산림청으로부터 분양받은 백강균의 균주 F101, F587, FJ8의 포자형성력과 균사와 포자의 esterase 활성도를 비교한 결과 F101이 가장 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 균의 포자를 도말한 후 $25^{\circ}C$ 조건에서 보관하면 5~7일부터 충이 치사하여 24~28일 후에는 충의 표면에 균사와 포자가 분출한다. 그러나 $4^{\circ}C$ 보관조건에서는 뚜렷한 병적 증상이 나타나지 않았고 50일 이상이 경과하여도 충밖으로 균사나 포자가 분출되는 것을 관찰할 수 없다. 백강균의 포자를 충체에 주입하였을 경우에는 충의 치사시기가 빨라지며 4$^{\circ}C$보다 $25^{\circ}C$에 보관하면서 지방체, 표피, 혈림프로 구분하여 전기영동법으로 조사한 결과 각 조직의 일반단백질과 esterase는 충 치사시기인 3일(60시간)을 기점으로 상당수가 사라지는 현상을 보인다. 백강균은 기주에 재차감염을 일으킬 수 있는 확율을 최대한으로 하기 위하여 공기중에 있을 때는 포자를, 토중에서는 길고 가는 균사를 형성하는 생리적인 적응을 한다.

A metagenomic library of surface-water microbes from the Yangtze River in China was constructed, and a novel esterase, designated as EstY, was isolated and characterized. EstY had 423 amino acids with an estimated molecular mass of 44 kDa and pI of 7.28. It hydrolyzed various p-nitrophenyl esters(acetate, butyrate, caprate, caprylate, laurate, myristate, and palmitate) and its best substrate was p-nitrophenyl caprate(C8). The optimum pH for EstY activity was 9.0 and the optimum temperature was $50^{\circ}C$. Metal ions, such as $Mn^{2+},\;Co^{2+},\;Hg^{2+},\;Zn^{2+},\;and\;Fe^{3+}$, strongly inhibited the activity of EstY, whereas $Mg^{2+}$ was required for maximal activity. Activity remained in the presence of 10% alcohol, acetone, isopropanol, and dimethyl sulfoxide, respectively. An analysis of the amino acid sequence deduced from estY revealed that it had 7 closely related lipolytic enzymes. Moreover, a sequence analysis showed that EstY, like its 7 relatives, did not belong to any known lipolytic enzyme family.

$(R)-\beta-acetylmercaptoisobutyric$ acid (RAM), a chiral compound, is an important intermediate for the chemical synthesis of various antihypertensive and congestive heart failure drugs. Microorganisms capable of converting $(R,S)-\beta-acetylmercaptoisobutyric$ acid ((R,S)-ester) to RAM were screened from soil microorganisms. A strain of Pseudomonas sp. 1001 screened from a soil sample was selected to be the best. Cells showed an activity of 540 U/mL from culture broth and the enzyme was thermostable up to $70^{\circ}C$. This strain could produce RAM asymmetrically from (R,S)-ester.

The effects of a newly developed flower thinning formulation (FTF) on the vitality of the honey bee Apis mellifera were examined by measuring the activities of various digestive enzymes in adult worker bees. First, direct spraying of the FTF solution did not cause any behavioral changes or lethal effects for the honey bees based on 24 h observation. Second, oral ingestion of a sugar solution containing the FTF did not produce any significant change in the activities of amylase, proteinases, lipase, or acetylcholine esterase (AChE) in the worker bees 6 h or 24 h after treatment. Meanwhile, a commercial formulation containing sulfur compounds showed slightly reduced activities for several digestive enzymes and AChE, although no behavioral disturbance. Thus, the results of the present study suggest that the FTF is not toxic for honey bees, in terms of contact and ingestion. Therefore, this newly developed FTF can be used for flower thinning without any detrimental effects on pollinating insects.

Caffeoyl shikimate esterase (CSE) is a key enzyme in lignin synthesis in Arabidopsis thaliana. To determine the role of CSE in lignification of the endocarp in peach (Prunus persica L.) fruit, we cloned and characterized the P. persica CSE homolog, which we designated PpCSE. The 954 - bp PpCSE gene encoded a 317 - amino acid polypeptide. PpCSE expression patterns in the mesocarp and endocarp changed during peach fruit development. There was no significant difference between the expression levels of PpCSE in the mesocarp and endocarp at 39 and 44 days after full bloom (DAFB), but the expression level of PpCSE in the endocarp at 50 and 55 DAFB was 80.73 and 72.75 times higher, respectively, than that in the mesocarp. During peach fruit development, PpCSE expression in the endocarp increased rapidly; the relative PpCSE expression level at 50 DAFB was 122.70 times higher than that at 39 DAFB. At the protein level, CSE was detected in the peach fruit endocarp at 50 and 55 DAFB. Our study suggests that PpCSE expression during peach fruit development is closely related to the degree of endocarp lignification.

Medium-chain length polyhydrexyalkanoic acids (MCL-PHAs) degrading bacterium was isolated from the soil. The bacterium was identified as Janthinobacterium lividum by its biochemical properties, cell membrane fatty acids composition, and 16S rDNA sequence analysis. The bacterium showed a similarity of 0.911 with J. lividum according to the cell membrane fatty acids analysis and a similarity of 97% in the 16S rDNA requence analysis. Culture supernatant of the bacterium skewed the highest depolymerase activity toward polyhydroxynonanoic acid (PHN) that did not degrade the poly-$\beta$-hydroxybutyric acid (PHB). The esterase activity was also detected with p-nitrophenyl (PNP) esters of fatty acids such as PNP-dodecanoic PNP-dodecanoic acid, PNP-decanoic acid, and PNP-hexanoic acid.

An enzyme analysis of the liver fluke, Clonorchis sinensis from Kimhae, Korea and from Shenyang, China was conducted using a horizontal. starch gel electrophoresis in order to elucidate their genetic relationships. A total of eight enzymes was employed from two different kinds of buffer systems. Two loci from each enzyme of aconitase and esterase (${\alpha}-Na{\;}and{\;}{\beta}-Na$) : and only one locus each from six enzymes, gluucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD), ${\alpha}-glycerophosphate$ dehydrogenase (GPD), 3-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase (HBDH), malate dehydrogenase (MDH), phosphoglucose isomerase (PGI), and phosphoglucomutase (PGM) were detected. Most of loci in two populations of C. sinensis showed homozygous monomorphic banding patterns and one of them, GPD was specific as genetic markers between two different populations. However, esterase (${\alpha}-Na$), GPD, HBDH and PGI loci showed polymorphic banding patterns. Two populations of C. sinensis were more closely clustered within the range of genetic identity value of 0.998-1.0. In summarizing the above results, two populations of C. sinensis employed in this study showed mostly monomorphic enzyme protein banding patterns, and genetic differences specific between two populations.

일반화 선형모형의 범위를 크게 확장한 준-우도 모형에서 반응변수의 분산성분인 산포모수가 상수가아니라 어떤 공변량들의 값에 의존하여 변하는 경우, 평균과 산포의 동시 모형화가 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 준-우도 모형에서 평균과 산포의 동시 모형화를 통해 실제 자료를 쉽게 분석하도록 해주는 통계 패키지 GENSTAT(release 5.3.2, 1996)을 활용하여, Carrol과 Ruppert(1987,pp.46-47)에 의해 소개된 에스테르 분해효소 (esterase assay)의 자료에 대해 그래픽 방법을 이용한 모형검토를 통해서 기존의 평균모형 보다는 평균과 산포의 동시 모형화를 고려해야 하는 필요성을 언급한 뒤, 그 자료에 대한 적절한 평균과 산포의 동시 모형을 찾는 방법을 연구한다.

야생형(野生型)인 만가닥버섯(Lyophyllum ulmarium ASI 8007)의 원형질체(原形質體)로부터 분리(分離)한 염색체(染色體)를 영양요구주(營養要求株)인 잔나비걸상버섯(Ganoderma applanatum ASI 7-18; cys met)의 원형질체내(原形質體內)에 $PEG+CaCl_2$로 섭입(攝入)하였다. 형질전환주(形質轉煥株)는 microtransgenome과 macrotransgenome type으로 전자(前者)는 느리고 불안정성(不安定性)인 균사생장(菌絲生長), 후자(後者)는 아주 빠른 안정성(安定性)인 균사생장(菌絲生長)이 있으며, 균사(菌絲)가 양친(兩親)보다 굵었으며 GCM+benomyl에서 균총분리(菌叢分離)가 일어났다. 이들을 전기영동으로 esterase 동위효소(同位酵素) 패턴을 조사한 결과 양친에 비하여 위치가 다르게 나타났다.

Carroll과 Ruppert(1988)는 준가능도(quasi-likelihood)를 이용하여 에스트라제 측정자료를 회귀분석하였다. Jung과 Lee(1997)는 준가능도을 이용한 회귀분석모형의 적합도정통계량을 제안하였으며 검정 별과 기각되지 않아 본 분석모형이 타당하다고 주장하였다. 그러나 Lee와 Nelder(1998)의 잔차그림을 검토한 결과, 상기 모형으로는 평균증가에 따른 분산증가를 충분히 반영할 수 없었다. 본 논문에서는 Lee와 Nelder(1998)의 평균과 분산의 동시모형으로 에스트라제 자료를 재분석하고 잔차그림을 이용하여 모형의 타당성을 재평가하였다. 또한 분산에서 산포모형에 대한 적합도검정에는 Lee와 Nelder(1998)의 제한가능도(restricted likelihood)에 근거한 검정법이 보다 적절함을 제시하였다.
