Using the Chlorella cells which had been uniformly labeled with $^{32}P$, the distribution of phosphorus in various fractions of cell material was investigated. Uniformly $^{32}P$-labeled Chlorella cells were further grown in a P-free medium, and some protions of the cells were taken out at intervals during the culture, and subjected to analyze the contents of $^{32}P$ in various fractins of the cell constituents. 2. Analysis of the $^{32}P$-labeled Chlorella cells showed that the highest in P-content was the fraction of RNA followed by those of lipid, RNA-polyphosphate complex, acid-insoluble polyphosphate, acid-soluble polyphosphate, DNA and protein. 3. During the culture of $^{32}P$-labeled Chlorella cells in a P-free medium, amounts of phosphate in DNA, protein and lipid fractions increased, while the P-contents in the fraction of RNA-polyphosphate complex decreased as well as those of acid-insoluble polyphosphate and acid-soluble polyphosphate fractions. 4. It was inferred that phosphorus used in the syntheses of DNA and protein was taken from polyphosphates of the cells, and RNA-polyphosphate complex would play an important role as a phosphate pool.

The present study was designed to investigate biosynthetic patterns of polysaccharides under catabolic repression and derepression in Saccharomyces uvarum. Correlation coefficients between polysaccharide synthesis and polyphosphate accumulation were examined, according to the culture phase and under various phosphate concentrations (free, limited, sufficient). During catabolic derepression, biosynthesis of glycogen was enhanced. rapidly and highly in the cells grown on minimal medium, compared with those grown on the complete medium. Acid soluble glycogen type was the main component of total glycogen and alkali soluble glycogen was synthesized in small amount, after 24 hr culture, at the time of almost exhaustion of sugar in the medium. Total glycogen was accumulated highly in proportion to the amount of phosphate added to the medium. It could be postulated that type 'C' isoenzyme among ALPase was directly or indirectly correlated with the glucan synthesis. Mannan synthesis indicated maximal amount at the early exponential phase and stationary phase, and also acid soluble sugars at the stationary phase. Correlation coefficient between the mannan synthesis and poly-p-'C' accumulation, and also between mannan synthesis and phospholipid content indicated 0.866 and 0.726, respectively.

This study was conducted to examine the changes of nutritive substances in the edible potato varieties ('Superior', 'Atlantic', 'Irish Cobbler', 'Dejima') during storage under low temperature condition($4^{\circ}C$, 85-90% RH) from January to May. The items examined in this experiment were moisture, free soluble sugars, starch and vitamin C. The contents of starch and vitamin C decreased with increasing storage period. The rates of decrease in starch and vitamin C contents were high in February and low after that. The contents of moisture and free soluble sugars did not show a constant tendency during storage period. The contents of glucose and fructose were the highest in February and March. Among the four varieties, 'Superior' contained highest vitamin C, free sugar, and moisture, while 'Atlantic' contained the highest starch.

A bioassay-guided fractionation of the whole extract of Viscum album var. coloratum Ohwi (Loranthaceae) led to the isolation of two triterpenoidal components; oleanolic acid (1) and ${\beta}-amyrin$ acetate (2), and a flavonoid, homoflavoyadorinin B (3) as well as large quantity of free fatty acid mixtures as active ingredients of the extract responsible for the antitumoral property. The EtOAc soluble fraction and BuOH soluble fraction of the extract demonstrated a significant inhibition on the proliferation of cultured human tumor cells such as A549 (non small cell lung), SK-OV-3 (ovary), SK-MEL-2 (melanoma), XF498 (central nerve system), and HCT-15 (colon) in vitro, whereas the remaining water soluble fraction exhibited a poor inhibition. The intensive phytochemical investigation of the EtOAc soluble fraction and BuOH soluble fraction of the extract indicated that the oleanolic acid (1) and large amounts of free fatty acid mixtures might be attributed to the in vitro antitumoral property of the whole extract of Viscum album var. coloratum.

The changes in the levels of total soluble protein and some free amino acids were investigated in germinating brown rice. Nongerminated (N) brown rice was germinated for 72 hrs by applying following solutions: 1) distilled water (W), 2) 50 ppm chitosan in 5 mM lactic acid (CL), and 4) 50 ppm chitosan in 5 mM glutamic acid (CG). The level of total soluble protein was higher in the N extract than those of W, CL and CG. Alanine levels were enhanced and aspartic acid levels were decreased significantly in the germinated brown rice, highest increases of alanine were found in the CG germinated brown rice. The levels of serine, decreased during germination in solutions W and CL, were increased significantly by germination in CG solution. The levels of essential amino acids, such as Iysine, isoleucine and methionine were also increased significantly by germination in CG solution. Our results show that the germination of brown rice with CG solution can significantly increase the levels of alanine and some other essential amino acids and can restore the serine level.

This study was made to understand a hypoglycemic action of the fat soluble fraction of Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer in streptozotocin induced diabetic rats by determining the activities of several enzymes related to carbohydrate and lipid metabolism as well as several blood component levels such as glucose and ketone bodies, and non-esterified fatty acids. Albino rats (Sprague Dawley, 170-200g, 3) were injected once with 70mg streptozotocinhg body weight intraperitoneally and fed with ordinary diet for 7 days, and then the fat soluble fraction (5 mg~20 mg/day/rat) was injected intraperitoneally once a day for three days to rats having high blood glucose level over 340 mg/100ml. After a final injection of the fat soluble fraction, rats u.ere starved for 16 hours followed by the analysis of blood serum and liver enzymes. It was found that increased levels of glucose, ketone bodies and free fatty acids in streptozotocin induced rats were decreased appreciably by administration of the fat soluble fraction. However, the amount of administered fat soluble fraction did not show any significantly different hypoglycemic action. Decreased activities of glucokinase, phosphofructokinase, pyruvate kinase, 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase and acetyl CoA carboxylase of the liver of streptozotocin induced diabetic rats were greatly modified suggesting that a hypoglycemic action of the fat soluble fraction was also appreciable as ginseng saponin fraction. We also compared a hypoglycemic action of the fat soluble fraction prepared from American ginseng and Chinese ginseng with that of Korean pain ginseng. 핀o significant difference of the hypoglycemic activity was observed between the above ginseng fat soluble fractions, suggesting that a study of the fat soluble fraction might be one of the most interesting subjects relating to diabetic hyperglycemia in the near future.

This paper was carried out to investigate changes in chromatograms of polysacctatides and soluble pectins on Sephadex G-50 and non-cellulosic neutral sugars of polysaccharides isolated from cell wall of persimmon fruits treated with polygalacturonase and $\beta$-galactosidase in vitro. The chromatogram pattern of soluble pectins extracted from cell wall treated with $\beta$-galactosidase on Sephacryl S-500 column were similar to those of untreatment, but contents of soluble pectins treated with $\beta$-galactosidase were different from those of untreatment. The patterns of chromatograms In soluble pectins extracted from cell wall treated with polygalacturonase were more complex and lower molecular polymer than those of other cell wall-degrading enzyme treatments. Non-cellulosic neutral sugar of polysaccharides in fraction I of soluble material treated with polygalacturonase was rhamnose, those in fraction II were similar to those in fraction III and contents of arabinose, xylose and glucose were higher than contents of other non-cellulosic neutral sugars. Non-cellulosic neutral sugars of polysaccharides in fraction I in soluble material by $\beta$-galactosidase treatment were rhamnose, arabinose, galactose and mannose. Content of glucose of polysaccharides in fraction II was higher than that in fraction I . Non-cellulosic neutral sugars treated with mixed enzyme were rhamnose, fucose, arabinose, xylose, mannose, galactose and glucose. Compositions of non-cellulosic neutral sugars of polysaccharides in fraction I were similar to those in fraction II and III.

The effects of lactose on the formation of casein phosphopeptide (CPP), the increment of soluble calcium and the enhancement of calcium absorption by dietary casein in the intestinal tract were investigated. Rats were fed a lactose-free diet, 10% lactose diet and 30% lactose diet containing powdered milk. In rats receiving a lactose-free powdered milk diet, CPP formation was confirmed by gel filtration of the intestinal content on Sephadex G -25 and the amount of soluble calcium was increased in the small intestine and calcium absorption, measured by the ligated ideal loops in situ was enhanced. However, In rats receiving a powdered milk diet containing 10% lactose or 30% lactose, the similar effects were not seen. These observations indicate that CPP-stimulated effects on soluble calcium and calcium absorption in the small intestine are not dependent upon lactose.
