김치의 발효와 숙성 에 관여하는 2종의 유산균과 3종의 유제품으로부터 분리된 유산균을 Caco-2 세포 부착성과 $AFB_1$ 흡착능에 대해 비교 검토하여 보았다. 또한 유산균을 생균군, 열처리군, 강산처리군으로 나누어 유산균의 부착성 및 흡착력이 세포벽의 구조와 관련이 있다는 보고를 재확인하고자 하였다. L. plantarum KCTC 3099의 경우 Caco-2 세포 부착성이나 $AFB_1$ 흡착능이 높게 나타났으며 이것은 양성 대조군으로 사용된 L. rhamnosus GG와 유사한 수준을 나타내었다. 하지만 L. mesenteroides KCTC 3001은 Caco-2 부착성은 다소 높게 나타났으나 $AFB_1$ 흡착능은 낮게 나타났다. 이것은 Caco-2세포에 결합하는 부위와 $AFB_1$에 결합하는 부위가 일치하지는 않는다는 것을 암시하는 것으로 사료된다. 또한 유산균의 처리방법에 따라서도 다양한 차이를 보였는데 본 실험에서는 강산처리군의 경우 보다 효과적인 것으로 나타났으며 세포벽의 주된 구조인 peptidoglycan과 polysaccharides이 강산의 처리에 의해 결합이 파괴되면서 Caco2 세포 부착성이나 $AFB_1$ 흡착능의 상승에 영향을 미쳤으리라 여겨진다. 하지만 강산처리에 의한 세포벽의 변화는 비특이적으로 발생하기 때문에 동일한 형태로 모든 유산균에 적용 되기는 어려울 것이며 각 유산균종의 세포벽 구조와 특이 성분의 함량에 따라 다양하게 변화가 일어날 것으로 사료된다.

The effects of various concentrations of saturated fatty acids (SFA; caprylic, capric and stearic acids) on the growth of the anaerobic fungus, Neocallimastix frontalis C5-1 isolated from the rumen of a Korean native goat were investigated. At higher concentrations of fatty acids (0.1%, w/v), the addition of SFA strongly decreased filter paper (FP) cellulose digestion and polysaccharide-degrading enzyme activity. The sensitivity of the rumen anaerobic fungus to the added fatty acids increased in the following order: caprylic ($C_{8:0}$)>capric($C_{10:0}$)>stearic($C_{18:0}$) acid, although stearic acid had no significant (p<0.05) inhibitory effects at any of the concentrations tested. However, the addition of SFA at lower concentrations (0.01 and 0.001% levels), did not inhibit FP cellulose degradation and enzyme activity. Furthermore, although these parameters were slightly stimulated by the addition of SFA, they were not statistically different from control values. This is the first report examining the effects of fatty acids on anaerobic gut fungi. We found that the lower levels of fatty acids used in this experiment were able to stimulate the growth and specific enzyme activities of rumen anaerobic fungi, whereas the higher levels of fatty acids were inhibitory with respect to fungal cellulolysis.

An alkaline pectate lyase, Bsp165PelA, was purified to homogeneity from the culture broth of alkaliphilic Bacillus sp. N16-5. The enzyme showed a specific activity as high as 1,000 U/mg and had optimum activity at pH 11.5 and $50^{\circ}C$. It was composed of a single polypeptide chain with a molecular mass of 42 kDa deduced from SDS-PAGE, and its isoelectric point was around pH 6.0. It could efficiently depolymerize polygalacturonate and pectin. Characterization of product formation revealed unsaturated digalacturonate and trigalacturonate as the main products. The pectate lyase gene (pelA) contained an open reading frame (ORF) of 1,089 bp, encoding a 36-amino acids signal peptide and a mature protein of 326 amino acids with a calculated molecular mass of 35.943 Da. The deduced amino acid sequence from the pelA ORF exhibited significant homology to those of known pectate lyases in polysaccharide lyase family 1. Some conserved active-site amino acids were found in the deduced amino acid sequence of Bsp165PelA. $Ca^{2+}$ was not required for activity on pectic substrates.

Gardenia callus was induced in MS medium containing $10{\;}{\mu}M$ of 2,4 diphenoxy acetic acid (2,4-D), $1{\;}{\mu}M$ kinetin, and 3% sucrose in the dark. $B_5$ medium was identified to be the most adequate medium for cell growth. Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) was better growth regulator than 2,4-D not only for cell growth but slso for carotenoid production. Ligt also played a critical role on synthesis of carotenoid. Gardenia cells grown in $B_5$ medium could utilize a polysaccharide, soluble starch, as a carbon source. The cell growth was stimulated in $B_5$ medium fortified with 0.2% yeast extract. The optimum pH for cell growth was 5.7. High density cultures can be maintained by increasing inoculum size and medium concentration accordingly. Specific growth rate and mass doubling time were 0.095 $day^{-1}$ and 7.3 days, respectively. The cell immobilized in alginate tends to formulate more enlarged vacuoles containing yellow pigment compared with those of suspended cell. Carotenoid content of immobilized cell was about $264.4{\;}{\mu}g/g$ fresh weight (F.W.) corresponding twice of the content of suspended cell ($112.08{\;}{\mu}g/g$ F.W.). The color of gardenia cell was shifted from yellow to red when carbohydrase-secreting fungus, Trichoderma reesei, was co-cultivated with gardenia cells.

An immunogenic, high molecular weight lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-protein complex isolated from a potassium thioncyanate extract of a Pasteurella multocida (P multocida ; strain P-2383, capsular type A and somatic type 3) was characterized. Chemical analysis of the complex by gas chromatography on a capillary column demonstrated that this complex contained most of the chemical constituents characteristic of LPS extracted by the phenol-water methed from the whole bacterium. However, there was proportionately more carbohydrate than fatty acid in the complex in contrast to LPS in which fatty acid seemed to be in excess. When toxicity of the complex was evaluated in 10-day-old chicken embryos, the complex was less toxic ($LD_{50}=12.72{\mu}g$) than the purified LPS ($LD_{50}=0.44{\mu}g$). The $LD_{50}$, of the LPS moiety extracted from the complex was $5.24{\mu}g$. Composition of the complex was analyzed by SDS-PAGE with silver staining and Western immunoblotting. The complex did not migrate through the polyacrylamide gel unless dissociated with SDS. The complex dissociated with SDS contained at least 32 different protein and polysaccharide components: 18 components reacted with an antiserum against the complex. There was no significant compositional variation between the complexes from different strains, but quantitative differences in individual components were noted. When cross-protectivity of the complex was evaluated in mice, this complex provided substantial protection not only against the homologous bacteriun but also against different P multocida strains of the same serotype. LPS-protein complexes isolated by the same method from other strains also induced protection against an challenge with P-2383.

Panax ginseng, a medicinal plant, has been used as a blood-nourishing tonic for thousands of years in Asia, including Korea and China. P. ginseng exhibits adaptogen activity that maintains homeostasis by restoring general biological functions and non-specifically enhancing the body's resistance to external stress. Several P. ginseng effects have been reported. Korean Red Ginseng, in particular, has been reported in both basic and clinical studies to possess diverse effects such as enhanced immunity, fatigue relief, memory, blood circulation, and anti-oxidation. Moreover, it also protects against menopausal symptoms, cancer, cardiac diseases, and neurological disorders. The active components found in most Korean Red Ginseng varieties are known to include ginsenosides, polysaccharides, peptides, alkaloids, polyacetylene, and phenolic compounds. In this review, the identity and bioactivity of the non-saponin components of Korean Red Ginseng discovered to date are evaluated and the components are classified into polysaccharide and nitrogen compounds (protein, peptide, amino acid, nucleic acid, and alkaloid), as well as fat-soluble components such as polyacetylene, phenols, essential oils, and phytosterols. The distinct bioactivity of Korean Red Ginseng was found to originate from both saponin and non-saponin components rather than from only one or two specific components. Therefore, it is important to consider saponin and non-saponin elements together.

Hyaluronidase (HAase) can enhance drug diffusion and dissipate edema by degrading hyaluronic acid (HA) in the extracellular matrix into unsaturated HA oligosaccharides in mammalian tissues. Microorganisms are recognized as valuable sources of HAase. In this study, a new hyaluronate lyase (HAaseD) from Bacillus sp. CQMU-D was expressed in Escherichia coli BL21, purified, and characterized. The results showed that HAaseD belonged to the polysaccharide lyase (PL) 8 family and had a molecular weight of 123 kDa. HAaseD could degrade chondroitin sulfate (CS) -A, CS-B, CS-C, and HA, with the highest activity toward HA. The optimum temperature and pH value of HAaseD were 40℃ and 7.0, respectively. In addition, HAaseD retained stability in an alkaline environment and displayed higher activity with appropriate concentrations of metal ions. Moreover, HAaseD was an endolytic hyaluronate lyase that could degrade HA to produce unsaturated HA oligosaccharides. Together, our findings indicate that HAaseD from Bacillus sp. CQMU-D is a new hyaluronate lyase and with excellent potential for application in industrial production.
