A thermostable adenylate kinase isolated from the sonic extracts of Thermus caldophilus cells revealed higher substrate-specificity to the nucleoside monophosphate than to the nucleoside triphosphate. A $P', P^5$-di(adenosine-5') pentaphosphate was acted as a competitive inhibitor to the various substrates. Various divalent cations were activated the enzyme activity following orders: $Mg^{2+}, Ca^{2+}, Mn^{2+}, Ba^[2+}, $ and $Fe^{2+}$-. The enzyme activity was not affected by the sulfurhydryl reagent, p-chloromeric uribenzoic acid and activated by addition of the sodium chloride or phosphoenol pyruvate to the reaction mixture.

The attenuation characteristics($Q^{-1}$) are important factors representing the physical properties of the Earth interiors, and are essential for the quantitative prediction of strong ground-motion. Based on 156 earthquakes including 76 single-station record on the seismic station located Deok-jung Ri, southeastern Korea, we made the simultaneous measurement of P and S wave attenuation($Q_P^{-1}\;and\;Q_S^{-1}$) by means of extended coda-normalization method. Estimated $Q_P^{-1}\;and\;Q_S^{-1}$ decreased from $1{\times}10^{-2}\;and\;9{\times}10^{-3}$ at 1.5 Hz to $6{\times}10^{-4}\;and\;5{\times}10^{-4}$ at 24 Hz, respectively. This can be expressed by $Q_P^{-1}=0.01\;f^{-1.07}\;and\;Q_S^{-1}=0.01\;f^{-1.03}$ which indicate strong frequency dependence.

Given a system of s independent 1-forms on a smooth manifold M of dimension m, we study the existence of integral manifolds by means of various generalized versions of the Frobenius theorem. In particular, we present necessary and sufficient conditions for there to exist s'-parameter (s' < s) family of integral manifolds of dimension p := m-s, and a necessary and sufficient condition for there to exist integral manifolds of dimension p', p' $\leq$ p. We also present examples and applications to complex analysis in several variables.

1. Stylochus ijimai spawns from May to October with peak spawning from July to September, P. obscurus spawns from June to October with peak spawning from July to September. 2. S. ijimai spawns approximately 96,000-132,000 eggs by one spawning. 1. Just after spawnings, the eggs of S. ijimai were $102\mu$ in diameter, and those of P. obscurus were $108\mu$. 4. S. ijimai and P. obscurus have simple eggs. S. ijimai develop indirectly having Gotte larvae, while P. obscurus develop directly. 5. These two species show very similar patterns of early developments from maturation division of eggs to the gastrula stage. 6. The zygots of S. ijimai reaches mesentoblast stage 48 hours after fertilization, and Gotte larvae hatch out 7 days after fertilization. The zygots of P. obscurus reaches mesentoblast stage 72 hours after fertilization, and juveniles hatch out 14 days after fertilization. 7. S. ijimai, have 14 days of planktonic larvae stages bearing strong phototacic behavior : P. obscurus have 7 days of planktonic life without phototacic behavior. 8. Newly hatched larvae of S. ijimai and P. obscurus are $138\mu\;and\;170\mu$ in length respectively. The early creeping forms of S. ijimai and P. obscurus are $152\mu\;and\;185\mu$ in length respectively. 9. In the early creeping stage S. ijimai are characterized by testing processes and flattening of the body. In the same stage P. obscurus lost 2 eye-spots in the cerebral area. 10. The early creeping larvae of these two species were found only in mud-flat substrates.

The stable-unstable curve graph (S-U curve) and the ignition los curve graph (IL curve) for pollen composition and inorganic material content in three areas (namely, Kawadoi Basin, Moniwa-Takada moor, and Nenoshiroishi moor) were prepared to reconstruct the recurrence history of slope failure during the Holocene in Northeastern Japan. Through the S-U curve, a period with a high slope failure frequency of 5,600~4,670yrB.P. was identified in Kawadoi Basin, two of 6,390~5,070yrB.P. and 4,750~3,800yrB.P. in Moniwa-Takada moor, and three of 6,630~6,070yrB.P., 5,890~5,360yrB.P., and 5,000~4,650yrB.P. in Nenoshiroishi moor. Through the IL curve, a period with a high slope failure frequency of 5,600~5,140yrB.P. was identified in Kawadoi Basin, and two of 6,390~6,170yrB.P. and 4,750~2,840yrB.P. in Moniwa-Takada moor. Most of above-mentioned periods were included in the period of slope instability in precedent studies. However, the periods with high slope failure frequency in this study were rather different from those in precedent studies. The times and numbers associated with these periods in each study area also showed discrepancies. Accordingly, to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, more case studies must be performed to improve the reconstruction level of slope failure frequency, which could be explained through the analysis of pollen composition and inorganic material content.

The aim of this study was to investigate the efficiency of temperature, light intensity and pH on the growth rate of Chlorella vulgaris (C. vulgaris). The size of C. vulgaris (FC-16) was $3-8{\mu}m$, having round in shape. The cells of C. vulgaris (FC-16) was cultured in the Jaworski's Medium with deionized water. To evaluate the efficiency of temperature, light intensity and pH on the growth rate of C. vulgaris, six different fractions of temperature ($10^{\circ}C$, $15^{\circ}C$, $20^{\circ}C$, $25^{\circ}C$, $30^{\circ}C$, $35^{\circ}C$), various light intensities ($100-800{\mu}Em^{-2}s^{-1}$) and seven different fractions of pH (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 7.5, 9) were prepared. The growth rate of C. vulgaris cultivation was approximately 5.2 to 5.5 times faster, the concentration of Chlorophyll a was also 5 to 5.5 times higher, and cell volume per unit area was 14% higher at $25^{\circ}C$ to $30^{\circ}C$ than those at $10^{\circ}C$. Therefore, the optimal temperature for cultivation of C. vulgaris was estimated $25^{\circ}C$ to $30^{\circ}C$. The growth rate of C. vulgaris increased slowly up to 5 days, exploded after 5 days until 15 days, and then stoped after that. The optimum cultivation period of C. vulgaris was estimated as 15 days. The optimum pH for the growth rate of C. vulgaris was determined pH 7 to 7.5.

The membrane-bound ATPases were separated on sucrose gradient from corn roots and characterized by pH optima, sensitivity to monovalent salt, Km and Vmax. The pH optima for the activity of all the ATPases associated with 13, 000g pellet and 13, 000~80, 000g pellet were 5 and 9, respectively. The ATPases in Fractions B and C of the 13, 000 g pellet were more active at pH 5 than pH 9. While, in the case of Fractions D, E and F, they were reverse. The activities of the ATPase in Fractions A and C of the 13, 000~80, 000 g pellet were greater at pH 5 than pH 9. On the other hand, the ATPases in Fractions B, D, E, and F were more active at pH 9 than pH 5. The optimum concentraction of ATP for the assay was about 3 to 5 mM. The Km's for the membrane-bound ATPases in 13, 000g pellet and in 13, 000~80, 000 g pellet were 0.25 mM. While Vmax values for 13, 000g pellet were from 8.0 to 12.5 $\mu$M Pi/mg protein/hr. according to pH values, those for 13, 000~80, 000 g pellet were from 35.7 to 55.6 $\mu$M Pi/mg protein/hr. Activities of the membrane-bound ATPases in both 13, 000 g pellet and 13, 000~80, 000 g pellet were stimulated with increasing the concentration of $K^+$.

To estimate removal rate of phosphorus in aquatic grassland ecosystems of Paldangho, this investigation was conducted along with the coast of a lake. The experimental results may be summarized on communities of Typha angustata, Miscanthus sacchriflorus Phragmites communis and Scirpus tabernaemontani as follows. The annual production of phosphorus for the litters in T. angustata, M saccharsflorus, P. cam-munis and S. taiernaemontani grasslands were 10.252 g /$m^2$, 3.833 g /$m^2$, , 2.656 g /$m^2$, and 5.210 g /$m^2$, respectively. The ratio of annual production of P accumulated on surface soils in a steady state provides estimates of the removal rate r, The estimated removal rates r of P were 0.58, 0.78, 0.68 and 0.59 in T. angustata, M. sacchariflorus, P. communis and S. tabernaemontani grasslands re- spectively. The removal and accumulation of 50, 95 and of 99% of its steady state level, the estimates for P of T. angustata were 1.195, 5.173 and 8.623 years, in M. sacchariflorus were 0.880, 3.842, and 6.403 years, and in P. cammunis were 1.014, 4.390, and 7.316 years respectively, In S. tabernaemontani grassland required period were 1.178,5.099 and 8.500. Key words:T. angustata, S. tabernaemantani, P. communis, S. tabernaemontani, Paldangho, Removal rate, Phosphorus.

Water extract of green tea(GTW) and 70% ethanol extract of green tea(GTE) were prepared for the test of antibacterial activity. The sensitivity of Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella typhimurium to the green tea extracts in various pH of culture broth was tested. Tryptic soy broth(TSB) containing 0∼2%(w/v) of green tea extracts was adjusted to pH 5.0∼7.0 and inoculated with 10$\^$5/∼10$\^$6/ cells/ml of each bacteria. The plate counting method and clear zone test were used to determine inhibitory effect of green tea extracts. Green tea extracts completely inhibited the growth of S. aureus at 0.5% level and bactercidal at 0.5∼1.0% level of GTW and GTE at pH 5.0∼7.0. Green tea extracts were bactercidal to S. typhimurium at 1.5∼2.0% level of GTW and 1.0∼2.0% level of GTE at pH 7.0. Sal. typhimurium was more resistant than S. aureus. in same concentration of green tea extracts at same pH. The resistance of S. aureus and Sal. typhimurium was increased with decreasing pH of culture broth. The morphology of S. aureus cells treated with green tea extracts showed damage of cell wall and cytoplasmic membrane. Severely damaged cells of S. aureus lost electron dense material and cytoplasm. Green tea extracts stimulated autolysis and cell death of S. aureus. This result suggests that green tea extracts can be used as an effective natural antibacterial agent in food.
