Antibiotics which produced by mushrooms discovered for last 40 years were described. Any antibiotic has not been used as infectious disease remudy but will be used as physiological active substance in near future. The antibiotic of mushrooms have not been published much in papers and do not have various finds of structures, compared to those of Streptomyces. Triple bond having compounds, terpenoid compounds aromatic compounds and some other compound have been known. These compounds are not dissolved well in water and mainly fat-soluble, except for cordycepin. Also, they are generally neutral, and some of them are acidic and almost none of them are basic compounds. However, acetylene and terpenoid compounds are the characteristic compounds of mushroom, and are not found in other microorganisms and plants. Especially, there are various terpenoid compounds in mushrooms. These metabolites of mushrooms were not used as antibiotic, but are interested as physiological active substance, such as enzyme inhibitor and immunomodulator. To promote studying on the antibiotics of mushroom, new screening methods must be developed, because strain belonged to the different genus produces different antibiotics, even though mushrooms belonged to the same genus and species. It is also known that mushrooms collected in different areas produce different antibiotics. Now, it is difficult to separate each pure compound from mushroom. It is important to find mushrooms which is impossible to cultivate artificially, or grow in the back land where is difficult to collect. Thousands of mushrooms grow on earth now, so that which species will be screened if not known. The biochemical and mycological study for usability of the metabolites of mushrooms is thought, as one of the important research areas, must be performed.

Streptomyces avermitilis genome includes 33 genes encoding monooxygenation-catalyzing cytochrome P450 enzymes. We investigated the structure of CYP107P2 and its interactions with terpenoid compounds. The recombinant CYP107P2 protein was expressed in Escherichia coli and the purified enzyme exhibited a typical P450 spectrum upon CO-binding in its reduced state. Type-I substrate-binding spectral titrations were observed with various terpenoid compounds, including α-pinene, β-pinene, α-terpinyl acetate, and (+)-3-carene. The calculated binding affinities (Kd) ranged from 15.9 to 50.8 µM. The X-ray crystal structure of CYP107P2 was determined at 1.99 Å resolution, with a well-conserved overall P450 folding conformation. The terpenoid compound docking models illustrated that the structural interaction between monoterpenes and CYP107P2, with the distance between heme and terpenes ranging from 3.4 to 5.4 Å, indicates potential substrate binding for P450 enzyme. This study suggests that CYP107P2 is a Streptomyces P450 enzyme capable of catalyzing terpenes as substrates, signifying noteworthy advancements in comprehending a novel P450 enzyme's involvement in terpene reactions.

건축재료와 생활용품으로부터 방출되는 실내공기 오염물질들로 인한 피해가 증가하고 있는 현시점에서 친환경 제품에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 이러한 관심 속에 피톤치드에 대한 효능이 알려지면서 다양한 방법으로 사용되고 있다. 피톤치드를 다량 함유한 편백잎 증류추출수의 가습시 발생하는 휘발성유기화합물의 방출특성을 GC-MS를 이용하여 그 효과를 조사하였다. 편백잎추출수 가습시 115종의 화합물이 검출되었다. 검출된 화합물들은 aromatic compound, terpenoid, alkane, ketone, ester, aldehyde, alcohol, acid, miscellaneous compound류로 분류하였으며 aromatic compound류(13종, 38%)와 terpenoid류(23종, 33%) 화합물이 다른 화합물류에 비해 높은 비율로 검출되었다. Aromatic compound류 경우 편백잎추출수에 의한 추가 화합물은 검출되지 않아 그 영향이 없는 것으로 판단되며, terpenoid류 경우 편백잎추출수 가습시 10% 정도 증가하였고 7종의 화합물이 추가로 검출되었다. 편백잎추출수 가습시 방출된 terpenoid류 화합물들은 항균, 방충, 방부 효력뿐만 아니라 항고혈압성과 항암에 효과가 있는 것으로 알려져 있어 건강에 도움을 줄 것으로 판단된다.

솔잎혹파리의 저항성인자(抵抗性因子)를 소나무, 해송, 버지니아소나무 및 해송${\times}$버지니아소나무에 대하여 조사(調査)하였다. 성충(成蟲)이 산란(産卵)을 위해 수종(樹種)의 선호성(選好性)과 침엽(針葉)에서 추출(抽出)된 방향물질(芳香物質)인 terpenoid와 phenolic compound에 대한 유충(幼蟲)의 생물학적(生物學的) 검정(檢定)을 실시(實施)하였다. 솔잎혹파리의 성충(成蟲)은 산란(産卵)을 위해서 수종(樹種)에 관계없이 전수종(全樹種)에 비산(飛散)하여 산란(産卵)을 하였으나 충영 형성율(形成率)은 버지니아소나무에는 0%, 해송${\times}$버지니아소나무는 9%, 소나무와 해송은 각각(各各) 25.6%, 22.2%이었다. 그러므로 솔잎혹파리는 버지니아소나무에는 산란(産卵)을 하나 유충(幼蟲)이 자라지 못하고 폐사(斃死)함으로 침엽내(針葉內)에는 솔잎혹파리에 대한 저항성물질(抵抗性物質)이 있는 것으로 추측(推測)되며 소나무류(類)에서 휘발(揮發)되는 terpenoid는 솔잎혹파리의 성충(成蟲)을 유인(誘引) 혹은 기피성물질(忌避性物質)이 아니었으며 또한 신초(新梢)에서 휘발생(揮發生)되는 terpenoids 및 송지(松脂)는 솔잎혹파리 유충(幼蟲)의 폐사(斃死)에 영향을 주지 않는 것으로 나타나고 있다. 솔잎혹파리의(幼蟲)을 사육(飼育)한 결과(結果)는 버지니아소나무 침엽(針葉)에서 추출(抽出)한 phenolic compounds, salicylic acid와 chitinase의 용액(溶液)위에서는 유충(幼蟲)의 폐사율(斃死率)이 각각(各各) 89%, 92%, 86%이나 소나무에서 추출(抽出)한 phenolic compounds와 gallic acid에서는 56%, 57%이었다. 그러므로 버지니아소나무의 침엽내(針葉內)에는 솔잎혹파리에 대한 저항성물질(抵抗性物質)이 함유(含有)되어 있는 것으로 생각되며 salicylic acid와 chitinase는 솔잎혹파리에 대한 저항성물질(抵抗性物質)로 추측된다.

This study was carried out to separate and identify the acidic compounds in tobacco leaves. Izmir tobacco leaves was extracted with isopropyl ether and the extract was concentrated. The concentrate was extracted with 6% NaHCO3 aqueous solution. The aqueous extract was acidified with sulfuric acid, and extracted with diethyl ether. The acidic material was fractionated on silicic acid column using a benzene-methanol mixture with a stepwise increasing methanol concentration. The resulting fractions were esterified with diazomethane, and then identified by GC, GC/MS using SPB -5 fused silica capillary column. Most of acidic compounds in Izmir tobacco leaves were elected from fraction B which was benzene-methanol(98 : 2) mixture on silicic acid column chromatography. The identified acidic compounds of Izmir tobacco leaves were 18 saturated acids, 8 unsaturated acids, 5 dicarboxylic acids, 13 aromatic acids and 7 terpenoid acids. The major acidic compounds of lzmir tobacco leaves were 2- methylbutanoic, 3-methyl butanoic, 3- methylpentanoic, hexanoic, nonanedioic, phenylacetic, benzoic, 4- methoxybenzoic, 3, 5- dimethoxybenzoic, methoxycinnamic and 3, 4- dimethoxycinnamic acid.

The objective of the present investigation is to evaluate the antimicrobial potency of the terpenoid fractions isolated from Luffa cylindrica seeds against various pathogenic microbes. The seeds were powdered and extracted with methanol in soxhlet appratus based on phytochemical screening. Three terpenoid components were isolated by column chromatography and identified by thin layer chromatography and chemical analysis which were designated as ${LCSF_4}^*$, ${LCSF_6}^*$ & ${LCSF_8}^*$ respectively. Disc diffusion method was employed to determine the antimicrobial effectiveness of test compounds I, II and III $({LCSF_4}^*,\;{LCSF_6}^*\;&\;{LCSF_8}^*)$ against 6 microbial species viz., Staphylococcus (S.) aureus, Bacillus (B.) subtilis, Escherichia (E.) coli, Pseudomonas (P.) aeruginosa, Candida (C.) albicans and Aspergillus niger. The disc was saturated with $100{\mu}l$ of each compound, allowed to dry and introduced on the upper layer of seeded agar plate. The plates were incubated overnight at $37^{\circ}C$. Microbial growth was determined by measuring the zonal inhibition diameters. Compound I showed maximum potency against gram positive S. aureus (21 mm) in comparison with standard ciprofloxacin (38 mm), whereas the same compound was completely devoid of activity against both the fungi tested. Compound II was found to be highly sensitive against both the gram negative E. coli (20 mm) and P. aeruginosa (22 mm). Compound II was found to exhibit maximum potency against the fungi C. albicans (15 mm) and A. niger (20 mm). Compound III was found to be very effective against both the gram positive S. aureus (20 mm) and B. subtilis (15 mm) respectively.
