We evaluated cultivation methods to obtain pure cultures of previously uncultivated bacteria from soil. Soil bacteria (suspensions) were inoculated onto various oligotrophic media with one of the following additives: 1) soil extract; 2) anthraquinone disulfonate (humic acid analogue); 3) acyl homoserine lactones (quorum-signaling compounds); 4) catalase (for the protection of bacteria from exogenous peroxides). After the relatively long period (60 days) of incubation with elevated concentrations of $CO_2$ (5%, v/v), the media containing catalase showed the highest colony count. We purified 147 randomly selected colonies from the media and the isolates were subjected to the phylogenetic analyses of their 16S rRNA gene sequences. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that approximately 30% of the isolates might belong to novel species or novel family, suggesting that the media and incubation conditions used could be useful for the cultivation of as-yet-uncultured bacteria. Especially, bacteria belonging to the phylum Acidobacteria, ubiquitous bacterial taxon known as an uncultured bacterial group (at least difficult to culture from environmental samples), were successfully cultured in this study.

The conditions for production of high cell density of Bifidobacterium longum were investigated and the cross-flow filtration system was used to remove the inhibitory metabolites, lactic acid and acetic acid. The maximum cell growth was observed with glucose as carbon source at the concentration of 50 g/l at $37^{\circ}C$ with the initial pH 6.5. When B. longum was cultured in a cross-flow filtration system, the maximum cell growth was observed at a dilution rate(D) of $0.31\;h^{-1}$ and the dry cell weight was 16.4 g/l($3.5{\times}10^{10}\;cell/ml$), which was about four times higher than that obtained in the batch culture with pH control.

분화용 베고니아 유묘기의 양분흡수 특성을 구명하기 위하여 광강도와 배양액 농도 처리하에 실험을 진행하였다. 엽면적은 광에 의한 차이는 크게 나타나지 않았고 양액의 농도는 EC가 1.0 dSㆍm$^{-1}$처와 1.5 dSㆍm$^{-1}$에서 0.5 dSㆍm$^{-1}$보다 높게 나타났다. 초장은 광강도가 가장 낮은 처리구에서 길었고 약 38%와 60% 차광율 처리사이에는 큰 차이가 없었다. 또한 배양액의 농도에 따라서는 EC가 1.5 dSㆍm$^{-1}$인 처리구에서 EC가 1.0 dSㆍm$^{-1}$과 0.5 dSㆍm$^{-1}$인 처리구보다 초장이 길었다. 엽의 생체중도 처리에 따라 유의적인 차이가 나타났다. 광강도가 가장 낮은 처리구에서 생체중이 가장 높았으나 엽의 건물중은 처리간 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 배양액의 농도처리에 있어서 EC가 1.0 dSㆍm$^{-1}$과 1.5 dSㆍm$^{-1}$인 처리구에서 EC가 0.5 dSㆍm$^{-1}$인 처리구보다 엽의 생체중이 높게 나타났다. 그러나 배양액의 농도는 엽의 건물중에 영향을 주지 않았다. 줄기의 생체중과 건물중은 처리간 차이가 크게 나타나지 않았다. 다량원소의 흡수율을 조사한 결과 주로 배양액의 농도가 증가함에 따라 양분의 흡수율이 증가한다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 광강도의 차이에 따라서 양분의 흡수율이 영향을 받는다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 광강도가 매우 낮은 처리구에서 양액의 흡수는 적었지만 높은 양분흡수율을 보였고 이러한 특성은 각 이온의 종류에 따라 약간의 차이를 보였다.

The cell of Kluyveromyces fragilis yeast, which is worthy of an algal substitute, was disrupted by a chemical treatment to increase the digestion of filter-feeders that yeasts are fed to. The optimum conditions of the chemical treatment were obtained by incubating yeasts at 3$0^{\circ}C$ for one hour after treated by 1 M of Na$_{2}$-EDTA that was dissolved in 0.2 M of Tris-buffer and by 0.3 m of 2-mercaptoethanol. The percentage of protop[last production was about 30%. The percentage could be doubled by the pretreatment of three times of 30 seconds sonication.

사람 T-임파구에서 방사선 독성물질인 감마선과 화학적 독성물질인 PCP(pentachlorophenol)의 돌연변이 효과를 hprt (hypoxanthine phosphoribosyl transferase) 유전자의 돌연변이빈도로써 측정하였다. 감마선은 $^{137}$Cs원을 사용하여, 0 - 300 rads의 양으로 세포의 초기배양 시기에 조사하였으며, PCP는 역시 세포의 초기배양시 최종농도 0-100 ppm으로 24시간 투여 하였다. 양 돌연변이원은 hprt유전자를 돌연변이 시키어, 300rads의 조사는 대조군에 비하여 약 7.5배의 돌연변이빈도의 증가를 나타내었고, PCP 500 ppm의 처리는 대조군에 비하여 약 5배의 돌연변이빈도 증가를 나타내었다. 본 실험에 사용된 상이한 두 돌연변이원은 모두 비교적 정확한 용량-반응 관계를 보였으나, 환경독성물질들의 혼합효과에서 돌연변이원을 정성하기위하여 개선된 T-cell hprt clonal assay, 즉 reverse transcriptase/polymerase chain reaction 및 direct sequencing에 의한 mutational spectrum의 적용이 요구되었다.

In order to investigate the effects of growth regulators on the formation of capsaicinoids in callus of Capsicum annuum L. tissues were cultured in the Linsmaier and Skoog RM 1964 medium containing various growth regulators. Production of capsaicinoids during culture was monitored by gas chromatography. In the presence of $10^{-6}M$ of 2,4-D and kinetin in the medium, $1182{\mu}g$ of capsaicinoids were formed per 100g dry wt. of tissue, of which was greater than with any of three other growth regulators. IAA, NAA, and kinetin of same concentrations had 65%, 38%, 68% effect of 2.4-D in capsaicinoids formation, respectively. Production of capsaicinoids increased gradually in the presence of 2,4-B as culture period was proceeded. Of phenylpropanoids formed, cinnamic acid and coumaric acid were not significantly different in their levels, although growth regulators were varied. On the other hand, caffeic acid and ferulic acid formation were highest in the presence of 2,4-D. Effects of kinetin and IAA were about 70 percent of that of 2,4-D, whereas NAA had only about 30 percent effect. Phenylalanine ammonia-lyase activity in cultured tissue was increased during the periods; 52, 81, and 209 n moles of cinnamic acid per g fresh wt. were formed after 5, 15, and 25 days of culture, respectively.

A lactic acid bacterial strain showing fast growth and high acid production in Korean pear puree was isolated from Kimchi. This strain was analyzed by API 50 CHL kit and 16S rRNA sequencing analysis and identified as Leuconostoc (Ln.) mesenteroides KACC 91495P. Korean pear puree was fermented using Ln. mesenteroides KACC 91495P strain at $30^{\circ}C$ for 18 h. The changes of pH, titratable acidity and viable cell number during fermentation were investigated. The pH and titratable acidity were reached to pH 3.86 and 1.09% after 18 h fermentation, respectively. The viable cell population of Ln. mesenteroides KACC 91495P was rapidly increased to $2.0{\times}10^9\;CFU/g$ during the 9 h of cultivation. The contents of lactic acid, acetic acid and malic acid were determined to be 0.213, 0.259, and 0.217% after 18 h fermentation, respectively. The content of polyphenolic compounds, known as antioxidants, in pear puree were enhanced by Ln. mesenteroides KACC 91495P cultivation. The level of total polyphenolic compounds was increased to around 140% of initial concentration. When the fermented pear puree was kept at $4^{\circ}C$, pH, titratable acidity and number of viable cells population were nearly maintained for 13 days.

The effects of bisphenol-A(BPA), a monomer of plastics used in many consumer products, on vitellogenin(VTG) synthesis were examined in primary hepatocyte culture of olive flounder, Paralichthys olivaceus. The hepatocytes were precultured for 2 days, and then estradiol-$17\beta(10^{-6}M)$ and BPA were simultaneously added to the incubation medium. The hepatocytes were cultured for 6 more days and then spent medium was analyzed by SDS-PAGE. BPA increased the rate of VTG to total protein concentrations in a concentration-dependent way, and a significant difference was obtained at concentrations of $10^{-6}M$ and $10^{-5}M$ (P<0.05). In particular, the rate of VTG to total protein concentrations was 26.36% at $10^{-5}M$ of BPA, and its level did not differ from the control level with $E_2$ alone. $E_2$ and/or BPA-primed VTG synthesis was markedly inhibited to about 80% of the control(with $E_2$) by the addition of tamoxifen($10^{-6}M$) to the incubation medium. Furthermore, In vivo $E_2$-primed VTG synthesis was significantly inhibited by in vitro $E_2$-free incubation of hepatocyte to about 22% of the control (with $E_2$) on Day 6. The effect of reducing was delayed in a BPA concentration-dependent way. These results suggest that BPA induce VTG synthesis by estrogenic activity through estrogen receptor mediated response and prolong VTG synthesis on vitellogenesis in olive flounder.
