RhodopseudolllOllas palustris P4 was studied for $H_2$ production from glucose in batch culture. Important conditions studied include phosphate concentration, initial pH, temperature, glucose concentration, and gas-phase replacement. Optimal $H_2$ production was observed at 60 - 300 mM of phosphate and 7.8 - 8.6 of initial pH. The effect of culture temperature was negligible When glucose concentration increased from 0.1 to 5% (w/v), $H_2$ production increased up to 2% and remained constant thereafter. Intermittent purging of the reaction botlle with Ar gas stimulated the Hl production by alleviating the inhibition by $H_2$. The maximum productivity was 111.1 ml $H_2$/h-1.

The bursa of Fabricius (BF) is a central humoral immune organ unique to birds. Four bursal peptides (BP-I, BP-II, BP-III, and BP-IV) have been isolated and identified from the BF. In this study, the immunoadjuvant activities of BPs I to IV were examined in mice immunized with H9N2 avian influenza virus (AIV) vaccine. The results suggested that BP-I effectively enhanced cell-mediated immune responses, increased the secretion of Th1 (interferon gamma)- and Th2 (interleukin-4)-type cytokines, and induced an improved cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) response to the H9N2 virus. BP-II mainly elevated specific antibody production, especially neutralizing antibodies, and increased Th1- and Th2-type cytokine secretion. BP-III had no significant effect on antibody production or cell-mediated immune responses compared to those in the control group. A strong immune response at both the humoral and cellular levels was induced by BP-IV. Furthermore, a virus challenge experiment followed by H&E staining revealed that BP-I and BP-II promoted removal of the virus and conferred protection in mouse lungs. BP-IV significantly reduced viral titers and histopathological changes and contributed to protection against H9N2 AIV challenge in mouse lungs. This study further elucidated the immunoadjuvant activities of BPs I to IV, providing a novel insight into immunoadjuvants for use in vaccine design.

Fructooligosaccharides have been mainly produced by microbial fructosyltransferases (FTase) enzymes. The present work focuses on the optimization of medium composition and cultivation parameters affecting FTase produced by Penicillium aurantiogriseum AUMC 5605 in shake flask cultivation. FTase production was optimized in two steps using DeMeo's fractional factorial design. A 1.46-fold increase in FTase production (105.4 U/mL) was achieved using the optimized culture medium consisting of (g/L): sucrose, 600; yeast extract, 10; $K_2HPO_4$, 5; $MgSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O$, 0.5; $(NH_4)_2SO_4$, 1.0 and KCl, 0.5. The obtained results showed that the maximum FTase enzyme activity was produced at initial cultivation pH values ranging from 6.0-6.5, at agitation speed of 200 rpm and using vegetative fungal cells as inoculum. Moreover, results showed that optimization of medium composition and some cultivation parameters resulted in an increase of about 93.7% in the enzyme activity than the nonoptimized cultivation conditions after 96 h of cultivation. Additionally, maximum production and specific production rates recorded 2340 U/L/h and 102 U/L/h/g cells, respectively.

Di- and tri-methylation of lysine 4 on histone H3 (H3K4me2 and H3K4me3, respectively) are epigenetic markers of active genes. Complex associated with Set1 (COMPASS) mediates these H3K4 methylations. The involvement of COMPASS activity in secondary metabolite (SM) biosynthesis was first demonstrated with an Aspergillus nidulans cclA knockout mutant. The cclA knockout induced the transcription of two cryptic SM biosynthetic gene clusters, leading to the production of the cognate SM. Monascus spp. are filamentous fungi that have been used for food fermentation in eastern Asia, and the pigment Monascus azaphione (MAz) is their main SM. Monascus highly produces MAz, implying that the cognate biosynthetic genes are highly active in transcription. In the present study, we examined how COMPASS activity modulates MAz biosynthesis by inactivating Monascus purpureus cclA (Mp-cclA) and swd1 (Mp-swd1). For both ${\Delta}Mp-cclA$ and ${\Delta}Mp-swd1$, a reduction in MAz production, accompanied by an abated cell growth, was observed. Suppression of MAz production was more effective in an agar culture than in the submerged liquid culture. The fidelity of the ${\Delta}Mp-swd1$ phenotypes was verified by restoring the WT-like phenotypes in a reversion recombinant mutant, namely, trpCp: Mp-swd1, that was generated from the ${\Delta}Mp-swd1$ mutant. Real-time quantitative Polymerase chain reaction analysis indicated that the transcription of MAz biosynthetic genes was repressed in the ${\Delta}Mp-swd1$ mutant. This study demonstrated that MAz biosynthesis is under the control of COMPASS activity and that the extent of this regulation is dependent on growth conditions.

Kluyveromyces fragilis No.351을 이용하여 이눌라아제 생산을 최대로 할수있는 배지 조성 및 배양 조건을 조사하였다. 탄소원 및 inducer로는 돼지감자 추출액을 이용하였으며 전체 중량 3.5%가 가장 적합하였다. 일반적으로 많이 이용되는 유기 질소원인 yeast extract보다 bactocasitone이 더 좋았고 2.0%에서 효소 생성이 최대로 되었다. 초기 pH 5.5 및 $30^{\circ}C$가 알맞은 배양조건이었으며, $NH_4H_2PO_4$ 0.5% 첨가로 효소 생성이 증가되었다. 이눌라아제의 생성은 통기를 높여감에 따라 더욱 많이 생성되었고 intracellular inulase의 생성은 균체증식에 비례하여 증가되었다. Ultrafiltration과 에탄올 침전법을 이용하여 효소를 회수한 결과 72%의 수율을 얻을 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 형질전환된 N. tabacum 배양에 있어서 배양 중반 저온으로의 변환이 세포에 미치는 영향과 hGM-CSF의 생산성 변화를 관찰하였다. 배양 중반 저온으로의 변환은 DCW의 증가와 세포크기의 감소를 보였다. Ascorbic acid의 첨가는 배양초기 세포 생존율의 감소를 완화시켰으며, 배양 중반 저온으로의 변환은 약간의 세포생존율 감소를 보였다. 저온으로의 변환, 저온 배양에서의 betaine 첨가, ascorbic acid 첨가 모두 배양 후반 세포 lysis 억제에 효과가 있었다. 배양 중반 저온으로의 변환시 배지내 단백질 분해 효소의 활성을 측정한 결과, 대조구 세포에 비해 낮은 단백질 분해 효소 활성을 나타내었다. 그로인해 배양 중반 이후 단백질 분해 효소에 의한 급격한 hGM-CSF 분해를 감소시킴으로써 상대적으로 대조구 세포에 비해 높은 hGM-CSF 생산성을 유지시켰다. Ascorbic acid를 첨가한 후 배양 도중 betaine(1 mM)을 첨가하여 저온으로 온도를 변환시, hGM-CSF의 생산성 대조구 세포에 비하여 최대 2.1배 까지 높게 유지시켰다.

The human granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (hGM-CSF) gene was introduced into tobacco plants. The cell suspension culture was established from leaf-derived calli of the transgenic tobacco plants in order to express and secrete a biologically active hGM -CSF. The recombinant hGM-CSF from the transgenic plant cell culture (prhGM-CSF) was identified as a yield of about 180 ${\mu}$g/L in the culture filtrate, as determined by ELISA. The addition of 0.5 g/L polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) to the plant cell culture medium both stabilized the secreted prhGM-CSF and increased the level of production approximately 1.5-fold to 270 ${\mu}$g/L. The biological activity of the prhGM-CSF was confirmed by measuring the proliferation of the hGM-CSF-dependent cell line, TF-1. Interestingly, the specific activity of the prhGM-CSF was estimated to be approximately 2.7 times higher than that of a commercially available preparation from E. coli.

In this study, in order to develop a continuous production process of lactosucrose in a packed-bed reactor, Sterigmatomyces elviae ATCC 18894 was selected and mutated. The mutant strain of S. elviae showed 54.3% higher lactosucrose production than the wild type. Reaction conditions such as temperature, pH, substrate concentration and flow rate were also optimized. Under optimized reaction conditions ($50^{\circ}C$, pH 6.0, 25% sucrose and 25% lactose as substrate, flow rate 1.2 ml/min), the maximum concentration of lactosucrose (192 g/l) was obtained. In a packed-bed reactor, continuous production of lactosucrose was performed using S. elviae mutant immobilized in calcium alginate, and about 180 g/l of lactosucrose production was achieved for 48 days.

Lactic acid and its derivatives are widely used in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries. It is also a major raw material for the production of poly-lactic acid (PLA), a biodegradable and environmentally friendly polymer and a possible alternative to synthetic plastics derived from petroleum. For PLA production by new strains of lactic acid bacteria (LAB), we screened LAB isolates from shellfish. A total of 51 LAB were isolated from 7 types of shellfishes. Lactic acid production of individual isolates was examined using high-performance liquid chromatography using a Chiralpak MA column and an ultraviolet detector. Lactobacillus plantarum T-3 was selected as the most stress-resistant strain, with minimal inhibition concentrations of 1.2 M NaCl, 15% ethanol, and 0.0020% hydrogen peroxide. In a 1 L fermentation experiment, $\small{D}$-lactic acid production of 19.91 g/L fermentation broth was achieved after 9 h cultivation, whereas the maximum production of total lactic acid was 41.37 g/L at 24 h.

Cheese 제조시 부산물로 생성되는 whey를 배지로 사용하여 Aspergillus niger를 이용하여 citric acid를 생산하는데 영향을 미치는 여러 가지 요인 중 중요한 요인인 온도와 pH의 영향에 대하여 고찰하였다 15일간 27, 30, 33, $36^{\circ}C$와 pH 2, 3, 4, 5에서 각각 배양하면서 소비된 lactose의 양과 생산된 citric acid의 양을 측정하였다. 생산된 citric acid의 최대 농도는 33.9 g/l(구연산 생산에 쓰여진 유당을 기준으로 할 때 68.26%)이었으며, shaking speed는 citric acid 생산에 직접 영향을 주기보다는 pellet 형성시 그 형태에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 배양 온도가 $33^{\circ}C$, pH는 3일때 가장 많은 양의 citric acid가 생산되었다.
