Of actinomycetes isolated from volcanic compost soils, 115 representative strains which showed distinctive morphologicla features were numerically classified, compared with reference strains of Streptomyces. One hundred and twenty unit characters were tested and the average probability of error was 4.27%. The cluster analysis resulted in two groups: group A included strains of actinomycetes except streptomycetes. Group A was divided into 2 major clusters (over 5 strains), 10-diaminopimelic acid. Group B was divided into 5 clusters, of which 4 clusters contained mesodiminopimelic acid and 1 cluster LL-diaminopimelic acid. The major clusters of group A showed higher abilities of substrate utilization and degradation, and higher resistance to inhibitors, whereas the minor and single member clusters of group A showed relatively higher antimicrobial activities. On the other hand, all clusters of group B showed relatively lower abilities of substrate utilization and degradation and lower resistance to inhibitors.

토양으로부터 세포의 adcnosinedeaminase를 생산하는 두종의 방선균 J-845S주와 J-326TK 주름 분리하여 각각 Streptomycs sp. J-845S와 Nocardioides sp. J326TK로 동정하였다. Streptomyces sp. J-845S는 그람염색 양성, 비항산성균으로 기균사의 흰색계열의 간상형의 비운동성의 포자를 형성하였으며, 포자의 표면은 평할하였고 나선상의 포자연쇄를 형성하였다. 균사체의 분자는 양호하였다. 세포벽 구성성분을 분석한 결과 LL-diaminopimelic acid를 함유하는 cell wall type I 이었으며, phospholipid type II였다. Nocardioides sp. J-326TK는 그람염색반응 양성, 항산성염색반응 음성이었으며, 균사체는 불규칙한 간상 또는 구사으이 절편으로 분절되었다. 기균사의 분자는 그다지 인정되지 않았으며, 포자형태의 긴 elements의 표면은 평할하였다. 세포벽 구성성분을 검토한 결과 cell wall type I과 phospholipid type I으로나타났다.

A cytotoxic material was produced by strain No. 5-99 which was isolated from soil. Analyzing the cell wall components, LL-diaminopimelic acid was identified. From the existance of glycine in the cell wall, this strain was identified to Streptomyces sp. which has cell wall chemotype I and peptidoglycan type A3 connected by glycine. So, we named this strain to Streptomyces sp. YJB-599. The Active material was purified through solvent extraction, silica gel column chromatography and crystallized to needle-shaped white -crystal. Analyzing the structure of this crytal by instrumental analysis and database, it was determined to genistein.

A recent genetic study with Brucella abortus revealed the secretion activator gene A (SagA) as an autolysin component creating pores in the peptidoglycan (PGN) layer for the type IV secretion system (T4SS) and peptidoglycan hydrolase inhibitor A (PhiA) as an inhibitor of SagA. In this study, we determined the crystal structures of both SagA and PhiA. Notably, the SagA structure contained a PGN fragment in a space between the N- and C-terminal domains, showing the substrate-dependent hinge motion of the domains. The purified SagA fully hydrolyzed the meso-diaminopimelic acid (DAP)-type PGN, showing a higher activity than hen egg-white lysozyme. The PhiA protein exhibiting tetrameric assembly failed to inhibit SagA activity in our experiments. Our findings provide implications for the molecular basis of the SagA-PhiA system of B. abortus. The development of inhibitors of SagA would further contribute to controlling brucellosis by attenuating the function of T4SS, the major virulence factor of Brucella.

Using the alkalophillic Bacillus sp. SH-8 and its mutant Bacillus sp. SH-8M capable of growing at the neutral pH, the amino acid compositions of the cell wall and cell membrane were studied at varying cultivation pH's. The pattem of protein electrophoresis was also tested. It was elucidated that the amino acids consisting of the cell wall were alanine, glutamic acid, lysine, aspartic acid, and meso-diaminopimelic acid. There was not any significant difference in the amino acid compositqon betweeo`two straqns regardless of the culture pH. As the results of HPLC ssay, glutamic acid and aspartic aciu accounted for more than 50% in the amqno acid composytqon of the cell wall. By the isolatqon of the crude cell membrane and the SDS-PAGE analysis, it was found that there was a considerable difference qn the protein pattern when the straqns were cultured at the neutral pH. In addition, by the two dimensional gel electrophoresis, it was confirmed that there was a difference in the protein patterns between two strains cultivated at the neutral pH medium but no difference at the alkaline medium.

Amino acid (AA) substituted diets had no influence on rumen levels of total volatile fatty acids (VFA), ammonia and ${\alpha}$-amino-N, but tended to increase molar proportions of isovalerate and counts of total viable AA utilizing and celluloytic bacteria in the rumen as compared with the control urea diet. The AA diets did not affect daily flow to the duodenum of dry matter (DM), organic mater (OM) and acid detergent fibre (ADF), and rumen digestibility of these nutrients. However, the AA diets, in particular the 10 essential AA (EAA) diet improved total digestibility of DM, OM and ADF by decreasing faecal output of these fractions. Although N flow to the duodenum and N retention were not affected with the dietary treatments, duodenal bacterial flow appeared to increase by the AA diets when it was estimated by means of 2,6-diaminopimelic acid (DAP) and nucleic acid-purine bases (PB) as markers. The results suggest that AA supplements to a urea diet could improve feed utilization by stimulating microbial activity and proliferation in the rumen but and increased microbial activity per se is not necessarily associated with improvement of feed conversion.

The strain BY-445 which produces new inhihitors of ${\alpha}$-amylase was isolated from a soil sample and identified. The aerial hyphae of this strain develope in the from of open spirals. The spore chain of BY-445 strain appears in spiral shape with spiny surface. Melanoid and soulble pigments were not observed. Gelatin was liquefied, and skin milk and starch was also hydrolyzed. The isolate contained LL-diaminopimelic acid in its cell wall hydrolysate. The content of fatty acid 16:iso, 15:0 anteiso and 16:0 was 25:30, 16.19 and 13.16%, respectively. BY-445 strain was closely related to Streptomyces violaceusinger but it was different from this strain in some cultural and physiological characteristics. This strain was, therefore, designated as Streptomyces sp. BY 445.

Sphingomyelinase (SMase EC:3.l.4.l2) has been suggested to play important roles in the cell cycle, differentiation, apoptosis, inflammation, and the regulation of eukaryotic stress responses. SMase inhibitors may be a powerful tool to elucidate and regulate these cellular responses in which SMase involves. We first isolated an SMase inhibitor, named sphinin, from a strain of soil actinomycetes, F50970. Sphinin inhibited Mg/sup 2+/ -dependent neutral SMase from chicken embryo at 1.2 ㎍/㎖ of IC/sub 50/ Sphinin also inhibited acidic SMase, but it had no inhibitory activity on PI-PLC and PC-PLC, suggesting that sphinin is a specific inhibitor of SMase. The strain F50970 was identified as a Streptomyces sp. by its spiral spore chain, LL-diaminopimelic acid, menaquinone patterns of MK-9 (H'6) and MK-9 (H'8), FA-2c type of fatty acid pattern, and other morphological, physiological, and cultural characteristics.
