Various alcohol yeast strains have been isolated from main mashes of Korean traditional liquors, and their genetic diversities were previously reported [23]. In this study, the strain SHY111, showing the highest alcohol production, was tested for its fermentation and sporulation characteristics. Additionally, its haploid cells were isolated and tested for their growth and fermentation patterns. The strain was identified as Saccharomyces cerevisiae based on its morphological and physiological characteristics. The sequences of the ITS(internal transcribed spacer) and 5.8S rDNA regions of S. cerevisiae SHY111 were found to be identical to those of S. cerevisiae that was obtained from through the yeast genome project. The maximum fermentation ratio obtained by the strain SHY111 (96.7%) was almost the same as that by S. cerevisiae Balyun No. 1 (96.5%) that was a little higher than that by S. cerevisiae KCCM11215(95.8%). The strain was induced for sporulation in a sporulation liquid medium using log phase cells grown in different types of pre-sporulation media, and its haploid cells were obtained by spore dissection using a micromanipulator. The majority of the spores formed a small colony on a YPD agar plate, and the haploid yeast cells derived from the strain SHY111 showed a variety of growth and alcohol fermentation patterns. It was proposed that the fermentation patterns were related to their growth phenotypes in the most haploid strains, but possible not in some strains.

Effect of ethanolic extracts of Lawsonia inermis, Azadirachta indica, Vinca rosea, Tagetes patula, Ocimum sanctum, Colocasia antiquorum, Adhatoda vasica, Moringa oleifera, Datura metel and Curcuma longa leaf on conidial germination, mycelial growth and sporulation of Aspergillus flavus, A. niger and A. fumigatus were examined. The conidial germination of A. flavus and A. fumigatus were most inhibited by the extract of L. inermis, while that of A. niger was inhibited by A. indica. Other tested plant extracts have a good effect on conidial germination on the selected fungi. The highest mycelial growth of A. flavus(37 mm) was found in V. rosea, but in case of A. niger and A. fumigatus it(38 and 39 mm) was found in D. metel. The lowest(4, 9 and 6 mm) respectively mycelial growth of these fungi found in L. inermis. The highest sporulation($75{\times}10^4/ml$) of A. flavus was counted in V. rosea, but in case of A. niger and A. fumigatus those($45{\times}10^4$ and $55{\times}10^4/ml$) were in D. metel and the lowest($5{\times}10^4,\;12{\times}10^4\;and\;9{\times}10^4/ml$) respectively sporulation of these fungi counted in L. inermis plant extract medium.

The alkaliphilic, calcium carbonate precipitating Bacillus sp. strain AK13 can be utilized in concrete for self-repairing. A statistical experimental design was used to develop an economical medium for its mass cultivation and sporulation. Two types of screening experiment were first conducted to identify substrates that promote the growth of the AK13 strain: the first followed a one-factor-at-a-time factorial design and the second a two-level full factorial design. Based on these screening experiments, barley malt powder and mixed grain powder were identified as the substrates that most effectively promoted the growth of the AK13 strain from a range of 21 agricultural products and by-products. A quadratic statistical model was then constructed using a central composite design and the concentration of the two substrates was optimized. The estimated growth and sporulation of Bacillus sp. strain AK13 in the proposed medium were 3.08 ± 0.38 × 10⁸ and 1.25 ± 0.12 × 10⁸ CFU/ml, respectively, which meant that the proposed low-cost medium was approximately 45 times more effective than the commercial medium in terms of the number of cultivatable bacteria per unit price. The spores were then powdered via a spray-drying process to produce a spore powder with a spore count of 2.0 ± 0.7 × 10⁹ CFU/g. The AK13 spore powder was mixed with cement paste, yeast extract, calcium lactate, and water. The yeast extract and calcium lactate generated the highest CFU/ml for AK13 at a 0.4:0.4 ratio compared to 0.4:0.25 (the original ratio of the B4 medium) and 0.4:0.8. Twenty-eight days after the spores were mixed into the mortar, the number of vegetative cells and spores of the AK13 strain had reached 10⁶ CFU/g within the mortar. Cracks in the mortar under 0.29 mm were healed in 14 days. Calcium carbonate precipitation was observed on the crack surface. The mortar containing the spore powder was thus concluded to be effective in terms of healing micro-cracks.

This study examined the effects of myristate on an asymbiotic culture of Rhizoglomus intraradices, a species of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF; Glomeromycota). Mycelial growth and sporulation in a modified medium containing myristate were observed. The findings demonstrated that myristate induced R. intraradices spore formation, with daughter spores having a smaller diameter than the parent spores. This observation is consistent with previous studies on other Rhizoglomus species. Further studies are needed to investigate the potential for continuous culture, mass production using daughter spores, and the application of AMF colonization techniques in plants.

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.

An efficient screening method was developed for rapid selection of a few overproducers of itaconic acid (IA) among the great many mutants derived from mother strains of Aspergillus terreus. For this purpose, an attempt was made to reveal the relationships of the growth rate and sporulation of each mutant on PDA solid medium with its IA productivity in the final liquid production-culture. As a result, it was possible to classify the mutated strains into 5 groups (from [A] to [E] group) according to theirmorphologies (i.e., growth rate and sporulation extent) on the PDA slants. Notably, most of the high-yielding mutants of IA were observed to belong to [A]group which had the properties of the highest growth rate and sporulation among the 5 groups, whereas the mutant groups of [C], [D] and [E] with the contrasting morphological features showed significant reductions in their IA productivities. From these results, it was concluded that the probability of selecting IA overproducing mutants could be remarkably enhanced when the mutated colonies showing faster growth rates are firstly selected on the PDA plate, and then further screening process is performed on the basis of the sporulation extents of the mutants selected. Consequently, through the application of the strategy developed in this study, costs and time involvedin the labor-intensive task of strain improvement could be reduced to a great extent, because the time-consuming liquid culture processes did not need to performed for the unfavorable mutants belonging to the groups other than group [A].

Conditions for the release and regeneration of protoplasts form Rhizopus oryzae and intergeneric protoplast fusion between Rhizopus oryzae and Aspergillus oryzae were studied. High yields of protoplast fusion between Rhizopus oryzae and Aspergillus oxyzae were studied. High yield of protoplasts from young germilings of R. oryzae were obtained by using lytic enzymes containing chitosanase (3 mg/ml), chitinase (3 mg/ml) and Novozym 234 (5 mg/ml). 0.5M glucose was used as the osmotic stabilizer and optimum pH of buffer was determined to be pH 7.5-8.0. Under these conditions, protoplasts were formed after about 3-4 hrs incubation. Approximately, 1.0%-4.9% of these protoplasts were formed after about 3-4 hrs incubation. Approximately, 1.0%-4.9% of these protoplasts regenerated on solid medium with a soft agar overlay. We have also carried out protoplasts fusion between R. oryzae and A. oryzae and have succeeded in obtaining three types of intergeneric fusants. In these experiments, 35% PEG-4000 and 10 mM CaCl$_{2}$ were used as fsogenic agents, and auxotrophic properties were used as a genetic marker to select fusants. Complementation frequency be protoplasts fusion of A. oxyzae and R. oryzae was 4.4% * 10$^{-5}$ . The fusant strains of the first type were prototrophs showing an Aspergillus type morphology with dark-yellow sporulation, those of the second type were also Apergillus type morphology but showed no sporulation. And the strains of the third type stopped growing when fusion products grown on regeneration minimal medium were transferred to fresh minimal medium. The formation of fusion products was observed by fluorescent vital stains for complementary labelling of protoplats from R. oryzae and A. oryzae. Rhodamine 6G and fluorescein diacetate wer useful complementary vital stains of Rhizopus and Aspergillus protoplasts for visualization of requency and type (dicell, multicell) of fusion.
