Open microcellular foams having small-sized cell and good mechanical properties are desirable for many practical applications. As an effort to reduce the cell size, the microcellular foams combining viscosity improvers into the conventional formulation of styrene and water system were prepared via high internal phase emulsion polymerization. Since the material properties of foam are closely related to the solution properties of emulsion state before polymerization, the flow behavior of emulsions was investigated using a controlled stress rheometer. The yield stress and the storage modulus increased as viscosity improver concentration and agitation speed increased, due to the reduced cell size reflecting both a competition between the continuous phase viscosity and the viscosity ratio and an increase of shear force. Appreciable tendency was found between the rheological data of emulsions and the cell sizes of polymerized foams. Cell size reduction with the concentration of viscosity improver could be explained by the relation between capillary number and viscosity ratio. A correlative study for the cell size reduction with agitation speed was also attempted and the result was in a good accordance with the hydrodynamic theory.

Glycerolysis of triolein by lipase from Chromobacterium viscosum lipase was studied batchwise in AOT-isooctane reversed micelles. The reaction mixture was extracted with chloroform and the content of triolein, 1, 2-diolein, 1, 3-diolein, 1-monoolein, and free fatty acid in the condensed chloroform solution was determined using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The effect of agitation speed on the initial rate of conversion was examined. As the speed of agitation increased up to 700 rpm, the reaction rate increased. However, above 700 rpm, the rate approached maximum and did not increase that much. The glycerolysis activity and the stability of the enzyme were affected by stirring and addition of histidine or copper. Addition of histidine and copper increased the rates of glycerolysis but they are detrimental to the operational stability in reversed micelles.

For the production of nonprotein $\alpha$-glucosidase inhibitor from the Streptomyces sp. NS15 strain, effects of initial optimum pH, nitrogen sources, carbon sources, cationic metal ions, agitation speed and aeration rate were investigated. Initial optimum pH of medium was 7.0. The most effective nitrogen and carbon sources were soybean meal 2.0%(w/v) and glucose 1.6%(w/v), respectively. The cationic metal ins had no stimulating effect on inhibitory activity of $\alpha$-glucosidase except Fe2+. Agitation speed and aeration rate were effective at 400rpm and 1vvm, respectively. In the jar-fermenter cultivation for 4 days under optimal culture conditions, the culture broth showed the inhibitory acitivity of 3,200units/ml, which is 25 times higher than that of basic medium (CYM) for porcine intestinal $\alpha$-glucosidase. The inhibitory activity of $\alpha$-glucosidase reached about 3,200units/ml after 4 days of cultivation and decreased gradually for a further two days.

Manufacturing process for autonomic microcapsules was introduced and autonomic microcapsules were manufactured by varying with various manufacturing process variables. Urea-formaldehyde resin was used for the wall of microcapsules and DCPD (dicyclopentadiene) was used for the self-healing agent. The characteristics of these microcapsules was evaluated through a particle size analyaer, an optical microscope, and a TGA. The various manufacturing process variables, such as pH and agitation speed of the emulsified solution, were considered to focus in this study. According to the results, the particle size distributions were affected on the agitation speed of the emulsified solution, and the thermal stability was influenced by pH of the emulsified solution.

Studies were made to investigate effects of the scale-up of stirred tank bioreactors on cell growth and alkaloids production for suspension cultures of Eschscholtzia californica. In the 1.5 L STR, cell lysis was observed at 110 rpm or higher agitation speed. The agitation speed of 30 L STR was 43.7 rpm to maintain the same shear stress developed in 1.5 L STR of 100 rpm. As a result of scale-up from 1.5 L to 30 L STR, the specific growth rate was decreased from 0.12 to 0.07 day-1. The alkaloids productivity was also decreased from 0.24 to 0.14 mg/L-day. Changes of mixing performance and oxygen transfer were studied to explain the decrease of cell growth and alkaloids production. Decreased oxygen transfer rate coefficient(KLa) and increased mixing time by the scale-up was observed at various aeration rates.

To easily separate chitosanoligosaccharides by size exclusion, an coencapsulating technology of substrate and enzyme was developed. The membrane was composed of alginate and a divalent cation such as calcium. Chitosan and chitosanase were enveloped in this membrane and the product released to medium by size exclusion. The capsule was stabilized in a 2% acetic acid solution (pH 5.0) containing 0.145 M CaCO$_3$. The leakage of substrate caused by the agitation speed was controlled by increasing alginate and CaCO$_3$concentrations. The lower limit of the alginate concentration and the agitation speed were 0.5% and 49rpm, respectively. Membrane thickness and capsule diameter were 10$\mu\textrm{m}$ and 2.5mm, respectively. By TLC analysis, the composition of chitosanoligosaccharides were mainly 3-6 mers. The molecular weight distribution of the released oligosaccharides ranged from 262 to 3624 Da by GPC.

Urea/formaldehyde(UF) and melamine/formaldehyde(MF) microcapsules containing perfume and 2,4,4'-trichlroro-2-hydroxydiphenyl ether(DP) were prepared by the in-situ polymerization using urea and formaldehyde. Effects of dispersing agent, accelerating agent, formaldehyde, agitation speed on the mean diameter of microcapsules were investigated. The diameter of microcapsule was decreased with increasing dispersing agent concentration. A slight increase in the diameter was observed when the concentration of film forming material was increased. The diameter of microcapsule was decreased with increasing agitation speed up to 8,000rpm. The mean diameters of UF microcapsule prepared at 8,000rpm are about 3$\mu$m. A slight decrease in the diameter was observed when the concentration of resorcinol was increased.

Roridin E, produced by Podostroma cornu-damae, is a mycotoxin with anticancer activity. To increase the content of roridin E, submerged culture conditions were optimized using response surface methodology. Three factors, namely, medium initial pH, incubation time and agitation speed were optimized using a Box-Behnken design. The optimum submerged culture conditions to increase the content of roridin E included a medium with an initial pH of 4.0, an incubation time of 12.90 days, and an agitation speed of 63.03 rpm. The roridin E content in the submerged culture, under the aforementioned conditions, was 40.26 mg/L. The findings of this study can help lower the current price of roridin E and promote its related research.

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of agitation, aeration and scale-up on the mycelial growth, exo-polysaccharide (EPS) production, and mycelial morphology in the liquid culture of Ganoderma lucidum. A correlation between roughness and operating variables was also studied to scale-up the liquid culture of G. lucidum in a jar fermenter. When the agitation speed or aeration rate increased, the morphological form was changed from rough pellet to smooth pellet form. Increase of the agitation and aeration reduced the mycelial roughness. On the other hand, in the case of pellet size, it was not affected by aeration. The higher EPS production was obtained at approximately 17% of roughness and mycelial pellet size of 3~5 mm. The morphology at each fermenter was closely correlated with kLa value, and it was found that similarity of morphology would be used as a criteria of scale-up for liquid culture of G. lucidum.
