Mycelial growth, color difference and productivity of red pigment of beni-koji by Monascus anka KCCM 11832 were examined with respect to it's pigment in submerged culture with various medium and culture conditions. Shaking incubation was more promoted mycelial growth and the production of pigments than that for non-shaking incubation, and red color became ten times deeper. The production of red pigment was the highest when incubated at 25$\circ$C for 7 days in pH 6.0, but mycelial growth was showed the highest at 32.5$\circ$C. The levels of carbon and nitrogen source for maximum red pigment production were 2% rice powder and 0.05% peptone, respectively and the level of peptone for maximum pigment production was lower than that for maximum mycelial growth. Among pigmentation promoting agents tested, MgSO$_{4}$, was found to be suitable for the production of red pigment, and the optimum level was 0.1%.

The neurotoxin of Clostridium botulinum type B was purified from a liquid culture. The purification steps consist of ammonium sulfate precipitation of whole culture, treatment of Polymin P(0.15%, v/v), gel filtration on Sephadex G-100 at pH5.6 and DEAE-Sephadex charomatography at pH8.0. The procedure recovered 17% of the toxin assayed in the starting culture. The toxin was homogeneous by sodium dodecyl sulfate(SDS)-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and had a molecular weight of 163, 000. Subunits of 106, 000 and 56, 000 molecular weight were found when purified toxin was treated with a disulfide-reducing agent and electro phoresed on SDS-polyacrylamide gels.

For the probiotic feed production, aerobic liquid fermentation of pulverized food wastes was attempted with a yeast Kluyveromyces marxianus. After grinding finely, optimal fermentation conditions of the substrate was investigated by shaking culture. The most active growth of the yeast was shown at solid content of 10%. The proper addition of urea(0.5g/l), o-phosphate(0.4g/l), molasses(4g/l), and yeast extract (1g/1) increased cell growth rate and viable cell count. For optimizing, the nutrients were all added to substrate and fermentation was carried in 2 litre jar fermenter. For the stimulation of hydrolyzing enzyme excretion, mixed culture with Aspersillus oryzae was also conducted. In 12 hours of fermentation, viable cell count of the yeast Kluyveromyces marxianus amounted to the number of 1.4 $\times$10$^{10}$ /1 in the culture medium.

The objective of this work was to accomplish the isolation, molecular identification and characterizing the physiology of the causal agent of the algal spot in mango trees. For this purpose, the pathogen growth was assessed in different culture media, with subsequent observation and measurements of the filamentous cells. The molecular identification was made using mycelium obtained from leaf lesions and pure algae colonies grown in culture medium. Descriptions based on DNA sequencing indicated that the algae is Cephaleuros virescens. The algae must be isolated primarily in liquid medium for further pricking into agar medium. The highest mycelial growth average in Petri dishes occurred when the algae were grown in Trebouxia and BBM. Trebouxia enabled larger cells in the filamentous cells when compared to other culture media.

It was reported in our Previous paper that the fermented products from Gloeostereum incarnatum strongly inhibit the growth of six kinds of bacteria in human bodies. In this paper the appropriated conditions of immersing culture for the strain 8 903 of Gloeostereum incarnatum was analysed. And the output of the hypha and fermentative product was determined or compared. The prelimenaryresults showed that the appropriated conditions for the growth of Gloeostereum incarnatum are: (1)culture medium:glucose 3%; protein peoptne 0.2%; soybeancake power 1% yeast power 0.3%; KH2PO40.05%; MgSO4 0.03%; CaCO3 0.01%; vitamin Bl 0.001%; befor sterilization pH Value of six should be maintained; (2) temperature; 27f ~28f ; (3) time; about 200 hours; (4) ventilation; (30%∼50%)/min. The sigh of the end culture are: pH coming down about 4: remnant glucoses less 1%; amino nitrogens about 20%; time about eight days. In the aforementioned conditions, the output of fermentative product achieve to 2.5∼3g/L.

The study for the quantitative analysis of saikosaponin of Bupleurum falcatum root produced by tissue culture was attempted. The optimal concentration of 2,4-D was 0.1 mg/l for inducing the callus. The induction and growth of the adventitious root from the callus was obtained in the suspension culture containing MS basal medium supplemented with no plant growth regulators. The results of the quantitative analysis of saikosaponins by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) showed that the content of saikosaponin a and c was high in the one-year-old root from somatic embryos and that of saikosaponin d was remarkably high in three-months-old adventitious root from callus.

The mycolic acids and fatty acids of mycolic acid- containing bacteria in various types of fluids were analyzed using capillary gas chromatography and mass spectrometry. As model strains, Brevibacterium and Coryebacterium species, which have corynomycolic acids ill the range of $C_{32}C_{36}$ in the whole cell, were investigated. Optimized solvents extraction procedures for the mycolic acids and fatty acids from the culture fluids were: chloroform/methanol (1:2, v/v) as the first extraction solvents fur 4 h; and chlorofunuwater (1:1, v/v) as the second extraction solvents far 1 h. These conditions gave above 95% recovery yields fur mycolic acids from the culture fluids. The mycolic acid profile for the whole cells and the culture fluids were similar fur all the media tested. Thus, the procedure described here could be applied for the identification of mycolic acid-containing bacteria in fermentation broth or liquid from of foods.

The high molecular-weight mucilage extracted and purified from cactus fruit of Opuntia ficus-indica var. Saboten was degraded by the cell-free culture filtrate of a fungus isolated from soil. TLC analysis of the polymeric mucilage after incubation with the fungal culture filtrate confirmed its degradation. When the degradation products were tested for their qualitative reactions with ninhydrin and phenol-sulfuric acid, only phenol-sulfuric acid gave positive development, and ninhydrin did not show any observable color reaction. This coloring reaction suggested the presence of a carbohydrate without an amino group within the mucilage. Analyses by HPLC and liquid gel permeation chromatography on sephadex G-100 also provided additional information on degradation of the mucilage by the fungal culture filtrate. The sequences of ITS-5.8S rDNA from the fungal isolate that was cultivated for the preparation of mucilage-degrading enzyme showed 99% similarity to those of Pestalotiopsis aquatica.

In order to clarify effects of phytohormones on the viability and the cell wall regeneration of protoplasts isolated from Nicotiana tobacum L. var. BY4, protoplasts isolated from mesophyll tissue were cultured on the Murashige-Skoog liquid media supplemented with auxin(2, 4-D, NAA, IAA) and/or cytokinin (kinetin, BAP, 2ip). Viability of protopplasts was higher in the culture medium containing auxin and cytokinin, especially in the combination of 2, 4-D and BAP. The effectual cell wall regeneration of protolasts was observed when theprotoplasts were cultrued on the medium supplemented with auxin alone, especially with IAA. Cell wall regernation started from 2-3 days after culture and was not detected at budding regions. When the protoplasts were cultured on the phytohormone-free medium, the viability of protoplasts dramatically decreased 4 days after culture.
