Alcoholic distillery waste was utilized as dual purposes to produce citric acid and to reduce the amount of waste to be treated. Enzyme and acid hydrolysis of this waste were studied to suggest effective way of present purpose. Enzymatic hydrolysis of this naked barley alcoholic distillery waste by $\alpha$-and $\beta$-amylase gave glucose as 8g/l concentration at $55^{\circ}C$ for 6 hours, which produced 1g/l citric acid and 5.33g/l mycelial. This waste material hydrolyzed with 25% HCl at $120^{\circ}C$ showed 21.5g/l glucose and produced 1.75g/l citric acid with 4.9g/1 mycelial. The glucose concentration was decreased to 3.44g/l by further 2nd acid hydrolysis because the monosugars were decomposed at prolonged hydrolysis conditions. The addition of 3g/l $NH_4NO_3$ increased the mycelial growth but reduced the amount of citric acid formed. The formation of citric acid was increased at low concentration of manganese ion.

This study was peformed to investigate the effects of Lycii fructus extracts on the growth and physiology of S. cerevisae D7l, L. casei KCTC 3165, and E. coli DH5. When Lycii fructus was added into solid culture media, the growth of S. cerevisea D7l and L. casei KCTC 3165 was increased, whereas that of E. coli DH5 was somewhat decreased. The growth of S. cerevisiea D7l and L. casei KCTC 3165 were much promoted in the culture media including methanol extract of 1.0% and 1.5%, respectively. E. coli DH5 was changed its morphology not only in 10% Lycii fructus juice but also 1.0% methanol and chloroform extract of Lycii fructus. Its size in those growth condition was eight times longer than that of the normal E. coli DH5. It was elucidated that elongation phenomenan of E. coli DH5 was also appeared by adding 0.135% of Na$^{+}$, $K^{+}$, and the mixture of Na$^{+}$ and $K^{+}$.TEX> +/.

The flavonoid biosynthetic pathway has been studied as a genetic model system, particularly in Petunia hybrida. In order to study the flavonoid biosynthetic pathway, we constructed a fusion gene system between Cauliflower Mosaic Virus (CaMV) 35S promoter and eggplant flavonoid 3', 5'-hydroxylase in pBI 121 plasmid. An optimal condition for plant regeneration was observed when internode explants were cultured on MS medium supplemented with IAA 0.2 mg/L plus BA 3 mg/L. For plant transformation internode explants of Petunia hybrida were precultured on BM medium supplemented with IAA 0.2 mg/L plus BA 3 mg/L. Putative transgenic plants were selected on medium containing kanamycin 50 mg/L plus cefotaxim 300 mg/L. Putative selected transformants were confirmed by amplification of selectable marker gene (nptII) by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and Southern hybridization of flavonoid 3',5'-hydroxylase gene.

Conditions for efficient organogenesis and plant regeneration from Dianthus gratianopol suspension cultured cells were established. Shoot-forming calli of glossy surface, pale green and knobby type were selected from leaf explant-derived calli and were suspension-subcultured every week in CP liquid medium with 1.0 mg/L 2,4-D and 0.5 mg/L BAP. Combinations of 1.0 mg/L 2,4-D and 0.5 mg/L BAP, and 1.5 mg/L 2,4-D and 0.5 mg/L BAP were effective for the induction of regenerative callus from the suspension cultured cell clusters. Multiple shoot primordia were initiated from the green spots of these regenerative callus and formed shoots on MS medium with 1.0 mg/L TDZ and 0.5 mg/L PAA. Shoot regeneration frequency (calli regenerating at least one shoot) was about 87%. For plant regeneration, proliferated shoots were excised and transferred to MS medium with 0.1 mg/L NAA for root initiation after 9 weeks of culture. The regenerants were potted in soil and formed the flowering buds and petals. Also, adventitious shoots were formed from the excised green shoot primordia of regenerative callus and these shoots proliferated successfully and regenerated to whole plants.

This study was carried out to find the effects of plant growth regulators on callus formation, rooting and shooting from cotyledon explant in oriental me]on. Various combinations of 0.1 mg/L auxins (IAA, NAA) and 0.5, 1.0. 1.5, 2.0 mg/L cytokinins (BA, kinetin, zeatin) were treated to the MS basal medium, respectively. Callus was induced mort effectively as 2,437.0 mg (FW)/explant in MS medium supplemented with 0.1 mg/L NAA and 2.0 mg/L BA, but that was non-embryogenic callus as colored yellow white and broke easily. Root was induced most effectively at a frequency of 98.0% in MS medium supplemented with 0.1 mg/L NAA and 0-5 mg/L kinetin. Shoots formed on cut part of vein at a frequency of 98.0% in MS medium supplemented with 0.1 mg/L IAA and 2.0 mg/L BA, that were multiple shoots. in case of its concentration, BA and lower concentration of IAA and NAA (0.01 and 0.05 mg/L). respectively. shooting ratio was not increased. The result of treatment with BA 0-5 mg/L and IAA 0.1 mg/L, callus induced at a week, and shoot start to form multiple shoots about 3 weeks after inoculation. After 2 times subculture as 2 weeks intervals, divided shoots rooted and developed into intact plantlets at 10 weeks and then that grown normally on pots after acclimatization.

Chicken spermatozoa have the ability to survive in low-temperature environments; however, the effects of low temperature on sperm motility and acrosome damage have not been studied in detail. The present study investigated semen longevity following dilution of rooster semen with Beltsville Poultry Semen Extender (BPSE) and Lake extender in preservation vessels (1.5 mL e-tube and 0.5 mL straw). Spermatozoa motility in the closed-type vessel (0.5 mL straw) was higher than that in the 1.5 mL e-tube on day 3 of preservation (68.6±3.1% vs. 22.1±5.7%). The motility of rooster semen diluted with BPSE in 0.5 mL straw was also higher than that of the Lake extender on day 3 of preservation (57.7±5.6% vs. 37.7±5.4%). Furthermore, acrosome intactness was higher in 0.5 mL straw than in the 1.5 mL e-tube, and the rate of acrosome cap damage increased with preservation days. The present study demonstrates that a closed 0.5-mL straw vessel could be used for low-temperature semen preservation, with an increased motility rate and acrosome integrity in fresh rooster semen.

Consistent with a previous study on the brown planthopper Nilaparvata lugens (BPH) (Seo et al., 2009), we identified seven distinct EPG waveforms (np, L1, L2, L3, L4-a, L4-b, and L5) in adult female Laodelphax striatellus (SBPH) that fed on rice plants, by using the direct current electrical penetration graph (DC-EPG) system. The shape of waveforms and the pattern of occurrence of each waveform of SBPH were very similar to those of BPH. L3 and L4-a always occurred prior to L4-b. Periodical honeydew excretion was observed in L4-b only. Microsection observation following laser stylectomy revealed that the tips of SBPH stylets severed in L3, L4-a, and L4-b were commonly located in or near the phloem region of rice plants, but were located in the xylem in L5. Plant sap flowed from the stylets severed in L4-b only, and its main carbohydrate component was detected as sucrose by HPLC analysis. These results and the patterns of EPG waveform progress in SBPH suggested that feeding activities on rice plant tissue were relevant to each EPG waveform. L1 and L2 corresponded to the initiation of stylet penetration and stylet movement with salivation on the outside of the vascular bundle. L3 and L4-a were related to feeding activities within the phloem region in preparation for phloem sap ingestion. L4-b was closely associated with phloem sap ingestion, and L5 corresponded to xylem feeding behavior.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of TDZ (thidiazuron) treatment on Propagation in vivo through scale cultures of Narcissus pseudonarcissus. Scales with disk (5 to 7 m in size) were cultured on MS medium containing NAA, BA and TDZ. Bulbs and shoots were directly formed when scales were cultured on medium containing 5 mg/L NAA and 1 mg/L BA. In addition, combination of 3 mg/L NAA and 0.02 mg/L TDZ promoted effectively the direct formation of bulbs and shoots. The shoots were rooted when cultured on medium containing 5 mg/L NAA and 0.02 mg/L TDZ. non scales obtained from regenerates were cultured on medium containing 1.0 mg/L NAA and 0.5 mg/L TDZ, they gave rise to numerous bulbs and shoots . The overall results suggest that TDZ is an effective plant growth regulator in vitro propagation of N. pseudonarcissus.

This study was carried out to examine the effects of Lactobacillus spp. on performance and cecal microflora in broiler chicks. Eight diets consisting of basal diet(C), C+Lactobacillus crispatus BC7 (T2), C+Lactobacillus reuteri BC9 (T3), C+L.reuteri BC5+L.crispatus BC9 (T4), C+L. reuteri BC5 (T1)+L.reuteri BC9 (T5), C+L.crispatus BC7+L.reuteri BC9 (T6) and C+L.reuteri BC5+L.crispatus BC7+L.reuteri BC9 (T7), were fed to Ross male broiler chicks for 5 weeks. The level of supplemented Lactobacillus spp. was 107 cfu/g diet. Body weight and feed intake were measured every week, and cecal microfla was counted at 1 and 5 weeks for Lactobacillus and yeast. Body weight increased signigicantly in supplemental Lactobacillus treatments from 2 weeks of age (p<0.05). Chicks in T2, T5 and T5 of treatments were heavier than those of other treatments at 5 weeks of age(p<0.05). Viability was not different significantly. Feed intake and feed conversion also were not different, although feed conversion improved slightly in supplemental Lactobacillus treatments. Lactobacillus spp. of cecal content was increased in supplemental Lactobacillus treatments at 1 week, but no significance was found. The number of yeast in cecum was not different from that of supplemental Lactobacillus. In conclusion, Lactobacillus, L.crispatus BC7 and L.reuteri BC9 from broiler cecum could contribute to the increase in body weight with supplemented mono-or mixing of di-lactobacilli. The results indicate that Lactobacillus feeding can benefit to intestinal lactobacillus at early growing broiler.
