We studied the appearance and proliferation of red tide organisms from March, 1998, to February, 1999, in the Jindong Bay. There were two red tide events during investigation, and we found that the dominant species Ceratium furca in May and Gymnodinium sanguineum in September, 1998. At surface, temperature and salinity showed 18.3~19.7$^{\circ}C$ and 30.6~30.9 psu in May and 25.6~27.$0^{\circ}C$, 28.0~28.5 psu in September, respectively. When the red tide occurred, the water mass stable. Dissolved inorganic nitrogen(DIN) and dissolved inorganic phosphate(DIP) in Jindong Bay showed seasonal variability. In May, the nitrogen was a limited nutrient in which the ratio of DIN versus DIP was less than 16 (Redfield ratio), while in September phosphate. During June to September, 1998, phosphate acted as a limited nutrient due to the increased river run-off from land. In May, chlorophyll-a, dissolved oxygen(DO) and chemical oxygen demand(COD) showed higher than 20$\mu\textrm{g}$/$\ell$, 10mg/$\ell$ and 5.0mg/$\ell$, respectively. In September, they showed in turns 100$\mu\textrm{g}$/$\ell$, 10mg/$\ell$ and 10mg/$\ell$, respectively.

In order to investigate central metabolic changes in Beijerinckia indica, cells were grown on different carbon sources and intracellular flux distributions were studied under varying concentrations of nitrogen. Metabolic fluxes were estimated by combining material balances with extracellular substrate uptake rate, biomass formation rate, and exopolysaccharide (EPS) accumulation rate. Thirty-one metabolic reactions and 30 intracellular metabolites were considered for the flux analysis. The results revealed that most of the carbon source was directed into the Entner-Doudoroff pathway, followed by the recycling of triose-3-phosphate back to Hexose­6-phosphate. The pentose phosphate pathway was operated at a minimal level to supply the precursors for biomass formation. The different metabolic behaviors under varying nitrogen concentrations were observed with flux analysis.

This study is to install the flexible vertical in order to separate not only the time but also the space in the single reactor by opening and closing the flexible vertical, and to intensify the aerobic, anaerobic and anoxic reactions by reducing the time to activate the microorganism for nitrification, denitrification, release of organic phosphate and luxury uptake of ortho-phosphate. Eventually the result of this study obtained each 90.9%, 76.4% for the removal efficiency of total nitrogen and phosphate. Also, content rate of phosphate at excess sludge was higher $25{\sim}30%$ for SBR reactor with the flexible verticals than existing SBR process. It would be concluded that SBR reactor with flexible verticals is promising for nitrogen and phosphate removal conditions than conventional SBR processes.

This experiment was conducted to investigate the response of the fertilizer three factors on the growth of Alopeuclus aequalis Sobol. var. amurensis(Kom.) Ohwi. The growth of Alopeuclus aequalis Sobol. var. amurensis(Kom.) Ohwi. such as plant height, tiller number and dry matter production were vigorous on the plot fertilized with phosphate(P, NP, PK, NPK). The main effect of plant height elongation and dry matter production were significant for phosphate and nitrogen, and their interaction effect was recognized, too. Tiller growth and panicle number were mainly affected by phosphate. The growth of Alopeuclus aequalis Sobol. var. amurensis(Kom.) Ohwi. depended mostly on phosphate among the fertilizer three factors. The effect of nitrogen fertilizer was very different according to phosphate fertilizer treatment.

In this study, the nutritional composition of colostrum milk obtained from 22 mothers delivering perterm infants and 17 mothers delivering term infants was analyzed. The energy content of colostrum was yielded based on nitrogen, lactose, and lipid data. Preterm milk is more close the nutritional needs of the preterm infant than dose other breast milk. The results are as follows : 1) Protein concentration was significantly higher, but carbohydrate and lipid concentration were lower in preterm milk than fullterm milk. Energy content yielded from total nitrogen, lactose and lipid concentration was higher in the fullterm milk than preterm milk. 2) Calcium was higher in the preterm milk than fullterm colostrum. Phosphate was lower in fullterm milk than pretem milk. Calcium/Phosphate ratio were 2.61/1 in the preterm and 2.06/1 in the fullterm milk. Magnesium was higher in the preterm milk than fullterm milk. Zinc, Copper and Manganese concentrations were tended to lower in the preterm milk than fullterm milk.

Bacterial strains which have excellent removal capacity of phosphate or reduction capacity of were isolated from waste water. Among isolated strains. WR8 and WR1 strains were showed goood efficiency in removal of phosphate and reduction of respectively. When each strain was cultivated in waste water, WR8 strain removed about 85% of phosphate and WR1 strain reduced about 85% of -N. By the result of investigation of morphological and physiological characteristics, WR8 was identified as Aeromonas hydrophila and WR1 as Klebsiella pneumoniae.

Rescently we are interested in the biosurfactant. Biosurfactant have a low toxcity and easily biodegradable compound. Pseudomonas sp. 13 was isolated from soil. This microorganism produced biosurfactant that consists of glycolipid R-1 and R-2. A time course study of fermentation indicated that the appearance of glycolipid in the fermentation broth the commencement of the stationary phase with the respect to biomass. The effect of variation of the media components such as amount of glucose, nitrogen, phosphate and metal ions has been investigated. The following values found to be optimum for biosurfactant production (glucose, $20g/{\ell}$; carbon to nitrogen ratio, 40; carbon to phosphate, 18; $FeSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O\;20mg/{\ell}$).

Anion receptor 1 based on acylhydrazone has been designed and synthesized. UV-vis and $^1H$ NMR titration showed that receptor 1 is selective receptor for dihydrogen phosphate ($H_2PO_4{^-}$). Dihydrogen phosphate was complexed by the receptor 1 via at least 4 hydrogen bonding interactions, contributing from two amide N-Hs and two imine C-Hs. In addition, nitrogen in the aromatic ring could make 2 additional hydrogen bondings with OH groups in the dihydrogen phosphate. However, the receptor 1 could make only 4 hydrogen bonds with halides. Therefore, receptor 1 could bind anions through hydrogen bonds with a selectivity in the order of $H_2PO_4{^-}$ > $Br^-$ > $Cl^-$ in highly polar solvent such as DMSO.

Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain M was cultured in a molasses-containing media with repeated transplantations of the yeasts from one culture to another to adapt to molasses. After that only different amounts of phosphorous and nitrogen sources were added to the media. And then some variations during the culture time and the effects of consituents of cell mass on the functional activity and sensitivity of the cell were investigated. The results obtained were summarized as follows : 1. In the same culture condition of yeasts, the carbohydrates and trehaloses contents were more remarkably increased when small amounts of phosphate and nitrogen sources were added, then when alrge amounts were added, but yield percentage on assimilated sugars was lower. 2. The content of trehalose in yeast cells was reduced remarkably at the early stage in the culture, but this increased remarkably at later stage. When small amounts of nitrogen and phosphate were added to the culture medium, the amount of thehalose in the cells increased greasly. 3. The more protein content was present in the yeast cells, the smaller the carbohydrate and trehalose content, but more amino-N, RNA and moisture content were present in the cells. And in this case fermentability of the cells was stronger, but sugar tolerance was lower. 4. During the preservation period of compressed yeast cells at different temperature, the higher the temperature was, the more rapidly the amount of trehalose in the cells decreased. And in the cell where the amount of trehalose in the cells decreased. And in the cell where the amount of trehalose(carbohydrate) was large and the amount of protein was small, the amount of trehalose decreased at a slower rate during the preservation period.

The effects of basal media, carbon, nitrogen, phosphate and some major macro elements on growth and shikonin production in Lithospermum erythrorhizon hairy root culture were studied. Among examined media, growth of hairy root cultured in B5 liquid medium was rapid, whereas shikonin production was high in MS liquid medium. Under B5 basal medium, sucrose concentration for optimal growth and shikonin production was 9% and 4% respectively. The growth and shikonin production on pH changes in B5 medium resulted little effect in pH 5.8 to pH 8.8 ranges, whereas growth was decreased dramatically in both above 8.8 and under 5.8. Nitrogen source and concentration effected on the growth and shikonin production. The highest growth rate was in B5 medium (50 mM $KNO_3$ and 1 mM $NaH_2PO_4)$, whereas the highest shikonin production was in the condition supplemented with 5 mM $KNO_3$ and 10 mM $NaH_2PO_4$.
