Forty yeast strains isolated from soils taken from different locations in Egypt were tested for their P-solubilizing activities on the basis of analyzing the clear zone around colonies growing on a tricalcium phosphate medium after incubation for 5 days at $25^{\circ}C$, denoted as the solubilization index (SI). Nine isolates that exhibited P-solubilization potential with an SI ranging from 1.19 to 2.76 were genetically characterized as five yeasts belonging to the genus Saccharomyces cerevisiae and four non-Saccharomyces, based on a PCR analysis of the ITS1-26S region amplied by SC1/SC2 species-specific primers. The highest P-solubilization efficiency was demonstrated by isolate PSY- 4, which was identified as Saccharomyces cerevisiae by a sequence analysis of the variable D1/D2 domain of the 26S rDNA. The effects of single and mixed inoculations with yeast PSY-4 and Bacillus polymyxa on the P-uptake and growth of corn were tested in a greenhouse experiment using different levels of a phosphorus chemical fertilizer (50, 100, and 200 kg/ha super phosphate 15.5% $P_2O_5$). The results showed that inoculating the corn with yeast PSY-4 or B. polymyxa caused significant increases in the shoot and root dry weights and P-uptake in the shoots and roots. The P-fertilization level also had a significant influence on the shoot and root dry weights and P-uptake in the shoots and roots when increasing the P-level from 50 up to 200 kg/ha. Dual inoculation with yeast strain PSY-4 and B. polymyxa at a P-fertilization level of 200 kg/ha gave higher values for the shoot and root dry weights and P-uptake in the shoots and roots, yet these increases were nonsignificant when compared with dual inoculation with yeast strain PSY-4 and B. polymyxa at a P-fertilization level of 100 kg/ha. The best increases were obtained from dual inoculation with yeast strain PSY-4 and B. polymyxa at a P-fertilization level of 100 kg/ha, which induced the following percentage increases in the shoot and root dry weights, and P-uptake in the shoots and roots; 16.22%, 46.92%, 10.09%, and 31.07%, respectively, when compared with the uninoculated control (fertilized with 100 kg/ha).

Makgeolli, also known as Takju, is a non-filtered traditional Korean alcoholic beverage that contains various floating matter, including yeast cells, which contributes to its high physiological functionality. In the present study, we assessed the levels of ${\beta}$-glucan and glutathione in various yeast strains isolated from traditional Korean Nuruk and selected a ${\beta}$-glucan- and glutathione-rich yeast strain to add value to Makgeolli by enhancing its physiological functionality through increased levels of these compounds. Yeast ${\beta}$-glucan levels ranged from 6.26% to 32.69% (dry basis) and were strongly species-dependent. Dried Saccharomyces cerevisiae isolated from Nuruk contained $25.53{\mu}g/mg$ glutathione, $0.70{\mu}g/mg$ oxidized glutathione, and $11.69{\mu}g/g$ and $47.85{\mu}g/g$ spermidine and L-ornithine monohydrochloride, respectively. To produce functional Makgeolli, a ${\beta}$-glucan- and glutathione-rich yeast strain was selected in a screening analysis. Makgeolli fermented with the selected yeast strain contained higher ${\beta}$-glucan and glutathione levels than commercial Makgeolli. Using the selected yeast strain to produce Makgeolli with high ${\beta}$-glucan and glutathione content may enable the production of functional Makgeolli.

The red yeast Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous (previously named Phaffia rhodozyma) produces astaxanthin pigment among many carotenoids. The mutant X. dendrorhous G276 was isolated by chemical mutagenesis. The mutant produced about 2.0 mg of carotenoid per g of yeast cell dry weight and 8.0 mg/L of carotenoid after 5 days batch culture with YM media; in comparison, the parent strain produced 0.66 mg/g of yeast cell dry weight and a carotenoid concentration of 4.5 mg/L. We characterized the utilization of carbon sources by the mutant strain and screened various edible plant extracts to enhance the carotenoid production. The addition of Perilla frutescens (final concentration, 5%) or Allium fistulosum extracts (final concentration, 1%) enhanced the pigment production to about 32 mg/L. In a batch fermentor, addition of Perilla frutescens extract reduced the cultivation time by two days compared to control (no extract), which usually required five-day incubation to fully produce astaxanthin. The results suggest that plant extracts such as Perilla frutescens can effectively enhance astaxanthin production.

참다래로 만든 'Hayward' 와인 제조에 적합한 효모 선발을 위해서 3종의 효모에 의한 발효과정에서의 물리화학적 특성 변화를 조사 분석하였다. 사용된 효모는 Saccharomyces cerevisiae Gervin No.5 strain (GVN), S. bayanus Lavin strain EC1118 (EC1118), 그리고 S. cerevisiae Red star Davis No.796 (No.796)은 와인 발효에 가장 적합하여 상업적으로 이용되고 있는 효모이다. 이 세 효모에 의해 발효된 샘플의 당도 함량은 비슷하게 감소하였으나, 알코올 생산량만 발효 첫 주에 큰 차이가 있었다. 효모중 GVN이 13.8%로 알콜농도가 가장 높았고, 반면에 No.796과 EC1118은 각각13.0%와 12.5%로 상대적으로 알콜함량이 낮았다. 관능평가에서 GVN은 높은 산과 높은 알콜함량을 가지고 있고, 강한 풍미와 쓴맛을 가진 것으로 평가되었다. No.796은 GVN과 유사하지만 낮은 알콜함량과 함께 단맛이 있었다. EC1118은 높은 풍미, 단맛과 낮은 알콜함량으로 부드러운 맛으로 평가되었다. EC1118에 의해 발효된 와인 의 총페놀과 항산화 활성은 다른 효모보다 높았다. 따라서 본 연구에서EC1118이 최적의 효모로 선발되었다. 다른 2종의 효모를 사용한 참다래 발효 와인은 각각 다른 품질 특성을 나타내었다. EC1118효모는 참다래 발효에 가장 바람직한 특성을 가지고 있었다. 이러한 특성은 주로 총페놀과 항산화 활성과 같은 건강기능성과 높은 관능적 기호도를 가지고 있었다.

Medium components for lactic acid production were optimized with a strain of Lactobacillus sp., isolated by our Lab. Nitrogen source was the key component and manganese ion was also important for lactic acid production in this strain. Optimal concentration of manganese ion was 0.03 g/l as MnSO$_{4}$ 4 - 5 H$_{2}$O base. Other mineral elements, however, had little effect on it. Among the nitrogen sources we examined, yeast extract showed the highest productivity. Yeast extract, the exellent but very expensive medium component, could be partially replaced by soytone until 60% dry base with higher productivity, or by tryptone enforced with vitamines and nucleic acids. In order to replace yeast extract completely, we examined several inexpensive nitrogen sources and their enzymatic hydrolyzates. The hydrolyzate of vital wheat gluten was the best of them.

RNA accumulating strain of Torulopsis versatilis MT-1 was cultured in molasses medium for higher contents of RNA in cell. Yeast cells were harvested at logarithmic phase on synchronous culture. Yield of cells on dry base to input sugar was 59.5%. Crude protein content was 55.1% in cell. RNA content was 13.9%. Some problems found in the process for the preparation of yeast extracts were improved by the addition of culture broth of Streptomyces faecalis MSF which secrete RNase (5' nuclease and 5' adenylic acid deaminase). When the culture broth of S. faecalis MSF was added in autolysis process 46% of RNA in cell was converted to I and G(5' inosinic acid and 5' guanylic acid) in extract. By addition of 3-7% culture broth of S.faecalis MSF in autolysis or enzymolysis process at the start or early stage, RNA in extract was converted easily to I and G and protein in cells was easily extracted and hydrolyzed to amino acid. Taste of those yeast extracts was delicious. The yeasty smell in yeast extracts was removed. And cell debris was easily removed from extract.

Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain M. was cultured in a molasses-containing media with different amounts of phosphorous and nitrogen sources. The effects of constituents of the cell on the functional activity as well as sensitivity of it were investigated, the results obtained being summarised as follows : Both the thermotolerance and dry tolerance of the yeast cell were higher when the more carbohydrate and thehalose were present in the yeast cell. During the drying, the rate of dead cell was noted increasing and the fermentability decreasing, but it was more remarkable at early stage of the decreasing rate of drying, and at the same time increasing rate of dead cell and decrease of fermentability were more remarkable in the yeast cell containing much protein. In this case the speed of drying was slower. The trehalose content in the yeast cell increased during early stage of the drying and this increase was higher when content of trehalose and carbohydrate in the initial yeast cell was relatively high.

The distribution of methanol-assimilating yeasts on three different sources (elm bark, soil and fresh-water mud) and the growth conditions of a new strain of Candidaboidinii (SIO) wereexamines. From 150 samples, 91 methanol yeasts were isolated through enrichment culture ; they were identified as 77 strains of Candida boidinii including four new strains, 5 isolates of Torulopsis pinus, 3 strains of Hansenula polymorpha and one sstrain of Pichia pastoris respectively. The comparison of these yeasts with three sources indicated that decaying bark of elm tree other two, and that Gandida boidinii was most frequently distributed in all three sources. Four new strains of Candida boidinii were freshly isolated and their taxonomical properties were discussed. Of them, SIO strain was selected and characterized for its growth on methanol. This yeast could grow well on less than 1%(v/v) methanol. However, its growth was inhibited at 10% methanol. The cell yield was 3.1g (dry weight) per 1000ml of mineral mediurr, containing 1%(v/v) methanol as well as 01.% yeast extract as additive. The concentration of 0.1% yeast extract appears to be effective for the biomass production. Optimum conditions for growth on methanol was found to be : $28^{\circ}C,\;NH_4^+$ as nitrogen sources, thiamine as vitamin, and pH 4.5 to 6.0. The cell composition was as follows : crude protein and nucleic acids were 54% and 7% respectively. The amino acids were also described.
