The aim of the present study was to optimize culture condition for the expression of lipocortin-1$_{1-185}$ in a recombinant of Escherichia coli using batch system. Plasmid (pHT22) carrying lipocortin-1$_{1-185}$ gene was well maintained in the recombinant with the addition of amplicillin as a selection pressures. Optimum temperature was 28$^{\circ}C$ for seed culture and 4$0^{\circ}C$ for main culture and the optimum pH was 7.0. The production of Lipocortin-1$_{1-185}$ was closely associated with cell growth and related to plasmid amplification.

Campylobacter jejuni에 48${\circ}C$의 열충격을 30분간 주었을 때, HSP90, HSP66, HSP60의 열충격 단백질들이 합성되었고, 이 단백질들은 각각 E. coli의 hsp87, HSP66 (DnaK), HSP58(GroEL)에 상응하는 단백질들이었다. 여러가지의 제한효소로 처리한 C. jejuni의 chromosomal DNA에 E. coli의 groEL(4.0kb)을 probe로 사용하여 Southern hybridization한 결과, 이들과 상동성을 가지는 유전자들이 있음을 확인하였다. C. jejuni의 groEL 유전자를 pWE15 cosmid를 이용하여 recombinant plasmid pLC1을 만들고, 이를 E. coli B178 groEL44 ts mutant에 형질전환시켜 E. coli LC1을 얻었다. 이 pLC1에는 groEL 유전자가 존재하는 5.7kb인 insert DNA가 포함되어 있었고, 그로부터 subcloning한 pLC101에는 groEL을 포함하는 4.0kb의 DNA가 삽입되어 있었다. 이 recombinant plasmid들이 형질전환된 E. coli LC1과 LC101 균주에서는 C. jejuni의 GroEL 단백질이 과다 생산되었다. C. jejuni의 groEL이 cloning된 E. coli LC1은 42${\circ}C$에서의 생장능력이 회복되었고, ${\lambda}$ vir phage에 대한 감수성도 회복되는 등의 chaperon 효과가 입증되었다.

Microorganisms capale of utilizing linear alkylbenzene sulfonates(LAS) as sole carbon source were isolated from industrial effluent by using LAS agar plates. The isolated strains were identified as Salmonella sp(BC-2) and Escherichia sp.(BC-3) from the results of morphological, cultural and biochemical tests. The optimal condition for the growth and biodegradation of LAS was the initial pH 7.0 and LAS concentration 0.1%. The isolated BC-2 and BC-3 strains harbored plasmid and LAS-degrading activity was lost when the plasmids were cured by mitomycin C. The plasmids were transformed into E. coli and transformants have the LAS-degrading activity. Isolated strains were examined for primary biodegradation rate of LAS in the medium by methylene blueactive substance(MBAS) method. Of these isolates, BC-2 and BC-3 strains degradated LAS upto 60% and high resistant to CdCl$_{2}$ and HgCl$_{2}$. Isolated strains were sensitive to chloramphenicol, kanamycin, rifampicin, streptomycin and tetracycline but resistant to ampicillin and lincomycin.] Its minimal inhibitory concentration(MIC) for ampicillin was more than 1500 $\mu $g/ml.

From the plasmid pYA300 carring a CMCase of Rhizobium fredii USDA193 plasmid was subcloned into pBluescript II KS(+)/pBluescript II SK(+) vectors and designated pYA500 and pYA600, respectively. Escherchia coli cells transformed with pYA500 porduced the CMCase more than with pYA600. The orientation of the cloned fragment in pBluescript vector had the effect on gene expression in E. coli background. When the 1.7 kb CMCase gene fragment of R. fredii USDA193 was hybridized to EcoRI-digested total DNA from R. meliloti and R. fredii USDA 191 the unique bands hybridized respectively, indicating that some genetic diversity exists in the EcoRI restriction enzyme site for CMCase gene in Rhizobium strains. The optimum pH of enzyme activity was 7 and the optimum temperature of that was nearly 37$\circ$C. The cellulase-minus derivatives of pYA500 were constructed by Tn5 insertional mutation. Among 6000 transconjugants, two mutant plasmids (designated pYA500::Tn5a and pYA500::Tn5b) were detected from the cellulase- negative transconjugants. The product of CMCase gene was analyzed by one dimensional SDS- PAGE of the cell extracts. About 45 kDa protein was considered to be a product of CMCase gene.

Chromosomal DNA fragments of Bacillus sp. YA-14, isolated from soil as a potent $\beta$-xylosidase producing bacterium, were ligated to a vector plasmid pBR322 and used to transfer Escherichia coli HB101 cells. The recombinant plasmid pYXL22 was found to enable the transformants to produce $\beta$-xylosidase. pYXL22 was found to contain the 7.0 kb HindIII DNA fragment originated from the Bacillus sp. YA-14 chromosomal DNA by Southern hybridization. The optimum temperature for the reaction of $\beta$-xylosidase produced by E. coli HB101 (pYXL22) was appeared at 3$0^{\circ}C$. The enzyme was maintained stably up to 4$0^{\circ}C$ when stored 1hr at 4$0^{\circ}C$. The $\beta$-xylosidase was repressed completely by 0.4% (w/v) glucose concentration in E. coli HB101 (pYXL22). The optimum concentration of xylose for the $\beta$-xylosidase production in Bacillus sp. YA-14 was 0.2% (w/v).

The ${\beta}$-galactosidase gene from Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis ATCC 7962 was cloned and its enzymatic properties were characterized, with a view to assessing its potential use as a selection marker in the food-grade cloning vector. Chromosomal DNA from L. lactis subsp. lactis 7962 was cleaved with PstI and ligated into pBR322 for transformation into Escherichia coli TGl. Transformants showing ${\beta}$-galactosidase activity possessed the pBR322 plasmid containing a 10 kilobase (kb) PstI fragment and this plasmid was named pCKL11. The cloned ${\beta}$-galactosidase gene came from the chromosomal DNA of L. lactis subsp. lactis 7962 was confirmed by Southern hybridization. A restriction map of pCKL11 was constructed from the cleavage of both pCKL11 and the purified 10kb insert fraqment. The. optimum pH of the ${\beta}$-galactosidase determined with the E. coli harboring the pCKL11 was 7.0. The optimum temperature was $50^{\circ}C$, while the pI of the enzyme was 7.4. These values were the same as those of the enzyme from the parent strain.

A lactic acid bacterium LAB3113, isolated from traditionally fermented Kimchi was found to produce bacteriocin whose activity was very specific toward lactobacilli and not effective against any other bacteria. Lactobacilli affected by the inhibitory substance included Lactobacillus delbrueckii-lactis, L. johnsonii, L. gsseri, and L. curvatus. Based upon biochemical and physiological characteristics, LAB3113 was classified as Lactococcus lactis, and its bacteriocin was named as lactococcin K3113. Lactococcus lactis. LAB3113 produced bacteriocin at th early stage of growth and the concentration of the bacteriocin did not decrease even after alt stationalry phase. Optimal temperature of bacteriocin production was $25^{\circ}C$ at the initial pH 7.0. Partially purified lactococcin K3113 was completely inactivated by protease, but not affected by lipase, lysozyme and RNase. The bacteriocin was very heat-stable even after autoclaving for 20 min. It was also stable in pH changes, an was not affected by th presence of solvents. lacotococcin K3113 appeared to act in bactericidal mode against L. delbrueckii-lactis ATCC4797. Molecular weight of lactococcin K3113 was calibrated as 10,500 dal by SDS-PAGE an activity staining. Lactococcus lactis LAB3113 had four residential plasmids of 3.7kb, 11.2kb, 15.5kb, and 48kh in molecular sizes. Plasmid profile analysis of mutant strain revealed that 15.5 kb plasmid was re-sponsible for the production of lactococcin K3113 and its immunity to the bacteriocin.
