In an attempt to test experimental condition of preparing grape powder, grapes having less commercial value was used and tried. With drying method, spray and freeze drying were satisfactory to produce power. Moisture content and odor retention were better by the latter method. Three grape strains stored for 40 days contained more odors than those stored for 5 days. Maltose 90% plus dextrin 10% was suitable for drying support. To increase odror sense, citric acid and vitamin C can be added up to 0.1 and 0.2%, respectively. Considering these conditions, grape complex powder prapared from grape powder 20% comprising drying support, glucose 79.7%, citric acid 0.1%, vitamin C 0.2% with freeze drying was the best by overall evaluation including sensory test. When campbell and neomuscut were mixed by 15:5 or 10:10, sensory evaluation was also ameliorated.

A strain producing $\alpha$-1, 3-glucanase was isolated from soil samples. The strain has a grey aerial mycelium and showed brown color from the other side. The temperature and pH range for growth were from 10$\circ$C to 42$\circ$C and from 4 to 10, respectively. Arabinose, dextrin and mannose were utilized for growth. Analysis of cell wall components revealed that the strain was classified as type I. From the results, the strain was identified as Streptomyces sp. By using this strain, the maximum production of 0.65 units/ml for $\alpha$-1, 3-glucanase was achieved at 37$\circ$C for 48 hrs.

This study was carried out to obtain the basic data on artificial culture of Hohenbuehelia petaloides. The optimum medium are glucose peptone medium (GP), Hennerberg medium, Phellinus igniarius medium (PIM), Lentinus edodes medium (LEM), Czapek dox medium. The optimum condition for the mycelial growth was $30^{\circ}C$ and pH 6.0. The carbon sources such as dextrine, fructose and lactose were favorable to mycelial growth. The optimal concentrations of carbon sources are 10% dextrin and fructose. As nitrogen sources, tryptone, casamino acid and histidine appeared to be favorable. The optimal concentrations of nitrogen sources are 1% soy tone and 0.3% ammonium nitrate. The optimal concentration of yeast extract is 0.4%. The mineral nutrients of $KH_2PO_4$, $K_2HPO_4\;and\;MgSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O$ were effective and the optimal concentrations were 0.046, 0.1 and 0.05%, respectively.

Coriolus versicolor, is one of the most popular medicinal mushrooms due its various biologically active components. This study was conducted to obtain basic information regarding the mycelial culture conditions of C. versicolor. Based on the culture, and MCM media were suitable for the mycelial growth of the mushroom. The optimum carbon and nitrogen sources were dextrin and yeast extract, respectively, and the optimum C/N ratio was 10 to 2 when 2% glucose was used. Other minor components required for optimal growth included thiamine-HCl and biotin as vitamins, succinic acid, lactic acid and citric acid as organic acids, as well as $MgSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O$ as mineral salts.

Isolates of Ophiocordyceps heteropoda (Kobayasi) collected from Mt. Halla on Jeju-do, Korea were tested for mycelial growth on different agar media and in the presence of different carbon and nitrogen sources. Similarly, isolates were also incubated at different temperatures as well as under continuous light and dark conditions. Growth was better on Hamada agar, basal medium, and malt-yeast agar, but poor on Czapek-Dox agar. Different carbon sources such as dextrin, saccharose, starch, lactose, maltose, fructose, and dextrose resulted in better growth. Complex organic nitrogen sources such as yeast extract and peptone revealed the most effective growth. Mycelial growth was best at $25^{\circ}C$. The growth rate was faster in the dark than the light, but mycelial density was less compact in the dark.

We identified juvenile hormone binding protein (JHBP) from last instar larval hemollvnph of Hvphantria cunea using gel filtration and non-SDS PAGE. Two kinds of JHBP in hemollnnph were found at two peaks by gel filtration (Sephadex G-100) and also at Rm values of 0.13 and 0.57 by non-SDS PAGE. JHBP was partially purified using anion exchange chromatosraphv, preparative gel filteration, and preparative PAGE. Dextrin coated charcoal (DCC) binding assay was employed to monitor the location of JHBP in chromatographic profile during the purification process. Purity of JHBP was checked by silver staining of 1091 SDS-Polyacrvlamide.

The level of oxidative tissue damage caused by free radicals generated from ethanol oxidation was determined in the myocardium of chronic ethanol fed-rats and the protective action of various radical scavenging enzymes was monitored, also. Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were given ethanol in an amount of 36% of total calories via Lieber-DeCarli liquid diet for 6 weeks. Control group was pair-fed with the diet containing isocaloric amount of dextrin-maltose instead of ethanol. Chronic ethanol administration resulted in the increased amount of myocardial thiobarbituric acid reactive substance(TBARS), th parameter of lipid peroxidation, under our experimental condition. Chronic ethanol ingestion did not cause any change in activities of either glutathione peroxidase or glutathione reductase and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase were decreased after ethanol treatment. Therefore, chronic ethanol administration seemed to cause considerble changes in cellular defense function against oxidative tissue damage in rat myocardium through glutathione utilizing system and radical generation system. However the ultimate net result of chronic ethanol inestion on the myocardium of rat was the oxidative tissue damage revealed by increased TBARS content.

The effects of cobalt chloride, methionine, and various carbon sources on the sisomicin production by M. inyoensis NRRL 3292 were investigated. It was found that both cobalt chloride and methionine exerted a greater stimulatory effect on sisomicin formation. Kinetic studies with various carbon sources revealed thai polysaccharide such as starch or dextrin was found io be better than glucose for sisomicin production Moreover, the relatively low concentration of dissolved carbon dioxide was one of the most important factors In accelerating sisomicin production during idiophase.

Purified preparation of .betha.-amylase is obtained from radish root by the means of fractional precipitation with ammonium sulfate. Purified preparation saccharifies the starch, .betha.-maltose being formed. Dextrinization in the true sense does not take place. Hydrolysis ceases when approximately 50% of the theoretical yield of maltose is obtained and there remains a substance (to be .betha.-limit dextrin) which gives a blue-violet with iodine, no glucose being formed. Stability of preparation is optimal at pH 4-9 and more completely inactivated at 65.deg. in fifteen minutes. .betha.-Amylase of radish exhibits optimal activity at and near pH 5.0, which varied depending upon the buffer. Calcium and chloride ions do not effect the activities of enzyme. The results of experiments with oxidizing, alkylating and mercaptide-forming reagents which have been reported to be specific for sulfhydryl groups confirm that free sulfhydryl groups are essential to the activity of .betha.-amylase from radish.

Most of the Cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (Gtases) which have been produced from B. subtilis were found to be excreted from the cells during cultivation. Immobilized whole cell CGTase from B. subtilis was prepared by encapsulating the broth solution which had been concentrated ten times with a rotary vacuum evaporator. Cyclization activity of CGTase was reduced by about 10% during the concentrating process, however, its transglycosylation activity, to convert xylitol to glucosyl-xylitol, using dextrin as glucosyl donor, increased by a factor of 3 or 5.
