The effects of two different sugars (glucose and xylose) on the expression levels and patterns of the xylose reductase (xyl1), xylitol dehydrogenase (xyl2), and xylulokinase (xyl3) genes were analyzed using Pichia stipitis. A significant increase in mRNA levels of xyl1 was observed after 6 h growth in culture conditions using xylose as a sole carbon source, but expressions of the three genes were not influenced by normal culture media with glucose. In addition, expressions of xyl2 and xyl3 were not observed during the entire culture period during which xylose was added. It also was found that the expression level of xyl1 increased as a function of the xylose concentration (40, 60, and 80 g/l) used in this study, indicating that xyl1 expression sensitively responded to xylose in the culture media. Although the induced level of xyl2 increased slightly after 48 h in the xylose-supplemented culture conditions, the expression of xyl2 was not observed in the xylitol-supplemented culture conditions. Finally, considering the expression of each gene in response to glucose or xylose, the absolute expression levels of the three genes indicate that xyl1 is induced primarily by exposure to xylose.

The indonesian government wishes to increase farmers' by encouraging dairy farming. Since 1980, imported dairy cattle have been distributed on credit. Survey data from 1990 were used to study the average milk sales per cow and the economic parameters of dairy production of a sample of farm households on seven milk cooperatives East Java Province, in three agro-ecological areas, oriented to sugar cane, cassava and horticulture, respectively. in general, dairy production proved not to be economically attractive as returns to labour were similar to the rates for agricultural labour. The returns showed marked differences among the three areas studied. They were highest in the horticultural area. Analysis of the dairy units according to size showed a tendency for inputs as well as revenue per cow to decline as herd size increased. It is argued that a further increase in milk production in East Java can be stimulated by raising the farm gate price of milk, or by expanding dairy production into suitable, new areas.

The effects of dietary fiber on true digestibility of amino acids by growing pigs were studied, using semi-purified diets formulated from alfalfa meal, cassava leaf meal, rubber seed meal and leucacna meal at 20% level. A protein-free diet including 5% cellulose was formulated for correcting the endogenous amino acid loss. Across all the diets, arginine was the most digestible while the least at ileal level was threonine; methionine and/or histidine at fecal level respectively. The true digestibility value of amino acids at ileal level were higher than at fecal level except control diet (cellulose). The true digestibility values at ileal level were similar for all diets but differed at fecal level in different magnitude. These results indicate that undigestible compound in individual feedstuff might confound. True digestibility should be studied together for accurate diet formulation as apparent digestibility decreased when their amino acid concentration in the diet was reduced.

The article demonstrates a method of studying human health and nutrition by applying a multi-disciplinary approach and examines how humans developed and survived by adjusting to their environment. This process involves physiological, cultural and genetic adaptation both independently and interactively. This study postulates that a sound human health may be the result of balance between nutrition and environmental conditions. It is noted that there is a positive correlation between malaria and fava bean intake, and sickle cell anemia and cassava intake. It is also suggested that the difference in disease structure in soybean and non-soybean consumption cultures can be explained by an ecological approach to studying nutrition. This study further suggest that the relationship between nutrition and socio-cultural system. epidmiological study of nutrition and cultural environment nutrition and conceptual characteristics, nutrition and food intake pattern, nutrition and health sociological functions and the physioloical, cultural and genetic adaptation can all be stimulating research subjects to be studied form and ecological point of view. This article also includes the results from a series of ecological studies conducted by the author investigating the relationship between nutritional status of Korean breast-feeding mothers and the composition of the human milk and also the Vitamin D status of Korean and their lifestyle.

Cyanogenic glycosides are secondary plant metabolites that are known as plant defense chemicals. They are found in cassava, bamboo, flax, and other plants. In this paper, the role of cyanogenic glycosides, their characteristics, and their interactions with insects are discussed. Previous and current research in our laboratory found that several natural and synthetic cyanohydrins were effective against stored-product insects as fumigants. Due to their insecticidal activity to insects, cyanohydrins can be used as an alternative fumigant and also as soil fumigants. Risk assessment, however, should be done to account for possible environmental problems, non-target wildlife effects, and human health effects.

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of carbohydrate source and cottonseed meal level in the concentrate on feed intake, nutrient digestibility, rumen fermentation and microbial protein synthesis in swamp buffaloes. Four, 4-yr old rumen fistulated swamp buffaloes were randomly assigned to receive four dietary treatments according to a $2{\times}2$ factorial arrangement in a $4{\times}4$ Latin square design. Factor A was carbohydrate source; cassava chip (CC) and CC+rice bran at a ratio 3:1 (CR3:1), and factor B was level of cottonseed meal (CM); 109 g CP/kg (LCM) and 328 g CP/kg (HCM) in isonitrogenous diets (490 g CP/kg). Buffaloes received urea-treated rice straw ad libitum and supplemented with 5 g concentrate/kg BW. It was found that carbohydrate source did not affect feed intake, nutrient intake, digested nutrients, nutrient digestibility, ammonia nitrogen concentration, fungi and bacterial populations, or microbial protein synthesis (p>0.05). Ruminal pH at 6 h after feeding and the population of protozoa at 4 h after feeding were higher when buffalo were fed with CC than in the CR3:1 treatment (p<0.05). Buffalo fed with HCM had a lower roughage intake, nutrient intake, population of total viable and cellulolytic bacteria and microbial nitrogen supply than the LCM fed group (p<0.05). However, nutrient digestibility, ruminal pH, ammonia concentration, population of protozoa and fungi, and efficiency of microbial protein synthesis were not affected by cottonseed meal levels (p>0.05). Based on this experiment, concentrate with a low level of cottonseed meal could be fed with cassava chips as an energy source in swamp buffalo receiving rice straw.

본 연구에서는 바이오 에탄올 생산을 위한 보릿짚의 전처리에 ethanosolv 방법을 적용하여 그 타당성을 조사하였다. 리그닌제거율은 처리 온도와 시간에 따라 증가 하였으며 $180^{\circ}C$, $200^{\circ}C$에서 거의 38%정도의 비슷한 제거율을 보였는데 비용절감 등의 부분을 감안할 때 $180^{\circ}C$, 120 min가 적정조건이라는 결론을 얻었다. ethanosolv 전처리 효과를 증대시키기 위하여 2단계의 전처리 방법을 적용하였다. 볶은 후 ethanosolv 한 보릿짚의 경우 리그닌 제거율은 35%정도로 그렇지 않은 경우와 거의 유사하여 볶음이 리그닌제거율에 큰 영향을 미치지 않음을 확인 할 수 있었다. XRD분석을 통하여 전처리 시간과 온도가 증가할수록 결정성은 감소하였다. 볶은 후 ethanosolv 한 것과 ethanosolv 단독 처리한 보릿짚 사이의 결정성은 미소하지만 물리적 변형을 한 단계 더 겪은 볶은 보릿짚이 전체적으로 낮게 나타났다.

Transformant TSD-14와 C. tropicalis간의 이속 간 융합체인 FSC-14-75의 산업적 이용가능성을 검토하기 위하여 mini-jar fermentor(working volume=2.5liters)를 사용하여 ethanol 발효의 최적조건 및 ethanol productivity를 조사하였다. Thermamyl(u-amylase, Novo Co.)로서 액화시킨 liquefied potato starch를 15%, 20%, 25% 농도로서 발효를 한 경우 총당에 대해 약 80%의 발효율을 나타내었으며 이는 yeast extract의 첨가에 의해 향상되었다. Ethanol 발효조건으로는 pH 4.2가 pH 5.5에 비해 효과적이었으며, seed volume을 공업적 수준인 10%로 하면 4일만에 20%의 liquefied potato starch로부터 11.0%(v/v)의 ethanol을 생성하여 현재의 공업적 사용균주의 성적에 필적할만 하였다. 또한 본 균주는 현재의 공업적 ethanol 발효생산에서 발효기질로 실제 이응하고 있는 Cassava starch 혹은 barley 및 sweet potato starch 등을 원료로 하였을 때도 8.5%(v/v) 및 7.6%(v/v)의 ethanol을 직접적으로 발효 생산하였으며, 한편 이와 같은 raw starch를 원료로 할 경우는 yeast extract를 첨가하지 않아도 무방하여 이상의 결과로 본 효모균주는 당화, 발효를 동시에 찰 수 있는 효모로서 공업적 이용이 가능할 것으로 기대되었다.

유가의 급등과 화석 연료에 의한 온난화 현상은 재생 가능한 대체 연료에 대한 필요성이 요구되었다. 수송용 바이오 연료를 비교하였을 때 에탄올보다 높은 알코올 경우 휘발유와 비슷한 장점을 갖는데 그 이유는 높은 에너지 밀도와 낮은 흡습성을 갖기 때문이다. 이러한 이유로 미생물의 발효는 지속적인 에너지를 얻을 수 있는 잠재적 생산자라 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 생물학적으로 생산되는 알코올 성분에 대하여 두 종의 세균과 한종의 효모인 Escherichia coli와 Clostridium acetobutylicum 그리고 Saccharomyces cerevisiae를 이용하여 바이오 알코올에 대한 세포 성장 정도와 함께 미생물내에 스트레스 반응 유전자들의 분석을 실시하였다. 분석한 알코올은 에탄올과 부탄올이며, 이들의 농도별 세균의 성장속도와 산화적 손상에 민감하게 반응하는 katG 유전자, 생물막 손상에 민감하게 반응하는 fabA 유전자, 단백질 손상에 민감하게 반응하는 grpE 유전자, 유전자 손상에 민감하게 반응하는 recA 유전자의 반응여부를 분석하였다. 그 결과, 에탄올과 부탄올 중 부탄올의 세포 독성이 더 높게 관찰되었으며, 부탄올의 경우 생물막 손상을 유발하는 세포내 독성효과를 지니고 있음을 확인하였다.
