Abstract:
PURPOSE: A Pseudomonas fluorescens JK-0412 with a chitin decomposition ability and a method for producing N-acetylglucosamine(GlcNAc) using the same are provided to ensure cheap synthesis. CONSTITUTION: A Pseudomonas fluorescens JK-0412(deposit number KCTC 11623BP) has an ability of decomposing chitin. The strain produces N-acetylglucosaminidase from a culture medium by culturing the strain in the medium. A method for producing N-acetylglucosaminidase comprises a step of adding chitin to the medium. N-acetylglucosaminidase is contained in the supernatant of the culture medium in which the strain is vaccinated. The chitin is a powdery or colloidal chitin. The strain is cultured at 25-50°C and pH 6-8.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A polysaccharide extracted from Capsosiphon fulvescens with anti-thrombotic effect and immunity is provided to produce a large amount of polysaccharide without side effects. CONSTITUTION: A polysaccharide having anti-thrombotic effect and immunity is isolated from Capsosiphon fulvescens. The polysaccharide is a soluble polysaccharide containing sulfate residue. The polysaccharide contains mannose and galactose as a main ingredient. A composition contains the polysaccharide as an active ingredient. A method for preparing the polysaccharide comprises: a step of neutralizing hydrolyzed extract of Capsosiphon fulvescens; a step of precipitating with alcohol of 1-4 carbon atoms, ethyl acetate, hexane, dichloromethane, or mixture solvent thereof and centrifuging to obtain a first precipitate; a step of treating the first precipitate with calcium chloride(CaCl_2) and centrifuging to obtain a supernatant; a step of treating the supernatant with alcohol of 1-4 carbon atoms, ethyl acetate, hexane, dichloromethane, or mixture solvent thereof to obtain a second precipitate; and a step of dialyzing the second precipitate and drying.
Abstract:
A novel Sphingomonas sp strain, a method for culturing the strain, and a method for preparing fuco-oligosaccharide by using the strain are provided to improve the degradation of fucoidan of brown algae into fuco-oligosaccharide. A Sphingomonas sp strain contains an enzyme which can degrade the fucoidan of brown algae into fuco-oligosaccharide. Preferably the strain belongs to the Sphingomonas paucimobilis sp. The deposition number of the strain is KCTC 11130BP.
