A bacteium, KP-6408, capable of hydrolyzing fibrin was isolated from Chungkook-jang, which was possibly identified as a strain of Bacillus sp. The effects of culture condition and medium composition on the enzyme production were investigated. Among nitrogen sources tested, yeast extract was the most effective for the enzyme production, and the level of the concentration for the optimal enzyme production was 0.2%(w/v). For carbon sources, glucose was the best for the enzyme production with the level of 2.0%(w/v). The enzyme was maximally produced by cultivating the enzyme production with the level of 2.0%(w/v). The enzyme was maximally produced by cultivating the organism at the liquid medium of the initial pH 8.0 and temperature of 4$0^{\circ}C$. In Chungkook-jang fermentation, the enzyme was maximally produced when incubated at 35$^{\circ}C$ for 24 hrs using soybean as a solid medium. The addition of various rice starch to the soybean in Chungkook-jang fermentation lowered the enzyme production.

A Nuluk, a Korean traditional koji for brewing, was made with wheat flour and Rhizopus japonicus T2 which had a good aroma and strong abilities in producing saccharogenic and proteolytic enzymes, and cultural conditions for the production of those two enzymes were tested. The productivity of saccharogenic enzyme was markedly improved when Nuluk was made with unsteamed wheat flour as compared with that with steamed one, but that of acid protease was reduced. The addition of water containing 0.5% hydrochloric acid was unfavorable for the production of saccharogenic enzyme and neutral protease. The optimum ratio of water added to wheat flour for the production of saccharogenic enzyme and proteolytic enzyme was 28% on the basis of wheat flour. The productivity of saccharogenic enzyme was enhanced "when the Nuluk was molded after 10~20 hours precultivation but that of proteolytic enzyme was reduced as compared with no molding. The optimum temperature for the production of saccharogenic enzyme was 28f and that of proteolyic enzyme was also 28$^{\circ}C$. The optimum cultural time for the production of saccharogenic enzyme was 36 ~72 hours at 3$0^{\circ}C$ and that of proteolytic enzyme was 36 hours.ours.

The optimal physical factors affecting enzyme production in an airlift fermenter have not been studied so far. Therefore, the physical parameters such as aeration rate, pH, and temperature affecting PLA-degrading enzyme production by Actinomadura keratinilytica strain T16-1 in a 3 l airlift fermenter were investigated. The response surface methodology (RSM) was used to optimize PLA-degrading enzyme production by implementing the central composite design. The optimal conditions for higher production of PLA-degrading enzyme were aeration rate of 0.43 vvm, pH of 6.85, and temperature at $46^{\circ}C$. Under these conditions, the model predicted a PLA-degrading activity of 254 U/ml. Verification of the optimization showed that PLA-degrading enzyme production of 257 U/ml was observed after 3 days cultivation under the optimal conditions in a 3 l airlift fermenter. The production under the optimized condition in the airlift fermenter was higher than un-optimized condition by 1.7 folds and 12 folds with un-optimized medium or condition in shake flasks. This is the first report on the optimization of environmental conditions for improvement of PLA-degrading enzyme production in a 3 l airlift fermenter by using a statistical analysis method. Moreover, the crude PLA-degrading enzyme could be adsorbed to the substrate and degraded PLA powder to produce lactic acid as degradation products. Therefore, this incident indicates that PLA-degrading enzyme produced by Actinomadura keratinilytica NBRC 104111 strain T16-1 has a potential to degrade PLA to lactic acid as a monomer and can be used for the recycle of PLA polymer.

A nuluk, a Korean traditional koji for brewing, was made with wheat flour and Aspergillus usamii mot. shirousamii S1 which had strong abilities in producing amylase and protease. The cultural conditions for the production of saccharogenic and proteolytic enzymes were tested. The productivities of saccharogenic and dextrogenic enzymes were improved when nuluk was made with unsteamed wheat flour as compared with steamed one, but those of proteolytic enzyme and organic acid were reduced. The addition of water containing 0.5% of hydrochloric acid was unfavorable for the production of saccharogenic, dextrogenic and proteolytic enzymes. The optimum ratios of water added to wheat flour for the production of saccharogenic enzyme and proteolytic enzyme were 32% and 28%, respectively on the basis of wheat flour. The optimum temperatures for the production of saccharogenic enzyme and proteolytic enzyme were 36$^{\circ}C$ and 28$^{\circ}C$, respectively. The activity of saccharogenic enzyme reached its maximum after 120 hours of cultivation at 36$^{\circ}C$, but that of proteolytic enzyme 96 hours. The productivity of saccharogenic enzyme was enhanced when the nuluk was molded after 24 hours of precultivation but that of proteolytic enzyme was reduced as compared with no molding.

The strain YL 38-3, which was capable of producing extracellular cytosine deaminase, was isolated and taxonomically examined. The isolated strain was identified to be Bacillus polymyxa YL 38-3. The optimal conditions for the enzyme production from Bacillus polymyxa YL 38-3 were investigated. The enzyme production was reached maximum level in the medium containing 0.5% glucose, 0.2% beef extract, 0.5% NaCl and 0.1% $KH_{2}PO_{4}$ (pH 6.0). And the enzyme showed the highest activity when the strain YL 38-3 was cultivated at $35^{\circ}C$ for 24 gours under the initial pH 6.0. By the additions of peptone the extracellular enzyme production was inhibited, meanwhile the intracellular enzyme production was highly stimulated. It was, therefore, deduced that peptone was related to the secretion mechanism of the enzyme from this bacterial cell.

A selected fungal strain, for production of the raw-starchdigesting enzyme by solid-state fermentation, was improved by two repeated sequential exposures to ${\gamma}$-irradiation of $Co^{60}$, ultraviolet, and four repeated treatments with Nmethyl-N'-nitrosoguanidine. The mutant strain Aspergillus sp. XN15 was chosen after a rigorous screening process, with its production of the raw-starch-digesting enzyme being twice that of usual wild varieties cultured under preoptimized conditions and in an unsupplemented medium. After 17 successive subculturings, the enzyme production of the mutant was stable. Optimal conditions for the production of the enzyme by solid-state fermentation, using wheat bran as the substrate, were accomplished for the mutant Aspergillus sp. XN15. With the optimal fermentation conditions, and a solid medium supplemented with nitrogen sources of 1% urea and 1% $NH_4NO_3$, 2.5 mM $CoSO_4$, 0.05% (v/w) Tween 80, and 1% glucose, the mutant Aspergillus sp. XN15 produced the raw-starch-digesting enzyme in quantities 19.4 times greater than a typical wild variety. Finally, XN15, through simultaneous saccharification and fermentation of a raw rice corn starch slurry, produced a high level of ethanol with $Y_{p/s}$ of 0.47 g/g.

In this study, an organic solvent tolerant bacterial strain was isolated. This strain was identified as Pseudomonas sp. strain S5, and was shown to degrade BTEX (Benzene, Toluene, Ethyl-Benzene, and Xylene). Strain S5 generates an organic solvent-tolerant lipase in the late logarithmic phase of growth. Maximum lipase production was exhibited when peptone was utilized as the sole nitrogen source. Addition of any of the selected carbon sources to the medium resulted in a significant reduction of enzyme production. Lower lipase generation was noted when an inorganic nitrogen source was used as the sole nitrogen source. This bacterium hydrolyzed all tested triglycerides and the highest levels of pro-duction were observed when olive oil was used as a natural triglyceride. Basal medium containing Tween 60 enhanced lipase production to the most significant degree. The absence of magnesium ions ($Mg^{2+}$) in the basal medium was also shown to stimulate lipase production. Meanwhile, an alkaline earth metal ion, $Na^+$, was found to stimulate the production of S5 lipase.

This paper investigates the production and optimization of $\beta$-galactosidase enzyme using synthetic medium by Kluyveromyces lactis NRRL Y-8279 in stirred tank bioreactor. Response surface methodology was used to investigate the effects of fermentation parameters on $\beta$-galactosidase enzyme production. Maximum specific enzyme activity of 4,622.7 U/g was obtained at the optimum levels of process variables (aeration rate 2.21 vvm, agitation speed 173.4 rpm, initial sugar concentration 33.8 g/L, incubation time 24.0 hr). The optimum temperature and pH of the $\beta$-galactosidase enzyme produced under optimized conditions were $37^{\circ}C$ and pH 7.0, respectively. The enzyme was stable over a pH range of 6.0-7.5 and a temperature range of $25-37^{\circ}C$. The $K_m$ and $V_{max}$ values for O-nitrophenol-$\beta$-D-galactopyranoside (ONPG) were 1.20 mM and $1,000\;{\mu}mol/min{\cdot}mg$ protein, respectively. The response surface methodology was found to be useful in optimizing and determining the interactions among process variables in $\beta$-galactosidase enzyme production. Hence, this study fulfills the lack of using mathematical and statistical techniques in optimizing the $\beta$-galactosidase enzyme production in stirred tank bioreactor.
