본 실험은 쪽 세포의 현탁배양에서 indirubin 생산을 위한 indole의 처리 시기와 처리 기간 및 첨가량을 찾기 위하여 수행하였으며 얻어진 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. Indole 첨가시 세포 생장량은 억제되었다. 2. Tryptophan 첨가시 세포 생장량의 증가는 크지 않았다. 3. Indole과 L-tryptophan을 고체레지에 첨가한 경우 indole을 첨가한 배지에서 만 indirubin이 검출되었다. 4. Indirubin 생산에 적절한 indole 첨가 농도는 고체배지에서 200mg으로 나타났다. 5. 현탁배양 중 indole 첨가시기를 달리한 결과 배양 20일 후 indole을 첨가한 배지에서 세포와 배지내 indirubin 농도가 높았다. 6. 고체배양보다 현탁배양에서 세포내에 축적된indirubin이 많았으며 배지 내 로 상당량의 indirubin이 유출되었다.

In this study, we investigated the effects of indole on biofilm formation inhibition in Pantoea agglomerans (P. agglomerans). In the biofilm growth assay, indole inhibited biofilm formation across all the growth time. Depending on biofilm growth stage, indole exhibited biofilm inhibition and anti-bacterial effects on planktonic cells. Through the analysis of the proportion rate between biofilm and Colony Forming Units (CFU) and inhibition rate of indole, we confirmed that depending on the biofilm stage of P. agglomerans, indole treatment timing was more important than the treatment duration. By comparing gene expression rates through rt-qPCR P.agglomerans affected by indole was found to significantly change quorum sensing (pagI/R) and indole transportation (bssS) gene expressions. Throughout all, indole exhibited both antimicrobial and anti-biofilm effects on P. agglomerans. In addition, we confirmed the anti-biofilm effects of indole on mature biofilm. In conclusion, indole as a signal molecule, can exhibit anti-biofilm effects through bacterial quorum sensing inhibition and indole affects. Therefore, indole can regulate biofilm bacteria especially gram-negative opportunistic pathogens.

이물질(xenobiotics) 대사에 관여하는 간장 microsome과 cytosol 효소 활성에 indole, indole-3-carbinol 및 benzofuran이 미치는 영향을 검색하기위하여 마우스에 이들 약물을 각각 5 mmole/kg씩 10일간 투여하여 다음 몇 가지의 성적을 얻었다. Benzofuran은 microsome 효소인 aniline hydroxylase, 7-ethoxycoumarin O-deethylase, p-nitrophenol UDPGA-transferase, epoxide hydrolase와 cytosol 효소인 glutathione S-tranferase, NADH : quinone reductase, UDP-glucose dehydrogenase의 활성도를 증가시켰다. 그러나 benzofuran과는 구조적으로 furan ring내의 N원소가 O원소로 치환되었을 뿐 주된 구조가 유사한 indole과 indole-3-carbinol 투여로는 UDPGA-transferase와 NADH: quinone reductase의 활성도 증가를 볼 수 없었으며, 특히 indole은 NADPH : cytochrome C reductase만을 증가시킨데 비하여 구조상 indole에 carbinol (methanol)기가 붙은 indole-3-carbinol은 수종의 mixed function oxidase와 아울러 특히 epoxide hydrolase의 활성도 역시 증가시켰다. 이러한 결과는 benzofuran과 indole-3-carbinol에 의한 epoxide hydrolase 활성도 증가의 기전의 일부를 설명할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

The ginseng growth-promoting bacterium Pseudomonas fluorescens KGPP 207 synthesized indole-3- acetic acid (IAA) from L-tryptophan, indole-3-pyruvic acid (IPyA), and indole-3-acetaldehyde (IAAld), but not from indole-3-acetamide (lAM) and other intermediates of various IAA biosynthetic pathways in the experiment with indole compound supplemented cell suspensions. TLC, HPLC, and GC-MS analyses revealed the presence of IPyA, indole-3-ethanol, indole-3-lactic acid and its methyl ester, IAA and its methyl, and ethyl esters in the culture supernatant of the bacterium. IAAld was detected in the supernatant using sodium bisulfite and TLC. The results indicate that unlike gall-forming bacteria which can synthesize IAA by lAM, the indole-3-pyruvic acid pathway is the route for IAA biosynthesis in this beneficial strain of P. fluorescens.

The naturally occurring indole derivatives in mung bean (Phaseolus vidissinus) sprouts were investigated by means of paper and thin layer chromatographic techniques. The results can be summerized as follows: 1. The mung bean sprouts are richer in free tryptophan than other plant species. 2. Indole ethanol and indole lactic acid were identified. 3. The content of indole ethanol was more than that of indole acetic acid. This result appeared to support the idea that indole ethanol is the storage product of indole acetic acid.

The charge transfer complex formations between indole derivatives and methylviologen were investigated spectroscopically. In aqueous solutions near room temperature, the order of complex stability was tryptamine < tryptophan < indole < indole acetate, which is the reverse order of the magnitude of molar absorptivities. This was interpreted as involvement of contact charge transfer. The decrease of enthalpy of complex formation (-${\Delta}$H) was highest in tryptamine, and lowest in indole acetate. ${\Delta}$H and entropy of complex formation (${Delta}$S) varied nearly in a linear fashion with isokinetic temperature $242^{\circ}$K. These results were attributed to the hydration-dehydration properties of the side chains in indole derivatives. Except indole acetate, the complex formations were greatly enhanced by the addition of sodium dodecyl sulfate(SDS). However, the direct relationship between the enhanced complex formation and SDS micelle formation was not found. The enhanced charge transfer interaction inSDS solutions was attributed to the increased ${\Delta}$S by interaction between methylviologen and SDS in premicellar level. The order of complex stability in SDS solutions was indole acetate < tryptophan < trypamine < indole, which reflects the hydrophobicity of indole derivatives as well as electrostatic interaction between indole derivatives and methylviologen associated with SDS.

완두(豌豆) 유묘(幼苗)줄기의 추출물(抽出物)에서 silica gel column chromatography, TLC, HPLC 등으로 분리(分離)하고 여러 가지 정색반응(呈色反應)을 행한 결과 tryptophan, indole-3-acetaldehyde, IAA, indole-3-aldehyde를 확인(確認)할 수 있었다. 여기서 확인(確認)된 indole화합물(化合物)들을 근거(根據)로 볼 때 완두유묘(豌豆幼苗)에는 tryptophan${\rightarrow}$(?)${\rightarrow}$indole-3-acetaldehyde${\rightarrow}$IAA${\rightarrow}$indole-3-aldehyde로 이어지는 대사계(代謝系)가 존재(存在)할 수 있음을 추정(推定)할 수 있었다. 한편, IAA-당(糖) 복합체(複合體)로써 IAA-rhamnose와 IAA-glucose가 완두 유묘에 분포함을 잠정적으로 확인하였다.

Indole and its derivatives form a class of toxic recalcitrant environmental pollutants, Abacte-rium, strain KL-9 was isolated from soil with indole as a sole source of carbon and nitrogen. KL-9 was identified as Acinetobacter sp. on the basis of 16 S rRNA gene sequence, fatty acid and quinone compositions. This identification was also confirmed by the ability of carbon source utilization and other biochemical tests. The growth of Acinetobacter sp. KL-9 was fastest with 0.3mg/ml of indole as was inhibited by higher than 0.5mg/ml of indole in the medium, KL-9 with indole also produced indigo. The formation of indigo was stimulated inthe presence of glucose, which is not a growth-suppoting carbon source for KL-9. Additional biotransformation evidence showed that anthranilate is an intermediate for the degradation of indole KL-9.

Biosynthesis of indole-3-acetate (IAA) from L-tryptophan via indole-3-pyruvate pathway requires three enzymes including aminotransferase, indole-3-pyruvate decarboxylase, and indole-3-acetate dehydrogenase. To establish a bio-based production of IAA, the aspC, ipdC, and iad1 from Escherichia coli, Enterobacter cloacae, and Ustilago maydis, respectively, were expressed under control of the tac, ilvC, and sod promoters in C. glutamicum. Cells harboring ipdC produced tryptophol, indicating that the ipdC product is functional in this host. Analyses of SDS-PAGE and enzyme activity revealed that genes encoding AspC and Iad1 were efficiently expressed from the sod promoter, and their enzyme activities were 5.8 and 168.5 nmol/min/mg-protein, respectively. The final resulting strain expressing aspC, ipdC, and iad1 produced 2.3 g/l and 7.3 g/l of IAA from 10 g/l L-tryptophan, respectively, in flask cultures and a 5-L bioreactor.

Indole은 미생물에 강한 독성을 가지고 있으므로 indole의 생물학적 전환이 어려우므로 단지 소수의 미생물들이 Indole이나 그것의 연관물질들로부터 Indigo와 Indirubin을 생산하는데 응용되어 왔다. 본 연구실에서 분리된 Pseudomonas savastanoi BCNU 106은 toluene에 강한 내성을 가졌으며 P. savastanoi BCNU 106의 Indole 내성 정도는 p-xylene이나 toluene이 배지 부피의 20% 로 첨가되었을 때 160 mg/ml로 매우 높은 내성 정도를 나타내었다. Indole (100 mg/ml) 과 p-xylene (0.2 ml/ml)을 포함한 two-phase culture system에서 자란 P. savastanoi BCNU 106은 indole로부터 푸른색 indigo나 보라색 indirubin의 미생물학적 전환을 보여주었다. indigo와 indirubin의 생산은 P. savastanoi BCNU 106가 적절한 농도의 유기용매가 중층된 two-phase system에서 자랐을 경우에만 형성되었다. 그러므로 본 연구는, 분리된 indole 내성 세균이 유기용매하에서 indirubin과 같은 산업적 가치를 가진 유용물질을 생산하는데 응용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
