In order to elucidate the mechanism which regulates the production of cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase) and to achieve overproduction of CGTase by releasing catabolite (glucose) repression, several catabolite repression resistant mutants were selected from newly screened Bacillus firmus var. alkalophilus H609, after NTG (N-methyl-N -nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine) treatment, using 2-deoxyglucose as a nonmetabolizable analog of catabolite glucose and as a selection marker. Five catabolite repression resistant mutants were selected from about 30, 000 2-deoxyglucose resistant colonies. Relative catabolite repression indices of the selected mutants were in the range of 8~80% assuming 100% for parent strain. The amount of CGTase produced by the mutant strain CR41, which was 250 units/ml, was three times larger than that produced by its parent strain. The mutation seems to have occurred in the regulatory region of CGTase gene and not in the structural region or the glucose transporting system in cell membrane. The enzymatic properties of CGTase excreted from parent and mutant strains were also compared.

L-Proline-producing mutant strains were developed by exposing L-glutamic acid-producing bacteria to N-metyl-N-nitro-nitrosoguanidine and UV irradiation. A L-histidine auxotroph of Corynebacterium acetoacidophilum RYU3161(KCTC 0616BP), which was resistant to sulfaguanidine and proline analogs (DHP, AZC, TAC), was isolated. The activity of the mutant strain's $\gamma$-glutamyl kinase was 45% higher than that of the parent strain. The optimum level of L-histidine for production of L-proline was 0.16 g/l. In a 5-1 jar fermenter, the mutant strain produced L-proline at a high concentration (35 g/l) level within 48 h of cultivation.

Viomycin inhibited polypeptide biosynthesis, initiation complex formation and translocation of peptidyl-tRNA on ribosomes derived from a sensitive strain of Mycobacterium smegmatis (R-15), but not significantly on ribosomes from viomycin-resistant mutants(R-31 and R-43). The inhibition of translocation was stronger than that of initiation complex formation in the sensitive strain. The binding of [$^{14}C$] tuberactinomycin O, a viomycin analog, to ribosomal particles was studied by Millipore filter method. The sensitive ribosome exhibited higher affinity for the antibiotic than the resistant ribosomes. The resistance was localized on the large ribosomal subunit in a mutant(R-31), and on the small subunit in another mutant(R-43). The binding of the drug to the sensitive ribosomal subunit was markedly reduced by combination with the resistant pair subunit, and the entire ribosome became resistant to the antibiotic.

For the purpose of producing L-ornithine by microbial fermentation, mutant strains were developed from glutamate-producing bacteria by mutagenesis using N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (NTG) and UV irradiation. Brevibacterium ketoglutamicum BK1046, a L-citrulline auxotroph which is also resistant to arginine hydroxamate (Arghx), was isolated and selected as the best producer of L-ornithine. This strain was capable of producing L-ornithine at a concentration of 24 g/l after 69 hours of cultivation in the 21 jar fermentor. The optimum supplementary level of L-arginine, a substitute for L-citrulline, was found to be about 0.2 g/l in the shake-flask fermentation.

L-Phenylalanine을 대량생산하는 균주를 얻기 위하여 Escherichia coli K-12로부터 여러대사조절 변이주를 분리하였다. MWEC 83은 L-phenylalanine을 7.4 g/l 생산하는 tyrosine, tryptophan 이중 영양요구성 변이주이다. Tyrosine과 tryptop phan의 첨가없이 L-phenylalanine을 생산하기 위하여 MWEC 83으로부터 복기변이주 MWEC 101을 분리하였다. 또한 MWEC 101 균주로부터 여러 analog와 valine 내성주를 분리하였다. MWEC 101-5는 포도당 15%로 배양 54시간에 17.9 g/l의 L-phenylalanine을 생산하는 최고 우량균주이다. MWEC 101-5의 chorismate mutase와 prephenate dehydratase 효소환성은, 효소반응 혼합액 속에 2mM phenylalanine에 대하여 효소활성이 저해되지 않았다.

여름느타리버섯의 담자포자에 자외선을 조사하여 5'-fluoro-orotic acid(FOA) 선발배지에서 pyrimidine 영양요구성 균주를 직접 선발하였다. 24개의 5'-FOA 저항성 균주중 13개의 pyrimidine 영양요구성 균주를 선발할 수 있었으며, 이들의 mating type group과 성장속도를 측정하여 형질전환을 위한 최적의 DNA수용체를 선발할 수 있었다.
