Trifoliate orange seed extracts (TSEs) were prepared from different solvents, water (TW), ethanol (TE), and n-hexane (TH), and assessed for their antimicrobial activities against six gram-negative food-borne pathogens (Escherichia coli KCTC 1039, Escherichia coli O157:H7 ATCC 43895, Salmonella Enteritidis ATCC 3311, Salmonella Typhimurium KCCM 11862, Shigella sonnei KCTC 2518, and Vibrio parahaemolyticus ATCC 17802). Among the tested TSEs, TE and TH showed a slight inhibition activity on V. parahaemolyticus ATCC 17802, but a good growth inhibition activity on Sal. Typhimurium KCCM 11862. TH and TE showed steady growth inhibition activity with increasing growth time after 6 hr when compared to the control (p<0.05). From these results, we confirmed the possibility of TH and TE as antimicrobial materials.

Effect of inhibitors on Vibrio parahaemolyticus cell growth and its urease activity was studied. The growth of the bacterium and the enzyme activity were inhibited by the addition of 0.02% p-hydroxymercuric benzoate, $HgCl_2$and $AgNO_3$. However, same concentration of boric acid, thallium acetate and $Pb(NO_3)_2$ did not affect the cell growth but inhibited urease activity by 25%, 29%, and 38%, respectively. Acetohydroxamic acid was the most potent inhibitor on cell growth by inhibiting 40% but did not affect urease activity. To investigate the effect of inhibitors on urease activity, urease was purified and confirmed on SDS-PAGE. The purified urease was inhibited 100% by the addition of 1 mM acetohydroxamic acid and $AgNO_3$but no inhibition was occurred by the addition of the same concentration of thallium acetate. and the addition of 0.01 mM of $HgCl_2$ and acetohydroxamic acid inhibited the purified urease activity by 39% and 24%, respectively. On 0.1 millimolar basic, acetohydroxamic acid and $HgCl_2$inhibited 4 times more active in urease inhibition than p-hydroxymercuric benzoate whereas no inhibition was occurred either thallium acetate or $Pb(NO_3)_2$.

The effect of various supplies of lead singly and in combination with aluminium on growth and chlorophyll biosynthesis was investigated in 7-day-old Vigna anguluris seedlings. Expose to 50 $\mu$N Pb or more drastically reduced root elongation rate. Significant depressions in root growth was observed within 1 day and no recovery of growth was seen over the duration of treatment period. Root elongation decreased depending on the Pb concentrations. Root growth inhibition was stronger than shoot growth inhibition. The initiation of lateral roots appeared to be more sensitive to Pb than the growth of main roots. Inhibition of root and shoot elongation by Pb was lessened by combined exposure of Pb and Al, suggesting that the presence of AA reverse the inhibitory effect of Pb alone. With the histochemical sodium rhodizonate method the rate of Pb uptake was dependent on the Pb concentration and exposure time of the roots to Pb salts. Pb was first deposited on the root surface and then translocated radially in the root cap cells. During a longer Pb administration (up to 72 h) Pb penetration was nonuniform, with accumulation within the cortex or endodermis. There was drastic reduction in chlorophyll content by Pb. The Pb inhibition of chlorophyll synthesis was concentration dependent. 5-Aminolevulinic acid dehydratase (ALAD) activity exhibited distinct inhibition from control. Reduction in chlorophyll content was accompanied by proportional changes in ALAD activity. Chlorophyll content and ALAD activity were less affected by combined exposure of Pb and Al, suggesting that Al has a protective effect against the inhibiting action of Pb on photosynthetic activity.

Alteromonas sp. SR-14의 배양여액을 사용하여 C. calcitrans의 증식에 미치는 영향과 조류 증식저해 물질의 특성을 살펴보았다. Alteromonas sp. SR-14의 peptone broth 배양여액은 C. calcitrans에 대하여 증식 저해 활성을 나타내었으며, 이 균에 의한 조류 증식 저해 물질은 온도 $15~20^{\circ}C$, pH 7.0~9.0, 염분 농도 $23~30{\textperthousand}$의배양 조건에서 강한 활성으로 생성되었으며, 이러한 조건(온도 $20^{\circ}C$, pH 8.0, 염분 농도 $30\textperthousand$)에서는 정지기부터 활성이 증가하였다. Alteromonas sp. SR-14가 peptone broth에서 생산하는 조류 증식 저해 물질의 분자량은 약 3KDa~12KDa의 복합 물질이었는데, $100^{\circ}C$에서 10분간 열처리하였을 때 3~10KDa 이하의 물질은 내열성이 있었으나 10KDa 이상의 물질은 불활성 되었다.

섬애약쑥, 인진쑥, 약쑥, 강화사자발쑥 및 개똥쑥 열수 추출물을 제조한 다음 항산화 및 항암활성을 비교 분석하였다. 5종의 쑥 추출물 중 총 페놀 함량은 인진쑥에서 유의적으로 가장 높았으며, 다음으로 섬애약쑥, 개똥쑥, 약쑥 및 강화사자발쑥 순이었다. 플라보노이드 함량도 인진쑥이 가장 높았고, 섬애약쑥은 인진쑥과 유의차가 없었다. 추출물의 농도를 달리하여 항산화능을 측정한 결과, DPPH 라디칼 소거능은 50 ${\mu}g/ml$ 농도에서 섬애약쑥의 활성이 가장 높았고, NO 라디칼 소거능은 200 ${\mu}g/ml$ 농도에서 약쑥, 강화사자발쑥 및 개똥쑥이 약 50% 이상의 활성을 나타내었으며, 이들 시료간에 유의차는 없었다. FRAP법에 의한 항산화능은 섬애약쑥 및 인진쑥에서 높게 나타났으며, ${\beta}$-carotene 존재 하에서의 항산화능 또한 섬애약쑥 및 인진쑥이 100 ${\mu}g/ml$ 농도에서 50% 이상의 높은 활성을 나타내었다. 400 ${\mu}g/ml$ 농도에서 인체 자궁경부 상피암 세포인 HeLa의 증식억제 활성은 인진쑥이 80% 이상으로 활성이 높았고, 유방암 세포인 MCF-7의 대해서는 강화사자발쑥과 섬애약쑥이 80% 이상의 증식억제 활성을 보였다. 이상의 결과, 쑥 추출물은 높은 항산화 활성과 암세포 증식억제 활성을 나타내었으며, 특히 항산화 활성은 ascorbic acid 이상의 높은 활성을 나타내어 천연 기능성 식품 소재로써 활용 가치가 높을 것으로 생각된다.

Antifungal activity of Korean and Chinese lichen-forming fungi (LFF) was evaluated against plant pathogenic fungus of Colletotrichum acutatum, causal agent of anthracnose on hot pepper. This is the first attempt to evaluate antifungal activity of LFF, instead of lichen thalli, against C. acutatum. Total 100 LFF were isolated from the lichens with discharged spore method or tissue culture method. Among the 100 isolates, 8 LFF showed more than 50% of inhibition rates of mycelial growth of the target pathogen. Especially, Lecanora argentata was highly effective in inhibition of mycelial growth of C. accutatum at the rate of 68%. Antifungal activity of other LFF was in the order of Cetrelia japonica (61.4%), Ramalina conduplicans (59.5%), Umbilicaria esculenta (59.5%), Ramalina litoralis (56.7%), Cetrelia braunsiana (56.5%), Nephromopsis pallescensn (56.1%), and Parmelia simplicior (53.8%). Among the tested LFF, 61 isolates of LFF exhibited moderate antifungal activity against the target pathogen at the inhibition rates from 30 to 50%. Antifungal activity of the LFF against C. acutatum was variable at the species level rather than genus level of LFF. This study suggests that LFF can be served as a promising bioresource to develop novel biofungicides.

Helicobacter pylori were found to be resistant to azide but sensitive to vanadate, suggesting that defect in the P-type ATPase activity rather than F-type ATPase would be lethal to cell survival or growth. To elucidate the relationship between this enzyme inhibition and H. pylori death, we determined the effect of omeprazole (OMP) plus vanadate on enzyme activity and cell growth. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC; ca. 0.8$\mu$mol/disk) of vanadate for H. pylori growth was lowered over l0-fold with the aid of OMP, whereby its inhibitory potential toward the P-type ATPase activity was diametrically increased. Alternatively, we found that this enzyme activity was essential for active transport in H. pylori. From these observations, we strongly suggest that the immediate cause of the growth inhibition of H. pylori cells with OMP and/or vanadate might be defective in the cell's active transport due to the lack of P-type ATPase activity. From the spectral data with circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy, we found that activated OMP (OAS) at concentration below MIC did not disrupt helical structures of membrane proteins. Separately, we determined the cytopathic effect of OAS by SDS-PAGE, indicating the change in the production of cytoplasmic protein but not cell membrane.
