An attempt was made to investigate the chemical compositions of the three plant types such as runner type(Yeoju landrace), semi-Spanish type(Suweon 15ho) and Spanish type(Wasedairu) of peanut. The proximate compositions were lipid 44.25~46.48% and protein 22.54~25.42% in various plant types of peanut, respectively. And the contents of purified free and bond lipids were 43.71~45.44% and 1.74~3.12%, respectively. The predominant fatty acids were oleic, linoleic, palmitic and arachidic acid in the free lipid, and linoleic, oleic and palmitic acid in t도 bond lipid. Pattern of 16 amino acid compositions in three plant types of peanut was shown to be similarity. Major amino acid were glutamic acid(75.30~104.66mg/g), arginine(57.30~74.27mg/g), aspartic acid(41.44~63.05mg/g) and leucine(30.80~39.00mg/g). The richest mineral contained in three plant types of peanut was noticed to be K and followed by Mg, Ca and Na. The lead content was below the authorized tolerance limits.

This review examines the effects of different process parameters on the production of lactic acid. Especially focusing on the factors such as, pH, temperature, utilization of fungi, viz., Rhizopus species and selection of carbon and nitrogen sources. The development of lactic acid synthesis is promoted by acidic environment, usually falling within pH < 3.5, which allows optimal lactic acid synthesis. Another important factor is temperature. Strains such as lactobacillus rhamnosus DUT1908, have a high tolerance to temperature as high as 50℃, which allows for effective substrate utilization and high lactic acid yield. This review highlights the need of tailoring these process parameters to the specific characteristics of the biomass and the metabolic pathways of the microorganisms to achieve increased lactic acid production.

Lactic acid bacteria were isolated from piglets and chicken and characterized. Lactic acid bacteria showing resistance to low pH and bile, adhesion to intestinal epithelium cells, and the inhibition of Escherichia coli and Salmonella spp. were identified as Lactobacillus acidophilus. L. acidophilus PF01 survived for 2 h in MRS broth adjusted to pH 2. L. acidophilus CF07 was less resistant than L. acidophilus PF01 to pH 2, but survived at pH 2.5 for 2 h. Both of isolates were able to grow in MRS broth containing 0.3% (w/v) bile, with L. acidophilus CF07 being more tolerant to bile than L. acidophilus PF01. L. acidophilus PF01 and CF07 adhered specifically to the duodenal and jejunal epithelium cells of piglet, and the cecal and duodenal epithelium cells of chicken, respectively. Both of isolates did not adhere to the epithelium cells of the various animal intestines from which they were isolated. When L. acidophilus was cultured with E. coli and Salmonella spp. in MRS broth, MRS broth containing 2% skim milk powder or modified tryptic soy broth at $37^{\circ}C$, L. acidophilus PF01 and CF07 inhibited the growths of E. coli K88 and K99, and S. enteritidis and S. typhimurium, respectively. Both of isolates were found to possess the essential characteristics of probiotic lactic acid bacteria for piglet and chicken.

The purpose of this study was to identify mungbean (Vigna radiata L.) cultivars with appropriate characteristics for labor saving culture (whole crop feeding and combine harvesting), and to investigate seed quality in the southern South Korea. Cultivar Dahyeon exhibited strong lodging resistance, excellent disease tolerance, and greater pod numbers per plant resulting in higher yield. Cultivar Owool and Keumseong, the two most common mungbean cultivars in Korea, exhibited lower yield than Dahyeon due to weaker disease tolerance or lower pod numbers per plant. Cultivar Samgang demonstrated higher seed starch content, Jangan, Nampyeong, and Keumseong exhibited higher crude protein content, and Sohyeon exhibited higher vitexin and isovitexin contents. However, no statistical differences were found among the cultivars in crude fat content. Unsaturated fatty acid ranged from 51.8 to 57.2%, with saturated fatty acid ranging from 36.2 to 40.3%. We detected five unsaturated fatty acids including linoleic acid (36.1 to 38.6%), linolenic acid (10.3 to 14.7%), and oleic acid (2.7 to 4.6%), and seven saturated fatty acids including palmitic acid (28.7 to 30.9%), stearic acid (2.9 to 4.1%), and arachidic acid (1.5 to 3.7%). There were significant differences between the cultivars in amylogram properties of seeds: the Nampyeong cultivar exhibited a lower gelatinization temperature; Dahyeon was higher in peak viscosity and breakdown; and Sohyeon, Nampyeong, and Dahyeon were lower in setback.

For the selection of a starter for vinegar, six strains of acetic-acid bacteria were isolated from traditional Korean vinegar fermented through the static method. These strains were investigated for their acetic-acid fermentation and identification characteristics. The 16S rRNA sequences of six strains were identified as Acetobacter pasteurianus, A. malorum, Gluconacetobacter entanii, Ga. intermedius, and Ga. xylinus respectively. The overoxidation of acetic acid, acetic-acid and pH tolerances, and acetic-acid production of these strains were investigated. None seemed to have been overoxidized. The Gluconacetobacter genus showed acetic-acid tolerance. Among the acetic-acid bacteria, A. malorum V5-7 exhibited the highest pH tolerance. The Ga. intermedius V11-5 and Ga. xylinus V8-1 strains produced colloids that exopolysaccharides of fiber. The acetic-acid production by isolated acetic-acid bacteria and type strain was a achieved at a shaking culture at $30^{\circ}C$ for 5 days. A. malorum V5-7, A. pasteurianus Gam2, and Ga. intermedius V11-5 exhibited the highest acetic acid production. The study results indicate that appropriate strains of acetic-acid bacteria improved the thraditional Korean vinegar fermented through the static method.

Hydrofluoric acid has been used as a novel stripping agent for molybdenum(VI) after its extraction with Cyanex 301. In the extraction step, the effects of parameters such as type and initial concentration of acid, type of diluent, extractant concentration, metal concentration and temperature have been studied. In the stripping step, the effects of various stripping agents on stripping efficiency have been investigated. Hydrofluoric acid has been chosen as an effective stripping agent, and the effects of concentration of hydrofluoric acid, stripping time, volume of hydrofluoric acid and the number of stages of stripping have been studied. Molybdenum(VI) has been effectively separated from a large number of elements in binary mixtures, with a very high tolerance limit. Finally, the optimized method has been extended for the analysis of Mo(VI) in spent molybdenum catalysts.

CHilling tolereance of plants are closely correlated with the degree of fatty acid unsaturation of membrane lipids. We studied the effects of low-temperature photoinhibition on the photochemical efficiency of photosystem II in terms of fatty acid unsaturation of thylakoid membranes lipids isolated from chilling -sensitive plants and chilling -resistant ones. To directly test the chilling tolerance of photosynthetic machinery in relation to membrane lipids, we further compared wild type tobacco plants with that of transgenic tobacco plants, in which the sensitivity to chilling had been enhanced by genetic modification of fatty acid unsaturation of chloroplast membrane lipids. The transgenic tobacco plants were found to contain reduced levels of unsaturated membrane fatty acids after being transformed with cDNA for glycerol-3-phophate acyltransferase from squash. The functional integrity of photosystem II during and recovery of photosynthesis from low-temperature photoinhibition will be discussed in connection with the degree of fatty acid unsaturation of chlorophast membranes lipids.

In order to elucidate the acid tolerance mechanism of Clostridium acetobutylicum against organic acid, the maintenance energy with added butyrate at different pH was determined. Maintenance coeffecient in acidogenic chemostat was higher at pH 6.5 than at pH 5.5 showing that this organism is an acidophile. The addition of butyrate at pH 5.5 and different dilution rate caused linear decrease of the cell concentration though $Y_{ATP}$ did not decrease with increasing undissociated organic acid. $Y_{ATP}$ decreased by increasing the concentration of undissociated organic acid at pH 5.0 by the addition of butyrate. From these results it is hypothesized that the ATP conaumption for pH stat of acidophile C. acetobutylicum is increased at the circumstance with over 30mM of undissociated organic acid.cid.

To develop a simple test for evaluation crop tolerance to acid rain disks of recently matured leaves of 12 crops（rice, corn, barley, wheat, soybean, adzuki bean, Chinese cabbage, radish, lettuce, spinach, and tomato） were soaked in simulated acid rain（SAR） solutions for 1, 2, 3, and 4 hours. Changes in pH and electrical conductivity（EC） of leaf soaked solutions and changes in the color of the soaked leaves were observed. The pH and EC of leaf soaked solutions differed depending on the pH of SAR, crops, and soaking time. Among the crops differences in pH of leaf soaked solutions were most stable and significant for 1∼4 hour soaking in pH 4.0 SAR solution, but those of EC were for 1∼4 hour solaking in pH 5.0 SAR soultions. Color of leaves soaked in pH 2.0 SAR solutions was changed significantly, but not in the pH 3.0 or higher SAR solutions. Vis-ual damages of intact leaves caused by spray of pH 2.0 SAR solution in the greenhouse was posi-tively correlated with pH changes in pH 4.0 SAR solution, but not with EC changes in pH 5.0 SAR solution or color changes of leaves soaked in pH 2.0 soulution. The pH of solution was posi-tively correlated with Ca and Mg concentrations of the solutions and EC was positively correlated with K, Ca, and Mg.
