In this study, a new method called as multi-dropped liquid membrane (MDLM) which is more practical and more effective than other liquid membrane techniques is applied for transport of Zn(II) has been studied. HCl as the stripping solution and D2EHPA dissolved in kerosene as the membrane solution, has been examined. The effects of stripping solution concentration, carrier concentration, temperature and pH in the feed phase on the transport of Zn(II) have also been investigated. As a result, the optimum transport conditions of Zn(II) were obtained, i.e., the concentration of HCl solution was 0.25 M, the concentration of D2EHPA was $8{\times}10^{-3}M$, and pH value in the donor phase was 5.00. Under the optimum conditions, the transport percentage of Zn(II) was up to >99% during the transport time of 80 min when the initial concentration of Zn(II) was $120mgL^{-1}$. The activation energy is calculated as $5.30kcalmol^{-1}$. The value of calculated activation energy indicates that the process is diffusionally controlled by Zn(II) ions. The experiments have demonstrated that D2EHPA derivative is a good carrier for Zn(II) transport through MDLM in the study.

For Trametes sp. CJ-105, a kind of white-rot fungi which was collected from the mountain of Korea and was proven to be effective in decolorizing a wide range of structurally different synthetic dyes, the optimum conditions for mycelial growth and laccase(E.C. 1.10.3.2) production were investigated. Among various carbon sources, glucose showed the highest potential for the mycelial growth and laccase production, the optimum concentration being 2% glucose. For the nitrogen source, asparagine was good for the mycelial growth, while ammonium tartrate for laccase production(optimum concentration: 0.04%). The addition of thiamine and biotin increased both th emycelial growth and laccase production. When 2,5-xylidine was added as an inducer after the first day of culture, the production of alccase was seven-times higher than that in the absence of the inducer. The optimum pH and temperature conditions for laccase production by Trametes sp. CJ-105 were pH 5.0 and $25^{\circ}C$, respectively. In the 5L fermentation, the production of laccase reached a maximum of 340U/ml at the time when the ammonium ion was being rapidly depleted.

In order to develop the method for mass production of natural food colorant from Monascus anka, optimum cultivation conditions for producing red and yellow pigments by cultiva- ting the mold in a jar fermenter and their color characteristics were investigated. The mold produced red and yellow pigments both intracellularly and extracellularly. These pigments showed unique light absorption characteristics with maximum absorption of 494, 380, 506, and 388 nm for extracellular red pigment (ERP), extracellular yellow pigment (EYP), intracellular red pigment (IRP), and intracellular yellow pigment (IYP), respectively. Optimum conditions for producing red pigments were found to be temperature 30$\circ$C, initial pH 6.0, rice powder 3-5%, peptone 0.05%, magnesium sulfate 0.25%, aeration rate 0.1 vvm. Optimum temperature for producing yellow pigments was around 35$\circ$C which is higher than that of producing red pigments. The initial pH and rice powder concentration for producing yellow pigments were the same as those of producing red pigments. The higher concentration of nitrogen source and inorganic salt, aeration rate, the more the yellow pigments were produced. The optimum agitation speed was 100 - 300 rpm for pigment production.

Optimum conditions for the production of acetoin and ammonia as the precursors of tetramethylpyrazine(TMP) were determined using Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis biovar. diacetylactis FC1 in a modified Lactose-citrate broth containing galactose, citrate, and arginine. The cell growth and the productivity of acetoin and ammonia were remarkably increased in an aerobic culture with 10 $\mu M$ of hematin. For the optimum conditions of acetoin and ammonia production, the concentration of citrate and arginine were adjusted to 156 mM and 50 mM after 18 hr cultivation, and citrate and galactose to 156 mM and 50 mM after 36 hr cultivation, respectively. In these conditions, acetoin and ammonia were produced to the final concentration of 127 mM and 195 mM, which were the highest concentations, respectively. The optimum conditions of the TMP production were also determined as follows; 4 hours at 121, pH 8.3, and the maximal yield of TMP under these conditions was 0.81 g/l.

With the aim to produce ascorbic acid-2-phosphate(AsA-2-P) from L-ascorbic acid(AsA, Vitamin C), nine bacteria conferring the ability to transform AsA to AsA-2-P were isolated from soil samples alongside known strains from culture collections. Most isolates were classified to the genus Brevundimonas by 16S phylogenetic analysis. Among them, Brevundimonas diminuta KACC 10306 was selected as the experimental strain because of its the highest productivity of AsA-2-P. The optimum set of conditions for the AsA-2-P production from AsA using resting cells as the source of the enzyme was also investigated. The optimum cultivation time was 16 h and the cell concentration was 120g/l(wet weight). The optimum concentrations of AsA and pyrophosphate were 550mM and 450mM, respectively. The most effective buffer was 50mM sodium formate. The optimum pH was 4.5 and temperature was $40^{\circ}C$. Under the above conditions, 27.5g/l of AsA-2-P was produced from AsA after 36 h of incubation, which corresponded to a 19.7% conversion efficiency based on the initial concentration of AsA.

To establish the optimum conditions for the extraction of anthocyanin pigment from purple-fleshed sweet potato, a suitable extraction solvent with the optimum citric acid concentration for acidification of the solvent, and the optimum extraction time and temperature were determined. Twenty percent ethanol solution acidified with citric acid was found to be a good solvent for the extraction of the pigment from purple-fleshed sweet potato. About 10 hour extraction at room temperature was appropriate for the extraction. pH of the extract was below 3 when more than 0.7% citric acid was added. The higher the concentration of citric acid added was, the higher the total optical density (TOD) of the extract was. However, the increase in TOD of the extract was insignificant when more than 1% of citric acid was added. Therefore, addition of 1% citric acid was determined for acidification of the extracting solvent. Though the initial rate of the pigment extraction increased as the extracting temperature increased, extraction at higher temperatures of 60 or 8$0^{\circ}C$ for an extended time caused a decrease in the extraction yield due to degradation of the pigment. The optimum extraction temperature for the anthocyanin pigment from purple-fleshed sweet potato with the solvent used was determined as 4$0^{\circ}C$.

This review serves two purposes: first, to promote the use of improved optimization techniques in response surface methodology (RSM); and second, to enhance the optimum conditions for the fermentation of probiotics. According to research in dairy science, Lactiplantibacillus plantarum K79 is a candidate probiotic that has beneficial health effects, such as lowering blood pressure. The optimum conditions for L. plantarumK79 to produce peptides with angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity were proposed, through modeling each of ACE inhibitory activity and pH as a function of the four factors that are skim milk concentration (%), incubation temperature (℃), incubation time (hours), and starter added amount (%). To estimate optimum conditions, the researchers employed a desirability-based multi-response optimization approach, utilizing third-order models with a nonsignificant lack of fit. The estimated optimum fermentation conditions for L. plantarum K79 were as follows: a skim milk concentration of 10.76%, an incubation temperature of 36.9℃, an incubation time of 23.76 hours, and a starter added amount of 0.098%. Under these conditions, the predicted ACE inhibitory activity was 91.047%, and the predicted pH was 4.6. These predicted values achieved the objectives of the multi-response optimization in this study.

활성슬러지 공정의 생물학적 반응조 및 2차 침전지 설계와 관련해서 정상상태 설계식(Ekama et al., 1986; WRC, 1984) 및 1-D flux theory 설계식(Ekama et al., 1997)을 사용하여 슬러지 농도에 따라 두 가지 공정을 일괄적으로 설계하였다. 또한, 슬러지 농도에 따른 생물학적 반응조 및 2차 침전지 크기 변화를 도식화하고, 유입수 성상이나 슬러지 침강성, 환경 및 운전조건 그리고 첨두유량이 각 공정의 크기결정에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. 먼저유입수의 특성과 관련하여 난분해성 용해성 물질(fs,us)은 반응조 크기 결정에 큰 영향이 없었지만, 난분해성 입자성 물질(fs,up), 무기고형물(fi) 및 유기물 강도(Sti)의 영향은 크게 나타났다. 운전인자인 Sludge Retention Time (SRT)의 경우, 슬러지 생산량과 관련되므로 반응조 크기결정에 역시 큰 영향을 미쳤다. 2차 침전지의 설계요소인 Sludge Volume Index (SVI) 및 첨두유량이 커질수록 2차 침전지에 수리학적 부하가 커지게 되어, 2차 침전지가 크게 설계되어야 했다. 본 설계과정에서는, 온도 변화가 미치는 영향은 작게 나타났다. 대규모 처리장의 경우 반응조 및 2차 침전지 전체 크기 결정과 함께 1개조 크기의 상한선을 설정하여 개수를 산정하였다. 최종적으로 엔지니어는 여러 가지 슬러지 농도에 대하여 반응조 및 2차 침전조의 크기, 개수 및 현장조건을 고려한 건설비용을 반복적으로 계산하게 되면, 최소비용 설계와 함께 최적의 슬러지 농도를 결정하게 된다.
