The effects of nitrogen sources(sodium glutamate and peptone) on the production of xanthan gum were investigated. The fermentation using sodium glutamate as a nitrogen source is longer than that of peptone. In the initial nitrogen concentration of 0.4-1.0g/L, Bs was about 2.0 and ${\beta}$s was 1.2. The optimal yields were obtained when the carbon source/nitrogen concentration was 10-16. The fermentation time and product yields in the fermentation medium of mixed nitrogen source [sodium glutamate-N(0.75g/L)+peptone-N(0.25g/L)] were similar to those of peptone.

Carbon sources and nitrogen sources are known to be very important in protease production by microorganisms. The effects of carbon source and nitrogen source on protease biosynthesis by Bacillus licheniformis were investigated using batch cultures. As initial carbon and nitrogen concentrations of culture medium increased, the specific growth rate of Bacillus licheniformis was increased, while the specific protease production rate was decreased. From the results of batch cultures, a mathematical model which considers the effects of carbon source and cnitrogen source was proposed and the methods to increase the productivity of protease were discussed.

Studies were made on the optimization of media to c비tivate Thraustochytrium aureum A TCC 34304 for the enhanc엉d p production of linoleic acid. The medium optimization was made with the artificial sea water medium. Yeast extract, sodium g glutamate, peptone and tryptone were considered as nitrogen source. The effect of $\infty$ncentration of nitrogen source as well a as initial glucose on the production of linoleic acid were investigated to optimize the media. The maximum yield of lipid was 0 0.302 mg/g cell mass when initial glucose $\infty$ncentration was 10 g/L and sodium glutamate was used as nitrogen source, a and the yield of linoleic acid to unit cell mass was also maximum to be 8 % in that case. The highest linoleic acid c concentration was obtained in the initial glucose concentration 30 g/L regardless of the kinds of nitrogen source and the | linoleic acid concentration was 0.208 g/L when peptone was supplemented to be 2 g/L.

Productivity of biosurfactant (rhamnolipid) by Pseudomonas aeuginosa F722 was investigated in the several culture conditions and culture composition. Biosurfactant production by P. aeuginosa F722 was amounted to 0.78 g/l as the result of the nitrogen sources and carbon sources without investing of optimum conditions. As for that one was investigated, biosurfactant production by P. aeruginosa F722 was amounted to 1.66 g/l. Biosurfactant production increased twofold because the composition of a modified C-medium was investigated efficiently. $NE_4$Cl or $NaNO_2$ inorganic nitrogens and yeast extract or trypton organic nitrogens were effective, but others inorganic nitrogens and organic nitrogens tested were not efficient far biosurfactant production by P. aeruginosa F722. The optimum concentration of $NH_4$Cl; inorganic nitrogen and yeast extract; organic nitrogen were 0.05% and 0.1%, respectively. In various carbon sources, others with the exception of hydrophobic property substrate (n-alkane) and hydrophilic property substrate (glucose, glycol) were not found to be effective fur biosurfactant production, and 3.0% was better in yield than other concentration of glucose. This yielded C-to-N ratios between 17 and 20. In our experiment, the highest biosurfactant production by P. aeruginosa F722 were observed in 5 days cultivation, containing glucose 3.0%, $NH_4$Cl 0.05%, and yeast extract 0.1% and C-to-N ratio was 20. Optimal pH and temperature for biosurfactant production were 7.0 and $35^{\circ}C$, respectively. Under the optimal culture conditions with glucose, biosurfactant production was amounted to 1.66 g/l. Velocity of biosurfactant production and strain growth increased after nitrogen depletion. The average surface tension of 30 mN/m after the 3 days of incubation under optimal culture condition was measured by ring tensionmeter.

In this study, the effects of nitrogen sources and pH on pullulan production were investigated. As a result, the best nitrogen source in pullulan production by Aureobasidium pullulans was shown to be peptone and its product yield was 62%. Optimum concentration of carbon/nitrogen source ratio was 50/0.15 and the production of pullulan was inhibited at ratios higher than 50/0.15. Aureobasidium pullulans had produced 29.1, 27.4 and 26.5 g/L pullulan, respectively in media I, II, and III containing mixed nitrogen sources. This result showed that pullulan could be produced efficiently from mixed nitrogen source. It was found that pullulan yield with pH control was higher than that with no pH control. In fedbatch fermentation, pullulan yield obtained with a feeding rate of 0.05 N-g/L for nitrogen source was higher than that without nitrogen source feeding.

Chitinase producing microorganism, Serratia marcescens KY, was isolated from seashore mud around Beobseongpo in Chunnam province by selective enrichment culture. As the colloidal chitin concentration increased, chitinase production was increased. But chitinase production with addition of other carbon sources (glucose, fructose, galactose, maltose, sucrose, starch) was decreased. The effect of nitrogen sources on the chitinase production with serratia marcescens KY was as fellows. The opitimum mineral concentration for chitinase production was K$_2$HPO$_4$ 0.2 g/L and MgSO$_4$ 0.20 ∼ 0.25 g/L, respectively. The effect of nitrogen sources on chitinase production by Serratia marcescens KY was increased as follows, tryptone > yeast extract > beef extract > asparagine.

The nitrogen source-requirement and preference of ectomycorrhizal fungi (42 strains belong to 13 genera) collected from Korean forests were investigated by incubating mycelial cells in four nitrogen source test media for 56 days. The nitrogen requirement was relatively high in five strains (Heimioporus japonicas (KFRI 1224), Suillus luteus (KFRI 1232), Tylopilus castaneiceps (KFRI 1383), Suillus granulates (KFRI 1997), Rhizopogon sp. (KFRI 1434)) in comparison with other strains. Forty-five percent of ectomycorrhizal strains including Boletus griseus (KFRI 1362) preferred the ammonium-form of inorganic nitrogen source for mycelial growth, whereas thirty-six percent of tested strains including Suillus grevillei (KFRI 1125) preferred the nitrate-form as an inorganic nitrogen source.

The present study was undertaken to investigate the effects of different nitrogen source and rate on the growth of Fusarium oxysporum f. vasinfectum which is known to be a noticeable fungus causing the wilt disease of both sesame and cotton in Korea. From the results of this study, It was known that different N source and rate markedly affect the growth of Fusarium oxyspsrum f. vasinfectum Among four N sourses were used in this study, nitrate-N and urea-N were appropriate N source for the growth of fungus. Above all, nitrate N was the best N source because it is utilized in more extensive range of concentration in comparison with the other N source by the fungus, On the other hand, ammonia-N is of little avail for the growth of the fungus because of the formation of unusual colonies with wavy margin and bead-like mycelial cells in addition to marked reduction of mycelial growth and B sporulation of the fungus irrespective of concentration. Judging from the formation of such an abnormal colony and bead-like mycelial cell which is known to be a characteristic of 'staling-type' growth of fungi, the effect of ammonia-N on the growth of Fusarium oxysporum f. vasinfectum is similar to that of phenoxy componnds on some other fungi previously investigated by some workers. Ammonium and nitrate also was not considered to be an appropriate source for the growth of the fungus because of the formation of colonies with slight wavy margin and appreciable reduction of mycelial growth and sporulation in higher concentration than 50meq. , although much or less masking of the irregularity of colony occurs. Therefore, ammonia N alone or any other N combined with ammonia N is of little avail for the growth of Fusarium oxysporum f. vasinfectum.

A field experiment was conducted to find out the effects of liming (soil pH) and sources of N on the chemical constituents of soil and leaf lamina of burley tobacco. Treatments consisted of liming (nonliming, liming to soil pH 5.5 and 6.5) as the main plot and N sources［compound fertilizer of containing 3.9% $NH_4-N$ and 6.1% $NH_2-N,\;NaNO_3,\;(NH_2)_2CO\;and\;(NH_4)_2SO_4$］as the sub-plot. The soil pH was high in $NaNO_2$ plot, while low in $(NH_4)_2SO_4$. But the differences of Ca concentration in top soil among N sources were not detected. The $NO_3-N$ concentration in top soil was high in high limed and $NaNO_3$ plot. The $NO_3-N$ content of leaf (lamina) at 75 days after transplanting was high in $NaNO_3$ plot and CaO con-tent of leaf at 45 days after transplanting was high in high limed plot. But neither liming nor N source had effect on the contents of total nitrogen, $P_2-O_{5}\;and\;K_2O$ of leaf during growing season. There was no significant differences in total alkaloid and total nitrogen contents of cured leaf (lamina) to liming and N source. But when the source of N was $NaNO_3$, the content of total alkaloid was increased by adding lime. When the source of N was $(NH_4$)_2SO_4$, the content of $K_2O$ in cured leaf was high while CaO was low. But neither liming nor N source had effect on the contents of $P_2-O_{5}$ and MgO in cured leaf.
