Tannase production by Aureobasidium pullulans DBS66 was optimized. The organism produced maximum tannase in the presence of 1% tannic acid after 36 h. Maximum gallic acid accumulation was observed within 36 h and tannic acid in the fermented broth was completely degraded after 42 h of growth. Glucose had a stimulatory effect on tannase synthesis at 0.1% (w/v) concentration. The organism showed maximum tannase production with $(NH_4)_2HPO_4$ as nitrogen source. Shaking speed of 120 rpm and 50-ml broth volume have been found to be suitable for maximum tannase production.

The effects of non-ionic surfactants (Triton X-100 and Tween 80) on cloned glucoamylase production and secretion in recombinant Saccharomyces cerevisiae culture were studied. Even though the extracellular glucoamylase activity was increased by addition of Tween 80 due to the increase of the cell mass, Tween 80 did not play a role in the increase of glucoamylase secretion. On the addition of Triton X-100 addition, the secretion efficiency was increased while the cell growth was inhibited. Triton X-100 was added to the culture broth after 24 hr of culture to minimize the inhibition of the cell growth, and consequently the glucoamylase activity in the culture broth was increased by 12%.

A flocculent aggregate produced by Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis in broths containing Tween 80, including MRS broth, had a microscopic structure of intertwined thread-like filaments. The filamentous structure was not elongated bacterial cells, but consisted of an organic solvent-soluble portion and an insoluble solid. L. lactis subsp. lactis grown at $25^{\circ}C$ for 15 days in tryptic soy broth with 0.1% Tween 80 and 1.0% malt extract produced 13 mg/l of flocculent aggregate, which contained 0.84 g/g of organic solvent-soluble component. The organic solvent-soluble part was identified as 10-hydroxyoctadecanoic acid.

This studies were carried out to investgate the effects of omija (Schizandra chinensis) extracts(OE) on the growth of lactic acid bacteria (LAB, HYO-1 and HYO-2) isolated from home-made kimchi. The growth of isolated LAB was inhibited apparently in modified MRS broth containing 1% or 2% of OE. The growth of isolated LAB was inhibited by pH control with HCI to 4.3 or 3.7, the same pH of modified MRS broth containing 1% or 2% of OE. The strong growth inhibitory properties against isolated LAB were shown by fumaric and itaconic acid among various organic acids of Schizandra chinensis, such as citric acid, malic acid, lactic acid, fumaric acid, itaconic acid and acetic acid. The isolated LAB were indentified as Lactobacillus plantarum.

Purification and characterization of pectate lyase from Bacillus sp HSA-925. Bacillus sp. HSA-925 isolated from soil produced constitutively an extracellular pectate lyase when cultivated in LB broth. The pectate lyase(EC 4.2.2.2) was purified from the cuylture broth by preciptation with ammonium sulfate, followed by column chromatography on CM-cellulose C-50 and repeated gel filtration on Sephadex G-75G. The enzyme had a molecular weight of 32-33 kDa. The activity was mazimum at pH 9.5 AND 45$\CIRC $C. The enzume activity was stable at 55$\circ $C for 15 min and between pH7-12. The activation energy, Km and V$_{max}$ for the pectate lyase were 5.8779 kcal/mol, 6.33$\times $10$^{-2}$ mol/ml and 2.09$\times $10$^{2}$ $\mu $mol/min respectively. The enzyme was activated by Ca$^{2+}$, Cu$^{2+}$ and inhibited by Li$^{+}$, Hg$^{2+}$, EDTA.

High performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) analysis of mycelia of Sclerotium rolfsii grown in broth medium supplemented with garlic (Allium sativum) and onion (Allium cepa) was carried out to estimate qualitative and quantitative changes in phenolic acids. Several phenolic acids, such as gallic, chlorogenic; ferulic, o-coumaric and cinnamic acids were detected in varied amounts in mycelia grown on such media as compared to control. Phenolic acids represents a wide range of secondary metabolite found in the cells of plants and microbes including fungi. The growth characters of S. rolfsii in various supplements also varied from thin and transparent to thick and opaque.

This study designed not only to elucidate free amino acid, fatty acid composition and mineral content in dried alaska pollack but also to examine calcium, magnesium, poassium and sodium contents in its cooking broth according to each boiling time such as 2.5, 5, 10, 20, and 30 minutes. RESULTS : 1. Glutamic acid in dried alaska pollack was the most abundant free amino acid and was followed in order of aspartic acid, lysin, leucine and histidine. They composed of 50.95% of the total amino acid contents. 2. In dried alaska pollack the most abundant fatty acid was palmitic acid. Essential fatty acid content was 26.57% of the total fatty acid. 3. The calcium, magnesium, potassium and sodium contents in dried alaska pollack showed 10.721 mg%, 9.235mg%, 4072.5mg% and 2299.8% respectively. The amount of magnesium and potassium in cooking broth arrived at the highest level when 20 minute boiling was undertaken and the quantities of magnesium and sodium were the highest when 30 minute boiling was made.

Rhodospirillum rubrum KCTC 1372 produced hydrogen from glucose for first 48hrs culture under the anaerobic photosynthetic conditions, and after 48hrs culture the hydrogen production was decreased by the accumulation of producing organic acids in broth. Only 41% of glucose was consumed and 143mL/day/L hydrogen were produced after 96hrs culture. However the hydrogen production and glucose consumption were substantially increased when the pH of the culture broth were controlled to 6.8-7.2. After 96hrs culture, 450mL/day/L hydrogen were produced, and about 80% glucose was consumed. Specific hydrogen production rate was 48.33mL/hr/g cells under pH not controlled, but 45.42mL/hr/g cells under pH controlled.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the rate of adherence of bacteria on various denture relining materials and to find out the effects of chitosan, when it was added to denture relining materials. Denture relining materials such as Tokuso rebase normal $set^{(R)}$, Mild $rebaron^{(R)}$, $Kooliner^{TM}$, and New $truliner^{TM}$ were used in this study. The adherence of Streptococcus mutans was studied on the surfaces in the denture relining materials with chitosan and in those without chitosan. When chitosan was added to M17 broth and MRS broth, the viable cell count of Streptococcus mutans was reduced. The viable cell count of Streptococcus mutans on the specimens decreased in the following order : Mild rebaron, Tokuso rebase normal set, and Newtruliner and Kooliner. The deture relining materials with chitosan showed a lower rate of adherence of Streptococcus mutans than those without chitosan.

Previous studies have confirmed that fermented whey produced by Leuconostoc mesenteroides CJNU 0147 or Lactobacillus casei CJNU 0588 display bifidogenic growth stimulator (BGS) activity. The present study sought to determine if the strain itself can improve the growth of bifidobacteria in co-cultures. In reinforced clostridial medium (RCM), both strains stimulated the growth of a Bifidobacterium lactis strain during the exponential phase and also stimulated the growth during almost all growth phases in whey broth. Fermented whey containing viable Leu. mesenteroides CJNU 0147 and L. casei CJNU 0588 cells maintained viability of the B. lactis strain stored at $10^{\circ}C$ in MRS broth. Viable cell count of the B. lactis strain without the fermented whey was decreased to 5.6 log cfu/mL after 15 days, whereas that of the strain with the fermented whey was slightly increased to 7.1 log cfu/mL as compared with initial viable cell count of 6.9 log cfu/mL.
