To improve the fermentation characteristics(such as starch-degradability, ethanol tolerance, sugar and high-temperature tolerance) of recombinant haploid yeast Saccharomyces diastaticus K114, hybridization technique was used. The hybridization partner was S. diastaticus 1177 which had good glucoamylase activity and fermentabi- lity. The best hybrid HH64 showed improved ethanol tolerance, sugar and high-temperature tolerance. Especia- lly, the starch-fermentability was significantly improved, since the hybrid produced 1.60% (w/v) ethanol from 4% (w/v) starch, while the recombinant haploid K114 produced 1.30% (w/v) ethanol. The optimum temperature and pH for the starch-fermentation by the hybrid HH64 was 30$\circ$C and 5, respectively. The hybrid yeast HH64 produced 7.5% (w/v) ethanol directly from 20% (w/v) starch.

Quality of Sikhe, the Korean conventional rice beverage depended on the characteristics of saccharifying activities of various amylases, intrinsic flavour, budding rate and so on. To improve the quality of Sikhe, characteristics of malt produced with wheat, covered barley and naked barley were evaluated. The germination rate of wheat was 82%, but those of naked and covered barley were 69% and 56% for 6 days, respectively. Malt prepared from germinated grains with 1.5~2.0 times length of buds had the highest saccharifying power. when the extraction of enzyme and reducing sugar was carried out at 5$0^{\circ}C$ for 4 hr, saccarifying power and reducing sugar contents were the highest. Malt of wheat had the highest saccharifying power. Malt of naked barley had higher saccharifying power than that of covered barley. The amylase types of wheat, covered barley and naked barley were similar to $\beta$-amylase.

In liquid cultures using sucrose media, the coculture of Monascus with recombinant Saccharomyces cerevisiae expressing the glucoamylase gene from Aspergillus niger enhanced red pigment production by approx. 19％, compared with the coculture of wild type S. cerevisiae. Coculture with recombinant S. cerevisiae was more effective than with wild type S. cerevisiae for Monascus red pigment production. Cocultures of Monascus with commercial amylases of Aspergillus also induced high production of pigment and morphological changes in a solid culture using sucrose media.

Transformed, hybrid strains of the yeast Saccharomyces capable of simultaneous secretion of both glucoamylase and ${\alpha}-amylase$ have been produced. These strains can carry out direct, one-step assimilation of starch with conversion efficiency greater than 93% during a 5 day growth period. One of the transformants converts 92.8% of available starch into reducing sugars in only 2 days. Glucoamylase secretion by these strains results from expression of one or more chromosomal STA genes derived from Saccharomyces diastaticus. The strains were transformed by a plasmid(pMS12) containing mouse salivary ${\alpha}-amylase$ cDNA in an expression vector containing yeast alcohol dehydrogenase promoter and a segment of yeast $2{\mu}$ plasmid. The major starch hydrolysis product produced by crude amylases found in culture broths is glucose, indicating that ${\alpha}-amylase$ and glucoamylase act cooperatively.

Effects of acute anoxia on carbohydrate hydrolytic enzyme activities and free amino acid contents in malt were examined. Malts were prepared with barley grains germinated for 7 days which contained the highest levels of amylolytic and(1-3,1-4)-$\beta$-glucanase activities. $\alpha$-Amylase and $\beta$-amylase activities in malts were not significantly affected by anoxia for 5 or 10 h.(1-3,1-4)-$\beta$-Glucanase activity, however, decreased about 7 to 10% by anoxia for 5 or 10 h. Alanine and $\gamma$-aminobutyric acid content changed drastically. Alanine contents in malts increased by 2.2- and 2-fold, and $\gamma$-aminobutyric acid contents by 1.4- and 1.9-fold under anoxia for 5 and 10 h, respectively.

Growth and bacteriocin production by Lactobacillus sp. GM7311 in tofu residue treated with two commercial amylases were investigated. The optimal condition of amylase Ⅰ(liquefied enzyme for sauce) and Ⅱ(multienzyme 2,000) for the enzyme reaction was showed at pH 6.0 and 4.0, respectively. The optimal temperature was 40oC both. At the enzyme dosage 4% and 3% and reaction time 1hr, about 2% of reduced sugar needed bacteriocin production was obtained. The enzymatic treatment of tofu residue enhanced bacteriocin production by lactic acid bacteria, particularly in the tofu residues added 2.0% yeast extract. But, we couldn't see the increment of bacteriocin activity in the tofu residues added other nitrogen sources such as proteose peptone No. 3 and lab lemco powder. Also, in the comparision of amylase I and Ⅱ, bacteriocin activity in the tofu residue treated with amylase Ⅰ was better than that of amylase Ⅱ.

To find emylase inhibitors produced by microorganisms from soil, a strain which had a strong inhibitory activity against bacteria .alpha.-amylase was isolated from the soil smaple collected in Seoul. The morphological and physiological characteristics of this strain on several media and its utilization of carbon sources showed that it was one of Streptomyces specties according to the international Streptomyces Project method. The amylase inhibitor of this strain was purified by means of acetone precipitation, adsorption on Amberlite XAD-2, and column chromatography on Amberlite CG-50 and SP-Sephadex C-25. The inhibitor was stable at the pH range of 1-10 and at 100.deg.C for half an hour, and had inhibitory activities against other amylases such as salivary .alpha.-amylase, pancreatic .alpha.-amylase, fungal .alpha.-amylase and glucoamylase. The kinetic studies of the inhibitor showed that its inhibitory effect on starch hydrolysis by .alpha.-amylase was non-competitive.

Amylases catalyze the hydrolysis of starch material and play central roles in carbohydrate metabolism. The structure and a size exclusion column chromatography proved that the enzyme is a dimer in solution. The N -terminal segment of the enzyme folds into a distinct domain and comprises the enzyme active site together with the central (${\alpha}$/ ${\beta}$)$\sub$8/ barrel of the adjacent subunit.(omitted)

Dextrinogenic and glucoamylase activities of Aspergillus isolated from various habitat-substrates collected through South Korea are measured, and their amylase activities are surveyed in taxonomical and ecological viewpoints. 1. A. flavous group and A.wentii group exhibited higher activities for both amylases than others. 2. In the relations between amylase activity of Asperguillus and their habitat-sub-strates, the strains isolated from meju and cereals exhibited predominant dextrinogenic amylase activity. 3. Dextrinogenic amylase activity of Aspergillus is higher in the strains isolated from southern coast than the other regions. 4. Among the 601 strains of Aspergillus surveryed, strain No.74 and strain No.421 exhibited the most predominant activity for dextrinogenic amylase and glucoamylase, respectively.
