The diversity and change of microbial communities during kimchi fermentation at $4^{\circ}C$ were analyzed by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE). Kimchi samples were taken every 5 days over the fermentation periods (for 60 days) to extract total DNA for DGGE analysis. Touchdown polymerase chain reaction was performed to amplify the V3 region of 16S rRNA gene. Sequencing results of partial 16S rDNA amplicons from DGGE profiles revealed that lactic acid bacteria (LAB), especially Weissella koreensis, Lactobacillus sakei and Leuconostoc gelidum were dominants in kimchi fermentation at $4^{\circ}C$. And we knew that W. koreensis steadily existed throughout the whole fermentation period, also Lb. sakei and Leuc. gelidum appeared from 10th day and 30th day of fermentation time, respectively and then these species were to be dominant microorganisms.

In this study, we investigated the biological activity of antioxidant and antibacterial activity of citrus by-product ferment. Among the six probiotic bacteria, Bacillus subtilis and Saccharomyces cerevisiae had the highest antioxidant activity. Hot water extracts from citrus by-product of ferment were screened for antibacterial activity fish pathogenic bacteria by paper disc method. Among the various hot water extracts, the Bacillus subtilis, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Pediococcus pentosaceus, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Lactobacillus plantarum, Enterococcus faecium showed relatively strong antibacterial activities in the order. The reducing activity on the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical and $O^{2-}$ and OH radical scavenging potential were sequentially screened, in search for antioxidant activities of citrus by-product ferment.

Beer is the most popular alcoholic fermentation product, but its high purine content has been known to be associated with hyperuricemia and gout. In this study, we examined whether the purine content of beer could be lowered by changing the fermentation temperature during beer-brewing. We brewed beers at different temperatures, $10^{\circ}C$ and $20^{\circ}C$, that are two typical beer-brewing conditions for bottom- and top-fermentation, respectively, and the contents of the representative purines, adenine, guanine, and xanthine in each beer were measured by high performance liquid chromatography. As a result, the total purine content of the beer fermented at $10^{\circ}C$ was lower than that of fermented beer at $20^{\circ}C$. Especially, the content of adenine was lowered significantly.

발효공업이 발달되면서 발효조의 scale-up에 대한 문제는 꾸준하게 연구되어져 왔다. 이 scale-up은 미생물 뿐만 아니라 최근에는 동물이나 식물 그리고 곤충세포의 대량배양을 위해서도 계속적으로 연구되고 있는 분야이다. 수많은 생물반응기가 개발되었고 또 개발중에 있는데, 각 반응기에 대한 scale-up의 방법은 서로 상이할 수 있기 때문에 본 고에서는 현재 산업계에서 가장 많이 사용되고 있는 전통적인 교반조 발효기에 대한 scale-up의 원리와 응용을 다루고자 한다.

This experiment was focused on finding out the potential problems in organic farming system, which is recently emphasized on the produce of horticultural crops due to the serious environmental deterioration. Thus, in this study, the effect of the application of organic farming materials in soil on plant growth and components of chinese cabbage and the soil Physicochemistry property were compared with conventional culture. The results were summarized as follows : 1. The effect of soil chemical properties after application of organic farming materials, The amounts of pH and O.,M. in N, P, K treated plot were few of change, To the contray, fermentation compost and microorganisms fermentation compost treated plot were some increase, Amount of P$_2$O$_{5}$ , Ca and increase in comparison with the N, P, K treated plot, Specially chicken manure+ microorganisms fermentation compost treated plot was the highest. 2. Change of soil microbial after application of organic farming materials, The number of bacteria and actinomycetes in N, P, K treated plot were appeared definite direction, to the fermentation compost and microorganisms fermentation compost treated plot showed the increased tendency, specially, chicken manure+ microorganisms fermentation compost treated plot was the highest, 3. The growth characteristic of chinese cabbage after application of organic farming materials was superior in order of chemical fertilizers plot> microorganisms fermentation compost plot> fermentation compost plot. It shows the NO$_3$$^{[-10]}$ accumulation in chinese cabbage was higher in the outer leaves than in the inner leavess. It was some lower in the microorganisms fermentation compost plot, it was the highest at chemical fertilizers plot , all inner and outer leaves.

Meju is a raw material used to make Korean soy sauce (Kanjang) and soybean paste (Doenjang), both of them rich in plant protein. The twenty-nine fungal and a bacterial species were identified from twenty-three traditionally homemade meju cakes. Out of them, only a few species were found to be involved in the actual fermentation process of meju; The other species were contaminants during the improper subprocesses of meju fermentation. The fungal floral successions were observed to be related to two physical and biochemical changes of meju cakes during meju fermentation: drying and heat releasing processes. The zygomycetous fungi were first observed to exist mainly during the first stage. Scopulariopsis brevicaulis was observed to grow on the surface of meju cakes and then to coexist with Bacillus megatrium in the inner part of meju cakes during the second stage. Based on the biochemical tests, the proteases secreted by the different microorganisms were involved in the degradation of soybean proteins with a mutual relationship. Also, zygomycetous fungi were speculated to be important microorganisms for inducing the second stage in the traditional Korean homemade meju.

Fermented foods have been recognized as functional foods that provide health benefits, including the modulation of intestinal microbiota. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to examine the effects of coffee beans fermented with Lactobacillus plantarum and Bacillus amyloliquefaciens on healthy human gut microbiota. Fermentation increased the content of beneficial substances (i.e., flavonoids and polyphenols). The consumption of fermented coffee increased the occurrence of beneficial microorganisms such as fiber degraders and short-chain fatty acid producers, although no significant microbiota shifts were observed after the coffee consumption. The analysis of metabolic activities also showed no difference after the coffee consumption. Our study demonstrates that the consumption of the fermented coffee may increase some beneficial bacterial while remaining the gut microbiota and its activities.

대두유중에서 L, acidophilus와 K. fragilis를 단독발효시키는 것 보다 혼합배양 함으로써 젖산의 생성이 촉진되었는데 균간의 어떠한 상호작용에 의하여 산의 생산이 증가되었는가를 연구하였다. 대두유와 Soywhey를 사용하였을 때의 젖산 생성속도는 L. acidophilus 단독보다는 K. fragilis 와 혼합배양하는 것이 빨랐다. 이들 균을 단독 또는 혼합배양하여 경시적으로 발효 대두유중의 당 성분을 HPLC로 분석하였다. 그 결과 L. acidophilus가 발효하기 어려운 sucrosed raffinose, stachyose를 K. fragilis가 생산하는 효소에 의하여 젖산균이 발효할 수 있는 glucose, fructose로 분해되기 때문에 혼합배양 함으로써 젖산 발효가 촉진된다는 것을 알았다.
