  • Three halacarid species belonging to the genus Copidognathus are recorded from the shallow subtidal sands at Ko Taenae Islet (sand dune) off Ko Pha-Ngan Island, Thailand: Copidognathus thailandicus n. sp., C. euryalus Bartsch, 1997 and C. orarius Otto, 2001. Copidognathus thailandicus n. sp. comes close with C. cribrosoma (Police, 1909) and C. cribellus Bartsch, 1993 due to dorsal plates completely covered with rosette pores. Dissimilarities among them are discussed. Copidognathus euryalus and C. orarius are recorded hove for the first time from Thailand and away from its type locality. The present paper is also the first contribution on the taxonomy of Halacaridae (Acari) from Thailand.

  • 인공폐수로 연속회분식 하수처리시스템에서 바이오플라스틱인 PHAs의 생산에 대하여 연구하였다. 실험은 하수처리장에서 식종슬러지를 채취하고, 실험실 내에서 제작된 인공하수를 이용하여 4 L 규모의 2조의 연속회분식반응기로 수행하였다. 인공하수의 영양조건(C/N/P)은 42:10:1로 운전되었으며, 연속회분식반응기는 호기상태에서 Feast/Famine 조건을 부여하는 ADF (aerobic dynamic feeding)의 SBR 1과 혐기/호기조건에서 Feast/Famine 조건을 부여하는 AODF (anaerobic/oxic dynamic feeding)의 SBR 2로 운전하였다. PHAs의 생산은 AODF가 ADF 보다 우수하였으며, ADOF 에서 바이오매스 대비 최대 40.0%(w/w)로 높게 생산되었으며, 구조적 및 열적 물성도 우수한 것으로 나타났다.

  • Over half of all biologically active peptide and peptide hormones are $\alpha$-amidated at their C-terminus, which is essential for their full biological activities. Amidation is accomplished through the sequential reaction of the two enzymes encoded by the single bifunctional, peptidyl-glycine $\alpha$-amidating monooxygenase (PAM or an $\alpha$-amidating enzyme). PAM catalyze the forma - tion of a peptide amide from peptide precursors that include a C-terminal glycine, and requires copper molecular oxygen and ascorbate. PAM is the only enzyme that produces peptide amides in vivo. However various strategies utilizing PAM, carboxypeptidase-Y enzymes, and chemical syn-thesis have been developed for producing peptide amides in vitro. The growing need and impor-tance of peptide amide drugs has highlighted the necessity for a efficient in vitro amidating sys-tem for industrial application for the production of peptide hormones, like calcitonin and oxytocin. This review presents the current situation regarding amidation with a special emphasis on the in-dustrial production or peptide hormones.

  • 본 연구에서는 톨루엔 분해 균주인 Pseudomonas putida와 아세트산 분해 균주인 Cupriavidus necator에 무세포 효소 시스템(cell-free enzyme system)을 적용하여 톨루엔과 아세트산에 대한 분해 가능성을 확인하는 실험을 수행하였다. P. putida는 톨루엔 존재 하에서만 toluene dioxygenase를 생성하여 톨루엔을 cis-toluene dihydrodiol로 분해하며, C. necator는 acetyl coenzyme A synthetase-1을 생성하여 아세트산을 acetyl CoA로 전환시켜 생존에 필요한 ATP나 생분해성(biodegradable) 고분자인 Polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA)를 합성한다. P. putida의 톨루엔 분해 효소인 toluene dioxygenase는 유도효소이기 때문에 toluene dioxygenase 생성 전과 후로 나누어 실험을 진행하였다. P. putida의 톨루엔 분해능력 확인을 위한 gas chromatography (GC) 분석 결과, 대조군과 toluene dioxygenase 생성 전인 실험군 1에서는 검출된 톨루엔의 양이 거의 유사하였으나, toluene dioxygenase 생성 후인 실험군 2에서는 검출된 톨루엔의 양이 대조군 및 실험군 1에 비해 감소하였다. 또한 C. necator의 아세트산 분해능력 확인을 위한 gas chromatography-mass spectrometer (GC-MS) 분석 결과, 무세포 효소 시스템을 적용한 실험군에서는 아세트산에 대한 피크가 검출되지 않았다. 따라서 P. putida와 C. necator는 무세포 효소 시스템 적용 후에도 톨루엔 및 아세트산 분해 능력이 유지되었으나, P. putida는 무세포 효소 시스템을 적용하기 전에 유도 효소를 생성하는 과정이 필요하다.

  • 해양 미세조류인 Phaeodactylum tricornutum은 게놈 염기서열이 완전히 밝혀진 규조류로서, 형질전환 방법이 개발되어 있고, 여러 가지 분자생물학적 연구 기술이 개발되어 규조류 연구에서 모델 종으로 여겨지고 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 methylerythritol phosphate (MEP) 대사경로의 마지막 효소인 (E)-4-hydroxy-3-methylbut-2-enyl diphosphate reductase (HDR)를 코딩하는 P. tricornutum의 Pthdr 유전자를 P. tricornutum에 도입하여 형질전환체를 확보하는 것이다. 유전자 도입 방법은 gold microcarrier를 사용한 bombardment 방법을 사용하였고, 형질전환 유무 및 목적 유전자의 전사체 확인에는 각각 genomic DNA-PCR 및 cDNA-PCR 방법을 사용하였다. 양성대조군으로 egfp 유전자를 P. tricornutum에 도입하여 최종적으로 eGFP 단백질이 발현되는 것을 형광 공초점 현미경을 통해 확인하였다. 이를 바탕으로, 확보된 Pthdr 형질전환체에서도 도입한 Pthdr 유전자로부터 발현된 PtHDR 효소도 잘 발현될 것으로 추측할 수 있었다. 이렇게 준비된 Pthdr 형질전환체는 추후 연구를 통해, P. tricornum의 유용물질인 카로티노이드의 생합성 과정 연구 및 고부가가치 카로티노이드 과발현 균주 개발 등에 유용한 정보를 제공할 것으로 기대된다.

  • In fish both humoral and cell mediated immune responses have been reported whereas antibodies recognizing specific cellular populations have not yet been developed except for ones recognizing surface Ig molecules on B lymphocytes. Our aim was to develop and characterize monoclonal antibodies (Mabs) specific for the immune-related cells. Mabs were produced by fusion of myeloma cells (SP2/0) with Balb/c mouse spleen cells previously sensitized against Israeli carp (I. carp) kidney mononuclear cells. We obtained 44 Mabs positively reacting with I. carp kidney mononuclear cells and partially characterized 7 Mabs in the morphological and mitogen-based proliferative aspects. Fluorescence-activated cell sorter (FACS) analysis against I. carp kidney cells by using 7 different Mabs showed 80.3% for ICK 17-4, 65.1% for ICK 2-3, 64.1% for ICK 25-1, 67.5% for lCK 22-1, 70.8% for ICK 16-2, 76.8% for ICK 13-2, 79.7% for ICK II-I. Panning method was used for the isolation of Mabs specific mononuclear carp spleen cells followed by Wright's stain. The stained cell populations were identified as monocytes (ICK 17-4, ICK 2-3, ICK 25-1, ICK 22-1 and ICK 16-2), lymphocytes (ICK 11-1), and a mixed cell population of monocytes and lymphocytes (ICK 13-2). In cell proliferation assay, monocytes purified by ICK 17-4, 2-3 and 22-1 efficiently responded to Con A and PHA, while ones separated by ICK 25-1 did not react with any mitogens. Lymphocytes isolated by ICK 11-1, though it is not known whether they are T or B cells, were more responsive to Con A than PHA or LPS, suggesting that fish immune cells are somewhat different from mammalian cells in responding to mammalian T or B cell mitogens.

  • An experiment was conducted to assess the interaction between genotypes and dietary lysine content in commercial broiler chicks by measuring growth, and response to sheep red blood cells (SRBC) and Escherichia coli (E.coli) inoculation. Female chicks from four genotypes (A=Anak 2000; B=Hubbard; C=Cobb and D=Synthetic broiler) were fed four levels of lysine in diet from d old till the end of experiment. The lysine content of the diet was 9.61, 10.51, 11.41 and 12.31 g/kg. Body weights at 0, 14, 28 and 42 d of age and pen-wise feed intake till 14, 28 and 42 d of age were recorded. Production of antibody against SRBC and resistance to E.coli were measured at 5 d of post inoculation (PI) at 43 d of age. Also, response to phytohemaglutinin-P (PHA-P) was measured at 12 and 24 h of PI at 48 d of age. Genotype by dietary lysine interaction was significant for body weights at 14 and 28 d of age, but not at 42 d of age. Genotype by dietary lysine interaction was not significant for feed efficiency, for antibody titers against SRBC, and for air sac lesion score, relative bodyweight change, and relative weights of bursa and spleen in response to E.coli inoculation. However, a significant interaction was observed between the levels of lysine and dosage of SRBC for antibody titers. There was significant genotype by dietary lysine interaction for cutaneous basophilic hypersensitivity (CBH) response to PHA-P at 12 and 24 h of PI. It may be concluded that to obtain optimum body weight and immunity in commercial broilers the dietary lysine requirement may be recommended specific to the genotype.

  • Poly(ethylene glycol)methyl ether(MPEG)와 dimethylphenoxy 팬던트 그룹을 갖는 polybenzoxazoles(PBOs)의 중합 전구체인 poly(o-hydroxyamides)(PHAs)를 저온 용액 중축합에 의해서 합성하였다. 합성된 중합 전구체들의 고유점도는 $0.51\~2.31$의 값을 나타내었다. 중합전구체는 FT-IR, $1H-NMR$, DSC, 그리고 TGA를 이용하여 특성을 조사하였다. MPEG단위를 갖는 PHAs는 MPEG의 분자량이 증가할수록 용매특성이 증가하는데, 특히 분자량이 1100인 MPEG를 갖는 PHA의 경우 aprotic 용매뿐만 아니라 에탄올, 메탄올, H,0에도 용해되었으나, 열적 고리화 반응에 의해 PBOs로 전환되면 어떠한 용매에도 용해되지 않았다. 그리고 MPEG만을 갖는 중합 전구체의 경우, MPEG의 분자량이 증가할수록 고리화 반응온도는 감소함을 확인할 수 있었다.

  • Many poultry eggs are discarded worldwide because of infection (i.e., avian flu) or presence of high levels of pesticides. The possibility of adopting egg yolk as a source material to produce polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) biopolymer was examined in this study. Cupriavidus necator Re2133/pCB81 was used for the production of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyhexanoate) or poly(3HHx), a polymer that would normally require long-chain fatty acids as carbon feedstocks for the incorporation of 3HHx monomers. The optimal medium contained 5% egg yolk oil and ammonium nitrate as a nitrogen source, with a carbon/nitrogen (C/N) ratio of 20. Time course monitoring using the optimized medium was conducted for 5 days. Biomass production was 13.1 g/l, with 43.7% co-polymer content. Comparison with other studies using plant oils and the current study using egg yolk oil revealed similar polymer yields. Thus, discarded egg yolks could be a potential source of PHA.
