The alcohol fermentation using glucose and lactose was carried out to study the effect of fermentation temperature on the ethanol tolerance of Saccharomyces cerevisiae STV89 and Kluyveromyces fragilis CBS397. The maximum specific growth rate and ethanol production rate were increased up to 35$^{\circ}C$ with the fermentation temperature, although maximum ethanol and cell concentration were decreased by increasing the fermentation temperature. The cell viability was also improved by lowering the fermentation temperature. Under the experimental conditions, the best ethanol tolerance of yeast strains was obtain at $25^{\circ}C$. The ethanol tolerance of S. cerevisiae is better than that of K. fragilis at the same fermentation condition. With respect to the carbon source, glucose is found to be more favorable for ethanol tolerance of K. fragilis than lactos.

The saccharification ratio and efficiency of alcohol fermentation from hot air puffed and steamed flour of husked rice and barley varieties were compared. Enzymatic hydrolysis of husked rice flour was improved by puffing, and that of glutinous rice was higher than that of nonglutinous one. By puffing of husked rice and barley, alcohol production was slightly increased, but fermentation period was reduced comparing with steam cooked husked rice and barley. Fermentation efficiencies of husked rice by puffing and rice by steam cooking were 90.72% and 87.77%, respectively. Residual reducing sugar of barley mash was higher than that of rice mash. The pH of mash was gradually increased during fermentation and was high in case of puffing treatment.

Where the industrial waste is increasing in number of kind and in quantities by the industrialization and population increases, the pollution problem is not only national but grobal question of the day. This paper is trying to invite attentions by the people who are working in both sector-natural sciences and industries in reviewing limited reports and materials. 1. By the chemical evaluation of over 20 industrial waste produced in Korea, potential wastes for commercial fertilizer would be wastes from alcohol fermantation, beer brewery, leather processing, synthetic fiber, and coffee grounds. 2. The composition of city waste is differ from other countries and sludge cake from human feces processing is promising one in the organic matter and phosphate content particularly. However, the content of heavy matals, specific order, and availability of phosphate are the bottle-neck for the development. 3. There is one commercial fertilizer from industrial waste in the market. It is very reasonable in the content of nitrogen and organic matter, and its formulation and responeses on crops. 4. Discussions were also given on the general problems in processing and marketing of fertilizers from industrial waste, however, scientists and industrial owners have to pay more attention on the development of fertilizers from tire industrial wastes because of vital environmental protection view-point.
