A Gram-positive bacterium (strain JB-13) that was isolated from soil as a producer of cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase) [EC 2.4.1.19] was identified as Panibacillus sp. JB-13. This CGTase could catalyze the transglucosylation reaction from soluble starch to L-ascorbic acid (AA). A main product formed by this enzyme with ${\alpha}-glucosidase$ was identified as $2-O-{\alpha}-D-glucopyranosyl{\;}_{L}-ascorbic$ acid (AA-2G) by the HPLC profile and the elemental analysis. CGTase was purified to homogeneity using ammonium sulfate fractionation, ion-exchange chromatography on DEAE-Seohadex A-50, and gel chromatography on Sephacryl S-200HR. The molecular weight was determined to be 66,000 by both gel chromatography and SDS-PAGE. The isoelectric point of the purified enzyme was 5.3. The optimum pH and temperature was PH 7.0 and $45^{\circ}C$ respectively. The enzyme was stable in the range of pH 6-9 and at temperatures of $75{\circ}C$ or less in the presence of 15 mM ${CaCl_2}.\;{Hg^2+},\;{Mn^+2},{Ag^+},\;and\;{Cu^2+}$ all strongly inhibited the enzyme's activity.

Glucosyl rubusosides were synthesized by two dextransucrases. LcDexT was obtained from Leuconosotoc citreum, that LlDexT was obtained from Leuconostoc lactis. LcDexT and LlDexT regioselectively transferred a glucosyl residue to the 13-O-glucosyl moiety of rubusoside with high yield of 59-66% as analyzed by TLC and HPLC. Evaluation of the sweetness of these glucosyl rubusosides showed that their quality of taste, in particular, was superior to that of rubusoside. These results indicate that transglucosylation at the 13-O-glucosyl moiety of rubusoside by different regioselective dextransucrases can be applicable for increasing its sweetness and quality of taste.

$\alpha$-Glucosidase of an extreme thermophile, Thermus caldophilus GK24 (TcaAG), was purified 80-fold from cells to a homogeneous state and characterized. The enzyme exhibited optimum activity at pH 6.5 and $90^{\circ}C$, and was stable from pH 6.0 to 85 and up to $90^{\circ}C$. The enzyme had a half-life of 85 minutes at $90^{\circ}C$. An analysis of the substrate specificity showed that the enzyme hydrolyzed the non-reducing terminal unit of $\alpha$-1,6-glucosidic linkages of isomaltosaccharides and panose, $\alpha$-1,3-glycosidic bond of nigerose and turanose, and $\alpha$-1,2-glycosidic bond of sucrose. The gene encoding the TcaAG was cloned, sequenced, and sequenced in E. coli. The nucleotide sequence of the gene encoded a 530 amino acid polypeptide and had a G+C content of 68.4% with a strong bias for G or C in the third position of the codons (93.6%). A sequence analysis revealed that TcaAG belonged to the $\alpha$-amylase family. We suggest that this monomeric, thermostable, and broad-acting $\alpha$-glucosidase is a departure from previously exhibited specificities. It is, therefore, a novel $\alpha$-glucosidase.

The 2-O-$\alpha$-D-glucopyranosyl L-ascorbic acid (AA-2G) which was enzymatically glucosylated with the cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase) [EC 2.4.1.19] from Bacillus sp. JK-43 has been reported previously. The presnet experiments examined the optimal conditons for the productio of AA-2G from AA and soluble starch, and characterized the properties of the CGTase from Bacillus sp. JK-43. The reaction mixture for the maximal production of AA-2G was followings; 12% total substrate concentration, 1,400 usits/mL of CGTase and a mixing ratio of 2 : 3(g or AA : g of soluble starch). Under this condition, 1.76mM of AA-2G, which corresponded to 2.53% yield based on AA, was produced after incubation for 24hrs at 45$^{\circ}C$ (pH 5.5). The optimum pH and temperature for the CGTase activity were 6.0 and 45$^{\circ}C$, respectively. The enzyme was stable at pH 5.5 to 9.5, and at temperature up to 5$0^{\circ}C$. The thermostability of the enzyme could be enhanced up to 6$0^{\circ}C$ by the addition of 30mM CaCl2.

Formation of a L-Ascorbic Acid 2-O-$\alpha$-glucoside(AA-2G) is a chemically stable dervative of asocrbate that shows a vitamin C acitivity in vitro as well as in vivo. We studied whether ascorbic acid(AA) and AA-2G are formed in baechu kimchi during fermentation at 4 $^{\circ}C$ or 18$^{\circ}C$. To determine the formation of AA and AA-2G during fermentation of kimchi, wheat flour (as a carbhydrate source) added baechu kimchi (WBK) and control baechu kimchi(CBK) were prepared and fermented at 4 $^{\circ}C$ or 18 $^{\circ}C$. A substance like AA-2G was detected by HPLC from WBK fermented at 18 $^{\circ}C$ for 26 days in fall season and confirmed later to be the AA-2G showing distinctive characteristics of heat stability and resistance to ascrobate oxidase catalase. However, none of the kimchi formed AA-2G when the kimchi were fermented under a different temperature condition such as 4 $^{\circ}C$ instead of 18 $^{\circ}C$ or a different season such as summer instead of fall even if they were fermented at 18 $^{\circ}C$. The pH of kimchi was decreased rapidly during the first 3 days. and then decreased slowly after 4 days when the kimchi were fermented at 18 $^{\circ}C$. However, there were slight changes of pH in both CBK and WBK feremented at 4$^{\circ}C$ for 30 $^{\circ}C$ days. Therefore, the AA-2G -forming activity in kimchi seems to be correlated with the formentation temperature, the microorganisms involved in kimchi fermentation and a suitable glycosyl donor for AA as provided by wheat flour in this study.

Puerarin (P), an isoflavone derived from kudzu roots, has strong biological activities, but its bioavailability is often limited by its low water solubility. To increase its solubility, P was glucosylated by three dextransucrases from Leuconostoc or Streptococcus species. Leuconostoc lactis EG001 dextransucrase exhibited the highest productivity of puerarin glucosides (P-Gs) among the three tested enzymes, and it primarily produced two P-Gs with a 53% yield. Their structures were identified as ${\alpha}$-$_D$-glucosyl-($1{\rightarrow}6$)-P (P-G) by using LC-MS or $^1H$- or $^{13}C$-NMR spectroscopies and ${\alpha}$-$_D$-isomaltosyl-($1{\rightarrow}6$)-P (P-IG2) by using specific enzymatic hydrolysis, and their solubilities were 15- and 202-fold higher than that of P, respectively. P-G and P-IG2 are easily applicable in the food and pharmaceutical industries as alternative functional materials.

올리고당중에서 ${\alpha}$-1, 6-결합을 가진 isomaltose, isomaltotriose, panose 등을 주성분으로 하는 이소말토올리고당의 생산을 위해 A. niger 유래의 transglucosidase　（TG)의 효소학적 특성을 살펴보았다. TG는 maltose를 포도당으로 가수분해하여 panose와 포도당을 생성하였다. panose가 초기기질일 때 TG는 panose를 maltose와 포도당으로 가수분해하였다. ${\alpha}$-1, 6-결합을 가진 isomaltose나 isomaltotriose, isomaltotetraose를 기질로 하였을 때 반응산물의 생성은 ${\alpha}$-1,4-결합을 가진 maltose가 기질일 경우와는 다른 양상을 보였다. 반면 maltotriose를 기질로 한 경우에는 maltose와 유사한 양상을 보였다. TG는 maltotetraose(G4)에서 maltodecaose (G10)가 주성분인 말토올리고당을 기질로 한 경우에도 이소말토올리고당을 생성하였다. 기질인 maltose로부터 TG에 의해 panose가 생성되는 반응은 Michaelos-Menten 식으로 표현되었으며 최대속도, $V_{max}$와 Michaelis 상수, $K_m$은 각각 400 ${\mu}M/min$과 21.4${\mu}M$이었다.
