본 연구는 효모를 동정하는 방법으로서 각 효모의 단백질 조성 차이와 이들 단백질의 면역학적 특성에 의한 새로운 동정법을 개발하고자 하였다. S. cerevisiae, C. utilis, C. tropicalis, K. fragilis 의 4가지 효모를 배양하여 세포를 파괴시킨 다음 가용성 단백질과 막 단백질을 분리 추출하였다. 4종 효모의 가용성 단백질과 막 단백질의 조성은 SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis를 실시 비교하였다. S. cerevisiae와 C. utilis 는 전기영동 pattern상 유사하였고 이들은 쉽게 C. tropicalis, K. fragilis 로부터 구별이 가능하였다. 또한 4종 효모의 가용성 단백질과 막 단백질을 토끼에게 주사하여 각각에 대응하는 항체를 만든 후 Ouchterlony double immunodiffusion을 실시하여 형성된 precipitin line에 의한 효모의 동정을 수행하였다. 면역학적으로도 S. cerevisiae와 C. utillis의 유사성이 증명되었고 이들은 C. tropicalis, K. fragilis 와 상이함이 관찰되었다.

The effects of initial concentration, flow rate, and recycle ratio on the removal efficiency of phenol were studied in a tapered fluidized bed reactor packed with activated carbon which was attached with Candida tropicalis. The optimum conditions of Candida tropicalis were showed that pH was 7.0 and temperature was $30^{\circ}C$, and the specific growth rate of Candida tropicalis was satisfied with the Monod equation up to 500 mg/L of phenol, and beyond it the inhibition of substrate was found. According to the increases of initial concentration and flow rate, the removal efficiency was decreased, as the recycle ratio was increased, the removal efficiency was increased. In the case of flow rate of 10mL/sec and the recycle ratio of 2, the removal efficiency was 90% above for the all of initial concentration. The removal rate of phenol was the first order reaction in this system, and the rate equation of reaction was as follows.

과일쥬스의 변패에 관여하는 Candida tropicalis에 대하여 고압처리에 의한 사멸과 미생물의 미세구조에 미치는 압력의 영향을 조사하였다. C. tropicalis의 가압사멸은 1차 반응을 따르며, $25^{\circ}C-400\;MPa$에서 D값은 1.4분이었고, z값은 100 MPa이었다. 고압처리에 의한 살균효과는 $25^{\circ}C$에서보다 $45^{\circ}C$에서 높게 나타났다. $25^{\circ}C$에서 400MPa, 10분 고압처리로 C. tropicalis는 미토콘드리아막과 세포벽이 변형되었다. 다라서 고압처리에 의한 세포막, 원형질막 등의 변형이 미생물 가압사멸의 원인이 되는 것으로 판단된다.

페놀수지 폐수는 41,000 mg/l 의 페놀과 2,800 mg/l 의 포름알데히드를 포함하고 있어 직접적인 생물학적 처리가 어렵다. 자연계에서 분리된 Candida tropicalis PW-51 은 100 mg/l 이하의 포름알데히드 존재하에서 1,000 mg/l 의 페놀을 분해하였으나 포름알데히드의 농도가 증가함에 따라 페놀분해는 저해되었다. 페놀수지 폐수를 1/40 희석하였을 때 페놀류 화합물 농도가 882 mg/l 이었는데, 회분배양 후 페놀농도는 81 mg/l로 약 91% 분해되었다. 폐수를 1/40, 1/20 희석한 후 C.tropicalis PW-51에 의해 생물학적으로 연속처리한 결과 페놀류 화합물은 92% 까지 분해되었다. 그러나 1/10 희석된 폐수에서는 초기 페놀류 화합물 농도가 2,875 mg/l로 높아 생물학적 처리가 이루어지지 않고 균체가 사멸하였다. 1/40, 1/20 희석된 페수의 생물학적 처리후 잔류 페놀류 화합물을 흡착처리한 결과 최종 처리수에서 페놀류 화합물의 농도는 1 mg/l 이하로 총 페놀제거효율은 99.9%에 달하였다.

Fungal infections are rarely responsible for arthritis. Few cases of fungal arthritis have been reported, even in immunocompromised hosts susceptible to low-virulence organisms. Herein, the authors report the first case of Candida tropicalis arthritis in a child with a solid tumor. A 13-year-old boy with Ewing's sarcoma developed arthritis in his elbow during the neutropenic period after chemotherapy. Despite treatment with broad-spectrum antibiotics, his condition did not improve and serial blood cultures failed to reveal any causative organisms. After surgical drainage, culture of the joint fluid revealed the presence of C. tropicalis. Itraconazole treatment was started and after 3 months of therapy, the patient completely recovered full elbow function.

This study was conducted to improve biological degradation efficiency of toluene as a model volatile organic compound (VOC) using yeast Candida tropicalis and to suggest an effective method for bioreactor operation. The yeast strain was immobilized with polyethylene glycol (PEG), alginate, and powdered activated carbon (PAC). The yeast-immobilized polymer media were used as fluidized materials in an airlift bioreactor. Polymer media without PAC were also made and operated in another airlift bioreactor. The two bioreactors showed toluene removal efficiencies ranging 80-96% at loading rates of $10-35 g/m^3-hr$, and the bioreactor containing the polymer media with PAC achieved higher removal efficiency. Protein contents in the liquid phase showed that the bioreactor using the yeast-immobilized polymer media with PAC had a higher rate of microbial growth initially than that without PAC. In addition, the microbial growth rate inside of the polymer media with PAC was five times higher than that without PAC. Consequently, the polymer media containing the yeast strain and PAC could enhance removal efficiencies for VOCs, and the immobilization method improve microbial activity and stability for a long-term operation of biological systems.

Tuak is a traditional alcoholic beverage, one of the most widely known in the North Sumateran region of Indonesia. It is produced by a spontaneous fermentation process through the application of one or more several kinds of wood bark or root, called raru (Xylocorpus wood bark or a variety of forest mangosteen), into the sap water of sugar palm (Arenga pinnata) for 2−3 days. In this research, yeast that are potentially useful for ethanol production was isolated from Tuak and identified. Based on analysis of D1/D2 domain sequence of LSU (large subunit) rRNA genes, those isolated yeast strains, HT4, HT5, and HT10 were identified as Candida tropicalis. Fermentation test of these C. tropicalis isolates displayed an ability to produce 6.55% (v/v) and 4.58% ethanol at 30℃ and 42℃, respectively. These results indicated C. tropicalis isolates more rapidly utilize glucose and obtain higher levels of the production of ethanol at the higher temperature of 42℃ than S. cerevisiae, a common yeast used for bioethanol fermentation.

국내외에서 수집한 유침 및 유전지대의 토양시료에서 n-paraffin자화성균주와 ethanol자화성균주를 분리하여 혼합배양을 시도하였고 선정된 균주에 대해서는 등정과 아울러 최적배지조성을 검토하였다. 최종적으로 선정된 균주중 n-paraffin자화성균주(strain No. 76)는 Candida tropicalis var. KIST 76으로, ethanol 자화성균주 (Strain No. 76H)는 Trichosporn cutaneum KIST 76H로 동정되었다. 최적배지조성에서 Candida tropicalis var. KIST 76을 단독배양하였을때 건조균체량은 배양 16시간 후에 16 g/l(대기질당 수율 71.1%), 이때의 단백질함량은 53.4%였으나 Candida tropicalis var. KIST 76과 Trichosporn cutaneum KIST 76H와 혼합배양하면 배양 12시간 후에 건조균체량은 20g/l(대기질당 수율 88.8%), 단백질 함량은 58.0%로 증가하였다.

A high xylitol producing yeast was isolated from the sludge of xylose manufacturing factory and then identified as Candida tropicalis DS-72 according to physiological properties. The strain was able to produce xylitol in a high concentration up to 72g/l from 100g/l xylose in 32 hours. Medium optimization for xylitol production by C. tropicalis DS-72 was performed. Effect of various nitrogen sources on xylitol production was investigated. Of nitrogenous compounds, yeast extract was the most suitable organic nitrogen nutrient for the enhancement of xylitol production. However, inorganic nitrogen resulted in a low cell concentration and did not produce xylitol. Effect of inorganic salts such as KH$_{2}$PO$_{4}$, and MgSO$_{4}$, 7H$_{2}$O on xylitol production was also studied. Optimal medium was selected as xylose 100g/l, yeast extract 10g/l, KH$_{2}$PO$_{4}$, 5 g/l and MgSO$_{4}$, 7H$_{2}$O 0.2 g/l. Xylitol of 88 g/l was produced from 100 g/l xylose in 30 hours using the optimal medium in a flask. In a fermentor, a fed-batch culture with 300g/l xylose was carried out. A final xylitol concentration of 240 g/l in the culture could be obtained in 43 hours of culture time by maintaining the high level of dissolved oxygen during growth phase and limiting the dissolved oxygen in the same culture during production phase. This result corresponded to a xylitol yield of 80% and a xylitol productivity of 5.58 g/1-h.
