The aim of the present research program was to develop a strain of actinomycetes producing antifungal substance. Soil samples were collected from various sites in Korea and a number of actinomycetes were isolated from the soil samples by applying selective agar for actinomycetes. Among over 440 isolates, a strain (NA-4803) producing antifungal substance against Trichophyton spp. Nannizzia otae and Pyricularia oryzae was selected. The strain NA-4803 was identified as strain similar to Streptoverticillium blastmyceticum with respect to morphological and physiological characteristics, lecithinase and lipolytic activity, degradation of organic compounds, resistance to antibiotics and utilization of carbon and nitrogen sources. But it showed some differences such as positive reaction of nitrate reduction, negative reaction of L-tyrosine degradation, resistance to cephaloridine, and utilization of I -rhamnose and inulin. The strain NA-4803 was named as Streptoverticillium sp. NA-4803.

Periconicin A and B, two new fusicoccane diterpenes originally isolated from the cultures of endophytic fungus Periconia sp. OBW-15, were tested by several biological assays. Periconicin A was consistently more active than periconicin B. In an antifungal activity assay, periconicin A showed potent inhibitory activity against the agents of human mycoses, including Candida albicans, Trichophyton mentagrophytes, and T. rubrum, with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) in the range of 3.12- 6.25 $\mug$ /ml. In a plant growth regulatory activity assay, periconicins inhibited hypocotyl elongation and root growth of Brassica campestris L. and Raphanus sativus L. At concentrations below 1 μg/ml, however, both compounds accelerated root growth by 110- 135%. From these results, it is apparent that a methyl group positioned in a cyclopentane ring may play an important role in plant and fungal growth inhibitory activity.

The actinomycete strain KH-6l4 possessed strong antifungal activity, especially antagonistic to the rice blast fungus, Pyricularia oryzae. Diaminopimelic acid (DAP) type and morphological and physiological characteristics, examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), indicated that KH-614 belonged to the genus Streptomyces. Antifungal agent produced by this strain was found to be most active, when the strain was cultured in the presence of glucose, polypeptone, and yeast extract (PY) medium for 6 days at $27^{\circ}C$. Based on the spectral report data, MS and NMR, the antifungal agent was identified as cyclo(L-leucyl-L-prolyl). According to the antimicrobial activity test measured by minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC), the cyclo(1eu-pro) exhibited the activity against Candida albicans IAM 4905, Mucor ramannianus IAM6218, Rhizoctonia solani IFO 6218, Aspergilus fumigatus ATCC 42202, Glomerella cingulata IFO 9767, Trichophton mentagrophytes ATCC 18749, and Trichophyton rubrum ATCC 44766, the order of MIC values were 50, 12.5, 5, 50, 25, 5, $5\;\mu\textrm{g}/ml$, respectively. Specifically, cyclo(1eu-pro) was one of the most effective elements against Pyricularia oryzae IFO 5994 with the MIC value of $2.5\;\mu\textrm{g}/ml$, thus indicating that cyclo(leu-pro) is a potential antifungal agent.

The biological activities of farnesoic acid derivatives against pathogenic fungi and bacteria were investigated. Farnesoic acid and its derivatives showed growth inhibitory activities against various bacteria. Among the compounds tested, geranylgeranoic acid (3) had potent antibacterial activity against Salmonella typhimurium, Proteus vulgaris, and Bacillus subtilis with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) in the range of $6.25-12.5{\mu}g/ml$. On the other hand, amide derivatives of farnesoic acid showed some antifungal activities. In particular, 3,7,11-trimethyl-dodeca-2,6,10-trienoic acid amide (5a) had a potent antifungal activity against Aspergillus niger, Candida albicans, and Trichophyton sp. with MIC in the range of $6.25-12.5{\mu}g/ml$.

병원성 미생물을 방제하기 위하여 국내의 고추 재배지에서 탄저병균에 감염된 고추로부터 Bacillus속 균주를 분리하였다. 이들 중 고추탄저병균인 C. gloeosporioides 균주와 식물에 회색곰팡이병을 일으키는 Botrytis cinerea 균주에 대한 길항작용이 가장 우수한 Bacillus sp. IUB158-03을 선발하였다. 선발된 균주의 형태적, 생리 생화학적 특성과 MicroLog 방법을 이용하여 동정된된 균주는 B. amyloliquefaciens IUB158-03로 명명하였다. 항진균물질 생산을 위한 최적배지 조건은 2% soluble starch, 3% yeast extract, 0.5% tryptone, 0.5% $NH_4H_2PO_4$, 1% NaCl의 pH 6.0에서 $25^{\circ}C$, 72시간 배양한 추출물에서 가장 높은 항진균활성을 나타내었다.

Xylanase (X) derived from Aurreobasidium pullulans and laccase-mediator system (LM) using Trichophyton sp. LKY-7 laccase (TrL) and N-hydroxy-2-pyridone analogue (NHP) as a mediator were applied in hardwood kraft pulp (HwKP) bleaching. The individual and the synergistic effects of X and LM stage were investigated in the enzymatic bleaching of HwKP. Also, the effects of subsequent alkaline extraction (E) and alkaline/hydrogen peroxide treatment (P) were examined. In X or LM treatment alone, an appreciable bleaching effect of HwKP was not observed, whereas subsequent E or P stage enhanced the increase of brightness and the decrease of kappa number. Especially, P stage significantly enhanced the bleaching effect of pulp. Bleaching of HwKP with XLM sequentially gave significantly higher pulp brightness and lower kappa number than that obtained after the treatment of HwKP with X+LM simultaneously. When HwKP was sequentially treated with XLM followed by P stage, the brightness increased by about 11% ISO and the kappa number decreased by about 3.6 in comparison with the initial pulp. Xylanase and laccase were strongly inactivated by NHP both in the absence and the presence of pulp.

A series of 6-[(N-Halophenyl)amino] -7-Bromo-5,8-quinolinediones (BQs) newly synthesized were tested for antifungal activities, in vitro, against Candida sp., Aspergillus niger and Trichophyton mentagrophytes. The MIC values were determined by the twofold dilution method. Among these derivatives, BQ4 and 7 showed more potent antifungal activities than fluconazole and ketoconazole. BQ 4 and 7 were compared with fluconazole in the treatment of established systemic infections with Candida albicans in normal rats. Intraperitoneally administered BQs for 7 days and 14 days reduced Candida albicans colony count in kidneys and livers as well as fluconazole. The therapeutic potential of BQs has been assessed by evaluating their activities (survival rate) against systemic infections in normal mice with Candida albicans. These compounds, particularly showed activities comparable with fluconazole. BQ4 and 7 had about EO$\_$50/, 0.05, 0.06mg/kg but fluconazole had ED$\_$50/, 6.0mg/kg respectively.

A series of 6-(N-arylamino)-7-alkylthio-5,8-quinolinedione derivatives(SQ1-12) were newly synthesized for the evaluation of antifungal activities. 6-(N-Arylamino)-7-chloro-5,8-quinolinediones (RCKs) were treated with Na$_2$S/(CH$_3$)$_2$SO$_2$ in EtOH In give SQs. RCKs were prepared by regioselective nucleophilic substitution of 6,7-dichloro-5,8-quinolinediones with arylamines. In the presence of CeCl$_3$, the N-arylamino groups were introduced at the 6-position of 5,8-quinolinedione ring by the regioselective substitution. These derivatives 1-12 were tested for antifungal and also antibacterial activities, in vitro, against Candida sp., Aspergillus niger and Trichophyton mentagrophytes. The MIC values were determined by the two-fold dilution method.

The anaerobically digestion and agricultural application of organic wastes was conducted using food wastes and cow dung. Twenty kilograms each of the feed stocks was added into two 30 liters-capacity batch digesters. The anaerobic digestion was carried out within a temperature range of $25-31^{\circ}C$ for a retention time of 51 days. The results showed a cumulative gas yield of 5.0 bars for food waste and no gas production for cow dung within the retention time. Bacteria such as Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Proteus vulgaris and Clostridium sp were isolated. Fungi isolated included Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus nidulan, Trichophyton rubrum and Epidermophyton flocossum. The non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) analysis of the biogas produced confirmed that the gas consisted of $CH_4$, $CO_2$ and $H_2$. Statistical analysis revealed there was no significant correlation between temperature and biogas produced from the organic wastes (r= 0.177, p = 0.483).The organic wastes from the biogas production process stimulated maize growth when compared to control (soil without organic waste) and indicated maximum height. The study therefore reveals that food waste as potential substrates for biogas production has a moderate bio-fertilizer potential for improving plant growth and yield when added to soil.
