The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of an enriched diet supplemented with aqueous fibrolytic enzyme products (FEP) on In vitro fermentation and growth performance of Hanwoo Steers. Total mixed ration combined with fibrolytic enzyme products showed a slight increase in the pH level on In vitro fermentation. Acetate ratio in volatile fatty acids, and the concentration of total volatile fatty acids were significantly greater at 12hr and 24hr after cultivation (p<0.05). Dry matter digestibility was significantly increased in groups supplied with aqueous fibrolytic enzyme products at 24hr after cultivation (p<0.05). In a rearing trial, the average daily gain and feed efficiency improved in the treatment groups supplied with aqueous fibrolytic enzyme products. Nutrient digestibility such as DM, crude fiber, NDF, and ADF digestibility were also significantly increased with the addition of aqueous fibrolytic enzyme products (p<0.05). Therefore, the aqueous fibrolytic enzyme products supplementation on In vitro fermentation is effective in improving the condition of rumainal fermantation. Also two kinds of aqueous fibrolytic enzyme products were found to be effective in improving the average daily gain and feed efficiency in Hanwoo Steers.

For continuous culture of cellulolytic enzymes production to saccharify food wastes, refill concentration of Mandel's medium for continuous culture was 0.5%, and refill intervals were determined to 12 hours by analysis of COD and total nitrogen concentration after 4-days batch culture in flask level. As a result, amylase and FPase productivities were 3.5 and 1.0 U/L.hr, respectively. In 10 L bioreactor, the batch culture mode was compared with fed-batch, fill-and-draw for continuous production of cellulolytic enzyme. Enzyme productivities were most high at batch culture and followed by fed-batch culture. Amylase and FPase activities were 42.3 and 5.6 U/L.hr at batch culture, and 23.0, 2.8 U/L.hr at fed-batch culture, respectively. As a result, in continuous cultivation of cellulolytic enzymes by T. inhamatum KSJ1, the mode of fed-batch was most effective in 10 L bioreactor.

The activities of pectolytic and cellulolytic enzymes produced from slices of ginseng root infected with Cylindrocarpon destructains(Zins.) Scholtern were proportional to each concentration and reaction time. Activities of cellulase(Cx), endo-polygalacturonase(endo-PG), endo-polymethylg-alacturonase(endo-PMG), exo-polygalacturonase(exe-PG), and exe-polymethylgalacturonase(exo-PMG) were maximum on the 4th day after inoculation. No endo-PG and endo-PMG were detected at the first and second days, while exo-PG exo-PMG were active. On the 6th day, all pectic enzymes were completely lost, whereas Cx remained at a high concentration. pH optima of Cx, endo-PG, endo-PMG, exo-PG, and exo-PMG were 6.0, 5.5, 8.0, 7.0 to 7.5, and 8.5, respectively. Temperature optima of Cx, endo-PG, endo-PMG exo-PG, and exo-PMG were $66^{\circ}C\;53^{\circ}C\;41^{\circ}C\;37^{\circ}C\;and\;40^{\circ}C$, respectively. Cx was only inhibited by $0.05M\; Hg^{++}$ among 16 ions tested. Inhibitory effects of ions on pectolytic enzymes varied, however$M Fe^{+++}\;and\;0.05M\;Al^{+++}$ were the best in general. Among 8 fungicides, none of them inhibited all the enzymes studied at $0.1\%$, active ingredients. Exo-PG were highly inhibited by all of the fungicides, of which difolatan was the most inhibitory to all the pectic enzymes. $Ca^{++}\; at\; 0.02M\; and\;Fe^{+++}\;at\;0.02M$ completely inhibited all the pectolytic enzymes, and Cx was inhibited $30\%$ and $70\%$ at the same concentration, respectively Formalin almost inhibited exo-PG and exe-PMG at $0.8\%$ but not the other enzymes especially Cx. Difolatan at $0.8\%$ inhibited all the enzymes concerned above $80\%$. The cellulolytic and pectolytic enzymes of C. destructans must be closely associated with the ginseng root rot and should be inhibited to control the disease effectively.

The aim of this investigation was to resolve the contradiction between the results of Sternberg and Mandels (1980, 1982)and those of Nisizawa et al., (1971) in cellulase induction by sophorose, and furthermore to study the conditional effects in sophorose-induced cellulase induction in Trichoderma reesei QM 9414. Sophorose could induce the synthesis of CMCase and ${\beta}-glucosidase$ simultaneously. Optimal induction medium by sophorose had the potassium citrate buffer solution of pH 3.0-4.0 for CMCase, but one of pH 5.0-6.0 for ${\beta}-glucosidase$. At this time, two different types of ${\beta}-glucosidase$ could be induced by sophorose: one was extracellular and had maximum at pH 5.0, the other was intracellular and had maximum activity at pH6.5. Induction study showed that $methyl-{\beta}-glucoside$ was not a true inducer of ${\beta}-glucosidase$ and that large ${\beta}-glucosidase$ induction could be obtained only by the addition of sophorose into the induction medium. Glucose repressed the induction of cellulase by sophorose. The repression of glucose could not be overcome by the addition of cyclic AMP into the induction medium.

The cellulases production in solid state fermentation (SSF) of Trichoderma harzianum FJ1 with high cellulases productivity using cellulosic wastes was investigated. Physical and chemical conditions of the fermentation, such as moisture content, initial pH, and composition of mixed substrate (wine waste, rice straw, and soybean flour) on FPase (Filter paper activity) production were examined. The enzyme production was optimized in the conditions of moisture content of 70%, pH 5.0, 3$0^{\circ}C$, and 1:1:1 composition of mixed substrate containing wine waste, rice straw, and soybean flour. The highest activities of FPA, CMCase, Xylanase, $\beta$-glucosidase, and Avicelase in the optimized culture conditions were 15.2, 69.1, 83.9, 29.2, and 4.2 unit/g-SDW in 5 day cultivation, respectively. Economical and efficient production of cellulolytic enzymes by T harzianum FJ1 using cellulosic wastes in solid state fermentation will contribute to the biological saccharification of cellulosic wastes with enormous potential resource value in future.

The aim of this study was tofind out the effects of supplementation of vitamin A to the diets of high or low amounts of concentrates for ruminants. In the first experiment, ruminal fermentation patterns with the data of pH, VFA production and cellulose disappearance rates in the rumen in vitro were investigated. In the second experiment, enzyme activities, gas production and dry matter degradabilities using cellulolytic bacteria, Ruminococcus flavefaciens were investigated. Ruminal pH was higher in low amounts of concentrates than in high amounts of concentrates as expected, however, no significant differences were found. Cellulose disappearance rates improved in vitamin A addition particularly in early incubation time (before 24h) and also the production of volatile fatty acids increased in vitamin A addition. These trends were more evident in diets containing high amounts of concentrates than in low amounts of concentrates and it may indicate that vitamin A is more required in the diets of high amounts of concentrates. In the second experiment, gas production, enzyme activities and dry matter degradabilities using cellulolytic bacteria, Ruminococcus flavefaciens were not different between vitamin A added and non-added diets. Ruminococcus flavefaciens may not require additional vitamin A for its own growth.

A carboxymethyl cellulase (CMCase) bas been isolated and purified from Lampteromyces japonicus. The molecular weight of CMCase was estimated to be 42 kDa by sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The maximum activity of the purified CMCase was observed at pH 6.0 and $30^{\circ}C$, and stable for pH 4 to 7 to maintain 40% activity. The CMCase activity was activated by $Al_{2}(SO_{4})_{3}$, and inhibited by SDS. Also, the enzyme activity was decreased by the addition of ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA), suggesting that the purified CMCase is metalloenzyme.

In the studies of microbiological utilization of cellulosic wastes, cellulolytic fungi were isolated and screened out. At the first stage, 221 cellulolytic fungi were isolated from different sources such as soils, humus, composts and rotten wood debris by enrichment culture techniques. In the second stage, 36 strains of fungi out of those previously isolated were selected for their cellulase activities estimated by means of filter paper degradation, carboxy methyl cellulose liquefaction and cup method. Activities of C$_1$-cellulase, C$\sub$x/-cellulase and filter paper activity were adopted on the final screening stage and five different strains which are tentatively identified as Aspergillus sp.(strain No. AS-9), Penicillium sp. (strain No. KNI-1-2), Trichoderma, sp. (strain No. KI-7-2, KI-7-5, KI-4-1-1B) were selected for their high potency of C$_1$ and C$\sub$x/-cellulase activities. When rice straw milled and treated with NH$_4$OH was hydrolyzed with the crude enzyme Prepared from the culture broth of Trichoderma sp. (strain No. KI-4-1-1B), saccharification rate was obtained up to 26％.
