The effect of Paecilomyces tenuipes water extract (PTWE) on the alcohol metabolism was examined on rats. PTWE of 0, 30, 100 mg/kg body weight was administrated orally to the rats 30 min before oral treatment of 3 g/kg body weight of alcohol. Blood alcohol and acetaldehyde concentrations were measured 0.5, 1, 3, 6, 9 hr after alcohol treatment. Hepatic alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH), aldehyde dehydrogenase (ADH), microsomal ethanol oxidizing system (MEOS) activities were measured 9 hr after alcohol treatment. There were no differences in blood alcohol concentrations and area under the curve (AUC) of alcohol. PTWE decreased acetaldehyde concentration and there were significant differences after 6 hr in 30 mg/kg PTWE and after 3 and 9 hr in 100 mg/kg PTWE, respectively. In particular, 100 mg/kg PTWE decreased AUC of acetaldehyde by 44%. However, there were no changes in the hepatic ADH, ALDH, and MEOS activities.

This study was carried out to investigate the optimal medium and optimal dextrose concentration of 12 entomopathogenic fungi. The colonies of Cordyceps gracilioides, C. sp.(J23), Paecilomyces farinosus(J5), P tenuipes, Paecilomyces sp.(J4), Beauveria bassiana and B. brongniartii on SLA(silkworm larva agar) medium are similar to those on PDA(Potato dextrose agar) medium. On the contrary, the colonies of 5 fungi are very various according to its medium. The optimal medium for 1 1 fungi was SLA-A medium, which was better than PDA medium with regard to the mycelial growth. The optimal concentration on mycelial growth was superior to 6% for 6 fungi. When silkworm larvae was injected with P. tenuipes on SLA medium for fruiting body production. Infection rate, fruiting body formation rate, synnemata number and synnemata length were 91.3 $\pm$ 1.5%, 88.6 $\pm$ 2.3%, 56.6 $\pm$ 3.2 and 33.4 $\pm$ 2.88 ㎜ respectively. In economical analysis, the prototype medium can reduce 61.9% of production cost per 1 liter compared with PDA medium.

To develop technique for the production of P. tenuipes stromata on a large scale, the infection of P. tenuipes and the growth of stroma were investigated by silkworm (Bombyx mori) variety. Also, studied about biological activites of fruiting body formed on silkworm. Infection rate of the 5th instar larvae of the silkworm with P. tenuipes was the highest in Yangwonjam, followed by Hachojam, Baegokjam and Chilbojam in that order. Also, as the inoculation times was increased, infection rate tended to be raised. The rate of fruiting body formation of the silkworm pupae infected with P. tenuipes was the highest in Baegokjam, followed by Yangwonjam and Chilbojam in the order. But, actually the fruiting body formation of the 5th instar larvae of the silkworm tested was good in Chilbojam, followed by Yangwonjam and Baegokjam in that order in 3 times spraying inoculation. The fruiting bodies of Yangwonjam and Chilbojam infected with P. tenuipes had high amount of Mannitol, but Baegokjam and Hachojam had high concentration of Glucose on a dry weight basis. The mean content of total amino acid in the fruiting bodies of P. tenuipes was 1.03 ${\mu}mole/g$. The distribution rate of amino acid components decreased in the order of Arginine (12.2%)>Glycine (10.5%)> Proline (9.6)>Tyrosine (8.9%)>Serine>Leucine>Threonine. The most abundant amino acid in the fruiting bodies of the Baegokjam, Chilbojam and Hachojam infected with P. tenuipes was arginine, while Yangwonjam was Glycine. The most abundant fatty acid in P.tenuipes was Oleic acid on a dry weight basis. The unsaturated fatty acids such as Oleic acid, Linoleic acid and Linolenic acid accounted for more than 78% of the total fatty acids.
