In order to investigate the effect of dissolved oxygen (DO) level on AVM $B_{1a}$ production by a high yielding mutant of Streptomyces avermitilis, five sets of bioreactor cultures were performed under variously controlled DO levels. Using an online computer control system, the agitation speed and aeration rate were automatically controlled in an adaptive manner, responding timely to the oxygen requirement of the producer microorganism. In the two cultures of DO limitation, the onset of AVM $B_{1a}$ biosynthesis was observed to casually coincide with the fermentation time when oxygen-limited conditions were overcome by the producing microorganism. In contrast, this phenomenon did not occur in the parallel fermentations with DO levels controlled at around 30% and 40% throughout the entire fermentation period, showing an almost growth-associated mode of AVM $B_{1a}$ production: AVM $B_{1a}$ biosynthesis under the environments of high DO levels started much earlier than the corresponding oxygen-limited cultures, leading to a significant enhancement of AVM $B_{1a}$ production during the exponential stage. Consequently, approximately 6-fold and 9-fold increases in the final AVM $B_{1a}$ production were obtained in 30% and 40% DO-controlled fermentations, respectively, especially when compared with the culture of severe DO limitation (the culture with 0% DO level during the exponential phase). The production yield ($Y_{p/x}$), volumetric production rate (Qp), and specific production rate (${\bar{q}}_p$) of the 40% DO-controlled culture were observed to be 14%, 15%, and 15% higher, respectively, than those of the parallel cultures that were performed under an excessive agitation speed (350 rpm) and aeration rate (1 vvm) to maintain sufficiently high DO levels throughout the entire fermentation period. These results suggest that high shear damage of the high-yielding strain due to an excessive agitation speed is the primary reason for the reduction of the AVM $B_{1a}$ biosynthetic capability of the producer. As for the cell growth, exponential growth patterns during the initial 3 days were observed in the fermentations of sufficient DO levels, whereas almost linear patterns of cell growth were observed in the other two cultures of DO limitation during the identical period, resulting in apparently lower amounts of DCW. These results led us to conclude that maintenance of optimum DO levels, but not too high to cause potential shear damage on the producer, was crucial not only for the cell growth, but also for the enhanced production of AVM $B_{1a}$ by the filamentous mycelial cells of Streptomyces avermitilis.

Bi-staged pH process 하의 jar fermenter system에서 영지의 액체배양 시 효율적인 균사체 및 세포의 다당 생산을 위한 용존산소의 영향을 조사하고, 산소이동용량계수와 발효조 조작변수와의 상관관계를 해석하여 scale up의 조건을 검토, 확립하였다. 교반속도에 따른 용존산소의 농도변화를 살펴본 결과, hi-staged pH process에서 배양 $2{\sim}4$일에 용존 산소의 급격한 감소를 보였으나 용존 산소의 제한은 일어나지 않고, 다시 증가하는 경향을 보였으며, 교반속도가 증가할수록 감소 폭과 깊이는 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 다당 생성은 대수 증식기 이후의 용존 산소농도가 $40{\sim}80%$ 범위일 때 가장 높았으며, 이 보다 낮거나 높은 경우 다당의 생성은 저해되었다. 교반 및 통기에 따른 산소이동용량계수 ($k_La$)와 통기속도 (Vs), 교반속도 (N) 및 impeller 지름 (Di)의 자료로부터 중회귀분석한 결과, 이들 사이의 관계는 다음 식으로 표현할 수 있었다. $$k_La=0.555{\times}Vs^{0.42}{\times}(N^3{\times}Di^2)^{0.33}\;(R^2=0.925,\;p<0.05)$$ 2.6 L 발효조의 경우, 15.43 g/L의 최대 다당 생산량은 400 rpm 및 1 vvm에서 얻어졌으며, 2.6 L 발효조의 최적 산소이동용량계수 값을 적용한 20 및 75 L 발효조에서의 scale up 시험 결과는 서로 잘 일치하였다. 최대의 다당생성을 위한 산소전달계수의 감은 $85.4{\pm}26.70\;h^{-1}$이었다.

현재까지 연구로는 흰목이 균사체에서 EPS 생산과 균사생장에 대한 적정 정치배양 조건이 연구되었다. 본 연구로부터 탄소원과 질소원의 처음 농도, 균사 형태와 발효조의 타입의 선택은 흰목이 균사체 EPS 생산에 가장 영향을 미친다는 것을 알게 되었다. 이들 결과는 공기주입식 반응기에서 EPS 생산성은 진탕탱크 반응기 보다 더 높았다는 점을 증명하였다. 또한 흰목이 균사의 정치배양의 생리적 생장에 대한 지식은 아직도 제한적이다.

The scale-up criterion of constant oxygen mass transfer coefficient ($k_La$) was applied for the production of itaconic acid (IA) in a 50 L pilot-scale fermentor by the fungal cells of Aspergillus terreus. Various operating conditions were examined to collect as many $k_La$ data as possible by adjusting the stirring speed and aeration rate in both 5 L and 50 L fermentor systems. In the fermentations performed with the 5 L fermentor, the highest IA production was obtained under the operating conditions of 200 rpm and 1.5 vvm. Accordingly, we intended to find out parallel agitation and aeration rates in the 50 L fermentor system, under which the $k_La$ value measured was almost identical to that ($0.02sec^{-1}$) of the 5 L system. The conditions of 180 rpm and 0.5 vvm in the 50 L system turned out to be optimal for providing almost the same volumetric amount of dissolved oxygen (DO) into the fermentor, without causing shear damage to the producing cells due to excessive agitation. Practically identical fermentation physiologies were observed in both fermentations performed under those respective operating conditions, as demonstrated by nearly the same values of volumetric ($Q_p$) and specific ($q_p$) IA production rates, IA production yield ($Y_{p/s}$), and specific growth rate (${\mu}$). Specifically, the negligible difference of the specific growth rate (${\mu}$) between the two cultures (i.e., $0.029h^{-1}$ vs. $0.031h^{-1}$) was notable, considering the fact that ${\mu}$ normally has a significant influence on $q_p$ in the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites such as itaconic acid.

In order to maximize the cell growth and the biosurfactant production by the Pseudomonas aeruginosa BYK-2(KCTC 18012P), in the fed-batch fermentation processes were performed varying the feeding medium concentrations and the feeding rate. Feel-batch culture was performed with the optimal agitation speed of 200rpm and the aeration rate of 0.67vvm in a 7L Jar fermentor containing 3L of modified medium and 2.0-2.5%(v/v) fish oil as a carbon source. Addition of fish oil(2.5mL/l00mL modified medium), when fish oil was depleted, the cell and biosurfactant concentration were 6.1g/L and 22.7g/L, respectively.

The fermentation conditions for the maximal production of the useful polysaccharides(water soluble polysaccharide and cell bound polysaccharide) from marine bacterium Zoogloea sp.(KCCM 10036) were investigated with a 5 L jar fermentor. The maximal production of these polysaccharides was obtained under the conditions of initial pH 7.8, 30$^{\circ}C$, 400 rpm of agitation speed, 2 Wm of aeration rate, 10%(w/v) of inoculum size and 2.5%(w/v) of glucose substrate and 10.38 g/L of total polysaccharide was produced. Apparent viscosity of the culture broth was increased with the production of these polysaccharides and the maximum value was reached to 22,500 cp.

The production of red pigment from glucose by fed-batch culture of Monascus anka was investigated. In batch culture using fermentor, 200 rpm of agitation speed, 1vvm of aeration volume, and 10% (v/v) of inoculum size were optimal, respectively. The red pigment production was increased by removal of wall-attached mycelium. In an intermittent feeding fed-batch culture, dry cell weight increased to 30 g/l, adn the red pigment content reached 350 of absorbance at 495nm. In a continuous feeding fed-batch culture, dry cell weight increased to 22g/l, and the red pigment content reached 190 of absorbance at 495nm.

분산된 공기 기포에 의해 고형물을 제거하는 포말분리법은 30 $\mu\textrm{m}$이하의 미세 입자와 용존 고형물을 매우 효율적이면서도 경제적으로 운전을 할 수 있고 연속 운전이 가능하며 역세척이 필요 없다는 장점을 지니고 있다((Clarke and Wilson. 1983). 현재 사용되고 있는 포말분리장치는 공기의 공급방식과 유체과 공기의 접촉방향에 따라 항류 공기구동식(counter current air driven type, CCAD), 고속 폭기식(high speed aeration type, HSA), 벤튜리식(venturi type) 등이 있으나 현재까지 우리나라에서 연구되어 오고있는 포말분리 장치는 공기구동 방식이 전부이다.
