Phenylalanine 생산시 tyrosine이 부생되지 않도록 tyrA유전자 발현이 낮은 여러 가지 온도조절형 plasmid를 제작하였으며, phenylalanine 생산균주인 대장균 AT2471$[tyrA^-,\;thi^-]$은 tyrosine 영양요구 변이균주이므로 생산배지에 tyro-sine 첨가없이 phenylalanine을 생산할 수 있도록 하기 위하여 tyrosine 복귀변이균주를 분리하여 phenylalanine 생산을 검토하였다. 2.5 l jar fermenter를 사용하여 tyrosine 첨가없이 phenylalanine 생산을 검토하여 대장균 AT2471/pSY146A, 대장균 AT2471 tyrosine 복귀변이균주 5/pSY111-14를 $39^{\circ}C$에서 55시간 배양한 결과 각각 12 g/l, 15 g/l를 생산하였다.

다양한 환경으로부터 음식물류폐수에 응집특성을 보이는 미생물 6종을 분리하였다. 동정한 결과, 이들은 각각 Bacillus pumilus, Enterobacter sp., Pantotea agglomerans, Bacillus licheniformis, 그리고 두 종류의 Bacillus sp. 균주들로 밝혀졌다. 분리된 미생물중 Enterobacter sp.(YK102), Bacillus sp.(YK103), Pantotea agglomerans (YK104) 등, 3균주의 경우, 대조군으로 사용된 분양균주 Zoogloea ramigera와 비교하여 카올린에 대한 응집율이 모두 8배 이상 높은 것으로 나타났다. 음식물류폐수에 대한 응집실험에서는 Enterobacter sp.(YK102) 균주가 가장 높은 응집능을 보였으며, 대조군으로 사용된 Pseudomonas fluorescens보다 약 2.5배 높은 것으로 나타났다.

Fed-batch cultures of Hansenula polymorpha were studied to develop an efficient biosystem to produce recombinant human serum albumin (HSA). To comply with this purpose, we used a high-purity oxygen-supplying strategy to increase the viable cell density in a bioreactor and enhance the production of target protein. A mutant strain, H. polymorpha GOT7, was utilized in this study as a host strain in both 5-l and 30-l scale fermentors. To supply high-purity oxygen into a bioreactor, nearly 100% high-purity oxygen from a commercial bomb or higher than 93% oxygen available in situ from a pressure swing adsorption (PSA) oxygen generator was employed. Under the optimal fermentation of H. polymorpha with highpurity oxygen, the final cell densities and produced HSA concentrations were 24.6 g/l and 5.1 g/l in the 5-l fermentor, and 24.8 g/l and 4.5 g/l in the 30-l fermentor, respectively. These were about 2-10 times higher than those obtained in air-based fed-batch fermentations. The discrepancies between the 5-l and 30-l fermentors with air supply were presumably due to the higher contribution of surface aeration over submerged aeration in the 5-l fermentor. This study, therefore, proved the positive effect of high-purity oxygen in enhancing viable cell density as well as target recombinant protein production in microbial fermentations.

The formation of insoluble aggregation of the recombinant kringle fragment of human apolipoprotein(a), rhLK8, in endoplasmic reticulum was identified as the rate-limiting step in the rhLK8 secretion in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. To analyze the protein secretion pathway, some of yeast genes closely related to protein secretion was rationally selected and their oligomer DNA were arrayed on the chip. The expression profiling of these genes during the induction of rhLK8 in fermentor fed-batch cultures revealed that several foldases including pdi1 gene were up-regulated in the early induction phase, whereas protein transport-related genes were up-regulated in the late induction phase. The coexpression of pdi1 gene increased rhLK8-folding capacity. Hence, the secretion efficiency of rhLK8 in the strain overexpressing pdi1 gene increased by 2-fold comparing in its parental strain. The oligomer DNA chip arrayed with minimum number of the genes selected in this study could be generally applicable to the monitoring system for the heterologous protein secretion and expression in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. With the optimization of fed-batch culture conditions and the alteration of genetic background of host, we obtained extracellular rhLK8 at higher yields than with Pichia pastoris systems, which was a 25-fold increased secretion level of rhLK8 compared to the secretion level at the initiation of this study.

To develop eco-friendly microbial inoculants, siderophore-producing bacteria were isolated and identified, and their production characteristics and plant growth-promoting abilities were investigated. A strain S21 was isolated from rhizosphere of Korean perilla (Perilla frutescens) and identified as Enterobacter amnigenus by phenotypic properties and 16S rRNA gene sequencing. The highest siderophore production was obtained in a medium containing 0.5% fructose, 0.1% urea, 0.5% K₂HPO₄ and 0.1% succinic acid. By using this improved medium, siderophore production increased by 2.5 times compared to that of basal medium. The strain S21 showed insoluble phosphate solubilizing, ammonification and antifungal activities, and also produced hydrolytic enzymes (protease and lipase), indoleacetic acid and 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate deaminase. Our data suggest that E. amnigenus S21 is a potential candidate that can be used as eco-friendly biocontrol agent and biofertilizer.

광독립 영양세포를 이용하여 미생물유래 제초활성 물질을 탐색하던 중 강한 제초활성을 갖는 균주를 선발하고, 그 균주가 생산하는 활성 물질들을 분리 정제한 후 구조를 결정하였으며, 이들의 활성을 조사하였다. 선발된 ME-13 균주의 미생물학적 특성을 조사한 결과 Streptomyces로 동정되어 본 균주를 Streptomyces sp. ME-13으로 명명하였다. 균배양 상등액으로부터 활성탄소흡착, sillca gel, MCI gel등의 column chromatography 및 HPLC를 통하여 2 가지 활성 물질을 순수 분리하였다. 이들 화합물은 기기분석결과, anisomycin계의 AB3217-A와 B로 각각 동정되었다. AB3217-A와 B는 25ppm 농도에서 무와 피의 종자 발아를 완전히 억제하였고, 종자 발아후 50% 생육저해농도는 약 6 ppm 정도로 서로 비슷하였으며 anisomycin보다 6배 정도 강한 제초활성을 보였다. 이와 같은 제초활성은 본 연구에 의하여 처음으로 밝혀졌다.

Gelatinase A is a member of the matrix metalloproteinases that play an important role in cancer invasion and metastasis. In the course of screening gelatinase A inhibitors from microbial sources, a fungal strain PT-262 showed a strong inhibitory activity. The strain was identified as Chaunopycnis alba on the basis of its morphological characteristics. The inhibitor was isolated from acetone extract of mycelial cake by sequential chromatographies on MCI-gel, Sephadex LH-20, and a reverse-phase HPLC column. The purified inhibitor was identified as pyridoxatin by its physico-chemical properties and spectroscopic analysis. Pyridoxatin is not a peptide analog and has cyclic hydroxamic acid moiety. It inhibited activated gelatinase A with an $IC_{50}$ value of 15.2 ${\mu}M$ using fluorescent synthetic peptide. It also had a strong cytotoxicity against human cancer cell lines in vitro. Furthermore, this compound inhibited DNA synthesis with an $IC_{50}$ value of 2.92 ${\mu}M$ in PC-3 prostate cancer cells by [$^3H$]thymidine incorporation assay.

A soil metagenome contains the genomes of all microbes included in a soil sample, including those that cannot be cultured. In this study, soil metagenome libraries were searched for microbial genes exhibiting lipolytic activity and those involved in potential lipid metabolism that could yield valuable products in microorganisms. One of the subclones derived from the original fosmid clone, pELP120, was selected for further analysis. A subclone spanning a 3.3 kb DNA fragment was found to encode for lipase/esterase and contained an additional partial open reading frame encoding a wax ester synthase (WES) motif. Consequently, both pELP120 and the full length of the gene potentially encoding WES were sequenced. To determine if the wes gene encoded a functioning WES protein that produced wax esters, gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy was conducted using ethyl acetate extract from an Escherichia coli strain that expressed the wes gene and was grown with hexadecanol. The ethyl acetate extract from this E. coli strain did indeed produce wax ester compounds of various carbon-chain lengths. DNA sequence analysis of the full-length gene revealed that the gene cluster may be derived from a member of Proteobacteria, whereas the clone does not contain any clear phylogenetic markers. These results suggest that the wes gene discovered in this study encodes a functional protein in E. coli and produces wax esters through a heterologous expression system.
