The study evaluated different synthetic and semisynthetic media for maximal recovery of rumen bacteria and expression of their antibacterial activity. Rumen Glucose Cellobiose Agar (RGCA) medium was found to be the best for recovery of rumen bacteria. However, L-10 medium was the best for expression of antibacterial activity of ruminal isolates followed by Easy, M-10, RGCA and M-98-5 medium. The present study recommends the use of L-10 medium as the medium of choice for screening of antibacterial activity of ruminal isolates. Comparative evaluation of bacterial counts on different dietary regimes indicated significant difference between different growth media on a specific diet and between diets on specific growth media within a species. However, there is no overall significant difference between total bacterial counts obtained from rumen liquor of cattle and buffalo with respect to either the feeding regime or growth media. Feeding straw based diet to the animal is the best for high recovery of rumen bacteria.

Fro the purpose of producing glouse from cellobiose or oligo saccharide and obtaining genetic information of beta-1,4-glucosidase gene, alpha beta-1,4-glucosidase gene of Pseudomonas sp. LBC505, potent cellulase complex and xylanase producing strain, was cloned in Esherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis into pUC19 and pBD64, respectively. Recombinant plasmid pGL1 contained 1.2kb EcoRI fragment was isolated from transformants forming blue color around colony on LB agar plate containing 20 ng/ml of 5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside(X-glu) and ampicillin.

227 red yeast strains were isolated from air (60 isolates), plant flowers (45 isolates), soil (40 isolates), water (37 isolates) and dairy products (45 isolates). On the basis of 33 different physiological and morphological properties, the isolated strains were assigned to 6 species belonging to 4 genera. Rhodotorula mucilaginosa and Cryptococcus albidus were the most dominant species among red yeasts of the air, plant flowers, water and dairy products, whereas Cryptococcus albidus and Rhodotorula glutinis were prevailed in soil. Cryptococcus laurentii was represented by considerable number of strains, whereas the other spesies were of low occurrence. Noteworthy was the isolation of 2 different groups of isolates belonging to Rhodotorula glutinis. These groups were differentiated from each other on the basis of rhamnose, cellobiose and arabinitol assimilation and growth at $37^{\circ}C$. Systematic position of Rhodotorula glutinis was discussed.

Two lactic acid bacteria (LAB) with high ${\gamma}$-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-producing capacity were isolated from naturally aged cheese. Examination of the biochemical features using an API kit indicated that the two strains belonged to Lactobacillus. They were gram positive, rod-type bacteria, and fermented arabinose, melezitose, melibiose and xylose, but did not utilize cellobiose or trehalose. 16S rDNA sequencing analysis confirmed that they were Lactobacillus buchneri and Lactobacillus sp. They were accordingly named as Lactobacillus buchneri OPM-1 and Lactobacillus sp. OPM-2, and could produce GABA from MRS broth supplemented with 10 g/L of monosodium glutamate (MSG) at a productivity of 91.7 and 116.7 mg/L/hr, respectively. Cell extracts of L. buchneri OPM-1 and Lactobacillus sp. OPM-2 showed glutamate decarboxylase (GAD) activity, for which the optimum pH and temperature were 5.5 and $30^{\circ}C$, respectively.

The simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) process consists of concurrent enzymatic saccharification and fermentation. In the present cybernetic model, the saccharification process, which is based on the modified Michaelis-Menten kinetics and enzyme inhibition kinetics, was combined with the fermentation process, which is based on the Monod equation. The cybernetic modeling approach postulates that cells adapt to utilize the limited resources available to them in an optimal way. The cybernetic modeling was suitable for describing sequential growth on multiple substrates by Brettanomyces custersii, which is a glucose- and cellobiose-fermenting yeast. The proposed model was able to elucidate the SSF process in a systematic manner, and the performance was verified by previously published data.

A moderately thermophilic, alkalophlic and powerful crystalline cellulose-digesting bacterium, Bacillus K-12, was isolated from filter paper wastes and found to be similar to Bacillus circulans or Bacillus pumilis, except for its ability to grow at a moderately high pH and temperature. The isolate grew at a pH ranging from 6 to 10 and at a temperature ranging from 35 to $65^{\circ}C$ and produced a large amount of cellulase components containing avicelase, xylanase, CMCase, and FPase when grown in avicel medium for 5 to 7 days at $50^{\circ}C$. The crude enzyme preparation from the culture broth hydrolyzed xylan, raw starch, pullulan and ${\beta}-1,3$ glucan such as laminarin. Furthermore, the enzyme hydrolyzed crystalline cellulose to cellobiose and glucose and had a broad pH activity curve (pH 6~9). The enzyme was stable up to $70^{\circ}C$.

Trichoderma viride QM 9414의 생육을 저해하여 colony를 형성 시키고 배지에 첨가된 cellulose가 균이 분비한 cellulase에 의해서 분해되어 생긴 clear zone으로서 육안으로 cellulase 역가를 쉽게 측정할 수 있는 방법과 repressor를 첨가하여 constitutive mutant를 선별할 수 있는 방법에 관한 실험을 하였든 바 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1) Colony를 형성시키고 그 size를 제한 하는데는 deoxycholate를 배지에 0.15％ 첨가 하였을 때 가 가장 좋았다. 2) Saponin을 배지에 0.l％ 첨가하면 뚜렷한 clear zone을 형성하였다. 3) Constitutive mutant를 선별하기 위해서는 기질로 pulp를 사용하였을 경우 glucsoe를 1％ 첨가하거나 glycerol이나 cellobiose를 0.5％ 첨가하면 가능하다고 생각되며 기질로 pure cellulose를 사용하였을 경우는 그대로 배지에 spore를 plating하면 가능하다고 생각된다. 4) Cellulase 역가가 높은 균주는 clear zone의 크기로서 쉽게 분리할 수 있다.

A total of 106 Penicillium species were tested to examine their ability of degrading cellobiose, pectin and xylan. The activity of ${\beta}$-glucosidase was generally strong in all the Penicillium species tested. P. citrinum, P. charlesii, P. manginii and P. aurantiacum showed the higher ability of producing ${\beta}$-glucosidase than other tested species. Pectinase activity was detected in 24 Penicillium species. P. paracanescens, P. sizovae, P. sartoryi, P. chrysogenum, and P. claviforme showed strong pectinase activity. In xylanase assay, 84 Penicillium species showed activity. Strong xylanase activity was detected from P. megasporum, P. sartoryi, P. chrysogenum, P. glandicola, P. discolor, and P. coprophilum. Overall, most of the Penicillium species tested showed strong ${\beta}$-glucosidase activity. The degree of pectinase and xylanase activity varied depending on Penicillium species.

The mode of transglycosylation reaction observed during the action of low-molecular-weight 1,4-$\beta$-D-glucan glucanohydrolase (EC 3.2.1.4) purified from Trichoderma koningii ATCC 26113 was investigated using $^{1}H-NMR $spectroscopy. The H-1 proton resonances were analysed. After reaction of the enzyme with cellotriose, the reaction products were separated by high performance liquid chromatography. H-1 resonances of the products were consisted with those of cellobiose, cellotriose and cellotitraose, respectively. Therefore it was proved that all the reaction products formed by the action of the enzyme on cellooligosaccharides, including transglycosylation products, possess only H-NMR -1,4-glycosidic linkage(s).

Thirty seven species of Fusarium were evaluated for their ability of producing extracellular enzymes using chromogenic medium containing substrates such as starch, cellobiose, CM-cellulose, xylan, and pectin. Among the tested species Fusarium mesoamericanum, F. graminearum, F. asiaticum, and F. acuminatum showed high ${\beta}$-glucosidase acitivity. Xylanase activity was strongly detected in F. proliferatum and F. oxysporum. Strong pectinase activity was also found in F. oxysporum and F. proliferatum. Amylase activity was apparent in F. oxysporum. No clear activity in cellulase was found from all the Fusarium species tested.
