Whole-cell attachment by covalent linkage, thereby simulating natural and specific attachments, improves the osmotolerance of Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells. The enhanced osmoresistance is correlated with a decrease in the intercellular concentration of trehalose and accompanied by membrane compositional changed. The results obtained indicate that yeast cell-support (physical) contact is sensed and responded to.

Penicillium fellutanum produces a phosphorylated, choline-containing extracellular peptido-polysaccharide, peptidophosphogalactomannan (pPxGM) (8). The $\^$13/C-methyl labeled pPxGM ([methyl-$\^$13/C]pPxGM) was prepared from the cultures supplemented with L-[methyl-$\^$13/C]methionine or [2-$\^$13/C]glycine and was used as a probe to monitor the fate of phosphocholine in this polymer. Addition of purified [methyl-$\^$l3/C]pPxGM to growing cultures in low phosphate medium resulted in the disappearance of [methyl-$\^$13/C]phosphocholine and -N,N'-dimethyl-phosphoethanolamine from the added [methyl-$\^$13/C]pPxGM. Two $\^$l3/C-methyl-enriched cytoplasmic solutes, choline-O-sulfate and glycine betaine, were found in mycelial extracts, suggesting that phosphocholine-containing extracellular pPxGM of P.fellutanum is a precursor of intracellular choline-O-sulfate and glycine betaine and thus of phosphatydilcholine (l0). $\^$13/C-Methyl-labeled cells grown in 3 M NaCl-containing medium showed 2.6- and 22-fold more accumulation of $\^$13/C-methyl labeled choline-O-sulfate and glycine betaine, respectively, originated from the extracellular [$\^$13/C-methyl]pPxGM than those grown without added NaCl. The results suggest that, in addition to glycerol and erythritol, glycine betaine and choline-O-sulfate and thus choline are also osmoprotectants and hence that pPxGM is involved in osmotolerance of this fungus (11). Taken collectively, the $\^$l3/C- and $\^$31/P-NMR analyses of cytosolic solute pools and structural modulation of extracellular pPxGM corresponding to environmental stimuli in P. fellutanum, provided evidence that pPxGM is involved in cellular choline metabolism, osmotolerance, and recycling of metabolites.

Proline accumulation has been shown to correlate with tolerance to drought and salt stresses in plants. We attempt to introduce the wild-type, mutant, and fusion proBA genes derived from Bacillus subtilis into Arabidopsis thaliana under the control of a strong promoter cauliflower mosaic virus 35S (CaMV35S). The transgenic plants produced higher level of free proline than control and the overproduction of proline resulted in the increased tolerance to osmotic stress in transgenic plants. Besides, the mutation in proBA genes, which were proved to lead $\alpha$-glutamyl kinase ($\alpha$-GK) reduces sensitivity to the end-product inhibition and the fusion of proB and proA also result in increasing proline production and confer osmotolerance in transgenic lines.

MudJ(Km.lac) operon fusions were used in the identification of osmotic-inducible genetic(osi) loci in Salmonella typhimurium. Expression of osi::lacZ(osi5001, 5027) genes were dramatically induced 39-189 fold when the osmolarity was increased. Seven osm::lacZ genes were constituvely expressed under both low and high osmotic strength. The osi5001::lacZ fusion strains showed the enhanced osmotolerance and the reduced expression of the osi5001::lacZ in the presence of 1mM proline or betaine as osmoprotectants. Four osmotic inducible genetic loci were mapped into 36 (YK531), 44 (YK504), 57 (YK501) and 84 (YK528) map unit by testing the cotransduction frequency.

Lactobacillus sp. KY -107을 이용하여 fructose 로 부터 mannitol을 비교적 고수율로 생산하였다. 검토된 여러가지 탄소원 중에서 sucrose와 fructose 만이 mannitol 생성의 기질로 이용되었고 100g/L fructose를 기질로 사용할 경우 mannitol 생산성이 가장 좋았으며 이때 수율은 약 70% 이었다. 초기 탄소원이 고갈될 경우, 생성된 mannitol이 다시 기 질로 이용되었고, 180-250g/L 이상의 고농도 기질 농도에서는 수율이 50% 이하 수준으로 낮았으나, 모든 실험조건에서 다른 당알콜류를 부산물로 생성하지 않았다. Mannitol 생성에 미치는 여러가지 배양인자들을 검토한 결과, 질소원으로 yeast extract 가 가장 우수하였고, 무기 인산엽은 10 g/L농도 범 위까지 농도가 높을수록 유리하였으며 금속이옹중 M Mn이 mannitol생성에서 가장 중요한 역할을 담당 하는 것으로 나타났다. 배양환경중 온도는 $35^{\circ}C$전후 에서, 초기 pH는 6-8 범위에서 mannitol 생성량이 최대였다.

Proline is known as an osmotrotectant to enhance tolerance against both salt and dehydration stresses. A P5CS ($\Delta^1$-pyrroline-5-carboxylate synthetase) plays a major role in regulation of synthesis of proline. An overexpression of the mothbean P5CS gene in transgenic tobacco plant increased the levels of proline and osmotolerance. In an attempt to look for the possibility to use content of proline as well as a level of P5CS gene expression as molecular markers for salt tolerance, the amounts of proline and transcript levels of P5CS were measured as functions of either concentration of NaCl or length of treatment period among different species of zoysiagrass. Hybridzoysia showed the highest level of proline ($329\mu\textrm{g}$/g.f.w.) among five different species of zoysiagrass at 250 mM NaCl in 24 hours. The level of P5CS transcript was also the highest in the hybridzoysia at 250 mM NaCl in 24 hours. The transcriptions of P5CS gene were induced at the rates of 1.2, 1.2, 1.8, and 1.8, upon treatment of 250 mM NaCl in Z. japonica, Z. matrella, Z. sinica and hybridzoysia respectively. Based on a correlation between the level of P5CS transcript and the proline content among different species of zoysiagrass, a comparative structural analysis of the gene for P5CS from either Z. sinica or hybridzoysia may lead to an understanding of mechanism for salt tolerance shown differently among zoysiagrasses.

Cryphonectria parasitica, chestnut blight fungus, has a characteristic of decreasing pathogenicity when infected with Cryphonectria hypovirus 1. C. parasitica is known to be one of the most representative model systems used to observe the interaction between viruses, plants and fungi. The mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway, which is well conserved in various organisms ranging from yeast to humans, functions in relaying phosphorylation-dependent signals within MAPK cascades to diverse cellular functions involved in the regulation of pheromone, cell wall integrity, and osmotolerance in filamentous fungi. Several genes in the MAPK pathway were revealed to be regulated by hypovirus, or to be involved in pathogenicity in C. parasitica. Among these pathways, the CWI pathway has aroused interest because CpBck1, an ortholog of yeast Bck1 (a CWI MAPKKK), was previously reported to be involved in cell wall integrity and sectorization. Interestingly, sporadic sectorization was observed in the CpBck1 mutant and sectored phenotypes were stably inherited in the progeny that were successively transferred from sectored mycelia. In this study, we analyzed the biological function of CpSlt2, downstream gene of CpBck1, to confirm whether the sectorization phenomenon occurred in the specific single gene or cell wall integrity (CWI) pathway. As results, the CpSlt2-null mutant exhibited marked changes in colonial growth, near absence of conidiation and aerial hyphae, abnormal pigmentation, CWI-related phenotypic defects, and dramatically impaired virulence. As cultivation of the mutant strains progressed, the majority of the colonies showed sporadic sectorization and mycelia from the sectored area stably maintained the sectored phenotype. These results suggest that the unique sectorization is CWI pathway-specific, though the components in the same CWI pathway have common and specific functions.

김치발효 중에 분리한 젖산균의 일종인 Leueonos toe sp. KY -002를 이용하여 mannitol 생산 특성을 검토하였다. 여러 가지 탄소원 중에서 설탕과 과당만 이 mannitol 생성의 기질로 이용되었고, 50 g/L 과 당을 기질로 사용할 경우 mannitol 생산성이 가장 좋 았으며 이때 최대수율은 초기과당 기준으로 약 52% 이었다. 초기 탄소원이 고갈펼 경우, 생성된 manmtol이 다시 기질로 이용되지 않았고, 100 ~ 250 g/L 이상의 고놓도 기질농도에서는 수율이 30% 이하 수 준으로 낮았으나, 모든 실험조건에서 다른 탕알콜류 를 부산물로 생성하지 않았다. Mannitol 생성에 미 치는 여러 가지 배양인자들을 검토한 결과, 질소원 으로 yeast extract가 가장 우수하였고, 무기인산염 은 10 g/L 농도 벙위까지 농도가 높을수록 유리하 였으며, 금속이온과 NaCI, KCl 등의 엽류의 천가는 m mannitol 발효에서 역효과를 나타내였다. 몇 가지 vitamin류의 첨가에 의해 mannitol 생산을 촉진시 킬 수 있었는데, 특히 nicotinic acid의 첨가에 의해 발효놓도를 16% 증가시킬 수 있었다. 배양환경중 온도는 $35^{\circ}C$, 초기 pH는 6이 최적이었다.

L. monocytogenes가 biofilm을 생성하는데 ${\sigma}^{B}$가 어떤 영향을 미치는가를 구명하기 위해 L monocytogenes wild type인 10403S와 ${\sigma}^{B}$를 제거한 sigB null mutant의 biofilm 생성능을 고삼투압 및 저온 조건에서 비교하였다. 고삼투압 조건인 6%의 NaCl이 첨가된 BHI 배지에서 배양된 L. monocytogenes 10403S는 배양 72시간 후 $6.83{\pm}0.38\;log\;cfu/cm^{2}$의 biofilm을 생성하였으며, sigB null mutant의 경우는 $5.33{\pm}0.45log\;cfu/cm^{2}$ 의 biofilm을 생성하였는데, L. monocytogenes 10403S가 sigB null mutant보다 31.8배나 많은 biofilm을 생성하였다. 또한 L. monocytogenes 10403S를 6%의 NaCl이 첨가된 BHI 배지에서 배양했을 시 NaCl을 첨가하지 않은 배지에서 배양한 경우보다 4.7배나 많은 biofilm을 생성하였는데, L. monocytogenes 10403S와 같이 ${\sigma}^{B}$가 존재하는 경우 고삼투압 조건에서 biofilm을 더욱 많이 생성하였으며, ${\sigma}^{B}$가 biofilm의 생성에 영향을 미친다고 할 수 있었다. 또한 저온 조건($4^{\circ}C$ 배양)에서 ${\sigma}^{B}$가 biofilm 생성에 영향을 미치는지를 조사하였는데, ${\sigma}^{B}$는 저온 스트레스 시 biofilm 생성에 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다.
