The isolated strain, SC2-1 was Gram-positive, catalase positive, facultatively anaerobic, oxidase negative, motile and small rods. The strain utilized sucrose, dextrose, fructose, mannitol and maltose as a sole carbon and energy source and sodium chloride required for the bacteria growth. The radical scavenging activity of the culture supernatants was determined by DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) method. This bacterium was identified based on cellular fatty acids analysis and 16S rDNA sequencing then named Exiguobacterium sp. SC2-1. The optimum culture conditions for production of antioxidant were $25^{\circ}C,$ pH 7.8 and NaCl concentration were 4%. The modified optimal medium compositions were maltose 2.5% (w/v), yeast extract 1.5% (w/v) and $KH_2PO_4$ 0.05% (w/v). Free radical scavenging activity of under optimal culture conditions were 93%.

Ten yeast strains affecting doenjang flavor were isolated from soybean fermented foods (traditional meju and doenjang), among which Zygosaccharomyces sp. Y-2-5, showing excellent growth, glucose consumption, pH, and flavor production, was selected. Higher alcohols produced by Zygosaccharomyces sp. Y-2-5 related to flavor were 2-propanol, 1-propanol, 2-methyl-1-propanol, 1-butanol, and 3.3-dimethyl-2-butanol. Optimal culture conditions for Zygosaccharomyces sp. Y-2-5 were 10% (w/v) NaCl, pH 4.0, 3.0% (w/v) glucose concentration, and inoculation time day 0 or 15 doenjang fermentation.

The principal objective of this study was to determine the optimal liquid culture conditions in shake flasks for maximal sporulation of Beauveria bassiana. The optimal initial pH for the spore production of B. bassiana using Potato Dextrose Broth was 5.2. The screening in shake flasks of carbon and nitrogen sources resulted in the identification of an optimal medium based on 3% sucrose and 1% casamino acid, with a C : N ratio of 22 : 4. Using this medium, a production level of $5.65{\times}10^7$ spores per ml was obtained after 5 days of culture. Using 3% corn meal, 2% corn steep powder, and 2% rice bran, the maximum spore concentration of $8.54{\times}10^8$/ml was achieved 8 days after inoculation at $25^{\circ}C$ in a rotary shaking incubator operated at 200 rpm. This represents a yield gain of approximately 2.89 times that of pre-optimization.

The optimal culture conditions on bacteriocin producing of Lactobacillus sp. FF-3 isolated from Korean Dongchimi, were studied for enhancing its production with regard to environmental and nutritional factors. The optimal cultivation time, initial pH and temperature were 21 hours, pH 7.0 and 30∼37$^{\circ}C$ respectively. Optimal compositions of culture medium for bacteriocin production were glucose 3% as carbon source, tryptone 4% as nitrogen source, and manganese sulfate 0.005% as inorganic salt with other basal components. The maximum antimicrobial activity was 484 BU/mL under the optimal culture condition.

This study evaluated the effects of culture conditions, including carbon and nitrogen sources, L-monosodium glutamate (MSG), and initial pH, on gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) production by Lactobacillus brevis HYE1 isolated from kimchi, a Korean traditional fermented food. L. brevis HYE1 was screened by the production analysis of GABA and genetic analysis of the glutamate decarboxylase gene, resulting in 14.64 mM GABA after 48 h of cultivation in MRS medium containing 1% (w/v) MSG. In order to increase GABA production by L. brevis HYE1, the effects of carbon and nitrogen sources on GABA production were preliminarily investigated via one-factor-at-a-time optimization strategy. As the results, 2% maltose and 3% tryptone were determined to produce 17.93 mM GABA in modified MRS medium with 1% (w/v) MSG. In addition, the optimal MSG concentration and initial pH were determined to be 1% and 5.0, respectively, resulting in production of 18.97 mM GABA. Thereafter, response surface methodology (RSM) was applied to determine the optimal conditions of the above four factors. The results indicate that pH was the most significant factor for GABA production. The optimal culture conditions for maximum GABA production were also determined to be 2.14% (w/v) maltose, 4.01% (w/v) tryptone, 2.38% (w/v) MSG, and an initial pH of 4.74. In these conditions, GABA production by L. brevis HYE1 was predicted to be 21.44 mM using the RSM model. The experiment was performed under these optimized conditions, resulting in GABA production of 18.76 mM. These results show that the predicted and experimental values of GABA production are in good agreement.

For polyhydroxyalkanoic acid (PHA) production, several microorganisms were isolated from sewage sludge. One of them, GB-77 strain, was chosen from its PHB/HV copolymer production on only fructose without cosubstrate. The isolated strain GB-77 was identified as the genus Alcaligenes. Optimal temperature and pH for cell growth were 36C and 6.8. Optimal medium composition was 10 g/l of fructose and 5 g/l of polypeptone, 1 $\times$ 10$^{-2}$M Na$^{2}$HP0$^{4}$, 1.3 $\times$ 10$^{-2}$M KH$^{2}$PO$^{4}$. To investigate the optimal condition for polyhydroxyalkanoic acid production two-stage culture technique was used; first stage for cell growth and second stage for PHA production on unbalanced growth conditions. Optimal conditions for high PHA production were C/N ratio 50, temperature 36$\circ$C and pH 6.8. To overcome fructose inhibition on cell growth, intermittent feeding fed-batch culture technique was used. Total cell concentration was 17.4 g/l with 9.1 g/l of PHA. The purified PHA was identified PHB/HV copolymer by NMR analysis.

A large quantity of ethylene glycol(EG) is remained in the effluent after pretreating polyester weight-loss wastewater physicochemically in the fist stage and must be treated biologically in the second stage. Therefore, an excellent EG-utilizing bacteria strain was isolated from the natural system and the optimal culture conditions of the strain were investigated. The optimal culture conditions of temperature, pH, and nitrogen source were found to be 35$^{\circ}C$, 7.5 and ammonium chloride, respectively, when CODCr removal efficiency was more than 90%. The growth of stains and EG removal efficiency was slightly improved by adding elements such as niacin and biotin. With increasing inoculation size in a batch culture, the removal efficiency of EG was conspicuously increased. Growth rate was inhibited when the initial concentration of EG was more then 30g/L. The strain was identified as Pseudomonas sp. based on morphological and biological characteristics and named as Pseudomonas sp. EG1.

Helicobacter pylori is a major cause of gastric-associated diseases. In our previous study, the Adhesin/CTXA2B was expressed as insoluble recombinant chimeric protein derived from the H. pylori adhesin genetically coupled to CTXA2B subunit in Escherichia coli. Since it is very important to optimize IPTG concentration, culture temperature and composition of medium to maximize cell growth and productivity, these conditional growth factors were determined for increasing the productivity of the expressed Adhesin/CTXA2B chimeric protein in Escherichia coli JM101 carrying pTEDhpa/ctxa2b. Our data demonstrate that optimal medium for increased production of chimeric protein was a YCP/Glu medium composed of 2% yeast extract, 1% casamino acid, phosphate solution [0.3% $KH_2P0_4$, 0.4% $Na_2HP0_4$, 0.25% ($NH_4)_2HPO_4$], and 0.5% glucose. In addition, optimal concentration of IPTG was 1 mM and culture temperature, $37^{\circ}C$.

Lignosus rhinocerus is a macrofungus that belongs to Polyporaceae and is native to tropical regions. This highly priced mushroom has been used as folk medicine to treat diseases by indigenous people. As a preliminary study to develop a culture method for edible mushrooms, the cultural characteristics of L. rhinocerus were investigated in a range of culture media under different environmental conditions. Mycelial growth of this mushroom was compared on culture media composed of various carbon and nitrogen sources in addition to C/N ratios. The optimal conditions for mycelial growth were $30^{\circ}C$ at pH 6 and 7. Rapid mycelial growth of L. rhinocerus was observed on glucose-peptone and yeast extract peptone dextrose media. Carbon and nitrogen sources promoting mycelial growth of L. rhinocerus were glucose and potassium nitrate, respectively. The optimum C/N ratio was approximately 10 : 1 using 2% glucose supplemented as a carbon source in the basal media.
