We investigated the optimum conditions for conversion of water-insoluble components of basidiocarps of Ganoderma lucidum to water-soluble components by hydrolyzing with chitinase. We also tried it with Ganoderma luciclum residue remaining after extracting hot water-soluble components of Ganoderma lucidum. After hydrolyzing under optimum conditions (20 ppm chitinase, 2% Ganoderma lucidum or 6% Ganoderma lucidum residue, at pH 3 and at $ 35^{\circ}C$), the contents of total water-soluble components (polysaccharide or protein) were measured, and it was found that the contents of water-soluble components increased to 1.5-2.7 fold. Michaelis constant, $K_m$ and maximum rate, $V_max$ calculated by Lineweaver-Burk plot for hydrolysis of Ganoderma lucidum were 1.75% and 0.02%/min respectively and those for hydrolysis of Ganoderma lucidum residue were 53.15% and 0.53%/min respectively The protein-bound polysaccharide was isolated after hydrolysis and molecular weights were measured by Sepharose CL-4B gel filtration and compared with the molecular weights of polysaccharide before hydrolysis.

Insoluble phosphate-solubilizing bacteria are routinely screened by a plate assay method using Pikovskaya agar and a modified Pikovskaya medium. A modified Pikovskaya medium to improve the clarity of the yellow-colored halo has not necessarity improved the plate assay. Colonies of phosphate-solubilizing bacteria tested could be redily selected after 48 h of incubation by green-colored colony formation on plate in which bromcresol green(BCG) was included. Among them, two bacterial strains did not produce distinct yellow halos after 48 h of incubation. We suggest that the green colony formation on plate medium containing BCG is advantageous ofr rapid isolating phosphate-solubilizing bacteria directly from soil.

This report was investigate the biological characteristic of $\delta$-endotoxin of product by TH109 strain, one strain TH109 which has toxicity on Cockroach is isolate and identification. Generally the $\delta$-endotoxin of product by 3. thuringiensis strain was easily soluble in acid, alkaline and organic solvents but $\delta$-endotoxin of product by TH109 strain are insoluble in HCI, NaOH Thiol- reagent(25mM Dithiotheritol, 25mM Dithioeryritol, 25mM Nathioglycolate, 0.2M ESCN, 2% v/v $\beta$-mecaptethanol), organic solvents( acetone, $CCI_{4}$, ether, dioxin MeOH chloroforrh xylene ), Protease. Through this study of $\delta$-endotoxin produced by TH109 strain is insoluble in acid, alkaline, organic solvents and pretense etc. In the point of view, it is greater possibility that $\delta$-endotoxin will be transform into toxin by the reducible materials instead of the reaction of protease in the intestine.

A fungus with high phosphate solubilizing activites was isolated from soil using potato dextrose agar-calcium phosphate medium and identified to Penicillium sp. PS-113, based on the morphological characteristics of conidiophore and conidia; flask shape of phialide, simple branching type of conidiophore, and columnar shape of conidial head, in malt extract agar and potato dextrose agar media. The optimum temperature ad initial pH to solubilize rock phosphate in potato dextrose broth-rock phosphate medium were 30$^{\circ}C$ and pH 8.0, respectively. In these conditions phosphate solubilizing activities of Penicillium sp. PS-113 against four types of insoluble phosphate like tricalcium-phosphate, aluminium phosphate, hydroxyapatite and rock phosphate were quantitatively determined. As results, this fungus highly produced free phosphates to the culture broth with the concentrations of 1,283 ppm against tricalcium-phosphate, 585 ppm against rock phosphate, 528 ppm against aluminium phosphate, and 242 ppm against hydroxyapatite, respectively.

The aklavinone 11-hydroxylase which was overexpressed using T7 promoter in E. coli could be detected in SDS-PAGE only in insoluble precipitate without any detectable enzyme activity. The insoluble enzyme was solubilized in 6M guanidine$.$HCl solution and their refolding ability was tested under various conditions. When the enzymatic activity was checked by the bioconversion experiment, stepwise dialysis against 6M, 3M, 1M guanidine$.$HCl and finally 100 mM potassium phosphate buffer of the solubilized protein gave the best bioconversion efficiency. The aklavinone 11-hydroxylase showed its enzymatic activity in the reaction buffer containing NADPH with vigorous shaking. The enzymatic activity was lost during partial purification and regained by the addition of crude extract of S. lividans in the reaction mixture. This effect was confirmed to due to some low-molecular weight component(s) in the crude extract, because the addition of dialyzed crude extract could not recover the enzymatic activity.

A study on the effects of the root components of Angelica koreana Max. on voluntary activity in mice has confirmed that: 1. MeOH soluble Ex., MeOH insoluble Ex., oxypucedanine and isoimperatorin were antagonized against the voluntary activity in mice pretreated with a dose of C.N.B. 30mg/kg. 2. MeOH insoluble Ex. showed higher depressant effect than MeOH soluble Ex.. 3. the depressant activity of oxypucedanine was significantly more effective than that of isoimperatorin.

The copolymmers of N, N-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate(DAEM) and N-arylmethacrylamide (AMA) were prepared, and their photochemical properties as a negative photoresist were studied by the measurements of insoluble fraction, and by UV and IR absorption spectral changes. These copolymers are soluble in DMF, actone, methanol, of acidic buffer solutions. Solubility of these copolymer films in the vuffer solutions increased with the amount of DAEM units in the copolymer and decreased with the pH value. The insoluble fraction of the copolymer films in the buffer solution of pH 4 of in methanol increased with irradiation time and the amount of AMA units in the copolymer. UV and IR spectral changes indicated that not only photo-crosslinking but also the photo-Fries rearrangement took place upon irradiation with a 254nm UV light.

In order to study the scavenging mechanism as a final goal, the characteristics of chemical components in the rain water were examined as a function of the amount of rainfall. The rain drops were collected sequentially with a rainfall interval amount of each 0.1 .sim. 0.5 mm from the beginning of rain. Rain water was separated into the soluble and insoluble components and the concentrations of 15 elements in both components were determined by the PIXE analysis. The elemental cencentrations decreased quickly till about 0.3 .sim. 0.5 mm of rainfall was obtained and then decreased gradually afterward. Fe, Ti, and Si in the aerosol particles caught in rain water were in high insoluble state. In contrast, almost whole of S and Cl were dissolved in rain water.

Maltosyl (G2)-mannitol, produced by the transglycosylation of mannitol with maltotriose by Bacillus stearothermophilus maltogenic amylase, was not found to support lactic acid production by Streptococcus sobrinus NRRL 14555. Furthermore, the synthesis of water-insoluble glucans from maltosyl-mannitol by S. sobrinus NRRL 14555 was much lower than that from xylitol or mannitol. Consequently, these results suggest that maltosyl-mannitol could be used as a noncariogenic sugar substitute in food products.
