토양에서 분리한 여러가지 곰팡이류 가운데 beta-galactosidase 생성력이 가장 좋은 Aspergillus niger CAD 1을 효소 생산 균주로 선정 하였다. 이 균주의 효소 생산 최적 배양조건은 밀기울에 0.5% 탈지 분유를 첨가한 배지를 $30{\circ}C$에서 72시간 정치배양하는 것이었다. 아세톤으로 침전시킨 조효소(crude enzyme)는 일차로 DEAE-cellulose, 2차로 Sephadex G-100 gel filtration에 의하여 1,387배로 정제되었고 이때의 수율은 6.2%이였다. 정제된 효소의 최적 온도는 $45{\circ}C$ 최적 pH는 4.5이었으며, 기질로서 ONPG와 유당에 대한 Km값은 각각 $3.57{\times}10^3M$과 $83.3{\times}10^3M$, Vmax값은 각각 33.0 unit/mg protein과 15.38unit/mg protein이었다. 활성화 에너지는 9,900cal/mol이었으며 효소활성 및 안정제로 금속이온을 필요로 하지 않았다. 50ml의 탈지유, 4.8%유당 용액, 유청용액에 효소 5ml(182 unit/ml)를 침가하여 $45^{\circ}C$에서 10시간 반응시켰을 때의 유당 분해율은 각각 65%, 70%, 78%를 나타내었다.

본 연구는 ${\beta}$-galactosidase와 효모 발효에 의해 고순도 갈락토올리도당(HP-GOS)의 제조를 위한 효율적인 방법을 찾고자 수행하였다. 6종의 상업용 ${\beta}$-galactosidase를 이용해 효소반응 전후의 구성당을 각각 비교한 결과, Lactozym 3000L을 이용하여 제조한 GOS에서 효소반응을 통해 생성된 total GOS의 양이 가장 높은 것으로 나타났다. 생성된 GOS의 농도는 초기 lactose로부터 51%의 전환율을 나타냈다. 또한 GOS의 수율은 효모(Saccharomyces cerevisiae)의 발효에 의해 더욱 높아졌는데, 효모를 8% 첨가하여 36시간 발효 후 생성된 GOS의 농도는 71%까지 도달했음을 확인하였다. HPLC를 이용한 구성당 분석 결과, S. cerevisiae에 의한 발효를 통해 제조한 HP-GOS에는 발효 전에 존재했던 glucose의 함량이 급감되었을 뿐 아니라, 4'/6'-galactosyllactose와 total GOS의 양은 유의적으로 증가되었다. HP-GOS는 상업용 GOS보다 Lactobacillus 속(L. acidophilus and L. casei) 및 Bifidobacterium 속(B. longum and B. bifidum)의 성장을 촉진시키는 것으로 확인되었다. 이러한 결과를 종합해 볼 때, 효소 처리 및 효모 발효를 통해 고순도의 GOS가 제조되었으며, 제조된 HP-GOS는 상업용 GOS에 비해 장내 유용균으로 알려진 Bifidobacterium 속과 Lactobacillus 속의 생육을 증가시킴으로써 인간의 장내 건강에도 유익한 영향을 미칠 것으로 사료된다.

c-myc proto-oncogene은 여러 세포들의 분화와 형질전화에 뿐만 아니라 정상세포의 분열조절에도 관여한다고 알려져왔다. 특히 생쥐의 초기배아에서 c-myc mRNA가 발현되고 antisense c-myc oligomer의 미세주입에 의해 배발생이 억제된다는 연구결과는 c-myc이 초기배아의 발생 및 분열에 관여하는 것을 시사한다. 그러나 최근까지 초기배아에 존재하는 c-myc promoter의 기능적 활성화에 관한 연구는 미진하였다. 이를 위하여, c-myc promoter와 대장균의 lacZ 유전자를 결합시킨 두 종류의 vector(pcmyc-Gall, pcmyc-Ga12)를 만들어 수정란의 전핵에 미세주입한 후, 배 발생에 따른 c-myc promoter의 활성화를 lacZ 유전자의 산물인 $\beta$-galactosidase 에 의한 X-gal 염색으로 조사하였다. 미세주입된 초기 배아는 2세포기 배아를 포함하는 여러 발생단계에서 $\beta$-galactosidase 의 활성을 보였다. 이는 c-myc 유전자가 배아의 게놈유전자로부터 발현되며, 또한 궁극적으로 초기 배아의 발생과정에 중요한 역할을 하고 있음을 시사하고 있다.

Approximately 50% of people in the world experience abdominal flatulence after the intake of foods containing galactosides such as lactose or soybean oligosaccharides. The galactoside hydrolyzing enzymes of ${\alpha}$- and ${\beta}$-galactosidases have been shown to reduce the levels of galactosides in both the food matrix and the human gastrointestinal tract. This study aimed to optimize the production of ${\alpha}$- and ${\beta}$-galactosidases of Bifidobacterium longum subsp. longum RD47 with a basal medium containing whey and corn steep liquor. The activities of both enzymes were determined after culturing at $37^{\circ}C$ at pH 6.0 for 30 h. The optimal production of ${\alpha}$- and ${\beta}$-galactosidases was obtained with soybean oligosaccharides as a carbon source and proteose peptone no. 3 as a nitrogen source. The optimum pH for both ${\alpha}$- and ${\beta}$-galactosidases was 6.0. The optimum temperatures were $35^{\circ}C$ for ${\alpha}$-galactosidase and $37^{\circ}C$ for ${\beta}$-galactosidase. They showed temperature stability up to $37^{\circ}C$. At a 1 mM concentration of metal ions, $CuSO_4$ inhibited the activities of ${\alpha}$- and ${\beta}$-galactosidases by 35% and 50%, respectively. On the basis of the results obtained in this study, B. longum RD47 may be used for the production of ${\alpha}$- and ${\beta}$-galactosidases, which may reduce the levels of flatulence factors.

The promoter region of pyrC (dihydroorotase) gene of Escherichia coli was shown to have Fur protein binding properties by gel retardation assay. In vivo regulation of the pyrC expression was studied by measuring dihydroorotase activity and ${\beta}$-galactosidase level in the $fur^+$ and $fur^-$ genetic background. The expression of chromosomal dihydroorotase activity and ${\beta}$-galactosidase activity of pyrC-lacZ fusion plasmid was repressed to about 30% and 17%, respectively in the $fur^+$ strain compared to those in the $fur^-$ strain. Divalent ions such as $Fe^{2+}$ and $Zn^{2+}$ were not required for the repression. PyrC expression was also reduced to one half by 1 mM uracil. The effect of uracil was independent on the fur gene.

Lactobacillus acidophilus KFRI 233, a strain isolated from human, was selected as a candidate for probiotics due to its excellent growth in MRS broth where no special anaerobic condition is required. Both simultaneous and deferred agar diffusion assays exhibited Lb. acidophilus KFRI 233 to possess an antagonistic effect against Clostridium perfringens. Its antagonistic effect was pH dependent Associative culture of KFRI 233 and Cl. perfringens in broth resulted in maximum 94.04% inhibition of Cl. perfringens. $\beta$-Galactosidase activity of KFRI 233 was higher than other tested strains that are sold as commercial probiotics. Survival of KFRI 233 in pasteurized skim milk (4$^{\circ}C$) and Sherbet mix (-15$^{\circ}C$) after 7 days of storage were 71.9 and 105.5%, respectively.

The nar promoter of Escherichia coli was known to induce maximally under anaerobic or microaerobic conditions in the presence of nitrate. In this study, the nar promoter was tested to see whether the expression level of a reporter gene which fused lacZ gene at nar promoter's downstream, in the some gram negative host strains(Agrobacterium, Pseudomonas and Rhizobium). A nar promoter system(Combination of nar promoter and gram negative strain) was grown under aerobic conditions to absorbance at 600 nm of nearly 2.0 and then, the nar promoter was induced by lowering DO to 1-2% with alternating microaerobic and aerobic condition in the fermentor cultures, using different gram negative hosts. For a wild type nar promoter (pNW61), it was possible to maintain production of ${\beta}-galactosidase$ activity per cell(specific ${\beta}-galactosidase$ activity) at 14,000, 9600, 45 Miller units in the presence of 1% nitrate. and for a nitrate - independent nar promoter (pNW618) at 12,000, 10,400 and 58 Miller units in the absence of nitrate ion, respectively.

The methylotrophic yeast, Pichia pastoris, is known to be a potential host to offer many advantages for production of recombinant proteins. Fermentation parameters were optimized to enhance the heterologous ${\beta}$-galactosidase productivity with P. pastoris. Optimum concentration of methanol, used as inducer, was observed to be 8 g/L and the extent of repression of AOX1 promoter by glycerol was lower than by glucose. The degradation of the gene product ${\beta}$-galactosidase by protease was inhibited as the pH increased from 5 to 8 and the yeast extract(1%) as nitrogen source increased expression level 4 times higher compared to yeast nitrogen base(1%) as nitrogen source increased expression level 4 times higher compared to yeast nitrogen base(1%). Induction method, in which methanol is just added to fermentation medium without centrifugation, was found to be as much effective as the one with centrifugation.

The present study was conducted to assess gene expression of bacterial lacZ driven by the SV40 promoter at early developmental stages of bovine embryos. The lacZ gene was linearized with BamHI digestion and introduced into the pronucleus by microinjection at 20 hrs after the commencement of in vitro fertilization. Intact bovine blastocysts were not stained with X-Gal, suggesting that there is no endogenous beta-galactosidase activity in these blastocysts. In contrast, the bovine blastocyst cells microinjected with the lacZ gene exerted a characteristic greenish-blue color originating from the bacterial beta-galactosidase activity, albeit at a low rate, i.e. 2.1% of the total fertilized oocytes injected. It was concluded, therefore, that the lacZ gene driven by the SV40 promoter could be used for an indirect screening method in which the presence of transgene is evaluated from the product of transgene expression.
