Soil samples were collected from new-developed wetland soil ecosystem of Tamarix chinesis plantation in Chinese Yellow River Delta in different months of 2003. Soil characteristics, temporal change and spatial distribution of microbial community composition and their relationship with nitrogen turnover and circling were investigated in order to analyze and characterize the role of microbial diversity and functioning in the specific soil ecosystem. The result showed that the total population of microbial community in the studied soil was considerably low, compared with common natural ecosystem. The amount of microorganism followed as the order: bacteria> actinomycetes>fungi. Amount of actinomycetes were higher by far than that of fungi. Microbial population remarkably varied in different months. Microbial population of three species in top horizon was corrected to that in deep horizon. Obvious rhizosphere effect was observed and microbial population was significantly higher in rhizosphere than other soils due to vegetation growth, root exudation, and cumulative dead fine roots. Our results demonstrate that microbial diversity is low, while is dominated by specific community in the wetland ecosystem of Tamarix chinesi.

The aging treatment was applied to Rehmannia glutinosa rhizome (RGR) to improve the digestibility by the enzymatic hydrolysis of undigestible sugars. However, RGR spoils easily during the aging treatment. Thus, the purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of ethanol addition as preservatives on sugars and microbial growth of aged RGR. The RGR was treated with the addition of ethanol (0~10%) at 55℃ for eight days. Reducing, free sugars, and total bacterial counts of RGR with ethanol concentrations were analyzed during the aging periods. The aged RGR with 0-2% ethanol appeared spoiled in appearance, and total bacterial counts of these samples increased from 1.1×10⁵ to 2.2×10⁷ CFU and then decreased again. When treated with 4~10% ethanol, the total bacterial counts of aged RGR decreased by more than 99.9% at eight days. In all samples, reducing and digestible sugars increased, and stachyose decreased by the aging treatment. Sucrose content was highest in the 6% ethanol sample (18.2% at six days). These results indicate that the ethanol addition can be applied to the aging treatment of the RGR for improving qualities (sweetness, digestibility, and microbial growth), and can be considered for the stable production of high quality aged RGR.

In order to determine the optimal storage conditions of Capsosiphon fulvescens (maesaengi), 2 types of wash solutions (distilled water and seawater) and storage temperatures (-20 and $-80^{\circ}C$) were evaluated for the effectiveness of microbial growth inhibition and the changes of texture, color, and proximate composition. Thawed samples that had been washed with seawater and stored at $-20^{\circ}C$ for 50 days showed a 1.1-fold increase in hardness compared to the initial hardness of the sample ($1.9{\times}10^5\;dyne/cm^2$). There was no change in moisture, ash, or crude lipid during storage at -20 and $-80^{\circ}C$ for 60 days, while there was a $1{\pm}0.2%$ decrease in crude protein content for the control during storage at both -20 and $-80^{\circ}C$ for 60 days. In conclusion, the recommended optimal storage conditions for retaining the quality of C. fulvescens are: temperatures at or below $-20^{\circ}C$ and washings with either distilled water or seawater for inhibiting microbial growth, temperatures at or below $-20^{\circ}C$ and a washing with seawater to prevent reductions in hardness, and a temperature of $-80^{\circ}C$ and washings with either distilled water or seawater to protect against color changes.

Electron beam irradiation was applied to examine the microbial growth and qualities of vacuum-packaged Astragalus membranaceus, a Korean medicinal herb. Samples were irradiated at dose of 2, 4, 8, 12, and 16 kGy, respectively. Microbiological data on A. membranaceus showed that populations of total bacteria, yeast and mold, total coliforms were significantly reduced with increase of irradiation dose. Populations of microorganisms in A. membranaceus were decreased by 2-3 log cycles at 8 kGy irradiation. Color measurements showed that electron beam treatment caused negligible changes in Hunter color L, a, and b values of A. membranaceus. Sensory evaluations showed that there were no significant changes among the samples. These results suggest that electron beam irradiated A. membranaceus have better microbial safety and qualities, compared with the non-irradiated control.

Rhodococcus sp. strain T104 is able to utilize both limonene and biphenyl as growth substrates. Fur-thermore, T104 possesses separate pathways for the degradation of limonene and biphenyl. Previously, we found that a gene(s) involved in limonene degradation was also related to indigo-producing ability. To further corroborate this observation, we have cloned and sequenced a 8,842-bp genomic DNA region with four open reading frames, including one for indole oxygenase, which converts indole to indigo (a blue pigment). The reverse transcription PCR data demonstrated that the identified indole oxygenase gene is specifically induced by limonene, thereby implicating this gene in the degradation of limonene by T104.

Plant microbiota has influenced plant growth and physiology significantly. Plant and plant-associated microbes have flexible interactions that respond to changes in environmental conditions. These interactions can be adjusted to suit the requirements of the microbial community or the host physiology. In addition, it can be modified to suit microbiota structure or fixed by the host condition. However, no technology is realized yet to control mechanically manipulated plant microbiota structure. Here, we review step-by-step plant-associated microbial partnership from plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria to the microbiota structural modulation. Glutamic acid enriched the population of Streptomyces, a specific taxon in anthosphere microbiota community. Additionally, the population density of the microbes in the rhizosphere was also a positive response to glutamic acid treatment. Although many types of research are conducted on the structural revealing of plant microbiota, these concepts need to be further understood as to how the plant microbiota clusters are controlled or modulated at the community level. This review suggests that the intrinsic level of glutamic acid in planta is associated with the microbiota composition that the external supply of the biostimulant can modulate.

The cooling rate of a bioreactor was measured to estimate the heat generation by microbial cultivation production. The estimated heat production was calculated from the varying temperature of cooling water. It was used for monitoring growth and specific metabolic events for microbial cultivations. Metabolic heat measured was also adopted for a control parameter for fed-batch cultivation.

Vascular endothelial cells (EGs) are usually difficult to culture to culture in a large scale because of their complicated requirements for cell growth. As the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a key growth factor in the EC culture, we transfected human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) using a plasmid containing VEGF gene and let them grow in a culture medium eliminated an important supplement, endothelail cell growth supplement(ECGS). The expression of VEGF by HUVEC tansfected with Vegf GENE was not enough to stimulate the growth of HUVEC, only 40% of maximum cell density obtainable in the presence of ECGS. However, when the culture medium was supplied with 2.5 ng/ml of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), a synergistic effect effect of VEGE and bFGF was observed. In this case, the final cell density was recovered was recovered up to about 78% of maxium value.

이 연구에서는 합성가스를 기질로 사용하는 Clostridium autoethanogenum 배양 공정에서 에탄올 생산성 향상을 위하여 배지 성분의 농도가 균주 성장과 에탄올 생산에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. C. autoethanogenum 배양에 사용되는 기본 배지 구성 성분 중 비타민 종류인 D-Ca-pantothenate, vitamin B₁₂와 황 공급원인 sodium sulfide를 조사 대상 성분으로 선정하여 이 성분들의 농도를 달리하였을 때 균주 성장과 에탄올 생산에 미치는 영향을 확인하였다. D-Ca-pantothenate는 0.5, 5, 50, 500 mg/L 농도를 시험하였으며 0.5 mg/L에서 에탄올 생산량이 약간 증가하는 경향을 보였지만 시험한 농도 범위에서 균주의 성장이나 에탄올 생산에 대한 주목할 만한 영향은 관찰되지 않았다. Vitamin B₁₂는 0.1, 1.0, 10, 100 mg/L의 농도범위에서 균주 성장과 에탄올 생산에 미치는 영향을 관찰하였으며, 0.1 mg/L 농도에서 에탄올 생산농도가 일반적 기본배지 농도인 10 mg/L에서보다 245% 증가되는 것을 확인하였다. Sodium sulfide는 0.5, 5, 10 g/L 농도범위에서 균주 성장과 에탄올 생산에 미치는 영향을 분석하였으며, 기본배지의 사용농도인 0.5 g/L을 초과하여 과잉 공급하였을 때, 균주 성장 저해 현상이 관찰되었다. 결과적으로 연구에 사용된 세 가지 배지 성분 중, D-Ca-pantothenate와 sodium sulfide는 배지 내 성분 농도에 따른 에탄올 생산농도 향상을 이루지 못하였으나, vitamin B₁₂는 기본 배지 내 일반적인 농도의 1/100을 사용함으로써 에탄올 생산농도 향상을 이룰 수 있었다.
