Streptococcus mutans is one of the important bacteria that forms dental biofilm and cause dental caries. Virulence genes in S. mutans can be classified into the genes involved in bacterial adhesion, extracellular polysaccharide formation, biofilm formation, sugar uptake and metabolism, acid tolerance, and regulation. The genes involved in bacterial adhesion are gbps (gbpA, gbpB, and gbpC) and spaP. The gbp genes encode glucan-binding protein (GBP) A, GBP B, and GBP C. The spaP gene encodes cell surface antigen, SpaP. The genes involved in extracellular polysaccharide formation are gtfs (gtfB, gtfC, and gtfD) and ftf, which encode glycosyltransferase (GTF) B, GTF C, and GTF D and fructosyltransferase, respectively. The genes involved in biofilm formation are smu630, relA, and comDE. The smu630 gene is important for biofilm formation. The relA and comDE genes contribute to quorumsensing and biofilm formation. The genes involved in sugar uptake and metabolism are eno, ldh, and relA. The eno gene encodes bacterial enolase, which catalyzes the formation of phosphoenolpyruvate. The ldh gene encodes lactic acid dehydrogenase. The relA gene contributes to the regulation of the glucose phosphotransferase system. The genes related to acid tolerance are atpD, aguD, brpA, and relA. The atpD gene encodes $F_1F_0$-ATPase, a proton pump that discharges $H^+$ from within the bacterium to the outside. The aguD gene encodes agmatine deiminase system and produces alkali to overcome acid stress. The genes involved in regulation are vicR, brpA, and relA.

Polysaccharide from Sanguisorba officinalis was separated and fractionated using DEAE-Sephadex ion-exchange chromatography and Sephacry HR-200 gel filtration chromatography. One of the fraction(Fr. II) was sulfated and its anticoagulant activity was tested in vitro. Sulfation could increase the clotting time 50 times compared to unsulfated one. Fr. II was hydrolyzed and its composition was analyzed by conjugation with 7-amino-1, 3-naphthalene disulfonic acid using HPLC and electrophoresis. Arabinose and galactose were mainly composed at the ratio of 4 : 1. In addition, xylose and rhamnose were also found.

Toxohormone-L is a lipolytic factor, found in ascites fluid of sarcoma 180-bearing mice and of patients with hepatoma A substance that inhibited the lipolytic action of Toxohormoue-L was isolated and purified from Korean red ginseng powder. This substance had a pectin-like $\alpha$-1,4-polygalacturonan backbone with some acetoxyl groups, and so was an acidic polysaccharide It inhibited Toxohormone-L Induced liploysis in a dose dependent manner at concentrations higher than 10 Ug/ml. Purified acidic Polysaccharide yield(PG4-3 and PG4-4 fraction) was about 0.03%. And also pectic acid that inhibited the lipolytic action of Toxohormone-L.

For the purpose of developing new immunomodulatory agents from broccoli, ethanol extract (BCEE), hot water extract (BCHW), and crude polysaccharide (BCCP) were isolated from broccoli, and their immunomodulatory activities and chemical properties were examined. In the in vitro cytotoxicity analysis, BCHW and BCCP did not affect the growth of tumor cells and normal cells. Murine peritoneal macrophages stimulated with BCCP showed higher production of IL-6, IL-12, and $TNF-{\alpha}$ cytokines than those stimulated with BCHW. Also, BCHW and BCCP did not show proliferation of splenic lymphocytes. In the in vitro assay for intestinal immunomodulatory activities, only BCCP enhanced GM-CSF secretion and the bone marrow cell-proliferating activity via cells in Peyer's patches at $1,000{\mu}g/mL$. Also, BCHW mainly contained 33.7% neutral sugars, such as arabinose, glucose, and galactose, and 30.7% uronic acid, and BCCP consisted of 42.6% neutral sugars, including arabinose, galactose, and glucose, and 50.5% uronic acid. The above results lead us to conclude that crude polysaccharide (BCCP) isolated from broccoli causes considerably high cytokine production in peritoneal macrophages and bone marrow cell proliferation, and the polysaccharide extraction process is indispensable for separation of new immunomodulatory agents from broccoli.

Maca roots (Lepidium meyenii) are an important medicinal herb that have long been used by the Andes-indigenous peoples and South Americans. In Korea, recently, it has attracted attention as a health food material because of nutritional values and physiological activities. The purpose of this study was to investigate the industrial applicability of maca (red and golden varieties; R&G) as immunostimulating materials. In the macrophage stimulating assay using RAW 264.7 cells at 125~500 ㎍/mL of non-cytotoxicity doses, G-HW showed the most potent production of TNF-α, IL-6 and nitric oxide compared to red maca or the other extracts. The general component analysis results showed that all extracts comprised more than 90% neutral sugars with small amounts of uronic acid and protein. Meanwhile, component sugar analysis showed the difference in the content of uronic acids of cold- and hot-water extract. Additionally, the further fractionation of G-HW into crude polysaccharide (G-CP) greatly enhanced the macrophage stimulating activity, and G-CP contained macromolecules over 144 kDa, comprised mainly of glucose and galacturonic acid (51.0 and 34.9%). In conclusion, crude polysaccharide from maca showed industrial applicability as immunostimulating material, and especially golden maca showed higher macrophage stimulating activity than red maca.

A neutral polysaccharide, GP, was isolated from a fermentation broth of Ganoderma lucidum Acid hydrolysis and a paper chromatography analysis indicated that the polysacchride was composed of glucose, xylose, and mannose. The molecular weight was estimated to be $2.9{\times}10^4$. The oral administration of GP to mice showed that it can inhibit liver damage induced by GalN and $CCl_4$.

인삼원료삼의 안정적인 공급을 위하여 인삼의 기내배양에 의하여 생산된 캘루스 및 모상근으로부터 인삼사포닌, 지방산, 산상다당체, 페놀성화합물 및 유기산함량을 조사하였다. 인삼사포닌의 경우에는 캘루스에 비해 모상근에서 훨씬 많았으며 모상근 세포주간에는 약 10mg/g로 유사한 경향을 보였다. 포화지방산은 인삼 캘루스에서 높은 반면 모상근의 경우에는 불포화지방산이 오히려 많거나 비슷한 경향을 보였다. 특히 인삼 캘루스에서는 palmitic acid가 많이 존재하였으며, 인삼 모상근의 경우에는 불포화지방산인 linoleic acid가 캘루스의 5배 이상 많은 검출되었다. 산성 다당체와 페놀성화합물은 기내 배양한 인삼 캘루스 조직에서는 거의 동량으로 존재하였으나, 인삼 모상근의 경우에는 세포주에 따라서 많은 차이를 나타내었다. 특히 HR-2같은 경우에는 산성 다당체보다는 페놀화합물이 $2.26\%$로 산성 다당체보다 2배 이상 많이 존재하였는데 반하여, HR-3 인삼 모상근의 경우에는 산성 다당체가 $1.64\%$로 페놀화합물보다 4배 이상 존재하는 것으로 분석되었다. 인삼 모상근세포주와 캘루스의 유기산은 모상근 세포주가 34.64 mg으로 가장 많이 존재하는 것으로 조사되었다.

This study was concerned with the optimization of liquid culture conditions for mycelial growth and polysaccharide production and its physicochemical properties in Cordyceps militaris. The one factor at a time method was adopted to investigate the effects of medium composition, environmental factors and C/N ratio. Among the these varialbles, glucose 80g/L, yeast extract 10g/L, $MgSO_4{\cdot}7H_{2}O\;0.5g/L$, $KH_{2}PO_4\;0.5g/L$ were proved to be the most suitable carbon, nitrogen, and mineral sources, respectively. The optimal temperature, initial pH, working volume were identified to be $24^{\circ}C$, 7.0 and 100ml, respectively. Under the optimal conditions, the strategies in shake flask culture and 5L jar fermentor led to mycelial growth of 29.43 g/L, 28.88g/L and polysaccharide production of 2.53g/L, 6.38 g/L, respectively. Among the phisicochemical properties, relative concentrations(w/v) of total sugar, uronic acid, protein and hexoseamine were identified to be 74.07%, 1.13%, 0.91%, and 0.46%, respectively. The fraction of neutral and acidic polysaccharide were identified to be 81.9% and 18.1%, respectively.

The polysaccharide, (1\longrightarrow5)-$\alpha$-D-ribofuranan, was synthesized by a cationic ring-opening polymerization of 1,4-anhydro-2,3-di-O-benzyl-$\alpha$-D-ribopyranose with the aid of boron trifluoride etherate and subsequent debenzylation. This polysaccharide catalyzed the hydrolysis of ethyl p-nitrophenyl phosphate, uridylyl(3'\longrightarrow5')uridine ammonium salt, and 4-tert-butylcatechol cyclic phosphate N-methyl pyridinium. The polymer also catalyzed the cleavage of nucleic acids (DNA and RNA). The hydrolysis of ethyl p-nitrophenyl phosphate in the presence of the polymer was accelerated by 1.5 ${\times}$ 10$^3$ times relative to the uncatalyzed reaction. The catalytic activity was attributable to the vic-cis-diols of the riboses being located inside the active center that is formed by polymer chain folding; these diols form hydrogen bonds with two phosphoryl oxygen atoms of the phosphates so as to activate the phosphorus atoms to be attacked by nucleophile ($H_2O$).
