The production of polysaccharide according to various developmental stages(mycelium growth, primordium appearance, and fruiting-body formation) in the edible mushroom Grifola frondosa was studied. The cap of the mature mushroom showed the highest amount of polysacchride. Mycelial growth and polysaccharide synthesis were optimal at pH 5 and $20^{\circ}C$. Polysaccharide synthesis was maximal after 12 days of cultivation, whereas maximum mycelial growth was shown after 18 days. Mannose, cellobiose and starch increased the level of polysaccharide as well as growth in submerged culture. Glucose and sucrose appeared to be good substrates for fruiting of Grifola frondosa.

The purpose of this study is to estimate the applicability of a stable anaerobic digester using a separator membrane to the preprocessing thickening process. The results of the experiments showed about a 47.16% weight loss rate for the sludge under anaerobic condition, and about 41.17% under intermittent aeration condition. The concentrations of rejection water were $SCOD_{Cr}$ 25 mg/L, T-N 16.6 mg/L, and T-P 1.4 mg/L on the average under the intermittent aeration condition, which were lower than the concentrations of rejection water under an anaerobic condition. As for the factors affecting the reduction of the flux, correlation analyses of TTF, MLSS, $SCOD_{Cr}$, and $EPS_{Protein}$, $EPS_{Polysacchride}$ resulted in -0.97, -0.95, -0.84 and -0.86, -0.95, respectively, which showed that TTF had the highest correlation to the reduction of the flux. In addition, it was concluded that MLSS, $SCOD_{Cr}$ and $EPS_{Protein}$, $EPS_{Polysacchride}$ also have close correlations. The results are considered to show that, in the case of the process using a tubular membrane in the preprocessing process of an anaerobic digester, an intermittent aeration condition of the thickener considering the contamination of the membrane and load of rejection water is appropriate for the stable preprocessing process.

For the efficient production of a new exo-polysaccharide from Ganoderma lucidum ASI 7004, the optimum conditions and methods in submerged cultivation were investigated with an airlift fermenter system. The optimum aeration rate was 2.5 Wm at the initial pH 5.0 and 28$^{\circ}C$. The increase of dissolved oxygen concentration by pure oxygen supply during cultivation did not improved the exo-polysaccaride production and the mycelial growth. The maximum exo-polysaccharide production and the mycelial growth under the optimum culture condition were obtained in media of glucose 60g/L, yeast extract 6g/L, (NH4)2HPO4 1g/L and KH2PO4 0.5g/L. Under these optimum medium and culture conditions, about 7.15g/L of exo-polysaccharide and 13.9g/L of mycelial growth were producted, respectively.

A neutral polysaccharide, GP, was isolated from a fermentation broth of Ganoderma lucidum Acid hydrolysis and a paper chromatography analysis indicated that the polysacchride was composed of glucose, xylose, and mannose. The molecular weight was estimated to be $2.9{\times}10^4$. The oral administration of GP to mice showed that it can inhibit liver damage induced by GalN and $CCl_4$.

Restriction enzyme inhibiting substance (REIS) extracted from spinach chloroplast and Chlamydomonas seems not to be proteinaceous, because its inhibiting activity was not lost by heat or trypsin treatment. And it seems not to be lipid or polysacchride, because its inhibiting activity was not lost by lipase or $\alpha$-amylase treatment, respectively. In Chlamydomonas, putrescine, spermidine and spermine were present. The amount of putrescine was the smallest and that of spermie was the greatest. But only spermine was contained in REIS and the activity of REIS. It was proportional to the amount of spermine in REIS and it was hindered by Na+ ion. So, the inhibiting activity of REIS seems to be deeply related to spermine contained in REIS. But restriction enzyme inhibiting activity remained to the some extent although salts and spermine were eliminated by dialysis.

In order to investigate the immunomodulatory mechanism of Ganoderma lucidum, the effects of protein-bound polysacchride of Ganoderma lucidum on the proliferation and cytokine gene expression of mouse peritoneal macrophages was studied. In the macrophage proliferation assay using the BrdU labeling reagent, the GLA component extracted from Ganoderma lucidum or GLB from the bud of Ganoderma lucidum were added to the medium at the concentration of 0 to 256ug/ml. DNA synthesis of the macrophage was increased at 16ug/ml of GLA and 64ug/ml of GLB, respectively. In the reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR), the cytokine(TNF, IL-1, and IL-12) gene and $\beta$-actin expression were also analyzed. 20$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml of either GLA or GLB increased TNF and IL-1 expression of the macrophages.

The crude polysaccharide from Panax ginseng prepared by hot water extration and precipiation with ethanol was further fractionated into neutral and acidic fractions by DEAE- cellulose ion exchange chromatography. The chemical compositions were 85.0% carbohydrorate and 15.0% protein for the neutral fraction, and 28.4% carbohydrate, 10.0% protein and 29.0% uronic acid for the acidic fraction. The acidic fraction was more effective in increasing of the ratio of spleen to body weight, the number of antibody secreting cells to SRBC and phagocytic activity of reticuloendothelial system, as well as antitumor activity against the solid form of sarcoma 180 in ICR mice than the neutral fraction. All polysaccharide fractions were mitogenic to cultured spleen cells of C57BL/6 mice. However, FA was different from FN in the co-mitogenicities with lectin mitogens. Both crude and acidic fractions potentiated remarkably the mitogenic activity of PHA-P or LPS in dose-dependent manner but neutral fraction enhanced only that of LPS. Three polysaccharide fractions had no effect on that of Con A. These results suggest that the acidic fraction may stimulate B and Td cells as well as macrophages while the neutral fraction may simulate only B cells and macropages.

We have been isolating various physiologically active substances from non-saponin fraction of Korean Red Ginseng. These are adenosine, pyre-glutamic acid, dencichine and acidic polysaccharide. Adenosine and pyre-glutamic acid are known to inhibit epinephrine-induced lipolysis in fat cells and stimulate the insulin-mediated lipogenesis. In addition to these actions, adenosine was found to inhibit both norepinephrine- and histamine-induced aorta constriction, and pyre·glutamic acid inhibits angiotensin-converting enzyme. Dencichine stimulated histamine-induced aorta constriction. Finally, acidic polysaccharide was found to inhibit both lipolytic and anorexigenic actions of Toxohormone-L. Based on these experimental results, I presented a briefreview on these compounds isolated from non-saponin fraction of Korea Red Ginseng.

The capsule that surrounds Yersinia pestis cells is composed of a protein-polysacchride complex; the purified protein component is fraction I (F1) antigen. We report the cloning of the cafl gene and its expression in Escherichia coli using the vector pETl02/D-TOPO and the F1-specific monoclonal antibody. The recombinant F1 (rF1) antigen had a molecular size of 17.5 kDa, which was identical to that of the F1 antigen produced by Y. pestis. Recombinant F1 protein was found to react to polyclonal antiserum to Y. pestis Fl. Recombinant F1 was purified by ProBond purification system and induced a protective immune response in BALB/c mice challenged with up to 10$^5$ virulent Y. pestis. Purified rF1 protein was used in an ELISA to evaluate the ability of a method to detect antibodies to Y. pestis in animal sera. These results strongly indicated that the rF1 protein is a suitable species-specific immunodiagnostic antigen and vaccine candidate.

수산계 폐기물로부터 chitin 유도체의 다양한 응용에도 불구하고 chitin 의 상업적 이용은 적절한 용매의 부재와 화학적 제한성으로 인하여 제한적으로 이용되었다. 그러므로 Mima의 방법을 응용하여 NaOH 농도, 반응시간, 온도 등을 조절하여 탈아세틸화반응에 의한 다양한 점도가 다른 chitosan을 제조하였으며, 2종의 각Y제를 이용하여 가교결합에 의한 결정성을 증가시킨 가교 chitosan을 제조하였따. 제조한 점도가 다른 chitosan과 가교 chitosan 유도체를 다양한 분석기기를 이용하여 측정하였다. chitosandmf 제조시 반응시간을 높이거나 반응온도를 높이면 탈아세틸화는 높아지나 분자사슬의 크기, 즉 점도와 분자량은 감소하였다. 반응온도, 반응시간과 알칼리 농도에 따라 활용분야에 맞은 chitosan을 제조할수 있다.
