Inhibition of 4-nitroquinoline-1-oxide (4-NQO) genotoxicity by a probiotic strain of Lactobacillus rhamnosus (IMC501) was assessed by the prokaryotic short-term bioassay SOSChromotest, using Escherichia coli PQ37 as the target organism. Results showed the ability of strain IMC501 to rapidly and markedly counteract, in vitro, the DNA damage originated by the considered genotoxin. The inhibition was associated with a spectroscopic hypsochromic shift of the original 4-NQO profile and progressive absorbance increase of a new peak. IR-Raman and GC-MS analyses confirmed the disappearance of 4-NQO after contact with the microorganism, showing also the absence of any genotoxic molecule potentially available for metabolic activation (i.e., 4-hydroxyaminoquinoline-1-oxide and 4-nitrosoquinoline-1-oxide). Furthermore, we have shown the presence of the phenyl-quinoline and its isomers as major non-genotoxic conversion products, which led to the hypothesis of a possible pattern of molecular transformation. These findings increase knowledge on lactobacilli physiology and contribute to the further consideration of antigenotoxicity as a nonconventional functional property of particular probiotic strains.

The fading of dyed material by light has long been subject of investigation, yet surprisingly little is known of the fundamental photochemical reactions, because of mainly the complex nature of dye-fibre system. The effect of the chemical structure of dye on lightfastness has been mostly studied when there is substituents on the place satisfied Hammett rule. Therefore, in this investigation the effectiveness of chemical structures of Congo Red and Benzopurpurine 4B unsatisfied Hammett rule on dyeing property and lightfastness of cotton was studied. The results obtained from this study were as follows; 1. Highly polar solvents showed hypsochromic shift. 2. Adsorption isotherm curves of the two dyes were Freundlich type. And Congo Red showed good dyeing property in comparision with Benzopurpurine 4B. 3. The type of the FR curve of the two dyes was first-ordr curve. And the CF curves of the two dyes showed normal fading state during irradiation. 4. During irradiation, the Hue was changed on the part of yellowish. The Value was increasing and the Chroma was decreasing. 5. Benzopurpurine 4B showed good lightfastness in comparision with Congo Red.

우리나라에서 대량 생산되고 있는 진주담치 근육에서 Triton X-100를 사용하여 carotenoprotein을 추출, 정제하여 그 특성을 실험한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. Carotenoprotein(${\lambda}_{max}=462nm$)를 $20\%$(w/v) $(NH_4)_2SO_4$, DEAE-cellulose 이온교환수지 그리고 Sephacryl S-300 겔 크로마토그래피를 통해 정제한 결과, 정제도는 5배 증가하였고 수율은 $1.85\%$였으며, carotenoprotein의 분자량은 약 372KDa(gel filtration)이었고, SDS-PAG 전기영동으로 단백질의 subunit를 확인한 결과, 60KDa($23.70\%$), 46.9KDa($9.14\%$), 26KDa($49.14\%$) 및 13KDa($18.02\%$)로 이루어져 있었다. Carotenoprotein의 안정성은 pH 4.0 이하의 강산 및 pH 10.0 이상의 강알칼리에서는 단백질이 불안정하였고, SDS 변성제를 $0.2\%$(w/v)되게 첨가하여 녹인 후 가시부 영역($400{\sim}600nm$)에서 최대파장 변화를 보면 462nm에서 456nm로 약 6nm 단파장 영역으로 이동한 것을 알 수 있었다. Carotenoprotein의 구성아미노산 조성은 threonine이 $35.90\%$로 다른 아미노산에 비해 함량이 높았으며, 필수아미노산과 소수성 아미노산의 함량은 전체아미노산 함량의 각각 $62.76\%$와 $25.02\%$를 차지하였고, methionine, histidine 및 proline은 존재하지 않았다. Carotenoprotein 1g당 총지질의 함량은 256mg였고, 그 구성지방산의 조성은 polyene산이 $62.4\%$로 가장 많았고 다음으로 포화산($19.58\%$)및 monoene산($18\%$) 순이었다. 특히, 16:4n-3의 조성비가 $33.90\%$로 상당히 높게 나타났고, EPA, DHA 등 w3 계의 장쇄(長鎖)고도불포화지방산의 조성비가 $22.13\%$로 높게 나타났으며, 양적으로 많은 지방산은 포화산 중에는 palmitic acid($C_{16:0}$), monoene산 중에서는 palmitoleic acid($C_{16:1}$), polyene산 중에서는 hexadecatetraenoic acid($C_{16:4}$), eicosapentaenoic acid ($C_{20:5}$), docosahexaenoic acid($C_{22:6}$) 등이 함량이 많았다. Carotenoprotein으로부터 분리한 총 caroteoid 함량은 $8.80mg\%$였고, 주 carotenoid는 mytiloxanthin($74.79\%$), 3,4,3'-trihydroxy-7',8'-didehydro-${\beta}$-carotene($18.26\%$)였다.
