원형질체 융합을 통하여 육성한 killer 효모 융합주 FWKS 260 의 killer toxin 을 ammonium sulfate fractionation, Amicon PM 10 concentration, Sephadex G-200 및 Sephadex G-75 column chromatography 를 행하여 정제한 결과 단일 단백질 band 를 보여 순수하게 정제되었음을 알 수 있었고, 단백질 분해효소를 처리한 결과 killer 활성이 소실되어 killer toxin 의 단백질 부분이 killer 활성을 나타냄을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 이 toxin 은 20.deg.C 에서는 거의 안정하였으나, 온도가 증가함에 따라 점차 활성이 소실되었고, pH 2.0-5.0 에서 비교적 안정하였다. 한편, SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis 결과 분자량은 약 13.000 임을 알 수 있었고, SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis 를 행한 후 Schiffs reagent 로 염색한 결과 붉은 단일 band 를 보여 정제된 killer toxin 은 glycoprotein 임을 확인 할 수 있었다.

재래식 메주로부터 생리 기능성의 우수한 효모를 분리하여 이들을 발효산업에 이용하고자 전국 각지의 재래식 메주에서 분리한 47주의 효모중 killer 감수성 균과 장류의 가스 생성 효모에 대하여 killer 활성이 강한 S-13 효모를 선발하여 동정한 후 killer toxin 생산 최적 조건을 검토하였다. S-13의 형태학적, 배양학적 및 생리학적 특성 등을 조사한 결과 Hansenula capsulata로 추정되었고 H. casulata S-13 을 YEPD 배지(pH 4.5)에 접종하여 $25^{\circ}C$에서 36시간 대수기 말기까지 배양하였을때 가장 많은 killer toxin이 생성되었다. 또한, H. capsulata S-13은 재래식 메주에서 분리된 Saccharomyces spp. OE-2 등 7주의 메주 효모와 S. cerevisiae 등 3주의 발효산업 관련 효모에 대하여 Killer 활성을 보였다.

본 연구에서는 발효식품의 저장기간을 연장하거나 이상발효를 방지하기 위해 미생물 유래의 천연 항균성 물질인 killer toxin 생산 균주인 K3, K5, K11, K12, K15를 전통누룩으로부터 분리하였다. 분리된 killer toxin 생산 균주 중 식중독의 원인균인 Salmonella Typhimurium 및 장염비브리오의 원인균인 Vibrio parahaemolyticus의 생육을 저해하며, killer toxin 활성이 가장 우수한 K15를 최종 선발하고 이를 Biolog사 동정시스템과 ITS영역의 염기서열 homology를 조사하여 동정한 결과, Pichia anomala에 99% 상동성을 나타내어 Pichia anomala K15로 명명하였다. P. anomala K15가 생산하는 killer toxin은 단백질 분해효소에 의해 불활성화 되므로 인체에서 단백질 분해효소에 의해 쉽게 분해가 가능한 안전한 항균물질임을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 p. anomala K15는 에탄올 내성은 약하나 고농도의 당에서 저항성이 크므로 주조 발효초기 환경에서의 이상발효를 방지할 수 있을 것으로 사료되어진다.

Killer yeast, Hansenular capsulata S-13 were treated with heat, ethylmethane sulfonate and N-methyl-n'-nitro-n-nitrosoguanidine and a mutant(S13-E1), showing 2-fold higher killer toxin activity than that of parent strain to killer sensitive strain, Saccharomyces cerevisiae ATCC 38026 was obtained. Hansenular capsulata S13-E1 showed strong killer toxin activity to Saccharmyces mellis and Saccharomyces sal년 and four strains of gas-producing yeasts from traditional Doenjang and Kochujang. The culture condition for killer toxin production by Hansenular capsulata S13-E1 was optimized to be 1.0% potato extract, each 0.5% of peptone and glucose, and 0.025% MgSO4 with initial pH 4.5 at 3$0^{\circ}C$ and 36 hr of batch cultivation.

Ten strains out of about 1,000 yeast strains isolated from byproducts of alcoholic industries, milk products, fruits, greens, food-related industries and soils of nature, revealed the killer activities. Two strains which have excellent killer activities among them were isolated and identified with Saccharomyces cerevisiae B 15-1 and Hansenula anomala Y 33 by investigation of the morphological, cultural and physiological properties. The optimal conditions on these strains for the production of killer toxin were investigated. The strain B 15-1 showed the highest killer toxin activities when it was cultured up to the log phase of 48 hr in YPD medium (pH 4.7) at $25^{\circ}C$. On the other hand, the strain Y33 revealed the highest activities when it was cultured up to the stationary phase of 60 hr in YPD medium (pH 4.0) at $20^{\circ}C$. The sensitive strain Kyokai 7 was found to be killed entirely by the killer toxin produced from the wild killer yeast B 15-1 when B 15-1 was cocultured with the same cell concentration ($10^{6}$ cells/ml) of Kyokai 7 after cultivation of 36 hr, and with large concentration ($9\times 10^{7}$ cells/ml) after 48 hr.

Among 120 U. maydis strains isolated in Korea 14 different strains containing specific viral dsRNA segments were analyzed for the distribution of dsRNA and the production of toxin protein. Several distinctive dsRNA patterns were identified, 9 cases of P type with typical H, M and L ds RNA and one case of non-P-type, the frequency of a specific isolate was decreased with increasing number of dsRNA segments. The presence of dsRNA had no effect on the cultural or morphological phenotype of the host. Two isolates containing P type dsRNA segments appeared to produce toxin protein (killer strains) which inhibited the growth of 4 isolates (sensitive strain) with different susceptibility. Two killer strains contain unique M dsRNA segment which may code for toxin protein. However, the presence of toxin-sensitive strains among dsRNA-free isolates was similar to that of ds RNA containing strains.

포도에서 분리하여 동정한 Candida dattila K109와 K112 균주는 Kluyveromyces, Hansenula, Debaryomyces, Torulopsis, Brettanomyces속 효모에 대해 killer 활성을 가졌으며, 이들 균주의 최적 pH는 3.9-4.0이고, 최적 온도는 22-26$^{\circ}C$였다. Candida dattila K109와 K112 균주의 toxin은 단백질 분해효소인 pronase E와 pepsin에 의한 killer 활성이 없어졌으며, 2$0^{\circ}C$에서는 비교적 안정하였으나 $25^{\circ}C$ 이상에서는 killer 활성이 급격히 감소하였으며, pH 2.0-4.0 범위에서 비교적 안정하였고 그 이상의 pH에서는 급격히 활성이 저하되었다. 이들 균주의 killer toxin은 gel filtration에 의하여 단백질과 당을 확인하였다. Candida dattila K109와 K112 균주는 0.0105-0.3ppm cycloheximide 처리에 의하여 처리농도가 놓을 수록 killer 활성이 소멸되는 비율이 증가하였으며, 30-37$^{\circ}C$의 가온처리에 의하여 killer활성이 소멸되지 않는 등 기존의 killer 효모의 특성과 다소 다른 특성을 나타내었다.

The yeast Williopsis californica was shown to secrete a unique broad-spectrum killer toxin (Wicaltin) with antifungal activity against 14 yeast genera, including yeast-like and mycelial forms of the human pathogens Candida albicans and Sporothrix schenkii. Agar diffusion bioassays indicated that its activity was more pronounced than the antifungal potential of frequently used antimycotics; 0.07 pmol Wicaltin showed the same toxicity as 0.2 pmol miconazole and 29 pmol clotrimazole. Since the toxin's primary target would appear to be the yeast cell wall, Wicaltin may be attractive in combatting clinically relevant yeast and fungal infections.

Foreign proteins, $endo-{\beta}-1,4-glucanase$ of Bacillus subtilis, preS1+S2 region of hepatitis B virus large surface antigen, human ${\beta}_2-adrenergic$ receptor ($h{\beta}_{2}AR$), and bovine growth hormone (bGH) were expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and secreted into the medium. These proteins were expressed using the alcohol dehydrogenase I (ADH1) promoter of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and secreted by signal sequence of the 97 K killer toxin gene of doublestranded linear DNA plasmid (pGKL1) of S. cerevisiae. All these proteins underwent severe modifications; in particular, N-glycosylation in the case of $endo-{\beta}-1,4-glucanase$, $h{\beta}_2AR$, and preS1+S2. Seventy four percent of the expressed $endo-{\beta}-1,4-glucanase$ was secreted into the culture medium. Highly modified proteins were detected in the culture medium and in the cell. Expressed $h{\beta}_2AR$, which has seven transmembrane domains, remained in the cell. The degrees of secretion and modification and the states of proteins in the culture medium and in the cell were quite different. These results indicated that the nature of the protein has a critical role in its secretion and modifications.

Toxin protein from Ustilago maydis virus SH14 isolated in Korea was purified using ethanol precipitation, cation exchange, gel filtration and anion exchange chromatography. The molecular weight of the purified protein was estimated to be 8.3 kDa by SDS-PAGE analysis. The Nterminal sequence of the protein is L-G-I-N-C(K)-R-G-S-S-Q--C(K)-G-L-S-G which is highly homologous with that of P4 toxin, but the amino acid composition and electrophoretic mobility in a native PAGE of the toxin protein were totally different from those of P4 toxin respectively. The SH14 toxin was shown to have immunological cross-reactivity about 50% with P4 toxin when examined by Western hybridization.
