A novel control method with automatic tuning of PID controller parameters has been developed for efficient regulation of dissolved oxygen concentration in fed-batch fermentations of Escherichia coli. Agitation speed and oxygen partial pressure in the inlet gas stream were chosen to be the manipulated variables. A heuristic reasoning allowed improved tuning decisions from the supervision of control performance indices and it coule obviate the needs for process assumptions or disturbance patterns. The control input consisted of feedback and feedforword parts. The feedback part was determined by PID control and the feedforward part is determined from the feed rate. The proportional gain was updated on-line by a set of heuristics rules based on the supervision of three performance indices. These indices were output error covariance, the average value of output error, and input covariance, which were calculated on-line using a moving window. The integral and derivative time constants were determined from the period of output response. The specific growth rate was maintained at a low level to avoid acetic acid accumulation and thus to achieve a high cell density. The specific growthe rate was estimated from the carbon dioxide evolution rate. In fed-batch fermentation, the simutaneous control of dissolved oxygen concentration (at 0.2; fraction of saturated value) and specific growth rate (at 0.25$hr^{-1}$) was satisfactory for the entire culture period in spite of the changes in the feed rate and the switching of control input.

S. cerevisiae ATCC 24858을 이용한 ethanol 생산에서, aeration 효과를 ethanol 수율, specific ethanol production rate, ethanol 생산성 측면에서 분석하여, 반복 유가식 공정전략을 설계하였다. Ethanol 수율과 ethanol 생산성은 공기를 0.33 vvm 넣었을 때, 공기를 넣지 않고 배양한 것에 비하여 더 큰 값을 보였고, 24시간 마다 배지를 교체한 배양이 36시간 마다 배지를 교체한 배양 보다 더 큰 값을 보였다. 총 ethanol 생산량 값이 가장 큰 경우는 0.33 vvm의 공기를 넣고, 배지를 24시간마다 완전히 갈아주었을 때이고, 이때 가장 많은 703.8 g의 ethanol이 생산되었다.

본 연구에서 갈락토즈를 거의 사용하지 않고 glucose repression 정도가 줄어든 변이주를 이용하여 fed-batch를 통한 발현최적화를 수행하였다. 두 균주에서의 GAL promoter에 의한 외래단백질 생산시 glucose repression 정도에 대해 조사하였는데 대조구 Y2805는 글루코즈가 다 소비된 후 2∼3시간 지난 후 발현이 시작되나 변이주 Y334는 약 0.5 g/L 글루코즈 농도에서 25%정도의 발현이 이루어짐에 따라 변이주 Y334는 GAL promoter에 미치는 glucose repression 정도가 매우 약한 장점을 확인하였다. 배양 중 재조합 미생물인 두균주 변이주 Y334와 대조구 효모 Y2805의 plasmid stability에 대해 안정한 균주임을 알 수 있었으며 대조구 Y2805의 경우도 plasmid stability는 90%로 유지됨을 알 수 있었다. GAL promoter에 의한 외래 단백질 생산시 글루코즈와 갈락토즈, 에탄올의 소비속도를 조사하였는데, 글루코즈와 에탄올의 소비속도는 거의 비슷하였으나 갈락토즈 소비속도는 Y2805는 0.1232 g/L/hr/O.D.이고 변이주 Y334는 0.0131 g/L/hr/O.D. 이다. 또한 mutant Y334와 대조구 효모 Y2805의 Fed-batch 시의 올바른 feeding 방법을 구하기위한 실험을 수행하여 각 균주의 Fed-batch 실험에서의 최적 발현 방법을 획득하였다.

For mass production of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB), high cell density cultures of Ralstonia eutropha were carried out in 2.5-1 and 60-1 fermentors by two fed-batch culture techniques of nitrogen and phosphate limitation. When the nitrogen limitation technique was employed using both an on-line glucose monitoring and control system, a high concentration level of PHB (121g/l) was obtained in the small-scale fermentor of 2.5 1. However, the PHB concentration obtained in a large-scale fermentor of 60 1 only turned out to be 60g/l. In contrast, when another fed-batch culture technique of the phosphate-limitation employing dissolved oxygen (DO) stat glucose feeding was used, a large amount of PHB was successfully produced in both 60-1 and 2.5-1 fermentors. In a 2.5-1 fermentor, concentrations of PHB and cells obtained in 58 h were 175 and 210 g/l, respectively, which corresponded to the PHB productivity level of 3.02 g/l/h. In a 60-1 fermentor, a final cell concentration of 221 g/l and a PHB concentration of 180 g/l with PHB productivity level of 3.75 g/l/h were obtained in 48h. PHB content and yield from glucose were 81% and 0.38g PHB/g glucose, respectively. These data suggest that the phosphate limitation technique is more effective compared to nitrogen limitation in the mass production of PHB by R. eutropha of a large scale.

Antifreeze proteins (AFP) inhibit ice growth to permit the survival of polar organisms in the cold environments. The recombinant AFP from an Antarctic bacterium, Flavobacterium frigoris PS1, FfIBP (Flavobacterium frigoris ice-binding protein), was produced using Pichia pastoris expression system. The optimum fermentation temperature ($30^{\circ}C$) and pH (5) for FfIBP production were determined using a fed-batch culture system. The maximal cell density and purified FfIBP were 112 g/L and 70 mg/L, respectively. The thermal hysteresis (TH) activity (0.85) of FfIBP obtained using a glycerol-methanol fed-batch culture system was 2-fold higher than that of the LeIBP (Leucosporidium ice-binding protein). This work allows for large-scale production of FfIBP, which could be extended to further application studies using recombinant AFPs.

Fed-batch cultures of Hansenula polymorpha were studied to develop an efficient biosystem to produce recombinant human serum albumin (HSA). To comply with this purpose, we used a high-purity oxygen-supplying strategy to increase the viable cell density in a bioreactor and enhance the production of target protein. A mutant strain, H. polymorpha GOT7, was utilized in this study as a host strain in both 5-l and 30-l scale fermentors. To supply high-purity oxygen into a bioreactor, nearly 100% high-purity oxygen from a commercial bomb or higher than 93% oxygen available in situ from a pressure swing adsorption (PSA) oxygen generator was employed. Under the optimal fermentation of H. polymorpha with highpurity oxygen, the final cell densities and produced HSA concentrations were 24.6 g/l and 5.1 g/l in the 5-l fermentor, and 24.8 g/l and 4.5 g/l in the 30-l fermentor, respectively. These were about 2-10 times higher than those obtained in air-based fed-batch fermentations. The discrepancies between the 5-l and 30-l fermentors with air supply were presumably due to the higher contribution of surface aeration over submerged aeration in the 5-l fermentor. This study, therefore, proved the positive effect of high-purity oxygen in enhancing viable cell density as well as target recombinant protein production in microbial fermentations.

Arachidonic acid is a polyunsaturated fatty acid(PUFA) containing twenty carbon atoms with four double bonds. The family of w-6 PUFA, including arachidonic acid as well as r-linoleic acid, was served as intermediates in the formation of several key prostaglandin and leukotrienes. Several fungal strains of the genus Mortierella accumulate high amounts of arachidonic acid. In this study experiments were carried out to optimize the culture conditions for the mass production of fungus Mortierella alpina DSA -12 and lipid production with high proportion of polyunsaturated fatty acids, especially arachidonic acid. The batch culture was carried out in 500 L fermenter containing 50 g/L glucose, 18 g/L corn-steep powder and 100 mg/L MnS04 under $25^{\circ}C$, aeration rate of 0.5 vvm and agitation speed of 200 rpm without pH control. As a result, we could be obtained 22 g/L of cell mass with high contents of lipid 12.1 g/L) and arachidonic acid (5.1 g/L) The intermittent fed-batch culture was performed in the medium containing 20 g/L glucose and 10 g/L corn-steep powder. The final glucose concentration was 170 g/L and pH was maintained at 5.5 ${\sim}$ 6.0 by adding 14% ammonia solution. It was shown relatively high cell concentration (70.5 g/L) with high contents of lipid (45.8 g/L) and arachidonic acid 08.3 g/L). Therefore, when compared to batch cultures, the high concentration of arachidonic acid could be obtained by fed-batch culture using M. alpina DSA -12. These results imply that the fed-batch culture of M. alpina DSA -12 was feasible in industrial purpose and could be employed in the commercial production of arachidonic acid.

븐 연구에서는 E. coli MT201을 이용한 L-threonine 발효공정을 확립하였다. 회분식 배양에서 L-threonine생산이 균체 증식과 더불어 증가하는 증식과 연관된 형태의 생산 곡선을 보여주었다. L-Threonine 생산에 대한 조건을 확립하기 위한 유가식 배양에서 첨가배지내 최적 효모추출물과 포도당의 농도는 각각 60 g/$\ell$와 600 g/$\ell$이였으며, 약 87 g/$\ell$의 L-threonine이 생산되었다. 유가식 배양에서도 L-threonine 생산은 회분식 배양과 마찬가지로 균체량의 증가와 더불어 L-threonine 생산이 증가하는 증식과 연관된 형태를 보여주었다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 적절한 균체량의 증가와 L-threonine 생산성 향상을 위하여 L-methionine과 인산염이 추가로 공급된 첨가배지를 이용한 고농도 배양 조건이 확립되었다. 한편 고농도 배양에 따른 용존산소의 결핍을 해결하기 위하여 산소가 포함된 혼합공기를 사용하였다. 최적화된 유가식 배양 결과 균체 증식도 원활하게 증가하였으며, L-threonine의 생산도 약 98 g/$\ell$로 향상되었다. 이때 L-threonine의 생산성은 약 3.85 g/$\ell$/h이었다.
