In orde to investigate free sugar, sugar alcohol, amino acid and mineral contents of edible mushrooms, hentinus edodes, Auricula-Jude and Coriolus Versicolor were analyzed. 1. In each of the three mushrooms, glucose, fructose, xylose, trehalose, mannose and mannitol were identified and in the hentinus edodes and Auricula-jude, the major free sugar was trehalose, respectively and increasing sequence in amount of free sugars were mannitol, mannose, fructose, glucose, on the other hand that lowest amount was Xylose. The relatively richest were glucose, fructose, trehalose, mannose, on the other hand lower amount of sample, Coriolus Versicolor were mannitol and Xylose. 2. In each of the three samples, essential amino acids were high amounts, especially good taste component, glutamic acid was higher. 3. The mineral p Contents$(925\~115mg)$ were highest and Mg was higher amount, in hentinus edodes and Auricula-jude, K, Na, Ca, Cu, Zn, etc were identified, In Coriolus versicolor, K content was highest, on the other hand, Sequence of mineral amount was Ca, Fe and Na.

This study was undertaken to establish optimum medium compositions for cost-effective mannitol production by Leuconostoc mesenteroides SRCM201425 isolated from kimchi. L. mesenteroides SRCM21425 from kimchi was selected for efficient mannitol production based on fructose analysis and identified by its 16S rRNA gene sequence, as well as by carbohydrate fermentation pattern analysis. To enhance mannitol production by L. mesenteroides SRCM201425, the effects of carbon, nitrogen, and mineral sources on mannitol production were first determined using Plackett-Burman design (PBD). The effects of 11 variables on mannitol production were investigated of which three variables, fructose, sucrose, and peptone, were selected. In the second step, each concentration of fructose, sucrose, and peptone was optimized using a central composite design (CCD) and response surface analysis. The predicted concentrations of fructose, sucrose, and peptone were 38.68 g/l, 30 g/l, and 39.67 g/l, respectively. The mathematical response model was reliable, with a coefficient of determination of $R^2=0.9185$. Mannitol production increased 20-fold as compared with the MRS medium, corresponding to a mannitol yield 97.46% when compared to MRS supplemented with 100 g/l of fructose in flask system. Furthermore, the production in the optimized medium was cost-effective. The findings of this study can be expected to be useful in biological production for catalytic hydrogenation causing byproduct and additional production costs.

Leuconostoc mesenteroides B-742 fermentations with maltose as an acceptor were tested for glucooligosaccharides and mannitol co-production. Leuconostoc oligosaccharides were produced that were oligomers with a size range of DP 2 to 7 and were primarily DP 3, 4, 5, and 6, containing mainly ${\alpha}-1,4$ and ${\alpha}-1,6$ linkages. Maltose was linked to the reducing end of the isomaltosyl residues. The $Ca^{2+}$ form of cation-exchange column could separate glucooligosaccharides from byproducts.

Acetic acid bacteria (AAB) were isolated from vinegar fermented through traditional methods in Namhae county, Gyeongnam, the Republic of Korea. The isolated strains were Gram negative, non-motile, and short-rods. Three selected strains were identified as either Acetobacter pasteurianus or Acetobacter aceti by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. A. pasteurianus NH2 and A. pasteurianus NH6 utilized ethanol, glycerol, D-fructose, D-glucose, D-mannitol, D-sorbitol, L-glutamic acid and Na-acetate. A. aceti NH12 utilized ethanol, n-propanol, glycerol, D-mannitol and Na-acetate. These strains grew best at 30℃ and an initial pH of 3.4. They were tolerant against acetic acid at up to 3% of initial concentration (v/v). The optimum conditions for acetic acid production were 30℃ and pH 3.4, with an initial ethanol concentration of 5%, resulting in an acetic acid concentration of 7.3−7.7%.

This experiment was carried out to establish a year-round production system of pathogen-free stock through micropropagation in Fritillaria thunbergii as medicinal bulbous plant. The effect of different types of culture method and plant growth regulators, activated charcoal and mannitol on bulblet formation and subsequent growth were investigated. The MS solid medium containing 1. 0 mg/L kinetin and 0. 3 mg/L NAA was effective on bulblet formation and propagation rate compared to liquid and suspension culture. Addition of activated charcoal at 0. 01% to 0. 1% in the medium promoted bulbing of cultured bulblets and shoot formation. Addition of 1% to 2% mainnitol in MS medium was effective on the formation of bulblet and subsequent growth of bulblets compared to control. In addition of inhibitors, $10{\sim}100\;mg/L$ B-9 and Chloromequat had effective to stimulate bulblet growth but their effects were not so much as mannitol treatment. ABA treatment had detrimental effect on survival rate of explant and bulblet formation.

This study was, firstly, to investigate water holding capacity in terms of variation of moisture sorption isotherms of seasoned squid treated with sodium lactate, glycerol, propylene glycol, sorbitol, mannitol, sodium benzoate, potassium sorbate and calcium propionate, and secondly, the effect of humectant treatments on storage stability was studied. The criteria for storage stability was based on three quality factors, namely, lipid oxiations, color development by non-enzymatic browning reactions and lipid oxidation, and mold growth. The effect of humectants on equilibrium moisture content was in the following increasing order; mannitol < sorbitol < sodium lactate < propylene glycol < glycerol. The experimental data indicated that sodium lactate has, in practice, potentially positive effect on processing of seasoned squid. During the storage period of 60 days, TBA values increased in all samples tested as humectants concentrations increased up to 10%. However, in the range of 1-7% sodium lactate treatment, the degree of lipid oxidation, browning reactions and mild growth were not high enough to affect the quality of seasoned squid, when compared with conventionally manufactured ones.

The purpose of this work was to investigate the characteristics of a biosurfactant-producing bacterium isolated from crude-oil contaminated soils. During the incubation of strain HK-3 with 1% crude-oil, bacterial growth pattern, the amount of biosurfactant production, and pH changes were monitored. In order to examine the effect of supplemented carbons on the production of biosurfactant, cultivation of HK-3 cells in BH media with different carbons (e.g. glucose, dextrose, mannitol, citrate, or acetate) revealed that the production of biosurfactant reached the maximal level at the 72 h incubation with mannitol, which the area of clear zone was measured to approximately 7.64 $cm^2$. Identification test using the BIOLOG system, morphology study based on scanning electron microscopy and the 16S rRNA sequence-based phylogenetic analysis assigned strain HK-3 to a Pseudoalteromonas species, designated as Pseudoalteromonas sp. HK-3 which was registered in GenBank as [FJ477041].

High yields of protoplasts were obtained following enzymatic digestion of the vagetative thalli of marine green alga Monostroma nitidum. The enzyme mixtures containing $4\%$ Cellulase R-10+$3\%$ Macerozyme R-10+$3\%$ Abalone acetone power produced $4.41\times10^6$ protoplasts per 300 mg of fresh tissue. The highest yield of protoplasts was obtained by 270 minutes treatment of the thalli in enzyme solution. Freshly isolated protoplasts were spherical in shape and ranged between $13\~33\mu$m in diameter. The high efficiency of differentiation were obtained by incubating freshly isolated protoplasts in 0.4 M mannitol f/2 medium for 7 days and then transferring to 0.2 M mannitol f/2 medium. Protoplasts began to form new cell walls three days after initial culture and began to germinate after 10 days, and then form a leafy thallus after further culture in f/2 medium. The addition of antibiotics in media inhibited the differentiation of protoplasts in culture.
