To prepare oligouronic acids from high-molecular-weight alginates, sea tangle (Laminaria japonica) alginates were hydrolyzed at various pHs for 1 hr at 80$^{\circ}C$. The effects of hydrolysis pH (HpH) on the average molecular weight (AMW) and MW distribution ratios (DRs) in the hydrolyzed alginates were investigated. As HpH decreased, the DRs of the alginates with MW>500 kDa and MW=300-500 kDa decreased exponentially, while it increased exponentially for MW<50 kDa. For MW=100-300 kDa, DR increased exponentially as HpH fell from 5.0 to 3.5, and then decreased exponentially. Similarly, for MW=50-100 kDa, DR increased exponentially as HpH increased to 1.0 from 5.0, and then decreased exponentially. As HpH decreased, the MW cutoff size and AMW of alginates fraction with the highest DR were decreased. For HpH 4.5 and 5.0, the MW cutoff size with the highest DRs was MW=300-500 kDa; the DRs were 28.9 and 32.6%, respectively; and the AMW of both was about 400 kDa, for HpH 3.5 and 4.0, the cutoff size was MW=100-300 kDa; the DRs were about 28%: and the AMWs were both about 200 kDa. For HpH 3.0, the cutoff size was MW=50-100; the DR was 29.0%; and the AMW was 73 kDa. For HpH values below 2.0, the MW cutoff size with the highest DRs was MW<50 kDa, and all of the AMWs were below 28 kDa.

To prepare oligouronic acids from high-molecular-weight alginates prepared from sea tangle (Laminaria japonica), the alginates were hydrolyzed at various temperatures for 1 hr at pH 5.0. The effects of hydrolysis temperature $(H_{Temp})$ on the average molecular weight (AMW) and distribution ratio of MW (DR) in the hydrolyzed alginates were investigated. As $(H_{Temp})$ increased, the AMW of the alginates decreased exponentially; in addition the DR of the alginates with MW>500 kDa decreased exponentially, while the DR of those with MW=50-100 and MW<50 kDa increased exponentially. For the alginates with MW=300-500 and MW=100-300 kDa the DR increased exponentially until $H_{Temp}$ reached $80^{\circ}C$, and then decreased exponentially at above $80^{\circ}C$. AS $H_{Temp}$ increased, the MW cutoff size and AMW Of the alginates fraction With the highest DR both decreased. For $H_{Temp}<60^{\circ}C$, the MW cutoff size with the highest DR was MW>500 kDa; the DR was 39-67% and the AMW 1,000-1,300 kDa. For $H_{Temp}$ $80^{\circ}C$, the MW cutoff size with the highest DR was MW=300-500 kDa and the DR was about 33% and the AMW about 400 kDa. For $H_{Temp}\;100-121^{\circ}C$, the MW cutoff size with the highest DRs was MW=50-100 kDa, with a DR of 39-44% and an AMW of 70-80 kDa.

천연유기물질은 지표수와 지하수내 탁도를 유발하고 humic (humic acid와 fulvic acid)과 nonhumic 성분으로 구성된다. 일반적으로 NOM은 소독부산물(DBP) 전구물질로써 수처리시 관심의 대상이 된다. 원수의 특성은 정수공정의 선택과 적용에 중요한 정보를 제공한다. 수원에 따른 NOM의 상당한 차이가 다양한 원수들 사이에서 관찰되었고, 문제시되는 NOM을 제거하고 전환시키기 위한 목적으로 정수공정을 적용한다. 본 연구의 결과, 산화처리에 의해 전체 DOC 농도의 변화는 거의 없었지만, 고분자의 소수성 물질이 저분자의 친수성 물질로 전환되었고, 염소보다 오존의 경우 그 산화력의 차이 때문에 SUVA 값의 감소가 더 크게 나타났다. 응집처리에 의해 hydrophilic 성분보다 분자량이 더 큰 hydrophobic 성분이 응집 침전되어 훨씬 잘 제거되었다. THMFP는 50% 정도까지 제거되었는데, 이것은 상대적으로 THMFP를 잘 유발시킨다는 humic acid 성분의 제거가 원활하게 일어났기 때문이다.

Cell-free culture broth of marine halophilic bacterium, Kordia algicida was shown to possess specific algicidal ability against red tide organism, Cochlodinium polykrikides. Physiochemical characteristics of algicidal material originated in the bacterial culture broth were analyzed that its molecular weight was estimated to a 3,000 dalton and it was stable in heat and pH treatment. The algicidal fraction against C. polykrikoides obtained from gel permeable chromatography contained high concentration of ammonium ion as analyzed by ICP/Mass spectrum. C. polykrikoides by the fraction was quickly lysed within 1 min. It was shown that the effective concentration for algicide against C. polykrikoides was over 1mM of ammonium chloride. On the other hand, other metal ions presented in the algicidal fraction showed no algicidal effect against C. polykrikoides. In additon, ammonium ion exhibited species-specific killing spectrum for two species of red tide organisms, C. polykrikoides and Gymnodinium sanguieum. Therefore, further researches on the killing mechanism against C. polykrikoides exerted by ammonium ion, and subsequent development of replaceable algicidal materials will perform to provide useful tools for the control of red tide.

In this study Carotenoprotein from Styela clava were extracted, and purified by ammonium sulfate fraction, Sephadex G- 200 gel chromatography and DEAE-cellulose ion exchange chromarography. The purified carotenoprotein from styela clava had absorption maxima of 487nm, 463nm and 280nm, and the carotenoid liberated from carotenoprotein had 478nm and 452nm with inflexion. One miligram of caroteno-protein contained 0.35 $\mu$g of carotenoid. The carotenoprotein had an approximate molecular weight of 398 kDa (gel filtration). SDS-PAGE showed only a single polypeptide chain with a molecular weight of 62.4 kDa. The amino acid composition of the carotenoprotein were mainly glutamic acid(11.48%), valine(10.75%), leucine (10.45%), aspartic acid(9.94%), while cysteine and tryptophan were not found. The carotenoprotein contained lipid as structure units. In the carotenoprotein, the major fatty acids were oleic acid, plamitoleic acid and palmiunsaturated fatty acids 33.6%, saturated fatty acids 18.6%. In addition, the levels of higher unsaturated fatty acids were high as much as 30.8% of the total fatty acids. Carotenoid was extracted from the carotenoprotein by acetone. Thin layer chromatography showed only carotenoid to be present. Its chemical reactivities and spectroscopic properties were studied and elucidated as astaxanthin.

Ulcerative colitis (UC) results from colonic epithelial barrier defects and impaired mucosal immune responses. In this study, we aimed to investigate the modifying effects of a Spirogyra neglecta extract (SNE), a polysaccharide extract (PE) and a chloroform fraction (CF) on dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced colitis in mice and to determine the mechanisms. To induce colitis, ICR mice received 3% DSS in their drinking water for 7 days. Seven days preceding the DSS treatment, oral administration of SNE, PE and CF at doses of 50, 25 and 0.25 mg/kg body weight (low dose), 200, 100 and 1 mg/kg body weight (high dose) and vehicle was started and continued for 14 days. Histologic findings showed that DSS-induced damage of colonic epithelial structure and inflammation was attenuated in mice pre-treated with SNE, PE and CF. Furthermore, SNE and PE significantly protected colonic epithelial cells from DSS-induced cell cycle arrest, while SNE, PE and CF significantly diminished apoptosis. Proteome analysis demonstrated that SNE and PE might ameliorate DSS-induced colitis by inducing antioxidant enzymes, restoring impaired mitochondria function, and regulating inflammatory cytokines, proliferation and apoptosis. These results suggest that SNE and PE could prevent DSS-induced colitis in ICR mice by protection against and/or aiding recovery from damage to the colonic epithelium, reducing ROS and maintaining normal mitochondrial function and apoptosis.

A Cd-binding protein was identified in the renal cytosol of the Antarctic clam Laternula elliptica which naturally contains high concentrations of Cd. The Cd-binding protein showed similar characteristics of metallothionein (MT) in molecular weight (about 10-12 kDa) and low spectral absorbance at 280 nm with relatively high absorbance at 254nm. Results of immuno-histochemical staining suggested that the MT-like Cd-binding protein was mainly located in the epithelial cells of the kidney. The MT-like protein was a major ligand of cytosolic Cd as shown in the elution profiles of chromatography and may play an important role in Cd sequestration and accumulation in L. elliptica kidney. A considerable amount of Cd was also found to be associated with particulate fraction, indicating the sequestration to particulate fraction is as important as binding to the cytosolic MT-like protein in Cd accumulation in the kidney.

Alcaligenes sp. SH-69에서 탄소원의 고갈 또는 새로운 탄소원의 첨가시 포도당을 단일탄소원으로 하여 생합성된 poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) [poly(3HB-co-3HV)] 공중합체의 물질대사 변화 양상을 조사하였다. 회분배양 과정 중 탄소원이 고갈된 후에는 세포 내에 축척되었던 poly(3HB-co-3HV) 공중합체의 분해가 일어나 고분자 함량의 감소와 함께 무게평균 분자량도 감소하였다. 분해 과정 중에는 저분자량의 PHA에 비하여 상대적으로 고분자량의 PHA양이 크게 감소하여 평균 분자량 분포가 보다 낮은 방향으로 이동되는 양상을 보였다. 이에 반하여 1차 탄소원(기질)으로 사용된 포도당의 고갈 직후 2차 기질로서 포도당과 함께 3HV의 전구물질인 levulinic acid를 혼합기질로 첨가해 주었을 경우, 세포 건체량의 지속적인 증가와 아울러 3HV 함량이 높은 poly(3HB-co-3HV) 공중합체의 합성이 이루어졌다. 그러나 아세톤을 이용한 고분자의 분획 실험 결과, 2차 기질로부터의 poly(3HB-co-3HV) 공중합체의 생합성과 1차 기질로부터 생합성된 공중합체의 분해가 동시에 일어나며, 또한 각 기질로부터 생합성된 고분자가 단지 3HV의 함량이 다른 poly(3HB-co-3HV) 공중합체임에도 불구하고 혼합물 형태로 존재하고 있음을 확인하였다.

Porcine colostrum and milk were separated into the acid-soluble and casein fractions by acidification followed by centrifuge. The acid-soluble fraction of porcine colostrum was further separated by liquid chromatography and anisotropic membrane filtration. Trypsin and chymotrypsin inhibitory capacity in porcine colostrum, milk and their components was determined by incubating bovine trypsin or chymotrypsin in a medium containing their corresponding substrates with or without addition of various amounts of porcine colostrum, porcine milk or their components. The inhibition of insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) and epidermal growth factor (EGF) degradation in pig small intestinal contents by porcine colostrum was measured by incubating iodinated IGF-I or EGF with the intestinal contents with or without addition of porcine colostrum. Degradation of labeled IGF-I or EGF was determined by monitoring the generation of radioactivity soluble in 30% trichloroacetic acid (TCA). The results showed that porcine colostrum had high levels of trypsin and chymotrypsin inhibitory activity and increased the stability of IGF-I and EGF in pig intestinal contents. The inhibitory activity declined rapidly during lactation. It was also found that trypsin and chymotrypsin inhibitory activity and the inhibition on IGF-I and EGF degradation in the acid-soluble fraction were higher than that in the casein fraction. Heat-resistance study indicated that trypsin inhibitors in porcine colostrum survived heat treatments of $100^{\circ}C$ water bath for up to 10 min, but exposure to boiling water bath for 30 min significantly decreased the inhibitory activity. Compared with the trypsin inhibitors, the chymotrypsin inhibitors were more heatsensitive. Separation of the acid-soluble fraction of porcine colostrum by liquid chromatography and anisotropic membrane filtration revealed that the trypsin and chymotrypsin inhibitory capacity was mainly due to a group of small proteins with molecular weight of 10,000-50,000. In conclusion, the present study confirmed the existence of high levels of protease inhibitors in porcine colostrum, and the inhibition of porcine colostrum on degradation of milk-borne growth factors in the pig small intestinal tract was demonstrated for the first time.
