To isolate new antioxidants from twelve edible seaweeds, mixed methanol and chloroform extract of marine algae was fractionated into several subfractions and their antioxidant activities were measured by using AOM and 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH). Especially the aqueous-methanol soluble fractions of brown and red algae showed a considerable antioxidant effect. Their antioxidant activities were stronger than synthetic antioxidants such as BHA, BHT, under the same concentration. Further fractionation of the aqueous-methanol soluble fractions using silica gel column chromatography yielded five subfractions. Among them methanol fraction exhibited high DPPH quenching activities. Also, it was confirmed to be benzene-derivative substances of two compounds by UV, HPLC, GC/MS analysis. Its each molecular weight was about 181, 238. These results suggested the existence of two effective natural antioxidant compounds in three edible marine algae.

The studies on the structure of anthocyanins in wild vines have beer carried out. The pigments were extracted with 0.5% HCl in methanol from the wild vines which were wildly grown in the mountain area of Korea and purified with Amberlite IRC-50 canon exchange resin. The individual pigments were separated by paper chromatography. Sever. pigments were identified by partial acid hydrolysis, sugar moiety, alkaline degradation, $R_f$ values of paper chromatography in various solvents and absorption spectra in the visible region. The identified pigments were delphinidin 3-monoglucoside, petunidin 3-monoglucoside, cyanidin 3-monoglucoside, delphinidin 3, 5-diglucoside, malvidin 3-monoglucoside, petunidin 3, 5 diglucoside and malvidin 3, 5-diglucoside.

Some minor carotenoid pigments, luteints, lutein monoester, torulene, $\gamma$-carotene, and 5,6-monoepoxy-$\alpha$-carotene-like have been separated and identified from the abdominal skin of Bombina Orientalis. Their structures have been established through the physical and chemical properties, VIS-UV and IR spectral characteristics, and chromatographic behaviors.

지초(Lithospermum efthrorhizon)뿌리는 예로부터 한방약제로 이용되어져 왔으며, 지초 뿌리에 함유된 naphtoquinon계 색소물질인 shikonin은 항암, 항균, 항바이러스, 항염증 등의 효과가 있다고 보고되었다. 그러나 지초뿌리에 함유된 기능성 물질에 관한 연구는 미비한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 지초뿌리에서 기능성 물질의 탐색 및 기능성 해명연구를 위하여 지초뿌리를 ethanol로 추출한 후 이 추출물을 n-hexane, EtOAc, MeOH로 순차적으로 추출하여 MeOH추출물을 얻었다. 이 MeOH추출물을 silica gel adsorption column chromatography, ODS column chromatography, Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography로 순차 정제한 후 Shodex Asahipak column을 이용한 GPC-HPLC에 의해 활성 물질을 분리하였다. 분리된 물질들은 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, COSY, HSQC, HMBC, FAB-MS 등의 기기분석을 통해 당 관련 화합물인 것으로 판명되었다.

A potent intracellular-lipid-producing yeast, Rhodotrorular glutinis var. glutinis sw-17 was studied on the production of carotenoids after shaking the cultures for 8 days at $25^{\circ}C$. The pigments were extracted with solvents and chromatographed with columns for its isolation. The carotonoids were identified by their positions on the column, and by their light-absorption curves. Close agreement was obtained between the absorption maxima of the isolated pigments and published literature values. The characteristic wave length maxima and the extinction values used for quantitative determination. The caroteniod pigments produced by the yeast were composed of torularhodin(28.52%), torulene(38.16%), neurosporene(1.49%), ${\gamma}-carotene(9.88%)$, ${\beta}$-zeacarotene(2.0%), ${\beta}-carotene(19.95%)$ and ${\delta}-carotene(trace)$.

Poly(ethylene glycol)-PPB two phase system was used tot the purification of $\beta$-galactosidase from Lactobacillus sporogenes. The smaller the molecular weight of concentration of PEG phase in-creased, proteins as well as $\beta$-galactosidase was partitioned into the top phase. All cell debris were confined to the potassium phosphate phase (bottom phase), approached to the binodial line. The purification ratio increased by changing the polymer-salt composition of the tie line towards higher salt concentrations. It was also possible to obtain higher purification of the enzyme after two-step extraction using PEG 1000 and PEG 300. The top phase contained 74% of the total $\beta$-galactosidase with a purification factor of 2.1.

Skyrin was extracted from Penicillium islandicum cultivated on synthetic Czapek-Dox medium. A preliminary experiment in Penicillium islandium using $[^{14}C]$-acetate proved the incorporation of $[^{14}C]$ into skyrin. In the cell-free system using the fungus $[^3H]$-emodin and $[^3H]$-emodinanthrone were shown to give some reliable evidences far the biosynthesis of skyrin. The incorporation of $[^3H]$-emodin was less significant than that of $[^{3}H]$-emodinanthrone. As a result of the cell-free experiment, the biosynthetic pathway of skyrin by the fungus was suggested as follows: $emodinanthrone{\rightarrow}emodin{\rightarrow}skyrin$.

The angiotensin-I converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors from laver hydrolysate was isolated. Among the 13 kinds of proteases, Maxazyme NNP was most effective for preparing the high ACE inhibitory compound. In extraction conditions of ACE inhibitory peptide from laver hydrolysate, ACE inhibitory activity of hydrolysate treated with diethylether for decolorization and that of $70\%$ ethanol soluble fraction among the different ethanol concentrations were higher than other preparations. Low molecular fraction less than 3,000 dalton of layer hydrolysate separated by ultrafiltration had the highest ACE inhibitory activity, for further separation of ACE inhibitory peptide from laver hydrolysate, gel filtration chromatography (Sephadex G-25), reverse-phase HPLC (ODS & Vydac C-18) and gel permeation chromatography (Superdex Peptide HR) were performed. The molecular mass of the ACE inhibitory peptide fractions of gel permeation chromatography determined by electrospray-mass spectrometer were 413.48 (S1O2V2V1P),346.86 (S1O2V2V2P) and 320.32 (S2O6V3V1P) dalton and their amino acid sequence were Val-Gln-Gly-Asn, Thr-Glu-Thr and Phe-Arg, respectively.

Prodigiosin, a member of natural red pigment family, is produced by Serratia marcescens, and characterized by a common pyrrolylpyrromethane skeleton. This pigment has been reported with the effects of anticancer, immunosuppressant, antifungal, and algicidal activities. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a major cause of hospital infections. In this study, anti-MRSA properties of prodigiosin isolated from Serratia sp. PDGS 120915 were investigated. We identified and purified prodigiosin using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and evaluated anti-MRSA activity. Purified prodigiosin inhibited the growth of MRSA. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of prodigiosin were determined to $32{\mu}g/ml$ against the MRSA strains. Fractional inhibitory concentration (FIC) indices of ampicillin and penicillin were indicated synergistic effects of prodigiosin on MRSA.
