In the previous reports, the authors isolated two strains of marine bacteria, Shewanella sp. SR-14, which has Chaetonros sp. growth inhibition activity, and Vibrio alginolyticus, that did not affect growth of the alga. In the present study, fatty acid compositions of diatoms, Chaetoceros calcitrans and Skeletonema costatum, and marine bacteria, Shewanella sp. SR-14 and V. alginolyticus, were analyzed. Changes of fatty acid composition in the diatoms grown with the marine bacteria were also determined. Major fatty acids of Sbewanella sp. SR-14 were 16:1n-7 $(29.4\%)$ and 16:0 $(19.2\%)$ during incubation in peptone broth at $20^{\circ}C$ for 3 days. The compositions of V. alginolyticus detected were 16:0 $(23.7\%),$ 16:1n-7 $(27.7\%)$ and 18:1n-7 $(21.0\%).$ C. calcitrans consisted of 16:1n-7 $(33.3\%),$ 16:0 $(27.1\%)$ and 14:0 $(12.1\%).$ S. costatum mainly contained 16:1n-7 $(28.9\%),$ 16:0 $(21.6\%)$ and 20:5 $(19.8\%).$ When halves of cell numbers of C. calcitrans were moribund cells by Shewanella sp. SR-14, the C. calcitrans and S. costatum simultaneously cultured with the bacteria were harvested by filtration with GE/D glass microfibre filter. In the fatty acid composition of both diatoms, saturated fatty acid contents in both diatoms grown with Shewanella sp. SR-14 were decreased, but unsaturated fatty acid contents were increased. The differences were greater in C. calcitrans than those in S. costatum. During the growth of diatoms with V. alginolyticus, C. calcitrans showed increase of saturated fatty acid contents and decrease of unsaturated fatty acid contents; however, S. costatum did not show sharp difference in fatty acid content. In this study, Shewanella sp. SR-14, which showed growth inhibition activity against C. calcitrans, influenced on the changes of fatty acid contents in the diatom. It was suggested that increased unsaturated fatty acid was synergistically activated algal growth inhibition activity of Shewanella sp. SR-14.

Aureobasidium pullulans, a black yeast, produces pullulan, a linear α-glucan composed of maltotriose repeating units linked by α(1→6)-glycosidic linkages. Pullulan can be widely used in food, cosmetic, and biotechnology industries. In this study, we isolated eight strains of A. pullulans from Forsythia koreana, Magnolia kobus DC., Spiraea prunifolia var. simpliciflora, Cornus officinalis, Cerasus, and Hippophae rhamnoides. Among them, A. pullulans MR was selected as the best pullulan producer. The effects of a carbon source, a nitrogen source, and pH on pullulan production were examined. The optimal cultivation conditions for pullulan production by A. pullulans MR were determined by response surface methodology as 15% sucrose, 0.4% soy peptone, and an initial pH of 7 at 26℃. Under these conditions, the predicted pullulan production was 47.6 g/L, which was very close to the experimental data (48.9 g/L).

This study was carried out to obtain morphological and physiological characteristics of ear mushrooms for an artificial cultivation. Eighteen strains were cultivated with bag culture and classified into mainly five groups such as brown, black, white, purple and others group. The highest yield was shown in 43007 strain as 98.3 g/bag and 43009, 43016, 43025 and 44035 strains were more than 60 g/bag. Among collected strains, 43007, 43009 and 43035 were selected in this study as superior strains. Three selected strains were investigated for optimal mycelial growth conditions. MCM and GPYM media were selected for the favorable culture medium. The carbon sources of 43007, 43009 and 43035 on mycelial growth were maltose, fructose and glucose, respectively and peptone was selected as a nitrogen source. Highest mycelial growth was observed when the C/N ratio was 10 for 43007 and 20 for 43009 and 43035.

Sixty strains of Pleurotus ostreatus, white-rot fungi, were screened for production ability of their lignocellulolytic enzymes to selectively wood degradation. That results were shown that all of screened strains were produced lignocellulolytic enzymes on 2nd screening liquid culture medium. However, cellulase activity of selected six strains of P. ostreatus was low in avicel-yeast-peptone liquid culture medium. In the case of xylan degrading enzyme, No. 6 and No. 38 strains produced a xylanase(above 1.0U/ml) and a 1,4-${\beta}$-xylosidase (above 0.15 U/ml). Examination of the ligninolytic enzyme profiles of selected thirteen strains of the P. ostreatus, in the presence of Remazol Brilliant Blue R(RBBR), were observed that laccase(Lac) activity were earlier reached maximum level(0.8-2.0 U/ml) and then Mn-dependent peroxidase (MnP) were reached maximum level(0.5-1.5 U/ml) in glucose-yeast-peptone(GYP) medium. On the other hand, activity of lignin peroxidase(LiP) was not detected in this medium. I selected the No. 42 strain of P. ostreatus produced high levels of Mn-dependent peroxidase and laccase based on the screening method.

Enzymatical properties of Streptomyces sp. S-45 producing chitinase and ${\beta}$-1.3-glucanase isolated from soil were investigated. Chitinase activity was 3.01(U/ml) and ${\beta}$-1.3-glucanase activity was 2.49(U/ml). The optimum medium for mycolytic enzyme production of strain was composed of 0.7% colloidal chitin, 0.3% glucose, 0.5% asparagine, 0.2% peptone, 0.01% NaCl, 0.01% $K_2HPO_4$ and 0.01% $MgSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O$ in intial pH 7.0. The optimal condition for mycolytic enzyme activities were: pH 6.5-7.0, $45-50^{\circ}C$. Enzyme activities were activated by metal ion as $10^{-2}M\;Co^{{+}{+}}$, $Cu^{{+}{+}}$, $Mn^{{+}{+}}$, $Al^{{+}{+}{+}}$ and $10^{-3}M\;Sn^{{+}{+}}$ but $Ag^{{+}{+}}$, $Hg^{{+}{+}}$ inhibited.

In this work we have cultivated several B. cereus strains in a complex LB medium in order to study the production of phospholipase C (PLC), and among them B. cereus 318 showed the highest productivity of PLC. Some components, i.e., 5 g/L glucose, 5 g/L yeast extract, 5 g/L peptone, 0.5∼1.0 g/L K$_2$HPO$_4$, 0.02∼0.04 g/L ZnSO$_4$$.$7H$_2$O and 3 g/L NaHCO$_3$ were found to be optimal for the high production of PLC by B. cereus 318. Optimal culture temperature and pH were found to be 30$^{\circ}C$ and pH 7.5 for the PLC production, respectively. Optimum reaction temperature and pH of the PLC produced by B. cereus 11 and 318 were 45$^{\circ}C$ and pH 4.0, while they were 50$^{\circ}C$ and pH 7.0 for the PLC by B. cereus 559. The PLC produced by B. cereus was activated by Mn$\^$2+/, Co$\^$2+/ and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), but its activity was inhibited by Cu$\^$2+/ and partially by glycerol, isopropanol and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS).

This study was attempted to increase the production of L-Threonine by Brevibacterium Flavum ATCC 14067, To select the strain which produce the highest threonine, mutants ere induced by N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine treatment. The composition of media and cultural condition for its overproduction of threonine were also studied. In a threonine producer, strain B-13(Met-) was the strain producing the highest amount of threonige among methionine, lysine and isoleucine auxotrophs. The following results were obtained. 1. The wild strain and B-13(Met-) produced threonine 1.4mg/ml and 4.86mg/ml , respectively. 2. The optimum composition of medium for producing threonine by Brevibacterium Flavum B-13 was glucose 10%, ammonium sulfate 4%, potassium phosphate monobasic 0.2%, magnesium sulfate 0.05%, biotin $200{\mu}l$, thiamine $300{\mu}l$. Addition of nicotinic acid also led to increase L-threonine production. 3. In addition of organic nutrients to the fermentation medium, peptone n'ere effective and addition of methionine $100{\mu}g/ml$ produced the highest amount of L-Threonine. Aspartic acid and homoserine were also effective when these amino acid were added to the fermentstion medium. 4. Cultural conditon on threonine production by B-16 were investigated. The optimum pH was 7.0-8.0. The highest amount of threnine was produced after 4 days of cultural period.

Using the bacteria isolated from Chungkookjang, Bacillus sublilis MG410 which is excellent in fibrinolytic enzyme activity was isolated. In increase the high production of fibrinolytic enzyme from Bacillus sublilis MG410, the effect of various carbon sources, nitrogen sources, inorganic sources, the initial pH of medium were investigated. The most effective carbon and nitrogen sources were founded cellobiose 0.5%(w/v) and soybean meal 2%(w/v) respectively. None of inorganic sources examined had any detectable stimulating effect on fibrinolytic enzyme production except Na₂HPO₄·12H₂O. The initial optimum pH for fibrinolytic enzyme production ranged from 5∼6 and agitation speed was effect at 150rpm. In jar fermentor experiments under optimal culture conditions, the activity of fibrinolytic enzyme reached about 5.050 unit after 48hours.
