L-Threonine fermentation process was constructed on batch and fed-batch culture by using Escherichia coli MT201. The production type of L-threonine was observed as growth-associated production in batch culture. In fed-batch culture studying optimal concentration of yeast extract in feeding media, when 600 g/l of glucose and 60 g/l of yeast extract were added in feeding media, 87 g/$\ell$ of L-threonine was produced. To improve cell growth and L-threonine production, the culture of high cell density was performed in fed-batch culture with oxygen enriched air and feeding media containing L-methionine and phosphate. Under the conditions, we could achieve the highest L-threonine production of98 g/$\ell$ at 60 h. The highest productivity of L-threonine was about 3.85 g/$\ell$/h.

The possibility of using waste brine and cabbage waste from kimchi industry as raw materials for the production of yeast cell mass was investigated. Among four strains of osmotolerant yeast, Candida guilliermondii ATCC 6260 showed the best growth in the waste brine containing about 1.0g/L of reducing sugar and 7% to 12% of NaCl. The growth of C. guilliermondii in waste brine was affected slightly between the temperature range of $25^{\circ}C$ to $35^{\circ}C$ and the initial pH of 3 to 6. The NaCl concentration up to 9% was not inhibitory to the growth of C. guilliermondii and the addition of 10mM of ammonium salts or 5mM of potassium phosphate had no effect on the growth. The growth of yeast reduced BOD of the waste brine by 85% within 24hours. When C. guilliermondii was cultured in waste brine added with cabbage juice extracted from waste cabbage, the cell mass was increased significantly.

The induction of calli from tissues of a grape, Vitis hybrid, and their suspension cultures were performed and various factors were investigated on cell growth and anthocyanin production. It was shown that light intensity and inorganic nitrogen concentration played an important role on anthocyanin production.1:he contents of anthocyanin produced under 10,000 Iux light irradiation were about twice as much as under the dark. The reduction of inorganic nitrogen concentration of MS medium to one to twenty brought about the increase of approximately five to six-fold in total anthocyanin or sixteenfold in anthocyanin content per dry cell weight and addition of nitrate only as inorganic nitrogen source was shown to be the best for anthocyanin production. Miller medium and Gamborg medium were suitable for the anthocyanin production, as well as high concentrations of Co$^{2+}$ and Fe$^{2+}$. And high yield of 40mg anthocyanins per 200m1 flask was obtained by two stage culture using MS medium for the first stage and the modified MS medium for the second stage.

In order to induce immature pollen derived plants, anthers of Ranunculus japonicus Thunb. were cultured on Murashige and Skoog's medium supplemented with various combinations of auxins and cytokinins. The combinations of NAA and BA were more effective than those of 2,4-D and kinetin in the formation of calli and embryos. Up to 5t5% of the anthers cultured on medium containing 0.5 mg/L NAA and 1.0 mg/L BA gave rise to plantlets. The most suitable stage for anther culture in the induction of calli and/or embryos from immature pollens was at the uninucleate and early binucleate stage (3 days before anthesis). Immature pollens developed into embryos by repeated division of the vegetative nucleate after 60days of culture.

Recently successful induction of haploid plant by means of anther culture method has become a big topic among geneticists and plant breeders. The haploid plant can be used as a precious material for such basic researches as mutation or genetics. Once the haploid is obtained, production of homozygous plant is not a difficult problem. The method of producing homozygous plant can, also, be applied to the practical breeding works. When applied to the hybridization of self-fertilizing breeding period would be greatly shortened and in cross-fertilizing vegetables production of uniform hybrid seed would be very easily obtained. Last few years many scientists attempted anther cultures using various plant species, but it was successful only in several species. Unlike the other tissue cultures which use somatic organs or tissues as explants, anther culture seems to be very difficult because the plants or calli have to be induced from the haploid microspores or pollen grains. In the present experiment anther culture of fruit trees and ornamental shrubs of four genera and seven species was attemped. Anthers of Various stages ranging from tetrad and late microspore were cultured on the modified Murashige and Skoog's medium supplemented with various concentrations of auxins and kinetin as growth regulators. Handling of materials, sterilization, and other operations of culture were done by routine methods. The results were summarized as follows: 1. Calli were induced in the anthers of Forsythia Koreana Nak., Rhododendron mucronuratum Turcz., R. yedoense Max. var. Poukhanense Nak., and Prunus armeniaca L. var. ansu Max. No signs of callus were observed in Prunus persica Sieb. et Zucc. var. vurgaris Max., Pyrus ussuriensis var. macrostipes (Nak.), and Prunus salcina Lindley. 2. Calli were easily formed in any of the media with differing concentrations of auxins and kinetin. 3. In F. Koreana calli developed from anther surface and connective. Callus emerging out of anther locule was not observed. 4. Somatic calli arose from filament, connective, and inside of anther wall in R. mucronulatum. Many of the microspores accumulated starch grains. 5. The anther lobes located opposite the filament of R. yedoense turned easily to calli. This phenomenon was not observed in R. mucronulatum. Microspore embedded for a period in the medium became starch pollen. No callus was observed arising from microspore. 6. In P. armeniaca calli were not induced from somatic anther tissues. Instead, callus emerged out of anther locule rupturing the anther slit. Starch was not formed in the microspore. 7. In P. persica, Pyrus ussuriensis, and P. salcina, calli were not observed in the anthers examined more than 60 days after culture. Microspores of these species, however, were free of starch grains even after long period of subculture. 8. It was learned that somatic calli of the species examined arose usually from endothelium of anther wall, septum of two neighboring anther locules, parenchyma tissues of connectives, or anther lobes. 9. In the anther locule of P. armeniaca cultured long in medium, swollen microspores, polynucleate microspores, multicellular pollen grains, or callus mass were frequently observed, this indicating that the callus of this species was microspore-origin. 10. It was clarified that in P. armeniaca production of haploid plant by anther culture might be possible.

Anther and/or tissue culture of cross pollinated crops would be very important because it can result in the direct use of haploids or doubled haploids for developing superior hybrids or varieties. The objective of the study was to investigate the response frequencies in anther and/or tissue-cultured hybrids of corn. pearl millet and buckwheat to identify agronomically acceptable germplasm of the crops. 27 crosses of corn inbred lines were evaluated by plating their anthers on N6. MS and Yu-Pei media. Two genotypes of FR1l41/FR16 hybrid cultured on N6 medium and Fla 2BT73/S6013 hybrid cultured on N6 medium responded with one anther producing calli when plated after 5$^{\circ}C$ low temperature treatment for one week. Immature embryos of corn hybrid Suwon 19 responded producing calli that were regenerated to plants at a 8.6 percent success rate. Of the 20 corn hybrids. immature tessels of FR1l41/FR16. B68/A1l6N//KS15. KS16/KS17. GA209/DB578 and SDB126/GA209 crosses responded at a relatively higher success rate producing calli that were regenerated to plants. In tissue culture of elongating culms of pearl millet x Napier grass interspecific hybrid. 2.5-4.0mm long pieces of the culm were good for callus induction resulting in higher success rate. The epicotyl of buckwheat was very good for tissue culture. and the node produced the plants regenerated directly without callus induction on the B5 medium containing I ppm BA and 0.05 ppm IBA. There were great differences in response to anther and/or tissue culture of corn, pearl millet and buckwheat due to genotype x medium and environment interactions.

Addition of carbon and nitrogen source to an alcohol distillery wastewater was tried to increase the cell concentration of a b baker's yeast cultivated in that wastewater. Carbon was found to be primary limiting nutrient and nitrogen secondary limiting o one. Glucose addition increased the cell concentration 1.3 times higher than no addition, and both glucose and $(NH_4)_2S0_4$ a addition did 5.8 times. A fed-batch cultivation by the automatic addition of glucose and ammonium was executed. Added g glu$\infty$se was automatically controlled to low concentration by a method using DO as control parameter. Ammonium was a automatically added as NH40H used as pH $\infty$ntrol agent after initiating glucose addition. By this simple cultivation method t the cell concentration $\infty$내d be efficiently increased from 2.6g/L to 12.0g/L, and maximum specific growth rate and biomass y yield to glu$\infty$se were $0.18hr^{-1}$ and about 0.54g/g respectively. By increasing cell concentration, COD of the wastewater m media could be additionally reduced by about 22%.

Sprial adaptation technique of conditioned media has been applied to cultivate human cell line which can not survive in a serum free mdium without adding any growth factors in basal medium Doubling time and scu-PA production from serum free adapted cells were 5 days and 890 (IU/mL), respectively in a T-flask, whose values were not much lower than the productivity of 1100(IU/mL) from 5% serum containing medium. It was required to use conditioned media for attaching cells on microcarriers when cells were inoculated into a spinner vessel. Then, cells could continuously grow in serum free medium with having specific growth rate of 0.106 (1/day) and specific scu-PA production rate of $1.58{\times}10_{-5}$(IU/cell/day) in batch cultivation.
