Effects of benzyladenine (BA) on viability, cell wall regeneration and division of soybean (Glycine max, Var. Acme) protoplasts isolated from suspension cells of cotyledonary callus were investigated. The uptake of BA by the protoplasts was also studied. BA increased protoplast viability, and promoted cell wall regeneration and cell division. The level of BA in protoplasts was increased to a maximum at about 20 hour incubation and 2/3 of the total amount of BA accumulated in protoplast was absorbed within 6 hours.

The structure of the seed of Lupinue angustifolius was studied in order to investigate the Food quality of lupin seed in comparision with soybean. The cotyledonary cells of lupinseed was in egg-like shape and much (more than 4 times) larger than those of soybean. The microstructure of cotyledonary cells of lupinseed was characterized with thick cell wall having distinct pit-pairs. The protein bodies in lupinseed cotyledon cell contained numerous crystaloids, which was absent in soybean. The middle lamella of soybean cell was partially disintegrated by excessive heat treatment ($120^{\circ}C$, 20 min), whereas those of lupinseed did not change much by heting at $120^{\circ}C$ for 130 min.

The growth of two different fungal species, human pathogenic Cryptococcus neoformans and plant pathogenic Alternaria alternata were inhibited by a chitinase (Chi2) expressed in the autolysing tissue of Coprinellus congregatus. The cell wall thickness was reduced (up to 32%) in C. neoformans compared with that of normal cell, and polysaccharide fibers located outside of the cell wall were also severely removed. The hyphal growth of A. alternata on agar plate was stopped by the enzyme. The allergic inflammation induced by A. alternata was reduced by the enzyme reaction when compared with untreated control in a mouse model.

Cell wall components were decreased during maturation and postharvest of persimmon fruits. Contents of pectin and alkali-soluble hemicellulose were increased during maturity, but those of acid-soluble hemicellulose were decreased. Contents of pectin and alkali-soluble hemicellulose were decrease in soft persimmon, whereas acid-soluble hemicellulose was increased remarkably. Cellulose contents were increased during maturation and this tend was notable in soft persimmon. Contents of cell wall polysaccharides per 100g-fresh weight were decreased. Contents of total pectin and insoluble pectin were increased during maturation but decreased in soft persimmon. Content of water-soluble pectin was increased during maturation and postharvest.

Two methods were used to extract pectin from apple cell wall by enzyme(Hemicellulase) and by acid. Hemicellulase was used to extract high functional pectin with higher degree of polymerization. The yield of weight of pectin by hemicellulase treatment was slightly higher than that by acid treatment. The optimal condition for extraction was accomplished by providing 1.5 grams of Hemicellulase at 38$^{\circ}C$ for 24 hours. The comparison of the pectin purity and the yield of extracts by the portion of galacturonic acid between two methods showed that the purity of pectin extracted by enzymatic method was lower than that by acid treatment.

The most energy-intensive processes in lipids extraction were the disruption of the cell wall of microalgae. Here, we tried to extract lipids through lysis using virus-infecting microalgae, to compare with those by the other two methods using microwave or ultrasonication. The lipids yield using viral infection was not significantly different from those using ultrasonication and microwave oven. This suggests that the same amount of lipids can be obtained with low energy and costs, as well as that microalgal lipids extraction by chlorella virus infection might provide the price competitiveness in biodiesel production even if it will be applied to mass production facilities.

Overall procedure of cell fusion between Brevibacterium flavum and Corynebacterium glutamicum was morphologically observed by transmission electron microscopy. Protoplasts formed by treatment of cells with penicillin G and lysozyme in order were released through the pores generated on a certain region of cell walls to be spherical form. When two different protoplasts were met, cell wall and membrane in the contact zone was disappeared and followed by the mutual exchange of cytoplasmic and/or chromosomal materials. Cell xall regeneration speed of the protoplasts fused was slower than that of the non-fused, whereas the size of the former was confirmed as bigger than that of the latter.

The lignin degrading fungi were isolated from decayed woods and fruiting bodies gathered in forest area. Lignin degradation ability was investigated by Klason lignin of microbial treated pine wood. Among selected fungi, CJ-6 had 49.48% Klason lignin loss which was greater than 40.58% shown by Trametes versicolor that it is known as a typical lignin degrading fungus. Also, the biodegradation process and morphological features of degraded pine wood by selected fungi were observed with the scanning electron microscope. At the stage of 20 days incubation, mycelia invasion was observed without any failure of wood structure. At 60 days, wood decay was gone in some degree and one part of tracheid and ray wall was destroyed. At 100 days, tracheid wall was severely destroyed, and distinction between ray cell was difficult as cell wall was decayed much.

표고버섯(Lentinus edodes) 균에 의한 졸참나무(Quercus serrata)골목의 미시형태적 변화를 주사형전자현미경 (SEM)을 통해 관찰하였다. 표고 재배 5년후 골목의 중량 감소율은 50%에 달했다. 구성세포중 목섬유는 표고균사에 의해 쉽게 분해되었으나 도관과 유세포는 저항성을 나타냈다. SEM 관찰 결과 표고균사는 세포내강(內腔)에서부터 세포벽을 서서히 분해 박벽화(薄壁化)시켰으며, 또한 Cell corner가 중간층보다 먼저 공격을 받아 분해 되었으나 중간층은 쉽게 분해되지 않았다. 흥미롭게도 연부후(軟腐朽)의 전형적 형태인 2차막에서의 공동(空洞)역시 백색부후균인 표고균사에 의해 형성 되었다. 이상의 관찰결과 표고균은 백색부후와 연부후균이 갖는 미시형태적 특징을 동시에 보여 주었다. 아울러 중간층 보다 Cell corner가 먼저 선택적으로 분해되며, 도관세포벽의 분해저항성을 세포벽 구성 리그닌의 화학적 특성과 연관시켜 논의했다.

The protoplast formation of Streptomyces mitakaensis was monitored with scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The normal cells formed regular mycelium and spore, and their cell wall and cell membrane appeared to be normal, but the cell wall of the lysozyme treated cells (1 mg/$m\ell$) was damaged, which was finally disappeared from cells to become protoplast in 30 to 60 minutes.
