고온기 분식 칼랑코에 재배에 있어 문제는 고온 스트레서에 의한 생장의 억제로, 본 연구는 지하부 및 지상부의 생장을 촉진을 시킬 수 있다고 알려진 근권 생장촉진미생물(Pseudomonas sp. B와 Pseudomonas sp. D2)을 선발하여 사용하였으며 천연물로서는 alginoligosaccharide와 glucosamine oligosaccharide를 사용하였다. 또한 이들의 AG-용액과 단일 및 복합 처리하여 재배 온도차이를 부여한 경우 칼랑코에의 생장에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 상이한 지하부 온도조건은 25$^{\circ}C$, 30$^{\circ}C$ 및 35$^{\circ}C$로 처리하여, 2주후 초장, 엽장,엽폭, 엽면적, 엽중, 지상부 생체중, 근장, 근중을 조사하였다. 25$^{\circ}C$처리구에서는 초장, 엽면적, 엽중, 근중 모두 Pseudomonas sp. B와 glucosamine oligosaccharide를 혼합한 처리구가 가장 높았고, 30$^{\circ}C$의 경우 초장과 엽중은 glusosamine oligosaccharide처리에서, 엽면적과 근중은 Pseudomonas sp. D2와 algin-oligosaccharide를 처리구에서 가장 좋은 생장 효과를 나타내었다. 35$^{\circ}C$의 경우는 초장, 엽면적, 엽중, 근중 모두 Pseudomonas sp. B와 glucosamine oligosaccharide를 혼합한 처리구에서 효과가 컸다. 이상의 결과로 보아 고온기 칼랑코에의 분화 재배시 문제가 되는 생장억제현상은 천연제재와 미생물 제재를 혼합처리 함으로써 크게 개선시킬 수 있었다.

Tyrosinase (monophenol. 3.4-${\beta}$-dihydroxyphenylalanin oxygen oxidoreductase. EC 1.14.18.1 J. which plays a pivotal role in melanogenesis. It is single chain glycoprotein catalyzing the hydroxylation of tyrosine to ${\beta$\mid$$-3.4-dihydroxyphenylalanin (DOPA) and the oxidation of DOPA to DOPA quinone. To investigate whitening effect of chitosan oligosaccharide. we obtained chitosan oligosaccharide ［(glucosamine)2-6］ by NaNO2 oxidation and measured the effect of chitosan oligosaccharide on tyrosinase activity. Chitosan oligosaccharide dose-dependently inhibited tyrosinase (2 unit) activity and inhibited by 18.8% at dose of 100${\mu}$g/ml. Vitamin C. arbutin and kojic acid that are well known to be inhibitor of melanin production dose-dependently inhibited tyrosinase (2unit) activity. These results suggest that chitosan oligosaccharide may be used as inhibitor of melanin production in melanocyte. which will be further studied.

Since the number of amino groups which are exposed by deacetylation of acetyl-D-glucosamine influences antimicrobial activity, a chitosan oligosaccharide (COS) derivative by N-conjugation of COS with asparagine, an amino acid with two amino groups, was synthesized and the antimicrobial effect on E. coli growth was compared with other COS derivatives which were N-conjugated with glycine, alanine, aspartic acid, cysteins, an methionine, and unmodified COS. The structure of asparagine N-conjugated COS (Asn-COS) derivative was identified by using a FT-IR, $^{13}C\;FT-NMR$, and an elemental analyzer. The antimicrobial activity of Asn-COS against E. coli growth was significantly improved as compared to the other COS derivatives as well as COS itself. This means that Asn-COS with two positive charges strongly interacts with the carboxyl negative charges on the bacteria cell wall. The results for Asn-COS were as follows: 100% bactericidal activity, 0.002% MIC, and no growth of E. coli during 3 days of culture time, suggesting that Asn-COS may be useful as a new antibiotic agent.

The purified endochitosanase(Mw 41 kDa) from bacterium Bacillus cereus D-11 hydrolyzed chitooligomers $(GlcN)_{5-7}$ into chitobiose, chitotriose, and chitotetraose as the final products. The minimal size of the oligosaccharides for enzymatic hydrolysis was a pentamer. To further investigate the cleavage pattern of this enzyme, chitooligosaccharide alcohols were prepared as substrates and the end products of hydrolysis were analyzed by TLC and HPLC. The chitosanase split $(GlcN)_4GlcNOH$ into $(GlcN)_3+(GlcN)_1GlcNOH$, and $(GlcN)_5GIcNOH$ into $(GlcN)_4+(GlcN)_1GlcNOH$ and $(GlcN)_3+(GlcN)_2GlcNOH$. The heptamer $(GlcN)_6GlcNOH$ was split into $(GlcN)_5$ [thereafter hydrolyzed again into $(GlcN_3+(GlcN)2]+(GlcN)_1GlcNOH$, $(GlcN)_4+(GlcN)_2GlcNOH$, and $(GlcN)_3+(GlcN)_3GlcNOH$, whereas $(GlcN)_{1-3}GlcNOH$ was not hydrolyzed. The monomers GlcN and GIcNOH were never detected from the enzyme reaction. These results suggest that D-11 chitosanase recognizes three glucosamine residues in the minus position and simultaneously two residues in the plus position from the cleavage point.

Milk oligosaccharides are the complex mixture of six monosaccharides namely, D-glucose, D-galactose, N-acetyl-glucosamine, N-acetyl-galactosamine, L-fucose, and N-acetyl-neuraminic acid. The mixture is categorized as neutral and acidic classes. Previously, 25 oligosaccharides in bovine milk and 115 oligosaccharides in human milk have been characterized. Because human intestine lacks the enzyme to hydrolyze the oligosaccharide structures, these substances can reach the colon without degradation and are known to have many health beneficial functions. It has been shown that this fraction of carbohydrate can increase the bifidobacterial population in the intestine and colon, resulting in a significant reduction of pathogenic bacteria. The role of milk oligosaccharides as a barrier against pathogens binding to the cell surface has recently been demonstrated. Milk oligosaccharides have the potential to produce immuno-modulation effects. It is also well known that oligosaccharides in milk have a significant influence on intestinal mineral absorption and in the formation of the brain and central nervous system. Due to its structural resemblance, bovine milk is considered to be the most potential source of oligosaccharides to produce the same effect of oligosaccharides present in human milk. This review describes the characteristics and potential health benefits of milk oligosaccharides as well as the prospects of oligosaccharides in bovine milk for use in functional foods.

Plant-derived natural products have been and will continue to be valuable sources. Elicitors have been employed to modify cell metabolism in order to enhance the productivity of useful metabolites in plant cell/tissue cultures. In this study, several elicitors were used to improve the productivity of useful metabolites and to reduce culture time for archiving high concentration in P. ginseng hairy root cultures. The addition of chitosan, chitosan oligosaccharide and alginate oligosaccharide to the culture of P. ginseng hairy roots caused growth to be inhibited with the increase in elicitor concentration. The usage of the chitosan elicitor and D-glucosamine caused a slight decrease in hairy root growth, whereas total ginseng saponin accumulated slightly with the increase in elicitor concentration. When gel beads were added to the culture medium at the initial period, hairy root growth was enhanced. The maximum growth was 1.35 times higher than that of the control at $1\%$ (w/v). Total ginseng saponin content decreased due to the addition of alginate beads. This would result in consistent diffusion of lower levels of calcium ions during the culture period that promotes biomass growth.

Ulex europaeus agglutinin I(UEA I), succinylated wheat germ agglutinin(sWGA), Griffonia simplicifolia lectin-I(GSL-I)을 이용하여 생쥐 부정소 조직내 당쇄의 분포를 조사하였다. 당쇄의 측쇄 말단의 $\alpha$-L-fucose 잔기에 특이적으로 결합하는 UEA I은 체부 및 미부 부정소를 제외한 두부 부정소 선단의 세정관 상피를 강하게 표지하였으나 관강은 중간 정도의 강도로 모두 표지되어 $\alpha$-L-fucose 잔기를 갖는 부정소 항원들은 부정소 선단부에서 주로 합성된 후 분비되는 것으로 추정된다. 이와 반대로 당쇄 말단의 $\alpha$-D-galactose 잔기에 특이적으로 결합하는 GSL-I은 두부 부정소를 제외한 체부와 미부 부정소 상피의 투명세포의 세포질과 섬모 및 기저세포를 표지하였다. 다당 사슬 및 복잡한 구조를 갖는 glycan의 당쇄의 N-acetyl-giucosamine 잔기에 특이적으로 결합하는sWCA는 부정소 부위별로 커다란 차이를 보이지 않았으나, 체부와 미부 부정소의 투명세포는 주세포에 비해 더 강하게 표지되어 sWGA 표지는 투명세포 기능분화의 표식자로 추측된다. UEA I 및 sWGA에 의한 관강의 표지 강도는 체부보다는 미부에서 약하게 관찰되어 미부 부정소 관강내에 $\alpha$-L-fucose 및 N-acetyl-glucosamine 잔기의 절단과 관련된 효소활성이 존재하는 것으로 추정된다. 요약하면 $\alpha$-L-fucose, $\alpha$-D-galactose, N-acetyl-glucosamine 잔기를 갖는 당쇄의 분포가 상피세포의 종류 및 부정소의 길이를 따라 차이를 보임을 확인하였다. 이는 정자의 성숙을 조절하는 부정소 각 절편 및 특정 절편 내 소관상피 세포의 기능적 분화를 대변하는 것으로 사료된다.

The epidermal organ of the leech contains a complex glycoprotein molecule of mucus. The mucus excreted from annelids plays Significant role in protection against desiccation and parasites. Mucus from the Korean native leech, H. nipponia, was investigated for biochemical characteristics for possible development of biomaterials of cosmetic and pharmaceutical agents. The leech skin mucus was heavily glycosylated mucin-like protein with a high molecular weight comprised 80% carbohydrate and 20% protein. Threonine, serine, and glycine were the major components of the isolated protein and these accounted for 50% of total amino acids. The carbohydrate portion contained glucosamine, galactosamine. galactose, glucose. mannose and sialic acid in oligosaccharide form linked with threonine and serine residues of the glycoprotein.

The major classes of antimicrobial agents for textiles include organo-metallics, phenols, quaternary ammonium salts, and organo-silicones. These finishes should be durable, have selective activity towards undesirable organisms, be compatible with other finishes and dyes, and be nontoxic to man [1]. Chitosan, as a deacetylated derivative of chitin, is a natural, non-toxic and biodegradable polymer. Chitosan is also known as an antimicrobial polysaccharide due to antimicrobial action of the amino group at the C-2 position of the glucosamine residue.(omitted)
