When cultivated aerobically, Aspergillus niger hyphae produced extracellular glucoamylase, which catalyzes the saccharification of unliquified potato starch into glucose, but not when grown under anaerobic conditions. The $K_m\;and\;V_{max}$ of the extracellular glucoamylase were 652.3 mg/l of starch and 253.3 mg/l/min of glucose, respectively. In mixed culture of A. niger and Saccharomyces cerevisiae, oxygen had a negative influence on the alcohol fermentation of yeast, but activated fungal growth. Therefore, oxygen is a critical factor for ethanol production in the mixed culture, and its generation through electrolysis of water in an electrochemical bioreactor needs to be optimized for ethanol production from starch by coculture of fungal hyphae and yeast cells. By applying pulsed electric fields (PEF) into the electrochemical bioreactor, ethanol production from starch improved significantly: Ethanol produced from 50 g/l potato starch by a mixed culture of A. niger and S. cerevisiae was about 5 g/l in a conventional bioreactor, but was 9 g/l in 5 volts of PEF and about 19 g/l in 4 volts of PEF for 5 days.

When the cells of yeast K35 were immobilized in Ca-alginate gel, cell concentration and viability decreased as alginate concentration increased. Considering the results, 2% (w/v) Ca-alginate concentration would be suitable. Among various concentrations of additives and cross-lin-king agent, the addition of 1.67% (w/v) of bentonite together with 0.33% (v/v) of glutaraldehyde (ABG bead) resulted in the highest ethanol production of 1.8%(w/v), using YPD medium containing 2% glucose. ABG bead seemed to be more resistant to phosphate ion than Ca-alginate bead. 0.33%(w/v) of phosphate was a proper concentration for the ethanol production by ABG bead. Scanning electron microscopic observation depicted that the immobilized cells on the bead surface were coated by alginate gel and that the cells in the internal bead were cross-linked with alginate matrix. When repeated-batch culture was performed with ABG bead for 40 days in a packed-bed reactor, ethanol concentration of about 90~110 g/l-gel was maintained. Cell viability was maintained around 70%, and outgrowing cell concentration was below 6.3% of total cell concentration. Consequently, the results showed that ABG head was a potential carrier for continuous production of ethanol compared to conventional Ca-alginate bead.

Lenzites betulinus, known as gilled polypore belongs to Basidiomycota was isolated from fruiting body on broadleaf dead trees. It was found that the mycelia of white rot fungus Lenzites betulinus IUM 5468 produced ethanol from various sugars, including glucose, mannose, galactose, and cellobiose with a yield of 0.38, 0.26, 0.07, and 0.26 g of ethanol per gram of sugar consumed, respectively. This fungus relatively exhibited a good ethanol production from xylose at 0.26 g of ethanol per gram of sugar consumed. However, the ethanol conversion rate of arabinose was relatively low (at 0.07 g of ethanol per gram sugar). L. betulinus was capable of producing ethanol directly from rice straw and corn stalks at 0.22 g and 0.16 g of ethanol per gram of substrates, respectively, when this fungus was cultured in a basal medium containing 20 g/L rice straw or corn stalks. These results indicate that L. betulinus can produce ethanol efficiently from glucose, mannose, and cellobiose and produce ethanol very poorly from galactose and arabinose. Therefore, it is suggested that this fungus can ferment ethanol from various sugars and hydrolyze cellulosic materials to sugars and convert them to ethanol simultaneously.

We investigated the effect of inhibitory compounds derived lignocellulosic hydrolysates on cell growth, sugar consumption and ethanol productivity, and also we intended to identify the potential for ethanol production based on lignocellulosic hydrolysates. Cell growth and ethanol production in the presence of acetate were initiated after 12 hr. Furans showed a longer lag time and phenolics showed a significant effect on strain and ethanol production in comparison to other model compounds. In the case of lignocellulosic hydrolysates, the acetate strongly affected cell growth and ethanol production.

Alcoholic hepatitis is a leading cause of liver failure in which the increased production of tumor necrosis factor ${\alpha}$ (TNF${\alpha}$) plays a critical role in progression of alcoholic liver disease. In the present study, we investigated the effects of cilostazol, a selective inhibitor of type III phosphodiesterase on ethanol-mediated TNF${\alpha}$ production in vitro and $in$ $vivo$, and the effect of cilostazol was compared with that of pentoxifylline, which is currently used in clinical trial. RAW264.7 murine macrophages were pretreated with ethanol in the presence or absence of cilostazol then, stimulated with lipopolysacchride (LPS). Cilostazol significantly suppressed the level of LPS-stimulated TNF${\alpha}$ mRNA and protein with a similar degree to that by pentoxifylline. Cilostazol increased the basal AMP- activated protein kinase (AMPK) activity as well as normalized the decreased AMPK by LPS. AICAR, an AMPK activator and db-cAMP also significantly decreased TNF${\alpha}$ production in RAW264.7 cells, but cilostazol did not affect the levels of intracellular cAMP and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. The $in$ $vivo$ effect of cilostazol was examined using ethanol binge drinking (6 g/kg) mice model. TNF${\alpha}$ mRNA and protein decreased in liver from ethanol gavaged mice compared to that from control mice. Pretreatment of mice with cilostazol or pentoxifylline further reduced the TNF${\alpha}$ production in liver. These results demonstrated that cilostazol effectively decrease the ethanol-mediated TNF${\alpha}$ production both in murine macrophage and in liver from binge drinking mice and AMPK may be responsible for the inhibition of TNF${\alpha}$ production by cilostazol.

Objectives : Angelicae Gigantis Radix has been known traditional medicine with antimicrobial activities and it has been widely used for treatment of blood and inflammatory diseases. In the present study, some studies examined anti-inflammation effects of Angelicae Gigantis Radix but they usually were performed by ethanol extracted Angelicae Gigantis Radix pharmacopuncture. So We investigated the inhibitory effects of Angelicae Gigantis Radix pharmacopuncture by hot water and ethanol extract on Nitric oxide(NO) and Prostaglandin $E_2$($PGE_2$) production in lipopolysaccharide(LPS) induced macrophage cell. Methods : Angelicae Gigantis Radix was extracted by ethanol and hot water. Cell viability was determined by MTT assay. To evaluate anti-inflammation effects of Angelicae Gigantis Radix pharmacopuncture, we examined NO and $PGE_2$ production in LPS induced macrophages. The concentrations of NO and $PGE_2$ were measured by Griess assay and Enzyme Immuno-Assay. Results : 1) The MTT assay demonstrated that cytotoxic effect of Angelicae Gigantis Radix pharmacopuncture by hot water extract and ethanol extract in RAW 264.7 macrophage cells were not appeared. 2) Angelicae Gigantis Radix pharmacopuncture by ethanol extract and hot water extract inhibited NO production in LPS induced macrophages significantly. 3) Angelicae Gigantis Radix pharmacopuncture by ethanol extract tended to inhibiting $PGE_2$ production in LPS induced macrophages. And Angelicae Gigantis Radix pharmacopuncture by hot water extract inhibited LPS induced production of $PGE_2$ in RAW 264.7 macrophage cells significantly. Conclusions : This study suggests that Angelicae Gigantis Radix pharmacopuncture may have an anti-inflammatory property through the inhibition of NO and $PGE_2$ production in LPS induced macrophages. It may have a therapeutic potential for the treatment of various inflammatory diseases.

The fermentative characteristics in ethanol production from lactose, with increased ethanol tolerance, of a fusant yeast strain constructed by protoplast fusion of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Kluyveromyces fragilis were studied. The ethanol tolerance of this strain was increased to 8.0%, compared with the parent K. fragilis. During batch ethanol fermentation the optimal cultivation conditions for this fusant yeast were an initial pH of 4.5, a culture temperature $30^\circ{C}$. stirring at 100 rpm without aeration in 10% lactose medium (supplied with 1.0% yeast extract). Using this fusant strain in whey fermentation to ethanol, maximum ethanol production reached 3.41% (w/v) (theoretical yield; 66.7%) after a 48 hour cultivation period.

Candida parapsilosis KFCC-10875를 사용하여 xylose와 glucose가 xylitol 생산에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. Xylose만 50 g/l 함유하는 배지에서 배양하면 xylitol만 생성되었고 xylose에 glucose를 첨가하여 배양하면 부산물로 ethanol과 glycerol이 생성되었다. Glucose 함량이 높을수록 xylitol 생성량은 감소하였지만 ethanol과 glycerol의 양은 증가하여 xylose 10 g/l와 glucose 40/l일 때 최대값 각각 21.5 /l, 3.6 g/l의 최대값을 나타내었다. Glucose에서는 xylitol이 생성되지 못하기 때문에 glucose만 존재하는 배지에서는 xylitol이 전혀 생성되지 않았다. Xylose에 대한 glucose의 비율을 증가시키며 배양한 결과 glucose 비율이 높을수록 이용된 xylose에 대한 생성된 xylitol의 수율이 감소하였다. 첨가하는 ethanol의 농도를 변화시키면서 배양한 결과 첨가된 ethanol의 농도가 증가할수록 xylose에 대한 생성된 xylitol의 생산이 감소하였고 부산물을 제거한 후 배양할 경우 xylitol생산이 저해되지 않았다. 이것은 xylose에 대한 생성된 xylitol의 수율이 ethanol가 같은 부산물에 의한 것이라는 것을 의미한다. Xylose 또는 glucose에서 성장한 균체를 약 20 g/l로 농축하여 xylose 50g/l가 포함된 발효배지에 접종하여 배양하였다. Glucose에서 성장한 균체를 사용한 xylitol 생산에서 xylose reductase와 xylitol dehydrogenase의 총역가는 농축균체를 사용하지 않는 일반 배양의 그것과 거의 비슷하였다. 그러나, xylose에서 성장한 농축균체를 사용한 발효에서의 xylose reductase의 역가와 xylitol dehydrogenase의 역가는 비교적 높게 나타나 일반배양의 역가와 비슷하였다. 그러므로 xylitol 생산성은 균체농도를 증가시킬수록 비례적으로 증가하여 xylose에서 성장한 농축균체로 발효시간 18시간에 50 g/l의 xylose로부터 40 g/l의 xylitol을 얻을 수 있었다.
