The optimal physical factors affecting enzyme production in an airlift fermenter have not been studied so far. Therefore, the physical parameters such as aeration rate, pH, and temperature affecting PLA-degrading enzyme production by Actinomadura keratinilytica strain T16-1 in a 3 l airlift fermenter were investigated. The response surface methodology (RSM) was used to optimize PLA-degrading enzyme production by implementing the central composite design. The optimal conditions for higher production of PLA-degrading enzyme were aeration rate of 0.43 vvm, pH of 6.85, and temperature at $46^{\circ}C$. Under these conditions, the model predicted a PLA-degrading activity of 254 U/ml. Verification of the optimization showed that PLA-degrading enzyme production of 257 U/ml was observed after 3 days cultivation under the optimal conditions in a 3 l airlift fermenter. The production under the optimized condition in the airlift fermenter was higher than un-optimized condition by 1.7 folds and 12 folds with un-optimized medium or condition in shake flasks. This is the first report on the optimization of environmental conditions for improvement of PLA-degrading enzyme production in a 3 l airlift fermenter by using a statistical analysis method. Moreover, the crude PLA-degrading enzyme could be adsorbed to the substrate and degraded PLA powder to produce lactic acid as degradation products. Therefore, this incident indicates that PLA-degrading enzyme produced by Actinomadura keratinilytica NBRC 104111 strain T16-1 has a potential to degrade PLA to lactic acid as a monomer and can be used for the recycle of PLA polymer.

For the efficient production of a new exo-polysaccharide from Ganoderma lucidum ASI 7004, the optimum conditions and methods in submerged cultivation were investigated with an airlift fermenter system. The optimum aeration rate was 2.5 Wm at the initial pH 5.0 and 28$^{\circ}C$. The increase of dissolved oxygen concentration by pure oxygen supply during cultivation did not improved the exo-polysaccaride production and the mycelial growth. The maximum exo-polysaccharide production and the mycelial growth under the optimum culture condition were obtained in media of glucose 60g/L, yeast extract 6g/L, (NH4)2HPO4 1g/L and KH2PO4 0.5g/L. Under these optimum medium and culture conditions, about 7.15g/L of exo-polysaccharide and 13.9g/L of mycelial growth were producted, respectively.

큰느타리버섯에서 철 저장과 관련된 페리틴 단백질의 발현 및 분비를 최적화하기 위해, T-Fer 벡터에 EcoRI 및 HindIII처리를 해 페리틴 유전자를 얻은 후, BamHI으로 처리된 선형의 pPEVPR1b 분비 벡터에 클로닝하여pPEVPR1b-Fer 재조합 벡터를 구축한 다음 Agrobacterium tumefaciens LBA4404 로 도입하였다. Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation 방법에 의해 Pleurotus eryngii로 형질전환하고 kanamycin함유된 MCM 배지에서 올바른 형질전환체를 선별하였고, 단백질 발현은 SDS-PAGE 및 항원항체 반응에 의한 western blot으로 확인하였다. 페리틴 단백질의 분비 발현은 batch culture 및 20 L airlift type fermenter에서 배양 시간 및 온도와 같은 배양 조건에 의해 최적화되었다. 페리틴 생산을 위한 배양 조건은 MCM 배지에서 25℃ 및 8 일 배양에 의해 최적화되었다. 페리틴 단백질의 양은 정량적 단백질 분석에 의해 2.4 mg/g mycelium으로 측정되었다. 그러나, PR1b (32 amino acid)의 분비서열은 큰느타리버섯 내부의 peptidase에 의해 정확하게 processing되지 않았지만, 페리틴 단백질은 균사체에서 최대로 전체단백질의 24.7% 발현되었고, 배양액에서는 검출되지 않았다. 철 결합 활성은 7.5% non-denaturing gel에서 Perls' staining에 의해 확인되었으며, 다량체 페리틴(24 subunits)이 P. eryngii 균사체에서 형성되었음을 보여준다. 생물학적 활성 측정을 위하여 페리틴을 함유한 분말을 제조하여 육계의 사료 첨가제로서의 사용 가능성에 대해 시험하였으며, 결과적으로 페리틴은 육계의 성장을 촉진하고 사료 효율 및 생산 지수를 향상시키는것으로 확인되었다.
