Sisomicin 생산균인 Micromonospora inyoensis 균주를 변이유기체로 처리하였을 때 활성이 높은 균주들을 얻기 위한 최적조건으로는 각각 자외선(UV light) 처리에서 90％, nitrosoguanidine(NTG)에 대해 99％, nitrous acid에 대해 99.3％의 사멸율을 나타내는 경우였다. 이 때 분리된 colony들의 sisomicin생성능의 측정은 액체배양 대신 쉽고 간편한 agar plug법을 사용하였다. 한편, 변이유기제로 처리한 후 우량균주를 선택적으로 분리하기 위한 방법으로 aminoglycoside계통의 항생물질 혹은 중금속염을 함유한 농도구배 agar plate에서 생성된 균주들의 화성을 살펴본 결과, 항생물질로서는 gentamicin, kanamycin 이, 중금속염으로서는 Co, Hg가 효과적이었다.

High producers or blocked mutants of aminoglycoside antibiotic-producing Streptomyces spp. were selected by application of an agar plug method and by culturing individual colonies in broth. The productivities of aminoglycoside antibiotic producing organisms were increased by selection of a high producer from colonies obtained by spreading spores of wild strain, or survived from treatment of a mutagen or from the colonies regenerated from protoplast-formation and cell-wall regenerations. Some mutagen treated colonies lost the ability to produce antibiotics (5-8%). Some A-factor negative and deostreptamine or streptidine negative mutants were obtained by N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosomethylguanidine (MNNG) treatment. Many of the survivors from the MNNG treatment lost the ability to produce antibiotics. Major colonies produced less amount of antibiotics ; only few survived colonies produced more antibiotics than the parent. Resistance of Streptomyces spp. against the antibiotics produced by itself was also markedly affected by mutagen treatment.

Tobramycin 고생산성 변이주를 쉽고 신속하게 선별하 수 있는 screening 방법을 개발하였다. 고농도의 apramycin이 포함된 배지를 사용함으로서 nebramycin 생산성이 낮은 변이주들은 1차적으로 제거할 수 있었다. 모균주인 S. tenerbarius ATCC 17920에는 저지환을 나타내지 못하고 생산성이 향상된 변이주의 경우에만 저지환을 형성하는 strain No.23을 토양으로부터 분리하여 Ps. paucimobilis로 동정하였고 1차 선별된 변이주들 중 tobramycin 생산성이 높은 균주들을 선별하기 위한 피검균으로 사용하였다. 이러한 screening 전략으로 strain No.23에 명확히 저지환을 나타내는 변이주 58주를 얻었고, HPLC를 이용하여 각 변이주의 tobramycin 생산성을 비교 측정한 결과 모균주에 비해 3-8배 생산성이 향상되었음을 확인하였다.

Effects of the inoculum size of testing organism and pH of the plate and the concentration of agar were investigated for the selection of high kasugamycin producing mutants of Streptomyces kasugaensis ATCC 15114. For the detection of high kasugamycin-producing mutants, both concentrations of agar and test organism were optimized at the concentrations of 2% and 0.35 (A$_{550}$), respectively. The pH 7 was optimum for both growing the testing organism, Pseudomonas fluorescens IFO 12180, and for obtaining more promising mutant strains of S. kasugaensis. Under these conditions, mutants had been isolated which, tested later in liquid cultures, gave higher kasugamycin yields than that of the parent strain.

A high-throughput screening strategy was developed to simplify the selection process for improved mannitol producing strain after chemical mutagenesis. Ethylmethyl sulfonate (EMS) was used as a chemical mutagen to alter the fructokinase-I gene which is an essential enzyme to metabolize fructose for growth. Leuconostoc mesenteroides treated with EMS were plated on the modified MRS solid medium containing fructose as a sole carbon source. Strains showing inhibited growth were primarily selected to evaluate the mannitol producing ability. By applying this strategy, L. mesenteroides ATCC 8293 M1, L. mesenteroides ATCC 9135 M3 and L. mesenteroides D1 M3 showed improvement in mannitol production.

The study was carried out to investigate for the property of Bacillus strains, on the native growthed microflora in Korean native soybean paste, and Bacillus strains of the high enzyme producing, were selected and identificated, from the microflora, that is, identificated Bacillus strains beared resemblance to B. subtills, on the colony, appearance was pellicle, surface's spreading, color creamy-thin browned, colony elevation flated, and edge lobated, the identfficated B. subtills strain named for the B. subtilis SCF. For the protease activity of B. subtilis SCF, according to the variation with pH, the pH stability was pH 7~8, and on the its protease activity, optimum temperature was 40$\circ$C, on the other hand, temperature of the highest stability of the protease was 50$\circ$C.

Lycopene is a carotenoid widely used as a food and feed supplement due to its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer functions. Various metabolic engineering strategies have been implemented for high lycopene production in Escherichia coli, and for this purpose it was essential to select and develop an E. coli strain with the highest potency. In this study, we evaluated 16 E. coli strains to determine the best lycopene production host by introducing a lycopene biosynthetic pathway (crtE, crtB, and crtI genes cloned from Deinococcus wulumuqiensis R12 and dxs, dxr, ispA, and idi genes cloned from E. coli). The 16 lycopene strain titers diverged from 0 to 0.141 g/l, with MG1655 demonstrating the highest titer (0.141 g/l), while the SURE and W strains expressed the lowest (0 g/l) in an LB medium. When a 2 × YTg medium replaced the MG1655 culture medium, the titer further escalated to 1.595 g/l. These results substantiate that strain selection is vital in metabolic engineering, and further, that MG1655 is a potent host for producing lycopene and other carotenoids with the same lycopene biosynthetic pathway.

Incorporating renewable fuel into practice, especially from algae, is a promising approach in reducing fossil fuel dependency. Algae are an exceptional feedstock since they produce abundant biomass and oils in short timeframes. Algae also produce high-valued lipid products suitable for human nutrition and supplement. Achieving goals of producing algae fuels and high-valued lipids at competitive prices involves further improvement of technology, especially better control over cultivation. Manipulating microalgae cultivation conditions to prevent contamination is essential in addition to promoting optimal growth and lipid yields. Contamination of algal cultures is a major impediment to algae cultivation that can however be mitigated by choosing extremophile microalgae. This work describes the isolation of alkali-tolerant / alkaliphilic microalgae native to South Florida with ideal characteristics for cultivation. For that purpose, water samples from Lake Okeechobee were inoculated into Zarrouk's medium (pH 9-12) and incubated for 35 days. Selection resulted in isolation of three strains that were screened for biomass and lipid accumulation. Two alkali-tolerant algae Chloroidium sp. 154-1 and Chlorella sp. 154-2 were poor lipid accumulators. One of the isolates, the diatom Fistulifera sp. 154-3, was identified as a lipid accumulating, alkaliphilic organism capable of producing 0.233 g L^-1 d^-1 dry biomass and a lipid content of 20-30% dry weight. Lipid analysis indicated the most abundant fatty acid within Fistulifera sp. was palmitoleic acid (52%), or omega-7, followed by palmitic acid (17%), and then eicosapentanoic acid (15%). 18S rRNA phylogenetic analysis formed a well-supported clade with Fistulifera species.

Dextransucrase의 수용체반응(acceptor reaction)을 이용하여 판노스(panose)를 포함한 다양한 당전이화합물을 발효식품에서 생성하기 위하여 고활성 dextransucrase를 저온에서 생성하는 Leuconostoc속 균주를 동치미김치로부터 분리 및 선발하였다. 동치미를 제조하여 $8^{\circ}C$에서 발효시키면서 분리한 Leuconostoc속 균주중에서 균체의 증식유도기간(lag phase), 최대균체량(g/L), 균체의 비성장속도$(\mu)$ 및 dextransucrase 활성을 종합적으로 비교하여 우수균주를 선발하였고, 최종적으로 MIDI를 이용하여 Leuc. mesenteroides로 동정하였다. 본 균주는 김치를 포함한 저온성 발효식품에서 당전이화합물을 생성하여 기능성을 부여하는 스타터로 사용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
