  • Cultural conditions for the formation of extracellular xylanase by Candida sp. X-6-41 were investigated. The xylanase was not produced in culture medium containing polypeptone or yeast extract as a nitrogen source, respectively, whereas the enzyme w8s produced in chemically defined medium containing (NH$_4$)$_2$SO$_4$as a sole nitrogen source. The xylanase production was affected by the amino acids such as isoleucine and tryptophan. The enzyme production of the strain was completely inhibited by the addition of isoleucine in the culture medium, but enhanced by tryptophan below the concentration of 25$\mu$g/$m\ell$.

  • Effect of arabinose on xylitol production from xylose by Candida parapsilosis KFCC 10875 was investigated at the different concentrations of arabinose. When the arabinose was added in xylose medium, the cell growth increased and the final cell concentration was maximum at 10 g/l arabinose. The consumption rate of arabinose was greatly lower than those of xylose and arabinose. Above 10 g/l arabinose, it was not completely consumed and then remained in the medium during xylitol fermentation. Estimated cell mass obtained from arabinose increased with increasing consumed arabinose. As arabinose concentration was increased, xylitol production decreased but ethanol production increased. The inhibitory effect of ethanol, a major by-product, on xylitol production was also studied. As the ethanol concentration added increased, xylitol production decreased. When cells were inoculated in a xylose medium after removing ethanol, xylitol production was not inhibited. This results suggested that the inhibition of xylitol production resulted from ethanol which was formed by adding arabinose. It was also interesting that total products(xylitol and ethanol) yield was constant regardless of the arabinose concentration. This result suggested that the total amount of products such as xylitol and ethanol from xylose was constant regardless of the arabinose concentration and arabinose shifted the carbon flow from xylitol to ethanol.

  • In order to produce xylitol with high yield, experiments were carried out to develope xylitol dehydrogenase (XDH) defective m mutant from Pichia stipitis and to investigate the xylit이 fermentation characteristics of mutant strain. After treatment of P s stipitis with EMS, mutant PXM-4 was selected based on the XDH activity and xylitol production capability. Among the tested c cosubstrates, galactose was selected as an adequate cosubstrate on xyl뻐I production of mutant PXM-4. With the increase of galactose concentration, xylitol production was decreased because the transport of xylose into cell was inhibited by g galactose. The optimal concentration of galactose for the production of xylitol using 20 g/L xylose was 20 g/L. Under this c condition, maximum concentration of xylitol and yield were 14.4 g/L and 97%, respectively. In order to prevent the inhibitory e effect of xylose transport by galactose, galactose was fed with low concentration and the concentration of xylitol produced w was increased up to 25 g/L. In the fermentation of corn cob hydrolyzate by mutant PXM-4, xylose was completely converted t to xylit이 with a 100% yield in 4 days culture.

  • The pathogenicity for one hundred strains of domestic and foreign Y. enterocolitica was tested with HEp-2 cell invasion method as a reference. The serotyping, biotyping, PCR and esculin hydrolyis, salicin fermentation, pyrazinamidase activity, indole production, xylose fermentation, CRMOX and autoagglutination were compared to determine the possibility of pathogenic detection method. According to the test results, serotyping was limited to verify pathogenicity, however, biotyping was quite related to pathogenicity up to 99%. The biotype 1A strains were non-pathogenic, while all strains of biotype $1B{\sim}4$ showed pathogenicity with the exception of one strain belonged to type 1B. The esculin and salicin test results were completely close and correlated to pathogenicity up to 99%. The HEp-2 cell invasion and pyrazinamidase test were related to pathogenicity by 95%. Biochemical tests such as D-xylose fermentation, CRMOX agar test and autoagglutination in broth were effective as a support test. It is strongly recommended that sequencial esculin test and PCR test could be done to verify pathogenicity of Y. enterocolitica as the easiest and accurate procedure.

  • Three strains able to efficiently produce ethanol from cellulosic hydrolysates were isolated from soil samples by enrichment culture in liquid saccharified wheat bran medium. The profiles of physiological and biochemical properties of two yeasts KM-09 and KM-402 and a bacterium Hg-225 were almost identical from those of Candida sp. and Klebsiella sp., respectively. Strains KM-09 and HG-225 used xylose and cellobiose as fermentable sugars, and HG-225 had a wide range of sugar utilization for ethanol fermentation. The optimal pH and temperature for growth of KM-09, KM-402 and HG-225 were 5.8, 5.6 and 6.8 and 32t, $30^{\circ}C$~ and $38^{\circ}C$, respectively. During the ethanol fermentation in saccharified wheat bran by the isolated strains, optimal temperature for ethanol production was more or less higher than those for growth, and addition of 0.2% (w/v) $MgSO_4$, into the medium enhanced ethanol productivity. Of the three strains ethanol content of KM-09 was the highest with about 2.3% (v/v), and ethanol production rate of HG-225 was faster than the others and maximum productivity was after 4 days. KM-09 (1.42% v/v) and HG-225 (1.05%, vlv) produced ethanol from 4% (wIv) xylose but growth rate was slower than on glucose. Otherwise KM-402 showed the highest ethanol productivity on glucose, but no ethanol was detected on xylose and cellobiose.

  • P. stipitis CBS5776 was cultivated to examine the characteristics of ethanol fermentation for hexoses (mannose, g1ucose, and galactose) and pentoses(xylose and arabinose). Glucose was the best carbon source among the sugars used in terms of ethanol yield. Glucose was used to produce ethanol with an yield coefficient 0.376g ethanol/g glucose, whereas mannose was converted to produce ethanol with an yield coefficient 0.326g ethanol/g mannose. P. stipitis CBS5776 was also grown in a mixture of sugars to study the pattern of carbon utilization. The yeast utilized glucose and mannose firsts and then galastose and xylose as carbon sources. Arabinose was partially used for biomass when it was present as a sole carbon source, but it was not metabolized at all in a mixture of carbon sources. P. stipitis produced $12.2g/\ell$ ethanol with a yield coefficient 0.332 g ethano1/g sugar in a mixture of sugars.

  • In order to improve the quality of foxtail millet wine, zymological properties by isolated strains from Nuruk were investigated. Saccharomyces sp Y5-1 as brewing yeast, Aspergillus sp. M6-3, Aspergillus awamori 6970, and Aspengillus usamii mut. shirousamii 6959 (KCTC) as saccharifying molds were used, respectively. Acid content, soluble solids, color (b) and alcohol contents were increased during fermentation. Ethanol concentration of millet wine made with Nuruk by Aspergillus awamori 6970 and Aspergillus usamii mut. shirousamii 6959 were higher than the other, 10.6 and 10.1% respectively. Citric acid was only detected on $1{\sim}2$ day starting fermentation. Oxalic acid, lactic acid and acetic acid of millet wine were high in the wine made of Nuruk by Aspergillus usamii mot. shirousamii 6959, Aspergillus awamori 6970 and traditional Nuruk, respectively. During fermentation, glucose and xylose was higher than the others. Xylose was increased, but most of other sugar were decreased during fermentation. Acetone, ethyl acetate, methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, iso-buthanol and iso-amyl alcohol were detected In the wine made with Nuruk by Aspergillus awamori and Aspergillus usamii mut. shirousamii, iso-imyl alcohol and ethanol were high. On sensory evaluation, the wine made with Nuruk by Aspergillus usamii mut. shirousamii was the best on color and taste.

  • Medium optimization for xylitol production from xylose by Candida parapsilosis ATCC 22019 mutant was performed. Effect of various nitrogen sources on xylitol production was investigatied. Of inorganic nitrogenous compounds, ammonium sulfate was effective for xylitol production and yeast extract was the most suitable orangic nitrogen nutrient for enhancement of xylitol production. Effect of inorganic salts such as KH$_{2}$PO$_{4}$ and MgSO$_{4}$-7H$_{2}$0 on xylitol production was also studied. Optimal medium was selected as xylose of 50 g/l, yeast extract of 5 g/l, (NH4$_{4}$)$_{2}$SO$_{4}$ of 5 g/l, KH$_{2}$PO$_{4}$ of 5 g/l, MgSO$_{4}$-7H$_{2}$O of 0.2 g/l. In a fermentor by using the optimal medium, a final xylitol concentration of 37 g/l could be obtained from 50 g/l of xylose with a xylitol yield of 74% and a xylitol productivity of 0.58 g/1-hr. At 300 g/l xylose, fermentation was also carried out and then a final xylitol concentration of 242 g/l was obtained at 272 hours. It was corresponding to xylitol yield of 80.7% and xylitol productivity of 0.58 g/1-hr.

  • Xylose represents a major component of cellulosic materials. This paper describes patterns of ethanol fermentation by Saccharomyces cerevisiae from xylulose, which is an isomer of xylose. Special emphasis was placed on the effects of xylulose concentration and growth temperature on cell growth and ethanol yield. The maximum specific growth of $0.087 1/hr^{-1}$ was obtained at an initial xylulose concentration of 5 g/1. The ethanol yield was propotional to initial xylulose concentrations. A xylulose concentration of 16 g/l resulted in the maximum ethanol yield of 0.49 g EtOH/g xylulose, which corresponds to 90% of a theoretical value. It is interesting to nota that xylulose metabolism was accelerated by the presence of glucose as a carbon source.
