Lactic acid is a green chemical that can be used as a raw material for biodegradable polymer. To produce lactic acid through microbial fermentation, we previously screened a novel lactic acid bacterium. In this work, we optimized lactic acid fermentation using a newly isolated and homofermentative lactic acid bacterium. The optimum medium components were found to be glucose, yeast extract, $(NH_4)_{2}HPO_4,\;and\;MnSO_4$. The optimum pH and temperature for a batch culture of Lactobacillus sp. RKY2 was found to be 6.0 and $36^{\circ}C$, respectively. Under the optimized culture conditions, the maximum lactic acid concentration (153.9 g/L) was obtained from 200 g/L of glucose and 15 g/L of yeast extract, and maximum lactic acid productivity ($6.21\;gL^{-1}h^{-1}$) was obtained from 100 g/L of glucose and 20 g/L of yeast extract. In all cases, the lactic acid yields were found to be above 0.91 g/g. This article provides the optimized conditions for a batch culture of Lactobacillus sp. RKY2, which resulted in highest productivity of lactic acid.

A thermophilic bacterium (strain DG0303) producing a thermostable $\alpha$-glucosidase was isolated from manure and identified as Bacillus sp. Strain DG0303 produced high level of $\alpha$-glucosidase compared with other thermophilic Bacillus strains. The cellular protein patterns were also compared with other Bacillus strains by sodium dodecyl sulfatepolyacrylamide gel electrophoresis(SDS-PAGE). On the basis of 16S rDNA analysis the Bacillus sp. DG0303 was found to be a member of Bacillus rDNA group 5. The optimum temperature for growth was 65$\circ$C and no growth was obtained at 40$\circ$C or 75$\circ$C. The optimum pH for growth was 5.5 to 8.5. $\alpha$-glucosidase activity was produced during growth and most activity was detected in the culture supernatant. The $\alpha$-glucosidase production was constitutive in the absence of carbohydrates. High level of enzyme activity was detected when the culture was grown on medium containing starch. Addition of glucose resulted in the repression of the $\alpha$-glucosidase production. The optimum pH and tempoerature for enzyme activity were pH 5.0 and 65$\circ$C, respectively. When analyzed by zymogram, the culture supernatant showed a single $\alpha$-glucosidase band with a molecular weight of approximately 60,000.

As a basic study for the application of the spore-tearing lactic acid bacteria to foods, the effects of the sporulating conditions on the growth and sporogenesis were studied were observed. The results obtained are as follow. 1. All carbohydrates added to sporulation media except dextrin decreased the sporulation rate and the thermal resistance of spores. Dextrin stimulated the growth, however, there in no effect on the thermal resistance. 2. As nitrogen source, the protein hydrolysates such as peptone, casamino acid were effective to obtain were spores of the increased thermal resistance. 3. Ca$\^$＋＋/, Mn$\^$＋＋/ of the metal ions added to casamino acid containing medium validly increased the total growth, sporulation rate and thermal resistance. Its optimum concentration was 40 ppm each. 4. Biotin of vitamines had an effect on the total growth, sporulation and thermal resistance of spores. Its optimum concentration was 30${\gamma}$/ml. 5. The resistant spores required the adequate maturation period, more than 36 hours, sufficient aeration. and optimum temperature, 37∼45$^{\circ}C$.

The optimum design of back pressure chamber is one of the most important factors in designing scroll compressors because it has a great influence on the efficiency and other design parameters. The design process can be divided into 2 parts. One is obtaining the optimum pressure of the chamber and keeping it in constant value. The other is finding out the minimum inflow rate of medium with which back pressure chamber is filled. In this study we are focused on the first step. At first we added a simple structure that can change back pressure without reassembling compressor. It makes possible to obtaining optimum back pressure. Then we designed an equipment that the back pressure control valve assembly could be independently tested with. Spring was redesigned to decrease stiffness variation. Also sealing mechanism of back pressure control valve was improved to more effective way. As a result, it was verified that in a real mode test back pressure variation could be retained in 2.3% with discharge pressure and operating frequency varied. In addition the integrated structure of back pressure control valve is expected to contribute to effective manufacturing process.

A system heat pump provides the benefits of comfort, energy conservation and easy maintenance. Recently, the system heat pump has been employed in small and medium-sized buildings. However, the performance data and control algorithm for system heat pump are limited in literature due to complicated system parameters and operating conditions. In the present study, the performance of a system heat pump with two indoor unit is measured by varying indoor loads, EEV opening, and compressor speed. In addition, the integral optimum regulator which includes MIMO control algorithm is proposed. The capacity modulation and optimum capacity for each indoor unit can be adjusted by utilizing the EEVs opening and compressor speed. The proposed scheme shows appropriate control performance at test conditions.

전분을 발효할 수 있는 새로울 효모균수의 개발을 목적으로 PEG를 fusogen으로 사용하여 이속 효모간 원형질체 융합을 시도하였다. 원형질체 융합에 사용한 친균주의 genetic marker로는 상보적 영양요구성을 이용하였고 각각의 영양요구성이 상호보완되어 최소배지상에 자라는 colony를 융합체로하였다. S. cerevisiae와 C. tropicalis의 이속간 원형질체의 융합빈도는 $10^{-4}$에서 $10^{-6}$ 정도였으며, 원형질체 융합에 있어서 PEG 4,000. 30%가 가장 좋은 효과를 나타내었다. 최적 pH는 8.0이었으며, PEG의 처리효과는 온도가 상승함에 따라 증가하여 35$^{\circ}C$에서 최적을 나타내었고 또한 Ca이온의 첨가에 의해서도 증가하였는데 Ca 이온의 촉진효과는 1mM과 100mM 농도 사이에서 최고를 나타내었다.

While the wheel flat is an asymmetrical phenomenon in the railway, majority of researches have used two-dimensional models in the investigation of the effect of wheel flat on the wheel rail forces. This is due to the considerably low computational costs of two dimensional (2D) models although their reliability is questionable. This leaves us with the question of "what is the optimum modeling technique?". It is addressed in this research. For this purpose, two and three dimensional numerical models of railway vehicle/track interaction were developed. The three dimensional (3D) model was validated by comparisons of its results with those obtained from a comprehensive field tests carried out in this research and then, the results obtained from the 2D and 3D models were compared. The results obtained indicate that there are considerable differences between wheel/rail forces obtained from the 2D and 3D models in the conditions of medium to large wheel-flats. On the other hand, it was shown that the results of the 2D models are reliable for particular ranges of vehicle speed, railway track stiffness and wheel-fats lengths and depths. The results were used to draw a diagram, which presents the optimum modeling technique, compromising between the costs and accuracy of the obtained results.

본 연구에서는 매생물발효에 의한 L-phenylalanine생산에 미치는 배지조성의 영향을 살펴보았다. 탄소원의 선택은 L-phenylalanine생산에 큰 영향을 미침을 알았다. 자당, 포도당, 과당 혹은 그 혼합물을 탄소원으로 사용할때에 비해 당밀을 사용하는 것이 L-phenylalapine악 생산성을 크게 향상시켜 주었다. 최소배시의 사용시 미량의 염류들이 요구됨을 확인하였으나, 과량으로 첨가하면 더이상의 효고는 없었다. 또한 세포의 증식과 아미노산의 생산에 있어 적정량의 biotin과 thiamine이 필요함도 알I 수 있었다. Corynehacterium 균주외에 L.phenylalanine생산주로 알려진 조절기작을 상실한 영양요구성 변이주인 Brev-ihacterium lactofermenticum과 Arthrohacter citreus의 생산능을 조사해본 결과, Corynehacterium에 비해 생산성이 낮았으며 역시 영양요구 성질을 잃어버린 것으로 확인되었다.

Lovastatin produced by Aspergillus terreus via polyketide pathway is a secondary metabolite with high anti-hypercholesterolemic activity. In this paper we are going to present effective strain development strategies for lovastatin production by comparing the productivity of the mutants obtained through traditional rational screening process and protoplast fusion method. Mutants resistant against various antibiotics and/or antimetabolites showed significantly higher lovastatin productivity than the corresponding mother strains, demonstrating that rational screening method was very efficient in selecting high yielding producers. Recombinant fusants obtained using protoplast fusion between high producers were observed to have very different morphology and physiology as represented by the production and secretion of lovastatin, as well as cell growth pattern. In parallel with the strain development, optimization process for the production medium was carried out in order to find optimal concentrations of the medium components using such a powerful statistical method as response surface method (RSM). It was concluded that not only the optimum production medium but also good morphological characteristics of the high-yielding producers led to higher lovastatin production.
