This study was carried out to know the factors affecting on shoot formation and rooting for stable and routine production of plantlets in bioreactor culture of Scrophularia buergeriana. Multiple shoots were formed effectively when explants were transplanted on the MS media with decreased concentration of $NH_4NO_3$ as 413mg/ l . Three hundred stem explants (0.8-1.0cm) was appeared as proper inoculation size in bioreactor culture. IBA (0.05mg/L) was more effective for rooting of the shoots in liquid as well as solid media. Six weeks long culture of explants in bioreactor gave better shoot shape for rooting on solid half-strength MS media.

The mycelial growths of wood-decaying mushroom strains collected from Korean forests were investigated on solid media under different culture media and temperatures. Most of strains showed the higher mycelial growth on potato dextrose agar (PDA) than malt extract agar (MEA) or sabouraud dextrose agar (SDA) plates. Except for a few strains, they grew well on PDA at $25^{\circ}C$ and showed a poor growth at low temperature ($10^{\circ}C$) than high temperature ($30^{\circ}C$). All strains showed the carboxymethylcellulase (CM-cellulase) and laccase activities on solid media containing the specific substrates for two different enzymes.

Rapid, real-time detection of pathogenic microorganisms is an emerging and quickly evolving field of research, especially with regard to microorganisms that pose a major threat to public health. Herein, a new method that uses bioimpedance and solid culture medium for the real-time detection of microorganisms is introduced. We fabricated a new impedimetric biosensor by integrating solid media and two plane electrodes attached on two facing sides of an acryl well. During bioelectrical impedance analysis, the solid medium showed the characteristics of a homogenous conductive material. In a real-time impedance measurement, our solid-medium biosensor could monitor bacterial growth in situ with a detection time of ${\sim}4$ hrs. Our data indicate that the solid-medium biosensor is useful for detecting airborne microorganisms, thereby providing a new analytical tool for impedance microbiology.

In order to elucidate the effect of acetate ion on the growth of Escherichia coli, flask and fermentor cultures were performed using M9 and LB media. Acetic acid was secreted at a higher rate under the conditions of high glucose concentration as well as of richer medium, i. e., LB broth. The pH in flask culture could not be controlled as i fermentor and pH decreased with the formation of acetic acid. The inhibition effect of acetic acid was pronounced at a lower pH, and the effective inhibitory concentrations of acetic acid were 2.0g/l for LB flask culture, 4.0g/l for M9 flask culture, and 8.0g/l for M9 fermentor culture. Dialysis flask culture was designed to slowly provide E coli cells with glucose. Solid LB agar was layered under LB liquid medium with the variation of agar concentration and solid volume, The increase in the solid portion in the total volume(agar＋liquid) resulted in the increase of the final cell concentration. This can be ascribed to the fact that the larger solid phase behaves like a larger reservoir for glucose and controls the growth of E. coli with a controlled rate.

This study was conducted to evaluate the degradation of aromatic dyes and the production of ligninolytic enzymes by 10 white rot fungi. The results of this study revealed that Pycnoporus cinnabarinus, Pleurotus pulmonarius, Ganoderma lucidum, Trametes suaveolens, Stereum ostrea and Fomes fomentarius have the ability to efficiently degrade congo red on solid media. However, malachite green inhibited the mycelial growth of these organisms. Therefore, they did not effectively decolorize malachite green on solid media. However, P. cinnabarinus and P. pulmonarius were able to effectively decolorize malachite green on solid media. T. suaveolens and F. rosea decolorized methylene blue more effectively than any of the other fungi evaluated in this study. In liquid culture, G. lucidum, P. cinnabarinus, Naematoloma fasciculare and Pycnoporus coccineus were found to have a greater ability to decolorize congo red. In addition, P. cinnabarinus, G lucidum and T. suaveolens decolorized methylene blue in liquid media more effectively than any of the other organisms evaluated in this study. Only F. fomentarius was able to decolorize malachite green in liquid media, and its ability to do so was limited. To investigate the production of ligninolytic enzymes in media containing aromatic compounds, fungi were cultured in naphthalene supple mented liquid media. P. coccineus, Coriolus versicolor and P. cinnabarinus were found to produce a large amount of laccase when grown in medium that contained napthalene.

As the prevalence of tuberculosis declines, the proportion of nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) lung disease is increasing in Korea. The combined use of liquid and solid media increases the sensitivity of mycobacterial culture and shortens culture time. Because NTMs are ubiquitous in the environment, NTM lung disease requires strict diagnostic criteria to prevent over-diagnosis of NTM lung disease. Mycobacterium avium complex is the most common pathogen of NTM lung disease in Korea and present in two forms: upper lobe cavitary and nodular bronchiectatic form. Decision of treatment of NTM lung disease depends on the infecting species and overall condition of the patient. Because medical therapy requires the use of multiple drugs over 18 to 24 months, surgery for localized disease may be useful for those species refractory to medical therapy.

This study was conducted to find out the commercial in vitro propagation methods through protocom-like bodies (PLB) induced from shoot tip culture of Miltonia spp. Among several culture media for induction PLB from shoot tip in Miltonia spp., MS basal medium was better than Hyponex, Vacin & Went basal medium and other media supplemented with natural additives. PLB's proliferation and differentiation in Hyponex medium including $20g{\cdot}L^{-1}$ banana + $20g{\cdot}L^{-1}$ sucrose(pH 5.2) was better than in MS medium. It was tendency that solid media showed higher PLB fresh weight than liquid medium or other cotton bridge culture. The dark culture for 1~2 weeks and adding $10{\sim}20g{\cdot}L^{-1}$ sucrose on hyponex basal medium was the most effective to increase the PLBs growth and shoot number.

In order to elucidate the possibility of artificial production of p. ferulae by solid-state culture, the optimization of culture conditions was carried out. When $NH_4H_2PO_4$ and $CaCO_3$ were used in the cultures using test tube with 30 g of Populus sawdust at $25^{\circ}C{\pm}1$ in the dark, the favored mycelial growth was observed with $1\%$ of $NH_4H_2PO_4$ and the production of polysaccharide was 7.85 mg/100 mg of mycelium with $1\%$ of $CaCO_3$. The mixtures of $80\%$ of Populus Sawdust and $20\%$ of rice bran at $60\%$ of water content were determined to be optimal for the production of fruiting bodies in the sawdust culture. When three treatments containing various ratios of garlic powder were conducted, yields of fruiting bodies were drasti[ally higher than those of Synthetic mixture without garlic powder The highest yield (143 g/bag) was obtained with $7\%$ garlic powder. The yield of synthetic mixture containing $7\%$ of garlic powder was $83\%$ higher than that of Sawdust culture. The reason why garlic powder did support growth was not clear but it is possible that garlic powder might contain effective components for the formation of fruiting body. The optimal synthetic mixture composition consisted of cotton seed $77\%$, lime $6.4\%,\;K_2HPO_4\;0.2\%,\;KH_2PO_4\;0.2\%,\;CaHPO_4\;0.2\%$, corn flour $4\%$, wheat flour $5\%$, and garlic pow-der $7\%$.
