A novel brown rot fungus Phaeolus schweinitzii IUM 5048 was firstly used for ethanol production. It was found that this fungus produced ethanol with various sugars, such as glucose, mannose, galactose and cellobiose at 0.28, 0.22, 0.06, and 0.22 g of ethanol per g of sugar consumed, respectively. This fungus showed relatively good ethanol production from xylose at 0.23 g of ethanol per g of sugar consumed. However, the ethanol conversion rate of arabinose was relatively low (at 0.08 g of ethanol per g sugar). P. schweinitzii was capable of producing ethanol directly from rice straw and corn stalks at 0.11 g and 0.13 g of ethanol per g of substrates, respectively, when the fungus was cultured in a basal medium supplemented with 20 g/L rice straw or corn stalks. These results suggest that P. schweinitzii can hydrolyze cellulose or hemicellulose to fermentable sugars and convert them to ethanol simultaneously under oxygen limited condition.

Strain FJI, a filamentous fungus isolated from rotten wood, showed high ability to hydrolyze cellulosic materials. To identify the strain FJI, ITS sequencing analysis and morphological observation were performed. The strain FJI was identified as Trichoderma harzianum. The strain produced a large amount of CMCase, xylanase, ${\beta}-glucosidase$, and avicelase. Optimal culture conditions for the production of the enzymes, such as pH, temperature, and inoculation concentration, were initial pH 6.0-7.0,$25-30^{\circ}C$, and $10^4$ ea-spores/ml in Mandel's medium, respectively. T.hanzianum FJI utilized various cellulosic materials and organic nitrogen sources to produce cellulases and xylanase, and also considerably a crystalline and/or insoluble material like Avicel and rice straw. The highest levels of CMCase and xylanase were 41.2 and 65.6 U/ml in 7 days of cultivation using 2.5% of carbon source (Avicel+CMC) and 0.5% of nitrogen source (peptone), respectively.

Cellulose acetate is one of well-known industrial materials which have various commercial uses. We treated the lignocellulosic biomass using two-step (steam explosion-chemical) reaction followed by acetylation to get the cellulose acetate in this study. The two-step treatment was done to improve the yields of acetylation of the substrates. The yields of the cellulose acetate were about 88.4, 88.1, and 151.7% in barley straw, rice straw, and oak tree, respectively. Also the degree of substitution (DS) of the acetates was 2.1 to 2.5 in the biomass. We found that the biomass were valuable cellulosic sources, including their derivatives, in this study. This means that the biomass can be converted into the high-valued cellulosic stuff.

섬유소 폐기물의 생물학적 당화를 위해 분리한 사상균 FJ1은 섬유소 분해효소의 생산성이 뛰어난 신규의 유망한 셀룰라아제 생산균주로 잠정적으로 평가되었다. 사상균 FJ1의 셀룰라아제 생산을 위한 배지조성은, 질소원으로서 0.1% peptone을 사용하였을 경우와, avicel 및 섬유소 폐기물인 볏짚을 혼합하여 사용한 경우 높은 효소생산성을 나타냈다. 경제적인 효소생산을 위한 기질로 섬유소 폐기물의 농도와 혼합비는 1%(w/v)농도에서 볏짚과 펄프를 각각 0.5%(w/v)와 0.5%(w/v)으로 사용하였을 경우 CMCase, xylanase, $\beta$-glucosidase, avicelase의 효소 활성은 각각 24.3, 38.7, 1.5, 0.6 unit/ml 이었다. 이러한 효소생산성은 섬유소 폐기물의 생물학적 당화기술에 크게 기여할 수 있으리라 사료된다.

가속도가 붙은 지구온난화 문제와 수 십년 이내로 예상되는 화석연료의 고갈은 지속가능하면서도 환경친화적인 새로운 형태의 에너지 출현을 필요로 하고 있다. 이러한 추세에 맞추어 태양광, 조력, 지열, 풍력, 수소 에너지와 더불어 바이오에너지가 대체에너지로서 주목받고 있다. 바이오에너지는 태양에너지를 유기물로 변환하는 식물을 재료로 하여 바이오 에탄올이나 바이오디젤 등을 생산하여 사용하는 것으로 대체 에너지가 갖춰야 할 조건을 두루 갖춘 최적의 신재생에너지로 고려되고 있다. 하지만 바이오에너지가 진정한 의미에서의 환경친화적이면서 지속가능성을 갖추기 위해서는 아직 기술적으로 해결해야할 문제점들이 많다. 최근 미국에서 바이오에탄올 생산을 위한 옥수수 소비량이 늘어 곡물 및 사료 가격의 급등 현상으로 이어지고 있다. 또한 이러한 현상은 개발도상국 식량자원의 선진국 유입 등으로 빈곤의 심화 등이 새로운 문제점으로 지적되고 있다. 따라서 곡물이 아닌 비식용 부위를 이용한 에탄올 생산이 대안으로 여겨지고 있는 바 셀룰로스 에탄올은 이러한 문제점을 극복할 수 있는 대체에너지로서 자리매김하고 있다. 셀룰로스 바이오에탄올은 사람 등의 동물이 소화하지 못하는 바이오매스의 대부분을 차지하는 식물 세포벽을 곰팡이 등에서 분리한 효소로 분해한 후 여기서 생성되는 당을 발효과정을 통해 생산되는 에탄올로서 전술한 바와 같은 문제점을 해결할 수 있는 유망한 대안 에너지로 고려되고 있다.

Trichoderma sp. FJ1의 cellulase 생산을 위한 배지조성의 검토에서, 질소원으로서 0.1% bacto peptone을 사용하였을 때 생산성이 향상되었으며, 순수 상업용기질인 avicel과 섬유소 폐기물인 볏짚의 혼합배양에서 높은 효소생산성이 얻어졌다. 경제적인 효소생산성을 위한 기질로 섬유소 폐기물의 농도와 혼합비를 검토한 결과, 1%농도에서 볏짚과 펄프를 50:50으로 사용했을시 CMCase, xylanase, ${\beta}-glucosidase$, avicelase는 24.3, 38.7, 1.5, 0.6 U/ml가 얻어졌다. 이러한 효소생산성은 타 보고서의 결과보다 동등이상의 우위를 보여주고 있으며 섬유소 폐기물의 생물학적 당화기술에 크게 기여하리라 사료된다.

The degradation mode of lignocellulose by anaerobic ruminal cellulolytic bacterium Ruminococcus albus F-40 was investigated. Birchwood holocellulose and filter paper were incubated as the sole carbohydrate sources with using the Hungate techniques. After 2 or 4 days of incubation, samples were employed for chemical and electron microscopic evaluations. The degradation rate of cellulosic substrates and the adhesion rate of bacteria to the substrates increased proportionally with the decrease of relative crystallinity of cellulose, indicating the preferential breakdown of amorphous cellulose, by this bacterium. X-ray diffraction analyses and polarized light microscopy showed, however, that crystalline cellulose was also degraded by R. albus. FT-IR spectra indicated that not only cellulose but hemicellulose was also degraded by this bacterium. Electron microscopic investigations showed the protuberant structures on the surface of R. albus. These structures were much more significant when bacterial cells were grown in the media containing insoluble substrates, such as cellulose, indicating clearly that bacterial protuberant structures were induced by the substrates. Protuberant structures extended from the bacterial cells adhered tightly to the substrates and numerous vesicles covered the surface of cellulosic substrates affected. Cellulosome-like structures were distributed on the cellulose matrix. Electron microscopic works showed that diverse surface organells of R. albus were involved in the degradation of cellulosic materials. SEM examinations showed the breakdown of cellulose by R. albus was proceeded by severeal routes : short fiber formation, defibrillation and destrafication of cellulose microfibril.

White waste papers are very important resources in the paper industry, but their use is limited because of the residual of fluorescent whitening agent (FWA). So the removal of FWAs from waste paper is an important task in the recycling process to improve the use of recycled resources. In this study, we focused on the FWAs used for surface treatments and carried out physical and chemical treatments to remove them from white waste papers. The white waste papers were disintegrated with a surfactant in different pH and temperature conditions, and then handsheets were made for the measurement of the fluorescence index, which is proportional to the amount of FWAs on papers. The effect of the flotation process on the removal of FWAs after disintegration was also investigated. The fluorescence index decreased as the disintegration time increased, but over a relatively long time, the fluorescence index increased again, which indicated the readsorption of the FWAs detached from the cellulosic fibers of the white waste papers. The lowest fluorescence index was shown when the waste papers were disintegrated with a 0.3% surfactant addition at pH 10 and at $45^{\circ}C$. However, the flotation treatment was not effective, because the flotation induced contact between the detached FWAs and the cellulosic fibers, and re-adsorption occurred.
