The leachate recirculation anaerobic digestion system has the advantage of stable methane gas generation compared with existing one phase systems. In this study, an anaerobic digestion system fed with source separated food waste from school cafeteria was studied with different food waste/inoculum anaerobic sludge volume ratios (8:2, 3:7, 2:8). From this study, leachate recirculation anaerobic reactor with food waste/inoculum anaerobic sludge volume ratio of 2:8 that is 9 gVS/L of OLR(Organic Loading Rate) had the highest gas production. Also this anaerobic reactor showed daily decrease of H2S and NH3 contents in produced gas. Average biogas yield was 1.395 m3 Biogas/kg VS added. Other anaerobic reactors with food waste/inoculum anaerobic sludge volume ratio of 8:2 and 3:7 stopped methane gas production.

Number and percentage of diseased area of leaf blast lesions formed on different leaf location were mostly distributed from the flag leaf(n-1) to the 3rd leaf from the top(n-3) in Tongil line rice varieties and on the 2nd leaf from the top(n-2) in Japonica type rice varieties. Especially leaf lesions of Nopung which was more susceptible to leaf blast among Ton1 line rice varieties were mostly distributed on flag leaf. Relation between the degree of lesion distribution and level of fertilizer was more clear with an increase of fertilizer quantity. Leaf blast lesions of rice varieties were generally distributed from the flag leaf to the with leaf from the top but mainly those at flag leaf and the 2nd leaf from the top were found to be most responsible for inoculum source of panicle blast after booting stage. Increase of the conidia formation was resulted from fluctuation of temperature$(24^{\circ}C\~16^{\circ}C)$ in low temperature range after booting stage and many inoculum sources were supplied on panicles until the end of September without impeding dispersal from leaf blast lesions as an inoculum source of panicle blast.

This study was performed to investigate the inhibiting activity of etridiazole and thiophanate-mthyl on mycelial growth of Rhizoctonia solani and Pythium ultimum and the effect of inoculum density of each pathogen on the control efficacy of the mixture of etridiazole and thiophanate-methyl in a seedling assay test. In mycelial growth inhibition test, $EC_{50}$ values of etridiazole and thiophanate-methyl against R. solani were 15.87 and 9.34 ${\mu}g\;mL^{-1}$, while those were 0.2 and more than $500\;{\mu}g\;mL^{-1}$ against P. ultimum, respectively. Controlling activity of the mixture of etridiazole and thiophanate-methyl against damping-off of pepper and cucumber, caused by R. solani and P. ultimum was tested in a greenhouse. With the inoculation of R. solani, disease incidences of seedling in pepper were 73% and 95% at 0.5% and 1.0% of inoculum concentration, while in cucumber those were 55% and 62% at 1.0% and 2.0%. When P. ultimum was inoculated into soil by 2.0% of inoculum concentration, those in pepper and cucumber were 66.7% and 96.8%, respectively. The efficacy of the mixture was somehow affected by the concentration of R. solani. While each control value of the mixture was 94.4% and 90.7% in pepper and cucumber at low inoculum concentration (0.05%), the efficacy of the fungicide decreased in pepper and cucumber by 70.7% and 72.9% at high concentration of R. solani (0.1% in pepper and 0.5% in cucumber). However, the control value of the mixture was 100% in pepper and cucumber, irrespective of the inoculum concentration of P. ultimum, however, the increase of inoculum concentration in soil did not result in the decrease of the fungicide efficacy.

The experiment investigated the possibility of using effluent from RUSITEC (rumen simulation technique) inoculated with rumen liquor or cow faeces as sources of micro-organisms for in vitro digestion of forages. Nine forages ${\times}3$ sources of inoculum were used in a factorial arrangement of treatments. Rumen liquor was collected from fistulated sheep and faeces was collected from cows. The RUSITEC apparatus consisted of 4 vessels, 2 vessels were charged with faecal liquor and 2 with rumen liquor. On the 8th day of the experiment RUSITEC effluent were collected to use in in vitro studies. In vitro OMD (g/kg) values using three sources of inoculum (fresh rumen liquor, RUSITEC effluent from rumen liquor or cow faeces) were statistically significant (p < 0.001). The regression relationships between OMD using fresh rumen liquor and RUSITEC effluent were highly significant ($R^2>0.90$). The results suggest that RUSITEC effluent either from rumen liquor or cow faeces can be used as a source of micro-organisms for in vitro digestion of forages.

Studies were conducted on the effect of pruning time, host age, conidial dispersal and weather parameters on the incidence and severity of mulberry leaf spot (Myrothecium roridum). The disease severity (%) increased with increase in shoot age irrespective of pruning date. Maximum disease severity was observed in plants pruned during first week of April and minimum disease severity in plants pruned during first week of March. Significant (P ＜ 0.01) influence of date of pruning, shoot age and their interaction was observed on severity of the disease. Apparent infection rate (r) was significantly higher during the plant growth period from day 48 to day 55. Average apparent yale was higher in plants pruned during first week of April and least in plants pruned during first week of July. The disease infection was negatively correlated to distance from the inoculum source. Leaf spot severity (%) was influenced by weather parameters. Multiple regression analysis revealed contribution of various combinations of weather parameters on the disease severity. Linear prediction model $(Y ＝ －81.803＋1.176x_2＋0.765x_3) with significant $R^2$ was developed for prediction of the disease under natural epiphytotic condition.

High-level yeast inocula was investigated as a means of overcoming the inhibition problem in ethanol fermentation of hemicellulose hydrolyzate. When the inoculum exceeded 25g dry cells/liter, the fermentation proceeded completely to the end within 24 hours. Furfural was taken up by Pachysolen tannophilus and catabolized to furfuryl alcohol. Thus inhibitory effect of furfural component was less adverse toward ethanol production than that of non-furfural components in hemicellulose hydrolyzate. The specific ethanol productivity in the fermentation of hemicellulose hydrolyzate was 14% of that of simulated media containing 41.8g xylose and 2.3g furfural per liter.

Hairy root cultures have demonstrated great promise in terms of their biosynthetic capability toward the production of secondary metabolites, but continue to constitute a major challenge with regard to large-scale cultures. In order to assess the possibility of conducting mass production of biomass, and the extraction of useful metabolites from Panax ginseng. P. ginseng hairy roots, transformed by Rhizobium rhizogenes KCTC 2744, were used in bioreactors of different types and sizes. The most effective mass production of hairy roots was achieved in several differently Sized air bubble bioreactors compared to all other bioreactor types. Hairy root growth was enhanced by aeration, and the production increased with increasing aeration rate in a 1 L bioreactor culture. It was determined that the hairy root growth rate could be substantially enhanced by increases in the aeration rate upto 0.5vvm, but at aeration rates above 0.5vvm, only slight promotions in growth rates were observed. In 20 L air bubble bioreactors, with a variety of inoculum sizes, the hairy roots exhibited the most robust growth rates with an inoculum size of 0.1% (w/v), within the range 0.1 to 0.7% (w/v). The specific growth rates of the hairy root decreased with increases in the inoculum size.

Conditions of fermentation for the production of demethyltetracycline were examined using the mutant, which was obtained through the cell fusion of demeclocycline producing strains, The optimum temperature and the initial pH of broth for demethyltetracycline fermentation were $25^{\circ}C$ and 6.7, respectively. Unlike any other cases, the control of pH with alkali solution during the fermentation process affected the productivity. As a general rule, the larger the inoculum size the higher the early consumption of sugar and the viscosity of broth, which means that fermentation proceeds more rapidly as the inoculum size is increased. The highest productivity was shown when the inoculum size was 5% (v/v), and the phase of seed also influenced the fermentation. Among the parameters of pre-culture thus examined, pH was the most important factor.

세계적으로 가장 널리 사용되는 제초제의 하나인 EPTC(s-ethyl-N,N'- dipropylthiocarbamate)에 대하여, 이를 분해하는 미생물의 토양 내에서의 직접 증식과 이를 함유한 토양(INOCULUM)의 토양내 EPTC 분해촉진을 위한 접종재(inoculant)로서의 효용성을 조사하였다. 한 차례의 EPTC(20mg EPTC/kg 토양)처리에 의해, 순수분리 없이 토양 내에서, EPTC-분해 미생물의 수가 $10^2$ 수준에서 $10^5$ 수준으로 약 $10^3$배 증식되었으며, EPTC 분해속도 또한, 토양으로부터 추출 가능한 EPTC가 초기 EPTC농도(20mg EPTC/kg 토양)의 20%까지 떨어지는데 걸리는 시간을 기준으로 할 때, EPTC처리 전의 20여 일에서 EPTC 처리 후에는 1일 이내로 빨라졌고, 이 토양의 EPTC 분해능력은 토양내의 EPTC 초기농도가 토양 kg당 2,000mg일 때까지도 크게 저해되지 않았다. 이 토양(INOCULUM)을 EPTC로 오염된 토양에 접종(0.05-5%, w/w)하였을 때, 오염된 토양 내에서의 EPTC 분해속도가 크게 향상되었다. 이 토양의 EPTC 분해능력은, 저온($10^{\circ}C$ 이하)의 습한 상태(수분함량 25%)에 보관하였을 때, 최소 6개월간 유지되었다. 본 연구는 EPTC-분해 미생물이 토양 내에서 쉽게 증식됨과, 이를 함유하는 토양(INOCULUM)이 토양내의 EPTC 분해 촉진을 위한 접종재로서 매우 효과적임을 확인하였고, 이 같은 방법은 다른 화합물과 그에 오염된 토양에도 적용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
