    It has been found that Gluconobacter liquefaciens metabolized 5-ketogluconic acid. In order to clarify metabolic pathways of this compound, the oxidation products by resting cells of this organism were investigated. Rubiginol, rubiginic, comenic, 2, 5-diketogluconic, glycolic and tartronic acids were detected or identified in the reaction fluid. On the basis of these results and the data obtained by means of manometric experiments, the oxidation pathways of 5-ketogluconic acid were discussed.

    Oxidation pathways of 5-ketogluconic acid by resting cells of Gluconobacter liquefaciens were further investigated. Arsenite inhibited the oxidation of this compound. The amount of carbonyl compounds in the oxidation products of 5-ketogluconic acid was increased by addition of 10-3M arsenite. Pyruvic and α-ketoglutaric acids were identified among these carbonyl compounds. Members of the tricarboxylic acid cycle were oxidized actively by resting cells or cell-free extracts of this organism. These results suggested the presence of the tricarboxylic acid cycle in the terminal oxidation of 5-ketogluconic acid by this organism.

    During the course of investigation on the formulation of Blastcidin S and PMA, it was found that some types of surface active agents and lignin sulfate gave undesirableinfluences to Blastcidin S, while lignin sulfate had a bad effect upon PMA.

    Twenty ppm Blastcidin was necessary to exert influence on rice blast, while PMA required 20ppm (Hg) for protective purpose. The combination of Blastcidin S and PMA with half concentration each was shown to be superior to that of separate application on both therapeutic and protective effects.

    Kaki tannin was isolated from methanol extracts of unripe kaki fruit (Japanese persimmon) and it was found that a main constituent composing kaki tannin was a leucoanthocyanin. Its acetate and methyl ether were prepared and their properties and reactions were studied. From the results of these experiments, kaki tannin was presumed to be a (+) leucodelphinidin-3-glucoside (5, 7, 3', 4', 5'-pentahydroxyflavan-3, 4-diol-3-glucoside).

    Production of D-xylose and L-arabinose isomerases by lactic acid bacteria was greatly promoted by the addition of manganese ions in cultural medium. Effective concentration of the ions was 5×10-3M. Ferrous ions were also effective for the production of D-xylose isomerase and cobaltous ions were somewhat effective for the production of L-arabinose isomerase. Zinc and cadmium ions inhibited bacterial growth. It was possible to increase the production of isomerase by changing MnSO4 concentration to 5×10-3M (0.11%) in place of 0.001 per cent in the normal medium.

    Column chromatographic procedures for the purification of pentose isomerases were carried out. Cation and anion exchange resins were not suitable because of their low exchange capacities and instability of the enzyme at acidic pH range. But the isomerases were successfully puri d by DEAE-cellulose column chrorrlatography with high recovery (85-90%). Using a Tris buffer, KCl concentration was increased in gradient. D-Xylose isomerase was eluted at pH 7.0 at 0-0.2M KCl, and L-arabinose isomerase at pH 8.0 at 0-0.4M KCl. The purified isomerases, D-xylose isomerase and L-arabinose isomerase, both required manganese ionsspecifically for their activities.

    D-Xylose isomerase and L-arabinose isomerase are different enzymes which can be separated from each other with acetone fractionation at pH 4.8-5.0, heat treatment or chromatography on a column of DEAE-cellulose. In DEAE-cellulose chromatography with a linear gradient elution method, D-xylose isomerase is recovered in the first peak at pH 7.0 Trisbuffer with 0-0.2M KCl, and Farabinose isomerase is eluted in the second peak at pH 83 (Tris buffer) with a larger ionic strength.

    Components of the unsaponifiable matter of crude rice bran oilwere examined. Anew compound having melting point of 157-158°C was obtained. Molecular weight was determined and ultraviolet and infrared analyses were carried out. Squalene and ferulic acid ester were confirmed to exist in the unsaponifiable matter of crude rice bran oil. Quantitative relation of components was calculated and found to be 42% sterols, 24% higher alcohols, 20% ferulic acid esters, 10% hydrocarbons and 2% unreported compound.

    The 3-deoxy-D-pentosone (I) was isolated from the browning degradation mixture of N-D-xylosyl-n-butylamine by the action of acetic acid at 55°C. The 3-deoxy-D-erythrohexosone (IIa) and the 3-deoxy-D-threohexosone (IIb) were also prepared by degradation of the corresponding N-glycosyl-n-butylamine. The 3-deoxy-D-pentosone was characterized as the 2, 4-dinitrophenylosazone and its diacetate, and the p-nitrophenylosazone. The two 3-deoxy-D-hexosones were also characterized as the analogous derivatives. The three 3-deoxyosones gave positive color reactions with 2-thiobarbituric acid.
    As one of the intermediates in 3-deoxyosone formation from N-glycoside, 1, 2-enol form of 1-deoxy-1-n-butylamino-2-ketose (IV) was proposed.

    Since Achromobacter pestifer EA isolated from soils shows markedly high ε-lysine acylase activity compared with those of the other microorganisms ever tested, cultural conditions for the production of this enzyme were investigated.
    As a result, it was confirmed that simple medium containing 1% peptone, 5% glucose and some inorganic salts is most suitable for the enzyme production and that much moreε-lysine acylase is produced by shaken culture or submerged culture in jaderrrlentor than by stationary culture.α-Amino acylase activity in this organism was also studied.
