Streptomyces minoensis DMCJ-144 isolated from soil produces the ${\alpha}-amylase$ inhibitor. Optimum culture conditions for ${\alpha}-amylase$ inhibitor production of the strain were determined in this experiment. The optimum composition of the culture medium was studied by supplementing various carbon sources, nitrogen sources, vitamins, and metal salts to the basal medium containing 1% glucose, 0.1% asparagine, 0.005% $MgSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O$, 0.005% $K_2HPO_4$, 0.005% NaCl. Other culture conditions such as the culture temperature, initial pH of the medium, aeration, and culture time were also investigated. When the strain was cultured in a 100 ml flask containing 20 ml of 2% glucose, 0.5% beef extract, 0.0002% riboflavin, 0.0002% thiamine HCI, 0.01% $ZnCl_2$, 0.005% $MgSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O$, 0.005% $CuSO_4{\cdot}5H_2O$, 0.005% NaCl, pH 7.2, 180 rpm at $30^{\circ}C$, the maximum production of the ${\alpha}-amylase$ inhibitor was observed after 5 days of the cultivation.

Phaffia rhodozyma is the most promising microbial source of astaxanthin production, though wild-type strains are needed to increase the astaxanthin content for commercial production. To increase astaxanthin content for commercial production, a mutant strain of P. rhodozyma was selected and culture conditions of the mutant selected were optimized. P. rhodozyma was treated with mutagenic agent such as NTG, acriflavine, and UV in serial order and carotenoids hyper-producing mutant strain was selected based on the capabilities of cell growth on the agar plate containing chemical inhibitors and carotenoids production. Among the mutants tested, a mutant WS-2 was finally selected. Mutant WS-2 produced 1.26mg carotenoids/g-dry cell weight and this value was about- 4-folds higher than that of wild-type. The optimum culture conditions were $24^{\circ}C$ of temperature, 1.5vvm of aeration and 300rpm of agitation. In the optimized condition, cell and carotenoids concentrations were 7.62g/l and 14.9mg/l, respectively.

The effect of fermentation parameters and medium composition on the simultaneous mycelial growth and exo-polymer production from submerged cultures of Ganoderma applanatum was investigated in shake-flask cultures. The optimum initial pH for mycelial growth and exo-polymer production was 5.0 and 6.0, respectively. The optimum temperature was $25^{\circ}C$ and the optimum inoculum content was 3.0% (v/v). The optimal carbon and nitrogen sources were glucose and corn steep powder, respectively. After 12 days fermentation under these conditions, the highest mycelial growth was 18.0 g/l and the highest exo-polymer production was 3.9 g/l.

The Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI) is planning the construction of the KIJANG Research Reactor (KJRR) for stable supply of ⁹⁹Mo. The Fission ⁹⁹Mo Production Process (FMPP) of KJRR produces solid waste such as spent uranium cake and alumina cake, and liquid waste in the form of intermediate level liquid waste (ILLW) and low level liquid waste (LLLW). This study thus established the operating range and optimum operating conditions for the cementation of ILLW from FMPP. It also evaluated whether cement waste form samples produced under optimum operational conditions satisfy the waste acceptance criteria (WAC) of a disposal facility in Korea (Korea radioactive waste agency, KORAD). Considering economic feasibility and safety, optimum operational conditions were achieved at a w/c ratio of 0.55, and the corresponding salt content was 5.71 wt%. The cement waste form samples prepared under optimum operational conditions were found to satisfy KORAD's WAC when tested for structural stability and leachability. The results indicate that the proposed cementation conditions for the disposal of ILLW from FMMP can be effectively applied to KJRR's disposal facility.

To produce alcohol from Mume (Prunus mume Sieb. et Zucc) fruits, fermentation conditions were optimized by a response surface methodology (RSM) using the fractional factorial design with 3 variables and 5 levels. The coefficient of determination ($R^2$) of response surface regression equation for alcohol production were 0.9276. Optimum conditions for alcohol production were involved with 8.39% of sugar content, 28.86$^{\circ}C$ of fermentation temperature and 3.84 days of fermentation time. Finally, predicted level of alcohol production at these conditions was 5.24%.

To produce economically important acid with pear juice, an acetic acid bacterium was selected from many isolated acetic acid bacteria. The alcohoic fermentation was conducted by inoculating pear juice with Saccharomyces cerevisiae ATCC 4124, and then the pear vinegar was prepared by batch cultivation in flaskes with the isolated Acetobacter sp. The optimum conditions for high yield of acetic acid were studied experimentally in the batch shake flask . For seed purposes the Acetobactor sp. was cultivated for 2 -days and transferred to the acid production medium . Optimum alcohol concentration, initial acidity and temperature for the acid production were 8.0% , 2.0% and 28$^{\circ}C$, respectively. Under the same conditions, the addition of yeast extract (1%) was observed to produce relatively high yield of acetic acid.

The optimization of culture conditions for the bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa BYK-2 KCTC 18012P, was performed to increase its rhamnolipid production. The optimum level for carbon, nitrogen sources, temperature and pH, for rhamnolipid production in a flask, were identified as 25 g/L fish oil, 0.01% (w/v) urea, 25 and pH 7.0, respectively. Optimum conditions for batch culture, using a 7-L jar fermentor, were 200 rpm of agitation speed and a 2.0 L/min aeration rate. Under the optimum conditions, on fish oil for 216 h, the final cell and rhamnolipid concentrations were 5.3 g/L and 17.0 g/L respectively. Fed-batch fermentation, with different feeding conditions, was carried out in order to increase, cell growth and rhamnolipid production by the Pseudomonas aeruginosa, BYK-2 KCTC 18012P. When 2.5 g of fish oil and 100 mL basal salts medium, containing 0.01 % (w/v) urea, were fed intermittently during the fermentation, the final cell and rhamnolipid concentrations at 264 h, were 6.1 and 22.7 g/L respectively. The fed-batch culture resulted in a 1.2-fold increase in the dry cell mass and a 1.3-fold increase in rhamnolipid production, compared to the production of the batch culture. The rhamnolipid production-substrate conversion factor (0.75 g/g) was higher than that of the batch culture (0.68 g/g).

Bacillus subtilis SH-1 screened from coastal sea water of South Korea was used to produce bacteriolytic enzyme. The production of bacteriolytic enzyme by immobilized cells was investigated. The optimum conditions for the continuous production of the bacteriolytic enzyme using immobilized cells were 2.4 mm diameter of 0.3% alginate beads, 20 ml/h of substrate feeding rate and 20 l/min of aeration rate. A productivity of 76.5 to 88.0 units/ml could be obtained for 25 days by continuous column reactor under the optimum conditions.
