Nowadays, the damages caused by molds in cotton textile goods becomes influential. In our country, however, the relations between cotton goods and molds are not investigated and studied in detail. Two hundred and fifty seven kind of mold's samples were collected in ninety places through the whole country. The molds samples are mainly gathered according to each regions and seasons from molded cotton textiles. Out of this samples, we isolated six hundred and seventy two strains of molds and the results of isolation are following. 1. The distributed molds were Aspergillus sp., Rhizopus sp., Penicillium sp., etc. among them Aspergillus sp. were most widely distributed, and next were Rhizopus sp., Penicillium sp. etc. 2. The distribution of Aspergillus sp. abounded peculiarly in the dry season, while Rhizopus sp. in the rainy season. 3. The C.M.C, descomposing enzymes forming activity on molds were greatly concerned with intensity damage of cotton textile goods. 4. The formation of C.M.C. decomposing enzyme was only influenced by physiology of each strains. 5. Regarding to the growth. a. The molds which were saprophyting on the cotton textile goods were indicated vigorous growing. b. Among isolated six hundred and seventy two strains, there were above a hundred strains which produced pigment and nearly half of them fifty nine strains were Aspergillus sp. 6. Twenty one strains in isolated six hundred and seventy two strains were indentified which can heavily damage upon cotton textile. As a results of indentification of the selected strains, the following species was abtained, Aspergillus sydowi, wentii, niger, luchuensis, flavus, fumigatus, nidulans, Penicillium frequentants, roqueforti, chrysogenum, albicans, Rhizopus oligosporus, delemar, Mucor rouxii, mucedo, Neurospora sitophila, Monilia variabilis, fructigena, Cladsporium hurbarum and Aspergillus spp. Mucor spp.

We analyzed the cultural characteristics of isolated brewing fungi for developing fermentation starters. In a previous study, we collected 87 domestic nuruk, from which 481 fungi strains were isolated and 11 were selected showing improved productivity. After culturing these 11 fungi strains in several types of media, temperatures, carbon and nitrogen sources, Rhizopus sp. grew well in MEA, ME20S, PDA medium while Aspergillus sp. grew well in ME20S and YES. Both Rhizopus sp. and Aspergillus sp. survived well at optimal growth temperatures of 30 and $37^{\circ}C$. Rhizopus sp. utilized lactose, glucose and peptone sources while Aspergillus sp. utilized glucose, mannose, fructose and yeast extract sources. ${\alpha}-Amylase$ activity was excellent in L. ramosa CN044, R. oryzae 82-7(MEB), R. oryzae CN174 and A. oryzae 58-11(WEB) culture extracts. This study suggests that R. delemar 26-4, 58-8 and A. oryzae 78-5, 37-7 might be appropriate fungi strains for fermentation starters based on development of large fungi bodies and their good enzyme activities.

The kinetics of the interesterification of triolein and stearic acid catalyzed by immobilized Rhizopus delemar lipase were studied in a batch operation. In order to clarify the mechanisms of this reaction, three models are discussed under various conditions in terms of the ratio of triolein and stearic acid. The rate constants involved in the proposed model were determined by combining the numerical Gauss-elemination method, and the trial-and-error method so as to fit the calculated results with the experimental data. The accuracy of the obtained rate constants was confirmed after they were substituted for simultaneous differential equations and the equations simulated using an adaptive step-size Runge-Kutta method. Finally, the model which agrees with the calculated results and the experimental data was selected.

Using 20 lipases from various microbial origins medium chain glycerides, namely, mono-, di-, and tri-carproyl glycerols from glycerol and acid were synthesized in isooctane. Enzyme reaction was performed at 0.35 M of capric acid, 0.025M of glycerol and the same mass of silica gel to remove water in 5ml of isooctane with 30mg of lyophilized lipase. Among 20 lipases, eleven lipases showed good synthetic activities, especially lipase from Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Lipase PS), Rhizomucor miehei origined lipase and Chromobacterium viscosum lipase (Lipase CV) showed good activities for production of tricaproylglycerol, while Lipase OF-360 (origined from Candida rugosa) and Lipase D (Rhizopus delemar) were good for production of dicaprolyglycerol. The lipases, especially Lipase PS, have high thermal stability at $ 60^{circ}C$, and optimum pH of lyophilization for dehydrating the lipase was pH 6.5.

In this study, twelve strains of brewing fungi were individually cultivated on wheat extract broth (WEB), potato dextrose broth (PDB) and malt extract broth (MEB) in order to determine the microorganism with good culture characteristics as well as with amylolytic activity. The strain cultured in PDB exhibited mycelia production from 12.6 g/L (Rhizopus oryzae KACC 45714) to a maximum of 48.0 g/L (Aspergillus oryzae KACC 46959), which was 2.3~9.2 times lower than that of the strain cultured in WEB and 1.7~14.6 times lower than that of the strain cultured in MEB. Accorfing the results, We found that the commercial strains of A. oryzae Suwon, CF1001 and CF1003 had a higher dry cell mass than the wild-type strains KACC 46421, 46423, 46424 and 46959. For Rhizopus sp., the acidity levels in WEB, PDB and MEB were 0.12~0.47%, 0.22~1.0% and 0.16~0.68% (equivalent lactic acid concentration) respectively. For A. oryzae, the acidity levels were 0.06~0.11%, 0.03~0.04% and 0.06~0.08% (equivalent lactic acid concentration), respectively. Amylase enzyme from Rhizopus delemar KACC 46419 exhibited an enzyme activity of 0.013 U and 0.019 U in WEB and MEB cultures, respectively. The enzyme activity of the amylase enzyme from A. oryzae was 0.019~0.037, 0.017~0.033 and 0.028~0.046 U in WEB, PDB and MEB cultures, respectively.

In the process of producing chitosan from crustacean shell, the use of excessive acid and alkli is causing the problems of environmental pollution and of production cost. In this study, one way to solve these problems is to cultivate fungi, then, to extract chitosan from the cell wall. By means of flask incubation and batch cultivation, the optimum cultivation conditions for mass production of continuous cultivation was found. Four strains used for the production of fungal chitosan were Gongronella butleri IF08080, Absidia coerulea IF05301, Rhizopus delemar IF04775, Mucor tuberculisporus IF09256. In flask incubation to select strain of producing much chitosan by means of experiment of the effect of initial pH, Absidia coerulea IFO 5301 had highest yield in FCs, 258.1 $\pm$ 47.3 mg/200 $m\ell$l at pH 6.5. In flask incubation under the optimum cultivation condition, temperature 27$^{\circ}C$, culture time 6days, glucose 2%, peptone 1%, (NH$_4$)$_2$ SO$_4$ 0.5%, $K_2$HPO$_4$ 0.1 %, Nacl 0.1 %, MgSO$_4$ㆍ7$H_2O$ 0.05%, CaCl$_2$ㆍ2$H_2O$ 0.01 %, the yield of DCW brought the highest yields. In batch bioreactor, the optimum cultivation condition was that cell suspended solution was 70 $m\ell$, aeration rate 0.5 l/min, agitation rate 800 rpm, culture time 36 hr. In continuous bioreactor, the optimum substrate flow rate was 4 ι/day.

In this study, we investigated the production process and the chemical composition of saccharogenic mixed grain beverages (SMGBs). Various SMGBs were prepared through saccharification with Aspergillus (A.) oryzae CF1003 (A), A. acidus KACC46420 (B), Rhizopus (R.) delemar KACC46149 (C), R. oryzae KACC45714 (D), R. oryzae KACC46148 (E), A~E mixed strains (F), A. oryzae CF1001 (G), A. acidus CF1005 (H) and A+H mixed strains (I)-starter at $53^{\circ}C$ for 24 hours. The saccharogenic power of the strains was higher in samples F and G. The soluble solid ($^{\circ}Brix$) of SMGBs were the highest in Sample C. The moisture, crude protein, crude lipid, and crude ash content of various SMGBs showed a range of 77.9~80.7%, 3.7~7.5%, 0.37~0.97% and 1.81~7.47%, respectively. The viscosity of various SMGBs were in the range of 60~528. Further, free amino acid contents of SMGBs were in the range of 347~1,352 ${\mu}g/$ 100 g, respectively. From these results, we could secure the possibility and basic information for the development of SMGBs products. For future studies, we need to improve the taste and functionality of the products.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the functional characteristics of fermented mixed grain beverages obtained using different microbial species and to evaluate their suitability for consumption. Various fermented mixed grain beverages were prepared through fermentation with Aspergillus (A.) oryzae CF1003 (A), A. acidus KACC46420 (B), Rhizopus (R.) delemar KACC46149 (C), R. oryzae KACC45714 (D), R. oryzae KACC46148 (E), A-E mixed strains (F), A. oryzae CF1001 (G), A. acidus CF1005 (H) and A+H mixed strains (I). The visual appearance, flavor, taste, and the antioxidant capacity of each fermented beverage were then assessed. The chromaticity and aesthetic quality of the fermented beverage was measured and all fermented beverages appeared yellow. The C-, G-, H- and I-fermented beverages received scores of 3.319, 3.206, 3.170 and 3.025 points, respectively, following a sensory evaluation, while the others received less than 3 points. The polyphenol content of the different beverages were similar, while the flavonoid content significantly differed. In particular, the flavonoid content of the C- and E-fermented beverages was significantly higher than other beverages. Although the electron donating ability and reducing power of the fermented beverages was very low, the superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like activity of all beverages (except the E-fermented beverage) increased in a concentration-dependent manner. Specifically, the SOD-like activity from the F-fermented beverage at 10,000 ppm was more than 50%. Interestingly, the antioxidant activities of the beverages were unrelated to their polyphenol or flavonoid levels. This study also found that the aesthetic qualities of G- and H-fermented beverages were the highest and that this was completely independent of their antioxidant capacity. Therefore, our results suggest that further studies are required to develop mixed grain-derived fermented beverages that can also fulfill a useful functional purpose.
