  • 진균의 phenylalanine ammonia-lyase(PAL)와 식물의 PAL간 그리고 PAL과 histidine ammonia-lyase (HAL)간의 구조적 특성 관계에 대한 이해를 얻기 위해 옥수수병원균인 깜부기균(Ustilago maydis)의 PAL에 대한 면역학적 분석을 수행하였다. 진균의 PAL 항체와 식물의 PAL 항체를 이용하여 분석하였을 때 실험한 모든 종의 PAL 간에 교차반응이 나타났다. 알팔파 PAL 항체와 포플라 PAL 항체 모두 식물 PAL은 강하게 인식하였으나 진균의 PAL은 약하게 인식하였다. U. maydis PAL은 Rhodotorula glutinis 효모의 PAL만 약하게 인식하였다. U. maydis PAL은 식물의 PAL에 대해서 낮은 친화성을 보였으나 Pseudomonas 세균의 HAL에 대해서는 강한친화성을 보였다. 2종의 식물 PAL 항체들 또한 Pseudomonas 세균의 HAL에 대해 강한 친화성을 보였다. 진균과 식물의 PAL 항체는 PAL 효소의 활성 저해를 나타냈으며 세균의 HAL 효소의 활성에 대해서도 중도적 저해를 나타냈다. 세균의 HAL 항체는 식물과 효모와 Ustilago PAL 중에 Ustilago PAL 활성만 저해하였다. 식물의 PAL과 진균의 PAL 모두 효모의 PAL 활성은 저해하지 못했다. 본 연구는 PAL과 HAL간에 면역학적 관계가 있음을 처음으로 보고한다.

  • Structure-activity relationship studies of allylamine type of antimycotics were carried out to evaluate the effect of naphthyl and methyl portion of naftifine. Compounds with 2,4-difluorophenyl( 2a-5a), 2,5-difluorophenyl(2b-5b), 4-ethylphenyl(2c-5c), 2-hydroxyphenyl(2d-5d) and 2-methylnaphthyl(2e-5e) instead of naphthyl group with hydrogen(3a-3e), methyl(4a-4e), and ethyl(5a-5e) in the place of methyl in naftifine were synthesized and tested their in vitro anti-fungal activity against five different fungi. Eight compounds( 3a, 4a, 5a, 3d, 4d, 4d, 5d, 3e, and 4e) showed significant anti-fungal activity against T. mentagroPhytes. (E)-N-(3-Phenyl-2-propenyl)-2- hydroxy-benzenemethaneamine( 3d) displayed moderate antifungal activity against all five different fungi.

  • There are many elastomeric joint sealant applications in construction such as structural glazing, weatherproofing and insulating glass fabrication etc. Each sealant joints require unique durability functions to perform well through building life cycle. Elastomeric joints in bathroom and kitchen is one of areas which require durable sealing. In this application, anti fungal durability is proprietary function of sealant during building life cycle. Premature failure of anti fungus resistance of sealant is putting big stresses to general contractor as well as the inhabitants due to costly rework and poor sanitation. Accordingly, when chemists design a product, they must take into account various parameters not only formulation components also test conditions in order to have long term fungal durability. This paper reviews several biocide options with various industry standards for fungus resistance performance to suggest making new test method for construction sealant industry.

  • Lindera obtusiloba Blume, a shrub prevalent in the understory vegetation of the deciduous forests in East Asia and Korea, is known for its pharmacological properties, including antioxidant, anti-allergic, and anti-inflammatory activities. Endophytic fungi were isolated from surface-sterilized twigs and leaves of L. obtusiloba collected from Samcheok-si and Jecheon-si in Korea. The fungal strains were identified based on their morphological characteristics and molecular analyses using DNA markers such as internal transcribed spacer, large subunit rDNA, β-tubulin, chitin synthase, and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase. Here, we report two new records of endophytic fungi isolated from L. obtusiloba in Korea: Colletotrichum citricola and Valsa ceratophora. These results enhance our understanding of the diversity of endophytic fungi in L. obtusiloba and contribute to enhancing our knowledge of fungal biodiversity in Korea.

  • Ola 잎에 글씨를 새긴 다음 그 홈을 Vateria acuminata Hyne의 뿌리로 만든 식물성 오일과 탄소 가루를 섞어 채운 올라 잎 기록물은 스리랑카에서 사용되는 기록 방법 중의 하나이다. 문헌상에 따르면 올라 잎 기록물은 1세기부터 18세기까지 사용되었다. Ola 잎 기록물이 400여 년 동안 보관되어 왔다는 최근의 발견과 좋은 보존 상태로 보아 이 식물성 오일이 올라 잎을 곰팡이와 곤충 같은 생물학적 요인과 환경 요인으로부터 보호해 주는 것으로 보인다. 이 식물성 오일의 항균 활성을 측정하기 위하여 해인사 장경판전에서 분리한 곰팡이와 올라 잎에서 분리한 균을 배양한 후 억제 효과를 확인하였다. 균 현탁액을 평판배지에 도말한 다음 식물성 오일을 흡수시킨 페이퍼 디스크를 평판배지에 올린다. 이 실험에서 식물성 오일은 육안 상 분명한 투명환을 형성하였으며 곰팡이나 세균과 같은 미생물의 성장을 저해하는 것을 확인하였다. 이 결과로 보아 Vateria acuminata Hyne의 식물성 오일은 항세균 및 항진균 활성을 가지고 있다는 것을 나타낸다.

  • In the search for new naturally occurring angiogenic inhibitory we found that culture broths from two unidentified fungal strains exerted potent inhibitory activities on capillary-like tube formation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) in vitro. Two active compounds were isolated by bioassay-guided separation and their structures were identified as gliotoxin (1) and its derivative methylthiogliotoxin (2) by spectroscopic analyses. These compounds significantly inhibited the migration of HUVEC assessed by in vitro wounding migration assay and exhibited at least 10 times more potent inhibition of proliferation of HUVECs as compared with that of cancer cell lines such as HeLa, MCF-7, and KB 3-1 cells. Especially, gliotoxin having disulfide group exerted more potent activities than methylthiogliotoxin, suggesting that gliotoxin could be a useful compound for further study as an anti-angiogenic agent.

  • To handle the development of antifungal drug resistance, the development of new structural modules and new modes of action for antifungals have been highlighted recently. Here, the antifungal activity of quinonemethidal triterpenoids such as celastrol, dihydrocelastrol, iguestein, pristimerin, and tingenone isolated from Tripterygium regelii were identified (MIC $0.269-19.0{\mu}M$). C. glabrata was the most susceptible to quinonemethide among the tested fungi. Furthermore, quinonemethide suppressed cyctochrome c peroxidase expression dramatically, decreasing fungal viability caused by the accumulation of hydrogen peroxide. Thus, cyctochrome c peroxidase downregulation of quinonemethide may be a key mode of action for antifungals.

  • Long-term storage of feeds or feedstuffs in high temperature and humid conditions can be difficult because of microbial contamination. Essential oil isolated from industrial waste citrus peel could be used as a preservative because it is likely to have anti-bacterial and anti-fungal activity. Our objective was to determine whether different levels (0.028, 0.056 and 0.112 g/kg) of citrus essential oil (CEO) would provide anti-microbial activity and enhance preservation of animal feed without influencing rumen fermentation. At 0.112 g/kg, CEO inhibited growth of Escherichia coli (ATCC 25922) and Salmonela enteritidis (IFO 3313). Growth of E. coli recovered after 24 h of incubation, but S. enteritidis continued to be inhibited for 72 h. Preservation of antibiotic-free diets for swine was assessed by observing anti-aflatoxin activity. Aflatoxin was detected in control feed samples on days 16 (8 ppb) and 21 (8 ppb) and in anti-fungal agent (AA) treated samples on days 16 (2 ppb) and 21 (4 ppb). However, aflatoxin was not detected in feed samples treated with CEO. Treatment with CEO and AA did not influence ruminal pH, dry matter digestibility (DMD) or organic matter digestibility (OMD) over 48 h of incubation in rumen fluid. Acetate and propionate were slightly higher with CEO treatment (p<0.05), but total concentration of volatile fatty acid (VFA) was not significantly affected by treatment. Ammonia-N concentration was slightly higher for the control treatment (p<0.05). This study showed that treating feed with CEO enhances preservation of animal feed without influencing in vitro rumen fermentation.
