The phototoxicity inhibitory activity of 15 natural products having antiinflammatory effect was screened by three in vitro methods: yeast growth inhibition test with Candida albicans, RBC photohemolysis and MTT assay. We induced phototoxic reaction by irradiating UVA (365 nm) on chlorpromazine (CPZ) that has been widely documented as phototoxic agent in clinical and experimental studies and then observed the effects of the natural products after treating them with CPZ. In yeast growth inhibition test, X. stramonium showed the inhibitory effect on the UVA phototoxicity and E. officinalis, Yeast, P. suffruticosa showed phototoxicity inhibitory effect in that their ％ hemolysis compared with control were 36.14${\pm}$ 2.69, 42.82${\pm}$1.35, 36.41${\pm}$0.48 on UVA. In MTT assay, all tested natural products increased cell viability compared with the control.

Effects of Ac pulse at low voltage on Saccharomyces cerevisiae were studied. The treatment of yeast suspensions contained 0.2m NaCl with 500mA for 350 sec at $40^{\circ}C$ was shown about 50% of lethality, whereas in the treatment of the same suspensions with 250mA for 250 sec at the temperature ($10^{\circ}C$) corresponding to about 10% of lethality, growth was completely inhibited instead of lethality. The effect of growth inhibition was due to occurrence of auxotrophic strains under experimental conditions. Detection of auxotrophic yeasts was done tentatively with the difference of the number of viable yeast cells between direct counting by methylene blue staining and plate-count on yeast morphology agar.

양식 산업의 문제점인 어병균을 방제하기 위한 생물 전구체의 개발을 목적으로 해산어의 내장 추출물에서 어병균인 Vibrio anguillarum의 생육을 저해하는 새로운 균주를 분리, 동정하여 Bacillus amyloliquefaciens H41으로 명명하고 생육특성 및 생육저해인자 생성 조건을 검토하였다. 분리 균의 생육 최적 조건은 기본배지로 1% peptone, 질소원으로 1.5% yeast extract, 탄소원으로 1% sucrose, 0.5% NaCl, 금속이온으로는 0.05% $MgSO_4{\cdot}7H_20$이었으며 pH는 7.0-8.0, 온도는 $28-35^{\circ}C$에서 20시간의 진탕배양이었다. V. anguillarum 생육 저해물질은 B. amyloliquefaciens H41의 배양 상등 액에서 볼 수 있었는데 paper-disk 법으로 투명환의 생성여부로 확인하였다. 분리 균에 의한 생육저해 물질 생산 최적 조건은 1% peptone, 1.5% yeast extract, 1% NaCl, 0.05% $MgSO_4{\cdot}7H_20$, 1%의 sucrose이었으며 최적 pH는 7.5, 최적온도는 $35^{\circ}C$이었다. 분리 균은 최적 배양조건하에서 저해물질을 배양 후 16시간부터 24시간대에 가장 높은 활성을 나타내었다. 저해 활성반응은 분리 균에서는 저해 활성을 나타내었으나 B. amyloliquefaciens KCTC1724 표준균주에는 저해활성을 나타나지 않는 대조를 보였다. 또한 분리 균에 의해 생산된 저해물질은 V. anguillarum 에는 생육 억제 효과를 나타내었으나 다른 인체 병원성 Vibrio에는 전혀 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타나 균주 선택성이 특이적이었다.

Two low-salt complex media, bactopeptone and desalted yeast extract, were used for high density cultivation of the hyperthermophilic archaeon Sulfolobus solfataricus (DSM 1617). Bactopeptone, which has low mineral ion content among various complex media, was good for cell growth in batch cultures; the maximal cell density in bactopeptone was comparable to that in yeast extract. However, cell growth was rather poor when bactopeptone was added by the fed-batch procedure. Since several vitamins are deficient in abctopeptone, the effect of vitamins on cell growth was examined. Among the vitamins tested, pyridoxine was found to improve the growth rate of S. solfataricus. To reduce the growth inhibition caused by mineral ions, yeast extract was dialyzed against distilled water and then fed-batch cultures were carried out using a fed medium containing desalted yeast extract. Although the concentrations of mineral ions in yeast extract were significantly lowered by the dialysis whether low molecular weight solutes in yest extract are crucial for cell growth, we investigated the effect of trehalose, a most abundant compatible solute in yeast extract, on the growth pattern. Cell densities were increased and the length of the lag phase was markedly shortened by the presence of trehalose, indicating that trehalose plays an important role in the growth of S. solfataricus.

A new approach to obtain broadly cross-reactive antisera against important yeast pathogens by intensive hyperimmunization with polysaccharide-protein conjugates is described here. Surface mannan of Candida albicans and capsular galactoglucoxylomannan of Cryptococcus laurentii were isolated and chemically linked to human serum albumin. Antisera elicited by a 7-week vigorous immunization of rabbits with the conjugates showed effective cross-reactive growth inhibition of different representatives of Candida spp. as well as Cryptococcus spp. IgG antibodies are evidenced as the effective component of the antisera.

Transfer of Candida albicans grown in Sabouraud medium to the RPMI medium induces the transition from a nonpathogenic yeast form to a pathogenic hyphal form. This transition was severely inhibited in a dose-dependent manner when deer antler extract was added to the RPMI medium in a nontoxic range (up to $500{\mu}g$). In that range, deer antler extract inhibited the hyphal transition and cell growth, whereas no effect was observed on the yeast growth. When hydrophobic or hydrophilic fractions were prepared by detergent-solubilization of deer antler extract, the hydrophobic fraction showed a large degree of inhibition of the hyphal growth in Candida albicans. Neither fraction affected the growth in the yeast form. The pattern of chitin localization in the culture of the yeast form grown in RPMI in the presence of deer antler extract was confirmed by calcofluor staining and this exhibited strongly the suppression of hyphal transition.

본 실험은 질소 및 탄소원이 Cercospora kikuchii 균사생장에 미치는 영향과 여러 배양조건에서 생장한 C. kikuchii가 세균생장을 저지하는 정도를 알아보았다. C. kikuchii 균사생장에 적합한 질소원은 yeastextract였고, 탄소원으로는 sucrose, glucose, maltose, fructose를 첨가하였을 때 균사생장이 좋았다. C. kikuchii의 세균생장저지 실험에서 wild type은 pH 조건은 5.0에서, 질소원으로는 yeast-extract 또는 peptone.을 첨가하였을 때, 탄소원으로는 sucrose, maltose, glucose, fructose를 첨가한 배지에서 생장하였을 때 Erwinia carotovora와 Pseudomonas solanacearum의 생장을 크게 저지시켰다. 그러나 albino 돌연변이균주는 실허된 세균의 생장을 거의 저지시키지 못하였다.

소염효과를 나타내는 생약 15종을 선별하여 이들 생약 추출물이 Chloropromazine에 의한 UVB 광독성에 미치는 영향을 in vitro 실험법 중 Candida albicans test, RBC photohemolysis, MTT assay에 의한 cytotoxicity 측정법의 방법을 이용하여 조사하였다. Candidal albicans teat에 의해 광독성의 광량 및 화학물질 의존성을 관찰할 수 있었으며, 광독성 억제 효과를 검색하기에 적당한 UVB조사량 및 CPZ농도는 2.1 J/$\textrm{cm}^2$, 0.6mg인 것으로 생각되었다. Candida albicans test에 의해 CPZ에 의한 UVB 광독성에는 P. persica, E. officinalis가 억제효과를 보임을 알 수 있었으며, RBC photohemolysis 결과 모든 생약시료들에 대해 hemolysis가 감소되었으며, 특히, Yeast, P. suffruticosa에 의한 % hemolysis는 34.42$\pm$1.01, 35.30$\pm$4.7로 유의성 있는 억제효과를 나타냄을 관찰할 수 있었다. MTT assay에 의한 cytotoxicity 측정 결과, UVB 조사에 이하여 세포생존율은 감소되었고, 시료처리시 세포생존율은 증가됨을 관찰할 수 있었다.

In order to select probiotics with a high survival rate in gut and the growth inhibition of virulent pathogens to human beings or animals, we have screened lactic acid bacteria and yeasts from Jeot-gal to assess resistance against the artificial gastric acid and bile juice. Lactic acid bacteria and yeasts isolated were incubated for 24 h in artificial bile juice after incubation for 2 h in artificial gastric acid. Especially, strain HW 161 and strain NK 181 showed the higher survival for 2 h incubation in artificial gastric acid. All of 3 strains of lactic acid bacteria and 2 strains of yeast were showed higher growth rate than the control in artificial bile. The antimicrobial activity of lactic acid bacteria and yeasts was also investigated to prove efficacy as probiotic organisms. Lactic acid bacteria were shown the inhibition of Gram positive and negative bacteria, but yeasts narrow inhibition.

In order to investigate the phototoxicity of five phenothiazine derivatives and one thioxanthen derivative were examined by using in vitro method based on growth inhibition of Candida albicans and red blood cell hemolysis. Effects of the test compounds on RBCs were monitored with a spectrophotometer and a drug PI in the Candida albicans was calculated on the basis of the lowest concentration giving a yeast-free zone. All phenothiazines phototoxic in the red blood cell hemolysis method were positive in the yeast test except promethazine. It was also observed that toxic photo-products were formed by perphenazine and chlorpromazine in the red blood cell hemolysis.
