A highly thermostable ${\beta}-(1-4)-glucanase$ (NA23_08975) gene (fig) from Fervidobacterium islandicum AW-1, a native-feather degrading thermophilic eubacterium, was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. The recombinant FiG (rFiG) protein showed strong activity toward ${\beta}-{\small{D}}-glucan$ from barley (367.0 IU/mg), galactomannan (174.0 IU/mg), and 4-nitrophenyl-cellobioside (66.1 IU/mg), but relatively weak activity was observed with hydroxyethyl cellulose (5.3 IU/mg), carboxymethyl cellulose (2.4 IU/mg), and xylan from oat spelt (1.4 IU/mg). rFiG exhibited optimal activity at $90^{\circ}C$ and pH 5.0. In addition, this enzyme was extremely thermostable, showing a half-life of 113 h at $85^{\circ}C$. These results indicate that rFiG could be used for hydrolysis of cellulosic and hemicellulosic biomass substrates for biofuel production.

A strain of Streptomyces cavourensis subsp. cavourensis (coded as SY224) antagonistic to Colletotrichum gloeosporioides infecting pepper plants was isolated. SY224 produced lytic enzymes such as chitinase, ${\beta}$-1,3-glucanase, lipase, and protease in respective assays. To examine for antifungal activity, the treatments amended with the nonsterilized supernatant resulted in the highest growth inhibition rate of about 92.9% and 87.4% at concentrations of 30% and 10%, respectively. However, the sterilized treatments (autoclaved or chloroform treated) gave a lowered but significant inhibitory effect of about 63.4% and 62.6% for the 10% supernatant concentration, and 75.2% and 74.8% for the of 30% supernatant concentration in the PDA agar medium, respectively, indicative of the role of a non-protein, heat stable compound on the overall effect. This antifungal compound, which inhibited spore germination and altered hyphal morphology, was extracted by EtOAc and purified by ODS, silica gel, Sephadex LH-20 column, and HPLC, where an active fraction was confirmed to be 2-furancarboxaldehyde by GS-CI MS techniques. These results suggested that SY224 had a high potential in the biocontrol of anthracnose in pepper, mainly due to a combined effect of lytic enzymes and a non-protein, heat-stable antifungal compound, 2-furancarboxaldehyde.

A lichenase gene (mt-lic) was identified for the first time through function-based screening of a soil metagenomic library. Its deduced amino acid sequence exhibited a high degree of homology with endo-${\beta}$-1,3-1,4-glucanase (having both lichenase and chitosanase activities), encoded by the bgc gene of Bacillus circulans WL-12. The recombinant lichenase overexpressed and purified from Escherichia coli was able to efficiently hydrolyze both barley ${\beta}$-glucan and lichenan. The enzyme showed maximal activity at a pH of 6.0 at $50^{\circ}C$, with Azo-barley-glucan as the substrate. The metal ions $Mn^{2+}$, $Mg^{2+}$, $Ca^{2+}$, and $Fe^{2+}$ enhanced the enzymatic activity, whereas the $Cu^{2+}$ and $Zn^{2+}$ ions inhibited the enzymatic activity. The $K_m$ and $V_{max}$ values of the purified lichenase were determined to be 0.45 mg/ml and 24.83 U/min/mg of protein, respectively.

The effect of Acibenzolar-S-methyl (ASM) and Rahnella aquatilis Ra39 against apple fire blight disease caused by Erwinia amylovora were tested as a possible alternative to streptomycin. In vitro studies, no inhibition effect against the pathogen was found when ASM was tested. Under greenhouse conditions, application of R. aquatilis Ra39 with the highly susceptible M26 rootstock resulted in a marked disease suppression. Application of ASM and strain Ra39 caused a high decrease of the disease, 82% and 58% respectively; this was correlated with a reduction of the growth of the pathogen within host plants up to 64% and 49.5% respectively. Further studies in the field under artificial infection condition during full bloom revealed that application of ASM and R. aquatilis Ra39 with Gala variety resulted in a control effect up to 21 and 29% respectively. In physiological studies, enhanced activities of PR-proteins (chitinase and $\beta$-1, 3-glucanase) were detected, which are well known as biochemical markers for systemic acquired resistance. Application of ASM to apple shoots caused the highest chitinase activity followed by strain Ra39. The enzyme activity was increased after 2, 4 and 6 days from application. In addition, ASM-treatment caused the higher $\beta$-1, 3-glucanase activity than strain Ra39. Maximum enzyme activity was recorded after 6 days from application and then decreased after 8 and 10 days from application.

비허용온도인 $37^{\circ}C$에서 삼투감수성을 보이며 베타-1,3-글루칸 합성능이 현저히 손상된 Saccharomyces cerevisiae mutant(LP353)를 YCp50으로 제조한 yeast genomic library로 형질전환시킨 후, 콜로니 자기방사법으로 형질전환체의 선별을 시도한 결과, LP353의 베타-1,3-글루칸 합성능을 부분적으로 회복시켜 주는 약 8.5-kb 크기의 DNA 절편을 클로닝하는데 성공하였다. 클로닝된 8.5-kb의 DNA 절편은 copy 수에 무관하게 LP353의 또 다른 표현형질인 온도의존적 삼투감수성은 회복시켜 주지 못하였으나, 세포벽의 베타-1,3-글루칸 함량과 베타-1,3-글루칸 분해효소인 ${\beta}-glucanase$에 대한 내성은 copy수에 무관하게 증가시켜 주었다. 한편, 8.5-kb의 DNA 절편은 $37^{\circ}C$의 삼투안정제가 첨가된 액체배지에서 잘 자라지 못하는 LP353의 돌연변이 형질을 회복시켜 야생형의 수준에 근접하는 생장양상을 보여 주었다. 이상의 결과로 클로닝된 8.5-kb 크기의 DNA 절편은 S. cerevisiae의 베타-1,3-글루칸 생합성에 관여하는 유전자의 하나인 BGS2를 포함하고 있는 것으로 보여지며, subcloning을 통한 기능부위 분석 결과, 4.8-kb 크기의 BglII-KpnI DNA 절편에 BGS2가 존재하는 것으로 추정되었다.

Paddy rice is rarely used as a feed because of its high fiber content. In this study, two experiments were conducted to study the effects of supplementing an enzyme complex consisting of xylanase, beta-glucanase and cellulase, to paddy-based diets on the performance and nutrient digestibility in meat-type ducks. In the both experiments, meat-type ducks (Cherry Valley) were randomly assigned to four treatments. Treatment 1 was a basal diet of corn-soybean; treatment 2 was a basal diet of corn-paddy-soybean; treatment 3, had enzyme complex added to the corn-paddy-soybean basal diet at levels of 0.5 g/kg diet; and treatment 4, had enzyme complex added to the corn-paddy-soybean diet at levels of 1.0 g/kg diet. The results showed that the enzyme complex increased the ADG, and decreased the ADFI and F/G significantly (p<0.05) in the ducks, and the ADFI for the ducks fed the corn-paddy-soybean diet showed no difference compared to the ducks fed corn-soybean diets at all stages of the experiment (p<0.05). When corn was partially replaced by paddy, the digestibility of CP and NDF was decreased and increased, respectively (p<0.05), and the level of enzyme complex had a significant effect on both CP and NDF digestibility (p<0.05). As for the AME, addition of enzyme complex increased it significantly (p<0.05), but both diet types and levels of enzyme complex had no effect (p>0.05). The outcome of this research indicates that the application of enzyme complex made up of xylanase, beta-glucanase, and cellulase, in the corn-paddy-soybean diet, can improve performance and nutrition digestibility in meat-type ducks.

Leaf rust is the most widespread and destructive fungal disease, and outbreaks have always caused considerable losses in wheat yields. Thus, worldwide increases in wheat production depend on the development of leaf rust-resistant wheat varieties. In this study, we evaluated the resistance of forty Korean wheat cultivars to leaf rust at the seedling stage. Only two Korean wheats, Ol and Jonong, were resistant to leaf rust, whereas the remaining thirty-eight Korean wheats were susceptible to leaf rust. The Ol and Jonong varieties presented larger dry seed weights and higher antioxidant activity in response to leaf rust than the susceptible wheat varieties. No differences in ${\beta}$-1,3-glucanase activity or chlorophyll content between resistant and susceptible wheat varieties were observed. Overall, these results are important for the development of wheat varieties that are highly resistant to leaf rust and to understand the underlying mechanisms that confer leaf rust resistance.

최근 들어서 생물학적 제어 방법의 하나로써 키틴분해 미생물을 이용한 제어 수단이 식물병제어에 일정한 효과가 있는 것으로 보고되고 있다. Fusarium 시들음병을 억제하기 위하여 40kg의 키틴퇴비를 면적이 $7.5m^2$ 인 토양에 정식 7일전 처리하였으며 토마토가 시들음병 증세를 보이기 시작하는 날(정식 후 66일)로부터 시작하여 4번에 걸쳐 시료를 채취하였다. 키틴퇴비 처리구(CTC)의 근권토양의 키틴효소와 ${\beta}$-1,3-glucan 효소 활성은 일반퇴비 처리구 (CC) 토양 보다 항상 높은 값을 나타냈다. 그러나 식물체 뿌리에서 측정된 chitinase, ${\beta}$-1,3-glucanase, peroxidase과 같은 병 관련 효소들은 CNC에서 실험기간동안 증가 추이를 보였다. 실험의 마지막 단계인 정식 후 96일째에는 CTC의 토마토는 CC 와 비교 할 때 25% 낮은 치사율을 나타냈다.
