The cultural conditions of the osmophilic yeasts for higher concentration of NaCl selected in the previous report were examined and the results obtained were as follows. 1) The strain $T_3\;and\;T_8$ were grown exceedingly well on the media containing 15 percent of NaCl and $T_5\;and\;T_9,\;T_{10}\;and\;T_{11}$ on the media containing 5 percent of NaCl. 2) The optimum temperature for growth of the strain $T_3\;and\;T_5$ was $30^{\circ}C,\;T_8\;T_{10}$ and $T_{11}\;was\;25^{\circ}C\;and\;T_9\;was\;35^{\circ}C.$ 3) Their lethal temperature was $60^{\circ}C$ (treatment for 10 minutes). 4) The optimum pH for growth of the strain $T_3\;and\;T_8$ was pH 4.0, $T_5$ was pH 6.0 and $T_9\;T_9\;and\;T_{11}$ was pH 5.0, respectively.

The experiment was carried out in a 10 $\ell$ vessel in order to evaluate the growth and nutritional quality of rotifer, Brachienus rotundiformis fed by different diets (Freshwater Chlorella, Marine Chlorella and $\omega$-yeast) for the high density cultivation. The maximum densities for the rotifer fed on the marine Chlorella, freshwater Chlorella and $\omega$-yeast were $10,900\~12,400,\;9,190\~10,600$ and 2,390$\~$2,750 inds./ml, respectively. Therefore, the maximum densities for the rotifer fed on the marine Chlorella and freshwater Chlorella were higher than that for rotifer fed on the $\omega$-yeast The essential n-3 highly unsaturated fatty acid in rotifer fed on the marine Chlorella was $8.71\%$ which was slightly lower than that in rotifer fed on the $\omega$-yeast, $9.14\%$, while it was higher than that in the rotifer fed on freshwater Chlorella, $4.45\%$. This result indicated that marine Chlorella could be appropriate diet for the high density cultivation of rotifer.

To reduce the production cost of the rotifer, different combinations of Chlorella and Baker's yeast were used to mass culture of Brachionus calyciflorus. Rotifer density tended to decrease abruptly at 100% Chlorella-feeding, when unionized ammonia level ranged from 14.1 to 29.6 ppm and DO level from 0.2 to 0.3 ppm. Hence DO level > 0.3 ppm and unionized ammonia level < 14 ppm should be maintained. Production cost of the rotifer was the highest, when a combination of 100 % Chlorella was chosen as food source, but it was about 1.8 times less, when a combination of 70 % Chlorella and 30% yeast was used as food source. However, the highest rotifer density remained almost at the same level, when either of the combination was chosen as food source. A combination of 70 % Chlorella and 30 % yeast is recommended for maximum production of the rotifer at the lowest feed cost.

Phenol utilizing yeast No. 558 isolated from soil sewage sediment was able to use substantial amount of phenol as the sole carbon source, and the biomass productivity by this organism was very excellent. This organism could grow well in 1000 ppm of phenol concentration, the maxim-um specific growth rate obtainable at pH 5.0, 3$0^{\circ}C$ was 0.27/hr., and the biomass yield coefficient Y vs. consumed phenol was 3.2. Maximum production rate of biomass was observed at 35$^{\circ}C$, pH 3.5 to pH 4.5, and the addition of the 0.005~0. 01% yeast extract was the most effective. Addition of HgCl$_2$ and phenyl hydrazine, inhibitors of oxide-reductase, in the phenol containing cultural liquid caused this organism no-growth at the concentration of 10$^{-5}$ M, 10$^{-3}$ M respectively. This organism could utilize not only phenol but catechol, resorcinol and benzidine.

Secretion efficiency is generally affected by promoter, signal sequence, characteristics of foreign protein and host. Secretion efficiencies of glucoamylase in recombinant plasmid-harboring yeast and chromosome-integrated yeast which had STA signal sequences were 74% and 65% at the 4th day of incubation, respectively. The high secretion efficiencies of the yeasts were obtained due to the fact that the expression levels were not reached at the secretory apparatus capacities of the host yeasts. In both yeasts, most of the intracellular glucoamylase were detected in cytoplasm and small portion (below 10%) of glucoamylase were located in periplasm. The characteristics of secreted heterologous glucoamylase from recombinant Saccharomyces cerevisiaes were investigated by using Western blot analysis. The secreted mature glucoamylase was heterogeneous and its molecular weight was about 200 to 300 kilodalton. The carbohydrate content of mature glucoamylase was higher than 80%, and several bands of about 55 to 65 kilodalton indicate the endoplasmic reticulum forms of intracellular glucoamylase.

The present study was to investigate the continuous production of alcohol using immobilized carrier manufactured by polymeric materials. Fermentation runs with a crushed rice, with constituents recovered from batch culture and with ones from continuous culture were thus compared. The performances of immobilized carrier were governed by sandwitched synthetic polymers, the evolution of the continuous culture was steadily governed by the production of alcohol in the lag time of batch culture. The main focus was set on the enhancement of the alcohol production by an newly-developed polymeric forms. This polymeric form led to a drastic increase of the microorganism and the production cost in the continuous reactor was thereby reduced. The sandwitched polymeric-formed carrier, which was resistant to external environments, serves as an interesting alternative to maintain the stability of biological process. These whole results were discussed with the aim to better understand the continuous process implied in the microorganism's build-up during cultivation of fermentation broth.

Physiological functionalities of culture concentrates from various fungi were investigated. The culture concentrates from Saccharomyces cerevisiae Y277-3 showed the highest tyrosinase inhibitory activity of 42.7%. Among mold physiological functionalities, the culture concentrates from Aspergillus orygae CN20-3-1-4 showed the highest antioxidant activity of 15.8%. The other functionalities of fungi were very low or not detected. The intracellular tyrosinase inhibitor from Saccharomyces cerevisiae Y277-3, which showed the highest physiological functionalities was maximally produced when the strain was cultured in PD broth at $30^{\circ}C$ for 24 h.

We isolated seventy two lactic acid bacteria and two hundred yeast from traditional Andong sikhe. Microorganisms were isolate from 4 kinds of traditional Andong sikhe. The optimum temperature and pH for growth of sikhe yeast, No. SCS 5, was $30^{\circ}C$ and 4.5, respectively. SCS 5 produced $CO_2$ gas and 1.5% of alcohol in malt extract broth. SCS 5 was identified as S. cersvisiae from the observation of shape of vegetative reproduction, morphological and cultural chararteristics, fermentation and assimilation of carbon sources, and physiological characteristics.

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.

Selenized yeast (Se yeast) containing $0.1{\%}$(w/w) of selenium was obtained when the yeast was incubated at a selenium concentration of 1$1.14{\times}10_-3 M$ in rich medium. After washing several times, the inorganic selenium on the cell wall was confirmed with MBRT. There was no indication of inorganic selenium on the cell wall when the blue color in MBRT was stayed for 15 minutes. The selenized yeast was sonicated, then the selenium contained protein was obtained after salting out by ammonium sulfate at the concentration $80{\%}$ saturation. The seven protein bands were seperated by SDS-PAGE and the selenium concentration in protein was measured by ICP-AES. Analytical data showed that the large expressed protein band contained a relatively large amount of selenium. The proteins of the 47kDa was contained the concentrations of 69.5 ${\mu}$ Se/g of most many content. The protein (47 kDa) was seperated from PVDF membrane by tank-electroblotting. The isolated protein was hydrolyzed under acid condition and reacted with PITC. The derivatives of amino acids were analyzed by HPLC and compared with the data obtained from regular yeast. The resulting selenium-yeast was analyzed with the selenomethionine concentration of $2{\%}$ comparaed with general amino acids. The goal of this study is to analyze the selenium concentration in protein bands and measure the degree of biotransformation of selenomethionine in a specific protein.
