摘要:
The present invention relates to a novel ice nucleation active Xanthomonas strain and a bacterial ice nucleator comprising the ice nucleation active microorganism which can be applied for food processing and artificial snow making. The present inventors have screened ice nucleation active microorganisms from leaves of crops and plants, and investigated their ice-nucleation activities. As a result, the inventors discovered that a novel microorganism belonging to Xanthomonas campestris has a superior ice-nucleation activity than those of the conventional ice nucleation active microorganisms. Accordingly, the ice nucleation active microorganism of the invention can be used as a potent bacterial ice nucleator for food processing and artificial snow making.

The present invention relates to a method of removing an endotoxin from solution containing basic proteins. More specifically, the method of the present invention comprises the steps of adding the surfactant to solution containing the basic protein obtained from the recombinant microorganism and mixing the resultant, of loading the resultant solution on the cation exchange column, washing the cation exchange column with solution which does not contain surfactant, and eluting the basic protein of interest from the cation exchange column.

The present invention relates to a method for mass production of taxol by semi-continuous culture of Taxus genus plant with a high yield. According to the present invention, taxol can be prepared with a high yield, by employing semi-continuous culture of Taxus genus plant cell, which comprises: (i) inoculating Taxus genus plant cell on a medium containing 1 to 10% (w/v) sugar, and incubating it; and, (ii) transferring 1/10 to 1/2 volume of the culture obtained in the step (i) to a fresh medium and repeating the step (i), adding 1 to 10% (w/v) sugar to the remnant culture and incubating to the time of maximum production of taxol.

The present invention relates to a composition for detecting an infinitesimal quantity of β-1,3-glucan, a preparation method thereof and a diagnostic kit detecting β-1,3-glucan. The composition of the present invention shows phenoloxidase activity by β-1,3-glucan in the presence of calcium ions. Using the composition of the present invention, a sample is gathered from a specimen, the composition of the present invention and calcium ions are added to the sample, and β-1,3-glucan is detected by measuring phenoloxidase activity.
摘要:
The present invention provides a method for mass production of an antimicrobial peptide, which comprises the steps of: constructing a fusion gene containing a first gene encoding a negatively charged acidic peptide having at least two cysteine residues and a second gene encoding a positively charged basic antimicrobial peptide; transforming a host microorganism with an expression vector comprising the fusion gene; cultivating the transformed microorganism to express a fusion peptide containing the acidic peptide and antimicrobial peptide, and, recovering the expressed antimicrobial peptide. In accordance with the present invention, the inhibitory effect of the expressed antimicrobial peptide on the growth of the host microorganism can be dramatically minimized by fusing it with the acidic peptide. Accordingly, antimicrobial peptides can be produced massively from a recombinant microorganism regardless of the kind of the antimicrobial peptides.

The present invention relate to a method to increase the production level of paclitaxel by changing the temperature during the plant cell culture. According to the present invention, the production of the paclitaxel comprises the following procedure: (i) cultivating the Taxus genus plant cells in a medium at ca. 20 to 25° C.; and (ii) when growth of the plant cells has progressed sufficiently, changing the cultivation temperature to ca. 26 to 32° C. to continue the culture. The present invention comprises also the method of increasing the paclitaxel production by inoculating the cells at a high initial concentration and by increasing the saccharide concentration in the medium: According to the present invention, paclitaxel can be mass-produced conveniently and therefore has an industrial application.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a diagnosis method of cancer using SYG972 gene and to the genomic DNA and to a promoter regulating transcription of the gene. Expression of SYG972 gene is greatly reduced in breast cancer cells compared to normal breast cells. Therefore the present invention provides a method of diagnosis method by using the gene of the present invention or its fragments as a probe. SYG972 genomic according to the present invention is composed of 4 exons and 3 introns. Promoter is 3 kb long from the transcription initiating site in the 5′ direction. SYG972 genomic DNA and promoter can be used to design and screen drugs to promote or to inhibit apoptosis and differentiation of cells, especially to screen drugs to treat cancer, a disease wherein cell growth and differentiation is abnormal.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a novel use of histone and provides a pharmaceutical composition containing histone as an active ingredient to improve the symptoms of progressive, inflammatory and autoimmune arthritis. The pharmaceutical composition of the present invention includes histone, especially histone H1 as an active ingredient, and could include pharmacologically approved carriers if necessary. Histone H1 lowered induction of arthritis and reduced arthritis index more effectively than steroidal dexamethasone and also had a significant preventive effect.
