Fructooligosaccharides have been mainly produced by microbial fructosyltransferases (FTase) enzymes. The present work focuses on the optimization of medium composition and cultivation parameters affecting FTase produced by Penicillium aurantiogriseum AUMC 5605 in shake flask cultivation. FTase production was optimized in two steps using DeMeo's fractional factorial design. A 1.46-fold increase in FTase production (105.4 U/mL) was achieved using the optimized culture medium consisting of (g/L): sucrose, 600; yeast extract, 10; $K_2HPO_4$, 5; $MgSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O$, 0.5; $(NH_4)_2SO_4$, 1.0 and KCl, 0.5. The obtained results showed that the maximum FTase enzyme activity was produced at initial cultivation pH values ranging from 6.0-6.5, at agitation speed of 200 rpm and using vegetative fungal cells as inoculum. Moreover, results showed that optimization of medium composition and some cultivation parameters resulted in an increase of about 93.7% in the enzyme activity than the nonoptimized cultivation conditions after 96 h of cultivation. Additionally, maximum production and specific production rates recorded 2340 U/L/h and 102 U/L/h/g cells, respectively.

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.

Solubilization of domestic household waste through Steam explosion with Subsequent ethanol production by the microbial saccharifitation and fermentation of the exploded product was studied. The effects of steam explosion on the changes of the density, viscosity, pH, and amounts of extractive components in artificial household waste were determined. The composition of artificial waste used was similar to leftover waste discharged from a typical home in Japan. Consecutive microbial saccharification and fermentation, and simultaneous microbial saccharification and fermentation of the Steam-exploded product were attempted using Aspergillus awamori, Trichoderma viride, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae; the ethanol yields of each process were compared. The highest ethanol yield was obtained with simultaneous microbial saccharification and fermentation of exploded product at a steam pressure of 2 MPa and a steaming time of 3 min.

Rapamycin, produced by the soil bacterium Streptomyces hygroscopicus, has the ability to suppress the immune system and is used as an antifungal, anti-inflammatory, antitumor, and immunosuppressive agent. In an attempt to increase the productivity of rapamycin, mutagenesis of wild-type Streptomyces hygroscopicus was performed using ultraviolet radiation, and the medium composition was optimized using glycerol (which is one of the cheapest starting substrates) by applying Plackett-Burman design and response surface methodology. Plackett-Burman design was used to analyze 14 medium constituents: M100 (maltodextrin), glycerol, soybean meal, soytone, yeast extract, $(NH_4)_2SO_4$, $\small{L}$-lysine, $KH_2PO_4$, $K_2HPO_4$, NaCl, $FeSO_4{cdot}7H_2O$, $CaCO_3$, 2-(N-morpholino) ethanesulfonic acid, and the initial pH level. Glycerol, soytone, yeast extract, and $CaCO_3$ were analyzed to evaluate their effect on rapamycin production. The individual and interaction effects of the four selected variables were determined by Box-Behnken design, suggesting $CaCO_3$, soytone, and yeast extract have negative effects, but glycerol was a positive factor to determine rapamycin productivity. Medium optimization using statistical design resulted in a 45% ($220.7{\pm}5.7mg/l$) increase in rapamycin production for the Streptomyces hygroscopicus mutant, compared with the unoptimized production medium ($151.9{\pm}22.6mg/l$), and nearly 588% compared with wild-type Streptomyces hygroscopicus ($37.5{\pm}2.8mg/l$). The change in pH showed that $CaCO_3$ is a critical and negative factor for rapamycin production.

The rumen microbial ecosystem produces methane as a result of anaerobic fermentation. Methanogenesis in the rumen is thought to represent a 2-12% loss of energy intake and is estimated to be about 15% of total atmospheric methane emissions. While methanogenesis in the rumen is conducted by methanogens, PCR-based techniques have recently detected many uncultured methanogens which have a broader phylogenetic range than cultured strains isolated from the rumen. Strategies for reduction of methane emissions from the rumen have been proposed. These include 1) control of components in feed, 2) application of feed additives and 3) biological control of rumen fermentation. In any case, although it could be possible that repression of hydrogen-producing reactions leads to abatement of methane production, repression of hydrogen-producing reactions means repression of the activity of rumen fermentation and leads to restrained digestibility of carbohydrates and suppression of microbial growth. Thus, in order to reduce the flow of hydrogen into methane production, hydrogen should be diverted into propionate production via lactate or fumarate.

본 연구에서는 반응표면분석법을 이용하여 전통발효식품인 막걸리로부터 분리한 Bacillus amyloliquefaciens SRCM115785 균주에 대하여 protease 생산량을 증가시키기 위한 배지의 최적 농도를 확립하고자 하였다. 선정한 11개의 배지 성분 중 각 성분이 protease 생산에 미치는 영향에 대한 분석을 위해 Plackett-Burman design (PBD)를 설계하여 통계분석한 결과 glucose, yeast extract, beef extract를 protease 생산 향상을 위한 요인으로 최종 선별하였다. 선별된 3개의 성분에 대해 protease 생산을 위한 각 성분별 최적 농도를 결정하기 위해 central composite design (CCD)분석을 설계하여 protease 최대 생산을 위한 각 배지조성별 농도는 glucose 6.75 g/l, yeast extract 12.42 g/l, beef extract 17.48 g/l로 예측되었다. ANOVA 분석을 통해 실험모델의 적합성을 증명하였고, 설계한 최적배지에서 반복실험을 진행하여 protease 생산량을 측정한 결과 예측값과 매우 유사한 값을 나타냄을 확인하였다. 최종적으로 일반 배지에 비해 137% 환이 증가하였으며, 추가로 정량 분석 결과 기존 25.72 U/ml 대비 59.28 U/ml로 230.47% 증가함을 확인하였다. 본 연구를 통해 protease 생산량 증가를 위한 배지 성분의 최적화를 확립하였고, 이를 바탕으로 산업용 효소로서 protease의 효율적인 활용방안에 대한 기초자료로서 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
