The scale-up criterion of constant oxygen mass transfer coefficient ($k_La$) was applied for the production of itaconic acid (IA) in a 50 L pilot-scale fermentor by the fungal cells of Aspergillus terreus. Various operating conditions were examined to collect as many $k_La$ data as possible by adjusting the stirring speed and aeration rate in both 5 L and 50 L fermentor systems. In the fermentations performed with the 5 L fermentor, the highest IA production was obtained under the operating conditions of 200 rpm and 1.5 vvm. Accordingly, we intended to find out parallel agitation and aeration rates in the 50 L fermentor system, under which the $k_La$ value measured was almost identical to that ($0.02sec^{-1}$) of the 5 L system. The conditions of 180 rpm and 0.5 vvm in the 50 L system turned out to be optimal for providing almost the same volumetric amount of dissolved oxygen (DO) into the fermentor, without causing shear damage to the producing cells due to excessive agitation. Practically identical fermentation physiologies were observed in both fermentations performed under those respective operating conditions, as demonstrated by nearly the same values of volumetric ($Q_p$) and specific ($q_p$) IA production rates, IA production yield ($Y_{p/s}$), and specific growth rate (${\mu}$). Specifically, the negligible difference of the specific growth rate (${\mu}$) between the two cultures (i.e., $0.029h^{-1}$ vs. $0.031h^{-1}$) was notable, considering the fact that ${\mu}$ normally has a significant influence on $q_p$ in the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites such as itaconic acid.

Scale-up of hirudin production from Saccharomyces cerevisiae from bench-scale to pilot-scale was carried out based on constant volumetric oxygen transfer coefficient (K$\sub$L/a). Fed-batch mode of cultivation using step-wise feeding strategy of galactose was employed for the production of hirudin in a 30-L and a 300-L pilot-scale fermentor. The final hirudin concentrations were achieved 390 mg/L and 286.1 mg/L, and the volumetric productivities were 80.4% and 90.7% with the 30-L and 300-L fermentors, respectively, compared to the productivity of the 5-L bench-scale fermentor.

Production of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate)［P(3HB/V)］, by fed-batch culture of recombinant Escherichia coli harboring a plasmid containing the Alcaligenes latus polyhy-droxyalkanoate (PHA) biosynthesis genes, was examined in two pilot-scale fermentors with air supply only, In a 30 L fermentor having a XLa value of 0.11 S­$^1$, the final P(3HB/V) concentration and the P(3HB/V) content obtained were 29.6 g/L and 70.1 wt%, respectively giving a productivity of 1.37 g P(3HB/V)/L-h. In a 300 L fermentor having a XLa of 0.03 S­$^1$, the P(3HB/V) concentration and the P(3HB/V) content were 20.4 g/L and 69 wt%, respectively giving a productivity of 1.06g P(3HB/V)/L-h. These results suggest that economical production of P(3HB/V) is possible by fed-batch culture of recombinant E. coli in a large-scale fermentor having low KLa value.

Trichoderma reesei Rut C-30 produced high levels of ${\beta}$-glucosidase, endo-${\beta}$-glucosidase, endo-${\beta}$-1,4-glucanase, and exo-${\beta}$-1,4-glucanase. In pilot-scale production (50-1 fermentor), productivity and yield of CMCase (carborymethyl cellulose) and FPase (filter paper activity) were 273 U/ml and 35 U/ml, and 162 FPU/l.h and 437 FPU/g, respectively. The fed-batch techniques were used to improve enzyme activities with constant cell concentration. The acidity was an important parameter and controlled at pH 3.9 and 5.0 by automatic addition of ammonium hydroxide. Cellulase powder was prepared by ammonium sulfate precipitation and its CMCase and FPase activities were 3,631 U/g and 407 U/g, respectively.

In order to induce the rapid alcohol fermentation through the increases of the cell density in a continuous alcohol fermentation of naked barley, the single-cultivation with S. cerevisiae IS-019(SCM, ordinary control), mixed-cultivation with Saccharomyces uvarum IS-026 having a flocculent ability and S. cerevisiae IS-019(MCM), and mash recirculation by single-cultivation of S. cerevisiae IS-019(MRM) modes were investigated. The cell mass in the mixed-cultivation mode was about 10% higher than that of ordinary control but the final alcohol yield was slightlyl decreased. When recycled the mash with the flow rate of 7 l/h from V$_{6}$ to V$_{5}$ fermentors under the ordinary control, the cell density was distributed at 140~170$\times $10$^{6}$ cell/ml depending upon the fermentorsorders, higher about 20% than that of the ordinary control. Under these conditions the alcohol productivity of the maximum and the overall was 12.16 g/l$\cdot $h with an alcohol of 7.6% at the V$_{5}$ fermentor and 1.19 g/l$\cdot $h with an alcohol of 8.94%, respectively. For higher cell mass it was more effective to apply the mash recirculation mode with the single-cultivation of S. cerevisiae IS-019 in a pilot scale multi-stage CSTR.

Fusant FSC14-75의 산업적 이용가능성을 검토하기 위한 최종 실험으로서 Working volume이 300 liters인 pilot scale에서의 발효력을 조사하였다. 13,3%의 liquefied sweet potato starch (Total sugar=14.8%)을 ethanol 발효원으로 함유한 fermentation broth 300liters를 0.6% seed로 발효시킨 결과 발효 최종일인 8일만에 6.6%(v/v)의 ethanol을 생성하였고 이때 잔당은 15%이었으므로 발효율은 총당에 대해서는 70%, 소비당에 대해서는 87.5%로 나타났다. 한편 fermentation broth로부터 FSC-14-75 유래의 unicellular cell과 flocculent cell을 분리할 수 있었으며 이를 각각 FSC14-75(S)와 FSC14-75(F)로 명명하였고, 이들 두 균주의 ethanol 발효능을 mini-jar fermentor scale에서 조사한 결과 FSC14-75(F)가 ethanol productivity에 있어서 우수하였으며 15%의 liquefied potato starch로부터 발효 10일만에 8.1%(v/v)의 ethanol을 생성하여 발효율은 총당에 대해 75%였다. FSC-14-73 (F)의 ethanol productivity를 pilot scale에서 조사하기 위해 총당 15.33%의 liquefied sweet potato starch를 함유한 fermentation broth 300 liters를 1% seed로써 발효시킨 결과 ethanol 생성은 배양 8일만에 최대 7.7%(v/v)였으며 이때 잔당은 1.9%였다. 또한 FSC-14-75(F) 균주의 발효과정중 $\alpha$-amylase의 계속적인 작용효과를 검토하기 위하여 300 liters의 fermentation broth를 살균 후1% seed와 동시에 50$m\ell$의 Thermamyl을 재차 첨가하고 ethanol 생성을 조사한 결과 발효율 및 잔당은 첨가하지 않은 경우와 별다른 차이가 없었다.

Corynebacterium glutamicum CH 1516(L-leucine 생산주)를 사용하여 7l 발효조에서 배양온도 및 pH, 산소전달속도 등을 최적화한 결과 각각 $30^{\circ}C$, 7.0, 0.21 kmole $O_2$/$m^3{\cdot}hr$이었다. 산소전달속도가 0.19 kmole $O_2$/$m^3{\cdot}hr$ 보다 낮은 조건에서는 상당량의 lactic acid가 축적되었고 0.23 kmole $O_2$/$m^3{\cdot}hr$보다 높은조건에서는 glutamic acid가 생성되고 PCV가 크게 증가하였다. 한편 1200l 실험공장에서의 L-leucine 생산을 위해 7l 발효조에서 최적화된 배양조건을 적용하여 산소전달속도를 지표로 공정확대를 실시한 결과 7l 발효조와 거의 대등한 결과를 얻을 수 있었으며,산화한 원전위 -15-170 mV에서 L-leucine이 왕성하게 생산되었다.

산업적 R3HB의 생산을 위한 재조합 대장균의 pilot규모에서의 유가식 배양과 연속식 배양을 연구하였다. Pilot 규모에서의 R3HB생산을 위하여 안전한 two plasmid system pBRRed와 pMCS 105를 제작하였으며, 제작된 plasmids을 이용하여 여러 다른 대장균을 형질 전환하였다. 얻어진 재조합 대장균들을 30 l의 발효기에서 회분식 배양한 결과 대장균 XL-10 Gold(pBRRed, pMCS105)가 가장 높은 R3HB 농도를 보였다 30 1 발효기에서 대장균 XL-10 Gold (pBRRed, PMCS105)을 유가식 배양한 결과 22.4 g/1의 R3HB가 얻어졌으며, 생산성은 0.97 g/1-h를 보였다. 고농도의 R3HB를 고생산성으로 얻기 위하여 유가식 배양으로 높은 균체 농도를 얻은 후 연속 배양으로 R3HB를 생산하는 전략을 개발하였다. 그 결과 0.2 $h^{-1}$ 의 dilution rate에서 R3HB 생산성은 5.06 g/1-h를 보였다. 이러한 결과는 산업적 규모에서 재조합 대장균을 이용하여 R3HB를 고농도, 고생산성으로 얻을 수 있다는 것을 보여준다.

The effect of carbon sources on tacrolimus production by a mutant strain of Streptomyces clavuligerus CKD 1119, an isolate from soil, was examined. Among the carbohydrates and oils tested in this work, a mixed carbon source of soluble starch and com oil was the best. An analysis of the culture kinetics also showed that, in contrast to the carbohydrates, the com oil was consumed later in the antibiotic production phase, implying that the oil substrate was the principal carbon source for the biosynthesis of tacrolimus, and this was directly proven by experiments using $^{14}C$-glucose and $^{14}C$-oleate substrates. Furthermore, com oil induced the formation of lipase by the mutant strain, whereas the addition of glucose significantly repressed lipase activity. The lipase activity exhibited by the FK-506-overproducing mutants was also observed to be directly proportional to their tacrolimus yield, indicating that a high lipase activity is itself a crucial factor for tacrolimus production. A feasibility study with a 200-1 pilot-scale fermentor and the best strain (Tc-XII-15322) identified in this work revealed a high volumetric and specific productivity of about 495 mg/l and 0.34 mg/mg dry mycelium, respectively.
