Fermented feed using rice, barley, wheat, and defatted rice brans as the raw materials were prepared by 3 species of wild yeasts which were selected among 35 strains of yeasts isolated, and their analytical values were examined. The results were as follows : 1. The three yeasts were identified as H.amomala var. anomala (No.225), Candida utilis (No.400), and Irpex-cellulase(consors) (no.403-A). 2. The optimum pH, and sugar concentration of these yeasts in liquid culture were pH 5.0 and Bllg. 10.deg. each. The optimum temperature was 30.deg.C for No.225 and No.403-A, 25.deg.C for No.400. The No.225 and No.403-A grow at higher temperature than 37.deg.C and 40.deg.C each. 3. The No.225 yeast had a large vegetative cell and strong sugar fermentability. The No.225 and 403-A could assimilate cellobiose, xylose, $KNO_2$ and $KNO_3$. These properties were fit for bran fermentation. 4. The No.403-A microorganism was a yeast-like microbe and showed cellulase activity which might help the propagation of other yeasts on the brans. 5. The analytical data of fermented feed indicated the following order of usable value ; rice-wheat-barley bran 4:4:2, rice-wheat bran 5:5, rice-barley bran 5:5, rice-defatted rice bran 5:5. 6. the fermented feed were prepared by mixing brans, 0.3% ammonium sulfate and 5%(w/w) inoculum of yeast suspension in 4% glucose solution. Water content 70-80%, fermentation temperature 25-30.deg.C, and fermentation time 2-3 days were given. 7. The rice-wheat bran 5:5 and rice-barley bran 5:5 fermented feed showed 11, 17-11.45% protein increase, and the rice-barley-wheat bran 4:4:2 and rice-defatted bran 5:5 showed 3.75-6.03% protein increase. 8. The fermented feed prepared in this experiment by the author might work as a nutritive feed using microbial cell body, enzymes produced by microbes and other microbial cell constituents.

Microspore-derived cell lines resistant to 5-methyltryptophan (5MT, a tryptophan analog) or S-(2-aminoethyl)-L-cysteine (AEC, a Iysine analog) were selected in rice by in vitro mutagenesis. For selection of 5MT or AEC resistant cell lines, suspension-cultured cells were irradiated with gamma rays. Thirteen 5MT resistant cell lines were selected and they were able to grow stably at 2 times higher 5MT concentration. A feedback insensitive form of anthranilate synthesis, the pathway specific control enzyme for tryptophan synthesis, was detected from the 5MT resistant lines. Contents of the free amino acids in five resistant lines (MR12-1 to MR12-5) showed a 7.4 to 46.6 times greater level than that in the control culture. Tryptophan, phenylalanine, and tyrosine levels in the shikimate pathway were 28.1 and 22.5 times higher in MR12-3 and MR12 4, respectively, than that measured in the control cells. Four AEC resistant cell lines were isolated from cultures grown on medium containing 1 mM AEC, They were able to grow stably with 2 mM AEC, while sensitive calli were inhibited by 0.5 mM AEC. Aspartate kinase activities of the resistant lines were insensitive to the natural inhibitor, Iysine, and accumulated 2.2 to 12.9-fold higher levels of free Iysine than that of the control cells. Especially, the levels of aspartate, asparagine, and methionine in the aspartate pathway showed higher accumulation in the AEC resistant lines than that in the control cells.

Transformed rice plantlet were recovered from protoplasts by electroporation with the plasmld pB 1121, which contain the plant expressible NPT-II and GUS genes. Embryonic cell suspension culture was established with embryonic callus induced from mature seeds of rice (Oryza sativa L. cv. Dong-jin) on the MS medium supplemented with 2.0 mg/l 2,4-D, 0.5 mg/l kinetin, 3% sucrose. Protoplasts isolated from embryonic cell suspensions were electroplated and then poterltialty-transformed tissues were selected by growth on the medium containing 200 mg/l kanamycin sulfate. When subjected to GUS assay, they stained blue, indicating the expression of the inserted GUS genes. Plantlets were regenerated from electroplated protoplasts on the hormone free MS medium. Transferred foreign genes in the plants were confirmed by southern hybridization. These results support use of electroporation for transformation of these important cereal plants.

식물세포의 느린 생장과 낮은 생산량의 이유로 지금까지 는 주로 미생물이나 동물세포에서 유전자 재조합 단백질을 생산하여 왔다. 그러나 저렴한 배지 가격, 동물 유래 바이러스 감염 위험성으로부터의 안정성, glycosylation 등의 post-translational modification이 가능하다는 장점들로 인하여 최근 들어 식물세포배양은 생물학적 활성을 가진 고부가가치의 단백질을 생산하는데 많이 이용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 생장배지에 첨가했던 sucrose의 소비와 induction 배지로의 교환에서 오는 배지내의 삼투압을 조절하여 hCTLA4-Ig의 생산성을 높이고자 하였다. 다양한 삼투압 조절제 첨가 실험을 통해 sorbitol을 선별하고, 40 mM의 sorbitol 첨가에서 상대적으로 높은 생존도와 induction 후 7일째 대조구보다 1.7배 높은 생산성을 확인하였다. 또한, 저농도의 glucose 첨가를 통한 생산성 증대에 있어서는 8 mM glucose에서 induction 이후에도 높은 세포농도를 유지하면서 최대 37.3 mg/L까지 hCTLA4-Ig 생산량을 증가시켰다. 5-L bioreactor에서 회분식 배양과 induction시의 hCTLA4-Ig 생산량을 비교한 결과 induction시 배양 18일째 최고 45.3 mg/L까지 높일 수 있었으며, 회분식 배양에 비해 2.1배 증가됨을 확인하였다.

균체 생산성 실험과 chitinase 생산성 실험을 비교해 볼 때, chitinase만을 생산하는 조건 에서는 배지성분에 chitin을 첨가해 주는 것이 좋으나, 해충 방제용으로 살균력을 증진시키기 위하여 균체량과 chitinase의 생성량 및 산업적, 경제적 사용이 용이한 배지를 고려할 때에는 쌀겨와 밀기울이 첨가된 배지가 좋은 배지임을 알 수 있었다. 또한 이 배지를 이용하였을 경우 균체는 1X$10^8$ cfu/g, chitinase는 370mU/g로 생산되었으며 생물검정결과 53-64%의 탁월한 살충효과를 확인 할 수 있었다.

Human cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4-immunoglobulin (hCTLA4Ig), an immunosuppressive agent, was expressed in transgenic rice cells using RAmy3D promoter and RAmy1A signal peptide for the inducible production and secretion into culture media by sugar depletion. In this study, sodium butyrate was used as a small molecular enhancer (SME) to enhance the production of hCTLA4Ig in transgenic rice cell suspension cultures. When 1 mM sodium butyrate was added in sugar-free media, relative viability was not reduced, while the productivity was improved 1.3-fold. In addition, by supplementing 87 mM sodium pyruvate as an alternative energy source during the production phase, death rate of the cells was decreased. When sodium pyruvate was not added, most cells became dead at day 6. However, by adding sodium pyruvate, 18% of viability can be maintained until day 10 and the production of hCTLA4Ig was enhanced 1.4-fold. When the combination of sodium pyruvate and sodium butyrate at optimum concentrations was added, the highest viability and hCTLA4Ig production could be obtained. The highest level of hCTLA4Ig reached up to 35 mg/L at day 10.

IL-18. formerly known as IGIF(interferon -gamma inducing factor), is structurally IL-l related but functionally IL-12 related pro-inflammatory cytokine. The human IL -18(hIL-lS), like IL-$1{\beta}$, is synthesized as a biologically inactive precursor of 24kDa lacking a signal peptide, and then cleaved into an active mature form by cystein protease IL-$1{\beta}$ converting enzyme (ICE: caspase- 1), We tested if the mature hIL -18 can be expressed and secreted into culture medium by transforming the forming gene construct consisting of a mature hIL-18 gene fused to signal peptide of rice amylase lA. Secondly, we were tested if the pro- IL-18 could be processed into a biologically active form by caspase-l like protease in plant. Cell suspension culture was established from the leaf-derived calli of transgenic tobacco plant. Southern and Northern blot analysis indicated the expression of both pro-hIL-18 and mature hIL-18 plant cells. Western blot analysis introduced the protein products of pro- hIL -18 and mhIL -18 were observed in transigenic cell lines. In addition, the molecular size of recombinant pro-hILl-18 and mhIL-18 were estimated to be 24kDa and 18kDa, respectively. ELISA revealed that the amount of pro- hIL -18 was 1.3ug per gram of fresh weight calli. Moreover, the presence of mhIL-18 was detected in the culture medium and it appeared to be 25ug/L.

Recombinant human granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (hGM-CSF) is a glycoprotein and hematopoietic growth factors that regulates the proliferation of myeloid precursor cells and activates mature granulocytes and macrophages. In a previous study, we reported that hGM-CSF could be produced in transgenic rice cell suspension culture, termed rhGM-CSF. In the present study, we examined the repeated dose toxicity of rhGM-CSF in SD rats. The repeated dose toxicity study was performed at each dose of 50 and 200 ${\mu}g/kg$ subcutaneous administration of rhGM-CSF everyday for 28-days period. The results did not show any changes in food and water intake. There were also no significant changes in both body and organ weights between the control and the tested groups. The hematological and blood biochemical parameters were statistically not different in all groups. These results suggest that rhGM-CSF may show no repeated dose toxicity in SD rats under the conditions.

Transgenic rice cells using RAmy3D promoter can provide high productivity, and the production of recombinant protein is induced by sugar starvation. In this system, productivity was reduced during the scale-up processes. To ensure the influences of shear stress and oxygen transfer rate, working volume and mixing performances were investigated under various agitation speeds and working volumes. In addition, inoculation methods including suspended cells and filtered cells were compared. Working volumes and shaking speeds were 300, 450 mL and 80, 120 rpm, respectively. Hydrodynamic environment of each condition was measured numerically like mixing time and $k_La$. Good mixing performance and high shear stress were measured at high agitation speed and low volume. The highest level of hCTLA4Ig was 30.7 mg/L at 120 rpm, 300 mL. When conditioned medium was used for inoculation, increased cell growth was noticed during the day 0~4 and decreased slower than filtered cells. Compared with filtered cells, the maximum hCTLA4Ig level reached 37.8 mg/L at 120 rpm, 300 mL and lower protease activity level was observed. In conclusion mixing performance is critical factor for productivity and conditioned medium can have a positive effect on damaged cells caused by hydrodynamic shear stress.
