The ground persimmon puree was treated with two kinds of commercial polysaccharide hydrolyzing enzymes (Viscozyme and Celluclast) in order to study their effects on the extraction yield, viscosity, color, titratable acidity and sugars. Hydrolysis with Viscozyme which has enzymatic activity of arabinase, cellulase, xylanase, hemicellulase and ${\beta}-glucanase$ significantly increased the extraction yield, L-value and reducing sugar and decreased in viscosity by treatment for 10 min at $50^{\circ}C$. The extraction yield of the juice was increased from 42.7% to 80% by Viscozyme while the Celluclast to 73.3%. On the other hand, the sensory properties of persimmon-like flavor, scarlet and orange color were greatly improved for the juice hydrolyzed with Viscozyme for 60 min.

This experiment was conducted to determine the safety and feasibility of using compost-promoting-bacteria. Compost-promoting-bacteria was isolated from livestock compost containing sawdust. The isolated bacteria was identified as Bacillus subtilis LYH201 by the method of the composition of the fatty acid with MIDI system and Bergey's manual. This Bacillus subtilis LYH201 had the following characteristics : Gram-positive, straight rod ($0.5{\sim}0.7{\mu}m$ width, $2.5{\sim}3.0{\mu}m$ length), facultatively aerobic and product of xylanase, CMCase, catalase, oxidase, protease and $0.5{\sim}0.7{\mu}m$-amylase. Growth of Bacillus subtilis LYH201 at saccharose as carbon source(0.5%) was faster than other carbon source. Activity of cellulase. $0.5{\sim}0.7{\mu}m$-amylase and protease from Bacillus subtilis LYH201 after 24 hours at $50^{\circ}C$ by agar diffusion method was higher than that of low temperature. Optimum growth condition of Bacillus subtilis LYH201 was $50^{\circ}C$ and pH 6.

The cellulases production in solid state fermentation (SSF) of Trichoderma harzianum FJ1 with high cellulases productivity using cellulosic wastes was investigated. Physical and chemical conditions of the fermentation, such as moisture content, initial pH, and composition of mixed substrate (wine waste, rice straw, and soybean flour) on FPase (Filter paper activity) production were examined. The enzyme production was optimized in the conditions of moisture content of 70%, pH 5.0, 3$0^{\circ}C$, and 1:1:1 composition of mixed substrate containing wine waste, rice straw, and soybean flour. The highest activities of FPA, CMCase, Xylanase, $\beta$-glucosidase, and Avicelase in the optimized culture conditions were 15.2, 69.1, 83.9, 29.2, and 4.2 unit/g-SDW in 5 day cultivation, respectively. Economical and efficient production of cellulolytic enzymes by T harzianum FJ1 using cellulosic wastes in solid state fermentation will contribute to the biological saccharification of cellulosic wastes with enormous potential resource value in future.

Bacterio-mineral water (BMW) produced from manure has been known to exert a number of positive effects on animal production and odor control. An experiment was conducted to examine the effects of BMW produced from bio-reacted swine manure on in vitro gas production, cellulose degradation, microbial growth and fibrolytic enzyme activities of mixed rumen microorganisms. The five levels of 0, 0.001, 0.005, 0.01 and 1.0% BMW were supplemented into serum vials containing mixed rumen microorganisms. Incubations were carried out anaerobically at $39^{\circ}C$ without shaking for 0, 12, 24, 48, 72 and 96 h. There were no significant (p>0.05) differences among the treatments for the initial rate of gas production. At 72 h incubation, the gas production tended (p<0.1) to be increased by the 0.01 and 1.0% BMW treatments compared with control and the 0.001% BMW treatment. At the end of incubation (96 h), the sample supplemented with 0.01% BMW was higher (p<0.05) than control (0% BMW) in the gas production. The microbial growth rate was increased by all the BMW treatments, while 0.01% BMW was most effective in stimulating the growth rate. Although the addition of BMW on the filter paper DM degradation was not significantly influenced throughout the incubation period except the 48 h incubation, DM degradation tended to be increased by all BMW treatments compared with control. The addition of both 0.005 and 0.01% BMW highly increased (p<0.05) CMCase activity compared with control after 24 h and 48 h incubation, while at the 72 h incubation the 0.01% BMW addition only significantly increased (p<0.05). After 72 h incubation, the xylanase activity was significantly (p<0.05) increased with the addition of 1.0% BMW compared with the addition of 0.001 and 0.005% BMW, while at the other incubation times, the xylanase activity was not different among the treatments. In conclusion, the 0.01% BMW of supplementation level would be the suitable addition level to stimulate rumen fermentation increasing microbial growth and cellulose degradation.

This study was conducted to examine effects of feeding dry TMR(DTMR), wet TMR(WTMR) and fermented TMR(FTMR) on rumen fermentation, enzyme activity and digestibility in the total tract of sheep. Three rumen cannulated sheep were used in a 3${\times}$3 latin square design. The present results showed that pH, NH3-N, total and individual VFA, A/P ratio and enzymes (CMCase, Xylanase and Protease) activity in the rumen were higher in WTMR and FTMR compared with DTMR. In addition, dry matter, organic matter, crude protein, ether extract, NDF and ADF digestibility in the total tract were also higher in WTMR and FTMR compared with DTMR. Therefore, the present results showed that WTMR and FTMR are better than DTMR for rumen fermentation and nutrients digestibility.

Paenibacillus konkukensis sp. nov., SK3146 is a novel strain isolated from a pig feed. Here, we present complete genome sequence of SK3146. The genome consists of a single circular genome measuring 7,968,964 bp in size with an average guanine + cytosine (G+C) content of 53.4%. Genomic annotation revealed that the strain encodes 151 proteins related to hydrolases (EC3), which was higher than those in Bacillus subtilis and Escherichia coli. Diverse kinds of hydrolases including galactosidase, glucosidase, cellulase, lipase, xylanase, and protease were found in the genome of SK3146, coupled with one bacteriocin encoding gene. The complete genome sequence of P. konkukensis SK3146 indicates the immense probiotic potential of the strain with nutrient digestibility and antimicrobial activity functions.

The first purpose of this review is to outline some of the background information necessary to understand the mechanisms of action of fibre-degrading enzymes in non-ruminants. Secondly, the well-known and understood mechanisms are described, i) eliminating the nutrient encapsulating effect of the cell wall and ii) ameliorating viscosity problems associated with certain Non Starch Polysaccharides, particularly arabinoxylans and ${\beta}$-glucans. A third, indirect mechanism is then discussed: the activity of such enzymes in producing prebiotic oligosaccharides and promoting beneficial cecal fermentation. The literature contains a wealth of information on various non starch polysaccharide degrading enzyme (NSPase) preparations and this review aims to conclude by discussing this body of work, with reference to the above mechanisms. It is suggested that the way in which multi- versus single-component products are compared is often flawed and that some continuity should be employed in methods and terminology.

Cellulose degrading bacteria from koala faeces were isolated using caboxymethylcellulose-Congo red agar, screened in vitro for different hydrolytic enzyme activities and phylogenetically characterized using molecular tools. Bacillus sp. and Pseudomonas sp. were the most prominent bacteria from koala faeces. The isolates demonstrated good xylanase, amylase, lipase, protease, tannase and lignin peroxidase activities apart from endoglucanase activity. Furthermore many isolates grew in the presence of phenanthrene, indicating their probable application for bioremediation. Potential isolates can be exploited further for industrial enzyme production or in bioremediation of contaminated sites.

A moderately thermophilic, alkalophlic and powerful crystalline cellulose-digesting bacterium, Bacillus K-12, was isolated from filter paper wastes and found to be similar to Bacillus circulans or Bacillus pumilis, except for its ability to grow at a moderately high pH and temperature. The isolate grew at a pH ranging from 6 to 10 and at a temperature ranging from 35 to $65^{\circ}C$ and produced a large amount of cellulase components containing avicelase, xylanase, CMCase, and FPase when grown in avicel medium for 5 to 7 days at $50^{\circ}C$. The crude enzyme preparation from the culture broth hydrolyzed xylan, raw starch, pullulan and ${\beta}-1,3$ glucan such as laminarin. Furthermore, the enzyme hydrolyzed crystalline cellulose to cellobiose and glucose and had a broad pH activity curve (pH 6~9). The enzyme was stable up to $70^{\circ}C$.
