본 실험에서는 유기재배 농가에서 사용되고 있는 액비의 특성을 과학적으로 구명하고자 발효기간 동안 액비의 화학성, 미생물상의 변화, 그리고 액비 처리가 무 생육에 미치는 효과를 조사하였다. 액비의 pH는 발효가 진행됨에 따라 7.2에서 4.3로 감소하였고 EC는 액비제조 직후 13.9 dS/m에서 계속 상승하여 70일에는 99.3 dS/m에 도달하였다. 액비내 서식하는 세균 밀도는 발효 과정 중 $8.2{\times}10^5$ cfu/ml에서 $3{\times}10^4$ cfu/ml로 감소하였으며, Bacillus 속은 제조 직후 $2.1{\times}10^2$ cfu/ml에서 $4.2{\times}10^3$ cfu/ml로 발효가 진행됨에 따라 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 액비로부터 분리한 세균은 지방산 분석을 통한 동정 결과, 발효가 진행될수록 Bacillus 유사속들이 액비내 우점하는 것을 알 수 있었으며 DGGE profile을 통해 발효과정 동안 액비내 미생물 군집의 변화를 확인하였다. 액비처리에 의한 무 유묘 생육을 살펴본 결과, 줄기보다는 뿌리 발달을 촉진하였다.

Although engineered Saccharomyces cerevisiae fermenting cellobiose is useful for the production of biofuels from cellulosic biomass, cellodextrin accumulation is one of the main problems reducing ethanol yield and productivity in cellobiose fermentation with S. cerevisiae expressing cellodextrin transporter (CDT) and intracellular β-glucosidase (GH1-1). In this study, we investigated the reason for the cellodextrin accumulation and how to alleviate its formation during cellobiose fermentation using engineered S. cerevisiae fermenting cellobiose. From the series of cellobiose fermentation using S. cerevisiae expressing only GH1-1 under several culture conditions, it was discovered that small amounts of GH1-1 were secreted and cellodextrin was generated through trans-glycosylation activity of the secreted GH1-1. As GH1-1 does not have a secretion signal peptide, non-conventional protein secretion might facilitate the secretion of GH1-1. In cellobiose fermentations with S. cerevisiae expressing only GH1-1, knockout of TLG2 gene involved in non-conventional protein secretion pathway significantly delayed cellodextrin formation by reducing the secretion of GH1-1 by more than 50%. However, in cellobiose fermentations with S. cerevisiae expressing both GH1-1 and CDT-1, TLG2 knockout did not show a significant effect on cellodextrin formation, although secretion of GH1-1 was reduced by more than 40%. These results suggest that the development of new intracellular β-glucosidase, not influenced by non-conventional protein secretion, is required for better cellobiose fermentation performances of engineered S. cerevisiae fermenting cellobiose.

The development of a yeast strain capable of fermenting mixed sugars efficiently is crucial for producing biofuels and value-added materials from cellulosic biomass. Previously, a mutant Pichia stipitis YN14 strain capable of co-fermenting xylose and cellobiose was developed through evolutionary engineering of the wild-type P. stipitis CBS6054 strain, which was incapable of co-fermenting xylose and cellobiose. In this study, through genomic and transcriptomic analyses, we sought to investigate the reasons for the improved sugar metabolic performance of the mutant YN14 strain in comparison with the parental CBS6054 strain. Unfortunately, comparative whole-genome sequencing (WGS) showed no mutation in any of the genes involved in the cellobiose metabolism between the two strains. However, comparative RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) revealed that the YN14 strain had 101.2 times and 5.9 times higher expression levels of HXT2.3 and BGL2 genes involved in cellobiose metabolism, and 6.9 times and 75.9 times lower expression levels of COX17 and SOD2.2 genes involved in respiration, respectively, compared with the CBS6054 strain. This may explain how the YN14 strain enhanced cellobiose metabolic performance and shifted the direction of cellobiose metabolic flux from respiration to fermentation in the presence of cellobiose compared with the CBS6054 strain.

This study examined the dye-properties of natural fabrics dyed with Coptis chinensis and Curcuma longa root fermented with fungi. The optimum culture conditions for the fermentation of microorganisms, the relationship between natural dye color and fermentation conditions were investigated. Two different medical herbs (ground to 80-100 mesh in size) were used as a natural dyeing source. Phellinus linteus (P. linteus), which can grow in different media, such as Agarmedium (only agar containing medium), maltose extract agar (MA) and potato dextrose extract agar (PDA) culture media, were isolated from the medium. P. linteus was confirmed to be the optimum microorganism for the fermentation of Coptis chinensis and Curcuma longa, and the MA medium was confirmed to be the best for culturing. When using the microorganism as the fermenting agent, $32^{\circ}C$ was found to be the optimum fermenting temperature for both natural colorants. Regarding the dyeing property of the fermented natural dye, silk was dyed quite darkly in an appearance by naked eye estimation and the K/S value in the color strength of silk reached a high level of 16 after the fermenting process. The washing fastness of dyed silk after treatment washing was reduced from 4 to under4 and indicates that dyed silk with fermented plant was not unsubstantial. The light fastness was 1 to 2, showing intended to maintain due to the fermentation process.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of four levels (0, 10, 20, 40 %) of sugar-beet pulp (SB pulp) supplementation to Italian ryegrass hay (IRG hay) on the fiber degradability of IRG hay in the rumen of goats. The following results were obtained: Degradabilities of DM, NDF, ADF and hemicellulose of IRG hay in the rumen increased significantly (p<0.05) by 10 % level supplementation of SB pulp to IRG hay. This was probably due to the increased numbers (p<0.05) of total viable bacteria, pectin-fermenting, xylan-fermenting and cellulolytic bacteria in the rumen in the increased supply of degradable pectic substances and hemicellulose at 10% level supplementation of SB pulp pectin. In 40% supplementation of SB pulp, ruminal pH was lowered by the fermentation of increased amount of molasses from SB pulp, resulting in the depression of growth of fiber fermenting bacteria and hence the decrease in degradabilities of cell wall fractions. It was suggested from this study that the sugar-beet pulp supplementation to forages at the level of 10% in the total diet increased fiber degradation of forage in the rumen of goats.

The objective of this study was to establish the optimum alcohol fermenting conditions for the processing of kiwi wine and vinegar products. Six yeast strains were examined for their alcohol production from kiwi at $30^{\circ}C$ for 72 hr with continuous shaking at 100 rpm. Under these conditions, Saccharomyces kluyveri DJ97 produced the highest alcohol content of 10.2%. As the fermentation time extended to 96 hr, the alcohol content reached a maximum of 12.75%. The optimum alcohol fermenting conditions for kiwi fruit were accomplished when kiwi was added to an equal amount of water, inoculated with S. kluyveri DJ97 and fermented at $30^{\circ}C$ for 96 hr with continuous shaking. The content of soluble solids decreased as the alcohol concentration increased, whereas little change was observed in the pH and titratable acidity during the low temperature aging process. Other alcoholic compounds, such as methanol, isopropanol, n-propanol, isobutanol, and isoamylalcohol, tended to increase as fermentation progressed.

In order to improve the quality of nuruk a Korean traditional fermenting agent for brewing nuruk was modified by a new method inoculating Rhizopus japonicus T2 Aspergillus oryzae L2 and hansenula sp. BC26 which had been isolated from traditional Nuruk. And the characteristics of modified Nuruk were investimgated as compared with current fermenting agents such as commercial Nuruk and rice koji of As-pergillus kawachii. The odor of modified Nuruk was savory but those of commercial Nuruk and rice koji were fetid andinodorous repectively. The extracted waters of modified Nuruk commercial Nuruk and rice koji were yellow pale yellow and colorless and showed 6.15, 6.01 and 3.30 of pH respectively. Mod-ified Nuruk had 7.6${\times}$106CFU/g of yeast but commercial uruk and rice koji had no yeast. Commercial Nuruk had 1.0${\times}$102CFU/g of lactic acid bacteria but modified Nuruk and rice koji had no lactic acid bacteria. The amylolytic and proteolytic activities of modified Nuruk were much higher than those of commercial Nuruk or rice koji. Seed mash of modified Nuruk had ester aroma but that of commercial Nuruk rather offensive odor and that of rice koji neither ester aroma or offensive odor. It seemed that if the modified Nuruk is used in seed mashing the supplement of acidulant is need to lower pH. The quality of modified Nuruk was thought to be much better than that of commercial Nuruk or rice koji.
