We investigated the fermentative production of lactic acid from cheese whey and corn steep liquor as cheap raw materials using Lactobacillus sp. RKY2 to reduce the manufacturing cost of lactic acid. Lactic acid yields were obtained at more than 0.98 g/g from medium containing whey lactose. Lactic aid productivities and yields obtained from whey lactose were slightly higher than those obtained from pure lactose. The final concentration of lactic acid increased with increase, in whey lactose concentration, whereas the lactic acid productivity decreased probably due to substrate inhibition. The fermentation efficiencies were improved by addition of more corn steep liquor to the medium.

Succinic acid was produced by Enterococcus faecalis RKY1 cells immobilized in hollow fiber bioreactor as an alternatively immobilized culture in bioconversion of fumaric acid to succinic acid. The feed was pumped through the shell side. As the flow rate of the feed was increased, the steady state was obtained more quickly. The steady state was reached after 24 hr cultivation in 0.25 ml/min, 12 hr in 0.5 ml/min, and 9 hr in 1.0 ml/min, respectively. The effect of medium pH on succinate production was also investigated. By changing the medium pH of 8.0, the succinic acid produced was increased about 16% than that of pH 7.0.

This study was carried out to screen the effective polymeric additives preventing wall growth during mycelial submerged cultivation of Ganoderma. lucidum. Effects of additives on mycelial growth and exo-polysaccharide (EPS) production in flask culture and jar fermenter system under 3 different pH processes were investigated, and changes of mycelial morphology were also examined. From flask culture of G. lucidum with additives of different concentrations, 0.1%(w/v) polyacrylic acid was effective for EPS production. As the polyacrylic acid of 0.1%(w/v) was added in medium, wall growth of G. lucidum mycelium grown in jar fermenter system could be protected. The addition of 0.1%(w/v) polyacrylic acid to medium was also improved the mycelial growth and EPS production in the later of submerged culture G. lucidum and no changes of mycelial morphology were observed.

In this study, authors investigated the cadmium tolerance, the accumulation of cadmium, and the cellular distribution of accumlated cadmium in lactic acid bacteria under the anaerobic condition. Lactic acid bacteria grew fairly well in modified EG medium containing 10 ppm of cadmium but could hardly grow at 50 ppm of cadmium. Tolerance to cadmium of genus Lactobacillus was greater than that of genus Streptococcus, and Lactobacillus acidophilus showed the higest cadmium tolerance amomg the bacteria tested. The capacity of cadmium accumlation (9.304-12.428 mg/g wet cell) of lactic acid bacteria was higher than that (6.775 mg/g wet cell) of Escherichia coli. Lactobacillus casei of them took up the largest amount of cadmium. The cadmium elimination amount (28.46-29.25%) of lactic acid bacteria from modified EG medium containing cadmium were also higher than that (14.43%) of Escherichia coli. Accumulated cadmium in Lactobacillus acidophilus was distributed by 42.41% at cell wall, 28.97% at cytoplasm, and 28.62% at plasma membrane, respectively.

In order to produce lactic acid and calcium lactate very useful for foods and medical supplies, lactic acid fermentation was studied by Lactobacillus sporogenes, a spore forming lactic acid bacterium. When this bacterium was cultured aerobically in the spore forming medium, the spore forming rate was 96.0% as total cell number 20$\times$108/ml, spore number 19.2$\times$108/ml. One minute agitating every 1 hour in the flask culture, or agitation of 100rpm in the fermenter was most efficient to continue to ferment at 45$^{\circ}C$ for 4days in the fermentation medium containing 10% glucose as carbohydrate and CaCO3 as a neutralizing agent. This homofermentative lactic acid bacterium showed fermentation yield of 99.3% and more than 98.2% of the yield was L(+)-lactic acid.

When ingredients of Kimchi were mixed and stored in $18^{\circ}C$, lactic acid bacteria, such as Leuconostoc mesenteroides and Lactobacillus plantarum, were selectively grown up. Herefore, to understand why lactic acid bacteria were selectively cultured in Kimchi, antibacterial activities of Kimchi ingredients against some pathogens and Kinlchi lactic acid bacteria were investigated. Kimchi mixed with all ingredients significantly inhibited the growth of all tested pathogens: S. typhimurium, S. sonnei, and E. coli. Kimchi without green onion, garlic or ginger inhibited the growth of S. typhimurium, but did not E. coli and S. sonnei. However, Kimchi without red pepper powder did not inhibit the growth of all tested pathogens. All ingredients of Kimchi did not inhibit the growth of L. plantarum and L. mesenteroides. These results suggest that Kimchi ingredients can synergistically inhibit the growth of pathogens and Kimchi may be a selective medium for lactic acid bacteria.

Streptomyces toxytricini로부터 lipstatin생산을 최적화하기 위해, 배지 성분이 lipstatin생산에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 이를 위해 tryptic soy broth (TSB) 배지를 기본 배지로 하여 $28^{\circ}C$, 200 rpm 으로 3일간 배양하여 총 배양액(seed culture) 을 만들고, 여기에 다양한 탄소원, 질소원, 지질 및 지방산등을 함유한 TSB 배지에 2% 접종한 후 60시간 동안 주 발효를 실시한 후, 배지 중의 lipstatin양을 측정하였다. 탄소원 중에서 glucose와 glycerol을 첨가한 배지에서 균체가 가장 잘 성장하였지만, lipstatin생산에는 lactose나 sucrose가 가장 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 한편, 질소원으로는 yeast extract가 균체 성장에 가장 좋았지만, 1.7% casitone과 0.3% soytone으로 구성된 TSB 배지에서 lipstatin생산량이 가장 높게 나타났다. 또한 lipstatin생산을 증가시키기 위해 triolein을 발효 배지에 첨가한 결과, 균체 성장은 증가하였지만, lipstatin의 생산은 현저히 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 한편, lipstatin의 생합성 원료로 추정되는 지방산들을 발효 배지에 0.5% 첨가하여 발효를 실시한 결과, 불포화 지방산인 linoleic acid나 oleic acid를 첨가한 경우 S. toxytricini의 성장이 억제되었으나, 포화 지방산인 stearic acid를 첨가한 경우에는 균체성장 뿐만 아니라 lipstatin 생산량도 증가하였다.

The hemA gene encoding 5-aminolevulinic acid synthase (ALAS) was cloned from Rhodobacter capsulatus, and its nucleotide sequence was determined. DNA sequencing data revealed one open reading frame coding for a protein with 401 amino acids that displayed high similarity to the amino acid sequences of other known ALASs. The hemA gene was then cloned and expressed under the control of constitutive promotor in E. coli. The recombinant E. coli strain was able to accumulate 5-aminolevulinic acid to 21 mM in the liquid medium supplemented with 45 mM glycine and 120 mM succinate. In addition, a marked effect of the pH of the culture medium on ALA production was observed, and the optimum pH for culture medium was determined to be 5.8-6.3.

Holostemma annulare (Family Asclepiadaceae) is an invaluable vulnerable medicinal plant; the root tubers are used in Ayurveda medicine and by folk healers to treat various ailments. In this study, Schenk and Hildebrandt medium fortified with the cytokinins 6-benzyl adenine, kinetin, and auxins, including indole 3-butyric acid, indole 3-acetic acid, α-naphthaleneacetic acid, and 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, were checked for their efficiency on root tuber induction from different explants. Adventitious root tubers were more successfully induced from in vitro leaf segments and shoots when cultured in Schenk and Hildebrandt medium supplemented with 0.5 mg/l of α-naphthaleneacetic acid. In addition, preliminary phytochemical analysis of in vitro root tubers and identification of different secondary metabolites were conducted. Thin layer chromatography and high performance thin layer chromatography analysis of the crude methanolic extracts of the in vitro root tuber identified the presence of lupeol, a bioactive triterpene. Adventitious root tuber induction offers a novel method for the in vitro production of bioactive metabolites that can be scaled up by bioreactors, thus ensuring the conservation and sustainable utilization of H. annulare. The study warrants further scale-up production and pharmacological investigation that can be extended for pharmaceutical needs.
