Alkalophilic Cephalosporium sp. RYM-202 produced multiple xylanases extracellularly. One of these xylanases was purified to electrophoretical homogeneity by chromatography with DEAE-Sephadex A-50, Sephacryl S-200 HR and Superose 12 HR. The purified xylanase differed from most other microbial xylanases in that it had low-molecular weight and acidic isoelectric point. The molecular weight of the xylanase in that it had low-molecular weight and acidic isoelectric point. The molecular weight of the xylanase was 23 kDa by SDS-polyacrylamide electrophoresis and 24 kDa by gel permeation chromatography, and the isoelectric point was 4.3. The xylanase had the highest activity permentation chromatography, and the isoelectric point was 4.3. The xylanase had the highest activity permeation chromatography, and the isoelectric point was 4.3. The xylanase had the highest activity at pH 8.0 and 50 .deg.C. It was stable over a wide range of pH and retained more than 80% of its original activity after 24 h of incubation even at pH 12. The Km values of this enzyme on birchwood xylan and oat spelts xylan were 2.33 and 3.45 mg/ml, respectively. The complete inhibition of the enzyme of n-bromosuccinimide suggests the involvement of tryptophan in the active site. The sylanase lacked activity towards crystalline cellulose and carboxymethyl cellulose.

Cephalosporium acremonium is a filamentous microorganism producing cephalosporin C. The morphological differentiation of C. acremonium in submerged culture is closely related with the rheological properties of culture broth and production of cephalosporin C. In this study, the rheological and morphological properties of culture broth of C. acremonium were investigated. In the seed broths of shake-flask and fermenter culture, the Herschel-Berkley equation was in excellent agreement with experimental results in the whole range of shear rate. In the seed broths of shake-flask culture, morphological differentiation into arthrospores affected to changes of apparent viscosity. But results in the fermenter culture, morphological factors such as mean hyphal thickness and the number of tips gave more effect on changes of apparent vitacosity than differentiation into arthrospores. Overall, it suggested that the morphological parameters measured by image analysis can be used as a good parameter to indicate the rheological properties of culture broth of C. acremonium M25.

In a 30-1 bioreactor culture, whole differentiation occurred from 48 h, and then proceeded rapidly. As swollen hyphal fragments and arthrospores increased, cephalosporin C (CPC) production increased exponentially to $1.85\;g/1^{-1}$ at 72 h. To explain the morphological changes of Cephalosporium acremonium M25 more quantitatively, specific differentiation rates and fractal analysis were employed. Specific differentiation rates of morphological factors varied greatly during the period of culture time from 48 h to 72 h, when CPC production increased significantly. Changes of fractal dimensions showed a pattern similar to that of the specific rate of arthrospores. Furthermore, it was inversely related to the specific rate of tips. Overall, it was suggested that the fractal dimension had potential for a new morphological parameter of fungal morphology, showing complex differentiation patterns.

Cephalosporium acremonium CSA-2.8A3 변이주로 부터 생성된 cephaloporin C를 정제하여 산업적 이용을 위해 ultrafiltration으로 균체를 제거하고 수종의 수지공정을 통하여 소디움염 형태의 cephalosporin C를 정제하였으며 역삼투막에 의한 농축과 분무건조를 행하였다. WA-30, HO-20, XAD-2000, SK-1B column chromatography를 통해 90% 이상의 높은 수율과 순도를 얻을 수 있었고, 특히 상기 수지들을 직렬로 연결하여 사용합으로써 수율은 96%까지 올릴 수 있었다.

Cephalosporium acremonium MAR-80, a strain of methionine analogue-resistant mutant, showed good activity of sulfate utilization as only sulfur source. The effect of methionine on the sulfate uptake system was investigated by using $Na_{2}^{35}SO_{4}$ as a tracer in the resting cell system. From this result, it was revealed that sulfate permease of this strain was less repressed and/or less inhibited by methionine than parent type. This deregulation was due to low actibity of methionine uptake, which was operated by somewhat simple diffusion. From these studies, it could by anticipated that the improved productivity of cephalosporin C and lower dependence of cephalosporin C production on methionine were related to increased uptake rate of sulfate.

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of nutrients and culture conditions on morphology during the seed culture of C. acremonium ATCC 20339 Morphological factors such as hyphal length number of tips number of arthrospores were observed to investigate the relationship between seed morphology and CPC production. During the time course of seed culture, hyphal length was shortened and the number of arthrospores increased rapidly On the other hand the number of tips deceased rapidly and this was closely related to the hyphal length Mixed nitrogen sources of 3% solybean meal and 1% cotton seed flour were determined as the proper organic nitrogen sources, in terms of the morphological factors in the seed culture. This fact was proven in batch culture for the production of Cephalosporin C. It was also found that a proper agitation speed enhanced the morphological differentiation of C. acremonium ATCC 20339, thus improving the production of Cephalosporin C.

항세균성 항생제인 세팔로스포린 C가 그 자신의 생산균주인 C. acremonium M-113의 생장을 저해하였다. 비슷한 저해현상이 C. acremonium ATCC 20339와 ATCC 14553에도 관찰되었다. 세팔로스포린C의 최소 생육 저지농도가 분생포자의 경우 200-500$\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$이었고 균사의 경우 3,000-4,000 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$이었다. 이 최소 생육 저지농도는 복합배지에서 더욱 상승되었다. 세팔로스포린C는 배양초기에 존재할 경우. 그 생육 저지 효과를 나타내었다. 세팔로스포린 C의 생육 저지 효과는 세팔로스포린 C가 아미노산의 세포 내로의 수송을 방해함으로써 나타나는 것으로 조사되었다. 생육 저지 기저에 세팔로스포린 C의 3' 기가 중요 역할을 하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 세팔로스포린 C는 배지에 질소원이 결핍될 때 질소원으로 이용될 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.

The objective of this study is to improve cephalosporin C (CPC) production byoptimization of medium and culture conditions. A statistical method was introduced to optimize the main culture medium. The main medium for CPC production was optimized using a statistical method. Glucose and corn steep liquor (CSL) were found to be the most effective factors for CPC production. Glucose and CSL were optimized to 2.84 and $6.68\%$, respectively. CPC produc­tion was improved $50\%$ by feeding of $5\%$ rice oil at day 3rd and 5th day during the shake flask culture of C acremonium M25. The effect of agitation speeds on CPC production in a 2.5-L bio­reactor was also investigated with fed-batch mode. The maximum cell mass (54.5 g/L) was obtained at 600 rpm. However, the maximum CPC production (0.98 g/L) was obtained at 500 rpm. At this condition, the maximum CPC production was improved about $132\%$ compared to the re­sult with batch flask culture.
