It is proposed the polyacrylamide gel, instead of agar, could be used for the solid cultures of microorganisms including Streptomyces strains. Polymerization and gellation of 5% acrylamide solution were done by autoclaving for 5 min at 121.deg.C and no hindered by the addition of nutrient-rich media. In particular, pH buffer solution suitable for corresponding microorganisms must be used in the preparation of culture media. Comparing with agar, it was discussed that polycrylamide gel had many advantages such as gellation within the wide range of strong acid Carbon and Nitrogen sources, requirement tests of growth factors and minerals, sterization at high temperature, diffusion assays of products depending on the pore size of gel, and stability and standarization of microbial cultures.

The whole proteins from 10 different Saccharomyces species were separated by isoelectric focusing, which was carried out in pH gradient polyacrylamide gels with the carrier ampholytes of various pH ranges. About 25 protein bands were found in the gel using pH 3.0-10.0 carrier ampholytes. In gel using pH 4.0-7.0 carrier ampholytes, the protein band of pI 6.3 was found in Sacch. cerevisiae NCYC 478, ATCC 26787, Sacch. rosei and Sacch. uvarum, but it was absent in Sacch. cerevisiae ATCC 24903, ATCC 42949, ATCC 36029, Sacch. steineri var hara, Sacch. bayanus, and Sacch. diastaticus.

By using whole cells of Leuconostoc oenos ML-34 immobilized in polyacrylamide gel, deacidification of grape juice and wine was attempted. The immobilization did not destroy the original malo-lactic fermentation ability of the cells. However, the speed of malic acid decomposition by the immobilized cells was slow due to the slow transportation of the substrate through the gel layer. By reducing malic acid content in grape juice to a desired degree one may control the level of acid taste in wine fermented with the treated grape juice.

Six species of false spider mites were collected and ciassifled in South Korea. Among them, a taxonomic description was carried out on the following four species new to Korea: 1. Aegyptobia nothus Pritchard and Baker, 2. Pentomerismus taxi (Hailer), 3. P. oregonensis McGregor, 4. Brevipalpus lewisi McGregor. And also esterase and alkaline phosphatase patterns obtained by polyacrylamide slab gel electrophoresis were compared on some spades. Esterase rymogram showed difference among species in band number and mobility.

Seeds or beans of 55 plants belonging to 31 families were screened by using several different types of red blood cells to find new lectins. In this paper, white kidney been (phaseolus vulgaris C.) was chosen to study biochemical properties of hemagglutinating proteins(lectins). An anion exchanger, DEAE Sephadex A-50, and polyacrylamide disc gel electrophoresis were main techniques used. From three main fractions eluted by stepwise NaCl gradient in 25mM Tris-HCI buffer on DEAE Sephadex column, principal lectin was identified.

For the preliminary step to make and characterize the monoclonal antibodies of human alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) was purified from 534g of human fetal tissues through the procedures of tissue extraction, DEAE-cellulose, concanavalin A-Sepharose, Cibacron Blue F3GA-agarose and immunoadsorbent affinity chromatography. The isolated AFP preparation showed a single band on polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and a single precipitin are against rabbit anti-human cord serum and anti-human AFP on immunoelectrophoresis. Our AFP also displayed a single band on SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The recovery of AFP was 8.76mg total.

- The cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase) of a mutant of Bacillus stearothermophilus was purified in one step by affinity chromatography. The recovery was 95%. The specific activity of the CGTase increased from 26.2 U/mg protein to 485.5 U/mg protein. The purified CGTase was almost homogeneous by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The one-step purification proved to be feasible with the mutant in contrast to the parent strain, which required pre-purification step of ammonium sulfate precipitation.

Alkaline protease producing bacteria were isolated from soil and identified as Bacillus sp. CW-1121. It was found that the production of alkaline protease reached to maximum in 5 day of fermentation at 4$0^{\circ}C$. The enzyme was purified by ammonium sulfate precipitation, gel filtration on Sephadex G-150 and DEAE-cellulose ion-exchange chromatography. The homogeneity of the purified enzyme was verified by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The enzyme was purified 5.72 fold and yield of the enzyme purification was 16.71%. When the purified enzyme was applied to sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, the molecular weight was estimated to be 55, 000.

Ginseng proteins have been extracted and partially purified by the methods of ammonium sulfate fractionation, heat inactivation and Sephadex G-75 column chromatography. The final three fractions obtained (GI, GII and GIII) were subjected to paper chromatography and SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Molecular weights of polypeptide chains from each fraction were est-mated by the standard line obtained from the plot of electrophoretic mobilities against the logarithm of molecular weights of standard proteins. Results are as follows: 1) GI showed three protein spots and four polypeptides of which M.W. were 63,000, 60,000, 56,000, 51,000 and 34,200. 2) GII showed four protein spots and five polypeptides with their M.W. of 64,600, 56,000, 45,400, 35,800, end 25,200, 3) GIII showed three protein spots and four polypeptides with their M.W. of 66,000, 63,000, 56,000 and 22,000.

Acid mucopolysaccharides were isolated from nucleus pulposus of whale embryo. The separation of acid mucopolysaccharides was most excellent in $0.03{\%}$ hexamine cobaltic chloride in 0.05 M-sodium acetate buffer solution at pH 4.8. Changes in electrophoretic mobility of acid mucopolysaccharides were observed when the sample solution on top of spacer gel were covered with $40{\%}$ sucrose solution. This effect was not observed by the addition of hexamine cobaltic chloride to the buffer solution.
