The $11{\alpha}$-hydroxylation of $16{\alpha}$, 17-epoxyprogesterone (EP) catalyzed by Rhizopus nigricans is crucial for the steroid industry. However, lower conversion rate of the biohydroxylation restricts its potential industrial application. The $11{\alpha}$-steroid hydroxylase CYP509C12 from R. oryzae were reported to play a crucial role in the $11{\alpha}$-hydroxylation in recombinant fission yeast. In the present study, the CYP509C12 of R. oryzae (RoCYP) was introduced into R. nigricans using the liposome-mediated mycelial transformation. Heterologous expression of RoCYP resulted in increased fungal growth and improved intracellular reactive oxygen species content in R. nigricans. The $H_2O_2$ levels in RoCYP transformants were approximately 2-folder that of the R. nigricans wild type (RnWT) strain, with the superoxide dismutase activities increased approximately 45% and catalase activities decreased approximately 68%. Furthermore, the $11{\alpha}$-hydroxylation rates of EP in RoCYP transformants (C4, C6 and C9) were 39.7%, 38.3% and 38.7%, which were 12.1%, 8.2% and 9.4% higher than the rate of the RnWT strain, respectively. This paper investigated the effect of heterologous expression of RoCYP in R. nigricans, providing an effective genetic method to construct the engineered strains for steroid industry.

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.

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.

균주를 달리하여 제조한 귤피 속성장의 수분함량은 발효기간 동안 큰 차이를 보이지 않았으며, 조단백 함량은 발효가 진행됨에 따라 감소하였고, pH는 RS 및 RTS는 발효기간 동안 변화가 없었던 반면, AS 및 ATS는 발효 10일째 크게 감소하였다. 이와 관련하여, 적정산도는 모든 속성장에서 발효기간 동안 증가하였다. 균주를 달리하여 제조한 귤피속성장의 주요 유리당 및 유기산은 각각 glucose와 acetic acid로 확인되었다. 아미노태 질소 함량은 AS 및 ATS가 RS 및 RTS보다 높은 반면, 환원당은 RS 및 RTS가 AS 및 ATS보다 높았다. 미생물 수는 RS 및 RTS에서 꾸준히 증가하다 감소한 반면, AS 및 ATS는 10일 이후 감소하였다. 효소활성의 경우, RS 및 RTS는 ${\alpha}$-amylase 활성이, AS 및 ATS는 protease 활성이 각각 높았다. 주요 유리아미노산으로는 glutamic acid, lysine, leucine 및 arginine 등이 동정되었다. 향기성분 분석결과 총 60여개의 성분이 확인되었는데, 1-octen-3-ol 등을 포함한 alcohol류가 21개, hydrocarbon류가 14개, ester류 5개, 그 외 acids류, ketone류, aldehyde 등이 확인되었고, 3-methyl-1-butanol 등을 포함한 된장의 냄새물질이 귤피의 첨가로 감소된 것을 확인하였다. 이상의 결과를 통해 R. oligosporus는 당류 분해능에, A. oryzae는 단백질 분해능에 적합함을 확인하였고, 귤피의 첨가는 된장의 향미나 식미 등의 관능적 요인에 도움이 될 것으로 생각된다.

Rhizomucor miehei NRRL 5282 and Rhizopus oryzae NRRL 1526 can produce lipases with high synthetic activities in wheat bran-based solid-state culture. In this study, the purification and biochemical characterization of the lipolytic activities of these lipases are presented. SDS-PAGE indicated a molecular mass of about 55 and 35 kDa for the purified R. miehei and Rh. oryzae enzymes, respectively. p-Nitrophenyl palmitate (pNPP) hydrolysis was maximal at $40^{\circ}C$ and pH 7.0 for the R. miehei lipase, and at $30^{\circ}C$ and pH 5.2 for the Rh. oryzae enzyme. The enzymes showed almost equal affinity to pNPP, but the $V_{max}$ of the Rh. oryzae lipase was about 1.13 times higher than that determined for R. miehei using the same substrate. For both enzymes, a dramatic loss of activity was observed in the presence of 5 mM $Hg^{2+}$, $Zn^{2+}$, or $Mn^{2+}$, 10 mM N-bromosuccinimide or sodium dodecyl sulfate, and 5-10% (v/v) of hexanol or butanol. At the same time, they proved to be extraordinarily stable in the presence of n-hexane, cyclohexane, n-heptane, and isooctane. Moreover, isopentanol up to 10% (v/v) and propionic acid in 1 mM concentrations increased the pNPP hydrolyzing activity of R. miehei lipase. Both enzymes had 1,3-regioselectivity, and efficiently hydrolyzed p-nitrophenyl (pNP) esters with C8-C16 acids, exhibiting maximum activity towards pNP-caprylate (R. miehei) and pNP-dodecanoate (Rh. oryzae). The purified lipases are promising candidates for various biotechnological applications.

The fungal isolates of Mucorales, directly collected from Korean traditional raw materials of Nuruk (raw material for Korean rice wine) and Meju (raw material for Korean soysauces), were compared with those of Rhizopus oryzae purchased. The fungal isolates of Rhizopus, Mucor, and Absidia mostly identified as based on the morphological observations, were evaluated with the PCR-polymorphic bands. The PCR-polymorphic bands of the genomic DNA reacted with the primers of OPD series tenmer were various, but showed averaged 4 to 6 in the agarose-electrophoresis. The dissimilarity coefficient (DC) between two isolates were compared by the cluster analyses, dendrogams and polar ordinations. The isolates of R. oryzae known. showed several groupings within the lower value of DC and were divided to two groups of amylo-process and other fungi with other purposes. The isolates unidentified were identified by the DC made of this results. Taxonomy of these isolates made by the morphological observations were consistent with those resulted above in most case but not in all aspects. More works were needed with the isolates known for detail informations of Mucorales.

In this study, biological production of fumaric acid by Rhizopus oryzae KCTC 6946 using rotary biofilm contactor was investigated. In study of neutralizing agent on fumaric acid production, $Na_2CO_3$ was more effective than NaOH. After 24 hr of incubation with a rotating speed of 10 rpm at $35^{\circ}C$, biofilm was grown on and around the surface of the disks. The yield and volumetric productivity of rotary biofilm contactor were 33.8% and 0.595 g/L${\cdot}$h, respectively, with the optimum effective disk surface area of 1,583 $cm^2/L$.

Two typical microbial communities from Chinese rice wine fermentation collected in Yichang city and Suzhou city in China were investigated. Both communities could ferment glutinous rice to rice wine in 2 days. The sugar and ethanol contents were 198.67 and 14.47 mg/g, respectively, for rice wine from Yichang city, and 292.50 and 12.31 mg/g, respectively, for rice wine from Suzhou city. Acetic acid and lactic acid were the most abundant organic acids. Abundant fungi and bacteria were detected in both communities by high-throughput sequencing. Saccharomycopsis fibuligera and Rhizopus oryzae were the dominant fungi in rice wine from Suzhou city, compared with R. oryzae, Wickerhamomyces anomalus, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Mucor indicus, and Rhizopus microsporus in rice wine from Yichang city. Bacterial diversity was greater than fungal diversity in both communities. Citrobacter was the most abundant genus. Furthermore, Exiguobacterium, Aeromonas, Acinetobacter, Pseudomonas, Enterobacter, Bacillus, and Lactococcus were highly abundant in both communities.
