Several microorganisms were isolated and characterized for the development of fermentation accelerator of animal manure. Firstly, 61 species were isolated from rice bran extract. Secondly, five strains of microorganisms were screened by the analysis of hydrolysis activities for organic compounds including protease, cellulase, amylase, and lipase. From a deodorization test for ammonia gas using the isolated strains, finally three bacterial strains were selected (NA 2, 12, 15). The selected strains, NA 2 and 15 were identified as Bacillus acidocaldarius and Planococcus sp. respectively. The media composition of key nutrients and pH for the mixed culture of the three selected strains were optimized using an experimental design method (response surface method) as follows : beef extract (4.59g/L), peptone (8.72g/L) and pH 6.3. Consequently, the isolated microorganisms seem to have potential applicability in the animal manure treatment.

Squid was fermented with fermentation accelerators to develop a natural complex seasoning. The quality properties of fermented squid were determined at different fermentation periods. Squid fermented with 10% Aspergillus oryzae koji for 10 days had the highest amino-N, acidity, and total viable cell content during fermentation periods, whereas volatile basic nitrogen content and pH were the lowest. Based on the amino-N content, squid with 10% koji fermented for 10 days was selected for further analyses. The inosine and glutamic acid contents of the fermented squid were highest innucleotide composition, their related compounds, and free amino acids, respectively. The $IC_{50}$ values of the fermented squid on DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging and ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitory activities were 6.20 and 4.41 mg/mL, respectively. Based on the results of a sensory evaluation, the fermented squid seasoning was similar to other natural complex seasonings such as anchovy, cowmeat, and fisheries seasonings.

The purpose of this study was to prepare accelerated salt-fermented anchovy sauce using a shrimp processing byproducts (head, shell and tail) as a fermenting accelerator, and to investigate its physicochemical and enzymatic properties. Four types of sauces were prepared with 0, 10, 20, and 30$\%$ (w/w) addition of shrimp byproduct and fermented at 24$\pm$2$^{\circ}C$ for 360 days. During fermentation, all four type sauces decreased moisture content (67.5$\%$68.0$\%$ to 64.0$\∼$64.8$\%$) and pH (5.52$\∼$7.10 to 5.03$\∼$6.58), but showed increase in their crude protein (7.0$\∼$8.2 to 10.8$\%$) and volatile basic nitrogen contents (40$\∼$75 to 180$\∼$200 mg/100 g of sauce). The ratio of amino nitrogen to total nitrogen contents of control (0$\%$) and sauce with 10$\%$ shrimp byproducts (10$\%$ sauce) were maximized at 270 days, whereas 20$ \% $ and 30$\%$ added sauces were at 180 days. Endoprotease and exoprotease activities of anchovy sauces added with 20$\%$ and 30$\%$ of shrimp byproducts tend to be higher than those of control (0$\%$) and 10$\%$ addition. Proteolytic activities of sauces at pH 9 were about 2 times higher than those at pH 6. Amidolytic activities for LeuPNA decreased remarkably during fermentation, and control (0$\%$) almost lost their activity at 180 days, while additional sauces were relatively stable. These suggest that alkaline pretense of anchovy and shrimp byproducts as a endoprotease mainly contributed to the fermentation of salt-fermented sauces. The protein molecular weight distribution of sauces indicated 2 groups of peaks (peak 1,>70,000 da and peak 2, 3,000$\∼$29,000 da). As the fermentation proceeded, peak 1 tended to decrease in all of sauces, but peak 2 increased rapidly from 30 to 270 days. Optimum fermentation periods of control and 10$\%$ sauces were 270 days and those of 20$\%$ and 30$\%$ sauce were 180 days. The results suggest that shrimp byproduct can be used as accelerator of salt-fermented sauce.

Lactic acid is an environmentally benign organic acid that could be used as a raw material for biodegradable plastics if it can be inexpensively produced by fermentation. Two genes (ldhL and ldhD) encoding the L-(+) and D-(-) lactate dehydrogenases (L-LDH and D-LDH) were cloned from Lactobacillus sp., RKY2, which is a lactic acid hyper-producing bacterium isolated from Kimchi. Open reading frames of ldhL for and ldhD for the L and D-LDH genes were 962 and 998 bp, respectively. Both the L(+)- and D(-)-LDH proteins showed the highest degree of homology with the L- and D-lactate dehydrogenase genes of Lactobacillus plantarum. The conserved residues in the catalytic activity and substrate binding of both LDHs were identified in both enzymes.

Dextranase (${\alpha}$-1,6-D-glucan-6-glucanogydrolase:E.C. 3.2.1.11) catalyzes the hydrolysis of ${\alpha}$-(1.6) linkages of dextran. A lsd1 gene encoding an extracellular dextranase was isolated from the genomic DNA of L. starkeyi. The lsd11 gene is a synthetic dextranase (lsd1) after codon optimization for gene expression with Pichia pastoris system. A open reading frame of lsd11 gene was 1827 bp and it was inserted into the pPIC3.5K expression vector. The plasmid linearized by Sac I was integrated into the 5'AOX region of the chromosomal DNA of P. pastoris. The lsd11 gene fragment encoding a mature protein of 608 amino acids with a predicted molecular weight of 70 kDa, was expressed in the methylotrophic yeast P. pastoris by controling the alcohol oxidase-1 (AOX1) promoter. The recombinant lds11 was optimized by using the shake-flask expression and upscaled using fermentation technology. More than 9.8 mg/L of active dextranase was obtained after induction by methanol. The optimum pH of LSD11 was found to be 5.5 and the optimum temperature $28^{\circ}C$.
