Leaf mesophyll protoplasts from five cultivars of tobacco (N. tabacum L.) were cultured. The protoplasts did not survive in culture medium containing Murashige and Skoog inorganic salts for over 6 days. NH4NO3 and FeSO4.Na2EDTA concentration of Murashige and Skoog medium were toxic in tobacco leaf mesophyll protoplast culture. Therefore we investigated optimum condition in Murashige and Skoog medium. High plating efficiency was obtained by reducing the concentrations of NH4NO3 and FeSO4.Na2EDTA to 1/3 and 1/10, respectively, on the supplemented with 5$\mu$M IAA, 0.5 $\mu$M 2.4-D 5 $\mu$M BAP. Plants were regenerated from protoplast-derived calluses.

This experiment was carried out to improve in vitro development of rabbit one-cell embryos to the blastocyst stage. One-cell rabbit embryos were collected at 19\ulcorner20hr after superovulation induction and incubated at 39\ulcorner in 5% CO2 for 72hr. In order to find optimum conditions in medium that affects the rabbit embryo's development in vitro, RDH medium which mixed with RPMI1640, DMEM and Ham's F10 was compared with the previously reported mediums (Ham's F10 and RD) for embryo development and cell numbers. Three additives (BSA, taurine and glucose) were tested for the development of rabbit one-cell embryos in vitro. When the embryos were cultured in RDH medium, their development was markedly promoted as compared with Ham's F-10 or RD alone. Glucose exhibited no significant effects on embryo development and cell numbers. BSA a, pp.ared to promote transition from morula to blastocyst stage and taurine increased cell numbers of cultured embryos markedly regardless of medium. BSA and taurine together in RDH medium showed the additive effects on embryos development and cell number.

This study was carried out to find the optimum condition for production of fusarin C, Known as a mutagenic and toxic agent. Three liquid media, Czapek-kox, MYRO, GYEP and microorganism, Fusarium moniliforme F84 isolated by Bjeldanes lab. in U.C. Berkeley, were used in this experiment. Fusarin C amounts were determined upon PH and fluctuating time/temperature. The results were obtained as follows; 1. The largest amounts of fusarin C were shown in Czapek-Dox medium and the amounts were about 1/10 of fusarin C amounts in corn culture. 2. In Czapek-Dox medium, the best condition for fusarin C production was at $28^{\circ}C$ for 2 weeks culture, and in corn culture, at $28^{\circ}C$ for l week culture. 3. The best initial PH for fusarin C production was 6.5 in Czapek-Dox medium and also at the initial pH 6.3, 5.9 the fusarin C amounts produced were much higher than other initial PH.

In this study, specific and rapid enrichment and growth conditions for the most important, classic non-O157 enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) serogroups were assessed. Three enrichment broth types, namely, EC medium with MUG broth, BRILA broth, and mTSB broth with novobiocin, were compared to identify the optimum enrichment broth for EHEC isolation. Four kinds of selective media, namely, ENDO agar, Chromocult agar, TBX agar, and CHROMagar$^{TM}$ STEC medium, were compared to identify the optimum one for non-O157 EHEC isolation. The results suggested that incubation in EC medium with MUG broth at $42^{\circ}C$ for 20 h is optimum for the enrichment of non-O157 EHEC. TBX agar was identified to have the highest specificity among the tested media. Consequently, a combination of complementary selective media according to serotype must be considered for comprehensive isolation of specific EHEC.

A potential fungal lipid producer from starch, which was identified as Muror plumbeus, was isolated from natural sources and its optimum cultivation condition for lipid production was investigated. The Mucor plumbeus FRI 0007 showed the highest felt weight and lipid content which were 2.09 $\pm$ 0.24g per 50$m\ell$ of medium and 37.43% on dry weight basis respectively after 20 days incubation on the medium containing 21% of starch as a carbon source. The urea was the best nitrogen source as compared with sodium nitrate, potassium nitrate, magnesium nitrate, ammonium nitrate and ammonium acetate and its optimum concentration was 2.14g/$\ell$, showing 2.39 $\pm$ 0.07 g felt/50$m\ell$ of medium and 50.73% lipid content on dry weight basis after 25 days incubation. Besides the starch as a carbon source and urea as a nitrogen source, the Mucor plumbeus FRI 0007 utilized ZnSO$_4$, MgSO$_4$, NaH$_2$PO$_4$, $K_2$SO$_4$and FeCl$_3$as mineral sources. However, it did not require ail the above 5 minerals in group in-dispensably for its growth and lipid accumulation. The lipid and economic coefficient of Mucor plumbeus FRI 0007 grown on the medium containing 0.44g $K_2$SO$_4$or 5.00g MgSO$_4$/$\ell$solely were 14.96 and 15.37 and 31.12 and 26.10 which was higher than those on the medium containing the above 5 minerals.

Pseudomanas fluorescens was selected from mushroom and studied in both batch and continuous culture in order to find out optimum conditions for cultivation. P. fluorescens is an aerobic bacterium and antagonistic to Pseudomonas tolaasii which causes blotch disease on the mushroom cap. Cells of P. fluorescens were grown well on medium containing 30g/L of glucose, whereas the growth was inhibited with the glucose concentration at higher than 30g/L. The highest value of specific growth rate and productivity were obtained when using 10g/L of yeast extract. Optimum concentrations of $NH_4Cl$ and $(NH_4)_2SO_4$ for culture were found to be 1.0g/L and 0.1g/L respectively. Optimum concentration of $MgSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O$ used as a sulfur source was 1.0g/L. It was also found that the cell concentrations were at the maximum level when grown on the medium containing 1.0g/L of $KH_2PO_4$ and 0.1g/L of $CaCl_2$. Also, the optimum culture conditions were $30^{\circ}C$ and pH 6.0. Cultivation of P.fluorescens at high initial dissolved oxygen (D.O) value led to a decrease of bacterial productivity in batch culture. Maximum productivity was achieved at 68 for the initial D.O value.
