The database of metabolic fingerprints generated using the GIolog system of lactic acid bacteria isolated from kimchi, described by Lee et al. (8), was used for the identification of 75 Leuconostoc isolates. The test strains were isoalted using a selective isolation medium specific for the genus Leuconostoc and examined for their ability to oxidize carbon sources using the Biolog system. The results show that the 75 test strains were identified to the known Leuconostoce clusters. It is suggested that the Biolog system can be applied for rapid identification of lactic acid bacteria isolated from kimchi.

Volatile compounds in Pinus densiflora were extracted with Likens-Nickerson apparatus for three hours, and were separated and identified by gas chromatography(GC) and mass selective detector(MSD). Twenty six compounds were isolated from Pinus densiflora, identified by GC-MSD and twelve compounds were confirmed by matching retention times of the pure comounds. The main valatile compounds were terpenoids such as limonene(36.2%), $\beta$-pinene(16.9%), $\beta$-myrcene(12.6%) and $\alpha$-pinene(10.9%), and the total amount of these main compounds was 367.9$\mu\textrm{g}$ per 1g of pine twigs.

The influence of LB20304a, a new fluoroquinolone antibiotic agent, on microflora of caecum in mice was compared with those of ciprofloxacin and piperacillin after administration of drugs for 5 days. Selective medium (CCFMA) was used for the isolation of Clostridium difficile from the specimens of mouse caecum. The emergence of C. difficile in mouse caecum induced by LB20304a was lower than that by ciprofloxacin or piperacillin at day 1 and day 7 after completing administration of drugs.

The selective isolation of specific proteins from complex protein mixtures by nanoparticles is reported. Glutathionemodified superparamagnetic nanoparticles were used to purify specific proteins fused with glutathione S-transferase via enzyme-substrate interactions. They demonstrated greatly improved selectivity and efficiency over micron sized capturing beads. The ultra-specific enrichment of target proteins was confirmed by both SDS-PAGE and LC/MS/MS experiments.

Ixeris dentata Nakai (Compositae) is a perennial herb which has been used as a folk medicine for treating diabetes and gastroenteric troubles in Korea. Active compounds were isolated from the aerial parts of Ixeris dentata through the bioassay-guided fractionation and isolation method evaluated for inhibition of monoamine oxidase (MAO) in vitro. The compounds were identified as 5,7,3',4'-tetrahydroxyflavone (1) and 5,7,3',4'- tetrahydroxyflavone 7-glucoside (2), based on physical and spectroscopic characteristics. Compounds 1 and 2 showed a selective inhibition of type B MAO (MAO-B) activity, with IC/sub 50/ values of 15.3 μM and 36.4 μM, respectively, but did not inhibit type A MAO (MAO-A) activity.

To determine the occurrence of vancomycin-resistant Enterococci in a raw milk sample, raw milk samples were examined for a period of 6 months. Enterococci were isolated directly from Enterococcal selective agar plates supplemented with 2 mg of vancomycin per liter, Nineteen strains were selected and identified by applying the Vitek system. To determine resistance patterns, 19 isolates were tested with vancomycin and teicoplanin. Vancomycin-resistant Enterococci were genotyped by using a PCR analysis and 5 out of 19 isolates were of the VanC type.

In order to obtain Ti plasmid which may be used in genetic engineering of higher plants, virulent Agrobacterium tumefaciens were isolated from soil with selective medium. For their identification, morphological and cultural characteristics were investigated in parallel with physiological and turnorigenesis test. 14 strains were isolated from various regions in Korea. 3 of them were identified as biotype 1 and the others were so heterogeneous that they are not yet conformed to any biotypes. However, Ti plasmid was isolated from A. tumefaciens KU 14 strain, one of the above mentioned 14 strains.

An improved method for the selective isolation of high-yielding mutant strains for the production of antifungal antibiotic KRF-001 was investigated. The mutant strain U. V 4, which produces high titer of KRF-001, was selected on the high potency agar plate after ultraviolet light irradiation. The U. V 4 strain produced 2-fold more KRF-001 than the mother strain in production media. Large scale fermentation was performed using the U. V 4 strain in 100$\ell$ fermenter. The antifungal antibiotic KRF-001 secreted into culture broth was detected by HPLC in 24hrs of fermentation.

Abstract - The Evodiae Fructus is known for containing a number of indolquinazoline and quinoline type alkaloids. Evodiamine, evocarpine and rutaecarpine are the major constituents of alkaloids. These alkaloids were isolated and determined by forming complex compounds from Evodiae Fructus in O-Su-You-Tang. For the determination of these alkaloids, a new spectrophotometric method was developed with a simple and selective sample clean-up using thiocyanatocobaltate[II] compIεx compound ion. The absorbance of alkaloidal complex compounds in 1,2-dichloroethane solution was measured at 625 nm. The method proved to be rapid, simple and reliable for the isolation and the determination of the alkaloids in O-Su-You-Tang.

Selective oxidation of cyclohexane in acetone solution has been studied using iron catalysts with hydrogen peroxide in-situ produced by palladium catalyst. Iron tetraphenylporphyrin chloride shows the highest activity among the tested chlorides and porphyrin complexes of some metals of the first transiton series. Iron chloride and iron tetraphenylporphyrin chloride were supported on four kinds of 4-vinylpyridine copolymer with styrene or divinyl-benzene. Nitrogen 1s photoelectron spectra give the evidence that pyridyl nitrogens of the 4-vinyl pyridine copolymer act as ligands to bind iron species. The copolymer with styrene is the most efficient support for the binding because its solubility in catalyst preparation solvent (methylene chloride) gives the pyridyl group advantage to contact with the iron catalysts. However, better catalytic activity per iron atom could be obtained with a rigid crosslinked polymer due to active site isolation.
