    1) Nucleoside phosphotransferase activity was observed somewhere in the bacterial cells, as well as a relatively large amount of 5'-nucleotidase and of phosphomonoesterase.
    2) Nucleoside phosphotransferase activity and its product specificity did not depend upon the cultural conditions or cultural period but were suggested to be due to the inherent or basic character of strains.
    3) Aromatic phosphate compounds and nucleotides are useful for this reaction as donor; especially in the latter case, product specificity of the reaction was confirmed to correlate with nucleotide isomer added as donor, namely with donor specificity.
    4) The phosphate transfer reaction using nucleotide as donor was reversible, but that using p-NPP was irreversible.
    5) The synthesis and accumulation of IMP was apparent to correlate with the concentration of donor phosphate rather than that of p-NP and Pi liberated.
    6) The yield of 5'-IMP from HxR and p-NPPwas amounted to about 70_??_80%, this reaction, therefore, is useful for the preparation or production of 5'-IMP.

    1) Few reagents known so far as the inhibitors of acid phosphatase inhibited the nucleoside phosphotransferase of bacteria at pH 4.0.
    2) Cu++ or Zn++ stimulated markedly the synthesis of nucleotide and shifted the optimum pH of nucleoside phosphotransferase from 5.0 to 4.0.
    3) Cu++ and Zn++ inhibited the formation of hypoxanthine from inosine or 5'-inosinic acid.
    4) The yield of 5'-inosinic acid synthesize amounted to about 80%, in this optimum condition, which corresponds to about twofold increase against the value obtained without metallic ion.
    5) The effect of Cu++ or Zn++ did not seem to correlate with the permeability of cell membrane, or with the nitro radical at para-position of phenylphosphate added as donor or substrate.
    6) The roles of Cu++ and Zn++ on phosphomonoesterase and 5'-nucleotidase activities and on the protecting ability from acidic inactivation of these enzyme activities were not always the same. The nonidentity of the so-called phosphatase and nucleoside phosphotransferase was discussedfrom these results.

    This paper presents the steric configuration of a polysaccharide obtained from the latex of the Japanese lacquer tree. Thus, the polysaccharide consisted of galactose and galacturonic acid, and the main chain of polysaccharide was proved to be linked with 1→3 linkage of galactose residue of 6-O-galacturonosyl galactose unit by the periodate oxidation method. The molecular weight was calculated to be 6×104 by Archibald's ultracentrifugal method. The configuration of the polysaccharide was discussed to be a helical structure of which one turn of the helices consists of 6 to 7 6-O-galacturonosyl galactose units and the diameter of the helix is 21Å and one pitch is 9.5Å on the basis of viscosity measurements, color reaction with iodine, crystallization with capronic acid and consideration of molecular models.

    Crude RNA obtained by the decoction of destroyed yeast cells showed some immunochemical reaction with the antisera, but had little or no immunizing ability.
    Crude RNA treated with phenol and reprecipitated by ethanol, and pure RNA obtained from phenol-treated RNA had the immunizing ability. It seems, therefore, that the treatment with phenol gave RNA some conformational change and led to acquirment of the immunizing ability. Its ability to immunize rabbits is weak and the antibody produced by it is a non-precipitating, and an incomplete one.

    It was found that a guanine and adenine-requiring mutant of Micrococcus glutamicus accumulated the ultraviolet-absorbing substance in the culture fluid. A KY9978 strain, which accumulated the largest amount of the substance, we selected from the guanine auxotrophs derived from the guanine-adenine doubleless mutant. The substance was isolated in a crystalline form from the culture fluid by the use of ion exchange resins, Diaion SA 21A and SK No. 1, and identified chemically and enzymatically as 5'-xanthylic acid, an intermediate from 5'-inosinic acid to 5'-guanylic acid on the purine nucleotide biosynthesis.

    A guanineless mutant of Micrococcus glutamicus, KY9978 strain, which was derived from a guanine-adenine doubleless mutant, KY9938 strain, was able to grow on guanine more abundantly than the corresponding nucleoside and nucleotide, but unable to grow on 2, 6-diaminopurine. A fermentation medium most suitable for XMP production by KY9978 strain was decided by varying the concentrations and kinds of ingredients in the medium. Of particular importance in media is the concentration of guanine, the excessive addition of which decreased XMP yields remarkably. This might suggest negative feed back mechanisms involved in GMP biosynthesis by this strain. Typical chemical changes in XMP fermentation showed that the maximal amount of the product was approximately 2.75mg per ml of medium.

    To shorten the time necessary for the determination of L-glutamic acid a turbidimetric microbiological assay method with Lactobacillus arabinosus 17-5 has been studied. It was found that the assay can be completed within 30 hours including the incubation period for the inoculum, the assay and the time for medium preparation. Turbidimetric assay methods of other amino acids such as DL-alanine with Leuconostoc citrovorum 8081, L-aspartic acid and L-lysine with Leuc. mesenteroides P-60 have also been studied.

    2-Methyl-3-benzylmercaptopropanal, obtained by condensation of methacrolein with benzyimercaptan, was treated with a mixture of sodium cyanide, ammonium carbonate and triethylamine to give two diastereomeric hydantoins. Each diastereomer gave the same S-benzylmercapto-valine on treatment with alkali, which shows that the epimerization occured in this condition and the more stable one was formed. This compound was treated with sodium in liquid ammonia to give the corresponding disulfide. S-benzylmercapto-valine gave 2-amino-3-methyl-butyrothiolactone when refluxed under inert atmosphere after the reduction. These compounds were derived to 2-methyl-homocysteic acid by treatment with bromine and valine by treatment with Raney nickel.

    Micrococcus glutamicus, a glutamate-producing bacterium, is known to have strong activity of L-glutamic acid dehydrogenase which requires NADP as co-enzyme. In this paper, the NADP-specific L-glutamic acid dehydrogenase was purified from M. glutamicus by means of heat treatment with sodium sulfate, precipitation with acetic acid and diethyl-amino-ethyl (DEAE) cellulose column chromatography. The activity of the purified enzyme preparation reached 200-fold as high as that of the crude extract. Some properties of the purified enzyme were investigated. As a result, it was found that the highly purified enzyme preparation acted not only on L-glutamic acid (L-GA) but also on α, ε-diaminopimelic acid (α, ε-DAP) in the presence of NADP. Some of the probable consideration for the dehydrogenation of L-GA and α, ε-DAP are noted.

    The catalytic hydrogenation of kojic acid in the presence of Raney nickel and noble metals such as platinum or palladium was studied. The hydrogenated products were isolated and identified. By using Raney nickel catalyst, hexahydro kojic acid was obtained in good yield. Allo-maltol, hexahydro kojic acid and hexahydro allo-maltol were produced over platinum catalyst. Also, allo-maltol, tetrahydro kojic acid and tetrahydro all maltol were produced over palladium catalyst. The success of the direct conversion from kojic acid to allo-maltol may be emphasized.

    Comparison of protein content, phosphatase activity and peroxidase activity was made using extracts prepared with and without isoascorbate from sweet potato roots infected by the black rot pathogen. There was no noticeable difference between the two kinds of extracts. Immunological results indicated that some proteins were modified when isoascorbate was omitted from the extraction medium. After SEPHADEX chromatography, protein content and peroxidase activity did not change appreciably despite the presence or absence of isoascorbate. Acid phosphatase activity was strongly decreased in the absence of isoascorbate. It was concluded that acid phosphatase formed a complex with the oxidation products from polyphenols formed by polyphenol oxidase. SEPHADEX sieving was found to be a very useful method to separate proteins quickly from polyphenols, because the latter were strongly adsorbed on SEPHADEX.

    The five strains of A. fumigatus examined showed marked variation in their ability to produce protease in submerged culture. Also marked differences in protease production were observed when individual strains were tested in different media. Yields of up to 3.7 EUPH 10.0 per 1 were obtained in a liver-glucose medium with the one pathogenic strain included in the study.
