Eight strains of Lactobacilli(a, b, b', c, d, e, f and g) were isolated from seven Korean liquid-yogurts(A, B, C, D, E, F and G), and identification and tolerance-test to digestive fluids were carried out. Isolate a from yogurt A and isolate a from yogurt E were identified as L. casei, isolate b from yogurt B as L. acidophilus, isolate d from yogurt D as L. bulgaricus, isolate f from yogurt F as L. helveticus, and isolate b' from yogurt B, isolate c from yogurt C and isolate g from yogurt G as L. jugurti, respectively. Isolate f(L. helveticus) and c(L. jugurti) showed high tolerance to artificial gastric juice but didn't to bile acid. Isolate b(L. acidophilus), a(L. casei), and e(L. casei) showed high tolerance to both artificial gastric juice and bile acid, but isolate d(L. bulgaricus), b'(L. jurgurti) and g(L. jugurti) did not.

Objective : Many biomechanical and clinical studies on adjacent segment degeneration (ASD) have addressed cranial segment. No study has been conducted on caudal segment degeneration after upper segment multiple lumbar fusions. This is a retrospective investigation of the L5-S1 segment after spinal fusion at and above L4-5, which was undertaken to analyze the rate of caudal ASD at L5-S1 after spinal fusion on and above L4-5 and to determine that factors that might have influenced it. Methods : The authors included 67 patients with L4-5, L3-5, or L2-5 posterior fusions. Among these patients, 28 underwent L4-5 fusion, 23 L3-5, and 16 L2-5 fusions. Pre- and postoperative radiographs were analyzed to assess degenerative changes at L5-S1. Also, clinical results after fusion surgery were analyzed. Results : Among the 67 patients, 3 had pseudoarthrosis, and 35 had no evidence of ASD, cranially and caudally. Thirteen patients (19.4%) showed caudal ASD, 23 (34.3%) cranial ASD, and 4 (6.0%) both cranial and caudal ASD. Correlation analysis for caudal ASD at L5-S1 showed that pre-existing L5-S1 degeneration was most strongly correlated. In addition, numbers of fusion segments and age were also found to be correlated. Clinical outcome was not correlated with caudal ASD at L5-S1. Conclusion : If caudal and cranial ASD are considered, the overall occurrence rate of ASD increases to 50%. The incidence rate of caudal ASD at L5-S1 was significantly lower than that of cranial ASD. Furthermore, the occurrence of caudal ASD was found to be significantly correlated with pre-existing disc degeneration.

The Reaction of S-methyl-S-cysteine(L-Smc) with racemic $s-cis-[Co(demba)Cl_2]-1$ (Hydmedba = $NN'-dimethylethylenediamine-NN'-di-\alpha-butyric$, acid) yields ${\Delta}$-s-cis-[Co(dmedba)(L-Smc)] 2 with N, O-chelation. Oxidation of sulfur of 2 with $H_2O_2$ in a 1 : 1 mole ratio gives ${\Delta}$-s-cis[Co(dmedba)(L-S(O)mc)] 3 having an uncoordinated sulfenate group. Oxidation of sulfur of L-Sm with $H_2O_2in$ a 1: 1 mole ratio produces S-methyl-L-cysteinesulfenate (L-S(O)me) 5. Direct reaction of 1 with 5 in basic medium gives an N.O-chelated ${\Delta}$s-cis[Co(dmedba)(L-S(O)mc)-N.O], which turmed out be same as obtained by oxidation of 2, while an N, S-chelated ${\Delta}$-s-cis-[Co(dmedba)(S-S(O)mc)-N,O] complex 4 is obtained in acidic medium from the reaction of 1 with 5. This is one of the rare $[$Co^{III}$(N_2O_2-type$ ligand)(amino acid)] type complex preparations, where the reaction conditions determine which mode of N, O and N, S caelation modes is favored.

마늘의 저장 중 생리활성과 향미에 중요한 영향을 미치는 성분의 변화를 발표된 논문을 중심으로 정리하여 살펴보았다. 또한 마늘의 냄새를 최소화하고 생리활성을 극대화할 수 있는 기능성식품의 소재개발 타당성을 살펴보기 위하여 열처리(blanching)로 마늘 중의 효소를 모두 불활성화 시킨 후, 이에 마늘로부터 추출한 alliinase를 가하여 반응조건에 따른 alk(en)yl thiosulfinates 생성 및 이들의 분해산물인 휘발성 황함유화합물의 함량변화를 측정하였다. 수확한 마늘의 최종 저장물질로 알려진 -glutamyl-S-alk(en)yl-L-cysteines는 마늘중에 존재하는 -glutamyl-transpeptidase 및 oxidase의 작용에 의하여 감소한 반면 S-alk(en)yl cysteine sulfoxide는 감소한 만큼 증가하였으며, 이는 $-3^{\circ}C$ 및 실온($23^{\circ}C$)에서 보다도 냉장온도($4^{\circ}C$)에서 가장 많이 변화하는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 감소 및 증가현상은 -glutamyl-S-(2-popenyl)-L-cysteine이 -glutamyl-S-(trans-1-propenyl)-L- cysteine이나 -glutamyl-S-methyl-L-cysteine보다 더 컸다. -glutamyl-S-(2-propen yl)-L-cysteine은 $4^{\circ}C$에서 저장 60일 만에 66%가 감소한 반면 이로부터 생성된 S-(2- popenyl)-L-cysteine sulfoxide는 그 만큼 증가하였다. -glutamyl-S-(trans-1-propenyl)-L-cysteine 및 -glutamyl-S-methyl-L-cysteine도 $4^{\circ}C$에서 150일간 저장한 경우 각각 81% 및 39%가 감소하고, 이들로부터 각각 생성된 S-(trans-1- propenyl)-L-cysteine sulfoxides 및 S-methyl-L-cysteine sulfoxide는 증가하였다. 한편 열처리 마늘에 alliinase를 가하여 함황화합물을 재생성 시킨 결과 8종의 S-alk(en)yl cysteine sulfoxides를 확인할 수 있었다. S-(2-propenyl)-L-cysteine sulfoxide은 전체 thiosulfinates함량의 약 60%를 차지하는 것으로 나타났다. 100, 200, 300 및 400 unit의 alliinase를 첨가하여 15분간 반응시킨 결과 총 thiosulfinates는 생마늘(대조구)에 비하여 각각 37, 68, 77 및 80%가 생성되는 것으로 나타났다. GC/MSD를 이용하여 대조구 및 효소를 첨가하여 반응시킨 시료의 휘발성 향기성분을 분석한 결과 alliinase를 100, 200, 300 및 400 unit 첨가하여 15분간 반응시키면 각각 마늘의 휘발성 향기성분이 25, 36, 66및 76% 씩 재 생성되는 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 결과를 종합해 볼 때 마늘을 이용한 제품개발이나 연구를 할 경우 마늘의 저장조건에 따른 생리활성물질의 분석결과를 근거로 하여 이루어져야 하며, 또한 효소를 이용하여 적절히 반응시키면 마늘 냄새를 $30{\sim}80%$ 범위 내에서 조절이 가능한 것으로 나타났다.

1 With cysteinedesulfhydrase (E. C.4.4.1.1.) from Aerobactor aerogenes, an enzyme which catalyzes the stoichiometric conversion of L-cysteine to pyruvate, ammonia and sulfide, reversibility of the degradation of L-cysteine was investigated. It was found that the enzyme also catalized the reverse reaction of $\alpha$, $\beta$-elimination to synthesize L-cysteine derivatives from pyruvate, ammonia and sulfides when large amounts of substrates were added to the reaction mixtures. 2. The synthetic reaction by cysteinedesulfhydrase proceeded linearly with incubation time and enzyme concentrations. The optimal pH for the synthetic reaction was 10.0. 3. The results of the isolation and identification of the products showed that the L-cysteine derivatives synthesized by this enzymatic method were identical with S-methyl-L-cysteine and S-ethyl-L-cysteine respectively.

Glucose and xylose are the most abundant materials in nature which can be used to produce ethanol by yeast fermentation. Three combinations of cultivation with glucose and xylose were carried out; separated, co-culture, and sequential fermentation with Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Pichia stipitis. In the separated fermentation, S. cerevisiae fermented glucose to produce 14.5 g/l ethanol from 29.4 g/l glucose but hardly used xylose. However, P. stipitis utilized not only glucose but also xylose to produce ethanol 11.9 g/l and 11.6 g/l from 29.4 g/l glucose and 29.0 g/l xylose, respectively. In the mixture of glucose and xylose, P. stipitis fermented both sugars, producing 21.1 g/l ethanol while S. cerevisiae fermented only glucose, producing 13.4 g/l ethanol. In the co-culture and sequential fermentation, the co-culture showed more efficient ethanol productivity with 18.6 g/l ethanol than the sequential fermentation with 12.4 g/l ethanol. To investigate the effect of nutrients in the growth of microorganisms and ethanol production, yeast nitrogen base (YNB) was used in the sequential fermentation with S. cerevisiae and P. stipitis. YNB supplemented some nutrients which S. cerevisiae used up in the broth and the culture showed increased growth rate, increased consumption of xylose, and increased ethanol productivity producing 22.5 g/l ethanol from 54.6 g/l sugar with a yield of 0.41 g/g.

We give the necessary condition for an operator defined on a cartesian product of $c_0(\mathcal{X})$ spaces to be summing or dominated and we show that for the multiplication operators this condition is also sufficient. By using these results, we show that ${\Pi}_s(c_0,{\ldots},c_0;c_0)$ contains a copy of $l_s(l^m_2{\mid}m{\in}\mathbb{N})$ for s > 2 or a copy of $1_s(l^m_1{\mid}{\in}\mathbb{N})$, for any $l{\leq}S$ < ${\infty}$. Also ${\Delta}_{s_1,{\ldots},s_n}(c_0,{\ldots},c_0;c_0)$ contains a copy of $l_{{\upsilon}_n(s_1,{\ldots},s_n)}$ if ${\upsilon}_n(s_1,{\ldots},s_n){\leq}2$ or a copy of $l_{{\upsilon}_n(s_1,{\ldots},s_n)}(l^m_2{\mid}m{\in}\mathbb{N})$ if 2 < ${\upsilon}_n(s_1,{\ldots},s_n)$, where ${\frac{1}{{\upsilon}_n(s_1,{\ldots},s_n})}={\frac{1}{s_1}}+{\cdots}+{\frac{1}{s_n}}$. We find also the necessary and sufficient conditions for bilinear operators induced by some method of summability to be 1-summing or 2-dominated.
