The cytochemical characteristics of the hematopoietic cells in blood and bone marrow from 3 clinically healthy dogs were examined using a battery of cytochemical stains. Alkaline phosphotase activity was demonstrated in eosinophilic series and occassionally in progranulocytes. A variety of cells exhibited acid phosphatase activity, but tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase activity was seen only in eosinophilic series. Peroxidase activity was observed in myeloblasts to segmented cells of granulocytic series and in monocytes. ${\alpha}$-naphthyl acetate esterase activity was found in monocytes and occassionally in lymphocytes. Naphthyl-AS-D-chloroacetate esterase marked neutrophilic series from myeloblasts to segmented cells. ${\beta}$-Glucuronidase activity was detected in a variety of cells except the cells of erythrocytic series. Periodic acid Schiff stain-positive granules were demonstrated in the neutrophilic and eosinophilic series from myelocytes to segmented cells and in monocytes and occassionally in lymphocytes. Sudan black B stain-positive granules marked granulocytic series from myeloblasts to segmented tells and monocytes.

Lipsome system composed of egg phosphatidylcholine was employed to reduce the membrane toxicity of Amphotericin B(Amp. B). Liposomal Amp. B, which showed a free drug equivalent antibiotic effect on fungi, displayed a remarkable reduction of toxicity of the drug against the membrane of red blood cell than that of fungizone which has been used in clinical treatment, and it shows conspicuously lowered toxicity on red blood cells. However liposomal Amp. B which contains cholesterol as a component of liposome lowered the antibiotic effect and toxicity than that phosphatidylcholine liposome. This due to the affinity between Amp. B and cholesterol. In addition to this, ${\beta}$-glucuronidase from snail juice crude enzyme reveals synergistic effect on liposomal Amp. B and free Amp. B. We also obtained positively raised antibiotic effect, when enzyme which is coupled with palmitic acid using NHSP inserted into liposome bilayer From these results, we suppose that the use of liposomal system in the case of Amp. B shows increasing antibiotic effect and dramatically lowered toxicity, thus, we think that we can solve the problem of Amp. B toxicity, which cause hesitate of clinical use.

DNA uptake in dry embryos of rice by DNA imbibition was detected by monitoring the expression of chimeric vectors. The selective markers of expression vectors used were ${\beta}-glucuronidase$ ronidase (GUS) and hygromycin phosphotransferase (HPT) genes under the control of CaMV35 S promoter. Frequency of transient expression of the foreign gene was generally 30-50% varying according to the types of vectors and rice cultivars. Dot blot analysis and DNA sequence analysis of inverse polymerase chain reaction products showed that selected rice in hygromycin B (HmB) medium had HPT gene and CaMV35S promoter DNA sequence in genomic DNA of rice. To investigate what ratio of rice having two marker genes simultaneously as rice embryos imbibed the vector DNA having two HPT and GUS gene, transform ants selected in lImB medium were subjected to PCR for GUS gene. It was shown that about 90 percentage of surviving ones in HmB medium had GUS gene.S gene.

We examined various enzyme activity changes by intraperitoneal injection uranium in the carp liver. These enzyme activity changes can be used as biochemical indicators of internal exposure to uranium. The results were followings ; 1) Total protein concentration decreased by intraperitoneal injection in the carp liver. 2) Lysosomal acid pretense and ${\beta}-glucuronidase$ activities increased in the liver until sixth intraperitoneal injection of uranium, but Lysosomal acid phosphatase activities decreased in the liver until the sixth injection of uranium. 3) Alkaline phosphatase activities sharply increased and Glutamate oxaloacetate Transaminase activities steadily decreased in the liver until the sixth injection of uranium. 4) Creatine %kinase activities steadily decreased and malate dehydrogenase activities sharply decreased in the liver after the primary injection of uranium. Any malate dehydrogenase activities was not detected after sixth injection of uranium.

Improved methods for the isolation and purification of conidial protoplast were investigated and conidial proplast from auxotrophic mutants were fused. The reaction time for isolation of protoplasts from the swollen condiospores preincubated in liquid minimal medium supplimented with 2-deoxy-D-glucose was shorten by reaction with mixture of 2% driselase and 2% ${\beta}-glucuronidase$ (1:1). The conidial protoplast could be highly purified by using 5% Ficoll 400 as a centrifugation medium. Nucleus of the conidial protoplast was stained with Giemsa stain and the conidial protoplast had one nucleus. It was also confirmed that the conidial protoplast was true protoplast with no cell wall remnant at the outside of plasma menbrane. Fusion frequencies of the conidial protoplast from auxotrophic mutants ranged from $3.4{\times}10^{-1}\;to\;4.9{\times}10^{-1}$. These values were higher than those of mycelial protoplast by a factor of 5 to 28.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the bifidogenic effect and a-glucosidase inhibitory effect of artificially cultured Phellinus linteus. The water extract of P. linteus promoted the growth of Bifidobacterium breve as well as the decrease of final pH in the media culturing intestinal bacteria. The growth of lactic acid bacteria inhibited effectively the bacterial enzymes, ${\beta}-glucosidase,\;{\beta}-glucuronidase$ and tryptophanase, of intestinal bactetria. The water extract of P. linteus inhibited maltase, sucrase and ${\alpha}-amylase$ of rat intestine.

Based on information about the major microbial composition of kimchi and its relation to the taste, Leuconostoc mesenteroides K2M5 and Lactobacillus sakei K5M3 were selected as kimchi starter candidates. These two strains were found to be safe for industrial use because they showed neither harmful characteristics like ${\beta}$-hemolysis, ammonia and indole formation, and gelatin liquefaction, nor enzymatic activities like phenylalanine deaminase, ${\beta}$-glucuronidase, ${\beta}$-glucosidase, 7${\alpha}$-dehydroxylase and nitroreductase. Starter kimchi made with these strains were better in taste than the conventional kimchi when they are evaluated both by laboratory personnel and the public. Also microbial analysis of starter kimchi showed only starter bacteria after they were fermented to have the optimum acidity. Starter kimchi prepared with these two strains were not much different in physicochemical properties to the conventional kimchi except in that the starter kimchi were much higher in volatile organic acid content such as lactic acid. These results suggest that kimchi quality can be controlled to have consistent properties, both in taste and microbial composition, by using bacterial starters.

As the growth factor of lactic acid bacteria, LD (trehalose) was isolated from Lentinus edode5 by using silica gel column chromatography. LD induced the growth of Bifidobacteria breve and Lactobacillus brevis, which were isolated from human feces. LD selectively induced the growth of lactic acid bacteria among total microflora. When total intestinal microflora were cultured in the medium containing LD, it stimulated the growth of lactic acid bacteria and inhibited harmful enzymes, ${\beta}$-glucosidase, ${\beta}$-glucuronidase, and tryptophanase, of intestinal bacteria. LM, which was a monosaccharide from L. edooles, induced the growth of lactic acid bacteria but it seems to be invaluable in vivo. LH isolated from L. edodes by Sephadex G-100 column chromatography was not effective for the growth of lactic acid bacteria.

Bacillus P-92 which fermented antler was isolated from intestinal bacteria. The biological activites, carbon clearance and growth activity of lactic acid bacteria, of fermented antler was better than those of untreated antler. The enyzmes activities, ${\beta}-glucosidase,\;{\beta}-glucuronidase$ and tryptophanase, of intestinal bacteria of mice treated with fermented antler were lower than those of mice treated with untreated antler, although those of mice treated with fermented antler or untreated antler were higher than those of control. Biological activity of the antler seems to be increased by fermentation.
