Wheat straw samples (3-4 cm) were sprayed with solutions of urea (U) alone or with a dry addition of garden soil (GS), midden soil (MS), soya bean meal (SM) or jack bean meal (JM) as crude urease sources and with a pure urease (UR) enzyme. Each of the urease sources was included at two levels: 30 and 60 g/kg except pure urease, which was added at a level of 2.5 & 5.0 g/kg treated straw dry matter. Untreated straw without urease source was used as a control. After treatment, samples were sealed in polythene bags and stored for 2, 7, 14, 21 and 35 days at $19{^{\circ}C}$. The urease sources, their levels and treatment time produced significant effects on ammonia production (p<0.01). The addition of urease offered more flexibility in hydrolyzing urea in the shortest possible time. Incorporation of soya bean and jack bean meal was effective in reducing the modified acid detergent fiber (MADF) content of straw and the same time increasing organic matter (OM) digestibility. Overall effect, addition of soya bean to urea at a ratio of 1:1 appeared to be the most satisfactory urease source for the treatment of urea and wheat straw.

Mussel adhesive protein (MAP) was extracted from Korean Mytilus edulis and then partially purified using Sephacryl S-300 gel permeation chromatography and reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography. As an indicator of adhesiveness, is 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) content was determined. Its DOPA/protein ratio of 0.19 was higher than those of other reports, indicating a good adhesive. The partially purified MAP was confirmed by acid-urea polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis using cetylpiridinium bromide as a cationic detergent. Sea mussel hydrolysates were prepared using three commercial proteases to provide value-added functional materials and their angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activities were determined. Among hydrolysates of sea mussel, Protamex was the best and further purification would improved ACE inhibitory activity.

Exogenous $Cu^{2+}$ or $Zn^{2+}$ at micromolar concentration had a strong inhibitory effect on detergent-solubilized cytochrome c oxidase. A similar effect was observed when $Cu^{2+}$ was added to vesicular cytochrome c oxidase, although the extent of inhibition was significantly larger for the uncoupled state than for the coupled state. Interestingly, the inhibition by $Zn^{2+}$ was almost negligible for both the coupled and uncoupled states. These results suggest that the binding sites for $Cu^{2+}$ ions are exposed to the extravesicular side. whereas those for $Zn^{2+}$ are exposed to the matrix side. The EPR spectra of bound $Cu^{2+}$ ions at 77 K indicate that each of the first two $Cu^{2+}$ ions is ligated by three or four histidine residues, as evidenced by distinct $^{14}N$ superhyperfine splitting. These $Cu^{2+}$ ions can not be removed readily by EDTA and inhibit the enzyme activity by as much as 80%.

For the purpose of developing a new biodegradable detergent, we have isolated a gene encoding wide-range temperature applicable alkaline protease from Xanthomonas sp. YL-37 (Lee et al., 1994, Kor. J. Appl. Microbiol. Biotechnol.). An alkaline protease gene was isolated from the gene bank that was prepared from the chromosomal DNA of Xanthomonas sp. YL-37. From the results of agarose gel electrophoresis and a restriction enzyme mapping, a 2.7 kb DNA fragment containing the alkaline protease gene was inserted in the plasmid pUC9. Extracellular activity of a clone having alkaline protease gene was detected on SDS-polyacrylamide gel with activity staining assay. The molecular weight of alkaline protease was determined to be about 64 kDa from 11% SDS-PAGE analysis. Alkaline protease activity, produced from E. coli which harboring the plasmid, showed no difference at reaction temperature 20, 30 and 40$\circ$C, respectively. This result showed that alkaline protease produced from E. coli harboring the plasmid was apparently the same as that of Xanthomonas sp. YL-37.

We have studied the relation between Ca$^{2+}$-ATPase and trigger peptidase(TPase) which are membeane protein well known as their significant role for signal transduction of mating pheromone in heterobasidiomycetous yeast. Rhodosporidium toruloides. We found out that there were Ca $^{2+}$-ATPase and TPase together in isolated calmodulim binding protein(CBP), usion calmodulin affinity column chromatography after solubilization of mation type a cell membrane protein, and that the dependence of enzyme activity of both the enzymes on Ca$^{2+}$, phospholipid and nonionic detergent are similar. However, Ca$^{2+}$-ATPase hed quite absolute dependence on calmodulin and, on the other hand, TPase didn't have any dependence. Judging from the fact that there are both enzymes in CBP which the dependence of calmodulin are quite different, we found out that both enzymes were made to their compound and existed in mating type a cell membrane.

The effect of accumulated residual soils in wear and wash tests on yellowing of white dress shirt was studied. The test samples after repeated home laundry at 20 households for six months were measured residual soils, $\Delta$b*.As well as, correlation between residual soils and yellowing was also examined. As a result, residual soils increased with number of wear and wash cycles, a little decreased in using with enzyme detergent. The b* value of test samples with fluorescent whitening agent were distributed -12.850~0.291. Correlation coefficient between sebum soils, protein soils and $\Delta$b* was 0.98, 0.58. Ultimately, residual sebum soils have more higher correlation than residual protein soils. Hence, residual sebum soils have more effect on yellowing than residual protein soils. therefore, effective a device as improvement of laundry condition and textile development needs for decrease of sebum soils.

In order to study on the pigment formation of Serratia marcescens, the synthesis of prodigiosin was examined in the presence of a wide range of concentration of detergents. A high elevation of pigment formation was obtained in case of the treatment with SDC and SAP. And the population growth of the bacteria was increased by SDC and SAP, in the concentration of optimum concentration of pigment formation. The alkaline phosphatase activity was also increased in the treatment of SAP, SDC and SDS. The possible mechanism of the detergents on enhancement of pigment formation could be explained by an increase of enzyme activity and membrane transport.

A catalase from Micrococcus sp. isolated from soil was applied to degrade hydrogen Peroxide in wastewater from a semiconductor industry. The degradation rates of hydrogen peroxide increased with increasing reaction time and catalase concentrations in the reaction mixture. However, in the presence of aluminum chloride or chloride oxide used in detergent compounds, the degradation rate of hydrogen peroxide was not affected. Enzyme stabilizers and antifoam did not affect the degradation rates of hydrogen peroxide.

Abstract A facultative alkalophilic gram-negative Vibrio metschnikovii strain RH530, isolated from the wastewater, produced several alkaline proteases (VAP) including six alkaline serine proteases and a metalloprotease. From this strain, high yielding YAP mutants were isolated by NTG treatment. The isolated mutant KS1 showed nine times more activity than the wild-type after optimization of the culture media. The production was regulated by catabolite repression when glucose was added to the medium. The effects of several organic nitrogen sources on the production of the YAP were investigated to avoid catabolite repression. The combination of 4% wheat gluten meal (WGM), 1.5% cotton seed flour (eSF), and 5% soybean meal (SBM) resulted in the best production when supplemented with 1% NaCl. The YAP showed a resistance to surfactants such as $sodium-{\alpha}-olefin$ sulfonate (AOS), polyoxy ethylene oxide (POE), and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), yet not to linear alkylbenzene sulfonate (LAS). However, the activity of the YAP was restored completely when incubated with LAS in the presence of POE or $Na_2SO_4$. The YAP was stable in a liquid laundry detergent containing 6.6% SLES (sodium lauryl ether sulfate), 6.6% LAS, 19.8% POE, and stabilizing agents for more than two weeks at $40^{\circ}C$, but the stability was sharply decreased even after 1 day when incubated at $60^{\circ}C$. A washing performance test with the YAP exhibited it to be a good washing power by showing 51 % and 60% activity at $25^{\circ}C{\;}and{\;}40^{\circ}C$, respectively, thereby indicating that the YAP also has a good detergency at a low temperature. All the results suggest that the YAP produced from the mutant strain KSI has suitable properties for use in laundry detergents.rgents.
