To study physiological and ecological characters of the secondary mycelia of Armillariella mellea, it was cultivated on the various media. It was grown very well on the malt extract medium compared with its growth on yeast extract medium, potato dextrose medium and Hamada medium. The temperature of $27^{\circ}C$ gave the best condition for it to grow. The highest rate of growth was shown in medium of pH 6. Heteroauxin of 5 ppm concentration showed a increase as 26.2% in growth in compared with the control group. Gibberelline 10ppm, Tomatoton of 10,000 dilution and Adoton of 5,000 dilution showed positive effect. It was shown that the use of above hormones in appropriate concentration brought the effect of growth, but overuse of them brought inhibitory effect. Under the same condition of 200ppm concentration, vitamin A gave the highest growth of 18.2% than that of the control used.

Lentinula edodes is known by oak mushroom. It has been favored as delicious and nutritious food and the low-calorie food with a high nutritional value. It is also functional food since it contains a material well-known for its medicinal benefits. Since the growth and quality of oak mushrooms are sensitively affected by environmental conditions, an adequate environmental control is very essential to improve the yield and quality under protected cultivation. The main objectives of the study were to investigate cultural characteristics of mycelial growth and in vitro fruiting of Lentinula edodes. The optimum culture media for mycelial growth of L. edodes were PDA and MYA. Similarly, optimum temperature was $25^{\circ}C$. Malt extract(2%) and yeast extract(0.2%) were optimum carbon and nitrogen sources. Optimal culture period was 110~120 days in sawdust medium. Mycelial growth in medium(61 mm/7 days) Quercus mongolica extract the most good. Among different five log types, highest mycelial growth and fruiting productivity were observed in Quercus variabilis sawdust(20.9%).

Objective: A study was conducted to determine the chemical composition of barley and co-products from barley, corn, and wheat produced in South-East Asia or Australia, and to test the hypothesis that production area or production methods can impact the chemical composition of wheat co-products. Methods: Samples included seven barley grains, two malt barley rootlets, one corn gluten feed, one corn gluten meal, one corn bran, eight wheat brans, one wheat mill mix, and four wheat pollards. All samples were analyzed for dry matter, gross energy, nitrogen, amino acids (AA), acid hydrolyzed ether extract, ash, minerals, starch, and insoluble dietary fiber and soluble dietary fiber. Malt barley rootlets and wheat co-products were also analyzed for sugars. Results: Chemical composition of barley, malt barley rootlets, and corn co-products were in general similar across countries. Wheat pollard had greater (p<0.05) concentrations of tryptophan, magnesium, and potassium compared with wheat bran, whereas wheat bran had greater (p<0.05) concentration of copper than wheat pollard. There were no differences in chemical composition between wheat bran produced in Australia and wheat bran produced in Thailand. Conclusion: Intact barley contains more starch, but fewer AA, than grain co-products. There were only few differences in the composition of wheat bran and wheat pollard, indicating that the two ingredients are similar, but with different names. However, corn gluten meal contains more protein and less fiber than corn bran.

This study was carried out to investigate the differences in malt quality between high-protein Korean malting barley and low-protein Korean malting barley. The average protein content of each area in the 1996 crops was as follows; The protein content of Doosan-29 from Jeon-Nam was 14.1% (d.b), that of Sacheon-6 from kyung-Nam was 13.4% (d.b) and that of Doosan-8 from Je-Ju was 12.8% (d.b). In the micro malting trial for high and low protein malting barley, the original protein level of the malting barley was not changed and decreased during germination days. The malt friability of high-protein malting barley was very low, but that of low-protein malting barley was high. The malt friability of high-protein malting barley was 44.5% and that of low-protein malting barley was 84.2%. In proportion to an increase of +1% (d.b) in barley protein, the fine grind extract of malt was decreased -0.86% (d.b). Economically, it was the most negative factor for high-protein Korean malting barley. The ${\beta}-glucan$ content of high-protein malting barley was higher than that of low-protein malting barley. Wort viscosity and malt color were increased and Kolbach index was decreased in high-protein malting barley. Free amino nitrogen and diastatic power for high-protein malting barley were higher than those of low-protein malting barley. They were the most positive factors for high-protein Korean malting barley.

The mycelial growths of wood-decaying mushroom strains collected from Korean forests were investigated on solid media under different culture media and temperatures. Most of strains showed the higher mycelial growth on potato dextrose agar (PDA) than malt extract agar (MEA) or sabouraud dextrose agar (SDA) plates. Except for a few strains, they grew well on PDA at $25^{\circ}C$ and showed a poor growth at low temperature ($10^{\circ}C$) than high temperature ($30^{\circ}C$). All strains showed the carboxymethylcellulase (CM-cellulase) and laccase activities on solid media containing the specific substrates for two different enzymes.

Intergeneric crosses over 34 cross combinations between genus Brassica and Raphanus were made. Ovules taken out of crossed were cultured on MS media supplemented with 1.0 mg/L GA and BA. Germination of embryo from ovule culture was not influenced by BA and GA in medium but by parental characters in its cross combination. Use of Raphanus sativus cv. Daibyosobudore and Jungkukcheongpi showed low embryo germination when they were used as male part. Cross combination with Brassica juncea as male parent showed slightly increased germination compared to other cross. These results indicated that embryo germination in ovule culture was not much influenced by casein hydrolysate, malt extract, BA, kinetin and glutamine in the medium, but parents in combination were key factor for increasing embryo germination.

For effective exopolysaccharide production and mycelial growth by a liquid culture of Fomitopsis pinicola in an air-lift bioreactor, the culture temperature, pH, carbon source, nitrogen source, and mineral source were initially investigated in a flask. The optimal temperature and pH for mycelial growth and exopolysaccharide production were $25^{\circ}C$ and 6.0, respectively. Among the various carbon sources tested, glucose was found to be the most suitable carbon source. In particular, the maximum mycelial growth and exopolysaccharide production were achieved in 4% glucose. The best nitrogen sources were yeast extract and malt extract. The optimal concentrations of yeast extract and malt extract were 0.5 and 0.1%, respectively. $K_2HPO_4\;and\;MgSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O$ were found to be the best mineral sources for mycelial growth and exopolysaccharide production. In order to investigate the effect of aeration on mycelial growth and exopolysaccharide production in an air-lift bioreactor, various aerations were tested for 8 days. The maximum mycelial growth and exopolysaccharide production were 7.9 g/l and 2.6 g/l, respectively, at 1.5 vvm of aeration. In addition, a batch culture in an air-lift bioreactor was carried out for 11 days under the optimal conditions. The maximum mycelial growth was 10.4 g/l, which was approximately 1.7-fold higher than that of basal medium. The exopolysaccharide production was increased with increased culture time. The maximum concentration of exopolysaccharide was 4.4 g/l, which was about 3.3-fold higher than that of basal medium. These results indicate that exopolysaccharide production increased in parallel with the growth of mycelium, and also show that product formation is associated with mycelial growth. The developed model in an air-lift bioreactor showed good agreement with experimental data and simulated results on mycelial growth and exopolysaccharide production in the culture of F. pinicola.

The growth rate of the A252 strain was increased in tryptic soy broth (TSB) and malt extract-yeast extract medium (ISP-2), but the antifungal activity of culture filtrate was efficient in the media of TSB and nutrient broth. The mycelial growth and the antifungal activity of culture filtrate in TSB medium were optimized at $25^{\circ}C$ and pH 6.5. The growth in 2$\%$TSB concentration was more effective than 1$\%$, but there was no difference of the antifungal activity by the TSB concentrations. The mycelial growth of A252 strain reached to maximum at 72 hr after inoculation, whereas the antifungal activity of culture filtrate was shown to have the highest level at idiophase (60 hr) after inoculation and was decreased a little after 96 hr incubation. The antifungal activity was stable in the pH range of 4 to 11 and evenly at $121^{\circ}C$. The A252 strain was characterized as Streptomyces species by the physiological properties and examination of sporophore me morphology.
