Kluyveromyces marxianus var. marxianus isolated as an inulin-assimilating microorganism produces inulin fructotransferase (inulaseII) which catalyses the conversion of inulin into di-D-fructofuranose 1, 2' : 2, 3' dianhydrde (DFAIII). The DFA produced by the organism was isolated by using active carbon column, and identified as DFAIII by high performance liguid chromatography. The culture medium giving maximum inulaseII production was found to consist of 1% sucrose and 0.75% yeast nitrogen base (YNB). The inulasell production was induced by inulin or sucrose as a carbon source and increased by addition of YNB as a nitrogen source. Optimal initial pH of the culture medium, culture temperature and medium volume for the enzyme production were pH 4.7, 30$\circ$C and 140 ml, respectively. Under the optimal conditions described above, the enzyme activity in the culture supematant reached 4.2 units/ml after cultivation for 36 h. The DFAIII was accumulated at 13.25 mg/ml after 48 h of culture in the Jerusalem artichoke tuber medium.

For the probiotic feed production, aerobic liquid fermentation of pulverized food wastes was attempted with a yeast Kluyveromyces marxianus. After grinding finely, optimal fermentation conditions of the substrate was investigated by shaking culture. The most active growth of the yeast was shown at solid content of 10%. The proper addition of urea(0.5g/l), o-phosphate(0.4g/l), molasses(4g/l), and yeast extract (1g/1) increased cell growth rate and viable cell count. For optimizing, the nutrients were all added to substrate and fermentation was carried in 2 litre jar fermenter. For the stimulation of hydrolyzing enzyme excretion, mixed culture with Aspersillus oryzae was also conducted. In 12 hours of fermentation, viable cell count of the yeast Kluyveromyces marxianus amounted to the number of 1.4 $\times$10$^{10}$ /1 in the culture medium.

Kluyveromyces marxianus is a well-known thermotolerant yeast. Although Saccharomyces cerevisiae is the most commonly used yeast species for ethanol production, the thermotolerant K. marxianus is more suitable for simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) processes. This is because enzymatic saccharification usually requires a higher temperature than that needed for the optimum growth of S. cerevisiae. In this study, we compared the fermentation patterns of S. cerevisiae and K. marxianus under various temperatures of fermentation. The results show that at a fermentation temperature of $45^{\circ}C$, K. marxianus exhibited more than two fold higher growth rate and ethanol production rate in comparison to S. cerevisiae. For SSF using starch or corn stover as the sole carbon source by K. marxianus, the high temperature ($45^{\circ}C$) fermentations showed higher enzymatic activities and ethanol production compared to SSF at $30^{\circ}C$. These results demonstrate the potential of the thermotolerant yeast K. marxianus for SSF in the industrial production of biofuels.

최근 모균주인 K. marxianus ATCC 36907 보다 xylose reductase의 활성이 증대된 돌연변이 K. marxianus 36907-FMEL1 균주를 개발하였다. 본 연구에서는 효율적인 xylitol의 생산을 위해 발효기를 이용하여 교반속도에 따른 효과를 확인하였다. $30^{\circ}C$ 조건에서 발효를 진행한 결과 K. marxianus 36907-FMEL1 균주는 400 rpm의 교반속도에서 가장 높은 수율 (0.57 g/g)과 생산성($0.64g{\cdot}l^{-1}{\cdot}h^{-1}$)을 확인할 수 있었다. 흥미롭게도 온도 조건을 $40^{\circ}C$로 증가하여 발효를 진행한 결과 agitation 조건 최적화를 통해 수율과 생산성이 각각 21% (0.64 g/g)와 58% ($0.90g{\cdot}l^{-1}{\cdot}h^{-1}$) 증가하였다.

To produce ethanol from Jerusalem artichoke powder efficiently, Kluyveromyces marxianus F043 cells were encapsulated in 2% sodium alginate and were cultured in a countinuous reactor to investigate the fermentation properties. Immobilized K. marxianus F043 cells were activated for 48 hours in a fermentor for continuous ethanol production. The culture in a CSTR using a Jerusalem artichoke substrate treated with 2% cellulase showed a decrease in ethanol concentration and an increase in residual saccharide concentration with a increasing dilution rate. Optimum conditions for high ethanol productivity and low residual saccharide output were clarified to be given at a dilution rate of 0.2 h$^{-1}$ and a Jerusalem artichoke medium concentration of 75 g/l. Ethanol productivity of 3.1 g/l-h and saccharide utilization of 62.6% were obtained under the optimum condition. When the fermentation was performed for 3 weeks under these conditions, the effluent medium showed stable ethanol concentrations of 16.3 - 17.9 g/l and viable cells of 6.60-7.16 log cells/ml without contamination. Trace amounts of methyl, n-propyl, iso-butyl, isoamyl alcohols besides ethanol were detected.

To develop thermostable ethanol fermentative yeast strain for lignocellulosic simultaneous saccharification and fermentation, high ethanol producing yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae CHY1012 and thermostable yeast, Kluyveromyces marxianus CHY1703 were fused by protoplast fusion. The thermostable fusant, CHY1612 was identified as a Kluyveromyces marxianus by phenotypic and physiological characteristics, as well as molecular analysis based on the D1/D2 domains of the large subunit (26S) rDNA gene and the internally transcribed spacer (ITS) 1 + 2 regions. For lignocellulosic ethanol production, AFEX pretreated barley straw at $150^{\circ}C$ for 90 min was used in a simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) process using thermotolerant CHY1612. The SSF from 16% pretreated barley straw at $43^{\circ}C$ gave a saccharification ratio of 90.5%, a final ethanol concentration of 38.5 g/L, and a theoretical yield of 91.2%. These results show that K. marxianus CHY1612 has potential for lignocellulosic ethanol production through simultaneous saccharification and fermentation with further development of process.

The Strain TFM-7, Which has an antitumor effect, was isolated from Kefir and identified based on analysis using the API 50 CHL kit and 265 rDNA sequencing. Strain TFM-7 was confirmed to belong to the genus Kluyveromyces. Analysis of the 265 rDNA nucleotide sequences found strain TFM-7 to be related to Kluyveromyces marxianus. NRRL Y-828IT. K. marxianus. TFM-7 was cultured with potato dektrose broth medium at $27^{\circ}C$ for 72 hr, and its inhibition effects on the proliferation of seven tumor cell lines and a normal cell line were assessed using the MTT assay. The antitumor effects and growth characteristics of K. marxianus TFM-7 were investigated during a culture period of 7 days. By the $3^{rd}\;day$, K. marxianus TFM-7 showed a dry cell weight 2.39 g/L, a pH of 4.39, an ethanol content of 0.89%, and an inhibition effect on the proliferation of seven tumor cell lines above 50%, except for A-549 tumor cell line. K. marxianus TFM-7 was the most effective at inhibiting the growth of Hep-2 cell line among all tumor cell lines tested. Growth inhibition of a normal cell line, NIH/3T3, was less than 35%, suggesting a decreased level of cytotoxicity toward normal cells. These results indicate that K. marxianus TFM-7 may have used as a yeast strain with antitumor activity.

돼지감자 분말을 원료로 alginate에 고정화된 Kluyveromyces marxianus FO43의 에탄올 생산성을 향상시키기 위한 연구를 수행하였다. 15% 돼지감자 배지에서 발효시킨 고정화 효모에 의한 에탄올 농도와 이론치에 대한 에탄올 수율은 4일 후에 각각 3.38%(w/v), 54.20%로 이것은 고정화하지 않은 효모의 3.76%(w/v), 71.13% 보다 낮았다. Cellulase의 첨가는 $15{\sim}20%$ 돼지감자 배지의 점조성을 크게 낮추어 고정화 효모의 에탄올 생산성을 증가시켰다. 그리하여 20% 배지에서도 효소를 처리하여 고정화 효모를 4일 발효 시키면 에탄올 농도를 5.57%(w/v), 이론치에 대한 에탄올 수율을 68.86%까지 얻을 수 있었다. Repeated batch culture를 실시한 결과 bead의 활성이 22일 동안 저하되지 않고 유지되었다.
