Paenibacillus sp. JB-13 producing the cyclodextrin glucan-otransferase(CGTase) [EC 2.4.1.19] that glucosylated ascorbic acid(AA) at the C-2 position was isolated form soil and the optimal conditions for the production of 2-O-$\alpha$-D- Glucopyranosl L-Ascorbic acid(AA-2G) with CGTase were investigated. CGTase produced AA-2G efficiently using dextrin as a substrate and AA as an aceptor. Several AA-2-oilgosaccharides(AA-2Gs) were also produced in this reaction mixture, and these were efficiently hydro-lyzed to AA-2G and glucose by the treatment with glucoamylase. The optimal temperature for AA-2G production was $37^{\circ}C$ and the optimal pH was around 6.5. CGTase also utilized $\alpha$-,$\beta$-,${\gamma}$-CDs, soluble starch, com statch, dia-static solution from rice and diastatic solution from malt as substrate, but not glucose. The reaction mixture for the maximal production of AA-2G was following; 15% total substrate concentration, 2,500 units/ml of CGTase and a mixing ration of 3:2(g of AA: g of dextrin). Under this condition, 56 mM of AA-2G ,which corresponded to 12.4% yield based on AA. was produced after incubation for 44 hrs at $37^{\circ}C$ and pH 6.5.

Sisomicin, which is one of aminoglycoside antibiotics, was produced by Micromonospora inyoensis. The effects of carbon sources on sisomicin production were studied in batch cultures. Starch, dextrin and maltose were good carbon sources for the production of sisomicin. However, when glucose was used, the antibiotic productivity decreased significantly due to a carbon catabolite regulation. The carbon catabolite regulation depends mostly on carbon catabolite repression, but not on carbon catabolite inhibition. On the other hand, the growth-production curves of batch cultures show that sisomicin is produced most actively during the idiophase.

The effects of inlet air temperature and atomizing pressure on the coating efficiency were evaluated using peanuts. Broken peanut pieces were coated with dextrin and sodium caseinate solution by a fluidized bed coater. The coating efficiency was significantly influenced by inlet air temperature and atomizing pressure, with the optimal efficiency achieved at $70^{\circ}C$ and 3 bar, respectively. The coating material consisting of dextrin and sodium caseinate could be used for preventing rancidity of broken peanut.

A study was conducted to obtain optimal mycelial growth conditions of Pleurotus eryngii. Mycelial growth was best on medium Lilly, temperature $25{\sim}30^{\circ}C$, and pH 6.0. Optimal carbon sources were $3{\sim}4%$ glucose and 5% dextrin. Casamino acid 0.12% in medium was good for mycelial growth as a nitrogen source.

Glutinous rice Sikhye was fermented by Saccharomyces cerevisiae for 10 day at 29$^{\circ}C$. Fermentable sugars such as maltose and maltotriose in glutinous rice Sikhye were converted into ethanol by the yeast, but limit dextrin was remained after the fermentation. fermentation rate of sugars in glutinous rice Sikhye was lower than that in rice Sikhye. Glutinous rice Sikhye wine was found to contain 7.3% of limit dextrin, 3.6% of ethanol, 0.35$\mu$mol/ml of amino acid, 100$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml of protein, and the acidity of the Sikhye showed 3.2, respectively, and its pH was 3.23. Limit dextrin in glutinous rice Sikhye wine showed both signal of $\alpha$-1, 4- and $\alpha$-1,6- glucisidic linkage with its estimation ratio of 5.6:1 by 1H-NMR analysis. The taste of rice Sikhye wine was similar that of wine.

Glucoamylase (EC 3.2.1.3) of Aspergillus sp. isolated from soil was partially purified by Sephacryl S-200 gel filtration and DEAE-Sephacel ion exchange chromatography, The glucoamylase activity was separated into two isozymes after DEAE-Sephacel ion exchange chromatrography. The optimum pH and temperature for both glucoamylase isozymes (GI, GII) were identical; pH 4.5 and temperature, $65^{\circ}C$. The molecular weights of GI and GII Isozymes were estimated to be 105,000, which were measured by gel filtration on Sephacryl S-200. Both isozymes were stable at pH ranges of 2 to 7, and up to 6$0^{\circ}C$. Glycerol was effective to stabilize the both isozymes. The activation energies of GI and GII isozymes were 10.63 and 10.33 kcal/mole, respectively. The enzyme activities of both isozymes were completely inactivated by addition of 0.1% Hg$^{++}$. In kinetic studies, the Km values of GI isozyme for soluble starch, dextrin, and glycogen were 0.62%, 0.32%, and 1.02%, respectively. For GII isozyme, they became 0.66%, 0.23%. and 0.14% for the substrates.

Alcohol fermentations were carried out to confirm the capacity of ethanol production from glucose, starch and soluble starch(dextrin) by Schwanniomyces castellii NRRL Y-2477. Schw. castellii NRRL Y-2477 was able to produce the 63.9g/l ethanol using 94% subtrate from 150g/l-glucose medium. The direct alcohol fermentation of starch having the maximum solubility of 20g/1 at $30^{\circ}C$ yielded 9.1g/l ethanol upon complete depletion of starch, whereas 34.5g/1 ethanol was produced by utilizing 82% of 100g/1 soluble starch medium. The fermentation of 150g/1 soluble starch produced 52.1g/l ethanol using about 79% of substrate. Thus, it was found that the limiting step of direct alcohol fermentation of starch by Schwanniomyces castellii NRRL Y-2477 was a hydrolysis of starch.

Agrocybe aegerita is Hymenomycetes fungus belonging to the order Agaricales and family of Bolbitiaceae. Much less is known about liquid culture of Agrocybe aegerita. Thus, the present study was to investigate the liquid cultural characteristics of Agrocybe aegerita my-celium. The optimal medium for the mycelial growth and density was ME medium, optimal tem-perature and initial pH were 25$\pm$1$^{\circ}C$ and 5.5, respectively. And optimal culture time for mycelial growth was 12 days. The modified optimal medium compositions were dextrin 3% (w/v), yeast extract 2% (w/w), MgSO$_4$0.05% (w/v), and KH$_2$PO$_4$0.15% (w/v). Under optimal culture conditions, the mycelial growth of modified optimal medium was higher than that of ME medium.

Some structural characteristics of hot-water insoluble rice starch [3 varieties of Japonica type and 3 varieties of Tongil type(Japonica-Indica breeding type)]were investigated. The amylose contents of hot-water insoluble starches were 2.7-6.1%. The chain distributions of hot-water insoluble starches were composed of super long chain of above ${\overline{DP}}\;55$ (31.9-38.7%), B chain of ${\overline{DP}}\;40-50$ (12.3-18.0%) and A chain of ${\overline{DP}}\;10-20$ (48.5-50.4%). The chain distributions of hot-water insoluble starches and their ${\beta}-limit$ dextrin were difference between rice varieties and their were differ from those of amylopectin and their ${\beta}-limit$ dextrin. these result suggest that hot-water insolubility of rice starch was showed its characteristic on the varieties and it be responsible for the molecular structure of amylopectin.
