This work is method that uses a hydrolysis for increasing yield of paclitaxel in plant cell cultures. The best pH is 3.0 to obtain a maximum yield at fixed reaction temperature and time t pH 3.0 reaction temperature 80$^{\circ}C$ and reaction time 8 hr give the highest yield which is three time of control. This is very simple and efficient method to increase paclitaxel yield in plant cell cultures.

The study was conducted to determine if variation in protein yield can be explained by expressions of early lactation somatic cell score (SCS) and if prediction can be improved by including SCS among the predictors. A data set was prepared (n = 663,438) from Wisconsin Dairy Improvement Association (USA) records for protein yield with sample days near 20. Stepwise regression was used requiring F statistic (p < .01) for any variable to stay in the model. Separate analyses were run for 12 combinations of four seasons and first three parities. Selection of SCS variables was not consistent across seasons or lactations. Coefficients of detennination ($R^2$) ranged from 51 to 61% with higher values for earlier lactations. Including any expression of SCS in the prediction equations improved $R^2$ by < 1 %. SCS was associated with milk yield on the sample day, but the association was not strong enough to improve the prediction of future yield when other expressions of milk yield were in the model.

Growth yield of Desulfovibrio desulfuricans M6 was measured using different substrates. The cell yield of fermentative growth on pyruvate was 6.22 g cell $mol^{-l}$ pyruvate. Since 1 ATP is available from substrate-level phosphorylation from the oxidation of pyruvate to acetate, $Y_{ATP}$ of the bacterium should be the same as $Y_{pyruvate}$ (6.22 g cell $mol^{-l}$ ATP). The cell yields of the bacterium on different electron donors were measured with sulfate as the electron acceptor. Cell yields on lactate, pyruvate and $H_2$ were 9.39, 13.76 and 8.45 g cell $mol^{-l}$ substrate, respectively. From these figures ATP available from electron-transport phosphorylation (ETP) of the electron donors used was calculated. ATP produced by ETP of each electron donnor were 1.71 from pyruvate, 1.51 from lactate and 1.76 from $H_2$. These values show that electrons from the oxidation of lactate to pyruvate are consumed to reduce sulfate through a reverse electron transport mechanism requiring 0.2 ATP for each pair of electrons. Based on these results, discussions are made on the electron transport mechanism in the bacterium.

Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) have gathered attention as a novel bioenergy technology to simultaneously treat wastewater with less sludge production than the conventional activated sludge system. In two different operations of the MFC and aerobic process, microbial growth was determined by the protein assay method and their biomass yields using real wastewater were compared. The biomass yield on the anode electrode of the MFC was 0.02 g-COD-cell/gCOD-substrate and the anolyte planktonic biomass was 0.14 g-COD-cell/g-COD-substrate. An MFC without anode electrode resulted in the biomass yield of 0.07 ± 0.03 g-COD-cell/g-CODsubstrate, suggesting that oxygen diffusion from the cathode possibly supported the microbial growth. In a comparative test, the biomass yield under aerobic environment was 0.46 ± 0.07 g-COD-cell/g-COD-substrate, which was about 3 times higher than the total biomass value in the MFC operation.

본 실험은 토마토 플러그묘 생산에서 공간처리와 배지부피처리를 함께하여 두 가지 처리가 유묘의 묘소질 및 수확량에 미치는 영향을 구명하고자 수행하였다. 처리는 공간과 배지의 부피별로 각 2처리, 모두 4가지 처리를 두었다. 배지는 동일하되 배지의 부피에 따라 40공과 50공 플러그 육묘판을 사용했고, 각 육묘판에 공간처리를 한것과 하지 않은 것으로 나누어 처리했다(40S-OK, 40S-NO, 50S-OK, 50S-NO). 전 실험기간 중에 처리외의 환경조건과 급액조건은 모두 동일하게 적용하였다. 광합성 속도와 묘소질 분석 및 수확량과 수확속도 모두에서 통계적 유의성이 있게 공간처리와 배지의 부피처리의 영향을 받았다. 광합성 속도와 묘소질에서는 40S-OK, 50S-OK, 40S-NO, 50S-NO 처리 순으로 좋은 결과를 나타내어 공간처리의 효과가 더 크고, 수확량에서는 40S-OK, 40S-NO, 50S-OK, 50S-NO 처리 순으로 많아서 배지의 부피 처리의 영향이 큰 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 고품질 묘 생산과 초기 수확량을 증대하고, 수확속도를 빠르게 하기 위해서는 육묘기에 적절한 공간확보와 배지의 부피를 크게 하는 것이 효과적인 것으로 사료된다.

HeLa 세포주의 연속 배양시 세포수가 배지의 이동속도가 증가함에 따라 감소하는 현상을 나타냈으며, 최대 세포수를 유지할 때의 dilution rate은 0.012(1/h)로 wash-out인 0.050(1/h)보다 극히 낮으며, dilution rate이 0.030(1/h)일 때 2.0(mL of cells/L/h)의 최대 세포 생산속도를 보였다. 또한 낮은 배지 이동속도에서 세포수의 감소에 따른 maintenance term의 존재를 확인했다. 더불어 packed cell volume파 산소소비속도의 측정값이 실제 세포증식과 밀접한 관계가 있음이 입증되어 간접방법에 의한 생육도치 측정이 가능하게 되었다. 또한 산소 yield model에 의해 최대 산소 수율, $Y_{O2}^{max}$과 maintenance 산소소비속도, m$_{O2}$가 각각 4.1$\times$$10^5$(cells/mmole $O_2$)와 10.71$\times$$10^{-9}$(mmole $O_2$/ cells/h)로 측정되었다.

The effect of eight varieties of grain and forage type whole crop rice (Oryza sativa L Japonica) each harvested at four stages of maturity were investigated for morphology and yield, proportion of botanical fractions, fermentatability and chemical composition in an $8{\times}4$ factorial experiment. All crops were sown in 1997 at Saitama Prefecture, Japan under identical condition and harvested on 10, 22, 34 and 45 days after flowering in 1998. Total DM yield of forage type varieties was similar to that of the highest yield of grain type varieties. However, while yield of forage type varieties was attributed to higher proportion of straw than head, the reverse was in the case of grain type varieties. Yield in line with the proportion of head increased (p<0.001), but in contrast proportion of straw decreased (p<0.001) with the increase in maturity. Silage fermentability of grain type varieties was better than forage type varieties. Fermentability improved with the increase (p<0.001) in maturity suggesting that the moisture content should be reduced to improve fermentation quality. Forage type varieties contained higher (p<0.001) ash, crude fat (EE), organic cell wall (OCW) and acid detergent fiber (ADF), but contained lower crude protein (CP), organic cell content (OCC), CP in OCC and nitrogen-free cell wall extract (NCWFE) than the grain type varieties. The ash, CP, EE, Oa (60% digestible OCW), Ob (40% digestible OCW), OCW, ADF and acid detergent lignin (ADL) decreased (p<0.001), but OCC and NCWFE increased (p<0.001) with the increase in maturity. It is concluded that stage of maturity not only increases yield and proportion of head, but also improved the fermentation quality and increases quality chemical composition (except CP) of whole crop rice. Forage type varieties may be as good as grain type varieties in terms of yield, but fermentation quality and chemical composition may not be as good as that of grain type varieties.

In situ extraction by organic solvent was studied in order to improve the recovery yield of hydrocarbon from the culture of Botryococcus braunii, a green colonial microalga. When the solvent mixture of octanol as an extractive solvent and n-octane as a biocompatible solvent was added to a two-phase column, the algal growth was seriously inhibited, even at a low concentration of polar octanol. Therefore, a two-stage cell-recycle extraction process was proposed to improve the contact area between the organic phase and the aqueous phase. The hydrocarbon recovery with in situ cell-recycle extraction showed a three-fold increase (57% of cell) in yield over that with two-phase extraction. In addition, over 60% of the hydrocarbon could be recovered without serious cell damage by downstream separation when this process was applied to the culture broth after batch fermentation.

An Exponetial feeding strategy has been frequently used in fed-batch fermentation of recombinant E. coli. In this feeding scheme, growth yield and initial cell concentration, which can be erroneously determined, are needed to calculate the feed rate for controlling specific growth rate at the set point. The effect of the incorrect growth yield and initial cell concentration on the control of the specific growth rate was theoretically analyzed. Insignificance of the correctness of those parameters for the control of the specific growth rate was shown theoretically and experimentally.

The potential use of spin filter device to retain Propionibacterium acidipropionici in the bioreactor under continuous mode of fermentation, and improve acid productivity, was examined. The yield of propionic acid based on lactose concentration was 51% in batch and 54% in continuous (dilution rate = 0.05 h(sup)-1) operation. The yield in continuous fermentation with cell retention using spin filter of 10 micron size (dilution rate = 0.05 h(sup)-1) was even higher at 70% (w/w). The volumetric productivity under batch and continuous mode of operation were 0.312g L(sup)-1 h(sup)-1 and 0.718g L(sup)-1 h(sup)-1 respectively. Continuous fermentation with cell retention demonstrated even higher volumetric productivities at 0.98g L(sup)-1 h(sup)-1 with out clogging problems. It could be used for utilization of cheese whey to produce propionic acid at higher yield and productivities.
