An extracellular pigment production of three Phellinus sp. (Phellinus 421, P. linteus and P. hartigil) through submerged cultivation was investigated. The maximum brown pigment from culture broth was obtained from the precipitate by addition of 10% 1M HCI solution. This precipitate showed absorption characteristics with ${\lambda}_{max}$ of 360nm. The maximum production of extracellular pigment obtained at optimum medium and culture condition was 3.54 ($A_{360}$). The precipitate was fractionated by Sephadex G-75 gel chromatography, and the isolated brown pigment contained a large amount of polyphenol and the small amounts of sugar and protein. The brown pigment fraction was stable in temperature range of $30{\sim}60^{\circ}C$, pH range of $4{\sim}6$, sugar addition ranges of $1{\sim}5%$ and salt addition concentration of 3 molarity. Antioxidative activity of the brown pigment by TBA method was better than that of vitamin E (${\alpha}$-tocopherol).

Monascus purpureus ATCC 16365에 의한 5-liter 배양기에서 pH 조절을 통하여 세포외로 이차대사물인 수용성 적색소의 생산 증가 현상 와 황색소 보다 적색소로의 대사과정을 촉진시켜 적색소의 생산성을 향상시킬수 있는지의 가능성에 대하여 실험을 수행하였다. 황색소와 적색소의 분석은 UV-Vis spectrophotometer를 이용하여 각각 385nm 와 495nm에서 측정하였다. 실험결과 곰팡이의 최대균체량과 황${\cdot}$적색소를 포함한 총 색소 생산양은 pH 8보다 pH 4.0-5.5인 산성조건에서 2배 및 4배정도 증가하였다. 적색소 및 황색소의 전구물질인 홍색소는 pH 4.0에서 많이 생성되며 또한 홍색소에서 적색소로의 대사과정도 산성 조건 하에서 촉진된다고 보고되었다. 본 실험에서도 같은 경향을 보였으며 또한, 산성 조건 하에서 특히 수용성 적색소가 곰팡이 세포 외로 유출되는 양이 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다.

In order to develop the method for mass production of natural food colorant from Monascus anka, optimum cultivation conditions for producing red and yellow pigments by cultiva- ting the mold in a jar fermenter and their color characteristics were investigated. The mold produced red and yellow pigments both intracellularly and extracellularly. These pigments showed unique light absorption characteristics with maximum absorption of 494, 380, 506, and 388 nm for extracellular red pigment (ERP), extracellular yellow pigment (EYP), intracellular red pigment (IRP), and intracellular yellow pigment (IYP), respectively. Optimum conditions for producing red pigments were found to be temperature 30$\circ$C, initial pH 6.0, rice powder 3-5%, peptone 0.05%, magnesium sulfate 0.25%, aeration rate 0.1 vvm. Optimum temperature for producing yellow pigments was around 35$\circ$C which is higher than that of producing red pigments. The initial pH and rice powder concentration for producing yellow pigments were the same as those of producing red pigments. The higher concentration of nitrogen source and inorganic salt, aeration rate, the more the yellow pigments were produced. The optimum agitation speed was 100 - 300 rpm for pigment production.

The characteristcs of monascus fermentation using a hyperpigment-producing mutant, Monascus sp. J101, were analyzed, and the extractive fermentations employing permeabilizing agents and resin were carried out to increase the productivity of red pigment. And the kinetic analysis was also carried out in case of the monascus fermentation using Amberlite XAD-7. The extracellular content of the red pigment produced by Monascus sp. J101 was about 17% of the total, and the production of pigment was regulated by its own product. The cell growth reached a stationary phase at 48 hours ofter inoculation, whereas the pigment production continued up to 100 hours, which showed the pattern of a mixed growth-associated type. During the fermentation, various permeabilizing agents were added to the culture medium and their effects on pigment production were examined. By adding 0.05% Triton X-100 at 48 hours of cultivation, about an 18% increase in pigment production was accomplished as compared to the control, 12% ethyle acetate and 15% for 0.05% deoxycholate, respectively. When a nonionic adsorbent, Amberlite XAD-7 was added to the culture medium at a concentration of 12.0% at 48 hours of cultivation, the pigment production was enhanced by about 48.9% as compared to the control.

Monascus anka가 생산하는 색소는 균체외 적색색소(ERP)와 황색색소(EYP) 그리고 균체내 적색색소(IRP) 와 황색색소(IYP)로 분리되었고 각각의 색소는 특징적인 absorption spectrum을 나타냈다 분리된 4종의 색소의 안정성을 검토한 결과, 암조건, 자외선 그리고 형광하에서는 비교적 안정하였지만 일광하에서는 색소가 급격히 퇴색하는 경향을 나타내 저장시 광차단이 필요함을 알 수 있었다. pH에 대해서는 각 색소가 pH 2.0~12.0 범위에서 비교적 안정하였다. 온도의 영향은 60~8$0^{\circ}C$에서는 비교적 안정하였으나 그 이상의 온도에서는 안정성이 떨어지는 것으로 나타났다. 8종의 유기산 중에 tartaric acid와 citric acid가 홍국색소의 안정성을 저해하는 것으로 나타났고 propionic, formic, acetic, butyric, malonic, malic acid는 비교적 안정하였다. 홍국색소의 변색에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 금속 이온은 Cu$^{2+}$이었다.

성장속도가 빠르고포지형성이 우수한 방사균 일주를 토양에서 분리한 뒤 분리균의 특성을 조사한 결과 세포외 단백질 분해 효소가 중성과 알카리성의 두 종류가 생성되었으며 $\beta$-lactamase도 생성함을 알았다. 이 균주를 acriflarin 또는 NTG로서 처리하여 얻은 변이주는 포자의 형성, $\beta$-lactamase의 생성 및 protease의 생합성 능력이 소실 또는 크게 저하되었다. 일단계의 변이주 취득에서 동시에 형질의 변화가 다양하게 나타난 원인을 규명한 결과 호알카리성 protease의 생합성이 크게 저하되었음을 알았다. 따라서 방선균에서 포자형성과 호알카리성 protease의 활성이 일정한 연관성이 있을 것으로 판단되었다.

유기 용매에 추출되는 유리형의 홍국 색소를 보다 많이 얻기 위하여 Monascus anka의 균주를 자연 및 자외선 변이균주에서 선발하고 배양 조건을 탐색하였다. 균주 N3를 Lin's medium에서 진탕 배양, Nishikawa's medium에서 정치 배양 및 진탕 배양하여 균체성장과 색소생성에 소요되는 시간, 유기용매에 추출되는 색소의 양을 비교하여 보았다. Lin's medium에서의 액침 배양에서는 수용성 색소가 우세하게 생성되는 반면 Nishikawa's medium에서의 정치 배양에서는 보다 많은 유기용매 가용성의 색소를 얻을 수 있었다. 한편 탄소원으로는 자당외에 에탄올이 가장 효과적이었다. Sterol 합성저해제를 처리하였을 때는 상당한 색소 형성의 증가를 볼 수 있었다. 이차원 TLC로써 아직 보고된 바 없는 색소들이 존재함을 알 수 있었다. 이 균주의 색소중 가장 다량으로 존재하는 황색소의 하나를 분리하였고 분광학적 방법으로 ankaflavin으로 동정하였다.

A restricted facultatively methanol-oxidizing bacterium, Methylovorus sp. strain SS1, was isolate dfrom soil samples from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, through methanol-enrichment culture technique. The isolate was nonmotile Gram-negative rod and did not have complex internal membrane system. The colonies were small, pale-yellow, and raised convex with entire margin. The cell did not produce any spores and capsular materials. The cell was obligately aerobic and exhibited catalase, but no oxidase, activity. Plasmid, carotenoid pigment, and poly-.betha.-hydroxybutyric acid were not found. The guanine plus cytosine content of the DNA was 55%. The isolate was found to grow only on methanol methylamine, or glucose. Growth factors were not required. Cells growing on methanol was found to produce extracellular polysaccharides containing glucose, lactose, and fructose. Growth was optimal (t$_{d}$= 1.7) with 0.5%(v/v) methanol at 40.deg.C and pH 6.5. No Growth was observed at over 60.deg.C. Cell-free extracts of the methanol grown cells exhibited the phenazine methosulfate-linked methanol dehydrogenase activity Methanol was found to be assimilate dthrough the ribulose monophosphate pathway.y.

Harmful algal blooms (HABs), commonly called red tides, are caused by some toxic phytoplanktons, and have made massive economic losses as well as marine environmental disturbances. As an effective and environment-friendly strategy to control HAB outbreaks, biological methods using marine bacteria capable of killing the harmful algae or algicidal extracellular compounds from them have been given attention. A new member of the $\gamma$-Proteobacteria, Hahella chejuensis KCTC 2396, was originally isolated from the Korean seashore for its ability to secrete industrially useful polysaccharides, and was characterized to produce a red pigment. This pigment later was identified as an alkaloid compound, prodigiosin. During the past several decades, prodigiosin has been extensively studied for its medical potential as immunosuppressants and antitumor agents, owing to its antibiotic and cytotoxic activities. The lytic activity of this marvelous molecule against Cochlodinium polykrikoides cells at very low concentrations ($\sim$l ppb) was serendipitously detected, making H. chejuensis a strong candidate among the biological agents for HAB control. This review provides a brief overview of algicidal marine bacteria and their products, and describes in detail the algicidal characteristics, biosynthetic process, and genetic regulation of prodigiosin as a model among the compounds active against red-tide organisms from the biochemical and genetic viewpoints.
