Present investigation deals with a search for plant sources which have high α-glucosidase activities. As a result of the screening test on 8 kinds of plant source (spring wheat, maize, buckwheat, malted barley, oat, soybean, azuki bean and kidney bean), buckwheat seed was found to have the highest α-glucosidase (maltase) activity. Changes in α-glucosidase and amylase activities during the germination stages of buckwheat were also examined. It was found that α-glucosidase was rich in seeds and seedlings at initial stages of germination. In addition, the probable existence of glucamylase activity was suggested in the former, and a rapid appearance of α-amylase was recognized in the latter.
It was concluded that ungerminated buckwheat seed was excellent as the material for the preparation of plant α-glucosidase.

Buckwheat a-glucosidase was purified approximately 300-fold by CM-cellulose treat-ment, calcium phosphate gel treatment, fractionation with ammonium sulfate, chromato-graphy on a column of calcium phosphate gel and CM-Sephadex treatment. The purified a-glucosidase showed one peak ultracentrifugally but was heterogeneous in moving-boundary electrophoresis.
The enzyme hydrolyzed not only maltose but also soluble starch, and glucose was the sole product from both substrates. At a lower substrate concentration (0.5%), the rate of the initial reaction with maltose was about 3 times higher than that with soluble starch. At higher substrate concentrations (2.5% and 5%) the enzyme showed a
trans-glucosylase action toward both substrates.
The following properties were perfectly identical on maltose and soluble starch: optimum pH 5.0; optimum temperature, ca. 52°C; range of pH stability, 4._??_7.3; temperature of stabili-ty, 45°C for 10 min; enzymatic activity on each substrate, almost lost at 60°C for 30 min.

Sorbate inhibited the growth of baker's yeast at the logarithmic and stationary phases and its inhibition showed the Type II mode proposed by Tamiya
et al.
Microscopic observation of the yeast cells during growth demonstrated that the sorbate inhibition was fungistatic, but not fungicidal. The respiration of the yeast was mano-metrically determined and the mechanism of the inhibition was suggested that sorbate would competitively combine with coenzyme A and acetate and would consequently inhibit the enzyme reaction relating coenzyme A. In addition, it was clarified that sorbyl-coenzyme A was also determined by the method of the enzymatic acetylation of sulfani-lamide. This would suggest that the sorbyl moiety might be transferred to 4-amino radical of sulfanilamide enzymatically as well as in the case of acetyl-coenzyme A.

The same result was obtained with rat liver homogenate. Two house fly isozymes were separated by CM-cellulose column chromatography. The house fly enzymes were clearly separated from rat liver enzymes by electrophoresis, which also revealed the presence of 2 isozymes in the rat liver homogenate.

Brevibacterium insectiphilium KY 3446 (Steinhous, Breed AHU 1401) was found to ac-cumulate IMP from hypoxanthine and UMP from uracil, respectively. This strain is thus considered to present the fourth example in
salvage-type fermentation, in addition to
Micrococcus s_??_donensis,
Arthrobacter citreus and
Brevibacterium ammoniagenes reported previously.
IMP from adenine and UMP from cytosine were also produced by KY 3446, re-spectively. Further, the addition of inosine and adenosine instead of the bases also caused IMP accumulation.
This strain grew well on sucrose medium, and produced IMP and UMP in higher yields on sucrose than on glucose medium.
Excessive amounts of Mn
2+ stimulated growth, but markedly inhibited IMP production. The optimal concentration of Mn
2+ for IMP accumulation induced morphogenetic alterations from normal and small to abnormal and large cells.

A ribonuclease inhibitor was found in the soluble fraction of fresh mycelium of
Aspergillus oryzae. The inhibitor was nondialyzable, insensitive to heating at 80°C for 10 min, and salted out by 0.4 to 0.7 saturation of ammonium sulfate. The inhibitor disappeared with the 3.1 times increase of intracellular ribonuclease activity in the course of autolysis of mycelium at 30°C for 24hr. The inhibitor obtained from fresh mycelium inactivated the ribonuclease on the cell walls, in the large particles and soluble fraction of the autolyzed mycelium.

Presence of high cathepsin D activity in the aqueous extract of the acetone-dried powder from rabbit muscle (
L. dorsi) was observed. By fractionation with acetone and by DEAE-Sephadex chromatography, electrophoretically homogenous enzyme with the specific activity of 12, 620 was isolated, and this value was 3600 times of the original sarcoplasmic cathepsin D activity.
Its activity to hydrolyze denatured hemoglobin was maximal at pH 4.0 and at 40_??_47°C. Slight inhibition by zinc and manganese ions (0.01M) was observed. No enhance-ment of the activity by any metal ions and sulfhydryl compounds examined was observed.
This enzyme was stable at fairly acidic pH, and the loss of its activity, incubated for 10 min at pH 3.0, was about 50% and 90%, at 60°C and 70°C, respectively.
The purified cathepsin D in this report showed similar properties as sarcoplasmic cathepsin, and cathepsin D from spleen. However, the present purified cathepsin D was different from the latter cathepsin in the stability at acidic pH.

Reducing sugars react in aqueous ammonia to form several imidazolic compounds. An unknown compound was newly isolated from the reaction mixture of L-rhamnose and ammonia, and identified as 4 (5)-ethylimidazole. It was found that this compound was formed in aqueous ammonia only from such reducing sugars as rhamnose, fucose etc. containing a terminal methyl group. Consequently, it was inferred that in aqueous ammonia L-rhamnose decomposes to form ethylglyoxal as an intermediate of 4 (5)-ethylimidazole.

Aspergillus sojae in aqueous solution was investigated by the optical rotatory dispersion, Cotton effects, infra-red absorption spectra (amide I and V bands), ultraviolet difference spectra, etc. It is concluded that; (1) there are about 10 to 15% of the α-helix and a small amount of the β-structure in the enzyme molecule, but most parts of the peptide chain are present as the disordered structure; (2) the enzyme molecule is compactly folded even in the disordered parts; and (3) the two tryptophan residues involved in the peptide chain are burried in the interior of the molecule.

Showdomycin, 2-β-D-ribofuranosylmaleimide, inhibited the incorporation of amino acids and purine and pyrimidine bases into macromolecules in
E. coli K-12 cells at low concentrations. The inhibitory action of showdomycin could be reversed by the addition of a nucleoside or a sulfhydryl compound. In marked contrast to common nucleosides, the pseudouridine showed no such effect. This may indicate that the N-glycosyl linkage in the nucleoside is a structural requirement for its reversing activity on the inhibitory action of showdomycin.
N-Ethylmaleimide, which has structural similarity to showdomycin, inhibited the in-corporation of amino acids and purine and pyrimidine bases as well as showdomycin. The inhibitory action of N-ethylmaleimide, however, was not reversed by the addition of a nucleoside. This may indicate that there may be difference in the mechanism of the inhibitory action between N-ethylmaleimide and showdomycin.

The crude extract obtained from Pseudomonas aeruginosa grown on xylene as sole carbon source converted
p-xylene-methyl-
14C or toluene-methyl-
14C to
p-toluic or benzoic acid, respectively. However, addition of
p-methylbenzyl or benzyl alcohol to the reaction mixture resulted in accumulation of
p-methylbenzyl or benzyl alcohol. This indicates that in the crude extract,
p-xylene or toluene is metabolized via its corresponding alcohol to
p-toluic or benzoic acid, respectively. The enzyme system responsible for these reactions required NAD or NADH and FAD, and could be stabilized by the presence of glutathione. When the crude extract was fractionated by the use of DEAE-cellulose chromatography, it was demonstrated that two distinct protein fractions and two cofactors (NADH and FAD) were required for the step of the hydroxylation of
p-xylene or toluene to its corresponding alcohol. NAD, NADP or NADPH had very few or little activity. FMN partially replaced FAD.
