A plasmid vector, pXGPRMATG-lac-Tgx, was developed for overproduction of $\beta$-galactosidase in Escherichia coli using the genetic components of groEx, a heat-shock gene cloned from symbiotic X-bacteria in Amoeba proteus. The vector is composed of intragenic promoters P3 and P4 of groEx, the structural gene of lac operon, transcription tenninator signals of lac and groEx, and ColEl and amp'of pBluescript SKII. The optimized host, E. coli DH5$\alpha$, transfonned with the vector constitutively produced 117,310-171,961 Miller units of $\beta$-galactosidase per mg protein in crude extract. The amount of enzyme in crude extract was 53% of total water-soluble proteins. About 43% of the enzyme could be purified to a specific activity of 322,249 Miller units/mg protein after two-fold purification, using two cycles of precipitation with ammonium sulfate and one step of gel filtration. Thus, the expression system developed in this study presents a low-cost and simple method for purifying overproduced $\beta$-galactosidase in E. coli.

Twenty six urea analogues, most of which have already been approved for human use, were tested for their antiurease activity in vitro. Cell-free extracts obtained from a clinical isolate of Proteus mirabilis was used as the source of enzyme. Acetohydroxamic acid which is a proven potent urease inhibitor but not approved for human use was again shown to be the most active compound among the tested. Phenacemide, cycloserine, and deferoxamine were demonstrated to be moderate inhibitors. Oxtetracycline, trimethoprim, and cefamandole revealed a demonstrable antiruease activity, but only at very high concentrations. The antiurease activity of cycloserine, trimethoprim, and cefamandole was pH dependent-only active at acidic pH. The inhibitory activity of acetohydroxamic acid however was independent of change in pH. The inhibitory activity of acetohydroxamic acid however was independent of change in pH. Hydrogen ion concentration plays an important role in urease activity and acidification (pH 5. 5) alone eliminates approximately 65% of the enzymic activity. Adjustment of pH therefore appears to be an important adjunct in reducing unrease activity and should always be studied to maximize the effcacy of antiurease compounds under investigation.

Seventy-nine strains of Enterobacteriaceae isolated from 117 slaughtered pigs (bile, urine, small intestine, cecum and rectum) in 1995 were examined for biotypes and susceptibility to 19 antibiotics with MicroScan WalkAway 40/96. The obtained results were as follows : 1. Among the twenty-two species isolated from the samples, Proteus mirabilis, E. coli and Enterobacter cloacae were commonly encountered. 2. The distribution frequency of isolates from cecum, small intestine, rectum, bile, and urine was 31(38.8%), 25(31.3%), 18(22.8%), 3(3.7% ), and 2(2.5% ), respectively. 3. A majority of isolates were sensitive to 16 antibiotics, singly or in combination. And these isolates were commonly susceptible to various antibiotics such as Cp, Ts, Azt, Caz, To, Gm, Cfz, Crm, Am and Cfx, in order. Whereas the Salmonella spp was susceptible to Cf, Ti and Pi, and Proteus mirabilis to Imp, Tim, Cft and Cz. Meanwhile, no effect was found to Cf, Ak and Cax. 4. Among the antibiotic resistant strains, a total of 17 reistant patterns was noted End of these Ak Tim 45(57.0%), Ak Am Cf Cfx Cfz Tim 8(10.1%) and Ak Ti Tim 6(7.6% ) were frequently encountered.

DA-1131은 Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Enterobacter cloacae, Proteus mirabilis, Proteus vulgaris 및 Pseudomonas aeruginosa 의 시험균주에 대하여 1-4의 MBC/MIC 비를 나타내었으며, 약물첨가에 의한 세균증식억제 과도 매우 우수하였으므로 광범위의 강력한 살균력을 나타내는 것으로 확인되었다. DA-1131의 PAE는 S. aureus Smith에 대하여는 1.28시간, K. pneumoniae 1에 대하여는 0.65시간, P. aeruginosa 93에 대하여는 1.90시간으로 나타나, MIC 이하의 낮은 농도에서도 세균에 대한 생육저해 효과가 관찰되었으며, 이러한 현상은 E. coli K-12에 DA-1131을 1/4 MIC(0.0125 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$) 농도로 작용시켰을 때 균의 팽화와 신장 및 구형화가 동시에 일어나는 등 균형태변화를 초래하는 효과와 큰 상관성을 나타내었다. 또한, DA-1131은 감염방어효 에 매우 큰 영향을 끼치는 mouse macrophage와 매우 우수한 협력적살균작용을 나타내어 E. coli K-12 생세포는 1/16 MIC 이상의 DA-1131 공존하에서 쉽게 식균소화(phagocytosis) 되었다.

Objectives: The objective of this study is to identify the composition of dominant microorganisms in waste handling industries. Methods: We collected airborne bacteria and fungi by agar plate impaction method in recyclable waste sorting industry, food recycling industry, landfill and incineration. Isolated dominant microorganisms were identified by VITEK system or morphological analysis. Results: We isolated totally 330 microorganisms in the process and outdoor. Bacillus was the most dominant genus in the all industries, and Sphingomonas, Acinetobacter, Staphylococcus, and Proteus was dominant bacterial genus. The dominant genus of fungi was Penicillium, Aspergillus, and Cladosporium in each industries. Enterobacter, Pseudomonas, Klebsiella, and Proteus was identified as the dominant gram negative bacteria. The ratio of bacteria being biosafety levels(class 1 or 2) was 58.3~77.8%. Conclusions: This study has investigated the dominant microorganisms in the waste handling industries. The genus of dominant microorganisms was similar among the industries but the composition was different. We used biosafety levels as qualitative method, but further studies are needed about specific process of qualitative evaluation methods.

During March to October 1973 at National Medical Center, one thousand four hundred sixty four pathogens that exclude penicillin sensitive organisms such as gonococcus, pneumococcus, streptococcus; ampicillin sensitive H. influenzae and gentamicin sensitive pseudomonas spp, were isolated. These strains identified as follows: Sta. aureus 399 E. coli 359 Sta. epidermidis 183 Klebsiella spp 171 Proteus spp 103 B. anitratum 80 Salmonella spp 68 Enterococcus 53 Shigella spp 48 In general, Sta. epidermidis is regarded as nonpathogen, however, author included pure culture of this bacteria in this study. 1. High susceptibility to staphylococcus reveals cephalosporin, methicillin, gentamicin & leucomycin. 2. Ampicillin is only one susceptible antibiotic to Enterococcus. 3. Cephalosporin and gentamicin reveal susceptible antibiotics to E. coli. 4. Gentamicin is only one susceptible antibiotic to Klebsiella spp. 5. Gentamicin & carbenicillin reveal moderately susceptible antibiotics to Proteus spp. 6. There is no susceptible antibiotic to B. anitratum. 7. About thirty percent strains of salmonella are resistant to chloramphenicol. 8. Carbenicillin, cephalosporin & gentamicin reveal susceptible to shigella spp. 9. Multiple resistant rate to more than two antibiotics which includes tetracycline are as follows. Sta. aureus 56.5% E. coli. 80.9% Shigella spp 93.8%

A number of bacterial species produce extracellular lipases. Among them, many lipase genes have been cloned and sequenced. A comparison of primary sequences revealed only very limited sequence homology among them. Based on the sequence homologies and molecular sizes (Mr), bacterial lipases were classified into four discrete groups. From soil samples taken around Taejon, five different lipase-producing bacteria were isolated; Proteus vulgaris K80, Bacillus stearothermophilus Ll, B. pumilus B26, Staphylococcus haemolyticus L62, S. aureus B56. Nucleotide sequence analysis showed that Staphylococcus lipase genes (L62 and B56) composed of pre-pro-mature parts, Bacillus lipase genes (Ll and B26) pre-mature parts, and Proteus lipase gene (K80) mature part only. In addition, the molecular sizes of their mature parts were quite different from 19,000 to 45,000. Finally, they had very little homology (less than 20％) in their amino acid sequences. Judging from the above results, lipase K80 belonged to bacterial lipase Group I, lipase L1 and lipase B26 Group III, and lipase L62 and lipase B56 Group IV. This diversity in their primary structures was also reflected in their enzymatic properties; temperature effects, pH effects, substrate specificity, detergent effects, and so on.

삼투압 환경에서 D-alaninepeptidase가 세균의 생존에 미치는 영향을 D-alaninepeptidase에 노출시킨 세균의 생존율로 살려본 바, 균을 D-alaninepeptidase와 삼투압에 동시에 노출시켰을 때, 균의 생존율이 대조군에 비하여 현저히 감소되었는데, 그람 양성 구균보다 그람 음성 간균의 생존감소율이 더욱 컸다. D-Alaninepeptidase와 높은 삼투압 환경에 노출시킨 균의 경우, 삼투압에만 노출시킨 대조군에 비하여 균체의 와해 또는 손상을 받은 비정형적 균의 수가 많이 증가했음을 주사전자현미경으로 관찰하였다. D-Alaninepeptidase와 항생제에 동시에 노출시킨 세균들(항생제 내성 균주 포함)의 항생제(gentamycin, vancomycin, kanamycin)에 대한 감수성을 원판확산법으로 살펴본바 D-alaninepeptidase에 노출시킨 세균들의 항생제 감수성이 증가하는 추세였는데 Proteus vulgaris 균주들의 vancomycin에 대한 감수성 증가는 괄목할 만하였다. 따라서 D-alaninepeptidase에 의하여 세균벽이 취약해져 삼투압이나 항생제 같은 외적 환경에 균이 민감해지는 것으로 사료된다.
