Strains of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici isolated from Korea, Japan and U.S.A. were used for electrophoretic karyotype (EK) analysis. Chromosome separations on FastLane agarose gels (FMC BioProducts, Rockland, ME), called pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), were performed by CHEF-DRII apparatus (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Melville, NY) using TAE as a running buffer. To obtain optimal condition for separation of chromosome sized DNAs, variable running conditions such as field strengths, swithching intervals, and running time were applied in CHEF gel electrophoresis. We were able to resolve 9 to 11 chromosome sized DNAs ranging in size from 0.76 to 6.41 Mb in isolates from Korea and estimate that the total genome size was ranging from 35.29 to 38.92 Mb. Distinct differences in length range and genome size exist among isolates from different countries. Isolates from Japan and U.S.A. were resolved 9 to 11 chromosome sized DNAs ranging in size from 1.24 to 6.85 Mb and estimated that the total genome size was ranging from 35.32 to 43.87 Mb. Isolates from variable provinces in Korea had the same or similar chromosomal polymorphism and showed different chromosomal DNA patterns compared to isolates from the other countries.

One acetolactate synthase isozyme which has Rf value of 0.83 on polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis was purified from Sewatia marcescens ATCC 25419 by ammonium sulfate fractionation, DEAE-Sephacel chromatography, Phenyl-Sepharose chromatography, Sephacryt S-400 gel filtration followed by native gel elution. The native molecular weight of the enzyme was determined to be 531,400 by gel filtration method, and SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis separated the native enzyme into two polypeptides having molecular sizes of 55,000 and 38,900 respectively. In kinetic parameters, $K_m$ value for pyruvate was 2.54 mM, and $V_{max}$ was 21.75 nmoie/min/mg. The enzyme showed maximal activity around pH 8.0 and optimal temperature of the acetolactate formation was $37^{\circ}C$. Feedback inhibition studies indicate that the purified enzyme is rather resistant to branched chain amino acids when compared with acetolactate synthase isozymes of plants or other enterobacteria.

A juvenile hormone binding protein (JHBP) has been isolated from the whole body homogenate of Galleria rnellonella final instar larvae by gel filtration. The isolated protein is homogenous as judged by column chromatography and gel electrophoresis in the presence and absence of denaturing agent. The JHBP has a relative molecular weight of 32 k by denaturing gel electrophresis and 28 k by gel filtration. The protein exhibits a dissociation constant of 3.9 x M for JH 111.

Ascorbate oxidizing enzyme from the crude extract of Pleurotus ostreatus was purified by ammonium sulfate precipitation, preparative polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, DEAE Sepharose CL-6B ion exchange chromatography and Sephadex G-150 gel filtration chromatography. The molecular weight of the enzyme estimated by Sephadex G-150 gel filtration chromatography was 140,000 and that of its subunit by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis 66,000. The optimum pH for the maximum activity of the enzyme was 5.2 and the isoelectric point of the enzyme was 6.0 Km values for L-ascorbic acid and D-isoascorbic acid were both 2.2.$\mu$M, which indicates that the enzyme has the asme affinity towards both substrates.

Purification of the isocitrate lyase extracted from Microbacterium laevaniformans was investigated. The isocitrate lyase was purified 43.6 folds by the following continuous treatment with ammonium sulfate fraction, DEAE-cellulose, DEAE-sephacel and Sephadex G-200 chromatography. The purified isocitrate lyase was showed to be a single protein band by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The molecular weight of the purified isocitrate lyase was estimated 54,000 Da by the SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The Km and Vmax values for isocitrate were estimated to be 0.83mM and 0.33units/ml, respectively. Activity of isocitrate lyase was inhibited by cystein-HCl and glutathione.

Endocrine disruptors have been implicated in carcinogenesis in animal studies, but carcinogenetic effects on human remain controversial. In order to examine the genotoxicity of two common endocrine disruptors, Bisphenol A and Diethylstilbestrol, cytogenetic endpoints including chromosome aberration(CA), sister chromatid exchange (SCE), micronuclei (MN) analyses and DNA damage by single cell gel electrophoresis (SCGE) were assayed.(omitted)

DEAE-Cellulose, Sephadex column chromatography and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis were used to purify acid phosphatase, aryl sulfatases, ${\beta}-glucuronidase$ and cathepsin D in n-butyl alcohol extracts of porcine leukocyte Iysosomes. The degree of purification was quite high for all enzymes studied and some could be identified by histochemical reactions.

L-PHA, a lectin having lymphoagglutinating activity but devoid of erythroagglutinability which is contained in Korean white kidney bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), was isolated and purified through several techniques such as ion exchange chromatography, hydroxyapatite column and affinity chromatography. Purified L-PHA was identified as a single band by polyacrylamide disc gel electrophoresis. The molecular weight of the L-PHA was estimated about 125, 000 daltons by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and it was turned out having one subunit (probably dimer of the Yachnin's model) of Mr~60, 000. Immunochemical studies also tried and these results reconfirmed the purity of this L-PHA.
