The production of poly-$\beta$-hydroxybutyrate(PHB) from methanol by batch and fed-batch cultivations of Methylobacterium sp. GL-10 was studied. PHB accumulation was stimulated by the nutrients deficiency including, NH4+, SO42-, and K+. The nitrogen deficiency was the most critical factor for PHB accumulation. In batch cultivation, the maximum cell concentration and PHB content were 1.86g/l and 0.62g/l, respectively, with 1.0%(v/v) of methanol and 0.5g/1 of ammonium sulfate. The mass doubling time of Methylobacterum sp. GL-10 was in the range of 4-5 hrs. The cell growth and PHB accumulation were severely inhibited at the methanol concentration over than 2% (v/v). To overcome methanol Inhibition, constant feeding and intermittent feedillg fed-batch cultivations were adopted, using C/N molar ratio as a control factor. In constant feeding fed-batch process, cell concentration was increased up to 2.67g/1, and PHB yield was enhanced from 0.33 of batch culture to 0.53. The relatively low cell concentration was caused by methanol accumulated in culture broth at late growth phase. To prevent methanol accumulation and to maximize PHB production, DO-state intermittent fed-batch cultivation was attempted. The cell and PHB concentration was reached up to 4.55g/1 and 1.80g/1, respectively. It was possible to maintain methanol concentration low and also to feed nutrient of desired C/N molar ratio.

Fast delivery of construction projects provides more value to project owners. Batch production, which is production not in single pieces, but in batches, is a common approach in repetitive construction projects such as multi-unit residential building construction projects. In batch production, the use of a small batch size allows the early start of subsequent activities, and thus can lead to early completion of projects. In addition to batch size, balance between productivities in construction activities can affect project duration. However, the impact of the balance between productivities with regard to their order on project duration has not been studied. The main goal of this study is to test a hypothesis, which is that the order of construction activities' unbalanced productivities affects the amount of time reduction that can be achieved by using a small batch size. A computer-based simulation model was developed, and five different cases were simulated to test the hypothesis. The conclusion of the simulation result is that the order of productivities does not affect the time reduction achieved by using a small batch size. It is expected that the findings of this study can help general contractors make decisions in terms of batch size.

Bioethanol has recently attracted much attention as a sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative energy source. This study aimed to develop a potential process for bioethanol production by fed-batch fermentation using instant dry yeast. To obtain the highest cell growth, we studied the influence of the initial sugar concentrations and pH of sugarcane molasses in batch fermentation. The batch system employed three levels of sugar concentrations, viz. 10%, 15%, 20% (w/v), and two levels of pH, 5.0 and 5.5. The highest cell growth was achieved at 20% (w/v) and pH 5.5 of molasses. The fed-batch system was then performed using the best batch fermentation conditions, with a molasses concentration of 13% (w/v) which resulted in high ethanol concentration and fermentation efficiency of 15.96% and 89%, respectively.

Ordinary heterotrophic organism (OHO) active biomass plays key roles in biological wastewater treatment processes. However, due to the lack of measurement techniques, the OHO active biomass exists hypothetically within the design and simulation of biological wastewater treatment processes. This research was purposed to develop a quick and easy quantifying technique for the OHO active biomass applying a modified batch aerobic growth test. Two nitrification-denitrification activated sludge systems, with 10- and 20-day sludge ages, were operated to provide well-cultured mixed liquor to the batch tests. A steady state design model was firstly applied to quantify the "theoretical" OHO active biomass concentration of the two parent systems. The mixed liquor from the parent systems was then inoculated to a batch growth test and a batch digestion test to estimate the "measured" OHO active biomass concentration in the mixed liquor. The measured OHO active biomass concentrations with the batch growth test and the batch digestion test were compared to the theoretical concentrations of the parent system. The measured concentrations with the batch growth test were generally smaller than the theoretical concentrations. However, the measured concentrations with the batch aerobic digestion tests showed a good correlation to the theoretical concentrations. Thus, a different microbial growth condition (i.e., a higher food/biomass ratio) in the batch growth test, compared to the parent system or the batch digestion test, was found to cause underestimation of the OHO active biomass concentrations.

석유화학공업으로 대표되는 공정산업의 연속공정들은 지난 20여 년간 모델예측제어를 중심으로 고급제어(APC)기법들이 도입되며 운전성 및 생산성 향상에 많은 진보를 이루었다. 이에 반하여 중합반응기를 비롯한 각종 회분공정에는 APC 기법의 도입이 아직 활발히 이루어지지 않고 있다. 이것은 회분공정의 독특한 문제점을 극복하며 원하는 성능을 보장할 수 있는 방법론이 제시되지 못한 데에 가장 큰 이유가 있다고 할 수 있다. 그러나 최근 이러한 문제점들을 극복할 수 있는 APC 기법들이 반복학습제어(ILC)에 근거하여 개발되며 회분공정 APC 환경에 큰 변화가 일어나고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이들 기법들이 다양한 실제 공정에 활발하게 적용되어 운전을 개선할 수 있기를 기대하며, ILC를 기반으로 한 최근의 회분공정 APC 연구동향을 이론과 실례를 통해 소개한다.

Methylomonas mucosa를 이용하여 세포외 다당류의 생산을 알아보았다. 본 미생물은 성장을 위해 메탄올을 탄소원으로 이용하여 세포외 다당류를 생산한다. 효과적인 발효 공정 시스템의 개발올 위해 회 분식, 유가식, 연속식 배양을 수행하여 각각의 당류 에 대한 생산성을 알아보았다. 플라스크 배양에서 메탄올이 약 1 % (v/v) 이상에서 다당류의 생산과 세포의 성장은 저해되었다. 1% (v/v)에서 최대 비성장속도를 나타내었고 C/N 비율이 높을수록 다당류의 생산은 많았다. 다당류의 생산에 $Mg^{2+}$ 이온 농도가 크게 영향을 줌을 확인할 수있었다. 유가식 배양에서는 다당류의 농도가 회분식에 비 해 4배 이상 높았으나 수율은 오히려 감소하였다. 연속주입을 통한 유가식 배양은 간헐적 주업방법보다 생산성이 높았다. 이는 간헐적 주입에서 나타날 수 있는 메탄올에 의한 제한이나 저해가 없었기 때 문으로 보여진다. 연속조엽은 산소 제한을 피하기 위해 순수산소를 공급하였다. 희석률이 O.21h-1까지 증가하여도 수융 과 생산성은 증가하였다. 생산된 다당류 용액의 점도는 다당류의 증가에 따라 지수적으로 증가하였다.

Bacillus subtilis WB700에서 P43 프로모터를 사용하여 staphylokinase를 생산하기 위하여 배지 최적화 및 회분식 배양과 유가식 배양 두가지 시스템을 비교하였다. 여러 가지 질소윈 중에서는 tryptone이 가장 좋은 질소원 이었으며, MSR 배지를 사용한 경우 tryptone 15 g/L일 경우에 최적조건임을 알아내었다. MSR 배지에시 포도당을 제한 기질로 사용할 경우는 5 g/L일 때가 SAK의 발현에 최적 조건이었다. MSR 배지를 기본으로 이용하여 포도당 공급을 조절함으로서 발효조 내의 DO를 30%로 유지한 결과 오히려 MSR 배지를 이용하여 회분식 발효를 한 경우보다 좋지 못한 결과를 얻었으며, 이는 B. subtilis 숙주의 영양요구적 특이성과 P43 promoter의 stress 발생시 주 발현되는 특성 등에 기인한 것이라고 사료된다. MSR 배지를 이용하여 회분식 발효를 하였을 때 SAK 활성은 2880 unit이었고, 이때 배지 내로 분비된 SAK 농도는 455 mg/L이었다.

천연풍미소재로 정미성 nucleotide 함량이 높은 효모추출물을 만들기 위해서 세포내 RNA 함량이 높은 효모균주 S , cerevisat MTY 62를 선별하여TRh, 당밀과 CSL배지로 발효조 회분배양과 유가배양을 수행하였다. 여러가지 단양한 간헐적 유가배양 중에서 40% 당밀과 20% CSL의농축기질액을 50ml 다섯번 공급하는 간헐적 유가배양 (IFB-IV) 에서 최대 세포농도는 33.8g-DCW/1 RNA 농도는 5221 mg/l RNA 함량은 153 mg-RNA/g DCW 값을 나타내었다. 일정속도의 유가배양에서는 기질 요액(40% molasses, 20% CSL)을 배양 9~13시간에서는 49 ml/h 13~21 이시간에서는 24 ml/h 그 이후로는 18 ml/h 로 기질공급속도를 단계적으로 감소시키는 유가배양 (CFB-III) 에서 42.7g-DCW-1 최대 세포농도를 5545 mg RNA/1의 RNA농도를 보여, 간헐적 및 일정 속도 유가배양 중에서 가장 높은 세포농도와 RNA 농도 값을 나타내었다. 그러나 RNA 함량 면에서는 가장 낮은 130 mg-RNA/g-DCW 값을 보여다. 즉 세포농도가 높을수록 RNA 함량은 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 이 상의 두 가지 유가배양에 대해 비증식속도 ($\mu$)에 따른 RNA 함량을 조사한 결과, $\mu$값이 증가할수록 RNA 함량도 증가하였다. 그러나 일정한 $\mu$에서는 일정속도의 기질공급 방식보다 간헐적 기질공급 방식이 더 높은 RNA 함량을 나타내었다.

This paper deals with the problem of batching and scheduling of jobs whose processing times are different respectively But, they are given as not the exact value but the range from the lower limits to the upper, which makes it possible to group jobs into batches. The grouping of jobs is desirable because of the capability of the batch processor to accommodate several jobs at once. The time required to process the jobs in any batch depends on their lower limit processing times. Once processing is initiated on a batch processor, the batch cannot be interrupted, nor can other jobs be started. And all jobs are assumed to be simultaneously available. This paper develops the model to describe these situation and a heuristic method to minimize its total tardiness.

The production of red pigment from glucose by fed-batch culture of Monascus anka was investigated. In batch culture using fermentor, 200 rpm of agitation speed, 1vvm of aeration volume, and 10% (v/v) of inoculum size were optimal, respectively. The red pigment production was increased by removal of wall-attached mycelium. In an intermittent feeding fed-batch culture, dry cell weight increased to 30 g/l, adn the red pigment content reached 350 of absorbance at 495nm. In a continuous feeding fed-batch culture, dry cell weight increased to 22g/l, and the red pigment content reached 190 of absorbance at 495nm.
