Effect of temperature($22-32^{\circ}C$), pH(5-7) and medium composition on the mycelial growth for the submerged culture of Inonotus obliquus. The concentrations of glucose, starch, peptone, yeast extract, $K_2HPO_4$, $MgSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O$ and $CaCl_2$ were examined in the ranges of 30-120 g/L, 0-10 g/L, 0-20 g/L, 0-15 g/L, 0-2 g/L, 0-1.5 g/L and 0-0.5g/L, respectively. The maximum mycelial growth of Inonotus obliquus was obtained for $26-27^{\circ}C$ and pH 6. The concentrations of glucose, yeast extract and $CaCl_2$, which gave the maximum mycelial growth of Inonotus obliquus, were 70 g/L, 5 g/L and 0.1 g/L, respectively. In the cases of starch, peptone and $K_2HPO_4$, the mycelial growth of Inonotus obliquus increased with increasing the concentrations. However, as the concentration of $MgSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O$ increased, the mycelial growth of Inonotus obliquus decreased. The medium for maximum mycelial growth of Inonotus obliquus consisted of (per 1 L): glucose, 70 g; peptone, 5-20 g; starch, 10 g; yeast extract, 5 g; $K_2HPO_4$, 2 g and $CaCl_2$, 0.1 g.

The mutant with high productivity, X. malvacearum SNUF 560-6, was acquired from the X. malvacearum SNUF 560 with low productivity by UV-light irradiation. It was preserved is lyophilized stock culture and it was transferred to PDA slant to maintain viability fortnightly. Fermentations were started by retransfering to MY agar slant from PDA stok culture. The experiments for optimal xanthan gum production were studied in a chemically defined medium. Of the carbon and nitrogen sources tested, 0.4% sucrose medium and 10mM glutamic acid medium yielded the highest xanthan gun production respectively. The addition of 10g/l succinic acid stimulated xanthan gum production. Also 65mM $PO_4\;^{-3}\;(12.6g/l\;KH_2PO_4)$ was effective on xanthan gum production. Finally, medium 1 and medium 2 which have high xanthan gum production potencies were achieved in this stud. The components of medium 1 and medium 2 were as follows: Medium 1 : sucrose 40g/l glutamate 10mM $PO_4\;^{-3}\;54mM\;(KH_2PO_4\;12.65g/l)$ Citrate 2g/l $MgSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O\;0.2g/l$ $H_3BO_3\;0.005/l$ ZnO 0.006/l $FeCl_2{\cdot}6H_2O\;0.0024g/l$ $CaCO_3\;0.02g/l$ Medium 2 : $Sucrose\;40g/l\;(NH_4)_2SO_4\;2g/l$ $PO_4\;^{-3}\;65mM\;(KH_2PO_4\;12.65g/l)$ Succinate 10g/l $MgSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O\;0.02g/l$ $H_3BO_3\;0.06g/l$ ZnO 0.006g/l $FeCl_2{\cdot}6H_2O\;0.0024g/l$ $CaCO_3\;0.02g/l$.

The biosynthesis of lovastatin, a cholesterol lowering agent formed by the filamentous fungus Aspergillus terreus, was examined in a 2.5 L jar fermenter. In batch bioreactor cultures conducted at various agitation rates, 400 rpm showed the best result in terms of lovastatin production. Notably, the effect of pH on lovastatin biosynthesis was found to be significant: when the pH was controlled at around 5.8 during the whole fermentation period, lovastatin concentration reached 598 mg/L, which is much hihger than the amounts obtained by pH-uncontrolled and pH 7.4-controlled fermentations. In addition, both L-histidine and L-tryptophan were observed to be favorable amino acids for the enhancement of lovastatin production when 6 g/L of the respective amino acids were supplemented at the beginning of the fermentation period. By further optimization of the production media and the physical environment, lovastatin production was increased to 836 mg/L (3.5 mg/L/hr) which is approximately 10 times higher than the productivity of the basic control culture.

The complexation of cadmium(II) with a well characterized local soil fulvic acid was investigated at different solution pH and fulvic acid concentration using ion selective electrode. The stability constants were determined using a continuous distribution model based on Scatchard Plot; this model takes into consideration the diversitv of cation binding sites on a naturally occurring organic macromolecules even if the nature of the binding sites may not be known. The mean value of $logKi(\mu)$ was found to increase at higher pH(pH 4.0: ${\mu}=3.79{\pm}0.74$ l\;mol^{-1}; pH 6.0: ${\mu}=4.51{\pm}0.78$ l\;mol^{-1}$), and in more dilute fulvic acid concentration([FA] = 50 mgl$^{-1}: {\mu}=4.16{\pm}0.60$ l\;mol^{-1}; [FA]=151 mgl$^{-1}:{\mu}=3.75{\pm}0.5\;l\;mol^{-1}$). The intrinsic constant(logKint) for binding at the strongest site was measured to be around $4.72\;l\;mol^{-1}$ at both pH4.0 and 5.0, but was found to be increased to $6.03\;l\;mol^{-1}$ when pH was 6.0.

The present study was performed to investigate the effects of two groups of sires with 'medium' and 'high' weight gain potentials (M-sires and H-sires, respectively) on growth of their progenies on varying planes of nutrition during the growing-finishing period. The ADG of the M-sires' progeny was greater (P < 0.05) than that of the H-sires' progeny (0.51 vs. 0.47 kg) during a 26- to 29-d early grower phase beginning from 55 d of age, but the opposite was true (0.66 vs. 0.72 kg) during the latter grower phase. Overall grower-phase ADG was greatest on the high plane of nutrition (H plane) followed by the medium (M) and low (L) planes (0.65, 0.61, and 0.51 kg, respectively; P < 0.05) in the M-sires' progeny, whereas in the H-sires' progeny, ADG was greater on the H and M planes vs. L plane (0.63, 0.62, and 0.54 kg, respectively). The ADG of pigs on the M or H plane during the grower phase and switched to the H plane thereafter (M-to-H or H-to-H planes) was greater than that of pigs on the L-to-L planes (0.99 vs. 0.78 kg) during the early finisher phase in the M-sires' progeny (P < 0.01). However, in the H-sires' progeny, ADG of pigs on the L-to-L planes did not differ from that of pigs on the M-to-M or H-to-M planes (0.94 vs. 0.96 kg). Results suggest that the H-to-H or H-to-M planes and M-to-M or M-to-L planes are optimal for maximal growth of the M- and H-sires' progenies, respectively.

The concentrations of quinolones (oxolinic acid; OXA, norlloxacin: NRF & ciprofloxacin: CPF) after oral administration of single doses (20 mg/kg B.W.) were investigated in carp (Cyprinus carpio) kept in freshwater at 20-23$^{\circ}C$. The distribution of the drug was studied after treatment. At points timed, from 1 h to 96 hrs after administration, blood (B), liver (L), kidney (K) and muscle (M) from 5 individuals in each group were collected for analyse with microbiological bioassay method. The peak concentrations were measured at 8 h (L), 12 h (B and K) and 24 h (M) after administration regardless of treated drugs. Considerably high concentrations of CPF (13.8-19.6${\mu}g/m{\ell}$) NRF (11.8-16.9${\mu}g/m{\ell}$) and OXA (10.8-13.9 ${\mu}g/m{\ell}$) were revealed during the 24 h. At the last time point of the experiment (96 h), concentrations of all three quinolones were: OXA, 2.3-6.3 ${\mu}g/m{\ell}$ ; NRF, 3.1-4.5 ${\mu}g/m{\ell}$ ; CPF, 3.0-5.5${\mu}g/m{\ell}$ in samples. The concentrations decreased subsequently, indicating a first rapid redistribution, followed by a slow phase of elimination. The steady state was observed in blood (12-36 h), liver (12-96 h) and muscle (36-96 h) after the initiation of treatment with OXA. Concerning the compartmental concentrations, (L, K. and M/B concentration ratio), the fluctuation of the ratio was founded at different time points, among drugs. For CPF, highest tissue ratios were prolonged in the order of L>K>M (0.65-1.2/0.82-0.93/1.0-1.7) during the experiments. On the other hand, NRF presented L>K>M (0.65-1.3/0.86-1.0) till 24 h, but L>M>K (0.89-1.26) at 36-96 h. OXA showed L>K>M (0.95-2.1) at 1-8 h, M>K>L (0.51-1.0) at 12-36 hand M>L>K (1.0-2.3) at 48-96 h, respectively.

In this study, culture conditions were optimized to confirm the feasibility of Acetobacter pasteurianus as a starter for fermentation vinegar. Acetobacter pasteurianus strain can be used as a food ingredient. The optimal temperature and pH conditions of the selected Acetobacter pasteurianus SRCM101388 were 28℃ and pH 6.00, respectively. The response surface methodology (RSM) was used to optimize the composition of the medium, and Plackett-Burman design (PBD) was used to obtain the effective selection of culture medium, resulting in that glucose, sucrose, and yeast extract had the highest effect on increasing biomass. The optimal concentration, which was performed by central composite design (CCD), were determined to be 10.73 g/L of glucose, 3.98 g/L of sucrose, and 18.73 g/L of yeast extract, respectively. The optimal concentrations of trace elements for the production of biomass were found to be 1 g/L of ammonium sulfate, 0.5 g/L of magnesium sulfate, 2 g/L of sodium phosphate monobasic, 2 g/L of sodium phosphate dibasic, and the final optimized medium was pH 6.10. When incubated in a 5 L jar fermenter, the SRCM101388 strain showed a faster-dissolved oxygen (DO) reduction at a lower agitation rate (rpm), and it was able to grow even at reduced DO level when aeration was maintained. The amount of final biomass produced was 2.53±0.12×10⁹ CFU/mL (9.40±0.02 log CFU/mL) when incubated for 18 hours at 150 rpm, 0.5 vvm, pH 6.0, and 28℃.

Transgenic tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L. cv Bright Yellow-2) cell lines expressing a human histone H1.5 (referred to as hH1.5), which suppress collagen-induced rheumatoid arthritis, were developed under the oxidative stress-inducible peroxidase (SWPA2) promoter. Tobacco BY-2 cells were transformed by Agrobacterium-mediated method. The kanamycin-resistant calli were selected on the modified MS medium containing 150mg/L kanamycin and 300mg/L claforan. Transgenic cell lines were confirmed by PCR and northern blot analysis. Recombinant hH1.5 (rhH1.5) protein (42 kDa) was also detected by Western blot analysis, showing a different molecular weight of human hH1.5 (32 kDa). These results suggested that a hH1.5 gene was properly introduced in tobacco cultured cells under the control of SWPA2 promoter. The further characterization of rhH1.5 protein remains to be studied.
