Experiments were carried out to find the possibility of an economic production of single cell protein(SCP) in mixed culture by Cellulomonas sp. KL-6 and a second organism. The second organism, strain LI-10, was isolated from the large intestines of a mouse. 1. When these strains were mixed, cell growth and carboxymethyl cellulase (CMCase) activity were increased to about 63% and 161%, respectively compared with that of single culture of strain KL-6. We found the mixed culture as a proper method of degradation of cellulose in our study. 2. Strain LI-10 was identified as E. coli. 3. This strain produced trace amounts of cellobiose, but glucose was not found in detectable amounts in the filter paper(FP) medium. 4. $CaCO_3$ injected in the medium at the ratio of 0.1% not only enhanced cell growth but also was effective as an acid neutralizing agent. 5. When this organism was cultured under the optimal medium (glucose 0.1%, $NH_4Cl$ 0.1%, yeast extract 2.0%, $KH_2PO_4$ 0.1%, KCl 0.05%, pH 7.2 and a temperature 30$\circ$C) for 5 days, a cell mass produced 1.18 g/l. The results showed the increase of cell mass up to 300% compared to 0.28 g/l produced in CMC medium.

As a result of the enormous amount of information that has been collected with E. coli over the past half century (e.g. genome sequence, mutant phenotypes, metabolic and regulatory networks, etc.), we now have detailed knowledge about gene regulation, protein activity, several hundred enzyme reactions, metabolic pathways, macromolecular machines, and regulatory interactions for this model organism. However, understanding how all these processes interact to form a living cell will require further characterization, quantification, data integration, and mathematical modeling, systems biology. No organism can rival E. coli with respect to the amount of available basic information and experimental tractability for the technologies needed for this undertaking. A focused, systematic effort to understand the E. coli cell will accelerate the development of new post-genomic technologies, including both experimental and computational tools. It will also lead to new technologies that will be applicable to other organisms, from microbes to plants, animals, and humans. E. coli is not only the best studied free-living model organism, but is also an extensively used microbe for industrial applications, especially for the production of small molecules of interest. It is an excellent representative of Gram-negative commensal bacteria. E. coli may represent a perfect model organism for systems biology that is aimed at elucidating both its free-living and commensal life-styles, which should open the door to whole-cell modeling and simulation.

The water flea has been used as a test organism of toxicity test for surface water. Toxicity test with water flea is categorized into two parts. One is acute toxicity test with observing immobility and mortality and the other is chronic toxicity test determined by survival and reproduction of water flea. Heartbeat measurement of water flea was designed as a short-term toxicity test in this study. Direct measurement of heartbeat under microscope by aid of video camera gives and early diagnosis of mortality in short time. Therefore, the effects of measuring illumination, measuring time, and non-feeding during the test on heartbeat of water flea was evaluated to establish a new test approach. Test organisms used in this study are Daphnia magna, a well standardizes toxicity test organism, and Simocephalus mixtus, a newly refined organism $IC_{50}$ values of these test organism by heartbeat measurement were compared and discussed. It was found that toxicity test by heartbeat measurement was a reproducible, easy and simple method accomplished in a few hours.

It was proposed that the substance of Kyungrak is a new anatomic-histological system in the living body and entirely different either from the nervous system or blood and lyphatic vessels. This system is covering the whole body, regulating and coordinating the biological processes that lie at the bottom of the vital activity. One of the substance of Kyungrak is acublast. The aim of this study was to isolate and culture the acublast from human placenta or blood of umbilical cord. It was found that particular cell organism isolate from placenta and cultured with RPMI 1640 contaning 10% FBS and hormones was grown for four weeks. Although this organism was different from blood cells morphologically, biochemical study of the organism is required to identify as the acublast.

The studies were conducted to determine the effects of preservatives such as sodium chloride, sodium nitrite, sodium benzoate and sorbic acid on the survival of L. monocytogenes with regard to interaction of temperature, heat and pH of the medium. Inactivation of L. monocytogenes Scott A was more predominent by combination of sodium chloride and the other preservatives than sodium chloride alone, and inactivation was more exhilarated at $4^{\circ}C$ than at $35${\circ}C.$ The organism was not inactivated when sodium chloride, sodium nitrite, sodium benzoate and sorbic acid were added to 3%, 100ppm, 0.1, or lower, respectively, but was inactivated in the concentration increased twice. In TSB(tryptic soy broth) at pH 5.0 or lower, the organism did not grow regadless of the kinds of preservatives, and inactivation effect particularly was prominent in the presence of sodium nitrite and sorbic acid. On the other hand, at pH 6.0 or higher L. monocytogenes gradually increased in numbers and the effects of inhibition was higher in the presence of sorbic acid than in the other preservatives. When the preservatives were added to the concentration commonly used, incubation in TSB at $4^{\circ}C$ gradually resulted in growth of the bacterium and the organism rapidly decreased in numbers at $20^{\circ}C\; or\; 35^{\circ}C$ after incubation for 1 week. When L. monocytogenes was inoculated in TSB containing various preservatives and heated at $55^{\circ}C$ for 30minutes, the organism decreased in numbers at all preservatives. Particularly, viability rate of the organism was the lowest as 0.07% in the presence of sorbic acid.

Listeria monocytogenes human infection is a relatively rare disease which usually is meningitis in newborn babies. The organism was isolated from blood cultures of a 52 year old female patient with meningitis. It was considered that the underlying disease, i.e. S.L.E., and the steroid therapy which the patient had been receiving played some role for the Listeria infection. The isolate was showing characteristics of L. monocytogenes, i.e. diphtheroid like morphology, motility with four peritrichous flagella, hemolytic small colonies on blood agar, growth in the presence of 7.5% salt and at 4 C, and inducing monocytosis in an experimentally infected rabbit. Serologically the organism was identified as L. monocytogenes 4b. The isolate was showing susceptibility to many antibiotics tested including ampicillin, penicillin and tetracycline which were the recommended drugs of choice for the treatment of Listeriosis. It is the general opinion that Listeriosis is not so rare as literatures are showing. It is considered that some of the isolate of the organism from clinical specimens are mistakenly discarded due to the fact that the organism shows diphtheroid like morphology and that not many laboratories are able to recognize the organism. Literatures are seen which emphasize more careful examination of gram positive bacilli with diphtheroid like morphology especially when they are isolated from blood or from spinal fluid of patient.

Paulowina witches'-broom mycoplasma-like organism (PWB-MLO) was transmitted experimentally to periwinkle (Catharanthus roseus L.) plant by tobacco leaf bug (Cyrtopeltis tenuis Reuter). Adults of the leaf bugs were allowed to feed on the witch's-broom infected paulownia (Paulownia tomentoas Steud.) trees for three weeks to insure the acquisition of PWB-MLO and then transferred to healthy seedlings of periwinkle and paulownia plants. In 25∼35 days after transfer of the viruliferous leaf bugs, six out of the ten periwinkle plants showed‘little-leaf’symptoms, while the paulowina seedlings remained symptomless. Presence of MLO in the infected periwinkle tissue was diagnosed by fluorescence microscopy and MLO particles were observed under electron microscope, confirming the transmission of PWB-MLO to periwinkle.
