To utilize microbial lipases for hydrolysis of milk fat, optimum reaction conditions and characteristics of enzymatic reactions of lipases originated from Rhizopus delemar, Mucor sp., and Candida cylindracea were investigated. Optimum pH and temperature were pH 5.6 and $45^{\circ}C$ for Rhizopus delemar lipase, pH7.5 and $35^{\circ}C$ for Mucor sp. lipase, and pH7.5 and $35^{\circ}C$ for Candida cylindracea lipase. Optimum lipase concentration and optimum substrate concentration were $600{\sim}800\;units/ml$ and 20% milk fat, regardless of their origin. Km values were 6.06% milk fat for Rhizopus delemar lipase, 7.69% for Mucor sp. lipase and 7.99% for Candida cylindracea lipase. Rate of lipid hydrolysis was Rhizopus delemar lipase>Mucor sp. lipase>Candida cylindracea lipase. As the reaction time was extended, liberation of short chain fatty acids was increased. After 8 hours reaction, capric acid content significantly increased with Candida cylindracea lipase, palmitic acid with Mucor sp. lipase and butyric acid with Rhizopus delemar lipase.

The excellent strain $K_{52}$ for producing lipase was selected among 215 strains of Rhizopus sp. isolated from soil and other natural sources. The results investigated of microbiological characters and conditions for producing lipase Ivere summarized as follows： (1) Strain $K_{52}$ was similar to Rhizopus delemar in microbiological character. (2) The lipase activity was most vigorous after 48 hours in wheat bran culture, 96 hours in surface culture and 72 hours in shaking colure. (3) Surface culture was more suitable than in shaking culture for producing lipase. (4) In the case of wheat bran culture, producing of lipase was vigorous after 48 hours of culure period (3,800u/g) . (5) The optimum temperature for producing lipase was 3$0^{\circ}C$ both in wheat bran culture and in surfase culture.

1) Among 8 strains of Rhizopus and 7 of Aspergillus species investigated for their producibility of saccharifying amylase, Rhizopus delemar ND 1 and Aspergillus usamii mut. shirousamii were selected as having high saccharifying activity. 2). Since Rh. delemar ND 1 shows high saccharifying activity and slight transglucosidase activity, it likely seems suitable for the production of starch-sugar by enzymic saccharification. Asp. usamii mut. shirousamii exerts low saccharifying but moderate transglucesidase activity and is considered to be usable in producing sugar-syrup with particular flavor and taste. 3). Using the saccharogenic enzyme from Rh. delemar ND 1, a prelimimary trial was done to obtain purified glucose powders.

Nine strains of fungi which showed different colonies were isolated from Cheongdo-Banshi (flat persimmon) stored in a refrigerator. Based on morphological and molecular characteristics, they were identified as Botrytis cinerea (n=4), Penicillium expansum (n=2), and Rhizopus delemar (n=1). Of these, B. cinerea and P. expansum occurred frequently but R. delemar occurred rarely. This report of P. expansum and R. delemar on persimmon is the first time in Korea.

Background: This study was carried out to determine the physicochemical components of Rehmannia glutinosa (RG) fermented with Rhizopus delemar. Methods and Results: Physicochemical components such as changes in moisture content, pH value, total acidity, amount of reducing sugars as well as quantity of free sugars, free amino acids, and catalpol were investigated. Result showed that, the moisture content ranged from 64.26 to 65.51%. The pH and total acidity of the fermented RG decreased significantly during fermentation. The reducing sugar content ranged from 0.10 to 1.34%. The most abundant main free sugars were identified as raffinose, xylose, glucose, fructose, and sucrose. The sucrose content in 80% ethanol and in water extracts increased during RG fermentation. In total, 26 free amino acids were detected, including seven essential amino acids. In addition, the quantity of free amino acids decreased significantly during fermentation. Finally, the catalpol content of the fermented RG was highest on the $2^{nd}$ day of fermentation at 2,028.67 mg/ 100 g. Conclusions: These results indicated that fermentation of Rhizopus delemar could be used to enhance biological activity, and that fermented RG could be used as a functional material and as an edible resource in food and functional materials industries.

This study carried out to determine the physicochemical components of Cynanchi wilfordii Radix (CWR) fermented with Rhizopus delemar. The physicochemical components such as changes on moisture content, pH, total acidity, reducing sugars, and the contents of free sugars, free amino acid, cynandione A were investigated. The moisture content of fermented CWR was increased after 4 days of fermentation. The pH value of fermented CWR was decreased after 4 days of fermentation. The reducing sugars contents were in the range of 1.42-1.69%. The major free sugars were identified as rhamnose, glucose, fructose and sucrose. The content of free sugars was decreased during fermentation process of CWR while the glucose contents in 80% ethanol and water extracts were increased. In addition, the free amino acid increased significantly during fermentation. Finally, The content of cynandion A of the fermented CWR was highest at the level of 14.09 mg/g on the $8^{th}$ day. These results are indicated that fermentation with Rhizopus strains could be used to increase the bioactivity of CWR and the fermented CWR can be used as a functional material and edible resource in the food industry.

This experiment was designed to elucidate the life cycle of 7 species (Rh.nigricans, Rh. delemar, Rh.oryzae, Rh.acidus, Rh.tritici, Rh. formosaensis and Rh. japonicus) in genus Rhizopus isolated from Korean soil, so as to seize the appropriate stage for detecting their chromosomal number and nuclear size under the method of thin layer slide culture using modified Rogers(1965a) medium. The results are summarized as the folowings ; 1. The haploid chromosome number are found 16 in Rh. japonicus are 8, respectively. 2. Comparing the 7 species of Rhizopus with each other, it may be concluded that the basic haploid chromosome number of genus Rhizopus distributed in Korean soil are 8 and that Rh. nigricans is double of the basic hapolid chromosome number (n = 16). Besides them, the other two species (Rh. tritici and Rh. formosaensis) are believed aneuploids.

Free fatty acid and total saponin, which were extracted from the spent media and colony of the strain Phizopus delemar Rh-1, were qualitatively examined by GLC and spectroscopic methods and compared with these of intact ginseng media. The 18, 18, and 14 free fatty acids were respectively identified from the control, spent media and colony. Among them, $iC_{12:0},\;C_{16:2},\;C_{17:0},\;C_{18:3}\; and\;C_{20:0}$ acids were not detectable from the colony. In add ition, $C_{16:2}\;and\;C_{20:0}$ peaks were rot found in the spent media and control, respectively. The isible absorption spectra of free fatty acids and total saponins in the control, spent media and colony were invariable. In contrast, however, the infrared and ultraviolet absorption spectra showed significant spectral variations, particularly in the it finger-print region, demonstrating that the ginseng components were considerably utilized by the strain Rhizopus delemar Rh-1.
