To find the role of polyphenol oxidase in lignin biodegradation, chracteristics of extracellular polyphenol oxidase activity from Lentinus edodes JA01 was investigated. Polyphenol oxidase had its optimum activity at pH 4.5 and $45^{\circ}C$ respectively. Also, the enzyme was very unstable in various pHs and comparatively heat stable up to $60^{\circ}C$. In $lignosulfonate-NH_4$ salts medium, the growth rate of L.edodes JA 01 was relatively slow and polyphenol oxidase activity appeared 2 and 14 days after inoculation. No significant relationships were found between polyphenol oxidase activity and the amounts of lignosulfonate present in the culture medium.

The intracellular free radicals produced at different stages of cell cycle of Saccharomyces cerevisiae ATCC 24858 were investigated by means of electron spin resonance(ESR) spectroscopy. The synchronized cells by repeated starvation and refeeding revealed different ESR spectral pattern compared to that of asynchronized cells. Each spectrum centered at g=2.005, which indicates free radicals. The relative spin concentration was maximat at the end of DNA increase. The variation of the relative spin concentration at each distinct stage of the cell cycle was evaluated in relation to ascorbate concentration, L-galactonolactone oxidase activity, and ascorbate oxidase activity. The highest activities of L-galactonolactone oxidase and ascorbate oxidase were detected just before and at the maximum of relative spin concentration, respectively. And ascorbate concentration fluctuated through each stage of cell cycle with the changes of relative spin concentration, L-galactonolactone oxidase activity, and ascorbate oxidase activity. Thus it is suggested that intracellular free radicals should be related to cell cycle, interacted with ascorbate, and may play an important role in the cell cycle of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

By cylinder-plate method was the antibiosis of 15 strains of Aspergilli examined, which were isolated from Korean "Meju" collected through all over South-Korea. The results are as follows; 1) Only two strains of Aspergilli (strain 1 and 9) sellected in screening test have antibiosis for the several gram positive and negative bacteria. 2) The activity of antibiotic produced by strain I was excellent, having been cultured at 25.deg.C in the Malt-infusion Czapek's medium of pH 3.5 to 7.5 for 6 days. 3) The activity of antibiotic produced by strain 9 was excellent, having been cultured at 25.deg.C in the Czapek's medium of pH 4.5 to 6.5 for 6 days. 4) When Aspergilli were cultured under optimum conditions which resulted, by experiments, the activity of antibiotic produced by Aspergilli was stronger than activity of 10.gamma./ml. streptomycin.eptomycin.

Dextrinogenic and glucoamylase activities of Aspergillus isolated from various habitat-substrates collected through South Korea are measured, and their amylase activities are surveyed in taxonomical and ecological viewpoints. 1. A. flavous group and A.wentii group exhibited higher activities for both amylases than others. 2. In the relations between amylase activity of Asperguillus and their habitat-sub-strates, the strains isolated from meju and cereals exhibited predominant dextrinogenic amylase activity. 3. Dextrinogenic amylase activity of Aspergillus is higher in the strains isolated from southern coast than the other regions. 4. Among the 601 strains of Aspergillus surveryed, strain No.74 and strain No.421 exhibited the most predominant activity for dextrinogenic amylase and glucoamylase, respectively.

양배추 피클로부터 분리된 유산균으로 발효하여 제조한 플레인 요구르트와 소이 요구르트를 저장하는 동안 미생물학적 및 물리화학적 변화와 항산화 특성을 조사하였다. 분리 균주는 당분해능과 유전자 염기서열 분석을 통해 L. casei PC05와 L. acidophilus PC16으로 동정되었다. Lactobacillus acidophilus PC16 균주로 발효시킨 요구르트의 적정산도, 점도 및 균수는 L. casei PC05 균주에 의해 제조된 요구르트에 비해 높게 나타났으며, 특히 플레인 요구르트보다 소이 요구르트에서 세균수와 물리화학적 요인의 측정값이 유의하게 높은 것으로 확인되었다. 한편, L. acidophilus PC16 균주로 발효시킨 요구르트는 DPPH 라디칼 소거능과 철이온 킬레이팅 활성이 높았으나, L. casei PC05 균주의 요구르트는 superoxide anion 제거능과 SOD 활성이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 대부분의 항산화능은 플레인 요구르트보다 소이 요구르트에서 더 높게 나타났으며, 요구르트의 지질과산화 억제능은 항산화 활성에 기인하는 것으로 추정된다. 또한 발효직후 요구르트의 미생물학적, 물리화학적 및 항산화 활성은 $4^{\circ}C$에서 8일간 저장하는 동안 거의 일정한 수준으로 유지되었다.

The fusion between viral envelope and target cell membrane is a central step of viral infection, and the fusion proteins located at viral envelope mediate such process. Gp41 of HIV is one of the fusion proteins whose structure and mechanism of membrane fusion had been extensively studied. Functionally important motives of gp41 are the N-terminus fusion peptide, the coiled-coil and the membrane proximal C-peptide regions. The role of these regions during the fusion process had been thoroughly examined. Specially, insertion of the fusion peptide into membrane and conformational change of the coiled-coil and C-peptide regions are assumed to be critical for the fusion mechanism. In addition, the coiled-coil region has been shown to interact with membrane, and the C-peptide region regulates the interaction in a dose dependent manner. Furthermore, fusion defective mutations of the coiled-coil region dramatically changed its binding affinity to membrane. These results suggested that the membrane binding property of the coiled-coil region is important for the fusion activity of gp41, and such property could be modulated by the interaction with the C-peptide region.

The effects of various nitrogen soruces on the expression of nif gene were investigated using nif-lac fusants of Klebsiella pneumoniae. K. pneumoniae UK 2979 was infected with Mudl lysate prepared by heat induction of K. pneumoniae UK 4482. About 80 nif-lac fusants were greatly repressed. Amino acids, such as serine, glutamine and asparagine, were found to support the growth of K. pneumoniae M5al quite well, and showed a repressive effect on .betha.-galactosidase activities of nif-lac fusants LX-9 and LX-22 in NFHM. Glutamic acid, histidine and arginine rendered poor growth but high activities of .betha.-galactosidase. Good cell growth and high enzyme activity were observed when complex nitrogen sources, such as casitone, proteose pepone, were employed. .betha.-Galactosidase activities of LX-9 and LX-22 in nitrogen free minimal medium increased sharply within first 4 hours.

중금속(구리와 카드뮴)이 해양의 표층수와 1m 깊이에서 채취된 미생물군집에 미치는 영향에 관하여 연구되었다. colony 형 성균수와 $^{14}C-glucose$ uptake rate가 배양시간에 따라 각각 측정되었다. 해양에서 채취된 두개의 미생물군집은 서로 상이한 생리적 반응을 나타내었다. 이 결과로서 해양생대체에 토착적인 bacterioneuston population의 존재 가능함을 추정할 수 있다.

The protease purified from Bacillus cereus JH108 has the function of leucine specific endopeptidase. When measured by hydrolysis of synthetic substrate (N-succinyl-Ala-Ala-Pro-Leu-p-nitroanilide), the enzyme activity exhibited optimal activity at pH 9.0, $60^{\circ}C$. The endopeptidase activity was stimulated by $Ca^{++},\;Co^{++},\;Mn^{++},\;Mg^{++},\;and\;Ni^{++}$, and was inhibited by metal chelating agents such as EDTA, 1,10-phenanthroline, and EGTA. Addition of serine protease inhibitor, PMSF, resulted in the elimination of the activity. The endopeptidase activity was fully recovered from the inhibition of EDTA by the addition of 1 mM $Ca^{++}$, and was partially restored by $Co^{++}\;and\;Mn^{++}$, indicating that the enzyme was stabilized and activated by divalent cations and has a serine residue at the active site. Addition of $Ca^{++}$ increased the pH and heat stability of endopeptidase activity. These results show that endopeptidase requires calcium ions for activity and/or stability. A Lineweaver-Burk plot analysis indicated that the $K_m$ value of endopeptidase is 0.315 mM and $V_{max}$ is 0.222 ) is $0.222\;{\mu}mol$ of N-succinyl-Ala-Ala-Pro-Leu-p-nitroanilide per min. Bestatin was shown to act as a competitive inhibitor to the endopeptidase activity.
