  • The market conditions of sea mustard is changing by overproduction, decreasing price, Import of blanched and salted sea mustard from China into Korea domestic market and increasing market share of sea mustard of China in Japan. In addition, the price support program in sea mustard aquaculture must be modified due to the restriction of domestic support by international organization such as WTO. There are two ways to solve those problems. First is that finding a way to solve the overproduction of sea mustard. One of possible ways is the production adjustment by Marketing Order. Second is that finding an alternative way to replace price support program. The possible way is Direct Payment instead of purchase stockpile system. To introduce marketing Order, outlook center, organization of self-management, production adjustment through output control measure, improvement of market structure, and education/publicity arc necessary. Also, to implement marketing order, setting a model business by government is required. There are two steps for implementation of marketing order. First step is to construct Order Committee including organization of producer, people related marketing. However, this committee must run by government for certain short-term. Second step is to improve quality of product and acceleration of demand. At visual point that enforcement of the first step is completed, government has process that government transfers Order Committees self-correcting. It is desirable that government only conduct the support acts such as quality improvement and acceleration of demand. Also, at early stage it is necessary to have aid system for marketing order For example, we can expect that income increase by production adjustment in long run. However, in short run the income of producer may decrease so, it is required to compensate his economic lose. For compensation, The useful means that can be utilized is direct payment. Direct payment is not continued policy. Also, when production adjustment policy such as Marketing Order has effective results, Direct Payment as an assistant measure must be reduced or abolished. Therefore, when production adjustment acts as an effective tool to control overproduction, Direct Payment system.

  • By using a T7 expression system, a large amount of Bacillus stearothermophilus endo-xylanase A (XynA) could be produced in Escherichia coli cells. The overproduced enzyme formed inclusion bodies, and so the protein could be more easily purified to homogeneity. The molecular weight of the purified enzyme was estimated to be 22 kDa by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and 43 kDa by Sephacryl S-200 gel filtration, suggesting that the native enzyme was a homodimer. The pI value was determined to be 8.4. The Michaelis constants for birchwood xylan and oat spelts xylan were calculated to be 3.83 mg/ml and 5.03 mg/ml, respectively, and the $V_{max}$ max/ values for both xylans were 2.86 $\mu mole$/min. The purified enzyme was most active at $55^{\circ}C$ and pH 8.0, and stable up to $60^{\circ}C$ and in the near neutral pH range. From the zymogram, Bacillus stearothermophilus was found to have at least three xylanases and the purified one was the smallest among them.

  • A plasmid vector, pXGPRMATG-lac-Tgx, was developed for overproduction of $\beta$-galactosidase in Escherichia coli using the genetic components of groEx, a heat-shock gene cloned from symbiotic X-bacteria in Amoeba proteus. The vector is composed of intragenic promoters P3 and P4 of groEx, the structural gene of lac operon, transcription tenninator signals of lac and groEx, and ColEl and amp'of pBluescript SKII. The optimized host, E. coli DH5$\alpha$, transfonned with the vector constitutively produced 117,310-171,961 Miller units of $\beta$-galactosidase per mg protein in crude extract. The amount of enzyme in crude extract was 53% of total water-soluble proteins. About 43% of the enzyme could be purified to a specific activity of 322,249 Miller units/mg protein after two-fold purification, using two cycles of precipitation with ammonium sulfate and one step of gel filtration. Thus, the expression system developed in this study presents a low-cost and simple method for purifying overproduced $\beta$-galactosidase in E. coli.

  • Cultivation conditions for overproduction of lovastatins were investigated from the lovastatin producing strain N-03 which was obtained with NTG (N-methyl-N'-nitro-nitrosoguanidine) treatment from Aspergiliu ferrous ATCC 20542. Produced lactone and acid form of lovastatin were detected, and analyzed by HPLC method. In liquid culture, medium No. 2 containing soy protein produced higher amounts of the lovastatins than medium No. 1 (contained rapeseed oil). In solid culture, maximum production was obtained at 28$^{\circ}C$ for 15 days cultivation using cooked wheat bran. For the overproduction of lovastatin from this strain, solid culture method using plastic bag is more superior than liquid culture.

  • Nitric oxide (NO) produced in large amounts by the inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) is known to be responsible for the vasodilation and hypotension observed in septic shock and inflammation. The inhibitors of iNOS, thus, may be useful candidate for the treatment of inflammatory diseases accompanied by the overproduction of NO. We prepared alcoholic extracts of Chinese medicinal plants and screened their inhibitory activity against NO production in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated macrophages. Among the 80 kinds of extracts of herbal drugs, 15 extracts showed potent inhibitory activity of NO production above 80% at the concentration o$50\mu\textrm{g}/ml$. These potent extracts showed dose dependent inhibition of NO production of LPS-activated macrophages at the concentration of 50, 30,$10\mu\textrm{g}/ml$. Especially, Rhus chinensis, Senecio scandens and Wikstroemia indica showed most potent inhibition above 50% at the concentration of $10\mu\textrm{g}/ml$. These plants are promising candidates for the study of the activity-guided purification of active compounds and would be useful for the treatment of inflammatory diseases and endotoxemia accompanying the overproduction of NO.

  • Streptomyces coelicolor produces three kinds of catalases to cope with oxidative stress and to allow normal differentiation. Catalase A is the major vegetative catalase which functions in removing hydrogen peroxide generated during the process of aerobic metabolism. To understand the regulatory mechanism of response against oxidative stress, hydrogen peroxide-resistant mutant (HR4O) was isolated from S. coelicolor J1501 following UV mutagenesis. The mutant overproduced catalase A more than 50-fo1d compared with the wild type. The mutation locus catRI was mapped closed to the mthB2 locus by genetic crossings. An ordered cosmid library of S. coelicolor encompassing the mthB2 locus was used to isolate the regulator gene (catR) which represses catalase overproduction when introduced into HR4O. A candidate catR gene was found to encode a Fur-like protein of 138 amino acids (15319 Da).
