This study was carried out to establish an in vitro culture method of callus having a high antioxidant activity from Ginkgo biloba L. Leaf explants were cultured on Murashige and Skoog's medium supplemented with various growth regulators. The explants were incubated in the dark or 3,000 lux cool-white light. Methanol extracts from incubated callus were evaluated for scavenging activity of the free radicals using DPPH. The best callus growth rate was achieved in MS medium combined with 10 ${\mu}M$ NAA and 5 ${\mu}M$ kinetin in the light condition. Total antioxidant activity of cell aggregates in suspension culture [MS medium supplemented with 10 ${\mu}M$ NAA in the light] was up to 80% of ascorbic acid. By means of HPLC analysis, quantification of the quercetin dehydrate and keamperol profiles from suspension callus was compared. Contents of quercetin dehydrate and keamperol from leaf extracts were 0.07 and 2.24 ${\mu}g/20{\mu}l$, and those from callus 0.56 and 0.18 ${\mu}g/20{\mu}l$, respectively.

Methanol이용 미생물의 집적배양을 통해 토양 및 하수로부터 분리하여 그 중에서 비교적 생육속도가 빠른 균주를 선별하였다. 이 균주는 형태적, 생리적 특성에 따라 Methylomonas methanolica로 동정되었으며 obligate methylotroph 이었다. 균체 생산량을 높이기 위한 배지조성과 배양 최적조건을 검토한 결과, 탄소원으로는 methanol 0.8%(v/v), 질소원은 $(NH_4)_2SO_4$ 0.6%, 금속이온은 $MgSO_4.$ $7H_2O$ 0.1%이었고, 최적 pH는 6.3, 최적 배양온도는 $32.5^{\circ}C이었으며,$ 생육인자는 요구되지 않았다. 그리고 최적 배양조건에서 1ι용 fer-mentor를 사용하여 회분배양을 하였을 때 최대 비증식속도 0.19$hr^{-1}$, 균체수율은 0.47g dry cell/g-methanol이었다.

This study was conducted in order to optimize the media composition and cultural conditions for kasugamycin production by Streptomyces kasugaensis. The optimum culture conditions are pH 6.6 (before sterilization) and $28^{\circ}C$ for the production of kasugamycin. The kasugamycin concentration was not increased when silicone oil as antifoam agent was added. The addition of water during the cultivation in the various media showed a positive effect for the production of kasugamycin.

The optimal condition for Morus alba cv was an MS culture medium at $27^{\circ}C$ for 20 days. Cheongmoknosang callus showed inhibitory activity against Helicobacter pylori at 1.05 g of wet weight of the cultured callus. The callus formation of Morus alba cv. Cheongmoknosang was influenced by naphthalene acetic acid (NAA), 2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid (2,4-D), 6-benzylaminopurine (BA) and kinetin at concentrations of 2 mg/l. The growth rate of callus was higher than it was when these hormones were mixed with a single hormone. Thus, the optimal condition for direct callogenesis was to incubate with mixture (2,4-D/NAA) of 2 mg/l concentration at $27^{\circ}C$ for 20 days. Moreover, the optimal culture condition of the biomass in the mass production of inhibitory compounds against Helicobacter pylori from Morus alba cv. Cheongmoknosang callus was to incubate in an MS broth (each concentration 1 mg/l of 2,4-D and BA). When Morus alba cv. Cheongmoknosang callus were incubated for 20 days in a bioreactor, Helicobacter pylori inhibition of callus extracts was the highest at a clear zone of 16 mm.

Fungi which produce red pigment were isolated from tapioca chips, Korean Koji, air, and plant leaves. Among the Fungi, T-1 strain was selected as test strain. This strain was identified as a Monatcus sp. by the morphological propeties. Various culture conditions, and physical and physiological characteristics of red pigment were studied. According to the studies of culture conditions, optimum condition was found to be pH 6.5; 4 days of incubation; temperature, 32~33 c: 3.5％ of Tapioca chips powder as carbon source, 0.2％ of sodium nitrate as nitrogen source and 100 ml of medium in the 500 ml Erlenmyer flask at a rotary shaker (rpm180) as aeration condition. Also effective levels of vitamins, amino acids and inorganic compounds was found to be l$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml of folic acid and niacin; 0.3％ of L-arginine, L-glutamic acid and L-proline; and 0.001％ of manganese dioxide giving good results.

Optimization of culture conditions for pigment production of Monascus purpureus P-57 mutant was investigated in liquid culture. The optimum composition of medium for the pigment production was $4\%$ rice power, $0.1\%$ beef extract, $0.03\%$ glutamic acid, $0.1\%\;MgSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O,\;0.25\%\;KH_2PO_4$, the optimum initial pH was 5.0. And the optimum culture conditions was at $30^{\circ}C$ for 8 days under 150 rpm with shaking. M. purpureus P-57 mutant produced the highest pigment as 356.04 units at red pigment and as 268.20 units at yellow pigment, and produced high cell mass as 15.00 g/L in liquid culture under the optimum conditions.

A defensin is an inducible antibacterial peptide from a fleshfly and contains 40 residues basic peptide with six cysteines. For the consiruction of recombinant S cerevisiae expressing defensin, the structural gene coding for active defensin was chemically synthesized and fused in fiam to GAP promoter, MFul preprosequence and the GAL7 transcription terminator, generating a recombinant plasnlid pGMD18. S. ce~evisine 2805 Gells were transror~ned to uracil prototroph by the pGMDl8 arid the transformed cells showing antibacterial activity against 111. luteus TAM1056 were selected by growth inhibition zone assay. The optimal culture conditions for the unprovement of the defensin production of a selected tmdonnant were investigated. The optirmzed medium containing 0.4% yeast extract, 2% corn steep liquor, 2.5% glucose and 0.05% $C_2CO_3$, could be determined and the optimum lemperature. and initial pH could be detennnied as $28^{\circ}C$ and pH 3, ~mpectively. The optimized conditioiis revealed the trvofold Increase in the cell growth and the fourfold in the antibaclerial activity. coinpar-ed with tllc Yl'D medium.

Artomyces microspora is a genus of coral fungi from the family Auriscalpiaceae that have sporophores which are clavarioid, profusely and pyxidately branched, and devoid of a conspicuous stipe. These fungi can be found in summer and fall. This study aimed to decipher fundamental information regarding optimal growth conditions of Artomyces microsporus mycelia, including pH, temperature, carbon sources, and nitrogen sources. Based on the assessment of colony diameter and mycelial density, the optimal culture medium, temperature, and pH for mycelial growth were found to be PDA, 25 ℃, and pH 5.0, respectively. Furthermore, the study revealed that the optimal carbon and nitrogen sources for mycelial growth were 1% soluble starch and 2% malt extract, respectively. The other suitable inorganic nitrogen sources were deemed to be 0.1% NH₄H₄PO₄ and 0.1% aspartic acid.

The demand for probiotic products has been steadily increasing, and Lactobacillus strains are widely used and are currently the most popular probiotics. Optimizing culture conditions for Lactobacillus production for use as probiotics will enhance their profitability by reducing production costs and time. Statistical analysis using response surface methodology revealed the following optimal sets of independent variables: 22.55 h (cultivation time), 25℃ (cultivation temperature), and 3.41% (w/w, prebiotics concentration) for Lactobacillus acidophilus; 24 h, 30.86℃, and 2% (w/w) for Lactiplantibacillus plantarum; 66.67 h, 35℃, and 3.41% (w/w) for Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus. Actual outcomes using predicted optimal conditions for Lactobacillus strains have been confirmed to closely match predicted results. This study will provide valuable guidelines for high yield Lactobacillus production.

The effects of fermentation conditions and medium compositions on the production of vitamin $B_{12}$ by Propionibacterium shermanii IFO 1239 were studied. Changes from an anaerobic to aerobic condition and a complex to synthetic medium after 48hr resulted in a 100% increase in vitamin $B_{12}$ production compared to an anaerobic culture alone. Glucose, fructose and lactose were found to be equally good as a carbon source for vitamin $B_{12}$ production. Addition of succinate and malate to the synthetic medium with glucose as a carbon source led to an increase in vitamin $B_{12}$ production by 33.6% and 17.2% respectively.
