  • Batch growth of plant cell suspension cultures of Thalictrum rugosum was studied to clarify the kinetic behaviors. It was found that the product formation was growth associated. The specific growth rate was $0.20-0.25\;day\;^{-1}$/TEX> at the growth phase and the FW/DCW ratio was an interesting parameter which represented the status of the cells or the status of sugar concentration. The cell yield was 0.36 g cells/g sugar. The maximum berberine level was 139 mg/L of which 120 mg/L was intracellular. In terms of the specific content of berberine, the product was 1.10% of dry cell weight. At the growth phase, the relationship between the specific growth rate and sugar concentration was described well by Monod kinetics.

  • S. epidermidis cell was fractionated into cell wall, cell membrane and cytoplasm. The cell membrane adsorbed the most abundant $\textrm{Pb}_{2+}$ per unit dry weight of the three fractions tested. Adsorption behavior of $\textrm{Pb}_{2+}$ in lipid and protein, which are the main components of the cell membrane, indicated that phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylinositol having phosphoryl group and gangliosides containing carboxyl groups adsorbed much more $\textrm{Pb}_{2+}$ than triglycerides lacking any chargeable functional groups. Protein purified from cell membrane adsorbed larger amount of $\textrm{Pb}_{2+}$ than total native cell membrane or cell membrane lipid.

  • When methanol was the sole carbon source, Methylobacterium organophilum NCIB 11278, a facultative methylotroph, accumulated Poly-$\beta$-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) as 59% (w/w) of dry cell weight under potassium limitation, 37% under sulfate limitation, and 33% under nitrogen limitation. Based on a stoichiometric analysis of PHB synthesis from methanol, it was suspected that PHB synthesis is accompanied by the overproduction of energy, either 6-10 ATP and 1 $FADH_2$ or 6 ATP and 3 NADPH to balance the NADH requirement, per PHB monomer. This was confirmed by observation of increased intracellular ATP levels during PHB accumulation. The intracellular ATP with limited potassium, sulfate, and ammonium increased to 0.185, 0.452, and 0.390 $\mu$moles ATP/g Xr (residual cell mass) during PHB accumulation, respectively. The intracellular ATP level under potassium limitation was similar to that when there was no nutrient limitation and no PHB accumulation, 0.152- 0.186 $\mu$moles ATP/g Xr. We propose that the maximum PHB accumulation observed when potassium was limited is a result of the energy balance during PHB accumulation. Microorganisms have high energy requirements under potassium limitation. Enhanced PHB accumulation, in ammonium and sulfate limited conditions with the addition of 2,4-dinitrophenol, which dissipates surplus energy, proves this assumption. With the addition of 1 mM of 2,4-dinitrophenol, the PHB content increased from 32.4% to 58.5% of dry cell weight when nitrogen limited and from 15.1 % to 31.0% of dry cell weight when sulfate limited.

  • Cultivation of a $Q_{10}$-producing photosynthetic bacterium, Rhodobacter sphaeroids, was carried out in a 1-L flask to characterize its cellular growth reaction. The result of experiment showed that dissolve oxygen in the broth was depleted within 7 h. ORP decreased with decrease of DO, and recovered somewhat with increase of pH. The growth of R. spahaeroids reached at late-log phase in 140 h of reaction. The final pH and dry-cell weight were 7.62 and 2.2 mg/mL, respectively. The $Q_{10}$ content in the final broth was 2.35 mg/g dry cell weight, which was higher than that obtained in tube culture.

  • The dextran prodution by Leuconostoc mensenteroids NRRL-B512F was studied in a synthetic medium from sucrose as a sole carbon source. Especially, effect of nitrogen source was treated and compared in this study. In oder to maximize the cell growth and dextran produtivity through fermentation two nitrogen sources, yeast extract and tryptone, were used with various concentrations. At the end of fermentation, when the concentration of yeast extract was 9g/L we can obtain the maximum dry cell weight(14.1g/L), dextran dry weight(25.4g/L) and productivity(1.4g/L ${\cdot}$ hr).

  • Through the experiment, process of producing hydrogen and organic compounds using C. reinhardtii has been researched. In dark fermentation, pH and dry cell weight as well as starch content decreased as time goes, while organic compounds and hydrogen were produced more in accordance with time. Still, organic compounds showed tendency to increase in accordance with time, but hydrogen reached the maximum on the third day.

  • Light Emitting Diode (LED) of 880 nm was used as a function of luminosity in culture of the photosynthetic bacteria including Rhodobacter sp.. An array of 880 run LED was driven with an energy density of $6.0mW/cm^2$. In processing time, we were able to show that the cell growth were gained of significant changes in the pigment and in the dry weight. And we also showed that photosynthetic bacteria had the resonable relativity of optical density to dry weight. LED-880nm is of great significance for the potential use of photo-bioreactor construction.

  • The production of red pigment from glucose by fed-batch culture of Monascus anka was investigated. In batch culture using fermentor, 200 rpm of agitation speed, 1vvm of aeration volume, and 10% (v/v) of inoculum size were optimal, respectively. The red pigment production was increased by removal of wall-attached mycelium. In an intermittent feeding fed-batch culture, dry cell weight increased to 30 g/l, adn the red pigment content reached 350 of absorbance at 495nm. In a continuous feeding fed-batch culture, dry cell weight increased to 22g/l, and the red pigment content reached 190 of absorbance at 495nm.

  • The accumulation process of $Pb^{2+}$ in an industrial strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae proved to be temperature-dependent, and was quite similar to chemical adsorption at the initial stage of $Pb^{2+}$accumulation. The initial $Pb^{2+}$ accumulation rate increased from 11.4 to 46.2 mg $Pb^{2+}$/g cell dry weight/day, in response to the increased temperature from $20^{\circ}C\;to\;50^{\circ}C$ while the maximal $Pb^{2+}$ accumulation amount (175.8 mg $Pb^{2+}$/g cell dry weight) was achieved at $30^{\circ}C$. The maximal $Pb^{2+}$/ accumulation amount with temperature was independent of ion exchange with $K^+\;and\;Mg^{2+}$.

  • The production of polyhydroxybutrate(PHB) by Alcaligenes eutrophus NCIB 11599 was studied in a synthetic medium from whey as a sole carbon source. Especially pH-effect was treated and compared in this study. At the end of fermentation (A) unadjusted to pH, the dry cell weight, PHB concentration, and PHB conversion rate were 10.3g/L, 3.1g/L, and 30%, respectively. At the end of fermentation (B) adjusted to $pH(7.0{\sim}7.5)$, the dry cell weight, PHB concentration, and PHB conversion rate were 12.5g/L, 4.8g/L, and 41%, respectively. PHB conversion rate was about 10% higher on the fermentation (B) than on the fermentation (A).
