Strains degrading and decolorizing reactive dyes, Procion blue HEGN and Procion red HE7B were isolated from water system, are named as RBK1 and RRK, the growth characteristics of which were investigated. Decolorization efficiencies after 42 hrs in batch culture were 95% and 77%, respectively. and the optimal culture condition of temperature and pH were $30^{\circ}C$, 7.0. Decolorization efficiencies in condition of aerobic shaking culture by strains RBK1 and RRK conspicuously increased, and culture by strain RBK1 was found as 95% after 42 hrs, while standing culture was 64%, Optimum nitrogen source was peptone, and It was found that decolorization efficiencies by strains RBK1 and RRK increased up to 4,000mg/l of peptone concentration as nitrogen source, but peptone concentration did' nt influence the decolorization efficiency in above 4,000mg/l. When the concentration of dyes were more than 800 mg/l and 400 mg/l respectively, the strains RBK1 and RRK, which degrade Procion bule HEGN and Procion red HE7B, showed a sharply decreased decolorization efficiencies; then the specific growth rate were $0.25hr^{-1}$ and $0.09hr^{-1}$.

This research improved the growth potential of Bifidobacterium animalis subsp lactis strain JNU306, a commercial medium that is appropriate for large-scale production, in yeast extract, soy peptone, glucose, L-cysteine, and ferrous sulfate. Response surface methodology (RSM) was used to optimize the components of this medium, using a central composite design and subsequent analyses. A second-order polynomial regression model, which was fitted to the data at first, significantly lacked fitness. Thus, through further analyses, the model with linear and quadratic terms plus two-way, three-way, and four-way interactions was selected as the final model. Through this model, the optimized medium composition was found as 2.8791% yeast extract, 2.8030% peptone soy, 0.6196% glucose, 0.2823% L-cysteine, and 0.0055% ferrous sulfate, w/v. This optimized medium ensured that the maximum biomass was no lower than the biomass from the commonly used blood-liver (BL) medium. The application of RSM improved the biomass production of this strain in a more cost-effective way by creating an optimum medium. This result shows that B. animalis subsp lactis JNU306 may be used as a commercial starter culture in manufacturing probiotics, including dairy products.

Cultural and nutritional conditions for Lyophyllum decastes and its chemical composition in a synthetic medium were investigated. The optimal temperature and pH for the production of mycelium were $25^{\circ}C$ and pH 7.5. The mycelium yield was the highest on 15th day. Among the carbon sources, glucose and CMC were the best for the production of mycelium and their optimal concentrations were 3 and 6%, respectively. As an organic nitrogen, proteose peptone was the best and $(NH_4)_2HPO_4$ as an inorganic nitrogen was good. The optimal concentration of proteose peptone and $(NH_4)_2HPO_4$ were 2 and 0.2%, respectively. The optimal ratio of glucose to proteose peptone for production of mycelium was 10 : 1. Also, the optimal concentrations of $K_2HPO_4$ and $MgSO_4$ were 0.2 and 0.06%, respectively and that of $CaCl_2$ was 0.1%. Among the bioextracts, yeast extract was the most effective and its optimal concentration was 1.5%. In chemical components of the mycelium of Lyophyllum decastes, total sugar, crude protein and crude fat were 34.80, 28.35 and 2.50%, respectively. Its ash was 7.57% and crude fiber 11.99%.

The aim of this study was to establish the optimal medium composition for enhancing L(+)-lactic acid (LLA) production using response surface methodology (RSM). Lactobacillus paracasei SRCM201474 was selected as the LLA producer by productivity analysis from nine candidates isolated from kimchi and identified by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Plackett-Burman design was used to assess the effect of eleven media components on LLA production, including carbon (glucose, sucrose, molasses), nitrogen (yeast extract, peptone, tryptone, beef extract), and mineral (NaCl, K₂HPO₄, MgSO₄, MnSO₄) materials. Glucose, sucrose, molasses, and peptone were subsequently chosen as promising media for further optimization studies, and a hybrid design experiment was used to establish their optimal concentrations as glucose 15.48 g/l, sucrose 16.73 g/l, molasses 39.09 g/l, and peptone 34.91 g/l. The coefficient of determination of the equation derived from RSM regression for LLA production was mathematically reliable at 0.9969. At optimum parameters, 33.38 g/l of maximum LLA increased by 193% when compared with MRS broth as unoptimized medium (17.66 g/l). Our statistical model was confirmed by subsequent validation experiments. Increasing the performance of LLA-producing microorganisms and establishing an effective LLA fermentation process can be of particular benefit for bioplastic technologies and industrial applications.

Effects of culture conditions and Mn(II) addition were investigated for production of extracellular manganese peroxidase by lignin-degrading fungus LSK-27, Nitrogen source was shown to more influence the production of extracellular manganese peroxidase by LSK-27 than carbon source. When peptone or yeast extract as nitrogen source was added, high MnP activity was obtained. Especially, nitrogen-sufficient culture condition was effective in MnP activity, showing significantly increase up to 1.0% peptone concentration, but carbon-sufficient was not. Mn(II) was shown to strongly induce the MnP production in culture fluids of LSK-27. Increase of MnP actiyity was obeserved up to addition of 100ppm Mn(II), and over this Mn(II) concentration appeared to be inhibitory. The highest level of MnP activity was attained when Mn(II) was added after 2 day incubation.

Arthrobacter simplex (ATCC 6946) was cultured, induced and immobilized in acrylamide polymer. The characteristics of the immobilized whole-cell enayme were studied using hydrocortisone as the substrate. The enzyme activity was increased during the incubation of the gel particle in 0.5％ peptone media. The ennzyme reaction kinetics of the Δ'-dehydrogenase (3-oxosteroid Δ'-oxydo reductase, E. C. 1.3.99.4) foliowed the Michaelis-Menten type. Km and Vm values were different significantly after immobilization of the cell. The optimum pH and temperature were changed, too. Nitrogen sources such as casitone, peptone or tryptone were good media for the enzyme reaction. And there was no need to add cofactors of the enzyme in the pre-sence of energy sources used in the test. The effect of metal ions on the enzyme activity was insignificant. Organic solvents were used increase the substrate concentration and there was no optimum solvent concentration depending on the substrate concentration.
