중금속 폐수 및 방사성 폐액 속에 포함된 납과 코발트를 제거하기 위해 생물흡착제로 Absidia coerulea와 Thraustochitrium sp.를 사용하여 흡착실험을 진행하였다. 납과 코발트 제거의 최적 pH 영역은 blank의 경우 각각 8.4~11.2, 10.5~11.5, Absidia coerulea는 6.5~11.4, 8.6~12.0, 그리고 Thraustochitrium sp.는 4.2~10.5, 8.9~11.6이었다. 초기 pH 5.0에서 1 g/L의 생물흡착제를 투입했을 때 Absidia coerulea와 Thraustochitrium sp.는 104와 125 mg/g dry biomass의 납을 제거할 수 있었으며, 초기 pH 6.0에서 코발트는 단지 2와 20 mg Co/g dry biomass만을 제거할 수 있었다. 초기 500 mg Pb/L, pH 5.0에서 최적 생물흡착제 투입량은 Absidira coerulea와 Thraustochitrium sp.가 각각 0.2 g/L이었으며, 초기 200 mg Co/L, pH 6.0에서는 3.0 g/L이었다 . Absidia coerulea와 Thraustochitrium sp.는 납에 대해서 높은 흡착능을 보였으나 코발트에 대해서는 비교적 낮은 흡착능을 보였다.

The production of chitosan from the mycelia of Absidia coerulea was studied to improve cell growth and chitosan productivity. Culture conditions were optimized in batch cultivation (pH 4.5, agitator speed of 250 rpm, and aeration rate of 2 vvm) and the maximum chitosan concentration achieved was 2.3g/L under optimized conditions. Continuous culture was carried out successfully by the formation of new growth spots under optimized conditions, with a chitosan productivity of 0.052g/L(sup)-1 h(sup)-1, which is the highest value to date, and was obtained at a dulution rate of 0.05h(sup)-1. Cell chitosan concentrations reached about 14% in the steady state, which is similar to that achieved in batch culture. This study shows that for the continuous culture of Absidia coerulea it is vital to control the medium composition.

In the process of producing chitosan from crustacean shell, the use of excessive acid and alkli is causing the problems of environmental pollution and of production cost. In this study, one way to solve these problems is to cultivate fungi, then, to extract chitosan from the cell wall. By means of flask incubation and batch cultivation, the optimum cultivation conditions for mass production of continuous cultivation was found. Four strains used for the production of fungal chitosan were Gongronella butleri IF08080, Absidia coerulea IF05301, Rhizopus delemar IF04775, Mucor tuberculisporus IF09256. In flask incubation to select strain of producing much chitosan by means of experiment of the effect of initial pH, Absidia coerulea IFO 5301 had highest yield in FCs, 258.1 $\pm$ 47.3 mg/200 $m\ell$l at pH 6.5. In flask incubation under the optimum cultivation condition, temperature 27$^{\circ}C$, culture time 6days, glucose 2%, peptone 1%, (NH$_4$)$_2$ SO$_4$ 0.5%, $K_2$HPO$_4$ 0.1 %, Nacl 0.1 %, MgSO$_4$ㆍ7$H_2O$ 0.05%, CaCl$_2$ㆍ2$H_2O$ 0.01 %, the yield of DCW brought the highest yields. In batch bioreactor, the optimum cultivation condition was that cell suspended solution was 70 $m\ell$, aeration rate 0.5 l/min, agitation rate 800 rpm, culture time 36 hr. In continuous bioreactor, the optimum substrate flow rate was 4 ι/day.
