To investigate the mutant induction of wild ginseng culture extract, we performed chromosomal aberration assay with chinese hamster lung cell in vitro. The test concentration of the extract was decided for the standard with the 50% suppression of cell propagation in the cell. The concentrations for the chromosome test were 1,250, 2,500 and 5,000 ㎍/ml with metabolic activation (+S, 6 hours treatment), 1,100, 2,200 and 4,400 ㎍/ml without metabolic activation (-S, 6 hours treatment) 800, 1,600 and 3,200 ㎍/ml without metabolic activation (-S, 24 hours treatment). No significant increase in chromosome aberrations was observed at any of these concentrations both in the absence and presence of metabolic activation system. Cyclophosphamide monohydrate (CPA) and ethylmethanesulfonate (EMS) caused a significant increase in chromosome aberration. These results may be concluded that wild ginseng culture extract is not capable of inducing chromosome aberration in cultured chinese hamster lung cell regardless of metabolic activation and genotoxicity of that is negative under the present experimental condition.

Objectives : We investigated genetic toxicity of HMCO5 in relation to chromosome aberration test on Cultured Chinese Hamster Lung (CHL) in the presence and absence of S-9 mix. Methods : Experimental groups were divided into two groups: with S-9mix (+S) or without S-9 mix (-S). -S group was also divided 2 series by treatment hours (6 hr: 6-S; or 24 hr; 24-S). Each group treated with vehicle only (complete culture medium), HMCO5 (1,250, 2,500, $5,000\;{\mu}g/ml$), and cyclophosphamide monohydrate (CPA) and ethylmethanesulfonate (EMS), respectively. Results : HMC05 did not show any aberrant metaphase. However, there were significant (p < 0.01) aberrant metaphases with CPA in S+ and with EMS in S-. Conclusions : These results indicate that HMC05 formula does not show any toxicity in chromosome aberration test.

단백질 식품의 가공에 이용할 수 있는 역가 높은 단백질분해효소를 개발하기 위하여 누룩, 메주, 어류, 젓갈 및 토양 등의 시료 중에서 활성이 높은 단백질분해효소의 생산 균주로 A. oryzae O-1균을 분리 동정하였다. A. oryzae O-1을 UV조사(20W, 15cm, 90초)하여 활성이 높은 단백질분해효소 생산균주, A. oryzae U-1을 선발하였고, 다시 A. oryzae U-1포자를 0.5M EMS용액에 처리 (3$0^{\circ}C$, 6분간)하여 보다 활성이 높은 A. oryzae E-1을 선별하였다 다음에 이 A. oryzae E-1과 A. oryzae O-1의 원형질체 융합체 중 단백질분해효소 생산능이 가장 강한 변이균주 A. oryzae PF를 분리하였다. 각 단계별 생산효소의 활성은 azocasein기질에 대하여 A. oryzae O-1이 0.23 U/$m\ell$, A. oryzae U-1은 3.29 U/$m\ell$, A. oryzae E-l은 8.91 U/$m\ell$, 그리고 최종 변이단계를 거친 A. oryzae PF는 19.0 U/$m\ell$로서 최초의 선별균주 A. oryzae O-1에 비하여 그 활성이 약 82배까지 증가하였다.
