The production conditions of cellulolytic enzymes by a fungus, strain FJ1, were optimized using response surface analysis. The culture factors which largely affected the production of enzymes such as cultivation time, carbon source concentration, nitrogen source concentration, and composition ratio of carbon sources were employed. Optimizedconditions of the factors above corresponding to each cellulolytic enzyme production were as fellowing: CMCase production was obtained in the conditions of cultivation time of 5.4 days, carbon source concentration of 3.5%, nitrogen source concentration of 0.6%, and composition ratio of carbon sources of 52:48 (avicel:CMC), xylanase appeared in the conditions of 5.3 days, 3.5%, 0.8%, and 54:46, respectively, and $\beta$-glucosidase were 7.0 days, 5.0%, 1.0%, and 83:17, respectively, and avicelase were 6.5 days, 4.0%, 0.9%, and 64:36, respectively. The activities of CMCase, xylanase, p-glucosidase, and avicelase predicted by the response surface methodology were 33.5, 52.6, 2.88, and 1.84 U/mL, respectively, and $\beta$-glucosidase activity was enhanced up to 74% when compared to that obtained in the experimental conditions.

A ploygalacturonase-produchg yeast was isolated from Cheju soil by selective eivichment media. One strain which has the highesl activity of polygalacturonase was selected. The characle~ishcs of the strain CS-2 were as follows: CS-2 utilized xylose. sucrose, maltose, u.ehalose, cellobiose. melibiose, lactose, raffinose, inosiiol, dulicilol, and dextrose, but did not utilized galactose, nitrate. nit~te, and lysine. Growth of CS-2 was inhibited by cyclohexamide, 1% acetic acid, and high concenaation (over 50%) of glucose. It grew at $30^{\circ}C$ but did 'IIOL $35^{\circ}C$. The cell size ofthe strain CS-2 was 2.9 p ~ n in length and 1.3 $\mu$ in diameter. Vegetable reproductmn was multiple budding and ascospre was present I to 4. Pseudomycelia or true myceliua formation were not observed In any of the cullureq. These results suggest that strain CS-2 is most likely a strain related Cryptococcus spp. (Cryptococcu spp. CS-2). When polygalacturonase or ihe yeast was induced by addition of polygalactoronic acid, polygalacturonase activity was detected in culture supernatent. There was a peak of specific activity a1 he mid-stationary phase(3 days culture) of growth. Polygalacturonase specific activity of Crylmcoccus sp. CS-2 was 2.96 unitsling. The molecular weighl ol'polygalacturonase was showed to be 46 KDa by both SDS-PAGE and activity stailling.

질소제거 능력이 있는 Pseudomonas aeruginosa을 고분자물질인 PEG 에 포괄고정화하였으며 제조된 고정화 미생물을 이용하여 질소제거에 미치는 C/N비, 농도, 충진율, 탄소별 제거율을 검토한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1) C/N비 10이상이면 NH$_4$-N 와 NO$_3$-N의 동시 제거가 가능하였으며 2) 탄소 원으로는 glucose를 사용하였을 때 NH$_4$-N 와 NO$_3$-N의 동시 제거가 가능하였으나 methanol은 탄소원으로 사용할 수 없었다. 3) 저농도의 NO$_3$-N(50 mg/L)는 완전히 제거 가능하였으나 NH$_5$-N인 경우에는 초기 NH$_4$-N 100 mg/L에서 60%정도만 제거되었다. 4) 연속처리 결과 NH$_4$-N는 HRT 변동에도 불구하고 유출수 농도 변화가 거의 없었으나, 오히려 C/N비를 증가시키면 NH$_4$-N 제거 효율이 높았고, NO$_3$-N인 경우도 마찬가지로 C/N비를 증가시키면 NO$_3$-N 제거 효율이 높았다.

Thermophillic fungus Thermoascus aurantiacus showed excellent growth and produced high amount of alcohol oxidase and catalase in a pectin medium. Besides, the strain produced enzymes which related with pectin or alcohol decomposition. We detected extracellular pectin esterase (EC 3.1.1.11) activity and, both intracellular and extracellular pectinase (EC 4.2.2.10) activity, as pectinolytic enzymes produced by T. aurantiacus. The production of methanol decomposition enzymes, such as alcohol oxidase (AOD, EC 1.1.3.13), alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH, EC 1.1.1.1), formaldehyde dehydrogenase (FADH, EC 1.2.1.1) and formate dehydrogenase (FDH, EC 1.2.1.2) follows by pectin esterase reaction which is converted to methanol. We concluded that T. aurantiacus has pectinolytic and alcohol - oxidative enzymological mechanism which produced carbon dioxide as a final material, started from pectin.

In this study, Pullulan Production from whey medium by Aureohsidium pullulans was investigated. When the Pullulan production from whey medium was carried outs final cell concentration was similar to sucrose basal medium but Pullulan concentration was less than 5g/$\ell$. For pullulan production from whey medium, adaptation culture technique was tried on lactose and galactose base medium When the adaptation culture technique was not applied, the maximum concentration of pullulan was 3.4g/$\ell$ for lactose, 2.5g/$\ell$ for galactose. Adapted strains produced 10~12g/$\ell$ from lactose, 10~11g/$\ell$ from galactose. The pullulan production from lactose basal medium was 13.5g/$\ell$ for lactose adapted strains and 18.6g/$\ell$ for galactose adapted strains. When the adapted strains were inoculated on whey medium, maximum pullulan production was obtained at initial pH 3.0.

토양으로부터 Actinomycetes 분리: Actinomycetes는 항생물질이나 항암물질을 많이 생산하는 중요한 균주로 의학계나 농업분야에 널리 이용되고 있다. Adenosine deaminase 저해제를 생산하는 균주를 찾기 위해 토양으로부터 actinomycetes를 분리하였다 Suluble-starch-casein배지와 AS-1배지를 이용하였는데 이들은 탄소원으로 용해성 전분을 공통적으로 함유하고 있다. 나무밑이나 산, 언덕등의 건조한 토양이나 두엄이나, 두엄밑의 토양을 탄산칼슘을 처리하여 주었을 때 actinomycetes가 많이 생장하는 것으로 알려져 있으므로 이러한 흙들을 채취하여 actinomycetes 분리에 이용하였다.

Bacterial cellulose (BC) was produced by Gluconacetobacter hansenii PJK (KCTC 10505 BP) strains using the waste of beer fermentation broth. It contained more C and N than a basal medium with a small amount of S and more than 4％ ethanol. The amount of BC produced in a shaking culture using the waste of beer fermentation broth was nearly the same as that of a basal medium. The production of BC decreased in a shear stress field in a jar fermenter although the conversion of cellulose producing ($Cel^+$) cells to non-cellulose producing ($Cel^-$) mutants was not severe. This study showed that the waste of beer fermentation broth is an inexpensive carbon, nitrogen source with ethanol and thus a worthy substitute for the conventional medium for BC production.

Soil organic carbon has long been considered as the most critical factor to evaluate the soil quality, fertility, and fertilizer prescription. In addition, soil organic carbon may impact on greenhouse gas effects and global warming. Because of that, the management of soil organic carbon is increasingly important not only for improving soil quality but also for managing soil as a greenhouse gas source. Both wet and dry combustion have been used to determine soil organic carbon. Many benefits, such as automation and less labor, could the dry combustion method become more popular. Inorganic form of carbon could overestimate soil organic carbon when the dry combustion method was applied. Determination of soil inorganic carbon may contribute to the improved accuracy of soil organic carbon analysis using dry combustion method. Objectives of this research were 1) to develop soil inorganic carbon determination method using modified digital pressure calcimeter and 2) to evaluate soil organic carbon from calcareous soils using the dry and wet combustion method. Results showed that the significant linear relationship was found between soil inorganic carbon content and pressure calcimeter output. Inorganic carbon ranged from 22% to 28% of total carbon in the calcareous soil samples. Soil organic carbon content by dry combustion for calcareous soil was determined by subtracting inorganic carbon measured by the digital pressure calcimeter from total carbon. Soil organic carbon determined by dry combustion method was significantly correlated with that by wet combustion method. In conclusion, the digital pressure calcimeter may use to improve soil organic carbon determination for the calcareous soils by subtracting of soil inorganic carbon from total carbon determined by dry combustion method.

A lactic acid bacterial isolate Lactobacillus ssp. SCU-M which produces exopolysaccharide was identified and its cultural Condition was investigated. The optimum Conditions for exopolysaccharide(EPS) Production Of Lactobacillus ssp. SCU-M were 37$\^{C}$, pH 6.5, using medium composed of 1.5% galactose, 1.0% yeast extract, 0.25% peptone, 0.15% MgSO$_4$, 0.15% K$_2$HPO$_4$ and 0.1% tween 80 in distilled water. The EPS concentration after 48 hours at the Initial pH 6.5, 37$\^{C}$ in a flask culture was 1,680 mg/ℓ.
