Optimal criterion for the scale-up production of schizophyllan, a fungal polysaccharide secreted by Schizophyllum commune, was investigated. For the production of the polysaccharide in a 150-l bioreactor, the culture conditions optimized in a 15-l bioreactor were applied to a 150-l bioreactor with scale-up process, by changing impeller speed and airflow rate. The optimized impeller speed in the 15-l bioreactor was 50 rpm in a technical medium based on barley. For establishment of the scale-up process, 3 kinds of criteria were used while the gas throughput number was kept constant, as follows; constant volume-related power input, constant tip speed of stirrer, and constant Reynolds number. In the 150-l bioreactor, the highest values for the maximum specific growth rate (1.17/day) and productivity (0.63 g/L${\cdot}$day) were achieved in the culture condition from constant volumerelated power input criterion.

장수상황버섯(Phellinus baumii)의 균사체 성장 및 세포외 다당체(exopolysaccharides) 생산을 위한 액체배양의 최적 배지 및 배양조건에 관한 실험을 수행한 결과, 최적배양 온도와 초기 pH는 각각 3$0^{\circ}C$와 5.0으로 결정되었다. 탄소원의 경우, cellobiose와 maltose가 균사체 성장에는 양호하였으나 저조한 세포외 다당체 생산을 보였으며, 반면에 fructose 와 mannitol 은 상대적으로 높은 수율의 세포외 다당체 생산과 균사체 성장 또한 양호하였다. 최적 질소원으로는 yeast extract가 균사체 성장뿐만 아니라 세포외 다당체 생산에 효과적인 것으로 결정되었다. 최적 배지의 조성은 fructose 20 g/L, yeast extract 20 g/L 및 $CaCl_2$ 0.55 g/L이었으며, 최적 배양조건 하에서 5-L 교반 발효조를 운전한 결과, 최대 균사체 성장(17.43 g/L)과 최대 세포외 다당체 생산(3.6 g/L)을 얻을 수 있었다. 회수된 세포외 다당체는 glycoprotein이었으며 그 조성은 amino acid분석 결과 주로 arginine (14.1%)과 glycin (12.0%)이었으며, cabohydrate의 경우는 mannose (48.7%)와 arabinose (38.4%)이 주성분이었다.

본 연구에서는 식물생장억제미생물 B. subtilis IJ-31이 생산하는 HCA의 최적생산조건을 검토하였다. HCA생산 최적조건으로 탄소원은 1%의 미강, 질소원은 0.5% tryptone, 무기염은 0.1% $ZnCl_2$, 배양 온도는 $37^{\circ}C$, 배양시간은 60시간, pH는 7.0에서 $90.5\;{\mu}g/ml$의 HCA를 생산하였으므로 이를 최적생산조건으로 확립하였다. 이를 바탕으로 통계프로그램(SAS) 중 반응표면 분석법(RSM)을 이용한 jar fermentor 배양에서의 HCA 최적생산 조건을 확립하였다. 즉 토양추출물 2.24% 첨가, 교반속도 290 ppm, tryptone 0.83% 첨가, 배양온도 $37^{\circ}C$, 배양시간 60시간, pH 7.0에서 $102.99\;{\mu}g/ml$의 HCA를 생산하는 최적생산 조건으로 예측되었다. 따라서 실제 상기 RSM 최적 조건에서 실험한 결과 HCA는 $102.5\;{\mu}g/ml$를 생산하였다. 이러한 결과는 플라스크에서 HCA는 $90.5\;{\mu}g/ml$로 생산되었으나 jar fermenter 배양에서는 플라스크 배양에 비하여 12%가량 HCA 생산량이 증가된 결과를 보여주는 것이다.

The bacteria of red colonies isolated from soil were identified as Serratia marcescens. The best solvent for pigment extraction was n-buthanol and the pigment was identified as prodigiosene. The extracted pigment was stable on temperature and light but not on acidity. The redpigment color changed into red in alkaline solution. The maximum absorbancy of pigment was 466 nm in alkaline condition and 540 nm in acid condition. And the pigment formed single spot on the TLC(starch). By the result of infra red spectrum, the red pigment has the same absorption pattern comparing with, the prodigisin produced by S. marcescens strain Nima. It was confirmed that the pigment was secondary metabolite and that the maximal peak of production appeared at 30 hrs after the inoculation, when the bacterial growth was in statinary state. Referring to the effect of temperature, the pigment was not formed at $36^{\circ}C$ and the optimal temperature for both of bactrial growth and pigmentation was $30^{\circ}C$. The optimal range of pH for pigmentation was 5.0 and under the condition the bacterial growth was not affected at all. Examining the effects of light, the bacterial pigment ation was more increased in darkness than in visible light.

Recently, several health benefits of rice wine, makgeolli, were known due to the interest on the traditional Korean liquor and the researches on the rice wine are increasing. Organic acids produced during the process of rice wine fermentation play important roles in the taste and flavor. In this study, we have examined the optimal conditions for lactic acid production in rice koji as a carbon source. Skim milk was also used as a supplementary ingredient for the optimization of lactic acid fermentation. Bacterial growth of Lactobacillus sakei was monitored under this condition. The pH, acidity of the culture and the ethanol tolerance of this bacterium were also tested. Through these experiments, we were able to optimize the growth condition of lactic acid bacteria by the addition of skim milk. This was also able to affect the change of pH, acidity, sugar concentration and alcohol tolerance, which might contribute to the improvement of the quality of rice wine. The optimal condition for the growth was 2 days with 10% (w/v) of skim milk concentration. With these results, it was confirmed that rice koji was an effective carbon source for the growth of lactic acid bacteria.

The purpose of this paper was to investigate the reforming characteristics and optimum operating condition of the plasmatron assisted $CH_4$ reforming reaction for the hydrogen-rich gas production. Also, in order to increase the hydrogen production and the methane conversion rate, parametric screening studies were conducted, in which there were the variations of the $CH_4$ flow ratio, $CO_2$ flow ratio, vapor flow ratio, mixing flow ratio and catalyst addition in reactor. High temperature plasma flame was generated by air and arc discharge. The air flow rate and input electric power were fixed 5.1 l/min and 6.4 kW, respectively. When the $CH_4$ flow ratio was 38.5%, the production of hydrogen was maximized and optimal methane conversion rate was 99.2%. Under these optimal conditions, the following synthesis gas concentrations were determined: $H_2$, 45.4%; CO, 6.9%; $CO_2$, 1.5%; and $C_2H_2$, 1.1%. The $H_2/CO$ ratio was 6.6, hydrogen yield was 78.8% and energy conversion rate was 63.6%.

Previously, it has been reported that Aspergillus oryzae can efficiently degrade unpleasant odor components such as butyric acid and 3-methyl butanoic acid from meju, a major ingredient in both Korean soybean paste (doenjang) and soy sauce. In this study, the optimal manufacturing conditions for the production of superior quality Korean soybean paste and soy sauce were determined. Specifically, A. oryzae AJ 100 was utilized to improve the flavor of these products. Mixtures of Korean soybean paste and A. oryzae AJ 100 culture (2 : 1), and of Korean soy sauce and A. oryzae AJ 100 culture (5 : 1), were incubated for 2 weeks at $30^{\circ}C$, and showed improved flavor. Butyric acid and 3-methyl butanoic acid were clearly degraded under these culture conditions.

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.
