To make fermented bamboo shoot liquid, we isolated and classified a microorganism growing in bamboo shoot and investigated its quality characteristics. Crude fiber, crude ash, nitrogen-free extracts, and total sugar contents were higher after fermentation. For free amino acids, only alanine was detected in the control group. Detected 13 kinds of free amino acids were detected in fermented bamboo shoot liquid. In organoleptic test, fermented bamboo shoot beverage containing 20 percent strawberry showed the highest consumer preference.

Contents of formed higher alcohols did not change about at 20 ppm of total nitrogen, but the contents were most at 200 ppm of total nitrogen especially in iso-amyl alcohol, and the contents showed decrease above at 400 ppm, greatly. Higher alcohols formation were high content at pH 4.0, but the contents were increase according to the condition of glucose and sucrose much. The formation of higher alcohols showed less in fermented condition of no elimination sample than in eliminated a mineral in each. Contents of higher alcohols were less in eliminated sample of biotine and inositol than in control, but the contents were higher than the others, and the contents showed especially high in eliminated nicotinic acid and thiamine. Higher alcohols formation were most at the content of SO\ulcorner in 20 ppm of them. The formation of higher alcohols showed more in Saccharomyces cerevisiae was form more in higher alcohols than Saccharomyces bayanus of two yeast strains.

Addition of l00mM $MgSO_4$ to a cell culture after 54 hours resulted in a 2.4-fold increase in the sisomicin titre compared to a control to which no $MgSO_4$ was added, and a considerable amount of intracellular sisomicin was liberated outside the cells. The occurrence of product inhibition in fermentation was confirmed by a reduction in net sisomicin production with increasing amounts of added sisomicin without addition of $MgSO_4$. All added sisomicin was bound to sisomicin-free cells in the absence of $MgSO_4$, whereas approximately 40% of added sisomicin was bound with the addition of l00mM $MgSO_4$. Under conditions of no enzmye synthesis, maintained by adding chloramphenicol to exclude product repression, sisomicin was produced in the presence of 100 mM $MgSO_4$ but little sisomicin was produced in the absence of $MgSO_4$.

Kajami Shik-hae processing consists of the fermentation of low salted Kajami (6% NaCl maximum) coated with a vegetable mixture, composed with cooked millet, red pepper, garlic and ginger. Lactic bacteria are the main component of the microflora. In order to determine their eventual selective role on the microflora the antimicrobial activity of garlic and red pepper was tested with some strain of bacteria and molds isolated from Shik-hae and Shik-hae raw materials. And the influence of their concentration in Kajami Shik-hae on the microflora was also checked. At the concentration of 10% garlic have no inhibitory activity against lactic bacteria but on strains of Bacillus, Micrococcus and Aspergillus niger. At the concentration of 20% red pepper showed a slight inhibitory activity on two strains of Bacillus. These results shows that red pepper and garlic are not only flavoring ingredients but they might play an important role in the control of the microflora growth and composition during Kajami Shik-hae fermentation.

The process of biological treatment of organic wastewater is principally associated with those of self-purification in the natural water environment. The treatment system has e intensive function of stabilizing wastewater more effectively than in natural water, which is like natural water concentrated in a small space. Biological treatment of wastewater involves activated sludge and various modified process, trickling filter, rotating disk, oxidation ditch, etc. for aerobic decomposition and anaerobic processes such as anaerobic decomposition and methane fermentation. The basic characteristic of these processes is the use of mixed culture for the conversion of pollutants. This review forcuses on the various kinds of microorganisms related to each treatment processes. Kinetic analysis of the activated sludge process is discussed in order to understand the basis of control and maintenance of the biological treatment process.

The harmful effects of succinic acid and oxidative stress on cell growth were determined during batch fermentation with Mannheimia succiniciproducens LPK7, a powerful succinic acid-producing strain, and conditions were optimized to minimize these effects. In terms of toxicity, the cell concentration decreased as the concentration of succinic acid increased. By changing the pH from 6.5 to 7 during fermentation, the cell concentration increased by about 10%, and the level of succinic acid production was 6% higher than that of the control. In addition, by introducing protectants, the cell concentration increased by about 10%, and the level of succinic acid produced was increased by 3%.

This study was undertaken to examine the effects of fresh ginseng on the physicochemical and microbiological changes in dongchimi juice fermented under various conditions. The pH was somewhat lower in dongchimi juice added with 2.0% and 4.0% of fresh ginseng than that without ginseng, whereas the titratable acidity was higher in dongchimi juice with 2.0% and 4.0% of ginseng addition than the control. The addition of fresh ginseng to dongchimi preparation increased the numbers of total viable bacteria, lactic acid bacteria including Leuconostac mesenterotdes in dongchimi juice during fermentation. The changes in the counts of lactic acid bacteria were similar to those of total viable cells throughout the experiment except the initial stage of fermentation. However, the number of Leucosfastoc mesenternidgs decreased after the palatable stage. Key words : Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer, dongchlmi juice, pH, titratable acidity, microbiological changes.

In order to develop a novel yeast which produces the charateristic aroma of soy sauce, a protoplast fusion between Zygosaccharomyces rouxii WFS4 and Torulopsis versatilis IAM 4993 was carried out. Auxotrophic mutants as selective markers were obtained from Zygosaccharomyces rouxii and Torulopsis versatilis by treatment of N-methyl-N -nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine. The conditions of the protoplast formation and the regeneration for fusion were examined. The protoplast fusion using polyethylene glycol 4000 led to the fusion frequency of $4~5{\times}10^{-7}\;cells/ml$. Among fusants, a fusant ST723-F31 presented the best results in terms of the aromaticity of fragrance, the growth pattern, the resistance against salt and the degree of growth according to pH. It makes easy to control the production and the balance of aroma components so that it gives a good flavor, shortens the fermentation period and, simplifies the preparation process when using a bioreactor into which fusant is immobilized.

In this study the optimal control of fed-batch glycerol fermentation is investigated based on an impulsive dynamical system. Considering the sudden increase of the glycerol and alkali in fed-batch culture of biodissimilation of glycerol to 1,3-propanediol, this paper proposes a non-linear impulsive system of fed-batch culture. The existence, uniqueness and regularity properties of piecewise solution for the system are proved. In view of the controllability of volumes of glycerol added to the reactor instantaneously, the paper constructs an optimal control model based on the nonlinear impulsive system and the existence of the optimal control is obtained. The control variables here are the moments and the sizes of jumps in the states at the discrete instants and the objective is to maximize the productivity of 1,3-propanediol over one cycle.

The optimal glucose concentration for the high-density culture of recombinant yeasts was obtained using dynamic simulation. An adaptive and predictive algoritilm complimented by the rule base was proposed for the control of the fed-batch fermentation process. The measurement of process variables has relatively long sampling period and relatively long time delay characteristics. As one of the solution on these problems, prediction techniques and rule bases were added to a classical recursive identification and control algorithm. Rule bases were used in the determination of control input considering the difference between the predicted value and the measured value. A mathelnatical model was used in the estimation and interpretation of the changes of state variables and parameters. Better performances were obtained by employing the control algorithm proposed in the present study compared to the conventional adaptive control method.
