Ganoderma has been based mainly on the macromorphology of fruiting bodies and the ultrastructural characteristics of basidiospores. Since there are similar characteristics in Ganoderma mycelia grown on the same artificial media, it is suggested that the compatibility of the fungi by di-mon mating be used as an aid to determine the identity of species in addition to the conventional characterization. In this study, we examined physiological and genetical properties such as growth temperature, pH, compatibility and enzyme or protein patterns of laccase, esterase and cellular proteins of G. lucidum RZ, G. tsugae and Ganoderma species cultivated in Korea by electrophoresis for characterization of the isolates. We found that compatibility test and isozyme patterns of laccase and esterase of the mycelia could be used for the differentiation of the isolates. These results showed that Ganoderma species cultivated in Korea is genetically similar to G. lucidum but physiologically closer to G. tsugae than to G. lucidum.
