The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of metabolites produced form Streptomyces rimosus in controlling the growth of sapwood - inhabiting fungi. In order to carry out this task, the following specific fungi were tested : sapstain fungi - Ceratocystis pilifera, Ceratocystis piceae, and Aureobasidium pullulans ; mold fungi - Trichoderma hazianum, Trichoderma viride, Penicillium cirtrinum, and Aspergillus niger. Based on the tests, the following observations can be drawn. 1. The conidial germination of sapstain and mold fungi was completely inhibited leaving a clear zone around the paper disc treated with metabolites. The best inhibition was observed in A. pullulans plate and the least in T. viride. 2. Concentration of SB medium for the production of metabolites from St, rimosus affected antifungal activity of metabolites against sapwood - inhabiting fungi. Metabolites prepared from 1/3${\times}$SB medium showed the best activity and the least activity was observed in metabolites form 1/4${\times}$medium. 3. in vivo and in vitro test using wood blocks, treatment of pine sapwood blocks with metabolites also inhibited conidial germination and thus prevented discoloration. 4. Treatment with metabolites did not change the macroscopic structure of wood and did not cause the discoloration of the surface of wood by pigments produced form St. rimosus. In conclusion the results of this study indicate that antifungal metabloites of St, rimosus could be used for the biological control of sapstain and mold fungi.

Secondary metabolite-based chemotaxonomic classification of Streptomyces (8 species, 14 strains) was performed using ultraperformance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time-offlight-mass spectrometry with multivariate statistical analysis. Most strains were generally well separated by grouping under each species. In particular, S. rimosus was discriminated from the remaining sevens pecies (S. coelicolor, S. griseus, S. indigoferus, S. peucetius, S. rubrolavendulae, S. scabiei, and S. virginiae) in partial least squares discriminant analysis, and oxytetracycline and rimocidin were identified as S. rimosus-specific metabolites. S. rimosus also showed high antibacterial activity against Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae, the pathogen responsible for rice bacterial blight. This study demonstrated that metabolite-based chemotaxonomic classification is an effective tool for distinguishing Streptomyces spp. and for determining their species-specific metabolites.

Bocillus subtilis를 유전공학의 숙주 세포로서 이용하기 위해서는 우선 적당한 vector의 개발이 요구된다. Oxytetracycline의 항생물질을 생산하는 방사선균인 Streptomyces rimosuf IFO 0014로 부터 oxytetracycline-resistant plasmid DNA를 pH 9.0의 phenol-buffer system으로 추출하여 B.subtilis KPM 60[St $r^{R}$-mutant of RM 125 (leu A8, arg 15, hsr $M^{-}$, hsm $M^{-}$)] 1균주에 형질전환시키면서 이 plasmid DNA가 표현되게 하였다. 이때 형질전환의 조건으로서 KPM60을 growth medium에서 3시간, competence medium에서는 30분내지 60분간 그리고 DNA와는 20분동안 접촉시킴으로서 가장 높은 빈도로 형질전환이 일어났다. (대개 $10^{-4}$ 빈도 이상) 또 recipient cell의 competence화에는 oH7.5에서 그리고 형질전환에는 2$0^{\circ}C$에서 최적상태를 보였다.

A region encoding the 16S rRNA was cloned by PCR from Streptomyces melanosporofaciens 7489 and sequenced by the chain-termination dideoxy sequencing method. A phylogenetic tree constructed by sequence alignment of 24 Streptomyces species suggests that there is little evolutionary distance between this strain and Streptomyces rimosus.

In order to obtain acetaminophen, a popular analgesic-antipyretic, through microbial p-hydroxylation and N-acetylation of aniline, various fungi and bacteria were secreened. Among them, Streptomyces species were chosen for strain improvement by the use of interspecific protoplast fusion technique. Two interspecific fused strains were developed between S. rimosus (N-cetylation function) and S. aureofaciens (p-hydroxylation function) and also between S. lividans and S. globisporus. For efficient protoplast fusion and cell wall regeneration, various conditions were examined. In a typical experiment of mixed S rimosus ($pro^- \;his^-$) and S. aureofaciens ($ilv^-$) protoplasts with 40% (w/v) polythylene glycol 3350 (PEG) for 3 min gave $8.3\times10^{-7}$ of fusion frequency. Treatment of mixed S. lividans (pant-) and S. globisporus (leu-) protoplasts with 50% (w/v) PEG for 3 min at $30^\circ{C}$ gave $1.2\times10^{-6}$ of frequency. Among the fused strains, up to 40-50% increase in p-hydroxylation power was observed. To investigate the possibility of plasmid involvement in p-hydroxylation power was observed. To investigate the possibility of plasmid involvement in p-hydroxylation of acetanilide, plasmid curing was attempted. We found that cells treated with acriflavine (at the frequency of 100%) and cells regenerated from protoplsts of S. auroefaciens (2% frequency) lost their p-hydroxylation function.

For microbial production of acetaminophen, a popular analgesic-antipyretic from aniline, we screened various fungi and bacteria. And we succeeded to some extents in acetaminophen production by successful protoplast fusion between S. lividans and S. globisporus and also between S. rimosus and S. aureofaciens. However, more fertile results might be brought via performing the cloning of acetanilide p-hydroxylation genes of Streptomyces in yeast. This study was initiated to determine whether the acetanilide p-hydroxylase of Streptomyces is cytochrome P-450 species or non-heme iron protein species. The p-hydroxylationactivity on acetanilide in S. aureofaciens ATCC 10762 was found to be unstable on exposing to the air. However, 100,000xg supernatant of the cell free extracts which were prepared in $N_2$ atmosphere showed the p-hydroxylation activity. Characteristic absorption peak of cytochrome P-450 after reduction with dithionite and addition of CO was not observed in the region of 450nm. Moreover, metyrapone and 2, 6-dichloroindophenol did not affect this enzyme activity, but sodium azide, sodium cyanide, cupric sulfate, cadmium chloride, ${\alpha}$, ${\alpha}'-dipyridyl$, and o-phenanthroline reduced p-hydroxylase activity considerably. S. fradiae NRRL 2702 was shown to have strong p-hydroxylation activity in intact cells. This activity disappeared in its cell free extracts. In its 100,000xg supernatant, however, characteristic absorption peak of cytochrome P-450 after reduction with dithionite and addition of CO was observed at 446nm. Thus, the results herein presented suggest that acetanilide p-hydroxylase of Streptomyces aureofaciens is not related to cytochrome P-450 and may include non-heme iron protein for its activity. However, it is not clear whether acetanilide p-hydroxylase in S. fradiae belongs to the same category of S. aureofaciens.

The relationship between morphological differentiation and production of trypsin-like protease (TLP_ in streptomycetes was studied. All the Streptomyces spp.In this study produced TLP just before the onset of aerial mycelium formation. Addition of TLP inhibitor, TLCK, to the top surface of colonies inhibited aerial mycelium formation as well as TLP inhibitor, TLCK, to the top surface of colonies inhibited aerial mycelium formation as well as TLP activity. Addition of 2% glucose to the Bennett agar medium repressed both the aerial mycelium formation and TLP production in S. abuvaviensis, S. coelicolor A3(2), S exfoliatus, S. microflavus, S. roseus, s. lavendulae, and S. rochei. However the addition of glucose did not affect S. limosus, S. felleus, S. griseus, S. phaechromogenes, and S. rimosus. The glucose repression on aerial mycelium formation and production of TLP was relieved by the addition of glucose anti-metabolite (methyl .alpha.-glucopyranoside). Therefore, it was concluded that TLP production is coordinately regulated with morphological differentiation and TLP activity is essential for morphological differentiation in streptomycetes. The proposed role of TLP is that TLP participates in the degradation of substrate mycelium protein for providing nutrient for aerial mycelial growth.
