For the improvement of productivity of Pleurotus ostreatus, the production of liquid spawn was studied. The highest liquid spawn production was obtained after shaking culture for 4 days in the culture medium containing 5%(W/V) wheat flour, 0.2%(W/V) yeast extract, 0.1%(W/V)$KNO_3$ 0.05% (W/V) $MgSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O$, 0.05%(W/V) $KH_2PO_4$. The optimum pH and temperature was 7.0 ana $30^{\circ}C$. The period required to complete the mycelial growth after spawning were 28, 22, 10 and 9 days, respectively, when the 2%(V/V) of solid spawn and 2%(V/V), 5% (V/V) and 10%(V/V) of liquid spawn were inoculated. The days required from spawning to fruiting bodies were 38, 34, 28 and 27 days.

The main objectives of the study were to investigate cultural characteristics of Phellinus linteus. The optimum culture media for mycelial growth of P. linteus were MYA (malt yeast agar) and SMS (soybean powder malt Sucrose). Similarly, optimum temperature and pH were $30^{\circ}C$ and 6.0, respectively. Malt extract (2%, v/v) and yeast extract (0.2%, v/v) were optimum carbon and nitrogen sources. Similarly, 0.1% $KH_2PO_4$ was optimum mineral salt. Highest mycelial growth was observed when C/N ratio was 10 : 1. Optimum inoculum amount for flask culture was $5{\sim}6$ mycelial discs (6 mm diameter) per 100 ml of liquid medium, Highest mycelial dry weight was obtained when cultured in 100 ml liquid medium in 300 ml shaking flask after 20 days of shaking culture, For mass liquid culture (8 l), flask culture was homogenized and used as an inoculum. Optimum culture period and aeration rate for 8l fermentation culture were 12 days and 2.0 vvm, respectively.

This study characterizes the growth of white rot fungi Phanerochaete chrysosporium IFO 31249) and lignin peroxidase(LiP) activity in different submerged culture media. P. chrysosporium was grown in the form of pellet of various sizes from a spore inoculum under shaking liquid culture condition. While the growth of mycelia was higher under the nitrogen-sufficient culture than under the nitrogen-limited culture, ligninase activity was relatively lower. The lignin peroxidase appeared in nitrogen-limited culture and was suppressed by excess nitrogen. High level(40U/l) of lignin peroxidase activity was obtained in the growth medium containing 1.5mM veratryl alcohol, a secondary metabolite of P. chrysosporium. Lignin peroxidase production was not observed under conditions of nitrogen sufficiency or in balanced media, suggesting that control parameters could increase the activity by manipulating the secondary metabolism.

This study was conducted to determine the optimum cultural condition and method for in vitro mass production of Hibiscus syriacus L. 'Honghwarang'. When callus induced in MS solid medium supplemented with 0.01 mg/L TDZ was cultured in liquid medium containing 0.01mg/L TDZ, callus growth and shoot primordia formation was most effective. Formed shoot primordia were regenerated into shoot in MS or 1/2 MS medium of growth regulator-free condition. Effects of mesh size, shaking speed on callus and shoot primordia formation were examined after 5 weeks. Callus and shoot primordia formation was formed most effectively at 10 mesh and 80 rpm shaking speed in liquid medium.

For the production of probiotic feed enriched with viable yeasts, aerobic liquid culture of Kluyveromyces marxianus was attempted in pulverized residual food wastes. After the preliminary shaking culture result, the liquid food wastes was added with urea($0.5g/{\ell}$), o-phosphate($0.4g/{\ell}$ ), molasses($4g/{\ell}$), and yeast extract($1g/{\ell}$), and the fermentation was carried out in 2-litre jar fermenter. In 12 hours of aerobic mixed culture with Aspersillus oryzae, viable cell count of the yeast reached to the number of $1.4{\times}10^{10}/{\ell}$ in the cultured medium.

Currently, the spawn of the mushroom Agarcus bisporus is produced by a method developed in the 1980s, and anew spawning method needs to be developed to improve the quality of the spawn. In this study, the condition for a maximum mycelium weight(5.92±0.52 g/L) was shaking culture (24 hours/day) at 24℃ and 120 rpm in CDB (compost dextrose broth). Based on this, the ventilated liquid culture method (2.5 L/min) was cultured for 10 days. This method was appropriate, andwhen the inoculum was cultured at 50 g/mL for about 10 days, it was cultured well without agglomeration and shaking of seed.

The effect of nutrient nitrogen on the degradation of pentachlorophenol (PCP) by Phanerochaete chrysosporium in a liquid culture was investigated. PCP disappeared at almost the same rate in both nutrient nitrogen-sufficient (NS) and -limited (NL) sttionary cultures. However, more pentachloroanisole (PCA) was accumulated in the NS culture than in the NL culture. The effect of nitrogen on the degradation of PCA was also tested in both cultures. PCA disappeared faster in the NL culture than in the NS culture, indicating that the lower accumulation of PCA during the degradation of PCP in the NL culture was due to the faster degradation of PCA in the NL culture than in the NS culture. In another experiment, PCA was added to shaking cultures rather than stationary cultures to search for any other metabolite(s). While no other metabolite but PCA was found in the NS stationary culture, 2,4,5,6-tetrachloro-2,5-cyclohexadiene-1,4-dione(TCHD) was found as the only indentifiable product in the NL shaking culture. Thus, PCP would appear to be metabolized to TCHD via PCa or directly oxidized to TCHD by lignin peroxidase. Since all the above results indicate that no innocuous metabolite was formed during the degradation of PCP by the fungus, it is quite feasible to use the fungus in the biotreatment of PCP.

The saccharogenic liquid (SFW) obtained by the enzymatic saccharification of food wastes was used as a medium for production of bacterial cellulose (BC). The enzymatic saccharification of food wastes was carried out by the cultivation supernatant of Trichoderma harziaum FJ1 culture. Acetobacter xylinum KJ1 was employed for the BC production culture. The physical properties, such as polymerization, crystallinity, Young's modulus, and tensile strength, of BCs produced by three culture methods: the static cultures using HS (Hestrin-Schramm) as a reference medium (A) or the SFW medium (B), the shaking culture (C) or the air circulation culture (D) using the SFW medium, were investigated. The degrees of polymerization of BCs produced under the different culture conditions (A-D) showed 11000, 9500, 8500, and 9200, respectively. Young's modulus was 4.15, 5.0, 4.0, and 4.6 GPa, respectively. Tensile strength was 124, 200, 80, and 184 MPa, respectively. All of the BC had a form of cellulose I representing pure cellulose. In the case of the shaking culture, the degree of crystallinity was 51.2%, the lowest degree. Under the other culturing conditions, the trend should remain in the range of 89.7-84%. Overall, the physical properties of BC produced from SFW were similar to those of BC from HS medium, a commercial complex medium, and BC production by the air circulation culture mode brought more favorable results in terms of the physical properties and its ease of scale-up. Therefore, it is expected that a new BC production method, like air circulation culture using SFW, would contribute greatly to BC-related manufacturing.

The principal objective of this study was to determine the optimal liquid culture conditions in shake flasks for maximal sporulation of Beauveria bassiana. The optimal initial pH for the spore production of B. bassiana using Potato Dextrose Broth was 5.2. The screening in shake flasks of carbon and nitrogen sources resulted in the identification of an optimal medium based on 3% sucrose and 1% casamino acid, with a C : N ratio of 22 : 4. Using this medium, a production level of $5.65{\times}10^7$ spores per ml was obtained after 5 days of culture. Using 3% corn meal, 2% corn steep powder, and 2% rice bran, the maximum spore concentration of $8.54{\times}10^8$/ml was achieved 8 days after inoculation at $25^{\circ}C$ in a rotary shaking incubator operated at 200 rpm. This represents a yield gain of approximately 2.89 times that of pre-optimization.

The optimum cultural conditions for production of red pigment from Monascus rubber KCTC 6122 is liquid culture were studied. Monascus robber KCTC 6122 was shown to give the maximum production of red pigment in the medium containing 4％ rice powder, 0.2％ NaNO$_3$, 0.3％ Na$_2$HP0$_4$ and 0.15％ MgSO$_4$. The optimum culture conditions, temperature, initial pH and shaking speed were 30$^{\circ}C$, 6.5 and 150 rpm, respectively. The red pigment production reached a maximum level at 8days of cultivation.
