Cellulase and xylanase are main hydrolysis enzymes for the degradation of cellulosic and hemicellulosic biomass, respectively. In this study, our aim was to develop and test the efficacy of a rapid, high-throughput method to screen hydrolytic-enzyme-producing microbes. To accomplish this, we modified the 3,5-dinitrosalicylic acid (DNS) method for microwell plate-based screening. Targeted microbial samples were initially cultured on agar plates with both cellulose and xylan as substrates. Then, isolated colonies were subcultured in broth media containing yeast extract and either cellulose or xylan. The supernatants of the culture broth were tested with our modified DNS screening method in a 96-microwell plate, with a $200{\mu}l$ total reaction volume. In addition, the stability and reliability of glucose and xylose standards, which were used to determine the enzymatic activity, were studied at $100^{\circ}C$ for different time intervals in a dry oven. It was concluded that the minimum incubation time required for stable color development of the standard solution is 20 min. With this technique, we successfully screened 21 and 31 cellulase- and xylanase-producing strains, respectively, in a single experimental trial. Among the identified strains, 19 showed both cellulose and xylan hydrolyzing activities. These microbes can be applied to bioethanol production from cellulosic and hemicellulosic biomass.

가정에서 제조된 된장으로부터 lactose를 glucose와 galactose로 가수분해하는 균체외 ${\beta}$-galactosidase의 생산균이 분리되었다. 분리균 YB-1414는 형태적 특성, 생화학적 성질 및 16S rRNA 유전자 염기서열에 근거하여 Bacillus licheniformis로 확인되었다. 탄소원과 질소원으로 밀기울 (1%)과 yeast extract (2.5%)를 사용하였을 때 B. licheniformis YB-1414의 ${\beta}$-galactosidase 생산성이 최대 6.2 U/ml에 이르렀다. 특히 밀기울의 불용성 성분이 수용성 성분보다 ${\beta}$-galactosidase 생산성을 더 증가 시키는 것으로 확인되었다. ${\beta}$-galactosidase의 para-nitrophenyl-${\beta}$-D-galactopyranoside 가수분해 활성은 pH 6.0과 $55-60^{\circ}C$에서 가장 높았으며, 낮은 농도의 galactose에 의해서도 크게 저해를 받았다. 그러나 glucose에 의해서는 ${\beta}$-galactosidase의 가수분해 활성이 약하게 저해를 받으며 400 mM glucose가 존재하여도 최대 활성의 85%에 해당하는 가수분해 활성을 보였다.

The digestibility of xylooligosaccharide(XO) by juices of the digestive tract and retardation effect of XO on the adsorption of bile acids were compared with fructooligosaccharide(FO) and isomaltooligosaccharide(IO). In vitro digestion experiments showed that any hydrolyzed products of FO, IO and XO were not detected by HPLC after reaction with saliva, pancreatic, artifical intesteinal, and large intestinal luices, and artifical sera for 4 hours at 37$^{\circ}C$. However, IO were mostly digested by the small intestinal juice, and some quantity of FO were digested. XO were not digested at all by any enzyme of digestive tract. In order to investigate retardation effect of XO on the bile acid absorption. In vitro, permeability of bile acid against dialysis membrane was determined in the mixture which contained guar gum instead of XO was set 100%. The premeability of bile acid showed about 50% in the FO and IO mixture and 43% in the XO mixture. The activity of lactase in FO group and activity of sucrase and maltase in XO group in rat small intestinal mucosa were significantly decreased. Consequently, the present results indicate that XO is indigestible in digestive tract and has retarding effect of adsorption of bile acid compared with the other oligosaccharides. The disaccharidase activity of the XO dietary group was lower than that of the other oligosaccharides dietary group. Furthermore, it was suggested that hydrolysis of sugar may be retarded in digestive tract and glucose level in blood may be controlled effectively by the XO.

본 연구에서는 반응표면분석법 (RSM)을 따른 고추 대의 묽은 황산을 이용한 자일로즈 분별 공정을 통해 고추대 시료로부터 최적의 자일로즈 수율을 얻을 수 있는 반응조건을 예측할 수 있었다. 실제 실험 결과 최적 반응은 온도 $147^{\circ}C$, 산 농도 2.8% $H_2SO_4$, 반응시간 21 min. 임을 알 수 있었고 최적 조건에서의 실험결과는 예측 값 78% 보다 약 7% 낮은 71% 자일로즈 수율을 얻을 수 있었다. SEM과 XRD분석을 통해 전처리 전후의 시료의 이미지 분석을 하여 산 전처리 공정을 통해 섬유소 기질 외 다른 성분인 반 섬유소가 분해 되어 추출액상으로 자일로즈로 용해 되었음을 가시적으로 확인 할 수 있었고 전처리 된 고추대의 결정화 도가 전처리 전보다 증가했음을 확인 할 수 있었다. 이로써 비결정성 물질인 반섬유소와 기타 성분들이 묽은 황산을 이용한 자일로즈 분별공정에 의해 분리되었음을 확인하였다.

By varying groups on biologically active molecules, it is possible to produce analogues which sometimes inhibit the action of the parent compound. Such is true of taurine(${\beta}$-amino-ethane sulfonic acid)as an analogue of ${\beta}$-alanine and of pantoyl taurine for pantothenic acid. It seemed possible that the sulfonic acid analogues of amino acids built into peptides might possibly produce inhibition of the parent peptide. Tauryl-L-histidine was selected to prepare as an analogue of carnosine(${\beta}$-alanyl-L-histidine). There were several reasons for this choice. Camosine causes a slight contraction of isolated uterine muscle and inhibition of this action can be easily tested. Also, taurine, being a ${\beta}$-amino sulfonic acid, is much more stable than the ${\beta}$-amino sulfonic acids. Phthalyl tauryl-L-histidine methyl ester was prepared by condensing phthalyl tauryl chloride with histidine methyl ester in chloroform. The yields were quite low possibly due to reaction between the acid chloride and the imidazole of histidine. Approximately 50 per cent yield of crude amorphous product was obtained, but upon purification by crystallization they yielded only 25 percent of a pure product. The methyl ester was removed by acid hydrolysis to prevent partial cleavage of the phthalyl group. Crystalline tauryl histidine was then obtained from this acid by removal of the phthalyl group by hydrazinolysis. Tests for inhibition were carried out by comparing the action of camosine on isolated uterine muscle before and after tauryl histidine had been added to the bath surrounding the muscle strip. Only in very high relative concentrations of tauryl histidine was there any demonstrable inhibition.

The Mg-enriched magnesium aluminum silicate (MAS) glass is known for its higher mechanical strength and chemical resistance. Among such glasses, cordierite ($Mg_2Al_4Si_5O_{18}$) is well known to have a low thermal expansion and low melting point. Polycrystalline engineering ceramics such as alumina can be strengthened by a surface modification with low thermal expansion materials. The present study involves the synthesis of cordierite by a sol-gel process and investigates the effect of glass penetration on the surface of alumina. The cordierite powders were prepared from $Al(OC_3H_7)_3$, $Mg(OC_2H_5)_2$ and tetraethyl orthosilicate by hydrolysis and condensation reaction. The cordierite powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD, Rigaku), scanning electron microscope (SEM, JEOL: JSM-5610), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS, JEOL: JSM-5610), and universal testing machine (UTM, INSTRON). The X-ray diffraction patterns showed that the synthesized particles were ${\mu}$-cordierite calcined at $1100^{\circ}C$ for 1 h. The shape of synthesized cordierite was changed from ${\mu}$-cordierite to ${\alpha}$-cordierite with increasing calcination temperature. Synthesized cordierite was used for surface modification of alumina. Cordierite powders penetrated deeply into the alumina sample along grain boundaries with increasing temperature. The results of surface modification tests showed that the strength of the prepared alumina sample increased after surface modification. The strength of a surface modified with synthesized cordierite increased the most, to about 134.6MPa.

A putative cyclomaltodextrinase (BHCD) gene was found from the genome of Bacillus halodurans C-125, which encodes 578 amino acids with a predicted molecular mass of 67,279 Da. It shares 42-59% of amino acid sequence identity with common cyclomaltodextrinase (CDase)-family enzymes. The corresponding gene was cloned by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and the dimeric enzyme with C-terminal 6-histidines was successfully overproduced and purified from recombinant Escherichia coli. BHCD showed the highest activity against ${\beta}-CD$ at pH 7.0 and $50^{\circ}C$. Due to its versatile hydrolysis and transglycosylation activities, BHCD has been confirmed as a member of CDases. However, BHCD can be distinguished from other typical CDases on the basis of its novel multisubstrate specificity. While typical CDases have over 10 times higher activity on ${\beta}-CD$ than starch or pullulan, the CD-hydrolyzing activity of BHCD is only 2.3 times higher than pullulan. In particular, it showed significantly higher activity ratio of maltotriose to acarbose than other common CDase-family enzymes.

화학증착법을 사용하여 다공성 Vycor 유리에 선택적 수소 투과성 실리카 막을 제조하였다. 화학증착에는 $SiCl_4$의 가수분해 반응이 이용되었으며, 반응물인 $SiCl_4$와 물을 서로 반대 방향으로 주입하여 막을 제조하는 opposing-reactants film deposition방법과, 반응물을 다공성 유리관의 한쪽으로만 공급하는 one-sided film deposition 방법을 모두 사용하였다. 제조된 실리카 막을 통한 수소의 투과도는 $600^{\circ}C$ 이상의 온도에서 $0.01-0.25cm^3(STP)/cm^2-min-atm$의 범위에 있었으며, 수소의 질소에 대한 투과도 비는 1000정도였고, 온도의 증가에 따라 실리카 막을 통한 수소 및 질소의 투과도는 증가하였다. Opposing reactants film deposition 방법으로 제조된 실리카 막은 비교적 안정성은 높으나 수소의 투과도가 낮은 반면, one-sided film deposition 방법을 사용하면 수소의 투과도는 높으나 안정성이 낮은 막이 얻어졌다. 이러한 실리카 막은 고온에서의 기체분리 및 분리막 반응기에 응용하기 위하여는 높은 선택적투과성 및 안정성이 요구되며 막 제조 조건 및 방법이 최적화되어야 함을 알 수 있었다.
