  • Cultural conditions for mass production of the antagonistic bacteria, Bacillus subtills CAP141 against pathogens causing major airborne diseases to apple trees, effects of temperature, pH, carbon and nitrogen source in the culture broth were investigated. The bacterial growth was most vigorous when the temperature and pH of the culture broth was 30~35$^{\circ}$C and 7, respectively. As for carbon source, dextrose was best followed in order by dextrose(monosaccharide) > sucrose(disaccharide) $\geq$ saccharose (market disaccharides) > starch (polysaccharieds). Among different sugars, bacterial growth was favored by in the order of brown, black and white supars, indicating that the bacterial growth might be promoted by the minor elements presented as impurities in the less purified sugars. As for nitrogen source, organic forms were better to bacterial growth than inorganic forms, that is polypeptone was best followed in order by soy sauce, soybeen milk and inorganic nitrogens. Differences in bacterial growth among different forms of inorganic nitrogen were negligible.

  • Improvement of L-asparate ${\beta}-decarboxylase$ production from Pseudomonas dacunhae ATCC 21192 was attempted by optimizing fermentation conditions. Optimum carbon and nitrogen sources for cell growth and enzyme production were determined. L-Glutamate (2%) was the most suitable carbon source, and D-glucose, D-glycerol and fumarate repressed enzyme production. Yeast extract (2%) was the most effective as nitrogen source. A slight change of pH to 6.5 from medium pH resulted in a meaningful increase in the production of enzyme. The production of the enzyme was highly improved by using 2% yeast extract and 2% L-glutamate in culture media. Maximum L-asparate ${\beta}-decarboxylase$ activity reached up to over 24 U/mL-broth by 15 h flask fermentation.

  • Erinacine which is produced from Hericium erinaceus mycelia is known as stimulating activity of nerve growth factor(NGF) synthesis. Thus. this work was concentrated on the maximum production of Hericium erinaceus mycelia. Media compositions were studied as the chemical conditions that affected cell growth. The modified media was ditermined from the results, including glucose 20g/L and yeast extract 10g/L.

  • We try to distribute air pollution sources at target area. The complex method is used to distribute air pollution sources. Most of people, However, want to simple indicator as standard for express air pollution source. In many area, air pollution is caused by different types of sources. The general type is point source, such as tall stack of power plants and oil refineries stacks. A second type is areal source, such as local industry and transportation. In this aspect, the ratio of sulfur dioxide to nitrogen oxides (RSN =SO$_2$/NOx)is an indicator of air pollution source. the role of this ratio is to show the characteristics at target area of the relationship the point and the areal source.

  • The effects of sucrose concentration and nitrogen source on shoot growth and in vitro formation of garlic (Allium sativum L. cv Seosan) bulblet were investigated in order to systematize propagation of high quality garlic through a shoot apical meristem culture. Shoot differentiation was not affected by sucrose concentration and nitrogen source, but plantlets which contain medium of NH$_4$- N or NH$_4$ + NO$_3$ were vigorous and healthy in .appearance. Shoot growth was vigorous in changeing of nitrogen source. The best quality of in vitro bulblets was obtained in culture on the medium containing 8% sucrose and NH$_4$ - N, and the formation of bulblet was more effective when plantlets were subjected to cold treatment before use. NH$_4$-N was a major factor for shoot growth and bulblet development, but NO$_3$-N was not and suppressed $K^{+}$absorption. The level of ethylene production was not affected by different nitrogen sources, however this production was enhanced in medium containing a higher concentration of sucrose.e.

  • Methylobacterium organophilum can use nitrogen in the form of ammonium ions ($($NH_4$)_2SO_4\;and\;NH_4Cl) and from nonammonium sources such as glycine, alanine, peptone, and yeast extract. When potassium was limited, significantly more PHB was produced when the ammonium ion was the nitrogen source rather than a nonammonium form. With ammonium, the amount of PHB produced was 0.50-0.53 g PHB/l or $52.0~53.2\%$ of the dry cell weight. If nitrogen was from a nonammonium source, the respective values were 0.04~0.06 g PHB/1 or $8.1~11.3\%$ of dry cell weight. When ammonium sulfate was the sole source of nitrogen under potassium-limited conditions, cell growth and PHB accumulation increased as the pH increased from 6.0 to 7.5. Cell growth and PHB amount at pH 7.5 were 2.50 g dry cell weight/1 and 1.40 g PHB/1, respectively.

  • The behavior of Penicillium camembertii and Geotrichum candidum growing in submerged pure cultures on simple (glutamate) or complex (peptones) substrates as nitrogen and carbon sources and lactate as a second carbon source was examined. Similar to the behavior previously recorded on a simple substrate (glutamate), a clear differentiation between the carbon source and the energy source was also shown on peptones and lactate during P. camembertii growth, since throughout growth, lactate was only dissimilated, viz., used for energy supply by oxidation into $CO_2$, whereas peptides and amino acids from peptones were used for carbon (and nitrogen) assimilation. Because of its deaminating activity, G candidum preferred peptides and amino acids to lactate as energy sources, in addition to being assimilated as carbon and nitrogen sources. From this, on peptones and lactate, G candidum grew faster than P. camembertii (0.19 and 0.08 g/l/h, respectively) by assimilating the most readily utilizable peptides and amino acids; however, owing to its lower proteolytic activity, the maximum biomass was lower than that of P. camembertii (3.7 and 5.5 g/l, respectively), for which continuous proteolysis and assimilation of peptides were shown.

  • This study applied a hydrogeological field survey and isotope investigation to identify source locations and delineate pathways of groundwater contamination by nitrogen compounds. The infiltration and recharge processes were analyzed with groundwater-level fluctuation data and oxygen-hydrogen stable isotope data. The groundwater flow pattern was investigated through groundwater flow modeling and spatial and temporal variation of oxygen isotope data. Based on the flow analysis and nitrogen isotope data, source types of nitrate contamination in groundwater are identified. Groundwater recharge largely occurs in spring and summer due to precipitation or irrigation water in rice fields. Based on oxygen isotope data and cross-correlation between precipitation and groundwater level changes, groundwater recharge was found to be mainly caused by irrigation in spring and by precipitation at other times. The groundwater flow velocity calculated by a time series of spatial correlations, 231 m/yr, is in good accordance with the linear velocity estimated from hydrogeologic data. Nitrate contamination sources are natural and fertilized soils as non-point sources, and septic and animal wastes as point sources. Seasonal loading and spatial distribution of nitrate sources are estimated by using oxygen and nitrogen isotopic data.

  • The methylotrophic yeast, Pichia pastoris, is known to be a potential host to offer many advantages for production of recombinant proteins. Fermentation parameters were optimized to enhance the heterologous ${\beta}$-galactosidase productivity with P. pastoris. Optimum concentration of methanol, used as inducer, was observed to be 8 g/L and the extent of repression of AOX1 promoter by glycerol was lower than by glucose. The degradation of the gene product ${\beta}$-galactosidase by protease was inhibited as the pH increased from 5 to 8 and the yeast extract(1%) as nitrogen source increased expression level 4 times higher compared to yeast nitrogen base(1%) as nitrogen source increased expression level 4 times higher compared to yeast nitrogen base(1%). Induction method, in which methanol is just added to fermentation medium without centrifugation, was found to be as much effective as the one with centrifugation.

  • The aim of this study was to evaluate on the removal effect of total nitrogen and posphorus in municipal wastewater by decreasing hydraulic retention time(HRT) from 6 hour to 4 hour on CNR process using influent as a Carbon Source. CNR(Cilium Nutrient Romoval) is the process combining $A^2$/O process with cilium media of H2L corporation. The removal efficiencies for BOD$_{5}$, T-N and T-P were 81.1%, 61.4%, 61.4%, respectively. The removal efficiency of nitrogen and posphorus were low by decreasing hydraulic retention time(HRT) from 6 hour to 4 hour on CNR process.s.
