To investigate a possible biological activity of iridoid glucosides, six compounds, aucubin, catalpol, gardenoside, geniposide, rehmannioside and swertiamarin, were studied in relation with their potential influences in RNA and protein biosyntheses in murine tumor cell, sarcoma 180, in vitro. Protein biosynthesis was slightly inhibited by aucubin, gardenoside and swertiamarin. Degree of inhibition of RNA biosynthesis by those iridoid appeared to be more sensitive than that of protein biosynthesis. When aucubin was pretreated with ${\beta}-glucosidase$ to produce its genin form and the sarcoma 180 cells were exposed to this aucubigenin, the protein and RNA biosyntheses in the cells were profoundly inhibited. The results indicate that a biologically active from of iridoid compounds is the hydrolytic products of glycoside, i.e. genin form. It is also suggested that sarcoma 180 cells used in the experiments appear to lack of ${\beta}-glucosidase$, since the inhibitory actions of iridoid glucosides were so slight that those glucosides were not hydrolysed by the enzyme to their genin forms.

A high level of Staphylococcus haemolyticus L62 lipase was expressed in an Escherichia coli transformant. The expressed lipase activity in the cell-free extract was 70,800 U/l, which corresponded to 30% of the total cellular protein. Pre-mixing of the l62 lipase with some nonionic detergents enhanced its hydrolytic activity towards olive oil: Tween detergents activated the L62 lipase by 3 fold. Gel filtration chromatography of the Tween-80-L62 lipase mixture demonstrated a polymerized complex (∼180 kDa) formed exclusively between Tween-80 and the L62 lipase. The lipase enzyme in the complex showed a higher specific activity towards most triacylglycerols than the intact L62 lipase. The activity enhancement towards each substrate was quite different depending on the acyl chain length; the activity towards tributyrin, trilinolein, and trilinolenin was much more enhanced than the towards the medium and the long-chain saturated triglycerides.

The cell wall material from fruiting bodies of Laetporus sulphureus has been suggested as a new alternative to mutan for the mutanase induction in Trichoderma harzianum. Structural analyses revealed that the cell wall fraction from this polypore fungus contained 56.3% of (1$\rightarrow$3)-linked $\alpha$-glucans. When the strain T. harzianum F-340 was grown on a cell wall preparation from L. sulphureus, the maximal enzyme productivity obtained after 3 days of cultivation was 0.71 U/ml. This yield was about 1.8-fold higher than that achieved on mutan, known so far as the best, but expensive and inaccessible, inducer of mutanase production. Cell-wall-induced mutanase showed a high hydrolytic potential in reaction with a dextranase-pretreated mutan, where maximal degrees of saccharification and solubilization of this biopolymer (80% and 100%, respectively) were reached in 3 h at 45$^{\circ}C$. The mutanase preparation was also effective in degradation of streptococcal mutan and its removal from oral biofilms, especially in a mixture with dextranase.

Alpha 1-Proteinase inhibitor[PI] was known as a major protective enzyme against to excessive hydrolytic and proteolytic reaction. So, it was suggested that Alpha 1-PI may implicated in growth of bronchogenic cancer. This study was undertaken to investigate the role of Alpha 1-PI in local invasion of bronchogenic cancer. Three groups of patients were studied; Preliminary research group of 15 bronchogenic cancer patients, Main research group of 13 bronchogenic cancer patients and Normal control group of 10 nephrectomy donor. Serum Alpha 1-PI level was observed in each group of patients during pre-and postoperative days. Pre-operative serum Alpha 1-PI level in preliminary research group [329.2$\pm$14.21mg/dl]and main research group[406.2$\pm$39.30mg/dl] were higher than in normal control group[236.2$\pm$19.55mg/dl] significantly[p<0.005]. Serial Alpha 1-PI level in each group during pre-and postoperative days shows peaked at 3rd. postoperative day in preliminary and main research group, thereafter decreased gradually. Immunohistochemical study for Alpha 1-antitrypsin[A1AT] was carried out by ABC[avidin-biotin peroxidase complex] method using Alpha-1 antitrypsin DAKOR to tumor tissues of 13 lung cancer patients in main research group. 6 cases[46.2%, squamous cell ca.;5, adenocarcinoma;1] of above 13 cases show positive immunoreactivity for A1AT. In conclusion, alpha 1-PI and elastase are disclosed that have defined actions for lung cancer growing or spreading.

Major cellulase components, such as three endoglucanases (endoglucanases I, II, and III) and one exoglucanase (exoglucanase II), were isolated from a commercial cellulase (Meicelase TP 60) derived from the fungus Trichoderma viride by a series of chromatography procedures. These procedures were the gel filtration on Bio-Gel, the anion exchange on DEAE-Bio-Gel A, the cation exchange on SP-Sephadex C50, and the affinity chromatography on Avicel cellulose. The average molecular weights determined by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoretic analysis were 51,000, 59,000, 41,000 and 62,000 Da for endoglucanases I, II and III and exoglucanase II, respectively. The extinction coefficients, ${\varepsilon}^{1%}$ 280 nm, of these enzymes were 11.7, 3.3, 7.2 and 11.3, respectively. Among them, the endoglucanase II showed the very low value of the coefficient compared with the others. On the other hand, it was found that endoglucanase II and III were of more random hydrolytic mode on carboxymethylcellulose as compared with those of endoglucanase I and exoglucanase II. Especially, endoglucanase I showed less random action than that of exoglucanase II. In the hydrolysis of insoluble cellulose by the enzyme components, cellobiose was the major product, but glucose was the major product by endoglucanase III.

In this study, silkworms fed Cudrania tricuspidata leaves were powdered, and hydrolytic enzymes, including viscozyme, papain, and flavourzyme, were added to verify the functionality of the different mixtures. In the general component analysis, the C. tricuspidata silkworm (CS) group exhibited higher crude protein and ash content than did the other groups, and the enzyme-treated groups exhibited higher carbohydrate content than the CS group. The DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activities were significantly higher in the CS treated with viscozyme (CSV) and the CS treated with viscozyme/flavourzyme (CSVF) than in the other groups, with the CSV group showing the highest reducing power. ACE inhibitory activity was significantly higher in the CS treated with visocozyme/papain (CSVP) than in the CS group. In conclusion, rather than using powdered silkworms fed C. tricuspidata leaves, it would be more effective to use hydrolysates from C. tricuspidata silkworms as raw materials for functional foods.

본 연구는 꽃사슴과 Holstein 젖소의 반추위와 대장에 서식하는 미생물중 섬유소 분해력이 강한 혐기성 박테리아를 순수 분리하여 분리된 미생물들을 동정하고 이들 미생물들의 효소 특성을 구명하고자 수행되었다. 배지의 종류에 관계없이 젖소에서 분리된 박테리아가 꽃사슴에서 분리된 미생물에 비하여 섬유소 분해효소 활력이 우수하였고 탄소 공급원의 종류에 의해 섬유소 분해 효소의 활력에 영향을 미쳤으며 특히, cellulose 단독 공급시 보다 starch, glucose와 cellobiose를 복합한 탄소 공급원을 제공시 일반적으로 높은 효소의 활력을 나타내었다. API kit를 이용한 생화학 및 당발효 시험 결과 알려진 강력한 섬유소 분해 박테리아는 동정되지 않았고 대부분의 박테리아가 Peptostreptococcus spp., Bifidobacterium spp., Prevotela ruminicola/buccae, Clostridium beijer/butyricum 및 Streptococcus intemedis로 동정되었다. 분리된 균들의 다당류 및 단당류를 분해할 수 있는 가수분해 효소인 Avicelase, xylanase, β-D-glucosidase, α-L-arabino- furanosidase 및 β-xylosidase의 효소활력은 이용하는 배지조성 특히 탄소 공급원의 종류에 의하여 효소의 활력에 영향을 미치며 가수분해 효소의 종류에 따라 각 분리된 균주들마다의 다른 분포를 나타내었다. 결론적으로 분리된 혐기성 박테리아들이 공급되는 탄수화물 기질의 종류에 따라 효소의 활력에 변화를 일으켰고 이것은 기질에 따른 박테리아의 효소생산 특이성과 성장률의 변화에서 기인하였기 때문이다.

부영양화 현상을 나타내는 석촌호수와 팔당호의 표층수와 저니로부터 178개의 균주를 분리한 후, Anabaena cylindrica lawn 상에서 plaque를 형성하는 9개의 균주를 선별하였으며 이들 중에서 남조류 생장 억제 능력이 가장 우수한 AK-07를 선발하였다. AK-07의 특성과 16S rDNA의 염기 서열 분석을 기초로 하여 유연관계를 조사한 결과, 형태적, 생리적 생화학적 특징들은 Acinetobacter속의 특성들과 유사하였으며, 165 rDNA의 염기 서열 분석한 결과는 Acinetobacter johnsonii와 99.5%의 유사성을 나타내어, Acinetobacter johnsonii AK-07로 명명하였다. 남조류 분해 특성을 조사하기 위해서, AK-07를 A. cylindrica와 혼합 배양시 접종 2일 후에 남조류의 분해가 관찰되었고, 접종 10일 후에는 남조류가 완전히 사멸하였으며, AK-07의 세포 수는 $8\;{\times}\;10^8\;cfu\;ml^{-1}$까지 증가하였다. 그러나 배양 상등액을 A. cylindrica와 혼합 배양 하였을 때에는 남조류의 분해는 관찰 되지 않았다. 따라서 AK-07는 남조류를 직접 접촉하여 분해하는 것으로 사료되어, AK-07에 세포에 존재하는 효소의 활성을 조사한 결과 Pretense와 glycanases중에서 ${\beta}$-Xylosidase의 활성이 가장 높았으며, Alginase, Laminarinase, Lipase, ${\beta}$-Galactosidase 및 ${\beta}$-Glucosidase의 활성도 높은 수준으로 관찰되었다. A. johnsonii AK-07은 A. cylindrica의 polysaccharides나 peptidoglycans를 monosaccharides이나 저분자 유기물로 분해하는 것으로 여겨진다.

This study was conducted to isolate and characterize Paenibacillus sp. MBT213 possessing ${\beta}$-glucosidase activity from raw milk, and examine the enzymatic capacity on the hydrolysis of a major ginsenoside ($Rb_1$). Strain MBT213 was found to have a high hydrolytic ability on ginsenoside $Rb_1$ by Esculin Iron Agar test. 16S rDNA analysis revealed that MBT213 was Paenibacillu sp. Crude enzyme of MBT213 strain exhibited high conversion capacity on ginsenoside $Rb_1$ into ginsenoside Rd proven by TLC and HPLC analyses. The API ZYM kit confirmed that Paenibacillu sp. MBT213 exerted higher ${\beta}$-glucosidase and ${\beta}$-galactosidase activity than other strains. Optimum pH and temperature for crude enzyme were found at 7.0 and $35^{\circ}C$ in hydrolysis of ginsenoside $Rb_1$. After 10 d of optimal reaction conditions for the crude enzyme, ginsenoside $Rb_1$ fully converted to ginsenoside Rd. Ginseng roots (20%) were fermented for 14 d, and analyzed by HPLC showed that amount of ginsenoside $Rb_1$ significantly decreased, while that of ginsenoside Rd was significantly increased. The study confirmed that the ${\beta}$-glucosidase produced by Paenibacillus sp. MBT213 can hydrolyze the major ginsenoside $Rb_1$ and convert to Rd during fermentation of the ginseng. The ${\beta}$-glucosidase activity of this novel Paenibacillus sp. MBT213 strain may be utilized in development of variety of health foods, dairy foods and pharmaceutical products.
