Central composite experimental design was employed to determine the optimal concentration of medium constituents for griseofulvin production by Penicillium griseofulvum MTCC 1898 and Penicillium griseofulvum MTCC 2004. The optimal concentration of sucrose, $K_2HPO_4,\;NaNO_3,\;and\;FeSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O$ were found to be 48.08 g/1, 1.228 g/1 , 2.7 g/1, and 0.011 g/1, respectively, for Penicillium griseofulvum MTCC 1898, and for Penicillium griseofulvum MTCC 2004, 23.52 g/1, 43.67 g/1, and 0.0434 g/1 of glucose, lactose, and $MnSO_4{\cdot}H_2O$, respectively. The yield of griseofulvin under optimal composition of medium constituents increased by 1.26 and 1.38 times than prior to optimization, for Penicillium griseofulvum MTCC 1898 and Penicillium griseofulvutn MTCC 2004, respectively.

The Plackett-Burman experimental design was employed to evaluate the relative importance of medium constituents of each medium for enhanced griseofulvin production by Penicillium griseofulvum MTCC 1898 and Penicillium griseofulvum MTCC 2004. It was found that the medium constituents, sucrose, $K_2HPO_4,\;NaNO_3,\;and\;FeSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O$, significantly influenced the griseofulvin production by Penicillium griseofulvum MTCC 1898. In the case of Penicillium griseofulvum MTCC 2004, lactose, glucose, and $MnSO_4{\cdot}H_2O$ significantly influenced the griseofulvin production.

To extend the shelf lives of rice and corn products, the effects of the polyphosphates[$Na(PO_3)n$, n=11] on the growth of Penicillium griseofulvum and patulin production were investigated. The growth was completely inhibited in the potatoes dextrose agar medium treated with 2% polyphosphate. Moisture content had a considerable influence on the production of patulin. At 30% moisture content, the amounts of patulin produced in rice and corn were $61.40 \mu g/ml$ and $40.74 \mu g/ml$, respectively, but the level of the toxin was significantly decreased to 93~95% by addition of 1% polyphosphates. No patulin was detected in both rice and corn medium added 2% polyphosphate when the incubation time prolonged. The result of scanning electron microscopy was supposed that the biocidal action of polyphosphate on fungi was related to the collapse of cell wall structure.

Acyl-coenzyme A: cholesterol acyltransferase (ACAT) catalyzes cholesterol esterification and plays an important role in the intestinal absorption of cholesterol, hepatic production of lipoproteins, and accumulation of cholesteryl ester within cells. During the course of screening to find ACAT inhibitors from microbial sources, the present authors isolated pyripyropene A from Penicillium griseofulvum F1959. Pyripyropene A, an ACAT2-specific inhibitor, has already been produced from Aspergillus fumigatus. Yet, Aspergillus fumigatus is a pathogen and only produces a limited amount of pyripyropene A, making the isolation of pyripyropene A troublesome. In contrast, Penicillium griseofulvum F1959 was found to produce approximately 28 times more pyripyropene A than Aspergillus fumigatus, plus this report also describes the ideal conditions for the production of pyripyropene A by Penicillium griseofulvum F1959 and its subsequent purification.

국내산 사과로부터 분리, 동정한 P. crustosum과 patulin 생성균주인 P. griseofulvum(ATCC 46037)에 대하여 malt extract broth(MEB), sucrose yeast broth(SY) 및 5% glucose, yeast extract, peptone(5-GYEP) broth를 이용하여 생육정도와 독소 생성능을 비교하였다. 또한 균체 생육도와 독소 생성능과의 상관성을 검토하고, 배양액의 pH에 따른 균체 생장과 patulin 생성능을 조사하였다. P. griseofulvum(ATCC 46037)의 균체성장은 SY배지 에서 가장 높았으나 patulin은 SY, MEB, 5-GYEP 배지 모두에서 2,000-3,000 ppm의 높은 생산능을 보여주었다. P. crustosum의 균체생장 역시 SY배지에서 가장 높았으나 patulin 생성능은 5-GYEP broth 에서 배양 3주에 2,794 ppm으로 가장 높게 나타났다. P. crustosum과 P. griseofulvum 모두 균체생장과 patulin 생산능과의 상관관계는 매우 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 배지의 pH에 따른 patulin 생산능은 P. griseofulvum은 경우 pH 3-11의 넓은 범위에서 patulin 생성능을 나타내었으나, P. crustosum은 pH 3-5의 산성조건에서 높은 patulin 생성능을 나타내었다. 탄소원에 따른 patulin 생산능은 P. griseofulvum은 glycerol에서, P. crustosum은 fructose에서 가장 높았다.

The effect of gamma irradiation on the prevention of breeding a patulin-producing mold and reducing patulin content was evaluated in an apple model system. Penicillium griseofulvum, a patulin-producing standard mold strain was artificially inoculated into apples and a gamma irradiation was performed. The $D_{10}$-values of the conidia of P. griseofulvum in an aqueous suspension and the apple model system were calculated at 0.28 and 0.48 kGy, respectively. The viable cell counts of the inoculated conidia in the apples showed 2 decimal point reductions at a dose of 1 kGy. Breeding and growth of the survived conidia was prevented during 10 weeks of post-irradiation storage period, especially at $4^{\circ}C$. The concentration of patulin in the non-irradiated apples was gradually increased and reached about 950 ppm at $25^{\circ}C$ and 410 ppm at $4^{\circ}C$, but the production of patulin was not observed during storage after 1 kGy of gamma irradiation.

A total of 26 and 55 isolates of fungi were isolated from corn and wheat samples collected from different markets in Korea, respectively. The number of Penicillium isolates from corn and wheat was 9 and 33, respectively. The Penicillium species isolated from corn were P. chrysogenum (3 isolates) and P. oxalicum (6 isolates), and from wheat were P. aurantiogriseum (16 isolates), P. citrinum (1 isolate), P. commun (4 isolates), P. griseofulvum (1 isolate), P. verrucosum (7 isolates), and P. viridicatum (4 isolates). Production of major mycotoxins in the yeast extract sucrose medium cultures of Penicillium isolates was analysed. Penicillium cultures were extracted with chloroform and purified by thin-layer chromatograhy (TLC), and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Among 9 isolates of Penicillium from corn, 2 isolates of P. chrysogenum produced patulin, 1 isolate of the fungus produced patulin and citrinin, 2 isolates of P. oxalicum produced penicillic acid, 4 isolates produced pencillic acid and griseofulvin. Of the 33 isolates of Penicillium from wheat, 6 isolates of P. aurantiogriseum produced patulin, 8 isolates produced penicillic acid, 1 isolate produced patulin and penicillic acid, 1 isolate of P. citrinum produced citrinin and patulin, 2 isolates of P. commun produced brefeldin A and patulin, 1 isolate of P. griseofulvum produced brefeldin A, griseofulvin and patulin. Five isolates of P. verrucosum produced patulin, 1 isolate of the fungus produced penicillic acid, and 3 isolates of P. viridicatium produced penicillic acid.

Phenylpyropenes A, B, and C, isolated from Penicillium griseofulvum F1959, inhibited DGAT in rat liver microsomes with $IC_{50}$ values of $78.7{\pm}1.6$, $21.7{\pm}0.2$, and $11.04{\pm}0.2{\mu}M$, respectively. In addition, a kinetic analysis using a Lineweaver-Burk plot revealed that phenylpyropene C was a noncompetitive inhibitor of DGAT. The apparent Michaelis constant ($K_m$) value and inhibition constant ($K_i$) value were calculated to be $8{\mu}M$ and $10.48{\mu}M$, respectively. Moreover, phenylpyropene C inhibited triglyceride formation in HepG2 cells.

곰팡이독소 생성균과 비생성균의 혼합배양이 곰팡이독소 생성에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여 Aspergillus flavus (aflatoxin 생성균), Aspergillus nigey(비생성균) 그리고 Penicillium griseofulvum (patulin 생성균)을 5 ml의 SLS 배지에서 15일동안 단독 혹은 혼합배양하였다. Afatoxin의 생성능의 측정은 직접경쟁 ELISA법으로, patulin은 HPLC 법으로 생성능을 측정하였으며, 균의 생육도, pH 그리고 산생성량을 상법에 따라 측정하였다. 그 결과 혼합배양은 전체적으로 균의 생육도를 크게 저하시키지 않은 반면, 산의 생성증가로 pH의 감소를 보였다. Aflatoxin은 12일간의 단독배양시 145 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml이 생성되었으나 혼합배양으로 93%이상이 감소되어 10.26$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml을 생성하였다. Patulin의 경우도 혼합배양으로 단독배양시의 77.82$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml에 비하여 69.5%가 감소된 23.72$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml 수준을 나타내었다.
