The useful fungi which secret extracellular enzymes was selected for deinking agent of old newsprint. Five fungal strains were isolated from a paper mill soil ground. The CMCase, FPase and xylanase activities of fungi on the liquid culture were investigated at optimal growth conditions. The results of this study were as follow: The optimal pH and temperature for culture growth were 4～8 and 27～$35^{\circ}C$, respectively. For screening of extracellular enzymes at optimal culture conditions the optimal culture period were less than 6-7 days. Fusarium pallidoroseum and Aspergiilus niger which shows relatively higher CMCase, FPase and xylanase activities than the other species were selected for further enzymatic deinking research.

In the present work we described oxidative cyclisation of peracetylated lactosyl carbamides with N-phenyl-S-chloro isothiocarbamoyl chloride and structural elucidation of novel peracetylated N-Lactosyl-1,2,4-Thiadiazolidin-3-one hydrochlorides. Antimicrobial activities of the title compounds were determined against bacteria S. aureus, E. coli, P. Vulgaris, P. Aeruginosa and fungi A. Niger, Penicillium.

The morphology of fungal growth, which is an important variable for separability and rheological property of fermented medium, was quantified with fractal geometry Fractal dimensions were determined for submerged growth of two industrially important fungi, Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus oruzae. The tendency of pellet formation was related to the fractal dimension of fungi.

1,2,4-Triazoles, pyrazolones and 1,3,4-oxadiazoles have been synthesized from substituted hydrazide using various solid supports under microwave irradiation (MWI). The results obtained highlight the versatility of the solid supports. All synthesized compounds were screened for their antifungal activity against A. niger and A. flavus and were found to possess good activity.

The biodegradable characteristics of poly-$\beta$-hydroxybutyrate(PHB) film by fun맥 and soil burial are Investigated. As the results of the American Standards for Testing and Materials(ASTM) method, the you of Aspergillus niger was apparent on the PHB containing plate. This suggests that PHB was utilized as the sole carbon source by Aspergillus niger and ASTM method may have applications as measuring means of biome gradability of polyhydroxyalkanoic acid(PHA). PHB film was studied by monitoring the time-dependant changes in weight loss of PHB film under 30% and relative humidity 80 % during pot-test. As the results of pot-test, PHB film was decomposed about 87 % in 30 days by soul microorganisms. PHB film was more slowly degraded than PHB/HV film.

Heat treated whole cell of Aspergillus niger containing glucose oxidase-catalase system was entrapped in gelatin matrix crosslinked by glutaral-dehyde. The reaction characteristics of immobilized enzyme was studied in a fludized reactor. Heat treatment enhanced the stability and improved the properties of micellium for the immobilized process. The immobilized enzyme system showed the maximum activity at $35^{\circ}C$ and at pH 5.5. The optimum substrate concentration was 0.04M glucose. The activity of immobilized glucose oxidase was in proportion to the concentration of dissolved oxygen in reaction mixture as other reaction conditions were fixed. It was also demonstrated that the limiting factor for the activity of the immobilized glucose oxidase was the oxygen diffusion resistance which increases proportionally to the glucose concentration.

The growth and bioconversion potential of selected strains growing on cassava waste substrate during solid state fermentation were assessed. Rhizopus stolonifer showed the highest and the fastest utilization of starch and cellulose in the cassava waste substrate. It showed 70% starch utilization and 81% cellulose utilization within eight days. The release of reducing sugars indicating the substrate saccharification or degradation potential of the organisms reached the highest value of 406.5 mg/g by R. stolonifer on cassava waste during the eighth day of fermentation. The protein content was gradually increased (89.4 mg/g) on the eighth day of fermentation in cassava waste by R. stolonifer. The cellulase and amylase activity is higher in R. stolonifer than A. niger and P. chrysosporium. The molecular mass of purified amylase and cellulase seemed to be 75 KDal, 85 KDal respectively.

Eleven fungal strains previously isolated from the Mexican desert were evaluated for their capacity to use catechin as carbon source in submerged cultures. At 2 g/l of catechin, all strains grew better than the control strains, Aspergillus niger Aa-20. Aspergillus niger PSH and Penicillium commune EH2 degraded 79.33％ and 76.35％ with degradation rates of 0.0065 and 0.0074 g/l/h, respectively, when an initial catechin concentration of 3 g/l was used. Obtained results demonstrated the potential biotechnological capacity of these fungal strains to use condensed tannins as carbon source.

The solubilizations of Australian lignite by the fungus Poria cocos, Trichodermareesei, Candide tropicalis, and niger were investigated. Three different types of chemical pretreatment methods were used for increasing biosolubility of lignite. Nitric acid and hydrogen peroxide were proven to be proper chemical pretreatment materials of Australian lignite. Poria cocos showed much better solubilization ability than other strains. Interpretation of the nature of coal solubilization by Poria cocos was based primarily on infrared, ultraviolet and nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum analyses.
