Hyperthermal acid hydrolysis pretreatment of Eucheuma denticulatum was carried out using 12% (w/v) seaweed slurry and 90 mM $H_3PO_4$ at $150^{\circ}C$ for 10 min. The use of Candida lusitaniae with adaptive evolution was evaluated for ethanol fermentation. The levels of ethanol production by separate hydrolysis and fermentation (SHF) at 72 h with non-adapted and adapted C. lusitaniae were 10.1 g/l with ethanol yield ($Y_{EtOH}$) of 0.23, and 18.1 g/l with $Y_{EtOH}$ of 0.45, respectively. Adaptive evolution was employed in this study to improve the efficiency of ethanol fermentation. Development of the SHF process could enhance the overall ethanol fermentation yields of the red seaweed E. denticulatum.

In the course of screening for selective growth inhibitors against the mycelial form of Candida albicans, we isolated a Streptomyces sp. A6792 from soils. The inhibitor was isolated from the above bacterium and identified through several spectral analyses with UV and mass spectrophotometries, and various NMR. The compound was determined to be a macrocyclic dilactone antibiotic, IKD-8344 (molecular weight: 844, molecular formula: $C_{48}H_{76}O_{12}$). The compound selectively inhibited the growth of mycelial form of C. albicans with an MIC of 6.25 ${\mu}g/ml$. It also exhibited strong inhibitory effect preferentially on the mycelial form of various Candida spp. including C. krusei, C. tropicalis, and C. lusitaniae, with MICs ranging from 1.56 to 25 ${\mu}g$/ml. Furthermore, the compound showed no significant toxicity against SPF ICR mice up to 60 mg/kg. These results suggest that IKD-8344 is a useful lead compound for the development of novel antifungal agents, based on the preferential growth inhibition against Candida spp.

수용성 치자(水溶性 梔子)(Ga. jasminoides의 열매)색소(色素)(등황색)(橙黃色)를 냉수(冷水)로 추출하여 함유시킨 yeast morphology agar(Difco)에 각종 효모균류(酵母菌類)를 배양하여 그들의 균집락(菌集落) 색깔변화를 관찰하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 치자배지(梔子培地)에서 증식(增殖)한 Ca. guilliermondii 와 Ca. lusitaniae 의 균집락(菌集落)은 $28^{\circ}C$에서 3일이내에 군청색(群靑色)을 띠었고, Ca. tropicalis와 Ca. viswanathii 등은 옅은 회색(灰色)을 띠었는데 Ca. viswanathii는 7일후에 군청색(群靑色)으로 변했다. Ca. krusei와 To. glabrata 등은 $1{\sim}2$주후 회색(灰色)내지 옅은 회청색(灰靑色)을 띠었고 Sa. cerevi-siae는 연두색을 띠었다. 그러나 Ca. albicans와 Ca. parapsilosis 등은 색깔변화가 없었고, 적색(赤色) 균집락(菌集落)의 Rhodotorula sp.도 변화가 없었다. 그러나 Cr. neofor-mans는 갈색(褐色) 내지 자갈색(紫褐色) 균집락(菌集落)을 형성해 다른 모든 균종(菌種)과 뚜렷하게 구별되어 기존(旣存) 선별동정배지(選別同定培地)인 caffeic acid 또는 dopamine배지(培地)를 대체할 수 있을 뿐 아니라 몇몇 Candida spp.의 특정적 색깔을 관찰할 수 있어서 치자배지(梔子培地)가 임상검체(臨床檢體)로부터 효모균종(酵母菌種)의 분리배양(分離培養)에 매우 유용하다고 생각한다.

Colonial morphology of the various yeasts often encountered in sputum or other clinical specimens was investigated on the corn meal-potato-yeast extract agar medium (GJCPY) containing orange-yellow pigments extracted from Gardenia jasminoides fruits in hopes of differential identification on primary cultures. The results obtained are as follows. 1) Cryptococcus neoformans which is a medically important yeast and whose colony showed brown to purple brown on GJCPY medium was distinguishable not only from buff colored Cr. laurentii after one week incubation but also from Candida spp. 2) Colony color of Candida albicans, a most common species in sputum specimens and of Ca. parapsilosis, a rare isolate, remained unchanged even after 15 days incubation. 3) Ca. tropicalis, second common isolate from sputums and Ca. krusei, a rare isolate, formed a characteristic rough and wrinkled colonies that permit to differentiate them from others. 4) Rare isolates, Ca. guilliermondii and Ca. lusitaniae, turned to prussian blue within three days of incubation. 5) Torulopsis sp. and Saccharomyces cerevisiae showed glossy grayish blue or light blue after one week incubation. The findings clearly showed that Ga. jasminoides pigments medium was useful to the morphological differentiation of medically important yeasts that were often encountered in sputum or other clinical specimens.

Hydrolyzates from lignocellulosic biomass contain a mixture of simple sugars; the predominant ones being glucose, cellobiose and xylose. The fermentation of such mixtures to ethanol or other chemicals requires an understanding of how each of these substrates is utilized. Candida lusitaniae can efficiently produce ethanol from both glucose and cellobiose and is an attractive organism for ethanol production. Experiments were performed to obtain kinetic data for ethanol production from glucose, cellobiose and xylose. Various combinations were tested in order to determine kinetic behavior with multiple carbon sources. Glucose was shown to repress the utilization of cellobiose and xylose. However, cellobiose and xylose were simultaneously utilized after glucose depletion. Maximum volumetric ethanol production rates were 0.56, 0.33, and 0.003 g/L h from glucose, cellobiose and xylose, respectively. A kinetic model based on cAMP mediated catabolite repression was developed. This model adequately described the growth and ethanol production from a mixture of sugars in a batch culture.

순천대학교 지의류 은행(Lichen Bioresources Center)에서 571종의 지의류 내생 곰팡이를 분양받아 Candida albicans에 대한 항진균 활성을 조사하여 4종을 선정하였다. 선정된 4종의 지의류 내생 곰팡이의 배양액 내에 존재하는 항진균 활성을 알아보기 위해 disc diffusion method 방법을 이용한 결과 Stereocaulon sp. (1429,1430)가 C. albicans에 대한 항진균 활성이 가장 좋았으며, 다음으로는 Graphis sp. (1245), Cryptosporiopsis diversispora (0156) 순으로 활성이 좋게 나타났으며, 이들 지의류 내생곰팡이가 고체배지와 액체배지에서도 항진균 활성 물질을 생성하였다. 고체배지에서와 액체배지에서 공통적으로 활성이 있는 지의류 내생 곰팡이 배양액의 chloroform, ethyl acetate 용매 추출물의 C. albicans의 항진균 활성도를 측정한 결과 4종 모두 chloroform 추출물에서 높은 활성도를 나타냈다. Candida albicans, Candida glabrata, Candida tropicalis, Candida lusitaniae에 대한 항진균 활성은 Stereocaulon sp. (1429, 1430)의 chloroform 추출물에서 모두 98% 이상의 높은 저해율을 보였고 Stereocaulon sp. (1429) 배양액의 chloroform 추출액과 ethyl acetate 추출액을 GC/MS를 이용해 성분을 분석한 결과 hexadecanonic acid-methyl ester, 14-octadecenoic acid-methyl ester, octadecenoic acid-methyl ester가 새로운 항진균 물질일 가능성을 보여주었다.

In this study we attempted to screen bacteria and fungi that generate electricity while treating wastewater using optimized double-chamber microbial fuel cell (MFC) system parameters. Optimization was carried out for five best exoelectrogenic isolates (two bacteria and three fungi) at pH values of 6.0, 7.5, 8.5, and 9.5, and temperatures of 30, 35, 40, and 45℃; the generated power densities were measured using a digital multimeter (DT9205A). The isolates were identified using molecular characterization, followed by the phylogenetic analysis of isolates with known exoelectrogenic microorganisms. The bacterium, Proteus species, N6 (KX548358.1) and fungus, Candida parapsilosis, S10 (KX548360) produced the highest power densities of 1.59 and 1.55 W/m² (at a pH of 8.5 and temperatures of 35 and 40℃) within 24 h, respectively. Other fungi-Clavispora lusitaniae, S9 (KX548359.1) at 40℃, Clavispora lusitaniae, S14 (KX548361.1) at 35℃-and bacterium-Providencia species, N4 (KX548357.1) at 40℃-produced power densities of 1.51, 1.46, and 1.44 W/m², respectively within 24 h. The MFCs achieved higher power densities at a pH of 8.5, temperature of 40℃ within 24 h. The bacterial isolates have a close evolutionary relationship with other known exoelectrogenic microorganisms. These findings helped us determine the optimal pH, temperature, evolutionary relationship, and exoelectrogenic fungal species other than bacteria that enhance MFC performance.
