  • Heterotrophic activity, total bacteria and salinity were determined seasonally in the estuary of Naktong River over half tidal cycle. Heterotrophic activity was determined by the uptake of [U- $^{14}$ C]glucose. Heterotrophic activity fluctuated with the tides and was decreased as salinity increased. Teh great activity occurred near low ebb tide at all seasons except summer. The main environmental factor affecting hetreotrophic activity was the salinity rather than water temperature in the estuary of Naktong River. In order to estimate the effect of salt, salt was added to estuarine water. Vmax for glucose of salt-added water was 17% and 77% of original estuarine water at station 1 and 2 respectively and slight increase was observed at station 3. Respiration rate and Kt+Sn for glucose of salt-added sample increased at all 3 stations. The increase of the Kt value implies the reduced affinity of bacterial population for glucose. The effects of salinity on the heterotrophic activity were more extensive in the upper region of estuary than at the mouth.

  • The structural and functional roles of IGS element of T4 td intron in thymidylate synthase activity in vivo were investigated Site-directed mutagenesis was employed to crete mutations of IGS element of T4 td intron, When a U-G pari was changed to a U-C pari in the 5' splice site of P1 stem of td intron, the activity of thymidylate synthase was completely abolished whereas the wild type retained the normal activity of enzyme. When U at 12 position within IGS element was changed to C, the activity of thymidylate synthase was approximately 32% of that of the wild type. Comparison of enzyme activities suggests that IGS element within P1 structure is an essential requirement for splicing of td gene in vivo.

  • Phosphatase activity was measured with other environmental factors in Cheonho reservoir in 1994. It ranged form 95 to 1,685 nM/1/h and was correlated significantly with chlorophyll-a. Such a close relation well matched the fact that over 90% of phosphatase activity was detected in > 3 $\mu\textrm{m}$ fraction. The phosphatase activity also correlated negatively with dissolved inorganic phosphate concentration, which implies derepression of phosphatase production by phosphate limitation. Significant correlation was analyzed between phosphatase activity and BOD, which also appeared to be closely correlated with chlorophyll-a. A great percentage of organic materials seems to be generated autochthonously by algae and extracellular enzyme even though allochthonous influence was thought to be stronger in Cheonho reservoir.

  • PRDI DNA polymerase is the smallest member of the family B DNA polymerase (Jung et al., 1987). This DNA polyerase is specified by bacteriophage PRDI which infects a wide variety of gram-negative bacteria(Mindich and Bamford, 1988). Because PRDI is highly amenable to genetic and biochemical manipulation, it is a convenient model system with which to study structure-function relationships of DNA polymerase molecules. To determine the functional roles of the highly conserved regions of the family B DNA polymerases, we have initiated site-directed mutagenesis with PRD1 DNA polymerase, and our results show that mutations at the conserved regions within PRD1 DNA polymerase inactivate polymerase complementing activity and catalytic activity.

  • The competence time of Streptomyces viridochromogenes for aerial mycelium formation was determined. Within 10 hrs after spore inoculation the submerged mycelium was programed to form aerial mycelium, when the former was laid on agar plate. The white aerial mycelium was formed 17-22 hrs after the transfer. Ascorbic acid oxidizing enzyme band on native gel showed chracteristic mobility change during aerial mycelium formation. Total activity of this enzyme did not show any correlation with the differentiation. The asay condition for the crude enzyme was determined. EDTA and $FeCl_{2}$ showed stimulatory effect. Approximate ratio of oxygen consumed to ascorbic acid oxidized was 1:1.

  • Cellobiase ($\beta$-glucosidase) is an enzyme of the cellulase system in cellulolytic microor-ganisms. The chromosomal DNA fragment which include cellobiase gene of Cellulomonas biazotea was cloned in Eschericia coli via plasmid pBR 322 vector. Restriction enzyme Sal I was used to obtain adequate size of fragments from C. biazotea. chromosomal DNA. The transformant of E. coli HB101 with recombinant plasmid pBG101 showed cellobiase activity, which is not ordinary in E. coli HB101. The enzyme activity of the transformant was as of 20% lower than that of C. biazotea.

  • A restriction endonuclease, Kpn I has been isolated from Klebsiella pneumonia. Cells were broken by sonication. After ultracentrifugation the supernatant containing Kpn I activity was further purified by Sepharose-6B gel filtration, DEAD-Cellulose, Heparin-Agarose, and Aminohexyl-Agarose column chromatography. Final enzyme preparation was essentially free of contamination exonuclease and phosphatase, as judged by ligation-recut test. Total activity of the enzyme recovered from 10 grams of cells was $4.7\times 10^5$ units.

  • 흑두로 제조한 청국으로부터 혈전용해력이 우수한 균을 선발하여 동정하였으며, 그를 Bacillus subtilis BB-1로 명명하였다. 이 균은 혈전용해효소 isozyme을 적어도 5개이상 생성하는 균주로 확인되었다. 이 균으로부터 크로모좀을 분리하여 shot gun법으로 혈전용해효소 유전자를 크로닝하였으며, 이 유전자를 BSF-1이라 명명하였다. 이 유전자는 714개의 아미노산을 암호화하고 있으며 기존에 밝혀진 혈전용해효소 유전자와 상동성은 검출되지 않은 새로운 혈전용해효소 유전자였다. 혈전용해효소활성 최적 pH 및 온도는 5.0과 $35^{\circ}C$였다. 기질특이성은 적혈구 배지 또는 skim milk, gelatin등에 전혀 분해활성이 없었다. 이는 혈전만을 특이적으로 분해하는 기질특이성을 보였으며, 혈전분해효소로서의 이용가능성이 충분한 것으로 판단된다.
