본 연구는 하 ${\cdot}$ 폐수 중의 유기물뿐만 아니라 질소, 인을 생물학적으로 제거하는 실험을 수행하였다. 공정 내 미생물의 유실을 방지하고 미생물이 고농도 상태로 유지 가능한 부착성장의 한 공법인 RBC에 끈상 나선형 미생물 접촉재를 설치한 반웅기를 이용하였다. 원수는 Glucose 1,800 mg/L, $NH_{4}Cl$ 500 mg/L, $KH_{2}PO_{4}$ 5mg/L를 혼합한 인공폐수를 제조하여 공정에 주입하였고, 그 결과 각각 미생물이 폐수에 적응하는 단계인 Period 1에서는 각 수질 분석 항목의 농도가 점차적으로 감소하는 경향을 보였으며, 정상상태라고 판단한 Period 2에서는 최종적으로 유입수에 대한 유출수의 제거율은 각각 $TCOD_{Cr}$ 94%, BOD 87%, T-N 85%, T-P 89%의 결과를 나타내었다.

The aim of the present research program was to construct an optimum fermentation system and to characterize the properties of cathepsin B inhibitor from Streptomyces chromofuscus SMF28. Glucose and casitone were proved to be good carbon source and nitrogen source, respectively. The production of inhibitor was high at lower concentration than 10 mM of inorganic phosphate. The optimum temperature and pH for the production of inhibitor were 30$\circ$C and pH 7, respectively. The production of inhibitor was related to mycelial growth and was affected by medium composition. The inhibitor in culture filtrate of S. chromofuscus SMF28 was purified by butanol extraction, silica gel chromatography, Amberlite IRC-50 (H$^{+}$ form) chromatography, preparative TLC, and preparative HPLC. From amino acid analysis and UV, IR, $^{1}$H-NMR spectroscopic analysis, the inhibitor was identified as a peptide containing valine and phenylalanine derivative.

The effect of volatile components on cell growth and polysaccharide production in suspension cultures of Aloe saponaria was investigated using an intelligent on-line gas control system which enabled to control the concentrations of oxygen, carbon dioxide and ethylene simultaneously. Aloe production was enhanced in the presence of exogenous ethylene in the concentration range of 5ppm and 15ppm. Maintaining high tension of carbon dioxide (5% v/v) was found to enhance polysaccharide production significantly.

Marine baceteria of fish interstines were screened for high eicosapentaenoic acid(EPA) productivity. An isolated bacteria, KS-90, identified and designated as Allteromonus putrefaciens KS-90. A. putrefaciens KS-90 was found to be a rich source of EPA production and it was observed on incuibation at 4~12.5$^{\circ}C$ and pH 7.0. The production of EPA reached 18mg/g of dry cell weight when A. putrefaciens KS-90 was grown in the medium containing 1.0% pepton, 0.5% yeast extract, 0.025% meat extract and 2.0% glucose in 1/2 concentration of an artificial seawater, pH for 48 hr at $25^{\circ}C$. This value accounted for 24.7% of the total fatty acid in the extractable lipids.

Microbial surfactants are more effective and environmentally friendly than many synthetic surfactants. Sophorolipid, a glycolipid type microbial surfactant, is produced from C. bombiocola. Cultivation techniques to increase the productivity have been developed using various carbon sources and reactor setup, reaching its concentration upto 100-300 g/L. Due to its high productivity and non-toxicity, sophorolipid became one of the most promising alternative to synthetic surfactants. Fermentative production of sophorolipid depends primarily on the carbon sources, such as glucose and vegetable oils, and nitrogen sources. Chemical modification of the sophorolipid produces various derivative with different physical properties including hydrophile-liphophilie balance(HLB), emulsion formation, surface tension and dispersing ability. Commercial potentials of sophorolipid in the cosmetic, health care and environment clean-up industries have been discussed.

Effect of mannose on auxin-induced ethylene production in corn (Zea mays L.) coleoptiles was studied. Auxin induced ethylene production decreased in proportion to mannose concentrations. The inhibitory effect of mannose appeared after 2 h of incubation. Ethylene production was significantly depressed by mannose at high concentration (10-5M-10-4M) of indole acetic acid (IAA), but not at low concentrations (10-8M-10-6M). The inhibition of auxin-induced ethylene production by mannose was specific, since other sugars such as galactose, glucose, sucrose and mannitol did not have an inhibitory effect. In an effort to elucidate mechanisms of mannose the effect on the auxin induced ethylene production, effect of the sugar on ACC synthase activity and ACC induced ethylene production was studied. Mannose failed to inhibit ACC mediated ethylene production, but decreased both the ACC content and ACC synthase activity in the tissue. These results suggest that the inhibitory effect of mannose on auxin induced ethylene production results from suppression of auxin induction of ACC synthase.

The optimal glucose concentration for the high-density culture of recombinant yeasts was obtained using dynamic simulation. An adaptive and predictive algoritilm complimented by the rule base was proposed for the control of the fed-batch fermentation process. The measurement of process variables has relatively long sampling period and relatively long time delay characteristics. As one of the solution on these problems, prediction techniques and rule bases were added to a classical recursive identification and control algorithm. Rule bases were used in the determination of control input considering the difference between the predicted value and the measured value. A mathelnatical model was used in the estimation and interpretation of the changes of state variables and parameters. Better performances were obtained by employing the control algorithm proposed in the present study compared to the conventional adaptive control method.

Biotransformation of progesterone to 11 $\alpha$ -hydroxyprogesterone by growing cells of Rhizopus nigricans was investigated. As the concentration of progesterone increased, the specific growth rate of R. nigricans decreased linearly, and consequently the conversion yield lowered. The hyphae of the microorganism were observed to become thicker, shorter, and more densely branched at high concentrations of progesterone. In order to improve the process productivity, biotransformation was conducted with continuous addition of progesterone. When the substrate was added continuously at a rate of 0.86 g/hr for 30 hrs, overall conversion yield reached upto 56% while a single addition of the same amount of progesterone yielded about 40% eonversion. When additional feeding of glucose was carried out upon its depletion, an improved br'oconversion yield upto 68% was obtained.

The result of isolated and selected to the strain having the emulsifying activity from soil's strain the strain was identified as Candida genus. The strain was investigated with culture condition at pH culture temperature, flow rate of air, strring rate etc., and physicochemical properties of the biosurfactant were examined. The optimum composition of medium for a strain cultivation were obtained as follow : glucose ; 100g/L, yeast extract ; 10g/L, urea ; 1.0g/L, KH$_{2}$PO$_{4}$ ; 50mg/L, MgSO$_{4}$ ; 500mg/L, and the op condition of cultivation was as follow : pH ; 3.0, temperatlue ; 24$\circ $C, strring rate ; 40rpm. The maximum yield of biosurfactant was obtained by pH ; 3.0-3.5, and temperature ; 25$\circ $C. The degree of emulsification of syntesized biosurfactant was increased clearly by increasing concentration of biosurfactant and it's stability was maintained for a long time. The surface tension of biosurfactant was varied with pH, especially it was showed that the surface tension was high at acidic pH.

Dinitrophenol is preventing cells from making energy for growth and it has been suggested that pH may be important in mitigating effects of uncouplers. The effect of pH on toxicity of dinitrophenol at high concentration was investigated, over a pH range of 5.7 to 8.7. DNP inhibition was found to be strongly dependent on mixed liquor pH. The DNP degradation rate was highest in the pH range of 7.0 to 7.8; at pH 6.0 degradation of 0.41 mM dinitrophenol was significantly inhibited; at pH <5.7, dinitrophenol degradation was completely inhibited after approximately 25% of the dinitrophenol was degraded. However no significant effect of pH variation was seen on glucose uptake by the activated sludge mixed culture.
