For mass production of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), high cell density cultures of Alcaligenes eutrophus by fed-batch culture under phosphate-limitation condition has been investigated. PHA accumulation by the regulation by the regulation of initial phosphate concentration could be automatically induced, and high density cell culture above 200 g/L also could be successfully produced. The production of Poly-$\beta$-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) and dry cell weight increased with increasing the initial phosphate concentration. When the initial concentrations of phosphate were in the ranges of 1.5~4.5 g-PO$_4$/L, PHB and dry cell weight obtained were 83~266 g/L and 61~216 g/L, respectively, and PHB productivity was in the ranges of 1.35~3.10 g/L.h. When a mixture of glucose and propionic acid is used as carbon sources, poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-poly-3-hydroxyvalerate), P(3HB-co-3HV), could be also successfully produced under phosphate limitation condition. When the mole ratio of propionic acid to glucose in the feeding solution is 0.22, a final dry cell weight of 150 g/L and a P(3-HB-co-3HV) of 90 g/L were produced. Morphological changes and size distribution of PHB granules synthesized in A. eutrophus under phosphate-limitation condition are determined by TEM during the course of fed-batch. Mean granule diameters of PHB produced are in the range of 0.36~0.39 $\mu$m, and mean cell size was elongated from 0.54~0.59 $\mu$m$\times$ 1.3~1.5 $\mu$m to 0.83~0.89 $\mu$m $\times$2.0~2.3 $\mu$m. Phosphate concentration in media did not affect size distribution of PHB granule and cell.

In order to improve bio-ethanol productivity by various cultivation methods in this paper, the culture modes using food wastes, such as batch culture, high-cell-density fermentation, SSF (simultaneous saccharification and fermentation) by fill & draw, continuous culture by fill & draw were performed and their productivities were compared. SSFs by fill & draw were performed by continuous decompression using 1 L evaporator system, and by 10 L bioreactor without decompression. In addition, the continuous cultures by fill & draw mode using SFW (saccharafied food wastes) medium were performed by changes of 40% culture broth with intervals of 12 h (0.03 $h^{-1}$), 6 h (0.07 $h^{-1}$), 3 h (0.13 $h^{-1}$). Consequently, productivities of bio-ethanol were 2.52 g/L-h and 1.30 g/L-h in batch culture and high- cell-density fermentation, respectively. The productivities of SSF by fill & draw showed 2.24 g/L-h and 2.03 g/L-h in continuous decompression with 1 L evaporator and 10 L bioreactor without decompression, respectively. Also, the productivities in continuous culture by fill & draw modes showed 2.02 g/L-h, 4.07 g/L-h and 6.25 g/L-h by medium change with intervals of 12 h, 6 h, and 3 h, respectively. In conclusion, the highest ethanol productivity was obtained in the continuous culture mode by fill & draw with dilution rate of 0.13 $h^{-1}$.

The objective of this study was to determine the effect of different stocker management programs on skeletal muscle development and growth characteristics, satellite cell (SC) activity in growing-finishing beef cattle as well as the effects of SC-conditioned media on preadipocyte gene expression and differentiation. Fall-weaned Angus steers (n = 76; $258{\pm}28kg$) were randomly assigned to 1 of 4 stocker production systems: 1) grazing dormant native range (NR) supplemented with a 40% CP cottonseed meal-based supplement ($1.02kg{\cdot}steer^{-1}{\cdot}d^{-1}$) followed by long-season summer grazing (CON, 0.46 kg/d); 2) grazing dormant NR supplemented with a ground corn and soybean meal-based supplement fed at 1% of BW followed by short-season summer grazing (CORN, 0.61 kg/d); 3) grazing winter wheat pasture (WP) at high stocking density (3.21 steers/ha) to achieve a moderate rate of gain (LGWP, 0.83 kg/d); and 4) grazing winter WP at low stocking density (0.99 steers/ha) to achieve a high rate of gain (HGWP, 1.29 kg/d). At the end of the stocker (intermediate harvest, IH) and finishing (final harvest, FH) phases, 4 steers / treatment were harvested and longissimus muscles (LM) sampled for cryohistological immunofluorescence analysis and SC culture assays. At IH, WP steers had greater LM fiber cross-sectional area than NR steers; however, at FH, the opposite was observed (p < 0.0001). At IH, CORN steers had the lowest Myf-5+:Pax7+ SC density (p = 0.020), while LGWP steers had the most Pax7+ SC (p = 0.043). At FH, CON steers had the highest LM capillary density (p = 0.003) and their cultured SC differentiated more readily than all other treatments (p = 0.017). At FH, Pax7 mRNA was more abundant in 14 d-old SC cultures from HGWP cattle (p = 0.03). Preadipocytes exposed to culture media from proliferating SC cultures from WP cattle isolated at FH had more $PPAR{\gamma}$ (p = 0.037) and less FABP4 (p = 0.030) mRNA expression compared with NR cattle. These data suggest that different stocker management strategies can impact skeletal muscle growth, SC function, and potentially impact marbling development in growing-finishing beef cattle.

RNA 함량이 증가되고, 증식속도가 더 빠른 효모 변이주를 선별하기 위해, 모균주 Saccharomyces cerevisiae MTY62 세포에 화학적 돌연변이제인 ethylmethane sulfonate를 처리하여, YPD 배지에서는 잘 자라고 KCl 함유 배지에서는 자라지 않는 변이주들을 선별하였다. 이 변이주들 중 시험관 및 플라스크 배양을 통해 균체농도와 RNA 함량이 모균주 MTY62에 비해 각각 1.5배, 1.3배 증가한 M40-10 변이주를 최종적으로 선별하였다. 변이주 M40-l0을 발효조 회분배양한 결과, 최대비증식속도는 $0.38 h^{-1}$ , RNA 농도는 3210 mg-RNA/1, RNA 함량은 183mg-RNA/g-DCW 값을 보여, 모균주에 비해 각각 23%, 15%, 12%씩 증가하였다. M40-10 변이주를 간헐적 유가배양한 결과, 최대 균체농도는 35.6 g-DCW/1을, 최대 RNA 농도는 5677mg-RNA/l을, RNA함량은 160 mg-RNA/g-DCW을 나타내어 모균주보다 우수하였다. 일정속도의 유가배양에서도 M40-10 변이주의 최대 균체농도는 46.4g-DCW/1, RNA 농도는 6270mg-RNA/1, RNA 함량은 135mg-RNA/g-DCW을 보였다. 이들 유가배양에서 배양 중반기인 20시간 전후에서는 모균주에 비해 변이주의 세포농도는 30%, RNA 농도는 10% 정도 증가되었다. 또한 유가배양 말기까지도 RNA 분해는 거의 일어나지 않아, M40-10 변이주는 산성 RNase 활성이 크게 감소한 변이주임을 알 수 있었다.

To examine the feasibility of the long-term production of the human granulocyte colony stimulating factor (hG-CSF) using the $_{L}-arabinose$ promoter system of Escherichia coli, flask relay culture and cyclic fed-batch culture were performed. In the flask relay culture, it was found that the pismid was maintained stably up to about 170 generations in an uninduced condition, whereby the cells could also maintain the capability of expressing hG-CSF expression were maintained stably up to at least 100 generations. In contrast, in the cyclid fed-batch culture, segregational plasmid instability was observed within about 4 generations after induction, even though the cell growth and hG-CSF production reached their maximum balues, 78.0 g/l of dry cell weight and 7.0 g/l of hG-CSF, respectively. It would appear that, when compared to the flask relay culture, the high-cell density and high-level expression of hG-CSF in the cyclic fed-batch cultrure led to the segregational plasmid instability; in other words, a severe metabolic burden existe on the cells due to the high-level expression of hG-CSF. Accordingly, based on these long-term cultures, the segregational and structural plasmid instability was observed and a strategy to overcome such problems could be designed.

A synthetic defined medium, fortified with amino acids, was developed for the stable production of the kringle fragments of human apolipoprotein(a) (apo(a)), rhLK68. Using a complex rich medium containing yeast extract and a high-cell-density fed-batch culture, the expression level of rhLK68 reached 17% of the total cellular protein, which corresponded to $5\;g\;l^{-1}$ of the culture. To replace the complex media with chemically defined media, several amino acids that positively affect cell growth and gene expression were chosen by a statistical method. The various combinations of the selected amino acids were tested for its fortifying effect on a minimal defined medium. When glutamine only was added, the overall expression level of rhLK68 reached 93% of the complex rich medium increasing the specific expression level by 22.4% and decreasing the cell growth by 24%. Moreover, the addition of glutamine resulted in a 2-fold increase in the concentration of rhLK68 in the culture broth, compared with the minimal defined medium. The synthetic defined media developed in this study could be generally applied to high-cell-density cultures of the recombinant Escherichia coli BL21(DE3), especially for the production of therapeutic proteins that require a strict quality control of the culture media and fermentation processes.

유산균을 고농도로 배양하기 위하여 $CaCO_3$를 각각 15% 와 20%씩 첨가하여 직경이 서로 다른 $CaCO_3$-alginate beads를 제조한 후, lactic acid에 대한 $CaCO_3$-alginate beads의 반응 특성과 완충효과를 관찰하였으며, lactic acid에 대하여 완충작용이 있는 $CaCO_3$-alginate beads를 이용하여 S. thermophilus ST-Body 1과 L. amylovorus DU-21을 고농도 배양하여 직접투입식 starter를 제조하였다. 본 연구에서 제조된 $CaCO_3$-alginate beads는 $CaCO_3$, alginate 함량 및 수분 함유율이 beads에 일정하게 고루 분포되어 있으며, 일정한 밀도를 갖는 입자임을 알 수 있었다. 또한 lactic acid에 대한 beads의 반응은 표면으로부터 일어나기 시작하여 내부로 진행됨을 확인하였으며, $CaCO_3$-alginate beads 양의 증가는 결국 lactic acid와 반응할 수 있는 $CaCO_3$ 표면적의 증가를 가져오게 되며, 단위시간당 lactic acid와 반응하는 $CaCO_3$의 상대적 증가를 가져오기 때문에 $CaCO_3$-alginate beads 양의 증가는 lactic acid 용액 내부의 중화작용의 증가를 가져온다는 것을 확인하였다. 즉, $CaCO_3$-alginate beads의 직경이 작을수록, 내부의 $CaCO_3$ 함량이 높을수록, 단위 부피당 넓은 표면적과 높은 중화작용을 가지므로 $CaCO_3$-alginate beads를 pH neutralizer로 이용하여 유산균을 배양할 경우에는 $CaCO_3$ 함량이 높고 직경이 작은 $CaCO_3$-alginate beads의 이용이 유산균 배양에 효과적임을 알 수 있었다. $CaCO_3$-alginate beads를 이용한 유산균의 고농도 배양시, pH와 생균수와의 상관성과 선형관계를 단순회귀분석법(simple regression)을 이용하여 최소자승추정량(least square estimator; LSE)을 구하여 검증한 결과, 각 X의 회귀계수의 값은 통계적으로 유의한 결과(p<0.05, p<0.01)를 보였다. 또한 $R^2$ 값은 S. thermophilus ST-Body 1와 L. amylovorus DU-21의 경우, $CaCO_3$-alginate beads 무첨가구와 첨가구에서 각각 0.6310, 0.7505, 0.7452, 0.7609이였다. 이는 pH가 균 증식에 다소나마 영향을 주는 것을 나타낸다. 고농도로 배양된 S. thermophilus ST-Body 1과 L. amylovorus DU-21 균주를 이용하여 직접투입식 starter를 제조한 결과, 동결건조 보호제로 15% glycerol을 이용하였을 때 각각 91.96${\pm}$1.35%와 89.09${\pm}$4.49%의 생존율을 보였다. 본 연구에서 확립된 기법은 probiotics 조제나 정장제 조제방법에 있어서도 공히 적용 가능하므로 미생물 세포의 이용기법으로 그 생존율과 발효에 연관되는 기능보존과 수반되는 여러 분야에 적용한다는 면에서 산업적으로 중요하다고 사료된다.

For mass production of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB), high cell density cultures of Ralstonia eutropha were carried out in 2.5-1 and 60-1 fermentors by two fed-batch culture techniques of nitrogen and phosphate limitation. When the nitrogen limitation technique was employed using both an on-line glucose monitoring and control system, a high concentration level of PHB (121g/l) was obtained in the small-scale fermentor of 2.5 1. However, the PHB concentration obtained in a large-scale fermentor of 60 1 only turned out to be 60g/l. In contrast, when another fed-batch culture technique of the phosphate-limitation employing dissolved oxygen (DO) stat glucose feeding was used, a large amount of PHB was successfully produced in both 60-1 and 2.5-1 fermentors. In a 2.5-1 fermentor, concentrations of PHB and cells obtained in 58 h were 175 and 210 g/l, respectively, which corresponded to the PHB productivity level of 3.02 g/l/h. In a 60-1 fermentor, a final cell concentration of 221 g/l and a PHB concentration of 180 g/l with PHB productivity level of 3.75 g/l/h were obtained in 48h. PHB content and yield from glucose were 81% and 0.38g PHB/g glucose, respectively. These data suggest that the phosphate limitation technique is more effective compared to nitrogen limitation in the mass production of PHB by R. eutropha of a large scale.
