This study examined the sweet taste perception, perception of sugar reduction, and utilization of nutrition labeling according to the awareness of the self-perceived sugar intake reduction of university students in Chungbuk Area. The subjects (n=419) were divided into two groups: Awareness of Sugar Intake Reduction (ASIR) group, male=110, female=109; Non Awareness of Sugar Intake Reduction (NASIR) group, male=115, female=85. The overweight/obesity was significantly higher in the ASIR group than in the NASIR group for both male and female students. The sweet taste perception was significantly lower in the ASIR group in male students than in the NASIR group. The purchase level of a product with reduced sugar instead of the original products was significantly higher in the ASIR group in male students than the NASIR group. Beverage purchases after identifying the sugar content were significantly higher in the ASIR group in male students than in the NASIR group. The necessity of nutrition labeling education was significantly higher in the ASIR group both male and female students. Based on these results, the correct perception of sugar reduction and continuous and practical nutrition education of sugar intake reduction need to maintain healthy dietary habits in university students.

For the production of pullulan from the high concentration of sugar, the utilization of sugars by a pullulan-producing fungus, Aureobasidium pullulans was examined. A. pullulans showed the different utilization patterns for sugars such as sucrose, maltose, and maltotriose. Especially for maltotriose, the hydrolysis of sugar was accompanied by a transferase activity. Glucose and maltose showed the inhibitory effect on the cell growth and the pullulan production at the sugar concentration higher than 0.28M, but sucrose showed the inhibitory effect at the sugar concentration higher than 0.14M. Among the sugars examined, sucrose gave the best result for the pullulan production. 27.5g/l of pullulan was obtained from 5% sucrose.

Identification of novel, electricity-producing bacteria has garnered remarkable interest because of the various applications of electricigens in microbial fuel cell and bioelectrochemical systems. Shewanella marisflavi BBL25, an electricity-generating microorganism, uses various carbon sources and shows broader sugar utilization than the better-known S. oneidensis MR-1. To determine the sugar-utilizing genes and electricity production and transfer system in S. marisflavi BBL25, we performed an in-depth analysis using whole-genome sequencing. We identified various genes associated with carbon source utilization and the electron transfer system, similar to those of S. oneidensis MR-1. In addition, we identified genes related to hydrogen production systems in S. marisflavi BBL25, which were different from those in S. oneidensis MR-1. When we cultured S. marisflavi BBL25 under anaerobic conditions, the strain produced 427.58 ± 5.85 µl of biohydrogen from pyruvate and 877.43 ± 28.53 µl from xylose. As S. oneidensis MR-1 could not utilize glucose well, we introduced the glk gene from S. marisflavi BBL25 into S. oneidensis MR-1, resulting in a 117.35% increase in growth and a 17.64% increase in glucose consumption. The results of S. marisflavi BBL25 genome sequencing aided in the understanding of sugar utilization, electron transfer systems, and hydrogen production systems in other Shewanella species.

DagA, a ${\beta}$-agarase, was produced by cultivating a recombinant Streptomyces lividans in a glucose medium or a mixed-sugar medium simulating microalgae hydrolysate. The optimum composition of the glucose medium was identified as 25 g/l glucose, 10 g/l yeast extract, and $5g/l\;MgCl_2{\cdot}6H_2O$. With this, a DagA activity of 7.26 U/ml could be obtained. When a mixed-sugar medium containing 25 g/l of sugars was used, a DagA activity of 4.81 U/ml was obtained with very low substrate utilization efficiency owing to the catabolic repression of glucose against the other sugars. When glucose and galactose were removed from the medium, an unexpectedly high DagA activity of about 8.7 U/ml was obtained, even though a smaller amount of sugars was used. It is recommended for better substrate utilization and process economics that glucose and galactose be eliminated from the medium, by being consumed by some other useful applications, before the production of DagA.

1. 화본과 작물의 짚 중에는 조섬유소, 즉, cellulose 및 hemicellulose 등 다당류의 양이 42∼55% 함유되어 있으며 동일작물이라도 품종이나 재배조건이 다르면 성분의 차이가 있었다. 2. 황산 당화액을 발효에 사용하려면 1∼2%의 황산으로 40psig에서 10분간 당화시키는 것이 가장 적당하였으며 이 때 당화율은 원료에 대하여 30∼35%이었다. 3. 황산당화에서 40psig이상으로 가열하면 hexose의 양은 증가하나 peotose의 양은 감소하였다. 이는 pentose가 furfural 등 발효저해 물질로 분해되기 때문이다. 4. 볏짚을 상압에서 2∼5%의 황산으로 가열하여 3∼5시간에 원료에 대하여 약 35%의 환원당이 생성되었다. 5. 40psig이하에서 얻은 당화액에서 Candida utilis NCYC 707을 배양하여 소비당의 50∼55% 균체를 생산하였으며 이 때 당소비는 초기 당의 90% 이상이었다.

The objective of this study is to understand how regulatory mechanisms respond to sugar status for more efficient carbon utilization and source-sink regulation in plants. So, we need to identify and characterize many components of sugar-response pathways for a better understanding of sugar responses. For this end, genes responding change of sugar status were screened using Arabidpsis cDNA arrays, and confirmed thirty-six genes to be regulated by sucrose supply in detached leaves by RNA blot analysis. Eleven of them encoding proteins for amino acid metabolism and carbohydrate metabolism were repressed by sugars. The remaining genes induced by sugar supply were for protein synthesis including ribosomal proteins and elongation factors. Among them, I focused on three hydrolase genes encoding putative $\beta$-galactosidase, $\beta$-xylosidase, and $\beta$-glucosidase that were transcriptionally induced in sugar starvation. Homology search indicated that these enzymes were involved in hydrolysis of cell wall polysaccharides. In addition to my results, recent transcriptome analysis suggested multiple genes for cell wall degradation were induced by sugar starvation. Thus, I hypothesized that enzyme for cell wall degradation were synthesized and secreted to hydrolyze cell wall polysaccharides producing carbon source under sugar-starved conditions. In fact, the enzymatic activities of these three enzymes increased in culture medium of Arabidopsis suspension cells under sugar starvation. The $\beta$-galactosidase encoded by At5g56870 was identified as a secretory protein in culture medium of suspension cells by mass spectrometry analysis. This protein was specifically detected under sugar-starved condition with a specific antibody. Induction of these genes was repressed in suspension cells grown with galactose, xylose and glucose as well as with sucrose. In planta, expression of the genes and protein accumulation were detected when photosynthesis was inhibited. Glycosyl hydrolase activity against galactan also increased during sugar starvation. Further, contents of cell wall polysaccharides especially pectin and hemicellulose were markedly decreased associating with sugar starvation in detached leaves. The amount of monosaccharide in pectin and hemicellulose in detached leaves decreased in response to sugar starvation. These results supported my idea that cell wall has one of function to supply carbon source in addition to determination of cell shape and physical support of plant bodies.

자연계에 널리 존재하는 저렴한 기질들은 대부분 여러 종류의 탄소원들을 함유한다. 이러한 혼합기질을 이용하는 효율적인 발효공정을 개발하기 위해서는 이들 기질들이 서로 어떻게 이용되는가를 알아야 하며, 사용되는 미생물의 생육과 생성물 생산을 잘 표현할 수 있는 동력학적 모델이 필요하다. P. stipitis에 의해 혼합기질에서 에탄오릉ㄹ 생산할 때 glucose는 xylose와 cellobiose 이용에 대해 ca-tabilite repression을 일으켰으며, 초기 glucose농도가 높을수록 xylose이용에서 균체의 생육속도는 감소하였으며 xylose이용시간도 길어졌다. 또한 glucose/xylose발효시 xylose이용에서 감소된 생육속도는 glucose가 xylose이용에 permenant repression을 야기시킨다는 것을 알 수 있었다. Cyclic AMP가 중개하는 catabolite repression mechanism에 기초하여 혼합기질에서 생육하는 P. stipitis의 생육모델을 발전시켰다 이 보텔식들을 이용하여 컴퓨터 simulation한 결과는 혼합기질로부터 P. stipitis에 의한 생육 및 에탄올 생성 실험결과와 비교적 잘 일치하였다.
