A study was conducted to investigate the characteristics of segregation and alcohol fermentation of intergeneric fusants. The protoplast fusion of both Pichia stipitis CBS 5776 and Saccharomycess cerevisiae STV 89 was carried out. The fusion frequency was $5\times10^{-8}$ and among fusants selected, a fusant F5 showed the best results in ethanol production by sucrose and xylose fermentations. The performance of xylose fermentation by this fusant was better than that of P. stipitis CBS 5776 and fusant F5 exhibited sucrose fermentation patterns intermediate to the two parent strains. The fusant F5 was segregated into a pair of parental strains during the several culture passages. In the average, 91$%$ of colonies had a similar characteristics of P. stipitis while 7$%$ of colonies resembled S. cerevisiae. Only 2$%$ of colonies had the characteristics of the original fusants. At the sixth passage, all segregants resembled P. stipitis. From these results it is suggested that intergeneric protoplast fusion led to an integration of S. cerevisiae genes, rather than whole chromosomes, within the entire genome of P. stipitis.

새로운 alcohol발효성 효모 균주 개발을 목적으로 S. diastaticus 와 C. tropicalis간의 세포 융합을 하여 얻은 fusant의 성질에 대해서는 제3보$^{(10)}$에서 발표한 바이다. 본 보에서 는 fusant의 glucoamylase와 pullulanase activity와 glucoamylase의 성질 및 발효력을 조사하였다. glucoamylase activity는 parent보다 fusant가 1.5배 높은 활성을 나타내었고 pullulanase activity 역시 두배의 높은 활성을 나타내었다. glucoamylase의 성질을 조사한 바 온도, pH에서 비슷한 경향을 나타내었으며 발효력을 조사하기 위하여 정치법에서는 기질을 soluble starch로 한 것 보다 liquefied potato starch에서 alcohol 생성력이 2배 증가되었으며 발효력 또한 더 나았다. 15% 액화한 potato starch를 기질로하여 jar-fermenter에서 발효시켰을 때 당화율 94%에서 생성된 alcohol이 7.8% (v/v)이고 소비된 당에 대한 발효율은 78%였다.

Intraspecific and interspecific protoplast fusions in/between C. thermocellum and C. thermohydrosulfuricum were studied. Protoplast fusions were well induced in 30-40% PEG solution, however, their fusion frequencies were low level of 1.2*10$^{-7}$ for intraspecific fusion of C. thermocellum, $6.7*10^{-7}$ for C. thermohydrosulfuricum, and 4.2*10$^{-7}$ for interspecific fusion between above two Clostridia, respectively. Most fusants were unstable and segregated after 3 subcultures. Relatively stable intraspecific C. thermocellum fusant FTT17, intraspecific C. thermohydrosulfurecum fusant FSS22 and interspecific fusant FTS3, which were stable after several subcultures, were selected and properties of fusants were further investigated, Phenotypes of the fusants were similar with wild types mostly in cellular morphology, carbon source assimilation and enzyme activities. However they were differed in assimilation of pyruvic acid and sorbitol as carbon source. The DNA contents of fusants were slightly increased compared with wild types. Ethanol production by intraspecific and/or interspecific fusants was not increased, however, acetic acid production as byproduct was decreased or not detected, which indicates that industrial thermophilic anaerobes can be improved by means of protoplast fusion of two strains.

섬유성 당화액에서의 ethanol 생산에 적합한 균류를 개발할 목적으로 Candida sp. KM-09-135와 Saccharomyces cerevisiae SM-07의 이속간의 원형질체 융합을 행하여 우수한 융합체로 인정된 KMS-23 균주를 얻었다. 융합주 KMS-23은 37'C에서 생육 및 ethanol 생성능이 가장 좋았고, 발효당으로 xylose, cellobiose, maltose 및 raffinose도 이용하였다. 세포의 크기는 KM-09-135 및 SM-07에 비해 각각 1.2배, 1.5배 증가하였으나 DNA 함량은 약간의 증가만 보여 완전한 2배체의 융합주가 아닌 것으로 나타났다. 환원당으로서 6.44(w/v)의 당을 함유한 밀기울 당화액에서 융합주 KMS-23은 동일조건하에서 KM-09-135보다 약 1.3배 높은 2.57(v/v)의 ethanol을 생산하였다.

아닐린분해능이 있는 Flavimonas oryzihabitans과 4-chlorobiphenyl (4-CBP)를 분해하는 Pseudomonas sp.를 원형질체 융합하여 아닐린과 4-CBP를 모두 분해하는 융합균주를 개발하고, 융합체의 특성을 조사하였다. F. oryzibhavitans는 융합체 선별표지 위애 NTG처리하여 chloramphenicol 내성 ($Cm^r$)을 유발하였다. Lysozyme-EDTA에 의한 각 모균주의 원형질체 생성율은 약 99%이었고, 원형질체의 재생율은 5.0~6.6%이었다. 원형질체는 40% PEG 6000을 사용하였을 때 효과적으로 융합이 이루어졌으며 융합율은 $3.16{\times}10^{-4} $이었다. 융합균인 F22의 DNA양는 모균주에 비해 약 2배 정도 증가 하였으며, 생화학적 특성은 모균주의 특성이 혼합하여 나타났다. F22는 5 mM 아닐린 최소배지에서는 모균주와 성장능과 분해능이 거의 비슷하였고, 10 mM 아닐린 최소배지에서는 1.5배 빠른 성장속도를 나타내었으나, 4-CBP 분해능은 모균주보다 약간 낮게 나타났다.

In order to develop the protoplast fusion method of the strains of Fusarium, the interspecific protoplast fusion was attempted between Fusarium poae and F. sporotrichioides. Various auxotrophic mutants were isolated by the treatment of N-Methyl-N'-Nitro-N-Nitrosoguanidine. The optimal conditions for the formation and regeneration of protoplasts were examined and the characteristics of a fusant were studied. As a results, protoplasts were readily obtained from 18 hours cultured mycelia by the treatment of driselase for 3 hours and 0.6 M KCl as a best osmotic stabilizer at pH 6.0 for the formation of protoplast. Sucrose was the most suitable for the regeneration. Polyetylene glycol (M.W. 8,000) in $CaCl_{2}$-glycine solution was used to induce the protoplast fusion. The interspecific fusion frequency between protoplasts among the auxotrophic mutants of the two strains ranged from $2.7*10^{-2}$ to $5.7*10^{-3}$ . DNA content and cellulase activity were rather increased in the interspecific fusant. The lag phase of growth curve was slightly elongated in the fusant.

Yeast cells of a fusant strain constructed by protoplast fusion of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Kluyveromyces frugilis were immobilized on calcium alginate beads. The increment of the ethanol tolerance of this strain to 8.0%, when compared with the parent K, fragilis, was confirmed. Based on the results from jar fermentation, a packed-bed reactor of theh immobilized yeast cells was operated. The optimal performance of the immobilized yeast reactor for ethanol production was achieved when supplying 10% lactose (suplemented 1.0% yeast extract) at a temperature of 30.deg.C. The maximal ethanol productivity was obtained as 13.3 g/I/hr at a dilution rate of $0.76 hr^{-1}$.

Antitumor effect of LC43, a protein-bound ploysaccharide (M.W. 43 kDa) that was purified from intergeneric protoplast fusant of Lentinus edodes and Coriolus versicolor, was elucidated against mouse sarcoma 180 cell in vitro and in vivo. By injecting LC43 into ICR mice bearing solid or ascitic sarcoma 180, tumor regression and survival rates were investigated. To examine the effects of LC43 on immunopotentiation activity. immunoorgan weight, B cell differentiation, T cell activity and macrophage activation were determined. LC43 showed antitumor effects against both solid tumor and ascitic tumor of sarcoma 180. It did not change significantly the immunoorgan weight but potentiated immune responses such as B cell differentiation and the release of superoxide anion from macrophages. These results suggest that the protein-bound polysaccharide of LC43 exhibited antitumor activities through the activation of immune-related cells and acted as an immunmodulator.

In order to develop a novel yeast which produces the charateristic aroma of soy sauce, a protoplast fusion between Zygosaccharomyces rouxii WFS4 and Torulopsis versatilis IAM 4993 was carried out. Auxotrophic mutants as selective markers were obtained from Zygosaccharomyces rouxii and Torulopsis versatilis by treatment of N-methyl-N -nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine. The conditions of the protoplast formation and the regeneration for fusion were examined. The protoplast fusion using polyethylene glycol 4000 led to the fusion frequency of $4~5{\times}10^{-7}\;cells/ml$. Among fusants, a fusant ST723-F31 presented the best results in terms of the aromaticity of fragrance, the growth pattern, the resistance against salt and the degree of growth according to pH. It makes easy to control the production and the balance of aroma components so that it gives a good flavor, shortens the fermentation period and, simplifies the preparation process when using a bioreactor into which fusant is immobilized.
