A cone type of tower fermentor loaded with flocculating Sacchromyces uvarum was used to study the fermentor performance. The performance of cone type fermentor was compared with those of other fermentors. The maximum yeast concentration in the cone type of tower fermentor was 35.9-43.0g/1.hr and the maximum ethanol productivity was 14.75g/1.hr at the dilution rate 0.26 $hr^{-1}$. The ethanol yield was 0.446-0.472g ETOH/g Glucose. It was concluded that a cone type of tower fermentor might offer better perspectives for continous etanol fermentation.

담자균류 80여종에서 laccase 고생산 균주(Fomitella fraxinea; 장수버섯)를 선발하고, F. fraxinea를 이용한 리그닌 분해효소의 생산 및 효소의 대량생산 조건을 검토하였다. 먼저 배지 조성에 따른 생산성을 조사한 결과 Cu등의 무기물의 첨가 유무에 따라 생산되는 효소가 달랐다. 무기물이 첨가되지 않은 배지(Medium I)에서는 manganese peroxidase가 생산되었고, 무기물이 첨가된 배지(Medium II)에서는 laccase가 생산되었는데 플라스크 배양 18일째에는 5.43 U/ml, 20일째에는 5.56 U/ml의 효소활성이 나타났다. 배양방법에서 영양이 충분한 조건에서는 정치배양보다는 진탕배양(120 rpm)에서 효소의 활성이 높았다. 이 균주를 이용한 laccase 대량생산 실험에는 jar fermentor, balloon type bioreactor, air-sparging fermentor를 이용하였다. laccase는 jar fermentor와 air-sparging formentor에서 3,540 U/ml(8일), 3,100 U/ml(6일)의 생산성을 나타내었다. Balloon type bioreactor는 균사의 생장은 좋았지만 효소는 생산되지 않았다. F. fraxinea를 사용하여 air-sparging fermentor로 scale up하여 laccase의 대량생산을 할 수 있다고 판단된다.

In an attempt to develop a novel process for ethanol production from starch, a simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) process using Zymomonas mobilis and amyloglucosidase (AMG) was studied in continuous modes. Compared with a conventional cylindrical column type of fermentor, the tapered column type of fermentor was found to be superior in terms of reactor performance for ethanol fermentation. The tapered columm fermentor packed with coimmobilized Z. mobilis and AMG alleviated the problems which were associated with CO2 evolution and provided a significantly better flow pattern for both liquid and gas phases in the fermentor without channelling. However, the fluidized bed type of tapered column fermentor using flocculent strain of Z. mobiles and immobilized AMG showed lower productivity (5.2g/1/h) than that of packed bed type of tapered column fermentor(9.2g/l/h).

The effects of fermentor types on biopolymer production with Cordyceps militaris has been studied in this articles. Since the shear stresses of stirred tank ferementor and bubble column fermentor were different, the mycelium growth and biopolymer production were different. The mycerial growth was high with the bubble column fermentor for the early stage but biopolymer production was lower than that with stirred tank fermentor. The production of biopolymer was closely related to shear stress to the cells and biopolymer production was increased with increased shear stress.

The current study was conducted to identify the differences in the rheological properties of Chlorella sp. powder cultured in a fermentor and in a pond-like environment. Cells. cultured in the same media were harvested and spray dried. The biomass yield from the fermentor culture was 4.7% (dry basis), while that from the pond was 4.3% (dry basis). Measurements of the loose bulk density, tapping test, Hausner's ratio, and compressibility test all revealed differences between the rheological properties of the Chlorella sp. from the two cultivation systems. Although both the fermentor and pond cultured Chlorella sp. showed the same angle of repose, the mean size of the cells was 2.26 $\mu\textrm{m}$ and 2.89 $\mu\textrm{m}$, respectively. The weight of the Chlorella sp. tablets cultured in the fermentor and pond was 0.663 g/tablet and 0.593 g/tablet, respectively, while the friability of the tablets was 21% and 41%, respectively. Observation by Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) showed that the cell wall of the Chlorella sp. cultured in the fermentor was thinner and more spherical than that cultured in the pond, thereby providing the main characteristic rheological properties of the powder.

본 연구에서는 캘리포니아 양귀비(Eschscholtzia californica) 세포를 airlift 배양기에 적용 배양할 때 shake flask 배양보다 benzophenanthridine alkaloid의 생산성이 감소하는 원인을 찾고 이를 극복하기 위한 실험을 수행하였다. Alkaloid 생산성 감소의 주된 원인은 air sparging에 의해 $CO_2$ 및 ethylene과 같은 유용 성분의 gas가 stripping 되는 것으로 나타났으며 이 stripping 되는 gas를 다시 공급하는 gas recycle 식 airlift 배양기를 개발하였다. 이 배양기에 캘리포니아 양귀비 세포를 배양한 결과 alkaloid 함량이 일반 airlift 배양기 운전 결과보다 약 2.7배 증가하였다. 또한 이 배양기의 gas reservoir의 용량 변화에 따라 alkaloid의 생산성 및 이산화탄소의 농도가 영향을 받음을 확인하였다.

In order to predict gas hold-up and oxygen transfer rate during sisomicin fermentation employing air lift fermentor, simulated media similar to fermentation broths in rheological proper- ties were prepared and used. Rheological properties of fermentation broths from 40 hours and 60 hours of cultivation were analyzed by applying to Power's Law equation. Regardless of addition and no addition of MgSO$_{4}$, the tendencies, that n value was decreased and K value was increased as aeration rate was increased, were shown. Simulated media of twelve different fermentation broths were formulated in a range of 0.7 to 2.1% CMC, and the values of gas hold-up and k$_{L}$a depending on superficial air velocity were measured using these simulated media. And the relation- ships, $\varepsilon$=$\alpha$U$_{Gr}$$\beta$, K$_{L}$a=$\gamma$U$_{Gr}$$\delta$ were obtained, and these equations are thought to be used to predict the values of gas hold-up and k$_{L}$a during fermentation.

The scale-up criterion of constant oxygen mass transfer coefficient ($k_La$) was applied for the production of itaconic acid (IA) in a 50 L pilot-scale fermentor by the fungal cells of Aspergillus terreus. Various operating conditions were examined to collect as many $k_La$ data as possible by adjusting the stirring speed and aeration rate in both 5 L and 50 L fermentor systems. In the fermentations performed with the 5 L fermentor, the highest IA production was obtained under the operating conditions of 200 rpm and 1.5 vvm. Accordingly, we intended to find out parallel agitation and aeration rates in the 50 L fermentor system, under which the $k_La$ value measured was almost identical to that ($0.02sec^{-1}$) of the 5 L system. The conditions of 180 rpm and 0.5 vvm in the 50 L system turned out to be optimal for providing almost the same volumetric amount of dissolved oxygen (DO) into the fermentor, without causing shear damage to the producing cells due to excessive agitation. Practically identical fermentation physiologies were observed in both fermentations performed under those respective operating conditions, as demonstrated by nearly the same values of volumetric ($Q_p$) and specific ($q_p$) IA production rates, IA production yield ($Y_{p/s}$), and specific growth rate (${\mu}$). Specifically, the negligible difference of the specific growth rate (${\mu}$) between the two cultures (i.e., $0.029h^{-1}$ vs. $0.031h^{-1}$) was notable, considering the fact that ${\mu}$ normally has a significant influence on $q_p$ in the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites such as itaconic acid.

치자황색소로부터 생물변환색소를 생산하기 위하여 Gram 양성 세균 7종, Gram 음성세균 4종, 효모 2종 등 총 13종의 미생물을 jar fermentor에서 배양하고 치자황색소를 첨가한 후 7일간 생물변환된 색소의 색가에 대해 조사한 결과,S. mutans MK-34에 의해 변환된 색소의 색가가 가장 높았다. 치자황색소가 jar fermentor 안에서 S. mutans MK-34에 의한 변환의 특징은 588 nm에서 새로운 흡수극대가 나타나며, 흡광도값은 배양시간이 경과함에 따라 증가하였다 S. mutans에 의한 생물변환 색소를 대상으로 광 및 온도에 대한 안정성 조사에서 치자황색소에 비해 생물변환 색소가 일광 조건 및 $60^{\circ}C$ 온도조건에서 안정성을 나타내었다.
