An automated flow injection analysis apparatus manufactured economically was used in the automatic measurement of E. col growth in shake-flask culture of nutrient broth. The detailed measurement of whole growth was possible at intervals of 10 minutes by the automatic measurement system which adopted the sterilized nutrient broth as a carrier solution. Using distilled water as a carrier solution showed less accurate results than nutrient broth.

We have investigated industrial media for lactic acid fermentation to reduce the cost of nitrogen sources. Corn steep liquor (CSL) was successfully used at 5% (v/v) in batch fermentations. Use of soluble CSL improved the productivity about 20% with an advantage of clearer fermentation broth. Yeast extract-complemented CSL improved the productivity about 20% with an advantage of clearer fermentation broth. Yeast extract-complemented CSL media further increased the increased the productivity. It was found that 3.1 g/L yeast extract and 5% CSL could be an effective substitute for 15 g/L yeast extract in 10% glucose medium. Brewing yeast was also used as a sole nitrogen source equivalent to 5% CSL. A continuous culture coupled with cell-recycle by microfiltration at the dilution rate of 0.05-0.065 h-1 led to the highest lactic acid productivity. Lactic acid was recovered by electrodialysis from the cell free broth. Depleted cell free broth supplemented with 5-10 g/L of yeast extract performed reasonably in batch and continuous cultures. Reuse of the fermentation broth may reduce the cost of raw materials as well as minimize the fermentation wastes.

A quantitative physiological approach has been employed to estimate the metabolic parameters such as specific uptake rates of nutrients and specific production rate in continuous culture of Pseudomonas elodea for gellan gum production. The estimated values of metabolic parameters are used for process improvement. During the exponential growth phase, the specific growth rate was 0.16hr-1 in batch culture. The gellan gum concentration increased up to 0.7g dry weight/100g broth and the apparent viscosity of the culture broth was about 4,500 cp.(72hrs culture). The ratio of specific uptake rate of carbon to that of nitrogen were found to be optimum at about 3.0mg-carbon/mg-nitro-gen. With the improved medium, the maximum gellan production rate, 0.6g dry weight/1/hr, was obtained at D=0.14 hr-1. The shear stresses of culture broth were fairly well correlated with shear rates by using Casson equation and at highly viscous culture broth, oxygen transfer coefficient was greatly reduced.

The culture conditions and nutritional requirements for enhanced mycelial growth of the ectomycorrhizal fungus P. tinctorius SMF were determined in flask scale experiments. Optimum culture conditions for growth of P. tinctorius SMF in a further modified Melin-Norkrans broth were as follows; temperature 25~$27^{\circ}C$, agitation 120 rpm, and pH 4.0. P. tinctorius SMF utilized various carbon sources including monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides. D-Glucose and mannitol were respectively the first and second most suitable carbon sources for mycelial growth. With D-Glucose as the principal carbon source, supplementation of modified Melin-Norkrans (MMN) broth with Lysine (800 mg/l), Glutamic Acid (500 mg/l), or Proline (50 mg/l) enhanced mycelial yields 63%, 34%, and 22% respectively as compared to growth in medium lacking amino acids. ThiaminㆍHCl＋biotin＋pyridoxine supplementation also enhanced growth. As compared to mycelial growth in the MMN medium, growth of P. tinctorius SMF was enhanced 120% in MMN broth when the carbon/nitrogen ratio was 25/1 in citrate buffer at pH 4.5, and growth was 50% greater in MMN broth of carbon/nitrogen ratio with a 10/1~20/1 without using the buffer. Standard conditions established for growth of P. tinctorius SMF in MMN broth were 25~$27^{\circ}C$, agitation 120 rpm, buffered to pH 4.0 with citrate, in MMN medium containing 10 g/l D-glucose supplemented with 800 mg/l lysine. In this medium the carbon/nitrogen ratio was 20/1~25/1, and the maximal mycelial yield ($Y_{x/s}$ ) was 0.472 (4.72 mg/ml) after 7 days of incubation, as compared to 0.214 (2.14 mg/ml), when the fungus was grown in standard MMN broth.

This study were investigated the changes in chemical components, quality characteristics of the fermented broth, and physiological functionality during fermentation period of fruit, vegetables, and medicinal herbs. pH and $^{\circ}$Bx gradually decreased and the viscosity increased. The chromaticity of L, a, and b all increased. The total number of germs dropped from $10^5{\sim}10^6\;to\;10^2{\sim}10^3$ CFU/ml, and that of lactobacilli also decreased noticeably. According to the result of the effect on fat oxidation, a very low level of TBARS was shown. After thirty days of fermentation, the amount of each fermentation broth increased more or less, but as it declined considerably after ninety days, it was found that the binding effect of $Fe^{2+}$ ion was small and insignificant. The electron donating ability, though not reaching 0.5% ascorbic acid, showed a high level of activity from $33.71{\sim}72.15%$ before fifteen days and $44.76{\sim}75.20%$ ninety days after fermentation. Among them, the fruit fermentation solution showed the highest activity. It was also found that the organic functions for each fermentation broth decreased more or less depending on the fermentation period and the thirty-days-old fermentation broth were favored most. On the basis of the above experiment results, it can be concluded that the optimum fermentation period for fruit, vegetables, and medicinal herb is thirty to ninety days.

Forty eight strains of yeast were cultured in potato dextorse(PD) broth at $30^{\circ}C$ for 24 hr and centrifuged with 12,000 rpm for 20 min. After concentrated the cultures, antihypertensive angiotensin I-converting enzyme(ACE) inhibitory activities of its concentrates were investigated. Among them, the concentrates from Saccharomyces cerevisiae Y183-3 showed the highest ACE inhibitory activity of 71.8%. The ACE inhibitor from Saccharomyces cerevisiae Y183-3 was maximally produced when Saccharomyces cerevisiae Y183-3 cultured in PD broth at $30^{\circ}C$ for 36 hr.

The fermented fruit and vegetable mixed broth was prepared by using bacteriocin-producing lactic acid bacteria to evaluate the possibility of developing isotonic beverage with anticariogenic activity. Optimum conditions were also established to produce bacteriocin by a mixed culture system consisting of Lc. lactis and Leu. mesenteroides in a fruit and vegetable mixture. Production of bacteriocin was not observed when both strains were simultaneously innoculated, but pH adjustment of the broth fermented by Leu. mesenteroides to nearneutral pH stimulated the production of bacteriocin by Lc. lactis. The concentration of sodium of the fermented broth was higher than those of commercial products. Color change of the fermented broth was not observed during storage. The fermented broth showed strong inhibitory effect against Streptococcus mutans which is an oral inhabitant with a cariogenic activity. Bacteriocin activity in the fermented broth was retained very stable for 4 weeks at 4$\^{C}$. The results indicated that bacteriocin-producing lactic acid bacteria can be used for the preparation of a Korean style thirst-quenching beverage containing bacteriocin.

The direct viable count (DVC) and plate count (PC) methods was used to measure the number of bacteria in potable groundwater samples collected from bottled water from the market, mineral water, and edible groundwater near the urban areas and the stock farming congested areas. As a result, the number of living bacteria by DVC was comprised 30~80% of the total direct count (TDC), whereas the number of living bacteria by PC was around l~30% of DVC. Such results show that viable but non-culturable (VBNC) bacteria exist in the potable groundwater with high percentages. On the other hand, upon measuring the value from the conventional nutrient broth (NB), $10^-2$ fold diluted nutrient broth (DNB), and R2A broth, the values from the DNB and R2A showed 2~50 times higher than the conventional NB medium. These results indicate that oligotrophic bacterial groups which can multiply in the low nutrient broth abundantly exist in the oligotrophic environment like potable groundwater.
