Flavonoid production by suspended cells of Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi was studied and the medium was optimized for cell growth and baicalin production. In SH medium the flavonoid production was not closely associated with the cell growth. A modified SH medium, FPM, was therefore designed for enhanced baicalin production. In FPM, both cell growth and baicalin production were increased by 1.5 times and 1.67 times than in the original SH medium, respectively. The increases could be attributed to the increased metabolic activities involved in the flavonoid biosynthesis as represented by enhanced activities of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase.

Optimal media and cultural conditions for the production of prodigiosin-like pigment were established using Serratia sp. KH-95. Glucose and phosphate(K2PO4) stimulated the cell growth, but inhibited the production of pigment at concentration levels of above 10 g/L and 2.0 g/L, respectively. Addition of soy been oil or rice oil to the production medium accelerated cell growth up to more than 2-3 times, but the production of prodigiosin increased about 15-20% in spite of the good cell growth. The effect of pH on the production of pigment was investigated in a 5 liter-bioreactor. When the pH of culture broth was maintained below 8.0, most of pigment was attached to the surface of cells. When the pH of culture broth was above 8.5, however, about 70% of total pigment was suspended in the supernatant of the broth. The cell growth and production of pigment were inhibited at dissolved oxygen concentration of below 10% of air-saturation.

Bifidobacterium has been previously shown to potentiate immune function, which was mediated through the stimulation of cytokine production by macrophage. This study was performed to further characterize the effective component of Bifidobacterium by measuring the level of interleukin (IL)-6 cytokine using the RAW 264.7 murine cell line as a macrophage model. RAW 264.7 cells were cultured for 24 h in the presence of whole cells (WCs), cell walls (CWs), and cell-free extracts (CFEs) from various strains of Bifidobacterium and other lactic acid bacteria at various concentrations. The most effective component was different depending on the strains and the concentrations used. When tested with each cell fraction from Bifidobacterium sp. BGN4, heat treatment of the cell fractions lowered the production of IL-6. Synergistic effect was obtained, especially when CWs and CFEs were combined. Sonicated WCs stimulated IL-6 production more than intact WCs. The in vitro approaches employed here should be useful in further characterization of the effects of Bifidobacterium on gastrointestinal and systemic immunity.

Soybean agglutinin (SBA) is an anti-nutritional factor of soybean, affecting cell proliferation and inducing cytotoxicity. Integrins are transmembrane receptors, mediating a variety of cell biological processes. This research aims to study the effects of SBA on cell proliferation and cell cycle progression of the intestinal epithelial cell line from piglets (IPEC-J2), to identify the integrin subunits especially expressed in IPEC-J2s, and to analyze the functions of these integrins on IPEC-J2 cell cycle progression and SBA-induced IPEC-J2 cell cycle alteration. The results showed that SBA lowered cell proliferation rate as the cell cycle progression from G0/G1 to S phase (P < 0.05) was inhibited. Moreover, SBA lowered mRNA expression of cell cycle-related gene CDK4, Cyclin E and Cyclin D1 (P < 0.05). We successfully identified integrins ${\alpha}2$, ${\alpha}3$, ${\alpha}6$, ${\beta}1$, and ${\beta}4$ in IPEC-J2s. These five subunits were crucial to maintain normal cell proliferation and cell cycle progression in IPEC-J2s. Restrain of either these five subunits by their inhibitors, lowered cell proliferation rate, and arrested the cells at G0/G1 phase of cell cycle (P < 0.05). Further analysis indicated that integrin ${\alpha}2$, ${\alpha}6$, and ${\beta}1$ were involved in the blocking of G0/G1 phase induced by SBA. In conclusion, these results suggested that SBA lowered the IPEC-J2 cell proliferation rate through the perturbation of cell cycle progression. Furthermore, integrins were important for IPEC-J2 cell cycle progression, and they were involved in the process of SBA-induced cell cycle progression alteration, which provide a basis for further revealing SBA anti-proliferation and anti-nutritional mechanism.

Callus and cell suspension cultures of Eurycoma longifolia Jack were initiated from leaves of different trees. The leaf explant of tree Eu9 produced the most calli and also induced high cell biomass in the cell suspension culture. Optimum production of cell biomass could be initiated in proliferating culture medium with a pH of 5.75 prior to autoclaving. The effects of macronutrient inorganic salts of Murashige and Skoog (MS) liquid medium supplemented with X on production of cell biomass of Eurycoma longifolia were also investigated. The highest cell biomass was produced in MS medium containing macronutrients of $21\;mM\;NH_4NO_3,\;12.25\;mM\;KNO_3,\;3.00\;mM\;CaCl_2.2H_2O,\;0.575\;mM\;MgSO_4.7H_2O$, and $1.83\;mM\;KH_2PO_4$. A new medium labeled as TAM was formulated for the production of Eurycoma longifolia cell biomass in the cell suspension culture.

Aged black garlic (ABG) was extracted with 20% ethanol and water (crude extracts) and fractionated into three categories (>10, 3-10, and <3 kDa). The effect of crude extract supplements on anti-My-10 hybridoma cell growth and IgG1 antibody production was investigated in suspension culture with a chemically defined protein-free medium. We observed that supplementation of ABG to the cell culture medium stimulated anti-My-10 hybridoma cell growth and production of IgG1 antibody, particularly with fractionated ABG of low molecular weight. The stimulation depended upon the concentration and the size of the fractionated ABG. We also found that the growth-promoting activity was not correlated with high antibody production. These results suggest that fractionated ABG is a novel and promising alternative as an animal cell culture supplement.

Taxus brevifolia와 Taxus cuspidata 현탁세포배 양에서 taxa!의 생산에 가장 적합한 초기 접종농도 를 결정하기 위해 접종농도를 세포생체중량으로 2.5, 5 5, 7.5, 10 g/flask가 되도록 변화시켜 세포의 생장 과 taxol의 생산을 측정하였다. Taxus brevifolia의 경우 초기 접종농도가 높을수록 lag phase가 감소되 는 경향을 보였으며, 두 가지 세포주(Taxus bre­1 vifolia와 Taxus cuspidata)에서 모두 초기 접종농도 를 5 g/flask가 taxol의 생산에 최척 임을 확인할 수 있었다. Taxol 생산에 가장 척합한 초기 접종농도로 생장배지와 생산배지에 세포를 접종시켰을 때 생장 배지에서는 taxal이 검출되지 않았지만 6% 자당을 이용한 생산배지에서는 9일째 taxol이 최대로 생산 되었다가 이후 다시 줄어드는 경향을 보였다.

The direct carbon fuel cell (DCFC) has attracted researcher's attention recently, due to its high conversion efficiency and its abundant fuel, carbon. A DCFC mathematical model has developed in two-dimensional, lab-scale, and considers Boudouard reaction and carbon monoxide (CO) oxidation. The model simulates the CO production by Boudouard reaction and additional electron production by CO oxidation. The Boudouard equilibrium strongly depends on operating temperature and affects the amount of produced CO and consequentially affects the overall fuel cell performance. Two different operating temperatures (973 K, 1023 K) has been calculated to discover the CO production by Boudouard reaction and overall fuel cell performance. Moreover, anode thickness of the cell has been considered to find out the influence of the Boudouard reaction zone in fuel cell performance. It was found that in high temperature operating DCFC modeling, the Boudouard reaction cannot be neglected and has a vital role in the overall fuel cell performance.

Red beet(Beta vulagris L.) 모상근의 회분배양을 이용한 천연색소인 betacyanin 생산 최적화를 위해 광도, C/N ratio, 인산의 농도를 각각 변화시켜 세포생육과 색소 생산성에 관한 동력학적 분석을 실시했다. 광도변화에 따른 배양 결과 3 klux의 경우 0.3(1/day)의 최대 비 생육속도와 0.11(mg/g-dry cell/day)의 최대 비 생산속도 그리고 14 k1ux에서 0.242(1/day)의 최대 비 생육속도와 0.125(mg/g-dry cell/day)의 최대 비 생산속도를 나타냈다. 광도와 균체의 생육관계를 검토한 결과 광도에 따른 세포 생육은 photoinhibition model이 적용됨이 확인되었다. Red beet 모상근으로부터 betacyanin의 생산은 partially growth related process임이 입증됐다. 이에 따른 세포당 최대 betacyanin 생산을 나타내는 $\alpha$는 0.3756 (mg/cell)이며, 최대 생산속도를 나타내는 $\beta$는 0.001 (mg/g-cel1/day)로 측정됐다. C/N ratio에 따른 실험결과 42.1(w/w)에서 0.26(1/day)의 최대 비생육 속도를 나타내었으나 최대 비 생산속도는 31.6(w/w)에서 0.075(mg/g-cell/day)를 나타냈다. 인 농도에 대한 균체의 생육 및 물질 생산성의 관계를 검토한 결과 1.25mM에서 0.31(1/day)의 비생육 속도와 0.134(mg/g-dry cell/day) 비생산 속도를 나타내었다. 최적 조건을 결정하기 위한 response surface methodology(RSM)결과 세포 생육과 betacyanin의 최대 생산을 위한 최적 광도는 5.5 (klux),최적 C/N ratio와 인의 농도는 27(w/w), 1.25 (mM)로 결정됐다. 그리고 0.1 $\mu$M kinetin 첨가시 대조구에 비해 비생산성이 0.085(mg/g-dry cell/day)로 증가함이 입증됐다. Normal조건과 optimum조건의 비교결과 세포의 농도인 X(g-dry wt./L)가 8와 16, betacyanin의 생산량인 P(mg/L)가 4.48과 12.5, 그리고 optimum 조건에서 최대비 생육속도인 $\mu$$_{max}$ 가 0.375와 그리고 최대비 생산속도인 q$^{max}$ $_{p}$ 는 0.134로 약 2배로서 최적화가 되었다.
