For the biological treatment of phenolic resin wastewater containing phenol and formaldehyde, a phenol-degrading yeast was isolated from the papermill sludge, and then identified as Candida tropicalis PW-51 according to morphological, physiological and biochemical properties. The strain was able to degrade high phenol concentrations up to 2,000mg/l within 58 hours in batch cultures. Phenol-degrading efficiency by the strain was maximum at the culture conditions of a final concentration of 9 $\times$ 10$^{6}$ cells/ml, 30$\circ$C and pH 7.0. The mean degradation rate of phenol was highest at 45.5mg/l/h in 1,000mg/l phenol from 500mg/l to 2,000mg/l phenol. Because the enzyme activity of catechol 1,2-dioxygenase increased in the course of degradation of phenol, it seems that this strain degrades phenol via the ortho-cleavage of benzene ring. The isolate C. tropicalis PW-51 could be effectively used for the biological treatment of phenolic resin wastewater.

Antigenicity of Rhodotrula rubra isolated from pulmonary tissue of pulmonary tuberculosis patients was studied by means of agglutination reaction with R. rubra whole cell antiserum. And the serological reactivity of crude polyfac charide from R. frubra, Candida albicans, Candida tropicalis, Candida, glabrata, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae ATCC 26603 with antiserum to R. rubra whole cell was studied by means of immunodiffusion test. R. rubra showed stationary phase after 48h when it was cultured in GYEP broth. While agglutinogen titer was 1:64 at lag phase, agglutinogen titer was 1 :256 after 20h. After growth of R. rubra on different 11 media, nutritional environment showed similar agglu-tination reartivity. The agglutinogen titer of C. albicans, C. tropicalis, C. giabrata, which were isolated from patient's expectoration, to R. rubra antiserum by means of agglutination reaction were 1:16, respectively. But, Sacch. cervisiae ATCC26603 was negative. Those results were lower than that of R. rubra agglutinogen titer 1:256. As a result of immu-nodiffusion test with crude polysaccharide extracted from cell wall of R. rubra, C. albicans, C. tropicalis, C. glabrata, Sacch. cervisiae ATCC26603, precipitin line was found only with R. rubra, of which antibody titer was 8.

Candida tropicalis was treated with ultraviolet (UV) rays, and the mutants obtained were screened for xylitol production. One of the mutants, the UV1 produced 0.81g of xylitol per gram of xylose. This was further mutated with N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG), and the mutants obtained were screened for xylitol production. One of the mutants (CT-OMV5) produced 0.85g/g of xylitol from xylose. Xylitol production improved to 0.87 g/g of xylose with this strain when the production medium was supplemented with urea. The CT-OMV5 mutant strain differs by 12 tests when compared to the wild-type Candida tropicalis strain. The XR activity was higher in mutant CT-OMV5. The distinct difference between the mutant and wild-type strain is the presence of numerous chlamvdospores in the mutant. In this investigation, we have demonstrated that mutagenesis was successful in generating a superior xylitol-producing strain, CT-OMV5, and uncovered distinctive biochemical and physiological characteristics of the wild-type and mutant strain, CT-OMV5.

Tridecanedioic acid (DC-13), starting material of the valuable musk ethylene brassylate, was obtained from n-tridecane by the Candida tropicalis mutant. The mutants were first obtained from primary screening step using the selective medium and then solid phase extraction sampling method was used for the selective isolation of organic acids from the cultured media of mutants. The resulting acids were directly converted to volatile tert-butyldimethyl silyl delivatives, which were then analyzed by gas chromatography. The efficient GC profiling method was used for the rapid identification of the mutant producing DC-13 in large quantity, and for the optimization of the culture conditions of mutant. The optimal culture conditions were found as follows: pH 8.0, 30$^{\circ}C$, 250rpm, 48hour of culture and $(NH_4)_2HPO_4$ as nitrogen source.

Flocculation of Candida tropicalis HY200 was systemically investigated to elucidate its mechanism, and used for cell cycles in repeated-batch cultivations for the production of xylitol from xylose. Flocculation occurred only after the late exponential phase of growth in the culture media and buffer within the narrow pH range of 3.0-5.0. The flocculation was completely inhibited by treatments of cells with proteases and partially reduced by treatments with carbohydrate-hydrolyzing enzymes and by the presence of mannose and glucose. The addition of calcium ions significantly enhanced the flocculation during cultivation, which was completely abolished by the addition of EDTA. The flocculent yeast HY200 provided repeated-batch cultivations employing cell recycles by flocculation over 6 rounds of cultivation for the production of xylitol from xylose, resulting in a relatively high productivity of averaged 4.6 g xylitol/l h over six batches and maximal 6.3 g xylitol/l h in the final sixth batch. Cell recycle by flocculation was fast and convenient, which could be applicable for the industrial scale of xylitol production.

칸디다혈증(candidemia)은 이환율과 사망률을 높이는 주요 원인으로 입원 환자에서 심각한 위험으로 남아 있으며 의료비용을 증가시킨다. 2009년부터 2018년까지 S병원의 혈액배양 검사에서 분리된 칸디다 균주 3,533건을 대상으로 시기별 분리빈도, 연도, 성별, 나이, 병동 등에 따라 분석하였다. 전체 기간 중 혈액 배양 의뢰 건수 717,996 중에 54,739건이 배양 양성으로 7.6%의 양성율을 보였으며 칸디다 분리률은 1,036명의 환자에서 3,533건으로 6.4%였다. 균종의 분포는 C. albicans (33.8%), C. tropicalis (28.6%), C. glabrata (19.8%), C. parapsilosis (7.8%), C. krusei (4.0%) 이다. 전기/후기 분리에서는 C. tropicalis가 3.8% 감소하고 C. glabrata는 3.4% 증가하였다. 50세 이후 연령이 증가할수록 분리 빈도가 높았으며, 1~10대에서는 C. parapsilosis (31.3%), 41~50대에서는 C. tropicalis (30.3%), C. glabrata (27.6%) 순으로, 80대에서는 C. tropicalis (28.6%)가 상대적으로 자주 분리되었다. C. krusei 는 여성(60.9%)에서 상대적으로 높은 비율로 분리되었다. 따라서 Candida 균종의 분포를 지속적으로 감시하고 신속한 동정 결과를 제공하여 적절한 치료 및 항진균제 치료 지침을 위한 체계적이고 지속적인 병원감염관리 시스템이 이루어져야 할 것이다.

Xylitol production from xylose and glucose was investigated using Candida tropicalis KFCC-10960. As glucose concentration in xylose medium was increased, ethanol production increased. However, xylitol production was maximum at glucose concentration of 10 g/l. The concentrated cells grown on xylose or glucose were inoculated in xylose medium. The specific activities of xylose reductase and xylitol dehydrogenase, and xylitol production in concentrated cells grown on glucose were the same as those in concentrated cells grown on xylose. The results suggested that cells grown on glucose had the same xylitol producing activity as those grown on xylose. By feeding glucose in xylose medium, cell growth was achieved from glucose and xylitol production was obtained from xylose. By using this technique, a final xylitol concentration of 261 g/l was achieved from 300 g/l xylose in 41 hours which corresponded to a xylitol yield from xylose of 87% and a xylitol productivity of 6.37 g/1-h.

The objective of this study was to optimize the slurry contents and salt concentrations for ethanol production from hydrolysates of the seaweed Eucheuma spinosum. A monosaccharide concentration of 44.2 g/l as 49.6% conversion of total carbohydrate of 89.1 g/l was obtained from 120 g dw/l seaweed slurry. Monosaccharides from E. spinosum slurry were obtained by thermal acid hydrolysis and enzymatic hydrolysis. Addition of activated carbon at 2.5% (w/v) and the adsorption time of 2 min were used in subsequent adsorption treatments to prevent the inhibitory effect of HMF. The adsorption surface area of the activated carbon powder was 1,400-1,600 m²/g and showed selectivity to 5-hydroxymethyl furfural (HMF) from monosaccharides. Candida tropicalis KCTC 7212 was cultured in yeast extract, peptone, glucose, and high-salt medium, and exposed to 80, 90, 100, and 110 practical salinity unit (psu) salt concentrations in the lysates. The 100 psu salt concentration showed maximum cell growth and ethanol production. The ethanol fermentations with activated carbon treatment and use of C. tropicalis acclimated to a high salt concentration of 100 psu produced 17.9 g/l of ethanol with a yield (Y_EtOH) of 0.40 from E. spinosum seaweed.
