As a basic studies for the laboratory scale production of alfalfa inoculum, Rhizobium meliloti M14 was characterized for its carbon and nitrogen sources, and some parameters for broth cultivation in a chemostat were studied by semi-continuous operation. The result s obtained were as follows. 1. Growth rate of the strain was increased by disaccharides than by monosaccharides tested, and pentoses resulted in poor growth than hexoses. Sugar alcohols including inositol supported the best growth among sugars. 2. Mannitol in the yeast-mannitol-broth was substituted by natural carbon sources such as malt extract or molasses. 3. Ten per cent of fresh yeast water appeared to supply enough amount of growth factor s for the strain, and the effect was equivalent to 0.24 percent of the commercial yeast extract powder. 4. Batch growth of the stain in a chemostat, New Brunswick Micro Ferm 28L, reached in the early stationary growth phase of $5{\sim}7{\times}10^9cells/ml$ after 36 hours of incubation. The culture at this stage was switched to semi-continuous cultivation, and the culture broth of four-fifth of the working volume was recovered every 24 hours when the maximal count was obtained.

Oilseed crop Camelina (Camelina sativa L.) is a suitable for biodiesel production that has high adaptability under low-nutrient condition like marginal land and requires low-input cost for cultivation. Enhanced abiotic stress tolerance of Camelina is very important for oil production under the wide range of different climate. CsRCI2s (Rare Cold Inducible 2) are related proteins in various abiotic stresses that predicted to localized at plasma membrane (PM) and endoplasmic reticulum (ER). These proteins are consist of eight-family that can be divided into tail (CsRCI2D/E/F/G) and no-tail (CsRCI2A/B/E/H) type of C-terminal. However, it is still less understood the function of C-terminal tail. In this study, CsRCI2D/H genes were cloned through gateway cloning system that used pCB302-3 as destination vector. And we used agrobacterium-mediated transformation system for generation of overexpression (OX) transformants. Overexpression of target gene was confirmed using RT-PCR and segregation ratio on selection media. We analyzed physiological response in media and soil under abiotic stresses using CsRCI2D and CsRCI2H overexpression plant. To compare abiotic stresses tolerance, wild type and CsRCI2D/H OX line seeds were sown on agar plate treated with various NaCl and mannitol concentration for 7 days. In the test of growth rate under abiotic stress on media, CsRCI2H OX line showed similar to NaCl and mannitol stress. In the other hand, CsRCI2D OX line showed to be improved stress tolerance that especially increased in 200mM NaCl but was similar on mannitol media. In greenhouse, WT and CsRCI2D/H OX lines for physiological analysis and productivity under abiotic stresses were treated 100, 150, 200mM NaCl. Then it was measured various parameters such as leaf width and length, plant height, total seed weight, flower number, seed number. CsRCI2H OX line in greenhouse did not show any changes in physiological parameters but CsRCI2D OX line was improved both physiological response and productivity under NaCl stress. Among physiological parameters of CsRCI2D OX line under NaCl stress, leaf length and width were observed shorter than WT but it were slightly longer than WT in 200mM NaCl stress. Furthermore, total seed weight of CsRCI2D OX line under stress displayed to decrease than WT in normal condition, but it was gradually raised with increasing NaCl stress then more than WT relatively. These results suggested CsRCI2D might be contribute to improve abiotic stress tolerance. However, function of CsRCI2H is need to more detail study. In conclusion, overexpression of CsRCI2s family can generate various environmental stress tolerance plant and may improve crop productivity for bio-energy production.

Bacillus sp. YBL-7 which had been isolated from ginseng root-rot suppressive soil was able to antagonize Fusarium solani causing ginseng root-rot by their antibiotic substance. In order to develop multifunctional antagonist on Bacillus sp. YBL-7 as a biocontrol agent against Fusarium salam', optimal conditions for protoplast transformation system of Bacillus sp.YBL-7 by the vector plasmid pE194 were investigated. The protoplasts of Bacillus sp. YBL-7 were obtained at best efficiency by treatment with 200${\mu}g$/ml of lysozyme in the pH 7.0 of SMM buffer for 90 minutes at $40^{\circ}C$. The cell wall of the protoplast was regenerated on the agar plate containing 1.2% agar and 0.7 M mannitol. Under the best condition for protoplast formation and regeneration, the optimal transformation was achieved with 40% polyethylene glycol (M.W. 4000) treatment for 10minutes. The vector plasmid pE194 showed the best transformation frequency at 5$\mu$g/ml of final concentration. The pE194 was very stable over 80% in the transformants.

Raw and washed spinaches were tested to evaluate the incidences of Aeromonas hydrophila, Escherichia coli O157:H7, Plesiomonas shigelloides, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella spp., Shigella spp., Yersinia enterocolitica, Bacillus cereus, Campylobacter jejuni, Clostridium perfringens, Listeria monocytogenes, and Staphylococcus aureus. Four pathogenic bacteria were isolated from spinach samples, and identified by morphological and biochemical methods, including API and ATB identification systems. Isolates from MacConkey, Cereus Selective, Clostridium Perfringens, and Baird-Parker agar media were in 99.9, 99.8, 99.9, and 97.8% agreements with A. hydrophila, B. cereus, C. perfringens, and S. aureus at the species level, respectively. SET-RPLA revealed, among the five strains of S. aureus isolates, two produced type A enterotoxin. All five strains of B. cereus isolates produced enterotoxin as revealed with CRET-RPLA.

In order to determine the effects of different degrees of moisture stress on germination of various plant species, hundred seeds of six vegetables and six turfgrasses were germinated in petri dishes on filter papers moistened with water-mannitol solutions of 0, 2, 4, 8, 10, and 12 atmosphere osmotic concentration (degrees of moisture stress). The percentages and rates of germination of all species tested were generally decreased with: increase in moisture stress. Chinese cabbage and cucumber were quite resistant to physiological drought as the germination was not appreciably affected until moisture stress exceeded 10 atmosphere. However, increase in moisture stress decreased germination affecting most seriously tomato, carrot and squash. Weeping lovegrass, Italian ryegrass and perennial ryegrass germinated well at 10 atmosphere but the germination of Kentucky bluegrass, meadow fescue and orchardgrass was greatly reduced by increasing osmotic pressure. The result indicates that it may be possible to select drought resistant species and varieties by their ability to germinate in osmotic solutions.

Korean ginseng(Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer) is very difficult to obtain stable production of qualified ginseng roots because of variable stresses in soil environments. In transformation of ginseng with betain aldehyde dehydrogenase gene, compounds synthesized for controlling osmotic pressure such as proline, glycine, betaine, polyols and sugar were accumulated in cell for salt resistance in transgenic plants. 2 Agrobactgerium conjugants were acquired with bet A and bet B genes for solt resistant plants. A. tumefaciens MP90/pBetA and A. tumefaciens MP90/pBetB were recombined for increasing the tolerance to salt stress. To confirm the transformation of the binary vector, tobacco plant was transformed, and the transformant can grow on media containing high concentration of kanamycin. To identify NPT 11, BetA and BetB genes of the transformants, the band on the agarose was confirmed by PCR and RT-PCR techniques. The transformants of ginseng with bet A and bet B genes were acquired on the phytohormone free basic MS media containing only antibiotics and 1M mannitol used for selection of transgenic plant, but the transfomation efficiency for BetA and BetB was very low.

Performance test was carried out between selective media which are generally used in Staphylococcus aureus isolation from food. Sensitivity, determined according to the appearance of characteristic colonies when 30 different S. aureus strains were tested, resulted as Baird-Parker agar (RPF)> $Petrifilm^{TM}$ Staph Express plate> Baird-Parker agar> Mannitol salt agar. Also, the four different media showed the same selectivity because all tested media did not produce the false positive colonies. Recovery efficiency from the artificially inoculated foodstuff was almost the same for the tested media. Presumptive colonies were collected from the dried fishery product using Mannitol salt agar and collected strains were tested on 4 different selective agar. Almost presumptive strains did not show the false positive colonies except for S. carnosus ssp carnosus. This strain was identified as false positive colonies on Mannitol salt agar, Baird-Parker agar and $Petrifilm^{TM}$ Staph Express plate. But Baird-Parker agar (RPF) did not show the false positive colonies with the same strains. So, it was concluded that the Baird-Parker agar (RPF) has more higher selectivity than other tested media in this experiment.

Aureobasidium pullulans produced three kinds of extracellular polyols e.g. glycerol, mannitol, and sorbitol from either sucrose, glucose, fructose or mannose. Sorbitol was selectively produced when urea was used as a sole nitrogen source, and the amounts of sorbitol produced rapidly reached a plateau after 50 h where its maximum quantity was about 20 g/l with sucrose.

For the model tablets using mannitol and Avicel PH 101 as excipients, the patterns of disintegration and dissolution from the differences of physical properties were investigated. It was found that the patterns in the dissolution and binding forces in the interaction of materials by estimates of solid-solid or liquid surface free energy due to cohesive or adhesive properties of materials, and solid surface free energy in binding forces of tablet should be considered as an important factor in dissolution processes.
