For the production of microbial cells from cellulosie materials by cellulore-assimilating bacteria, Cellulomonas flavigena GFB 24-1, isolated by authors, utilization of this organism on some microbiological properties was investigated. The results of these studies were summarized at follows; 1. When the organism was incubated in the growth medium at pH 7.0 for 50 hours, its growth was the most effective and the level of excreted total protein in the menstruum increased continuously during the stationary phase of cell growth. 2. The optimal enzyme activity was observed in the pH region of 5 to 7 and culture period of 40 to 50 hours. 3. The microbial degestibility of cellulosic wastes such as sawdust, rice hull, rice straw, peanut hull and used newspaper was less than 30％, whereas that of cellulose powder was 47.1％ and rice straw was digested 77％ by NaOH treatment. 4. Bacterial cells incubated in the growth medium were increased up to 8％ of sustrate concentration and showed a decrease on further concentration. 5. The production of microbial cells from NaOH treated rice straw was obtained 10.6mg/ml of culture medium.

Moisture content influences physiological characteristics of microbes and physical structure of solid matrices during composting of animal manure. If moisture content is maintained at a proper level, aerobic microorganisms show more active oxygen consumption during composting due to increased microbial activity. In this study, optimum moisture levels for composting of two bedding materials (sawdust, rice hull) and two different mixtures of bedding and beef manure (BS, Beef cattle manure+sawdust; BR, Beef cattle manure+rice hull) were determined based on oxygen uptake rate measured by a pressure sensor method. A broad range of oxygen uptake rates (0.3 to 33.3 mg $O_2/g$ VS d) were monitored as a function of moisture level and composting feedstock type. The maximum oxygen consumption of each material was observed near the saturated condition, which ranged from 75% to 98% of water holding capacity. The optimum moisture content of BS and BR were 70% and 57% on a wet basis, respectively. Although BS's optimum moisture content was near saturated state, its free air space kept a favorable level (above 30%) for aerobic composting due to the sawdust's coarse particle size and bulking effect.

Bacterial grain rot by Burkholderia gluae cause severe damage in seedling and grain of rice after heading season. This seed-borne pathogen play a role as first infection agent that could be cause disease following cropping season. Until now the direct isolation of the bacteria has some trouble by interference of other bacteria existed inside seed. This study established convenient identification method as simple isolation with KB medium from seed showing symptom and using PCR identification. By this isolation method, B. glumae was isolated from 40 to 50％ in brown rice and inner hull, however, there were saprophytic bacteria and fungi outer hull. In PCR identification with Ogf4 and Ogr3 primer to these 25 isolates, the amplified products were presented in all of the collections but not in 10 saprophytic germs. The isolation rate was constant to 3 months stored seeds. This result provide a rapid and convenient isolation and identification of B. glumae.

This study investigated the potential use of soybean stover (SS) (0.1-0.5 g/100 mL)and rice hull (RH) (1.5-3.5 g/100 mL) derived biochars for removing methylene blue (100 mg/L) from wastewater compared to activated carbon (AC) (0.1-0.5 g/100 mL). The adsorption equilibrium data were best represented by Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The calculated maximum adsorption capacity was 71.42 mg/g for AC, 30.30 mg/g for SS, and 4.76 mg/g for RH. The adsorption kinetics was found to follow the pseudo-second order kinetics model. The rate constant was 0.0020-0.0065 g/mg.min for AC, 0.0069-0.5787 g/mg.min for SS, and 0.1370-0.3060 for RH. AC and SS biochars showed considerable potential for adsorption.

The present study aimed to determine the influence of various root restriction media on seedling quality and early growth of strawberry after transplanting. The root activity of the seedlings, measured 20 days after fixation, was considerably higher (0.096, 0.090, and $0.063mg{\cdot}g^{-1}{\cdot}h^{-1}$ at 420, 450, and 480 nm, respectively) in expanded rice hull (ERH) treatment than in the sandy loam and loamy sand treatments. The volumetric water content (VWC) of the root media tested across 3 irrigation regimes (15 d, 30 d, 45 d) in the nursery field was highest in sandy loam (65.0-66.8%), followed by 59.4-61.3% in loamy sand and 38.6-45.3% in ERH. When growth parameters of runner plantlets were compared, ERH treatment was found to result in the highest crown thickness and fresh weights of root and above-ground parts. This had a favorable influence on above-ground tissue growth after transplanting to plastic house soil. As mentioned above, ERH treatment resulted in the highest seedling quality and early growth after transplanting. The results of this study would serve as useful on-site data for the production of high-quality strawberry seedlings.

In this study, we measured changes in the lignin content of acidified lignocellulosic biomass such as rice straw, saw dust, chestnut shell and peanut hull and analyzed the conversion property to cellulosic ethanol. It turns out that the lignin content increases in chestnut shell, rice straw, saw dust, peanut hull order and the conversion property to cellulosic ethanol is superior in the reverse order. Thus, the removal of lignin by acidification is necessary. In addition, as the concentration of sulfuric acid increases, the lignin content decreases and the yield of cellulosic ethanol increased. The optimum concentration of sulfuric acid is 20 wt%.

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of fowl dzopping. saw dust and rice hall on the soil microflora in vitro. The experiment was designed in seven treatments with the various organic materials and they were only soil (control). soil + fowl dropping (S+F), soil+fowl dropping+rice hull (S+F+R) soil+fowl dropping*saw dust (S+F+S). soil+chemical fertilizer (S+C.F), fowl dropping+rice hull (F+R) and fowl dropping+saw dust (F+S). All the samples of treatment were incubated in $28{\pm}2^{\circ}C$ condition and tested the activity of soil microflora for 84 days The activity of fungi, total bacteria, gram-negative bacteria and actinomycetes showed the highest values at, twenty-first day and the spore-forming bacteria was at forty-second day after incubation. The number of fungi and gram-negative bacteria showed the highest values in the treatment of F+S, the spore-forming bacteria and the actinomycetes were in the S+F+S. and the number of total bacteria was in the F+C.F., but in the treatment of F+R. all the microorganism except fungi showed the lowest values in their numbers. The composition ratio of dead bacteria was higher in the treatments of S+F+R and F+R than in those of others as 70% and 40% respectively. Actinomycetes isolated from the treatments of S+F and S+F+S were identified as Streptomyces sp.. Nocardia sp., Micromonospora sp. Actinomadura sp. and Saccharomonospora sp.

This experiment was conducted to investigate the opimum media, media amount and planting density of nutri-culture for the high quality and yield of wild vegetable, Liguliaria fischeri Turez. The fried rice hull was recognized best media among perlite, sand and fried rice hull for nutri-culture of Ligularia fischeri Turcz. The yield on fried rice hull media at early growing stage was lower, but higher than in other media at late growing stage. Therefore, total yield in fried rice hull media was 15-29% higher than that of the existing perlite media. Growth and yield of Ligularia fischeri Turcz. were not significantly different between medium amounts, therefore considering economical efficiency and stability, the optimum medium amount was 105 $\iota/m^3$, Yield by planting density increased in the high density and 50 plants/$m^2$ was considered as proper planting density in nutri-culture of Liguliaria fishcheri Turcz.
