Rhizorus oryzae의 생장 및 autolysis에 따른 여러가지 autolytic enzymes의 활성도 변화와 이 autolytic enzyme system을 이용한 원형질체 생성에 관하여 조사하였다. Autolytic·phase의 culture filtrate 내에 함유된 autolytic enzyme은 Rh. oryzae 균사체로부터의 원형질체 생성에 효율적인 세포벽 분해효소로 작용하였으며 Autolytic enzyme중 원형질체 생성은 proteolytic 및 chitosanase activity와 가장 긴밀하게 관련되어 있었다. 이와같은 autolytic enzyme을 이용한 원형질체 생성은 10시간 배양한 균사체에 0.5M mannitol을 사용하였을 때 최고의 수율을 보였으며 원형질 생성의 최적온도 및 pH는 각각 $25{\sim}30^{\circ}C$ 및 $6.0{\sim}6.5$로 나타났다 한편 18시간 배양된 균사체를 osmotic stabilizer와 aut-olytic enzyme을 1 : 1이 되도록 처리하고 5시간 동안 $30^{\circ}C$에서 incubation하여 얻은 원형질체를 주사전자현미경으로 조사한 결과 효소에 의하여 가수분해되는 세포벽 주변으로부터 원형질체가 형성되는 것을 확인하였다.

A strain of Streptomyces cavourensis subsp. cavourensis (coded as SY224) antagonistic to Colletotrichum gloeosporioides infecting pepper plants was isolated. SY224 produced lytic enzymes such as chitinase, ${\beta}$-1,3-glucanase, lipase, and protease in respective assays. To examine for antifungal activity, the treatments amended with the nonsterilized supernatant resulted in the highest growth inhibition rate of about 92.9% and 87.4% at concentrations of 30% and 10%, respectively. However, the sterilized treatments (autoclaved or chloroform treated) gave a lowered but significant inhibitory effect of about 63.4% and 62.6% for the 10% supernatant concentration, and 75.2% and 74.8% for the of 30% supernatant concentration in the PDA agar medium, respectively, indicative of the role of a non-protein, heat stable compound on the overall effect. This antifungal compound, which inhibited spore germination and altered hyphal morphology, was extracted by EtOAc and purified by ODS, silica gel, Sephadex LH-20 column, and HPLC, where an active fraction was confirmed to be 2-furancarboxaldehyde by GS-CI MS techniques. These results suggested that SY224 had a high potential in the biocontrol of anthracnose in pepper, mainly due to a combined effect of lytic enzymes and a non-protein, heat-stable antifungal compound, 2-furancarboxaldehyde.

Synechococcus sp. cyanophage의 SDS-PAGE 수행 결과 구조단백질은 두 개의 major protein(97 kDa, 52 kDa)과 최소 일곱 개의 minor protein(70 kDa, 65 kDa, 60 kDa, 40 kDa, 35 kDa, 28 kDa, 6 kDa)으로 구성되어 있는 것으로 나타났다. Subunit들은 서로 disulfide bond로 연결되어 있지는 않지만 비공유적 결합으로 multimer를 형성하여 phage particle을 구성하고 있는 것으로 보인다. 또한 heat-killed Micrococcus luteus cell을 기질로 이용한 renaturing SDS-PAGE 방법으로 phage particle내의 세포벽 분해능을 살표본 결과 52 kDa 부근에서 세포벽 분해활성이 발견되었다. 이러한 세포벽 분해활성은 최적 pH가 9~10 사이이며 EDTA에 대한 낮은 저해를 나타내었다.

The aim of this study is to elucidate the biochemical properties of manno-oligosaccharides (MOS) hydrolyzed by extracellular enzyme of Bacillus N3. We strived to characterize the biochemical properties of MOS since N3 can effectively hydrolyzed natural polymannans such as galactomannan (GM) and konjac (glucomannan, KM), respectively. The hydrolysis of GM and KM was applied by the strain N3 in terms of reducing sugars and the highest production of reducing sugars was estimated to be about 750 mg/L and 370 mg/L respectively, which were quantified after 7 days of cultivation in the presence of both substrates. Hydrolysates derived from the hydrolysis of KM showed the significant antioxidant activity based on DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activity with increasing of tyrosinase inhibitory activity. On the other hand, hydrolysates derived from the hydrolysis of GM showed only ABTS radical scavenging activity without showing significant changes on tyrosinase inhibitory activity. Our data suggest that those biological characteristics may be depend on the primary structure and the size of MOS, which may be useful as potent additives for diet foods.

Various fermented foods were screened in search of food-grade bacteria that produce bacteriocins active against Gram-negative pathogens. An isolate from a mold-ripened cheese presented antibacterial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The most active isolate was identified as Lactobacillus casei by a biochemical method, ribotyping, and membrane lipid analysis, and was designated as OSY-LB6A. The cell extracts of the isolate showed inhibition against Escherichia coli p220, E. coli O157, Salmonella enerica serovar Enteritidis, Salmonella Typhimurium, and Listeria monocytogenes. The antibacterial nature of the cell extract from the isolate was confirmed by eliminating the inhibitory effects of acid, hydrogen peroxide, and lytic bacteriophages. The culture supernatant and cell extract retained antibacterial activity after heating at $60{\sim}100^{\circ}C$ for $10{\sim}20$ min. The activity of the cell extract from Lb. casei was eliminated by pronase and lipase. Finally, the cell extract showed a bactericidal mode of action against E. coli in phosphate buffer solution, but it was bacteriostatic in broth medium and food extracts.

Phenylacetic acid (PAA) was evaluated for in vitro anti-oomycete activity and in vivo control efficacy against Phytophthora capsici. Microscopic observation revealed that the high level of anti-oomycete activity of PAA (10 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml) against P. capsici is mainly due to the lytic effect on zoospores. Zoospore lysis began in the presence of 5 u$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml of PAA and most of the zoospores were collapsed at 10 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml. PAA showed inhibitory activity against the zoospore germination and hyphal growth of P. capsici at the concentration of 50 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml. In the glasshouse, the protective effect of PAA against Phytophthora blight was high on pepper plants when treated just before inoculation with P. capsici. In the artificially infested field, protection of pepper plants against the Phyto-phthora epidemic was achieved at a considerable level by PAA treatment.

True collagenolytic enzymes in animal tissues were first demonstrated by Gross and Lapiere (1962), who showed the ability of such an enzyme in the culture medium of living explants of tadpole tissue to degrade a specific substrate of undenatured collagen under physiological conditions. Recently, tumor-associated collagenolytic activity has been demonstrated in human neoplasm and in ascites V Carcinoma. This investigation have been peforme to determine whether or not a collagen lytic enzyme could e found in isolated solid Tawa sarcoma of Donryu female rat obtained the culture medium. The results were as follows. 1. 11.5mg% of hydroxyproline contained in Donryu rat skin collagen, which was extracted by 0.5M acetic acid. 2. Cultivation of solid Tawa sarcoma tissues on reconstituted rat skin collagen gels showed lysis of adjacent gel after 18 hours, and much more extensive lysis after 5 days. 3. Collagen substrate was not attacked by the common proteolytic enzymes, trypsin, pepsin, and pronase.

A lysozyme gene from breast of Tibetan sheep was successfully expressed by secretion using a-factor signal sequence in the methylotrophic yeast, Pichia pastoris GS115. An expression yield and specific activity greater than 500 mg/L and 4,000 U/mg was obtained. Results at optimal pH and temperature showed recombinant lysozyme has higher lytic activity at pH 6.5 and $45^{\circ}C$. This study demonstrates the successful expression of recombinant lysozyme using the eukaryotic host organism P. pastoris paving the way for protein engineering. Additionally, this study shows the feasibility of subsequent industrial manufacture of the enzyme with this expression system together with a high purity scheme for easy high-yield purification.

몇 년동안 게껍질이 풍부하게 있었던 밭토양에서 강한 키틴분해능력을 가진 Trichoderma 곰팡이를 분리하였다. 분리된 곰팡이의 5.8S rRNA, partial 18S, 28S rRNA genes, ITS1, ITS2 sequence 분석과 형태학적 특징을 살펴본 결과 Trichoderma asperellum으로 동정되었고, 이를 Trichoderma asperellum T-5 (TaT-5)로 명명하였다. 이 곰팡이는 chitianse와 ${\beta}$-1,3-glucanase같은 lytic enzyme을 분비하며, 키틴배지 상에서 6가지의 항 곰팡이성 물질을 생산했다. R. solani가 원인인 오이의 모잘록병에 대해 TaT 5의 방제효과를 보기 위해서 TaT-5 배양액(TA), chitin medium(CM), 증류수(DW)를 씨를 심은 후 10일 째에 각 pot에 관주했다. 그리고 관주 1주일 후에 R. solani의 균사를 갈아서 각 pot에 주었다. 실험기간 동안에 오이의 지상부와 지하부 생체중은 다른 처리구에 비하여 TA 처리구가 더 많이 증가하였다. 오이 잎에서 PR-protein (chitianse, ${\beta}$-1,3-glucanase) 활성은 R. solani 감염 후 CM과 DW에서 증가를 보였고, TA 처리구에서는 증가하다가 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 뿌리에서는 모든 처리구가 감소하는 경향을 보였지만 TA 처리구가 CM과 DW 처리구보다 감소하는 정도가 적었다. 오이의 잎과 뿌리에서 lignification related enzyme(POD, PPO, PAL)활성은 R. solani 감염 초기에는 증가하다가 점점 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 이러한 결과들은 TaT-5에 의하여 생산된 lytic enzymes와 항 곰팡이성 물질들이 오이에 R. solani의 공격을 줄여준다고 생각된다.

Melittin (ME), a linear 26-residue non-cell-selective antimicrobial peptide, displays strong lytic activity against bacterial and human red blood cells. To design ME analogue with improved cell selectivity, we synthesized a melittin diastereomer (ME-D) with D-amino acid in the leucine zipper sequence (Leu-6, Lue-13 and Ile-20). Compared to ME, ME-D exhibited the same or 2-fold higher antibacterial activity but 8-fold less hemolytic activity. Circular dichroism analysis revealed that ME-D has much less $\alpha$-helical content in $\alpha$-helical content in the presence of zwitterionic EYPC/cholesterol (10 : 1, w/w) liposomes compared to negatively charged EYPE/EYPG (7 : 3, w/w) liposomes. The blue shift of the fluorescence emission maximum of ME-D in zwitterionic EYPC/cholesterol (10 : 1, w/w) liposomes was much smaller than in negatively charged EYPE/EYPG (7 : 3, w/w) liposomes. These results suggested that the improvement in therapeutic index/cell selectivity of ME-D is correlated with its less permeability to zwitterionic membranes.
