For the production and purification of a single chain human insulin precursor, four types of fusion peptides $\beta$-galactosidase (LacZ), maltose binding protein (MBP), glutathione-S-transferase (GST), and (His)(sub)6-tagged sequence (HTS) were investigated. Recombinant E. coli harboring hybrid genes was cultivated at 37$\^{C}$ for 1h, and gene induction occurred when 0.2mM of isopropyl-D-thiogalactoside (IPTG) was added to the culture broth, except for E. coli BL21 (DE3) pLysS harboring a pET-BA cultivation with 1.0mM IPTG, followed by a longer than 4h batch fermentation respectively. DEAE-Sphacel and Sephadex G-200 gel filtration chromatography, amylose affinity chromatography, glutathione-sepharose 4B affinity chromatography, and a nickel chelating affinity chromatography system as a kind of immobilized metal ion affinity chromatography (IMAC) were all employed for the purification of a single chain human insulin precursor. The recovery yields of the HTS-fused, GST-fused, MBP-fused, and LacZ-fused single chain human insulin precursors resulted in 47%, 20%, 20%, and 18% as the total protein amounts respectively. These results show that a higher recovery yield of the finally purified recombinant peptides was achieved when affinity column chromatography was employed and when the fused peptide had a smaller molecular weight. In addition the pET expression system gave the highest productivity of a fused insulin precursor due to a two-step regulation of the gene expression, and the HTS-fused system provided the highest recovery of a fused insulin precursor based on a simple and specific separation using the IMAC technique.

Transformant TSD-14의 starch 발효능을 향상시키기 위해, 52$^{\circ}C$에서 60분간의 열처리로써 regeneration능을 제거한 TSD-14의 protoplast와 C, tropicalis RCT-40 (lys-)의 protoplast를 20 mM CaC1$_2$를 함유한 30% PEG를 fusogenlc agent로 하여 융합시키고 최소배지상에서 fusant를 선별한 결과 4.4$\times$$10^{-5}$ 빈도로 fusant를 얻었다. Fusant들의 탄소원 자화능을 조사한 결과 parental strains의 성질이 동시에 존재함을 알 수 있었으며 cell volume은 Parental Strains에 비해 약 1.5배정도 크게 나타났다. 또한 fusant는 유전적으로 매우 안정하였으며, parent인 TSD-14와는 달리 $\alpha$-1, 6-glucosidic linkage를 가수분해할 수 있었다. Fusant중 가장 우수 한 FSC-14-75 균주는 15%의 liquefied potato starch로부터 8.7%(v/v)의 ethanol을 생성하였고 또한 이때의 fermentation broth에 0.3%의 peptone을 첨가한 경우, ethanol 생성은 9.3%(v/v) 수준으로 증가하여 총당에 대해 86.0%의 발효율을 나타냈으며 산업적 이용가능성을 시사하였다.

Heterologous secretory expression of endoglucanase E (Clostridium thermocellum) and ${\beta}$-glucosidase 1 (Saccharomycopsis fibuligera) was achieved in Saccharomyces cerevisiae fermentation cultures as an ${\alpha}$-mating factor signal peptide fusion, based on the native enzyme coding sequence. Ethanol production depends on simultaneous saccharification of cellulose to glucose and fermentation of glucose to ethanol by a recombinant yeast strain as a microbial biocatalyst. Recombinant yeast strain expressing endoglucanase and ${\beta}$-glucosidase was able to produce ethanol from ${\beta}$-glucan, CMC and acid swollen cellulose. This indicates that the resultant yeast strain of this study acts efficiently as a whole cell biocatalyst.

Escherichia coli has been used as an expression work horse for foreign genes. This article summarized recent development in genetic engineering techniques for overproduction of medical proteins and industrial enzymes. Special emphasis was placed upon research activities concerning folding and refolding of inclusion bodies at genetic and fermentation levels. Plasmid and mRNA stabilization, development of strong inducible promoters, modification of translational elements and reduction of rpoteolytic degradation were carried out to elevate an expression level of a target protein. Optimization of culture conditions, improvement of denaturation and renaturation steps and coexpression of molecular chaperones or foldase were accomplished to produce active proteins in soluble form. Fusion protein systems with selective separation and surface display technology were also performed in an effort to make the E. coli expression system more effective and versatile.

An interspecific fusant strain, MS1, was obtained by protoplast fusion between S. peucetius subsp. caesius and S. platensis. We studied on the microbiological and cultural characteristics of the fusant MS1. In liquid culture, the viscosity of culture broth of S. peucetius increased during incubation However the fusant MS1 formed pellet like S. platensis without viscosity change. On agar medium the colony morphology of MSI resembled S. platensis but the color was similar to S. peucetius. The fermentation products of the fusant MS1 was identical with S. peucetius.

새로운 alcohol발효성 효모 균주 개발을 목적으로 S. diastaticus 와 C. tropicalis간의 세포 융합을 하여 얻은 fusant의 성질에 대해서는 제3보$^{(10)}$에서 발표한 바이다. 본 보에서 는 fusant의 glucoamylase와 pullulanase activity와 glucoamylase의 성질 및 발효력을 조사하였다. glucoamylase activity는 parent보다 fusant가 1.5배 높은 활성을 나타내었고 pullulanase activity 역시 두배의 높은 활성을 나타내었다. glucoamylase의 성질을 조사한 바 온도, pH에서 비슷한 경향을 나타내었으며 발효력을 조사하기 위하여 정치법에서는 기질을 soluble starch로 한 것 보다 liquefied potato starch에서 alcohol 생성력이 2배 증가되었으며 발효력 또한 더 나았다. 15% 액화한 potato starch를 기질로하여 jar-fermenter에서 발효시켰을 때 당화율 94%에서 생성된 alcohol이 7.8% (v/v)이고 소비된 당에 대한 발효율은 78%였다.

Effects of IPTG induction on cell growth and production of ${\beta}$-galactosidase-preS2 fusion protein (${\beta}$gal-preS2) were studied in a defined medium using a recombinant Escherichia coli JM109/pCMHB30. IPTG was added (0.2 mM) to induce the cloned-gene expression in the early-, mid-, and late-log growth phases. The most serious decreases in growth rate and plasmid stability were observed for the induction in the early-log growth phase. The expression level of ${\beta}$gal-preS2 attained by the induction in the mid-log phase was about 0.51 mg fusion protein/mg total cellular protein, which was 2- and 5-fold improvement over the levels obtained with the inductions in the early- and late-log phases. Formation of acidic byproducts including acetate and pyruvate showed different profiles during the fermentation period for each cases of induction; pyruvate was the major byproduct for the induction in the early-log phase while acetate production became more significant for the cases of inductions in the mid- and late-log phases.

본 실험의 목적은 starch의 alcohol발효에 있어서 전분의 $\alpha$-1.4 linkage을 분해하여 alcohol발효를 하는 S diastaticus와 전분 중의 $\alpha$-1.4, $\alpha$-1.6 linkage를 모두 분해할 수 있는 C. tropicalis 간의 이속간의 protoplast fusion을 시켰다. 이때 세포 융합의 빈도는 $10^{-5}$-$10^{-6}$이였으며, 이틀 융합체중 amylase 생성능과 유전적으로 안정한 융합체를 분리하였다. fusant의 성질을 조사하기 위하여 탄소원 자화능을 조사한바 parent와 달리 탄소원 자화능이 일부 보완됨을 보였고 또한 fusant는 원 parent보다 세포의 크기가 클 뿐만아니라, DNA함량도 많았다. spore형성능은 S. diastaticus A4는 spore를 형성하나 C. tropicalis는 형성할 수 없는 반면에 fusant는 형성하였고, Cu$^{++}$ 내성과 NaCl 내염성도 조사하였는데 fusant는 parent의 중간 성질을 가졌다. Fusant의 증식율을 조사하기 위하여 생육도를 조사한 결과 Parent보다 유도기가 길었음을 알았다.

Protoplast production from Trichoderma koningii ATCC 26113 was investigated for the purpose of doing basic and applied researches by protoplast fusion of the cellulolytic filamentous fungus. High yields of protoplast were obtained by using the 18hr. old mycelia treated with the lytic enzyme Driselase of Kyowa Fermentation Co., Japan, in 0.6M $MgSO_4\;or\;(NH_4)_2SO_4$ as osmotic stabilizers. The optimum temeprature of mycelial digestion was about $28^{\circ}C$ and the number of protoplast increased rapidly after 3hr. digestion. Protoplasts produced at different periods showed distinct morphological heterogeneities in the whole size and the size of vacuole.
