생분해성 고분자의 생산 단가를 낮추기 위해 값싼 원료인 LNG와 강제성 메탄자화균인 M. tricha­s sparium OS3b를 이용하여 PHS 생산 가능성을 검토하였다. 중요한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 산업용 기질인 LNG를 에탄 원료로 사용한 경 우 LNG 중의 에탄과 프로판에 의해 비성장 속도가 감소하였으내(저해상수 $K_1=0.12%$) PHS 생성에는 영향을 주지 않았다. 2. 배양액 중 구리 이온이 결핍되면 PHS 축적은 현저히 감소하였다. 3. 각종 영양원 결핍조건에서 PHS 축적능을 시험 하였을 때, 칼륨, 마그네숨, 그리고 질소원 결핍이 높은 PHS 축적율을 보였고, 특히 질소원의 경우 최 고 45%의 축적율을 보였다. 4. 최척의 질소원/탄소원의 비는 존재하지 않았고, 질소원의 농도가 낯을수록 PHS 축적율은 증가 하였다. 5. PHS 축척을 위한 최적 온도와 pH는 각각 $30^{\circ}C$와 7.0이었다.

국내에서 대량생산될 수 있는 자생가능한 자원인 배추의 비전통적 이용을 위해 배추즙액에 효모 Candida utilis를 배양하여 단세포단백을 생산하는 연구를 하였다. 배추의 당함량은 $2.1{\sim}4.0%$의 범위에 있었고 배추원액을 그대로 사용하여 C. utilis를 배양했을 때보다는 배추즙액을 적절히 희석하여 배양하였을 때 증식속도가 빨라졌고 소비된 당에 대한 건조균체생산율도 17%에서 약 50% 정도로 향상되었다. 배추즙액에 C. utilis를 배양하여 단세포단백을 생산하고자 할 때는 당의 함량이 1.0% 정도로 희석하는 것이 적절하였고 당함량을 1.0%되게 조정한 배추희석액에 영양원을 첨가하여 그 영향을 평가해 보았을 때 glucose, $KH_2PO_4$나 $(NH_4)_2SO_4$는 첨가효과가 없거나 오히려 균체생산량을 감소시킨데 비하여 yeast extract나 peptone은 건조균체 생산 및 균체의 단백질 함량을 $10{\sim}20%$씩 증가시키는 효과가 있었으나 yeast extract나 peptone의 첨가량에 비해 건조균체생산량의 증가가 적어서 배추즙희석액 자체로만도 효모배양을 위한 좋은 기질임이 확인되었다.

Bacillus subtilis BK-17 which produces a novel protease with fibrinolytic activity was isolated from soybean paste. Bioreactor production of the enzyme was studied in order to optimize fermentation conditions such as medium concentration, pH, agitation speed, and temperature. Under most cultural conditions, enzyme production initially began when the cell growth stopped. The onset of the enzyme production was indicated by rapid increase in both dissolved oxygen (DO) and pH. Two- to three-times more concentrated medium than the flask optimum medium yielded higher enzyme production in the bioreactor fermentation. When the medium pH was controlled constant, pH 6.5 exhibited the highest activity in the range of 6.0 to 7.5, but the activity was similar to the case when the pH was initially adjusted to 7.5 and subsequently maintained within a relatively wide range of 6.4 to 7.8. Agitation speed did not affect the enzyme production with an exception of DO reaching zero. Fermentation time was reduced when temperature increased within the range of $25^{\circ}C$ to$37^{\circ}C$. However, the highest activity, along with the slow decrease of the enzymatic activity after reaching the maximum value, was observed at $25^{\circ}C$. By shifting the temperature from $37^{\circ}C$ to $25^{\circ}C$immediately after DO reached the minimum level, the high enzyme production of 1,100 U/ml along with the short fermentation period of 13 h could be obtained.

Major Royal Jelly Protein cDNAs of Apis cerana (AcMRJP) were cloned and characterized. The open reading frames (ORFs) of the AcMRJP1 and AcMRJP2 genes were 1302 and 1392 nucleotides, encoding 433 and 463 amino acid residues, respectively. The sequence divergences between AcMRJP1 and AcMRJP2 and their corresponding protein families in A. mellifera were 0.0618 and 0.0934 at the nucleotide level and 0.0912 and 0.1438 at the protein level, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis supports the orthologous similarity between these proteins. The deduced amino acids indicated high essential amino acid contents of AcMRJP1 and AcMRJP2 (47.5 and 44.8%, respectively). The genomic organization of both AcMRJP1 and AcMRJP2 was determined. Both the AcMRJP1 (3663 bp) and AcMRJP2 (3963 bp) genes contained six exons and five introns, where all boundaries conformed to the GT/AG rule. AcMRJP1 and AcMRJP2 cDNAs were cloned into pET17b, and both the recombinant (r) AcMRJP1 (47.9 kDa) and rAcMRJP2 (51.7 kDa) were expressed in the insoluble form. Western blot analysis and N-terminal sequencing of the solubilized proteins revealed successful expression of rAcMRJP1 and rAcMRJP2 in vitro. The yields of the purified rAcMRJP1 and rAcMRJP2 were approximately 20 and 8mg protein per liter of the flask culture, respectively.

The humanized anti-hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) monoclonal antibody (mAb) YYB-101 is a promising therapeutic candidate for treating various cancers. In this study, we developed a bioprocess for large-scale production of YYB-101 and evaluated its therapeutic potential for tumor treatment using a xenograft mouse model. By screening diverse chemically defined basal media formulations and by assessing the effects of various feed supplements and feeding schedules on cell growth and antibody production, we established an optimal medium and feeding method to produce 757 mg/l of YYB-101 in flask cultures, representing a 7.5-fold increase in titer compared with that obtained under non-optimized conditions. The optimal dissolved oxygen concentration for antibody production was 70% $pO_2$. A pH shift from 7.2 to 7.0, rather than controlled pH of either 7.0 or 7.2, resulted in productivity improvement in 5 L and 200 L bioreactors, yielding 737 and 830 mg/ml of YYB-101, respectively. The YYB-101 mAb highly purified by affinity chromatography using a Protein A column and two-step ion exchange chromatography effectively neutralized HGF in a cell-based assay and showed potent tumor suppression activity in a mouse xenograft model established with human glioblastoma cells.

We have characterized 4 human squamous carcinoma cell lines established from the larynx and hypopharynx area. All the cell lines were cultured in RPMI-1640 medium. During the growth they showed monolayer adherence pattern in culture flask. They showed tonofilament on transmission electromicroscopy which is characteristic of squamous cell epithelium. DNA finger-printing using Hinf-l proved them to be originated from different beings. Flow cytometric analysis revealed them to show aneuploidy. Immunohistochemical staining for cytokeratin was done using CK1, CK8.13, CK19 and CAM5.2 antibody, and produced various patterns of positivity. All the cell lines showed varying degrees of tumorigenecity in athymic nude mice when injected subcutaneously, but only heterotransplanted SNU-1041 cell line showed continuous tumor growth. Histopathologic findings of the heterotransplanted tumors were identical to those of the original tumors of patients. This study suggests that establishment of many different squamous cell lines might bestow great capability in researches of the head and neck cancer.

Alginate and alginate-derived oligomannuronate enhanced penicillin production in shake flask and fermentor cultures of Penicillium chrysogenum Wis 54-1255 (containing a single copy of the penicillin gene cluster) and in the high producter strain P. chrysogenum AS-P-99 (containing multiple copies of the penicillin gene cluster). Alginate was not used as a single carbon source by P. chryogenum. The stimulatory effect on penicillin production was observed in a defined medium and, to a lower extent, in a complex production medium containing corn steep liquor. Alginate-supplemented cells showed higher transcript levels of the three penicillin biosynthetic genes, pcbAB, pcbC, and penDE, than cells grown in the absence of alginate. The promoters of the pcbAB, pcbC, and penDE genes were coupled to the reporter lacZ gene and introduced as monocopy constructions in P. chrysogenum Wis 54-1225 npe10 by targeted integration in the pyrG locus; the reporter ${\beta}$-galactosidase activity expressed from the three promoters was stimulated by alginate added to the culture medium of the transformants. These results indicate that the stimulation of penicillin production by alginate was derived from an increase in the transcriptional activity of the penicillin biosynthesis genes. The induction by alginate of the transcription of the three penicillin biosynthetic genes is good example of the coordinated induction of secondary metabolism genes by elicitors of plant (or microbial) origin.

For the screening and the development of the new bio-material, cultural conditions for the exo-biopolymer (EBP) production throught the submerged cultivation of Ganoderma lucidum mycelium were investigated. Also, the fractionations and the purifications of the exo-biopolymer were carried out and the chemical compositions of the exo-biopolymer were examined. The optimal culture conditions for the exo-biopolymer production were pH 5.0, 30$^{\circ}C$ and 100 rpm of agitation speed in the medium containing of 5% (w/v) glucose, 0.5%(w/v) yeast extract, 0.1% (w/v) ($(NH_4)_2HPO_4$, and 0.05% (w/v) $KH_2PO_4$. In the flask cultivation for 7 days under these conditions, the concentration of the maximum exo-biopolymer and the cell mass were 15.4g/l and 18.8g/l, respectively. The specific growth rate was 0.039 $hr^{-1}$. In addition, the substrate consumption rate, and the exo-biopolymer production rate were 0.043$gg^{-1}$$hr^{-1}$ and 0.025$gg^{-1}$$hr^{-1}$, respectively. The exo-biopolymer was fractionated into BWS (water soluble exo-biopolymer) and BWI (water insoluble exo-biopolymer) by the water extraction, and the sugar contents of two fractions were higher than 97% (based on dry basis). The components sugar of BWS and BWI fractions were glucose, galactose, mannose, xylose, and fucose. Their molar ratios were 3.6:1.5:2.1:0.5: trace and 2.9:3.1:2.0:1.6:0.3, respectively.
