To develop a starter culture system for the fermentation of mukeunji, we introduced lactic acid bacteria and yeast isolated from mukeunji into kimchi fermentation as a single or a mixed culture. On evaluating mukeunji flavor, we found that the mixed starter kimchi prepared with two strains, ML17 and MY7, gave the best sensory score. These strains were identified as Lactobacillus (Lb.) curvatus ML17 and Saccharomyces (S.) servazzii MY7 by molecular identification method. The fermentative characteristics of starter kimchi were investigated by measuring changes in the physicochemical and microfloral characteristics during the fermentation. The decrease in pH and increase in acidity in the starter kimchi were faster compared to respective values of control kimchi. There was a gradual decrease in hardness of starter kimchi, which was still slow compared to hardness decrease in control kimchi. Microbial analysis of starter kimchi revealed that Lb. curvatus ML17 and S. servazzii MY7 were the dominant organisms during the entire fermentation period. The lactic acid and citric acid contents of starter kimchi were higher than those of the control kimchi after 90 days of fermentation. By sensory evaluation, the starter kimchi scored higher in appearance, mukeunji flavor, sourness, carbonated flavor, savory taste, texture, and overall acceptability, but lower in off-flavor than the control kimchi.

This experiment was carried out to examine the fermentation properties of yogurt prepared with bovine milk and soybean milk at the mixed ratios of 3:1, 2:1, 1:1, 1:2 and 1:3. The effect of bovine milk and soybean milk on promoting the fermentation was higher un pH was $3.75\~4.16$ when Lactobacillus salivarius ssp. salivarius CNU27, lactic culture 1(Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus(LB12)), Streptococcus salivarius ssp. thermophilus (ST36) and Lactobacillus acidophilus KCTC3150 were used. Titratable acidity was the highest when lactic culture 1[Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus(LB12), Streptococcus salivarius ssp. thermophilus(ST36)] was mea and the mixed ratio of bovine milk and soybean milk was 2:1. The average viable counts of lactic acid bacteria was the highest level of $2.17\times10^9$ cfu/ml when Lactobacillus salivarius ssp. salivarius CNU27 was used, and the mixed ratio of bovine milk and soybean milk was 1:3. the highest lactic acid production was 412.52mM when lactic culture 1[Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus (LB12), Streptococcus salivarius ssp. thermophilus (ST36)] was used, and the mixed ratio of bovine milk and soybean milk was 1:1. The production of acetic acid was the highest and the concentration was 394.01mM when lactic culture 2(Bifidobacterium longum, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Streptococcus salivarius ssp. thermophilus) was used and the mixed ratio of bovine milk and soy bean milk was 3:1. Tn the carbohydrate hydrolysis, stachyose was hydrolyzed $53.92\%$ as compared with the control when Lactobacillus salivarius subsp salivarius CNU27 was used, and the mixed ratio of bovine milk and soy bean milk was 1:3. The highest viscosity of yogurt was $1,300\~1,660$ cP when the mixed ratio of bovine milk and soybean milk was 1:3. The overall acceptability, $4.17\pm0.69$, was the highest when Lactobacillus acidophilus KCTC3150 was used and when the mixed ratio of bovine milk and soybean milk was 2:1.

Lactobacillus pentosus K1-23 was selected from among 25 lactic acid bacterial strains owing to its high inhibitory activity against several pathogenic bacteria, including Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhimurium, S. gallinarum, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Clostridium perfringens, and Listeria monocytogenes. Additionally, among 13 strains of Aureobasidium spp., A. pullulans NRRL 58012 was shown to produce the highest amount of ${\beta}$-glucan ($15.45{\pm}0.07%$) and was selected. Next, the optimal conditions for a solid-phase mixed culture with these two different microorganisms (one bacterium and one yeast) were determined. The optimal inoculum sizes for L. pentosus and A. pullulans were 1% and 5%, respectively. The appropriate inoculation time for L. pentosus K1-23 was 3 days after the inoculation of A. pullulans to initiate fermentation. The addition of 0.5% corn steep powder and 0.1% $FeSO_4$ to the basal medium resulted in the increased production of lactic acid bacterial cells and ${\beta}$-glucan. The following optimal conditions for solid-phase mixed culture were also statistically determined by using the response surface method: $37.84^{\circ}C$, pH 5.25, moisture content of 60.82%, and culture time of 6.08 days for L. pentosus; and $24.11^{\circ}C$, pH 5.65, moisture content of 60.08%, and culture time of 5.71 days for A. pullulans. Using the predicted optimal conditions, the experimental production values of L. pentosus cells and ${\beta}$-glucan were $3.15{\pm}0.10{\times}10^8CFU/g$ and $13.41{\pm}0.04%$, respectively. This mixed culture may function as a highly efficient antibiotic substitute based on the combined action of its anti-pathogenic bacterial and immune-enhancing activities.

In this study, Gluconacetobacter sp. gel_SEA623-2 isolated from citrus that produces bacterial cellulose was used to examine the effect of initial concentration of acetic acid and mixed culture inoculated with Lactobacillus plantarum KCCM 80077 on productivity of bacterial cellulose. In mixed culture added with 0.5% acetic acid, the viable cell count increased from $2.4{\times}10^6CFU/ml$ to $1.1{\times}10^7CFU/ml$ after 14 days of culture, and total acidity was about 0.3% higher than single culture added with 0.5% acetic acid, which implies that additional lactic acid was produced by L. plantarum KCCM 80077. In single culture, although bacterial cellulose productivity was higher when the initial concentrations of acetic acid were 0.0% and 0.5%, than when it was 1.0%, there was no significant difference. However, in mixed culture, adding 0.5% acetic acid resulted in dry weight of $37.83{\pm}6.81g/L$ and thickness of $10.33{\pm}0.58mm$, showing a significant difference from that of single culture added with 1% acetic acid, $28.40{\pm}1.23g/L$ and $7.50{\pm}0.50mm$ (P<0.05).

The growth of a mixed yeast culture consisting of Canda tropicalis var. KIST 76 and Tricosporon cutaneum KIST 76-H was compared with that of pure cultures under pilot plant conditions. The mixed culture was judged stable based on the nearly constant ratio of the two organisms at the completion of fermentation. We obtained higher cell yields, protein content and productivity in the mixed culture on n-paraffin than the pure culture of C. tropicalis var. KIST 76. T. cutaneum KIST 76-H did not grow on n-paraffin medium. With the batch cultivation of mixed organisms on n-paraffin, the specific growth rates during the exponential growth phase were 0.24-0.33 $hr^{-1};$ cell yields were 96-106% and productivities were 2.9-3.6g/l. hr. The cells obtained contained 55-58% crude protein and 5.5-6.3% lipid. The critical value of dissolved oxygen concentration Ccrit. and saturation constant, km, are approximately 1.5 ppm and 0.228 ppm respectively. Also we established the optimal conditions for the mixed culture in batch fermentation.

The objective of this study was to determine the quality characteristics of cabbage juice fermented by lactic acid bacteria from Kimchi (Leuconostoc mesenteroides, Lactobacillus sakei SL1103, Lactobacillus plantarum LS5, and mixed starter). Cabbage juice was inoculated with lactic acid bacteria and fermented at 30 for 72 hrs. Changes in lactic acid bacteria number, pH, titratable acidity, Brix, and color during fermentation were analyzed. After fermentation for 24 hrs, cabbage juice fermented by mixed starter showed the highest number of lactic acid bacteria (9.45 log CFU/mL). The pH of all cabbage juice also decreased to 3.88~4.19 sharply, while cabbage juice fermented by Lac. sakei SL1103 showed the highest Brix ($8.38^{\circ}Bx$). Cabbage juice fermented by mixed starter showed the highest L value (56.83). In the sensory evaluation, cabbage juice fermented by a mixed starter (Leu. mesenteroides, Lac. sakei SL1103, and Lac. plantarum LS5) showed the highest preferences in taste, flavor, and overall acceptability. Therefore, cabbage juice fermented by mixed starter (Leu. mesenteroides, Lac. sakei SL1103 and Lac. plantarum LS5) has the highest potential for the development of fermented cabbage juice as an excellent bioactive functional food.

The influence of agitation speed on the yeast growth was investigated in the production of probiotic feed from pulverized liquified food wastes by aerobic fermentation. A yeast Kluyvermyces marxianus was selected through a preliminary screening. The yeast was cultured by 2liter jar fermenter. in 10% solid(w/v) substrate of liquified food waste at $35^{\circ}C$ with each different agitation speed of 500, 900 and 1200 rpm. For the acceleration of enzyme excretion mixed culture with Aspergillus oryzae was also attempted and the results were compared to those of single culture. As results the viable cell number was increased by increasing agitation speed. But it showed highest value in 900rpm and then decreased in 1200rpm. The mixed culture increased amylase activity and growth rate, but did not seem to enhance the highest viable cell count in the final fermentation stage.

This experiment was carried out to exame the effects of sweeteners, sucrose(2.0~10.0%), aspartame(0.01~0.05%) and oligosaccharide(3.6~11.6%) on the fermentation of yoghurts by single or mixed culture (Lact. bulgaricus and Str. thermophilus). The acidity, pH and number of lactic acid bacteria in yoghurts added different level of sweeteners were examined by the fermentation time. The results were summarized as follows; 1. The acidity increased and the pH decreased more rapidly by 4.0% sucrose and 5.6% oligosaccharide. By the addition of 8.0% sucrose and 9.6% oligosaccharide the acidity and pH of yoghurts were changed less significantly. 2. The number of Lact. bulgaricus and Str. thermophilus increased more rapidly by 4.0% sucrose and 5.6% oligosaccharide and increased slowly above those levels. 3. Aspartame as a sweeteners did not affect on the acidity, pH and number of lactic acid bacteria in yoghurts. 4. The number of lactic acid bacteria, acidity and pH in yoghurts added sucrose and oligosaccharide were affected more by single culture than by mixed culture.

The oligosaccharide metabolism in soymilk was investigated by mixed culture with Lactobacillus acidophilus and Saccharomyces uvarum. When Saccharomyces uvarum was cultured in soywhey, change of oligosaccharide could be shown apparently. However, Lactobacillus acidophilus could not utilize oligosaccharide in soywhey for growth and lactic acid production. During the fermentation of mixed culture with Lactobacillus acidophilus and Saccharomyces uvarum, Saccaharomyces uvarum was supposed to convert oligosaccharide to monosaccharide first and then Lactobacillus acidophilus to convert these produced monosaccharide to lactic acid.

The hydrolyzates of lignocellulosic biomass contain a mixture of glucose, xylose and cellobiose. The yeast which can produce ethanol efficiently from xylose and cellobiose was selected and its growth and ethanol formation behavior on each sugar and their mixture were investigated. Ethanol yields during batch culture of Pichia stipitis CBS 5776 were 0.4. 0.36 and 0.23 g/g substrate on glucose, xylose and cellobiose, respectively. Mixed sugar fermentation data indicate that glucose causes catabolite regulation on xylose and cellobiose utilization. However, xylose and cellobiose were utilized simultaneously. Ethanol yields on mixtures of sugars were generally additive for each of the substrates.
