Efficient plant regeneration via shoot organogenesis from in vitro cultured leaf segments of chrysanthemum (Dendranthema grandiflora Tzvelev cv. Namjeon) was achieved. Adventitious shoot formation from leaf explants was greatly influenced by plant growth regulator, leaf age, light condition, explant number per culture vessel, and explant orientation. Leaf segments, obtained from fully expanded young 1-2nd leaves and inoculated 8 explants per petri-dish with adaxial surface contact with MS medium supplemented with 0.5 mg/L BA and 2.0 mg/L NAA, produced 100% regeneration frequency and 13.7 shoots per explant. Regenerated adventitious shoots were successfully rooted in MS medium with 0.1 mg/L NAA. The plantlets were acclimatized in artificial soil mixtures (Vermiculite:Perlite=1:1), and transferred to greenhouse for flowering. The regenerated plants showed normal phenotypes.

Lactobacillus plantarum KLAB21 isolated from kimchi has been shown to produce antimutagenic subtance(s) into the culture medium using Salmonella typhimurium TA100 and S. typhimurium TA98 (Rhee and Park, Korean J. Appl. Microbiol.. Biotechnol., 1999, in press). In this study, the effects of culture conditions were investigated to maximize the production of antimutagenic substance(s) against 4-nitro-O-phenylenediamine(NPD) by the strain KLAB21. Glucose(255) as a carbon source and yeast extract or bactopeptone(1%) as a nitrogen source showed the highest production of the antimutagenic substance(s). Optimal initial pH of the culture medium, culture temperature and shaking speed for the antimutagenic substance(s) production were pH 7.0, 37$^{\circ}C$ and 150rpm, respectively. Under the optimal conditions, the antimutagenic activity of L. plantarum KLAB21 culture supernatant against NPD on Salmonella typhimurium TA100 and S. typhimurium TA98 were 73.95% and 59.74%, respectively.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine effects of culture conditions on the growth and antibacterial activity of Streptococcus salivarius K12. Materials and Methods: S. salivarius K12 was cultivated in medium containing animal and plant protein or in medium of neutral and acidic conditions. The growth of S. salivarius K12 was measured every 2 hours by a spectrophotometer. The antimicrobial activity of S. salivarius K12 against Streptococcus mutans and Porphyromonas gingivalis was investigated by the susceptibility assay using the spent culture medium. Results: the growth of S. salivarius K12 showed faster in medium containing plant protein and neutral pH condition. The antimicrobial and antifungal activity of S. salivarius K12 appeared stronger in medium containing plant protein than animal proteins. Conclusion: For application of S. salivarius K12 to bacterial oral disease, co-substances may be needed for S. salivarius K12 to colonize in the oral cavity and enhance the antimicrobial activity.

This study was carried out to investigate the promoting effect of wood flour on the mycelial growth of Lentinus lepideus and Lentinus edodes. To determine the optimal culture condition, we first examined the tissue origin of pine flour (Pinus densiflora) including needle, bark, root and xylem. Only the xylem-derived flour increased mycelial growth compared to no treatment control. The addition of the xylem flour (5 g/l) showed the highest increase and the glucose level in the basal medium was best at 10 g/l. The smaller particle size of the xylem flour showed the positive effect on mycelial growth; two-fold increase when supplemented with flour of which particle size is less than $106\;{\mu}m$ in diameter compared to $425\;{\mu}m$. The addition of the xylem flour continuously increased the mycelial production for 25 days while mycelia stopped growing within 15 days without the xylem flour. In addition, when woody flour obtained from the different tree species was applied to L. edodes mycelial culture, all treatments accelerated mycelial production compared to the control. Based on all results described above, we conclude that the supplementation of woody flour to culture medium may be an another promising way to increase mycelial production of economically important fungi.

Attempts were made to regenerate plants from petiole explane of Forest Pimpinella barchycarpa via repetitive somatic embryogenesis. Effective induction of somatic emb교ogenesis was achieved on both MS and modified $B_{5}\;(mB_{5})$ media containing BA + 2,4-D or BA + 2,4-D + NAA under light condition (16-h photoperiod/day) cultures. The explants exposed to the ligt produced numerous somatic embryos while those kept under the dark did not form any on the same medium. Somatic embryos at different developmental stages were observed to arise within a individual explants. Plantlets could be regenerated on $mB_{5}$ basal medium or $mB_{5}$ containing 0.1 mg/L NAA Secondary adventive embryos were formed on the surface of the somatic embryos. Therefore, repetitive somatic embryogenesis could be achieved by secondary embryogenesis. Although the treatment of 2,4-D or NAA alone was effective in callus formation and growth, but not in induction of somatic embryogenesis. Some explants, cultured on NAA-containing media in darkness, produced only adventive roots. The embryogenic potential was maintained for two years when subcultured to BA and 2,4-D containing media with 5 weeks inteval. Regenerated plantlets were maintained on $mB_{5}$ or MS basal media for 4 to 6 more weeks and transferred to soil of an artificial mixture for acclimation. Most plantlets (more than 97%) survived, and grew without any deformity.

In vitro culture of shoot tip of garlic (Allium sativium L. cv. Seosan) was carried out to find medium condition of the induction of multiple shoots and bulbing for muliproduction of virus-free seed bulbs. For this work, tank culture was introduced. In shoot tip culture on MS solid medium the induction of multiple shoots and bulbing were better by adding 3% sucrose than 8%. Supplementation with 2mg/L 2ip and 0.2 mg/L IAA in this medium was effective. Three point three shoots including 2.7 bulbs were formed from a shoot tip after cultivation for 30 days on this medium. Bulbing of garlic in liquid culture with plastic water tank of 20L supplied air at the side of the lower part was better by adding 3% sucrose than 8% by subculture for 45 days with shoots obtained from shoot tip culture for 30 days on soid MS medium. Shoot growth was vigorous at 3% sucrose however bulb growth was more effective on the medium of 8% sucrose. Because of the effectiveness on solid medium added 3% sucrose, 2 mg/L 2ip and 0.2 mg/L IAA for initial production of multi-shoot in stem tip culture and the effectiveness in liquid culture with water tank for growth of bulbs, the method of two-step culture could be introduced for the multiple production of seed bulb of high quality. It was more desirable by supply of 0.2 mg/L BA and 0.02 mg/L NAA at tank culture time. But growth of the bulbs became poor by increasing concentration of NAA of the medium.

In relation to shortening generation by using embryo culture of barley immature seed, it is important to find out profitable embryo age for embryo culture and to understand the relationship among embryo and other characters. Two varieties(Olbori and Dusan #12) were cultivated under two growth conditions(15/10 and 25/15$^{\circ}C$). The embryos were aseptically excised when immature seeds were collected 9, 13, 17, 21, 25 and 29 days after heading and cultured on $B_5$ medium. On the 21st day after heading, the length of embryos from top or middle part of spike was longer than that from bottom part. Embryos from bottom part under low temperature condition had the shortest length. Shoot length, root length and root number after embryo culture were little difference among three parts of spike under high temperature condition. Under low temperature, seedlings from bottom part of spike were inferior to those from top or middle part. Length of 29-day-old embryos under low temperature condition was similar to that of 17-day-old ones under high. Under high temperature condition, the length of 17-day-old embryo had positive correlation with kernel width, shoot length, root length and root number, but that of 21-day-old one didn't have. Seventeen-day-old embryos obtained from 25/15$^{\circ}C$ growth condition seem to be efficient to shortening generation by using embryo culture.

This study was carried out to determine the optimal liquid medium composition of ginseng (Panax ginsengC.A. Meyer) root induced by growth regulators in order to improve the yield of saponin production. Submerged culture conditions were optimized using the fractional factorial design with 4 factors and 3 levels by a RSM computer program The effects of various pH values of medium, sucrose, nitrogen and phosphate concentration on the saponin content of the ginseng root were investigated. The optimum phosphate concentration determined by a partial differentiation of the model equation, pH of medium, sucrose and nitrogen concentration were phosphate 93 mg/L, pH 5.5, sucrose 5% and nitrogen 50 mg/L, respectively. Under these conditions, the predicted saponin content of ginseng root was estimated at 0.308%.

Experiments were conducted to find the optimal acclimatization conditions for Eleutherococcus senticosus plantlets regenerated from bioreactor cultured somatic embryos, various acclimatizing conditions were compared regarding both survival rate and growth of the plantlets. Among the various temperature and artificial soil tested, the highest survival rate (88%) was observed when plantlets were acclimatized in Klasmann bed soil at $10^{\circ}C$ When in vitro plantlets directly transplanted to field environment, shading treatment was necessary and 50% shading was more effective than 30% shading. Transplanting season were also important for successful acclimatization of in vitro cultured plantlets, transplanted on March 20 with 50% shading exhibited the best survival rate and further growth.
