To investigate the optimum conditions for the production of ammonia as a precursor of tetramethylpyrazine flavor compound from arginine by Lactococcus lactis ssp. lactis biovar. diacetilactis FC1, fermentation factors such as initial pH of culture media, fermentation temperature, concentration of arginine-HC1, and sugars were examined. The optimum conditions were initial pH 5.5 of the culture media, fermentation temperature of $34^{\circ}C$, 6% (w/v) of arginine-HC1, and 1% (w/v) of galactose as a carbon source. Under the optimum fermentation conditions, 40 mmole/l of ammonia was produced after 40 h.

This study was carried out to investigate the influences of cultural conditions of koji on the production of organic acid during rice-koji making by Aspergillus awamori var. kawachii which is now widely used as koji-mold in brewing Takju and Yakju in Korea. The optimum temperature for the germination of the conidia of the mold was 35'8, and the time required for germination at this temperature was 8 hours. Rapid germination occurred when the water content of steamed rice was above 40%, but germination retardation occurred markedly below 35%. The optimum cultural temperature for the production of organic acid was 32$^{\circ}C$, and the production of organic acid was markedly restricted at 36$^{\circ}C$ and 4$0^{\circ}C$. It was effective for the high production of both saccharogenic amylase and organic acid to shift the cultural temperature from initial 36$^{\circ}C$ to 32$^{\circ}C$ after 20~25 hours of cultivation. Initial water content suitable to the production of organic acid was 40% in steamed rice, but its production was markedly restricted below 30% of water content. When the quantity of conidial inoculation was too small, the production of organic acid was low in initial phase, but it was retrived at later period. Acid production was markedly restricted together with the increase in koji thickness.

A bacterial strain, designated as WY22, producing extracellular chitinase was isolated from the soil around the Youngduck area, after enrichment culture in a medium containing $1{\%}$ (w/v) wet colloidal chitin as a sole carbon source. The isolate was identified as a strain of Bacillus sp. based on its morphological and physiological characteristics. It was observed that Bacillus sp. WY22 could inhibit the growth of Fusarium oxysporum with hyphal extention-inhibition assay on potato dextrose agar plate supplemented with $1{\%}$ collidal chitin. Optimum culture conditions of Bacillus sp. WY22 were examined for chitinase production in a chitin medium. High level production of chitinase was observed not only in the chitin medium but in a medium supplemented with $1{\%}$ N-glucosamine or lactose instead of chitin. The optimum concentrations of colloidal chitin and yeast extract were 3.0 and $0.5{\%}$, and the optimum culture conditions for initial pH of medium and temperature were 7.0 and $30^{\circ}C$, respectively, for the production of chitinase.

선발균의 효소생산성 향상을 위해 배양과정의 특징을 조사하였다. 효소생산을 위한 최적의 탄소원은 sucrose (35)이고, 질소원은 ammonium oxalate와 yeast extract를 함께 넣어 주었을 때이었다. 5l jar fermentor에서 선발균의 배양형태를 조사한 결과 2-3일 배양기간에는 pH가 4 이하로 현저하게 감소하는 것을 관찰하였고 4일 이후 다시 pH가 5-6 사이로 증가하였다. 균의 성장은 4일까지 증가하였다. 균체내 효소의 생성은 2일까지는 현저한 증가를 보이고 3-4일 정도 큰 변화를 나타내지 않으며 5일 이후 감소하였다. 균체외 효소는 5-6 일까지 계속 증가하는 형태를 나타내었다. Glucose로 24시간 동안 미리 배양한 후 surcose를 첨가하여 배양했을 때 균체내 효소의 생산이 현저히 증가하는 것을 알 수 있었다.

The essential operating parameters in virus vaccine production are multiplicity of infection (MOI), harvest time, and infection time. Stimulating agents also can be applied in order to improve vaccine productivity further. We investigated the optimum operating conditions in porcine transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV) vaccine production and the applicability of sodium butyrate (NaBu) as a stimulating agents for the improvement of vaccine productivity. The optimum MOI, infection time, and harvest time for high production of TGEV by swine testicle (ST) cells were found to be 0.0001 pfu/cell, 3 day after cell inoculation, and 24 hpi, respectively. NaBu is known as a histone deacetylase inhibitor that has been widely used for the high expression of recombinant protein using mammalian cells and for the enhancement of virus propagation. So we tried to examine the potential of NaBu as a stimulating agent and to determine the optimum concentration by comparing TGEV titers with different range of NaBu concentration. TGEV titer with 5 mM NaBu was 1.5 times higher than control. Therefore, we concluded that NaBu can be a promising agent for stimulating various vaccine production including TGEV and the optimum NaBu concentration for TGEV production was determined to be 5 mM.

In this study, microwave irradiation, which is reflected by metals, was used to reduce the amount of sewage sludge, and the results were used to verify solubilization efficiency and determine optimum operation conditions. Biogas production and methane content of the gas under optimized conditions were measured with the biochemical methane potential (BMP) test. The sludge was taken from a thickened sludge tank at J sewage treatment plant (JSTP) in Seoul, Korea. For the experiments, 50 mL of sludge was filled in vessels and the vessels were irradiated with the power of 500, 600, 700, and 800W for 2~5 min. In addition, Fe powder was added by 0.01, 0.05, and 0.1 g to compare the efficiency with and without Fe powder. The results confirmed that solubilization efficiency was higher in the presence of Fe powder. The optimum conditions of 0.01 g addition of Fe powder with 800W irradiation for 5 min, yielded nearly 22.95% higher solubilization efficiency than without Fe powder. The BMP tests were carried out using sludge obtained from the experiments carried out under the optimum conditions. As a result, sludge subjected by 800W with 0.01 g of Fe powder for 5 min displayed the highest level of gas production and methane content. Through this study, it could be confirmed that solubilization efficiency increased by addition of Fe powder.

세포외지질을 생합성하는 균주 Rhodotorula glutinis K-501을 토양으로부터 분리하였는데 이들에 의해 생산된 지질은 우수 하고 안정적인 유화특성을 나타내었다 세포외지질의 생합성을 극대화하기 위하여 지질의 생산에 영향을 주는 인자들을 검토하여 배양 조건을 최적화하였다. Sucrose와 ammonium sulfate를 각각 탄소원과 질소원으로 사용하였을 때 세포외지질의 생합성 농도가 높았으므로 최적의 성분으로 결정되었으며, 최적의 C/N비는 50이었다. $KH_2PO_4,\;Na_2HPO_4,\;MgSO_4,\;CaCl_2$는 각각 3.5, 1.0, 0.75, O.1g/L일 때가 최적의 농도이었으며 최적의 온도와 pH는 $22^{\circ}C$,7.0이었다. 최적의 조건하에서 sucrose 60g/L을 사용하여 교반식 발효조에서 회분배양을 한 결과 세포외지질이 8.1g/L의 농도로 생합성되어 단위세포 질량당 51.9%의 높은 수율을 얻을 수 있었다.

Bacteriocin-producing microorganism was isolated from Kimchi. The microorganism was identified as a Lactobacillus sp. and named Lactobacillus sp. JB-42. The optimum conditions for the bacteriocin production from the isolated microorganism were evaluated. For the maximum yield of bacteriocin from Lactobacillus sp. JB-42, the cell should be harvested at the early stationary phase and the temperature, pH and NaCl concentration should be $30^{\circ}C$, pH 7 and without the addition of NaCl, respectively. Sucrose, glucose or fructose should be used as a carbon source and organic nitrogen such as tryptone should be used as a nitrogen source for the best yield. The production of bacteriocin was related to the cell growth of Lactobacillus sp. JB-42 indicating the role of Lactobacillus in the Kimchi fermentation process.

Continuous and simultaneous production of gluconic acid and sorbitol from glucose and fructose was carried out by using glucose-fructose oxidoreductase and glucanolactonase of Zymomonas mobilis. In order to utilize the enzymes without purification, Zymomonas mobilis was permeabilized with toluene. Optimum conditions for permeabilization and reaction kinetics of permeabilized Zymomonas mobilis were studied. In batch operation with the permeabilized cells immobilized in alginate beads, about 90% conversion was obtained within 35 h reaction. Continuous production of gluconic acid and sorbitol using the immobilized permeabilized cells was carried out. Optimum conditions for continuous operation with the imn~obilized cells were; pH 6.2 and temperature $40^{\circ}C$. Maximum productivities for gluconic acid and sorbitol were about 14.5 g/l/h and 14.8 g/l/h respectively at the dilution rate of 0.075 $h^{-1}$ when 300 g/l each of substrates was fed.

Continuous production of fructo-oligosaccharides employing a packed bed reactor charged with immobilized cells of Aureobasidium pullulans was investigated. The optimum conditions for reactor operation were a feed concentration of 860 g/l; a feed rate, expressed as superficial space velocity of $0.2\;h^{-1}$, and a temperature of $50^\circ{C}$. Under these optimum conditions, the productivity of the reactor was $180\;g/l\cdot{h}$. Initial activity was maintained for more than 100 days. The reactor was successfully scaled up to a production scale of 1000l.
