The various extracellular enzymes produced by lactic acid bacteria isolated from kimchi were assayed to improve the shelf-life of kimchi. Peroxidase was not detected in all tested lactic acid bacteria and small amount of ascorbic acid oxidase was detected in Pediococcus pentosaceus and Lactobacillus brevis. In case of $\alpha$-amylase, 27.8 and 20.9 unit/mg were shown in Pediococcus acidilactici and Pediococcus pentosaceus, respectively but $\beta$-amylase and protease activities were very low. The enzyme related to textural property of kimchi, pectinesterase showed low activity but polygalacturonase activity was 0.28 unit/mg in Lactobacillus homohiochii and 0.27 unit/mg in Lactobacillus plantarum.

본 연구에서는 양송이 육종에 필요한 기본 정보를 얻고자 다양한 출처의 양송이 이핵균주를 대상으로 생육 및 생화학적 특성을 비교 검정하였다. 시험한 31균주 중 대부분의 균주가 Oatmeal agar에서 MEA나 PDA에서 보다 균사생장이 우수하였다. 7가지 세포외효소 활성 비교에서 양송이 균주는 대체로 ${\beta}$-glucosidase가 가장 뚜렷한 활성을 나타내었으며 protease의 활성은 모든 균주가 지니고 있었다. ${\beta}$-glucosidase 활성은 27개 균주에서 xylanase 활성은 30개 균주에서 나타났다. 이에 반해 avicelase, CM-cellulase, amylase, pectinase 활성은 20균주 이하에서만 나타났다. 본 연구 결과는 국내 양송이 육종을 위한 균주 선발 기준 중 하나로 이용될 수 있을 것이다.

Thirty seven species of Fusarium were evaluated for their ability of producing extracellular enzymes using chromogenic medium containing substrates such as starch, cellobiose, CM-cellulose, xylan, and pectin. Among the tested species Fusarium mesoamericanum, F. graminearum, F. asiaticum, and F. acuminatum showed high ${\beta}$-glucosidase acitivity. Xylanase activity was strongly detected in F. proliferatum and F. oxysporum. Strong pectinase activity was also found in F. oxysporum and F. proliferatum. Amylase activity was apparent in F. oxysporum. No clear activity in cellulase was found from all the Fusarium species tested.

To obtain basic information on the biochemical property of basidiospores of shiitake mushroom (Lentinula edodes), the ability of producing extracellular enzyme was assessed using a chromogenic plate-based assay. For the aim, amylase, avicelase, $\beta$-glucosidase, CM-cellulase, pectinase, proteinase, and xylanase were tested against monokaryotic strains generated from forty basidiospores of two different parental dikaryotic strains of shiitake mushroom, Sanjo-101Ho and Sanjo-108Ho. These two parental strains showed different degree of extracellular enzyme activity. No identical patterns of the degree of enzyme activity were observed between monokaryotic strains and parental strains of the two shiitake cultivars. The degree of extracellular enzyme activity also varied among monokaryotic strains of the two shiitake cultivars. Our results showed that dikaryotic parental strains of shiitake mushroom produce monokaryotic basidiospores having very diverse biochemical properties.

표고버섯의 육종은 두 개의 다른 모균주에 의한 교배와 버섯생산에 좋은 형질을 지닌 교잡균주의 선발이 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 서로 다른 두 계통의 표고 모균주에서 유래한 단핵균주와 이들 단핵균주간의 교배로부터 만들어진 교잡균주에 대하여 발색반응 배지를 이용하여 세포외 분해효소의 분비능력 정도를 비교하여 생화학적 특성이 우수한 균주를 선발할 가능성에 대하여 조사하였다. 모균주로부터 유래한 단핵균주들 간에 ${\beta}$-glucosidase, avicelase, CM-cellulase, amylase, pectinase, xylanase, protease의 분비능력에 차이가 있음을 확인하였다. 교잡균주에 있어서도 단핵균주의 조합에 따라 효소 분비능력이 달라지는 것을 볼 수 있었다. 이에 따라 발색반응배지를 이용한 세포외효소 평가법이 표고의 육종과정 중에 생성되는 교잡균주들의 평가에 활용 할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

A maltogenic amylase gene from Lactobacillus gasseri ATCC33323 (LGMA) was expressed in Lactococcus lactis MG1363 using the P170 expression system. The successful production of recombinant LGMA (rLGMA) was confirmed by the catalytic activity of the enzyme in liquid and solid media. The N-terminal amino acid sequencing analysis of the rLGMA showed that it was Met-Gln-Leu-Ala-Ala-Leu-, which was the same as that of genuine protein, meaning the signal peptide was efficiently cleaved during secretion to the extracellular milieu. The optimal reaction temperature and pH of rLGMA ($55^{\circ}C$ and pH 5, respectively) and enzymatic hydrolysis patterns on various substrates (${\beta}$-cyclodextrin, starch, and pullulan) supported that rLGMA was not only efficiently secreted from the Lactococcus lactis MG1363 but was also functionally active. Finally, the branched maltooligosaccharides were effectively produced from liquefied com starch, by using rLGMA secreted from Lactococcus lactis, with a yield of 53.1%.

To promote the selection of promising monokaryotic strains of button mushroom (Agaricus bisporus) during breeding, 61 progeny strains derived from basidiospores of two different lines of dikaryotic parental strains, ASI1038 and ASI1346, were analyzed by nucleotide sequencing of the intergenic spacer I (IGS I) region in their rDNA and by extracellular enzyme assays. Nineteen different sizes of IGS I, which ranged from 1,301 to 1,348 bp, were present among twenty ASI1346-derived progeny strains, while 15 different sizes of IGS I, which ranged from 700 to 1,347 bp, were present among twenty ASI1038-derived progeny strains. Phylogenetic analysis of the IGS sequences revealed that different clades were present in both the ASI10388- and ASI1346-derived progeny strains. Plating assays of seven kinds of extracellular enzymes (${\beta}$-glucosidase, avicelase, CM-cellulase, amylase, pectinase, xylanase, and protease) also revealed apparent variation in the ability to produce extracellular enzymes among the 40 tested progeny strains from both parental A. bisporus strains. Overall, this study demonstrates that characterization of IGS I regions and extracellular enzymes is useful for the assessment of the substrate-degrading ability and heterogenicity of A. bisporus monokaryotic strains.

Indigenous strains of Trichoderma species isolated from rhizosphere soils of Tea gardens of Assam, north eastern state of India were assessed for in vitro antagonism against two important tea fungal pathogens namely Pestalotia theae and Fusarium solani. A potent antagonist against both tea pathogenic fungi, designated as SDRLIN1, was selected and identified as Trichoderma viride. The strain also showed substantial antifungal activity against five standard phytopathogenic fungi. Culture filtrate collected from stationary growth phase of the antagonist demonstrated a significantly higher degree of inhibitory activity against all the test fungi, demonstrating the presence of an optimal blend of extracellular antifungal metabolites. Moreover, quantitative enzyme assay of exponential and stationary culture filtrates revealed that the activity of cellulase, ${\beta}$-1,3-glucanase, pectinase, and amylase was highest in the exponential phase, whereas the activity of proteases and chitinase was noted highest in the stationary phase. Morphological changes such as hyphal swelling and distortion were also observed in the fungal pathogen grown on potato dextrose agar containing stationary phase culture filtrate. Moreover, the antifungal activity of the filtrate was significantly reduced but not entirely after heat or proteinase K treatment, demonstrating substantial role of certain unknown thermostable antifungal compound(s) in the inhibitory activity.

지하수 세균 군집에 미치는 환경요인의 영향을 분석하기 위하여, 서울 시내에서 음용수로 사용하는 2개 정점과 음용수외 생활용수로 사용하고 있는 8개 정점을 대상으로 조사하였다. 물리.화학적 환경요인과 중금속의 농도, 및 세균 군집의 분포 등 40개 변수를 분석한 결과, 음용수로 사용하는 정점을 제외한 나머지 정점에서 질산성 질소와 암모니아가 용수목적별 수질기준의 기준치 이상으로 측정되었다. 총세균은 5.1~41.4$\times$$10^{5}$cells/ml 범주로, 종속영양세균과 기능성 세균군집은 0.01~29.6$\times$$10^4$cfu/ml의 범주로 조사되었다. 세포외 효소의 활성도는 0.005~11.3$\mu$M/l/hr 의 범주로 나타났고, lipase, phophatase, $\beta$-glucosidase, cellulase, chitinase, amylase 순으로 활성도가 나타났다. 정점별로 조사된 세균 군집에 미치는 환경요인의 상호관계는 대응분석(correspondence analysis)과 다차원 척도법 분석(multidimensional scaling; MDS)으로 하였으며, 그 결과 4개의 집단으로 구분되었으며, 세균 군집에 미치는 주요한 환경요인은 정점별 잠재오염원과 일치하는 양상을 보였다.다.

Lepista nuda DGUM 26501의 균사 생육을 위한 배양조건 및 세포외 분비 효소 활성을 조사하였다. 균사 생육을 위한 최적 온도는 $24^{\circ}C$였고, pH$7.0\~8.0$에서 최적 균사 생육을 나타내었다. 적정 균사생육을 위한 산소분압은 $10\%$이상이었다. 최소배지로 Czapek-Dox 한천배지에 탄소원을 변경하여 첨가시, maltose, sucrose, manitol, xylitol 등이 우수하였다. 유기산으로 gluconate가 가장 우수한 균사 생육을 보여주었다. 전반적으로 유기질소원이 무기질소원보다 균사 생육이 더 우수하였으며, 유기질소원으로 corn steep liquor(CSL), soytone, protease peptone을 사용하였을 때 균사생육이 우수하였다. 사용한 인산원 중 ammonium phosphate, 비타민원으로 pyridoxine, riboflavin, nicotinic acid 첨가시 우수한 균사 생육을 보여주었다. $24^{\circ}C$에서 10일간 배양된 L. nuda DGUM 26501의 균사외 분비효소 중 $\alpha-amylase$의 활성도가 다른 효소에 비해 상대적으로 높았으며, lipase의 활성도는 미미하게 나타났다.
