We studied the screening condition for immune regulatory responsor. We focused on the T-lymphocytes leer this purpose. Mouse fetal thymic organ culture (FTOC) system and flow cytometric analysis were mainly used in this experiment. Even if FTOC is carried out in vivo condition, the pattern of thymic development in the condition of FTOC is similar to that of in vivo condition. In this regard, FTOC system might be very powerful tool to screen the immune regulator, especially concerning on T cells. To establish the optimum condition of FTOC to screen the Immune regulator, we focused on the optimum amount of dose and culture period. The cell number and surface antigens on T cells were also analysed by using hemacytometer and flow cytometer. To monitor the differentiation event, anti-CD3, anti-CD4 and anti-CD8 antibodies were used. Alkoxyglycerol and Phellodendri Cortex were used fur positive and negative control, respectively. Astragalus membranceus was used as test sample. From our analysis, we reached to conclusions that the best dose of extract is $50\;{\mu}g/ml$ of culture medium, the best culture period is for 9 days, and ethanol used as solvent has no toxicity to FTOC.

For the efficient production of a new exo-polysaccharide from Ganoderma lucidum ASI 7004, the optimum conditions and methods in submerged cultivation were investigated with an airlift fermenter system. The optimum aeration rate was 2.5 Wm at the initial pH 5.0 and 28$^{\circ}C$. The increase of dissolved oxygen concentration by pure oxygen supply during cultivation did not improved the exo-polysaccaride production and the mycelial growth. The maximum exo-polysaccharide production and the mycelial growth under the optimum culture condition were obtained in media of glucose 60g/L, yeast extract 6g/L, (NH4)2HPO4 1g/L and KH2PO4 0.5g/L. Under these optimum medium and culture conditions, about 7.15g/L of exo-polysaccharide and 13.9g/L of mycelial growth were producted, respectively.

Optimum conditions for vacuum-drying ad cultivation of yeast cells for the production of active dry yeast were examined. At lower temperature, more drying time was required to dry the yeast pellet to reach the desirable water content(8%). Optimum temperature of vaccum oven and time for drying was 63$^{\circ}C$ and 90 min, respectively. Optimum medium composition for flask culture using cane molasses as the substrate were 0.25% sugar, 0.013% $K_2$HPO$_4$, 0.1% $K_2$HPO$_4$. and 0.125% (NH$_4$)$_2$SO$_4$. Culture temperature $25^{\circ}C$ gave the highest survival rate of dired yeast. After finishing fed-batch culture and the culture was left in the fermentor without adding any sugar or nutrient, survival of the dried yeast harvested from the fermentor increased to 86.0% after 36 hr. It was also observed that the yeast cells with higher budding rates showed lower survival rate.

Effect of culture conditions on the fermentation of wheat flour solution by mixed lactic acid bacteria of Lactobacillus brevis, L. fermentum and L. plantarum was investigated. The optimum temperature for the fermentation of wheat flour solution was $35^{\circ}C$ because pH decreased the lowest value and TTA (total titrable acidity) increased the highest value at this temperature. In aerobic condition, fermentor was purged with air at 1.0 vvm and was purged with nitrogen gas at 1.0 vvm in anaerobic condition. The decrease of pH and the increase of TTA in aerobic condition were higher than those in anaerobic condition. In aerobic condition, the optimum condition of oxygen supply was found to be oxygen transfer rate coefficient of $60\;hr^{-1}$ which corresponded to agitation speed of 250 rpm in a 5 L fermentor. Repeated fed-batch cultures were performed using pH-stat in order to increase the productivity of fermented wheat flour. With increasing the repeated fraction of culture volume, mean cycle time increased but maximum operation time decreased. However, the volume of produced broth per culture volume per time and total volume of produced broth per culture volume were maximum at the repeated fraction of culture volume of 20%. In a repeated fed-batch fermentation of wheat flour solution using mixed lactic acid bacteria, the culture condition was optimum at temerature of $35^{\circ}C$, aeration rate of 1.0 vvm, oxygen transfer rate coefficient of $60\;hr^{-1}$, and repeated fraction of culture volume of 20%.

Various parameters such as solvent selection, concentration, solid/liquid ratio, soaking time, temperature, stationary, shaking conditions, and repeated extractions were investigated in order to determine the optimum extraction conditions of ${\beta}$-glucosidase from bagasse fermented by mixed culture of Aspergillus niger NRC 7A and Aspergillus oryzae NRRL 447. Among various solvents tested, non ionic detergents gave the best results than the inorganic or organic salt solutions and distilled water. The optimum conditions for extraction of ${\beta}$-glucosidase were 30 min soaking time at $40^{\circ}C$ under shaking condition at 150 rpm, with solid/liquid ratio 1:15 (w/v), which yielded $2882.74{\pm}95.52U/g$ fermented culture (g fc) of enzyme activity. With repeated washes under the above optimum conditions, the results showed that enzyme extracted in the $1^{st}$ and $2^{nd}$ washes represents about 90% of the total activity.

This study was performed to get the basic information concerned to the optimum culture condition of Inonotus obliquus. Several solid media, PDA, MEA and Czapek-Dox, and three liquid media were adopted for the in vitro cultivation. Some main features of the fungal morphological characteristics under cultivation conditions were observed and described. Preliminary results showed that appearance of the mycelial mat, hyphal size and substrate pigmentation differed according to the media. The PDA medium was the most favorable substrate for the growth on solid culture, followed by MEA and Czapek-Dox media. Concerned to the addition of amino acids, 5 amino acids, such as alanine, alginine, isoleucine, leucine and threonine, enhanced to the mycelial growth. Isoleucine was shown the best fungal growth. An important morphological hyphal structure for the fungus, the setae, was found in abundance and diverse its shape and size. In liquid culture, fresh potato broth was the best growth stimulant of the fungus, followed by Malt extract and potato broth. Addition of yeast extract to the liquid media had improved the biomass, but not laccase production.

This study investigated the optimum salinity and temperature conditions for mass culture of the brackish water flea, Diaphanosoma celebensis. Community and individual cultures of flea were maintained in 1 L beakers and 3 mL vessels (of a 12-well culture plate), respectively, and fed green algae, Tetraselmis suecica. In salinity experiments ranging from 5 to 34 psu, continuous growth of flea populations was found up to 34 psu. However, the specific growth rate and life span of females showed decreasing tendencies with the increase of salinity. The highest maximum density and offspring number were 33.6 individuals (ind.)/mL and 55.3 ind. at 10 psu, respectively. In the temperature experiments ranging from 20 to $40^{\circ}C$, population growth of D. celebensis increased continuously until $35^{\circ}C$ and then decreased over $40^{\circ}C$. The specific growth rate was significantly higher at 25 and $30^{\circ}C$ than at 20 and $40^{\circ}C$. Female life span tended to decrease with temperature increase. The highest maximum density and offspring number were 52.3 ind./mL and 46.0 ind. at $30^{\circ}C$, respectively. These results suggest that the optimum salinity and temperature for mass culture of D. celebensis may be 10 psu and $30^{\circ}C$, respectively.

This study was carried out to determine the basic mycelial culture conditions for Poria cocos growth. According to colony diameter and mycelial density, suitable media for mycelial growth were Malt yeast extract, Potato dextrose agar, Yeast extract agar, and Yeast malt agar. The optimum temperature for mycelial growth was between 25 and $35^{\circ}C$, and the optimum pH value was between 4 and 7. Carbon and nitrogen sources were fructose and yeast extract. The optimum C/N ratio was about 10 to 1 with 2% glucose. Other minor components for optimal growth were thiamine-HCl and nicotinamide as vitamins, acetic and lactic acid as organic acids, and $MgSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O$ and $FeSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O$ as mineral salts.
