This research explores how different corporate cultures can influence the post-M&A performance of the airlines undergoing strategic M&A in Korea. The sample size of this research is 214 respondents that is strictly limited to the employees of airlines under M&A process, and CFA and SEM were employed for the statistical analysis. This research investigated that corporate cultures including group-oriented, development-oriented, and rationale-oriented will positively influence the post M&A performance of both efficiency and effectiveness through a mediation of collaboration during M&A process. In contrast, relations between grouporiented culture and interaction, interaction and effectiveness were not revealed positive influences. The findings of this research will provide valuable insights into the potential risks that can impede successful M&A within the M&A process, specially focusing on the conflicts between organizations stemming from different organizational cultures, which can have an adverse impact on M&A performance.

Light penetration depth in high-density Chlorella cultures can be successfully estimated by Beer-Lambert's law. The efficiency of light energy absorption algal cultures was so high that algal cells near the illuminating surface shade the cells deep in the culture. To exploit the potential of high-density algal cultures, this mutual shading should be eliminated or minimized. However, providing more light energy will not ease the situation and it will simply drop the overall light utilization efficiency.

A novel recovery method was developed to obtain the plant cell and its debris from Taxus chinensis cell cultures By pH control of plant cell cultures plant cell and debris was precipitated. The best pH is between 1.8 and 2.2 to obtain the precipitate of the plant cell and debris. Also paclitaxel is stable in this acidic conditions. This method is very simple an efficient to recover the plant cell and debris from plant cell cultures.

Repeated-batch and continuous cultures of Lactococcus sp. 1112-1 were carried out for bacteriocin production using a glucose-casein medium. Repeated-batch culture did not efficiently enhanced the bacteriocin production. Continuous production was possible at the dilution rate of 0.4 $h^{-1}$. Maximum specific production rate ($Q^p$), bacteriocin production and biomass at the dilution rate were 347, 136 IU/g/h, 2, 121 IU/ml and 2.45 g/L, respectively.

The efficient manufacture of fermented dairy products on an industrial scale requires a supply of reliable starter cultures with properties suited to desired product specifications. These cultures must be backed by relevant research and development activities. This article describes the issues involved in establishing a centre to provide starter culture R & D for a group of independent cheese manufacturing companies, and discusses a strategic approach to the management of starter cultures.

Protein productivity by the cellulolytic fungi, Trichoderma viride(MTCC 800), Chaetomium globosum and Aspergillus terreus was compared in co-culture and mixed culture fermentations of cashewnut bran. Co-cultures were more effective in substrate saccharification, which ranged between $85{\sim}88%$ compared to the $62{\sim}67%$ saccharification shown by the monocultures. Maximum saccharification was induced by T. viride and C. globosum co-culture resulting in the highest 34% release of reducing sugars. The maximum 16.4% biomass protein and the highest protein productivity(0.58%) were shown by T. viride and A. terreus co-culture. A. terreus performed better in co-culture in the presence of T. viride rather than with C. globosum. Among the cellulolytic enzymes, FPase(Filter Paper Cellulase) activity was significantly higher in all the co-cultures and in the mixed culture than in their respective monocultures. Mixed culture fermentation involving all the three fungi was not effective in increasing the per cent saccharification or the biomass protein content over the co-cultures.

Cultures of Saccharomyces cerevisiae were treated with pulsed electric fields to improve accumulation of zinc in the biomass. Under optimized conditions, that is, on 15 min exposure of the 20 h grown culture to PEFs of 1500 V and 10 ${\mu}s$ pulse width, accumulation of zinc in the yeast biomass reached a maximum of 15.57 mg/g d.m. Under optimum zinc concentration (100 ${\mu}g$/ml nutrient medium), its accumulation in the cells was higher by 63% in comparison with the control (without PEFs). That accumulation significantly correlated against zinc concentration in the medium. Neither multiple exposure of the cultures to PEFs nor intermittent supplementation of the cultures with zinc increased the zinc accumulation. The intermittent supplementation of the cultures with zinc and multiple exposures on PEFs could even reduce the accumulation efficiency, respectively, by 57% and 47%.

A declining tendency in embryogenic capability was seen during 6 months culture period during which embryo production decreased from 1000 embryos/ml to 500 embryos/ml. The presence of extracellular factors extracted from newly established embryo cultures restored the embryogenic capability and even enhanced the embryo production up to 5 times (2500 embryos/ml) for old carrot suspension cultures compared with that of control cultures. The stimulating effect on the embryo production indicates that the enhancing effect comes from extracellular compounds that are probably protein molecules.

Microbial biotransformations can be used to predict mammalian drug metabolism. The present investigation deals with microbial biotransformation of valdecoxib using microbial cultures. Thirty-nine bacterial, fungal, and yeast cultures were used to elucidate the biotransformation pathway of valdecoxib. A number of microorganisms metabolized valdecoxib to various levels to yield nine metabolites, which were identified by HPLC-DAD and LC-MS-MS analyses. HPLC analysis of biotransformed products indicated that a majority of the metabolites are more polar than the substrate valdecoxib. Basing on LC-MS-MS analysis, the major metabolite was identified as a hydroxymethyl metabolite of valdecoxib, whereas the remaining metabolites were produced by carboxylation, demethylation, ring hydroxylation, N-acetylation, or a combination of these reactions. The hydroxymethyl and carboxylic acid metabolites were known to be produced in metabolism by mammals. From the results, it can be concluded that microbial cultures, particularly fungi, can be used to predict mammalian drug metabolism.

A bacterial strain that excretes hemolysins and proteases into the growth medium was isolated from sea water and designated as KYJ 961. A nearly complete nucleotide sequence of a 16S ribosomal RNA gene from the isolate was determined following the isolation and cloning of amplified genes. On the basis of the 16S ribosomal DNA sequence data, and morphological, chemotaxonomic, and physiological characteristics, strain KYJ 961 was classified as a strain of Bacillus cereus.
