Behavior of Listeria monocytogenes in Skim milk during fermentation by Lactobacillus bulgaricus YI-2 and Streptococcus lactis FYI-1 were determined. Autoclaved skim milk was inoculated with ca. 10$^{3}$ L. monocytogenes (Strain LM91-1 or LM 96-2) cells/ml, and with 5.0, 1.0, 0.5 or 0.1% of a milk culture of either L. bulgaricus TI-2 or S. lactis FYI-1. Skim milk containing ca. 10$^{3}$ L. monocytogenes was incubated at 37 or 42$\circ $C for 15 h with L. bulgaricus YI-2, and at 21 or 30$\circ $C for 15 h with S. lactis FYI-1. Cultured skim milks were stored at 4$\circ $C in the refrigerater. Samples were plated on Oxford Agar with oxford antimicrobic supplement to enumerate L. monocytogenes and on either modified MRS agar to enumerate lactic acid bacteria. L. monocytogenes survived the 15-h fermentation with S. lactis FYI-1 in all combinations of level of inoculum and temperature of incubation, but inhibition of growth ranged from 94 to 100%. When incubated with over the 1.0% of L. bulgaricus, L. monocytogenes inhibited or disappeared in fermented skim milk from 9 h after incubation. Especially, incubation at 42$\circ $C with 5.0% L. bulgaricus YI-2 as inoculum appeared to be the most effective inhibitory combination for strain LM 91-1, causing 100% inhibition in growth based on maximum papulation attained. In most instances of incubated with L. bulgaricus YI-2, growth of the pathogene appeared to be completely inhibited when the pH dropped below 4.38.

This paper presents a new fabrication method of selective SiGe epitaxial growth at 650 $^{\circ}C$ on (100) silicon wafer with oxide patterns by reduced pressure chemical vapor deposition. The new method is characterized by a cyclic process, which is composed of two parts: initially, selective SiGe epitaxy layer is grown on exposed bare silicon during a short incubation time by SiH$_4$/GeH$_4$/HCl/H$_2$system and followed etching step is achieved to remove the SiGe nuclei on oxide by HCl/H$_2$system without source gas flow. As a result, we noted that the addition of HCl serves not only to reduce the growth rate on bare Si, but also to suppress the nucleation on SiO$_2$. In addition, we confirmed that the incubation period is regenerated after etching step, so it is possible to grow thick SiGe epitaxial layer sustaining the selectivity. The effect of the addition of HCl and dopants incorporation was investigated.

Precolumn orthophthaldehyde (OPA) labeling method of sphingoid bases, sphingosine and sphinganine, was investigated to obtain high fluorescent detectability. In order to improve the fluorescent yield, we investigated the optimal solubility of sphingoid bases for five pre-incubation solvents by incorporating the heating procedure before OPA derivatization. The pre-incubation in ethanol prominently increased the fluorescent peak height of OPA derivative for each sphingoid bases in high performance liquid chromatography. About tenfold increase of detectability was archived by pre-incubating lipid extracts pellets in ethanol at $60^{\circ}C$ for 30 min. Optimal derivatization was performed in 30 min at ambient temperature and the fluorescent intensity of OPA derivative was stable for two weeks at $4^{\circ}C$. The detection limit of sphingosine was 0.1 pmol as injected amount. This method was applied to the determination of cellular sphingosine and sphinganine in various human lung cancer cells. This OPA procedure was prospective to be useful for quantitating the amount of sphingoid bases in other cancer cells.

We investigated starvation of hatching larvae, occasional artificial hatching and incubation method to establish year-round rearing of the wild silkmoth, Antheraea yamamai. In the test of starvation of hatching larvae for brushing at a time, the survival rate of the fourth instar of larvae starved for 1 day after hatching in $25^{\circ}C\;and\;5^{\circ}C$ was 83.3% and 96.0%, respectively. The result represents that the survival rate is high at low temperature during starvation. In the occasional artificial hatching test for multi-times rearing of A. yamamai, the useful hatchability is high at $5^{\circ}C$ in case of preserving eggs for 2 months from incubation time, and at both $2.5^{\circ}C\;and\;0^{\circ}C$ in case of over 6 months. A new incubation method with pre-incubation at $15^{\circ}C$ and 24 D photoperiod showed high hatchability about 80% for only 2 days compared with hatching for 5-6 days in traditional incubation method with the preservation at $25^{\circ}C$.

This study was designed to observe the effect of temperature cycling on the production of aflatoxin by Aspergillus parasiticus R-716 in rice, barley, peanut and soybean. In those media, temperature cycling resulted in more total aflatoxin production by the strain of R-716 than constant incubation at $28{\circ}$C and natural condition did. Especially, high level of total aflatoxin ($1826{\mu}g$/30g) in rice medium at temperature cycling was produced. The intensity of yellow color of chloroform extracts correlated with the concentration of aflatoxin, and the ratio of aflatoxin $B_1$ to aflatoxin $B_2, G_1, G_2$ is lower at temperature cycling condition than at $28{\circ}$C.

Partitioning of human granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (hGM-CSF) was achieved in the aqueous two-phase systems (ATPSs) using a crude extract of transgenic tobacco cell suspension culture. This study examined the effects of polyethylene glycol (PEG) molecular weight and concentration and the effects of sodium phosphate concentration in different PEG/sodium phosphate systems on the partition coefficient, K. The best ATPS system was 5% PEG 8,000/1.6 M sodium phosphate after 2 h of incubation at room temperature. In this system, hGM-CSF was partitioned in the PEG-rich phase with a yield of 57.99% and K$\_$hGM-CSF/ of 8.12. In another system, 3% PEG 10,000/1.6 M sodium phosphate, hGM-CSF was also partitioned primarily in the top phase with a yield of 45.66% and K$\_$hGM-CSF/ of 7.64 after 2 h of incubation at room temperature.

The aerobic batch growth of Issatchenkia orientalis DY252 with glucose and fructose medium was investigated at 32$\^{C}$ and pH 5.0. Aerobic ethanol production was evident with yeast I, orientalis. A diauxic lag of about 1 h between growth on glucose and growth on ethanol during batch culture was observed. However, no diauxic growth occurred with fructose. As the incubation temperature was increased from 32 to 39$\^{C}$, viability at the end of each batch culture declined significantly, from 93 to 43%, Unlike the effect of temperature, viability was not greatly affected by incubation pH, and cell yield values in a range of 0.45-0.48 were obtained. In order to overcome overflow metabolism, a fedbatch culture under glucose limitation was carried out. Compared with aerobic batch culture, about 10% improvement in cell yield was achieved with a fed-batch culture in optimal conditions.

The present study developed an efficient and environmentally friendly method for recovering polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) from Cupriavidus necator. Several non-halogenated solvents were tested and it was found that butyl acetate and ethyl acetate are powerful solvents for the biopolymer. Testing was performed to examine the effects of temperature (25℃ until temperature below solvent boiling points) and heating incubation time (0-60 min) on the two solvents. Butyl acetate had a higher recovery level (96%) and product purity (up to 99%) than ethyl acetate at 103℃ and a heating incubation time of 30 min. Under these conditions, PHB recorded the highest molecular weight of 1.4 × 10⁶ compared with the standard procedure (i.e., recovery using chloroform). The proposed strategy showed that butyl acetate is a good alternative to halogenated solvents such as chloroform for recovery of PHB.

Selective epitaxial growth(SEG) of silicon were performed at low temperature under an ultraclean environment below $1000^{\circ}C$ using ultraclean $Si_2H_6$ and $H_2$ gases ambient in low pressure chemical vapor deposition(LPCVD). As a result of ultraclean processing, epitaxial Si layers with good quality were obtained for uniform and SEG wafer at temperatures range 600~$710^{\circ}C$ and an incubation period of Si deposition only on $SiO_2$ was found. Low-temperature Si selectivity deposition condition and epitaxy on Si were achieved without addition of HCl. The epitaxial layer was found to be thicker than the poly layer deposited over the oxide. Incubation period prolonged for 20~30 sec can be obtained by $O_2$addition. The surface morphologies & cross sections of the deposited films were observed with SEM, The structure of the Si films was evaluated XRD.

Aspergillus niger var. macrospours, Aspergillus fumigatus, Penicillium notatum and Penicillium spinulosum were cultured under different cultural conditions. The lipids produced by these species and fatty acid compositions of lipids were investigated. The macimum lipid contents produced by each species were 17.8% for Asp. niger var. macrosporus, 31% for Asp. fumigatus, 12.6% for P. notatum and 17.5% for P. spinulosum, respectively. The major fatty acid compositions were palmitic acid, stearic acid, oleic acid and linoleic acid. Asp. niger var. macrosporus and Asp. fumigatus were highest oleic acid during all incubation periods and P. notatum and P. spinulsum were linoleic acid. Degree of unsaturation was higher Penicillium than Aspergillus. The fatty acid compositions were changed depending on the incubation temperature, but hardly showed a certain tendency except linoleic acid and degree of unsaturation that were higher at lower temperature.
