해양미세조류는 해양생태계의 1차 생산자로서 매우 중요한 역할을 차지한다. 그러므로 해양미세조류의 배양은 천해양식 어류의 종묘생산시 먹이생물로서 중요한 위치를 차지하고 있다. 현재 국내에서는 대부분 기존의 재래식 방법인 개방식 배양조가 Chorella 생산에 널리 이용되고 있으며 이는 빛의 투과가 균일하지 못하여 배양능력을 높이기 위해서는 배양 표면적을 증가시켜야 하기 때문에 대단히 넓은 면적이 필요하므로, 이 방법은 극히 비경제적이라 할 수 있다. (중략)

It is crucial to develop a miniaturized cultivation method for large and rapid screening of high-yielding mutants of monacolin-K, a powerful anti-hypercholesterolemic secondary metabolite biosynthesized by the fungal cells of Monascus ruber. In order to investigate as many strains as possible in a short time, a miniaturized fermentation method especially suitable for the cultivation of the filamentous Monascus mutants was developed using $50m{\ell}$ culture-tube ($7m{\ell}$ of working volume) instead of the traditional $250m{\ell}$ flask ($50m{\ell}$ of working volume). Generally, in filamentous fungal cell fermentations, morphologies in growth and production cultures should be maintained as thick filamentous and compact-pelleted (usually less than 1 mm in diameter) forms, respectively, for enhanced production of secondary metabolites in final production cultures. In this study, we intended to induce the respective optimal morphologies in the miniaturized culture system for the purpose of rapid screening of overproducers. Miniaturized growth culture system was successfully developed due to the mass production of spores in the statistically optimized solid medium. When large amounts of spores were inoculated into the growth cultures, and brown rice flour (20 g/L) was also supplemented to the growth medium, dense filamentous morphologies were successfully induced in the growth cultures performed with the 50 ml culture tubes. It was implied that the amounts of spores inoculated into the growth tube-cultures and the growth medium components should be the key factors for the induction of the filamentous forms in the growth fermentations. Furthermore, in order to statistically optimize production medium, multiple experiments based on Plackett-Burman design and response surface method (RSM) were carried out, resulting in more than 2 fold enhanced production of monacolin-K in the final production cultures with the optimized production medium. Notably, under the production culture conditions with the statistically optimized medium, optimal pellet sizes below 1 mm in diameter were reproducibly induced, in contrast to the thick and viscous filamentous morphologies observed in the previous production cultures.

본 연구는 mSOF(modified synthetic oviduct fluid medium) 배양액을 이용하여 $100{\mu}1$와 $10{\mu}1$ 배양 소적에서 일본 흑우의 수정란 생산 효율을 개선하기 위하여 수행하였다. 난구세포가 부착된 미성숙 난자는 각각 단독 배양조건($S;\;10{\mu}1$ 소적) 및 그룹 배양 조건 ($G;\;100{\mu}1$ 소적)에서 실시하였고 배양액은 TCM-199의 기본 배지에 10% FCS, 0.02IU/ml FSH와 $1{\mu}g/ml$ $estradiol-17{\beta}$를 첨가하여 사용하였다. 배반포 단계로 발육한 수정란은 1.5M ethylene glycol로 직접 이식법에 의한 동결 방법으로 동결을 실시하였고, 세포수는 융해 후 생존 수정란에 대해 조사하였다. 체외 배양 시간이 $16{\sim}17$시간 배양 조건에서 난자의 성숙율은 그룹 배양 조건$(27.1{\pm}16.8%)$보다는 단독 배양조건$(57.1{\pm}15.0%)$에서 성숙율이 높았다(p<0.05). 그러나 체외 배양 시간이 $18{\sim}19$ 시간과 $20{\sim}21$시간 배양시는 유사한 성숙율을 보였다. 난자의 체외 배양율은 체외 배양 시간의 증가에 의해 성숙도가 $86.3{\pm}9.9%$로 증가하였다. 접합체(zygote)의 분할율은 단독이나 그룹 배양 조건에서도 유사한 결과를 얻었다. 배반포 발달율은 배양 $7{\sim}8$일째에 조사한 결과 단독 배양 방법보다는 그룹 배양 방법에서 발달율이 높았으나, 분할된 접합체를 기준으로 한 경우 배반포 발달율$(S;\; 21.4{\pm}10.6%,\;G;\;39.0{\pm}13.1%)$에서는 유의적인 차이가 없었다. 단독 배양과 그룹 배양에서 $6.5{\pm}8$일 사이에 배반포로 발달된 수정란의 세포수 조사에서는 유사한 결과를 얻었다. 동결 융해 후 24시간 배양 후 배반포 생존율(5; 24.2%, G; 30.2%), 부화율(S: 20.9%, G: 12.7%) 및 생존 수정란수(S; 45.2%, G: 42.8%)에서도 배양 조건에 따른 유의적인 차는 없었다. 결론적으로 mSOF배양액을 이용하는 경우 미성숙 난자의 체외 성숙 유도 배양 시 단독이나 그룹 배양 시 배반포 발달율에서 그룹간에 유의적인 차가 인정되었다(p<0.01).

For large and rapid screening of high-yielding mutants of lovastatin produced by filamentous fungal cells of Aspergillus terreus, one of the most important stage is to test as large amounts of mutated strains as possible. For this purpose, we intended to develop a miniaturized cultivation method using $7m{\ell}$ culture tube instead of traditional $250m{\ell}$ flask (working volume $50m{\ell}$). For obtaining large amounts of conidiospores to be used as inoculums for miniaturized cultures, 4 components i.e., glucose, sucrose, yeast extract and $KH_2PO_4$ were intensively investigated, which had been observed to show positive effect on enhancement of spore production through Plackett-Burman design experimet. When optimum concentrations of these components that were determined through application of response surface method (RSM) based on central composite design (CCD) were used, maximum spore numbers amounting to $1.9\times10^{10}$ spores/plate were obtained, resulting in approximately 190 fold increase as compared to the commonly used PDA sporulation medium. Using the miniaturized cultures, intensive strain development programs were carried out for screening of lovastatin high-yielding as well as highly reproducible mutants. It was observed that, for maximum production of lovastatin, the producers should be activated through 'PaB' adaptation process during the early solid culture stage. In addition, they should be proliferated in condensed filamentous forms in miniaturized growth cultures, so that optimum amounts of highly active cells could be transferred to the production culture-tube as reproducible inoculums. Under these highly controlled fermentation conditions, compact-pelleted morphology of optimum size (less than 1 mm in diameter) was successfully induced in the miniaturized production cultures, which proved essential for maximal utilization of the producers' physiology leading to significantly enhanced production of lovastatin. As a result of continuous screening in the miniaturized cultures, lovastatin production levels of the 81% of the daughter cells derived from the high-yielding producers turned out to be in the range of 80%$\sim$120% of the lovastatin production level of the parallel flask cultures. These results demonstrate that the miniaturized cultivation method developed in this study is efficient high throughput system for large and rapid screening of highly stable and productive strains.

The growth of rotifer, Brachionus rotundiformis was evaluated at different culture conditions. Rotifer was fed on condensed freshwater Chlorella. The productivity of rotifer in the high density culture system was compared to that of rotifer in the batch culture system, in which rotifer was fed on baker's yeast. The growth rate of rotifer increased as temperature increased in the culture system supplied with air or oxygen gas. The maximum density of rotifer in the culture systems supplied with air was in range of 16,300$\~$17,000 ind./ml at $24^{\circ}C$. In the culture systems supplied with oxygen gas, it ranged 26,300$\~$30,500 ind/ml at $28^{\circ}C$. When the concentration of dissolved oxygen in the culture system supplied with air reached to below 1 ppm or when the concentration of undissolved ammonia in the culture system supplied with oxygen gas reached 16.6$\~$22.6 ppm, the growth of rotifer decreased. When oxygen gas was supplied and pH was adjusted to 7, the maximum density of rotifer reached to 43,000 ind/ml at $32^{\circ}C$. The production costs for 10 billion rotifer in the high density culture and batch culture were 693,000 and 961,000 won, respectively. Therefore, it was concluded that the productivity of rotifer in the high density culture was higher than that in a batch culture.

This study was conducted to compare various culture methods and evaluate economic feasibility of each method for mass propagation of new ever-bearing strawberry 'Goha'. Four different methods such as semi-solid culture, solid culture, liquid suspension culture and bioreactor culture were compared. The solid culture and bioreactor culture showed the shortest and longest root length, such as 3.6 cm and 8.3 cm, respectively. Fresh weights of plants cultured in bioreactor were 2,261 mg, which were heavier than those of cultures. Dry weights of plants cultured in bioreactor were the heavier compared to those in other cultures. The number of axillary bud developed in bioreactor was seven, but axillary bud was not developed in other cultures. Production cost through bioreactor culture was calculated to be 303 won per plant which was 542 won less than that of solid culture. As a result, we found that the bioreactor culture was the most cost effective culture method for in vitro mass propagation in new ever-bearing strawberry 'Goha'.

Effect of glucose feeding strategy and initial concentration of glucose on Serratia marcescens ATCC 27117 in high cell density fed-batch fermentation was investigated. The final biomasses in batch, constant feeding, constant and exponentially feeding strategy at glucose starvation condition in fed-batch were 1.40, 5,07, 6,93 and 7.60 g/L at 40, 41, 24 and 40 hrs, respectively. Productivities of biomass were 0.035, 0.124, 0.289 and 0.190 g/L$.$h, respectively. As a result, constant feeding strategy at starvation condition was 1.5∼8.6 times higher than other strategies. The relationship between dissolved oxygen and glucose feeding times was good identified in exponential feeding strategy and constant feeding strategy at starvation condition. And high cell density cultivation was obtained when minimal media was used.

Filter plate microbial trap (FPMT) was invented as an in situ cultivation device for the isolation of bacteria from natural environments. FPMT consists of a medium and membrane filters (0.45 ${\mu}m$ pore size) and microorganisms and compounds can be moved freely moved into the medium. This device was applied to two soil samples of Greenland. The microbial diversity of both soil samples by FPMT was higher than that by the conventional Petri dish-based method. Moreover, novel bacterial species were isolated by FPMT. The new FPMT is effective for in situ cultivation of natural samples and could be applicable to the isolation of uncultivable microorganism.

Fatty Acid contents of entomopathogenic nematodes(EPNs) were examined by various types of nematodes and culture methods. Seven different types EPNs cultured by in vivo did not contain same fatty acid contents, but similar compositions. It was also found that Steinernema carpocapsae among EPNs cultured by in vivo and in vitro contained not only different fatty acid contents, but also revealed distinctive motilities in a soil. The addition of olive oil in the in vitro culture medium resulted in similar fatty acid contents of S. carpocapsae to in vivo and greatly improved the pathogenicity of nematodes compared to that of soy oil in the medium.
