We investigated the feasibility of bioethanol production from hydrolysate of brown seaweed Sargassum sagamianum. Prior to bioethanol production using yeasts, six yeast strains were compared and the best ones in terms of the ethanol production levels were selected. Pichia stipitis ATCC 7126, Pichia stipitis ATCC 58784, and Pichia stipitis ATCC 58376 were superior to others in terms of ethanol production. These yeast strains were used for producing bioethanol by the shaking bottle culture and the fermentor culture. Out of approximately 30 g/L reducing sugar, about 3~6 g/L and 4~7 g/L bioethanol were produced in the bottle culture and the fermentor one, respectively. Furthermore, it was observed that around 12~28 g-bioethanol was produced from 1 kilogram of Sargassum sagamianum. Compared with those previously published, these data were almost three to eight times higher in value.

The effects of some nutrients and culture conditions on the growth and the production of fumonisin B$_{1}$, (FB$_{1}$) from Fusarium moniliforme NRRL 13569 were investigated in liquid culture. Xylose and soytone yielded the highest mycelial growth as the C- and N-source, respectively. The highest level of FB$_{1}$, was obtained when yeast extract was used as the N-source but no FB$_{1}$, from NaNO$_{3}$. While Fe$^{+++}$ showed inhibition effect on FB$_{1}$, production, Zn$^{++}$ enhanced the FB$_{1}$, production as well as the mycelial growth. FB$_{1}$, was maximally produced when the initial pH value and the specific surface area of the medium was adjusted to 5 and 1.4 cm$^{2}$/ml, respectively. FB$_{1}$ formation reached the maximum value (210, 000 ng/ml) in 30 days and then decreased in Czapek medium substitued with 1% xylose and 0.3% yeast extract, and supplemented with 0.2% NH$_{4}$H$_{2}$PO$_{4}$ where the initial pH value and the specific surface area of the medium are optimally controlled.

Foreign proteins, $endo-{\beta}-1,4-glucanase$ of Bacillus subtilis, preS1+S2 region of hepatitis B virus large surface antigen, human ${\beta}_2-adrenergic$ receptor ($h{\beta}_{2}AR$), and bovine growth hormone (bGH) were expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and secreted into the medium. These proteins were expressed using the alcohol dehydrogenase I (ADH1) promoter of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and secreted by signal sequence of the 97 K killer toxin gene of doublestranded linear DNA plasmid (pGKL1) of S. cerevisiae. All these proteins underwent severe modifications; in particular, N-glycosylation in the case of $endo-{\beta}-1,4-glucanase$, $h{\beta}_2AR$, and preS1+S2. Seventy four percent of the expressed $endo-{\beta}-1,4-glucanase$ was secreted into the culture medium. Highly modified proteins were detected in the culture medium and in the cell. Expressed $h{\beta}_2AR$, which has seven transmembrane domains, remained in the cell. The degrees of secretion and modification and the states of proteins in the culture medium and in the cell were quite different. These results indicated that the nature of the protein has a critical role in its secretion and modifications.

춘천시 근교의 토양으로부터 glutathione 생산균주를 분리, 동정하고 glutathione 생산 최적조건을 검토하였다. 분리된 균주는 동정을 행한 결과 Candida sp.로 판단되었다. Glutathione 생산을 위한 Candida sp의 배지조성은 fructose 1.0, yeast extract 4.0, NaCl 0.04, thiamine-HCl5{\mu}g/ml$ 및 L-cysteine 0.04 이었으며 온도는 $25^{\circ}C$, pH 6.0에서 36시간 배양하였을 때 glutathione 생산이 가장 좋았다. Glutathion 생산을 위한 최적배지에서 Candida sp. 균주에의한 glutathione 생산량은 $92{\mu}g/ml$로 YM 배지보다 약 2.5배 정도 증가하였다.

Lactobacillus sp., Acetobacter sp. and yeast were the most dominant organisms in the EM stock culture and subculture product. Lactic acid bacteria and yeast were able to grow in the fermentation process utilizing seawater. EM treatment of higher concentrations using EM stock culture and EM clay balls (1% or 4%) contributed to an early removal of malodor and an increase of DO in the polluted sediments, indicating an odor-removing activity of EM. The EM treatment of higher concentrations (1% or 4%) somewhat appeared to modify the microbial communities within the sediments, which was confirmed by existence of a few unique fragments from the stock culture based on PCR-DGGE. It still remains to be elucidated that EM cultures were directly involved in the malodor removal and potential sediment bioremediation.

젓갈에서 분리한 효모를 이용하여 아로니아의 탄닌 성분 저감화에 대해 조사하였다. TLC 실험을 통하여 최종 선별된 MTY2 균주는 18S rDNA sequence에 의해 Kazachstania servazzii으로 동정되어 K. servazzii MTY2로 명명하였다. K. servazzii MTY2의 생육은 배양 3시간 이후부터 급격하게 증가하였으며, 9시간에 최대 증식을 나타내었다. 또한, 균체가 증식됨에 따라 pH는 6에서 5까지 감소하였다. 5% 아로니아 추출물을 첨가했을 때 K. servazzii MTY2의 최적 발효조건을 실험한 결과, 탄소원 경우 glucose 10% (w/v) 첨가 시 균체의 생육이 가장 높았으며, 10% (w/v) glucose 고정으로 질소원 실험 결과 3% (w/v) tryptone 첨가 시 균체 생육이 높았다. 마지막으로 glucose 10% (w/v)와 tryptone 3% (w/v)를 고정으로 하고 무기염류 실험 결과 sodium chloride 0.1% (w/v)를 첨가했을 때 가장 높은 균체 생육을 보였다. 또한 탄소원, 질소원, 무기염류 각각의 균체 생장이 가장 잘된 배양액을 수포화-n-butanol로 추출, 농축하여 HPLC 분석을 한 결과 (+)-catechin peak는 모든 조건에서 꾸준히 존재하였지만, (-)-epicatechin peak는 glucose 10% (w/v) 첨가의 조건으로 배양할 시 검출되지 않았다. 따라서, K. servazzii MTY2을 glucose 10% (w/v) 첨가의 조건으로 아로니아와 함께 발효시킬 경우, 탄닌 성분의 저감화가 가능할 것으로 판단하였다. 따라서 탄닌 성분의 저감화를 통해 특유의 떫은맛을 감소시킨 아로니아를 식용 혹은 식품의 2차 가공물의 재료로 용이하게 이용할 수 있을 것으로 생각한다.

The carotenoid biosynthesis of a red oleaginous yeast, Rhodotorula glutinis was significantly changed when the yeast was grown on different carbon substrates. The highest carotenoid production was obtained on culture medium containing glucose when the carbon to nitrogen ratio (C/N ratio) was adjusted to 25.7. Galactose stimulated the biosynthetic rate of torularhodin, a xanthophyll component of the yeast. With decreasing C/N ratio of the medium, significant changes of $\gamma$-carotene and torularhodin were observed such that increase in the torularhodin concentration was nearly equal to the decrease in $\gamma$-carotene. It was speculated that the nature of carbon substrate affected the metabolic rate of the cell, and accompanied by the different pattern of carotenoid accumulation in the cell.

Improvement of L-asparate ${\beta}-decarboxylase$ production from Pseudomonas dacunhae ATCC 21192 was attempted by optimizing fermentation conditions. Optimum carbon and nitrogen sources for cell growth and enzyme production were determined. L-Glutamate (2%) was the most suitable carbon source, and D-glucose, D-glycerol and fumarate repressed enzyme production. Yeast extract (2%) was the most effective as nitrogen source. A slight change of pH to 6.5 from medium pH resulted in a meaningful increase in the production of enzyme. The production of the enzyme was highly improved by using 2% yeast extract and 2% L-glutamate in culture media. Maximum L-asparate ${\beta}-decarboxylase$ activity reached up to over 24 U/mL-broth by 15 h flask fermentation.

To characterize gene expression that is dependent on the strength of calorie restriction (CR), we obtained transcriptome at different levels of glucose, which is a major energy and carbon source for budding yeast. To faithfully mimic mammalian CR in yeast culture, we reconstituted and grew seeding yeast cells in fresh 2% YPD media before inoculating into 2%, 1%, 0.5% and 0.25% YPD media to reflect different CR strengths. We collected and characterized 160 genes that responded to CR strength based on the rigorous statistical analyses of multiple test corrected ANOVA (adjusted p value < 0.1 or raw p value < 0.0031) and Pearson correlation (|r| > 0.7). Based on the individual gene studies and the GO Term Finder analysis of 160 genes, we found that CR dose-dependently and gradually increased mitochondrial function at the transcriptional level. Therefore, we suggest these 160 genes are markers that respond to CR strength and that might be useful in elucidating CR mechanisms, especially how stronger CR extends life span more.
