To overproduce endoxylanase from a recombinant Bacillus subtilis harboring the pJHKJ4 plasmid, the effects of carbon and nitrogen sources on the cell growth and expression level of endoxylanase were investigated in the flask cultures. Among the various carbon and nitrogen sources tested, glucose and maltose as carbon source and yeast extract as nitrogen source were found to be the most effective for the cell growth and the endoxylanase expression. When the concentration of glucose was increased from 0.5% to 5%, the highest activity of extracellular endoxylanse, 166 unit/$m\ell$, was observed at 2% glucose. In case of maltose, the endoxylanase was stably produced at the level of 180 unit/$m\ell$, regardless of the concentration of maltose. The higher the concentration of yeast extract, the greater cell growth and endoxylanase expression were obtained. However, the highest endoxylanase activity per unit cell mass was observed with 1% yeast extract. With the optimized medium (2% glucose, 1% yeast extract, etc), about 630 unit/$m\ell$ of endoxylanse was expressed through the batch fermentation in a fermentor, which expression level corresponded to about 0.7 g-endoxylanase protein /$\ell$. It was also found that the plasmid was stably maintained above 70% level, and more than 90% of endoxylanase activity was detected in the extracellular medium.

Objective: This study evaluated the supplementary effect of higher concentrations of various disaccharides on processing yield, major physicochemical properties, and sensory attributes of Chinese-style pork jerky (CSPJ). Methods: CSPJ samples were prepared by marinating sliced ham (4 mm) with three dissaccharides, including sucrose, lactose, and maltose, at 0%, 15%, 18%, 21%, and 24%. Subsequently, the CSPJ samples were dried and roasted. The moisture content, water activity, crude protein, moisture-to-protein ratio, pH, processing yield, shear force, color, and sensory attributes of the CSPJ samples were evaluated. Results: The quality characteristics of CSPJ samples prepared with sucrose were more acceptable. By contrast, CSPJ samples prepared with lactose showed the lowest scores. However, the processing yield and moisture content were the highest for CSPJ samples prepared with lactose, which may be associated with improved benefits for cost reduction. Furthermore, sucrose and lactose supplementation resulted in contrasting quality characteristics; for example, CSPJ samples with sucrose and maltose supplementation had higher sensory scores for color than samples with lactose supplementation. Additionally, most quality characteristics of CSPJ samples with sucrose supplementation contrasted with those of the samples with lactose supplementation; for example, the samples with sucrose supplementation had higher scores for sensory attributes than those with lactose supplementation. Conclusion: Sucrose supplementation up to 21% to 24% was associated with the highest overall acceptability scores (5.19 to 5.80), enhanced quality characteristics, increased processing yield, and reduced production cost.

This study aimed to optimize medium composition and culture conditions for enhancing the biomass of Lactobacillus plantarum 200655 using statistical methods. The one-factor-at-a-time (OFAT) method was used to screen the six carbon sources (glucose, sucrose, maltose, fructose, lactose, and galactose) and six nitrogen sources (peptone, tryptone, soytone, yeast extract, beef extract, and malt extract). Based on the OFAT results, six factors were selected for the Plackett-Burman design (PBD) to evaluate whether the variables had significant effects on the biomass. Maltose, yeast extract, and soytone were assessed as critical factors and therefore applied to response surface methodology (RSM). The optimal medium composition by RSM was composed of 31.29 g/l maltose, 30.27 g/l yeast extract, 39.43 g/l soytone, 5 g/l sodium acetate, 2 g/l K₂HPO₄, 1 g/l Tween 80, 0.1 g/l MgSO₄·7H₂O, and 0.05 g/l MnSO₄·H₂O, and the maximum biomass was predicted to be 3.951 g/l. Under the optimized medium, the biomass of L. plantarum 200655 was 3.845 g/l, which was similar to the predicted value and 1.58-fold higher than that of the unoptimized medium (2.429 g/l). Furthermore, the biomass increased to 4.505 g/l under optimized cultivation conditions. For lab-scale bioreactor validation, batch fermentation was conducted with a 5-L bioreactor containing 3.5 L of optimized medium. As a result, the highest yield of biomass (5.866 g/l) was obtained after 18 h of incubation at 30℃, pH 6.5, and 200 rpm. In conclusion, mass production by L. plantarum 200655 could be enhanced to obtain higher yields than that in MRS medium

A novel Chryseobacterium sp. JK1 strain producing extracellular protease had been isolated from soil. The largest clear zones were observed on nutrient agar plates supplemented with 1% skim milk at $30-35^{\circ}C$ along with the growth of Chryseobacterium sp. JK1. The cell growth of JK1 strain was maximal at 24 h and maximum protease activity was reached up to 560 unit/ml at the stationary phase in liquid culture. In the presence of maltose, glucose or mannitol in Nutrient broth, cells grew well, but protease were produced poorly with lower production yields of 64-77% than in NB broth only. Similarly, the addition of skim milk, beef extract, yeast extract, malt extract or tryptone showed good growth and poor enzyme production. On the contrary, the addition of $(NH_4)_2HPO_4$ or $(NH_4)_2SO_4$ gave poor growth and good enzyme production of 121-146%.

The effect of nutritional and cultural conditions for the production of anti-complementary polysaccharide from Pleurotus sajor-caju was studied. Maximum anti-complementary activity from its culture broth and mycelium was obtained by using lactose and maltose as a carbon source, respectively. Ammonium phosphate (monobasic) and serine were chosen for the highest activity among the inorganic nitrogen compounds and amino acids tested. Optimum temperature for the production of the anti-complementary polysaccharide was $25^{\circ}C$.

The isolated strain, SC2-1 was Gram-positive, catalase positive, facultatively anaerobic, oxidase negative, motile and small rods. The strain utilized sucrose, dextrose, fructose, mannitol and maltose as a sole carbon and energy source and sodium chloride required for the bacteria growth. The radical scavenging activity of the culture supernatants was determined by DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) method. This bacterium was identified based on cellular fatty acids analysis and 16S rDNA sequencing then named Exiguobacterium sp. SC2-1. The optimum culture conditions for production of antioxidant were $25^{\circ}C,$ pH 7.8 and NaCl concentration were 4%. The modified optimal medium compositions were maltose 2.5% (w/v), yeast extract 1.5% (w/v) and $KH_2PO_4$ 0.05% (w/v). Free radical scavenging activity of under optimal culture conditions were 93%.

To produce sweet liquor without artificial sweeteners, 8 traditional rice pre-treatment methods (juk, beombeok, seolgitteok, gumeongtteok, mulsongpyeon, injeolmi, gaetteok, and godubap) were analyzed in this study. The formation of sugars with the help of ${\alpha}$-amylase, ${\beta}$-amylase, and glucoamylase using nuruk as a substrate has been previously confirmed. During the early stages of the pre-treatment processes, the amount of maltose produced (in descending order of its concentration) by ${\alpha}$-amylase was observed to be as follows: gaetteok > seolgitteok > beombeok > mulsongpyeon > juk > injeolmi > gumeongtteok > godubap. However, changes in maltose concentrations with respect to the pre-treatment processes after 48 hours were observed to be as follows: injeolmi > beombeok = godubap > gumeongtteok > gaetteok = mulsongpyeon > seolgitteok > juk. Maltose produced using either ${\alpha}$-amylase or ${\beta}$-amylase showed similar results. Glucoamylase produced 10 mg/ml of glucose during the godubap process, which was the highest amount of glucose among all the methods. Moreover, when ${\alpha}$-amylase, ${\beta}$-amylase, and glucoamylase were used concurrently, glucoamylase increased glucose production in the later stages. Therefore, the possibility of producing sweet liquor without employing artificial sweeteners was confirmed, even if the amount of sugar in the liquor varied with the pre-treatment process.

The production of doxorubicin by a mutant of Streptomyces peucetius subsp. caesius was studied. The optimal culture conditions, such as inoculum size and medium composition were established to improve the productivity of doxorubicin. The optimal medium composition was found to be 4% maltose, 0.5% HEPES, 0.02% $K_2HPO_4$, 0.01% $MgSO_4$. As an antiform agent, 0.001% KG(10% Adekanol+10% Silicone) was suitable one among various agents. Culture was carried out in 2.5 L jar-fermenter with different aeration rates of 1.5, 1.0, and 1.5 v/v min. The maximum production of doxorubicin(29 mg/l) was obtained at 1.5 v/v min of aeration rate, and even at 1.0 v/v min, the production of doxorubicin was increased up to 15% compared with that of shake-flask culture.
