Multiplication and spore production of three microsporidia(Nosema bombycis, Nosema sp. 1 and Nosema sp. 2) in selected tissues of pupa and adult of silkworm, Bombyx mori L. were studied in two seasons (SI, SII) with distinct temperature (SI: $20.1{\pm}0.8^{\circ}C$ and SII: $25.1{\pm}0.7^{\circ}C$) regimes. Multiplication of the microsporidia followed a logistic pattern with a lag phase, an exponential phase and a stationary phase. In SII, spore production was significantly (P<0.01) higher in various tissues. Highest spore production was observed 30 days post inoculation (p.i.) in SI and in SII, it was $21{\sim}23$ days p.i. Spore production was significantly (P<0.01) higher in the gut tissues than other tissues. Nosema sp. 2 registered significantly (P<0.01) higher spore production in both the seasons compared to Nosema bombycis and Nosema sp. 1. Results indicate that the multiplication and spore production of microsporidia are tissue specific and extremely sensitive to the temperature at which the host is reared. Through this study, the precise day that the spore numbers of the microsporidia are maximized can be predicted in both pupa and adult in case the infection is initiated in the first instar.

Multiplication and spore production of three microsporidia viz., Nosema bombycis, Nosema sp. 1 and Nosema sp. 2 in fifth instar larval tissues of silkworm, Bombyx mori L. in two seasons with distinct temperature regimes were studied. Nosema sp. 2 produced significantly (P < 0.01) higher number of spores in various tissues. Among the tissues, spore production was highest in silk gland, followed by fat body and gut. Spore production was significantly (P < 0.01) higher in season-II (Average temperature $29.4{\pm}1.1^{\circ}C$). Maximum spore production was observed 25 days post inoculation (p. i.) in season-I (Average temperature $18.9{\pm}1.1^{\circ}C$), whereas in season-II, it was 14 days p. i. In season-I, spore production was low up to 21 days p. i., then increased sharply. In season-II, there was a steady increase in spore production. The results indicate that the microsporidian multiplication is tissue specific and extremely sensitive to temperature at which the host is reared. It also reveals that, silk gland, fat body and gut are the most appropriate tissues for microscopic identification of microsporidia in the larval stage.

In the production of a low cost bacterial insecticide, it is important to produce a high spore concentration using low price substrates. Experiments were carried out to investigate the effects of the addition of mineral salts and glucose, and of dissolved oxygen concentration on the cell growth and spore formation of Bacillus thuringiensis var aizawai using a cheap wheat and soybean meal in the batch culture. The maximum viable cell number was 1.2${\times}$109 CFU/mL at 12 hr culture and spore yield was 54.2% at 74 hr culture using an industrial medium containing 20 g/L wheat meal and 30 g/L soybean meal under 1.0 vvm aeration and 200 rpm agitation. The cell growth and the spore formation were not enhanced by the addition of mineral salts in industrial medium, whereas th addition of 10g/L glucose decreased the cell growth and spore formation. We could obtain a maximum viable cell number of 2.2${\times}$109 CFU/mL and spore number of 1.9${\times}$109 CFU/mL at the dissolved oxygen concentration of 60% of saturation. The spore concentration was enhanced approximately by 2 times as compared to the dissolved oxygen concentration of 50%. In the bench-scale culture, the maximum viable cell and spore number were 2.5${\times}$109 CFU/mL, and 2.2${\times}$109 CFU/mL, respectively under 1.0 vvm aeration and 400 rpm agitation. The spore yield was 88% based on the maximum viable cell number. As a result, it was confirmed that the production of high spore concentration could be obtained by a bench-scale culture using an industrial medium.

The optimal temperature, pH and aeration rate for spore production by Bacillus polyfermenticus SCD in 500 ml shake flask and 5-1 jar fermenter were found to be $32^{\circ}C$, 7.0 and 1.0 vvm. respectively. When batch culture processes was performed under optimized culture conditions. viable cells were $3.3{\times}10^{10}$ CFU/ml and spore cells were $3.3{\times}10^{10}$ CFU/ml. Fed-batch culture processes were also examined with regard to higer maximum viable cell and spore production. The highe viable cells and spores were obtained in 5-1 jar fermenter at 72 h cultivation time by strategy in an intermediate feeding mode with 60% glucose solution 150 ml and 5% soybean flour solution 150 ml fed to the fermenter twice, and the productivity of spore cells was significantly increased. Finally. volumetric productivity of spore cells on fed-batch culture indicated $9.9{\times}10^8$ CFU/ml/h, which was approximately 2 times higher than batch culture. Thus, fed-batch culture show a promise as an industrial production method.

Due to the bad aspects associated with the use of antibiotics, the pressure on poultry production prompted the efforts to find out suitable growth-promoting and disease-preventing alternatives. Although many cost-effective alternatives have been developed, currently, one of the most auspicious alternatives for poultry feed is spore-forming probiotics, which can exert more beneficial effects as compared to normal probiotics, because of their ability to withstand the harsh external and internal conditions which result in increased viability. Many studies have already used spore-forming probiotics to improve different parameters of poultry production. Our laboratory has recently isolated a spore-forming bacterial strain, which has the potential to be used as a probiotic. So, to provide a detailed understanding, the current review aimed to collect valuable references to describe the mechanism of action of spore-forming probiotics and their effect on all the key aspects of poultry production.

To optimize the culture conditions for Beauveria bassiana 726, the effects of culture medium, pH, and temperature on mycelium and spore production were investigated. The optimum temperature and pH for the cultivation of B. bassiana 726 were 28 $^{\circ}C$ and 5.0, respectively. The optimized medium was composed of 1.0~2.0% total sugar from molasses, 0.5% corn steep liquor and 0.05% KH$_2$PO$_4$. In the cultivation of B. bassiana 726 with the optimum medium, the specific growth rate and substrate utilization were well-fitted with the proposed kinetic model in the shake flask and stirred tank reactor. When the fed-batch cultivation using carbon suorce, nitrogen source, and mineral salt as a feeding medium was compared with batch cultivation in stirred tank reactor, mycelium (12.7 g/L) and spore production (5.4$\times$$10^8/mL$) were enhanced up to 110% and 85%, respectively.

The cyclic undecapeptide, cyclosporin A (CyA), is one of the most commonly prescribed immunosuppressive drugs. It is generated nonribosomally from a multifunctional cyclosporin synthetase enzyme complex by the filamentous fungus Tolypocladium niveum. In order to maximize the production of CyA by wild-type T. niveum (ATCC 34921), each of three culture stages (sporulation culture, growth culture, and production culture) were sequentially optimized. Among the three potential sporulation media, the SSMA medium generated the highest numbers of T. niveum spores. The SSM and SM media were then selected as the optimal growth and production culture media, respectively. The addition of valine and fructose to the SM production medium was also determined to be crucial for CyA biosynthesis. In this optimized three-stage culture system, 3% of the spore inoculum generated the highest level of CyA productivity in a 15-day T. niveum production culture, thereby implying that the determination of an appropriate size of T. niveum spore inoculum plays a critical role in the maximization of CyA production.

Currently, enzymatic synthesis of lactulose, a synthetic prebiotic disaccharide, is commonly performed with glycosyl hydrolases. In this work, a new type of lactulose-producing biocatalyst was developed by displaying β-galactosidase from Bacillus stearothermophilus IAM11001 (Bs-β-Gal) on the surface of Bacillus subtilis 168 spores. Localization of β-Gal on the spore surface as a fusion to CotX was verified by western blot analysis, immunofluorescence microscopy, and flow cytometry. The optimum pH and temperature for the resulting spore-displayed β-Gal was 6.0 and 75℃, respectively. Under optimal conditions, it showed maximum activity of 0.42 U/mg spores (dry weight). Moreover, the spore-displayed CotX-β-Gal was employed as a whole cell biocatalyst to produce lactulose, yielding 8.8 g/l from 200 g/l lactose and 100 g/l fructose. Reusability tests showed that the spore-displayed CotX-β-Gal retained around 30.3% of its initial activity after eight successive conversion cycles. These results suggest that the CotX-mediated spore-displayed β-Gal may provide a promising strategy for lactulose production.

몇가지 목재부식성(木材腐蝕性) 담자균류(擔子菌類)의 포자(胞子)를 시간별로 수중(水中)에 담그는 방법(方法)을 사용하여 포자(布子)를 발아(發芽)시켜본 결과(結果) 한가지 균주에서 포자 발아가 억제 되었다. 침수시간(浸水時間)을 증가시킬수록 포자 발아가 증가(增加)된 균주는 5종(種)이었으며 포자발아가 전혀 일어나지 않는 균주는 1종(種)이었다. 이것은 포자(布子)의 원래 성질(性質) 및 항상성(恒常性)과 관계가 깊었다. 모든 시험균주는 침수(侵水) 직후(直後)가 최대(最大) 수분(水分) 흡수율(吸水率)을 나타내었으며 침수시간이 경과할수록 수분 흡수율은 저하하였다. 포자의 탈수속도(說水速度)를 비교한 결과, 2종(種)의 포자는 신속히 수분을 상실하였으나, 3(種)의 포자는 완만히 수분을 상실하였다. 즉 부피가 크고 단단한 포자보다 작으면서 섬세한 포자의 탈수속도(脫水速度)가 컸다.
