In order to develop of support medla for bloom reactor, physicochemical properties and attachability of surface of activated carbon, clay mineral, non-clay mineral, and waste mold sand were enamined. Measured physicochemical properties of materials were surface roughness, mean particle size, surface area, hydrophobicity, and surface charge. At a tested materials, activated carbon was the best attachable material and microorganisms were attached $20.1{\times}10^7CFU/cm^2$ at surface, compared with diatomaceous earth which were attached of $9.2{\times}10^7CFU/cm^2$ in our research, surface area and hydrophobicity show- ed more Influence than any other factor on attachment of microorganisms.

To produce acetoin as a precursor of the tetramethylpyrazine flavor compound from citrate by Lactococcus lactis ssp. lactis biovar. diacetilactis FC1, fermentation factors such as inital pH of culture media, temperature, concentration of Na-citrate, thiamin-HC1 and sugars were examined. The best acetoin production was achieved with initial pH in the culture media of 5.5, fermentation temperature of $34^{\circ}C$, Na-citrate concentration of 3%, addition of thiamin-HC1 at 2 mg/l and galactose as a carbon source. When fermentation was carried out under the optimum conditions, the exhaustion of Na-citrate and the production of acetoin took simultaneously and acetoin reached the maximum content, 80 mmole/l after 20 hours.

To investigate the optimum conditions for the production of ammonia as a precursor of tetramethylpyrazine flavor compound from arginine by Lactococcus lactis ssp. lactis biovar. diacetilactis FC1, fermentation factors such as initial pH of culture media, fermentation temperature, concentration of arginine-HC1, and sugars were examined. The optimum conditions were initial pH 5.5 of the culture media, fermentation temperature of $34^{\circ}C$, 6% (w/v) of arginine-HC1, and 1% (w/v) of galactose as a carbon source. Under the optimum fermentation conditions, 40 mmole/l of ammonia was produced after 40 h.

It is proposed the polyacrylamide gel, instead of agar, could be used for the solid cultures of microorganisms including Streptomyces strains. Polymerization and gellation of 5% acrylamide solution were done by autoclaving for 5 min at 121.deg.C and no hindered by the addition of nutrient-rich media. In particular, pH buffer solution suitable for corresponding microorganisms must be used in the preparation of culture media. Comparing with agar, it was discussed that polycrylamide gel had many advantages such as gellation within the wide range of strong acid Carbon and Nitrogen sources, requirement tests of growth factors and minerals, sterization at high temperature, diffusion assays of products depending on the pore size of gel, and stability and standarization of microbial cultures.

Hexavalent chromium in aqueous solutions was successfully removed via sorption and reduction in the presence of waste leaves. Cr(VI) removal followed a first-order reaction, and removal rates were proportional to the amount of waste leaves used in the tests. Most of Cr(VI) were removed via sorption in early stages of the tests, but the reduction reaction played a significant role in Cr(VI) removal later. Solution pHs were continuously decreased due to the microbial activity, which was induced from the microorganisms attached on waste leaves. The decreased solution pHs further enhanced the sorption and reduction of Cr(VI). To characterize the microorganisms found in the tests, a denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) method was used. The majority of microorganisms were composed of Bacillus sp. which can reduce Cr(VI). Thus, waste leaves can be effective reactive media for the treatment of Cr(VI) in the subsurface.

Xylanase is an industrially relevant enzyme used for the production of xylobiose and xylose. Various methods are used to enhance the microbial yield of xylanase. In the present study, co-culturing of Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus pumilus were investigated using submerged fermentation for xylanase production, which was markedly increased when sal, sagwan, newspaper, wheat bran, and xylan were used as single carbon sources. Maximum xylanase production was reported after 5 days of incubation in optimized media at pH 7.0 and 37℃, resulting in 2.69 ± 0.25 µmol/min by coculture. The 1:1 ratio of sal and sagwan in optimized production media was shown to be suitable for xylanase synthesis in submerged fermentation (SMF). In comparison to mono-culture using B. pumilus and B. subtilis, co-culturing resulted in an overall 3.8-fold and 2.15-fold increase in xylanase production, respectively.

Phytoestrogenic S-equol production in human gut exclusively depends on the biotransformation of daidzein to dihydrodaidzein (DHD). With a growing demand for the DHD enriched biomaterials, the commercial soybean hypocotyl extract (SHE) was chosen as a substrate for the microbial DHD production by human gut bacterium MRG-1, anaerobic DHD producer. To optimize the production of DHD, anaerobic fermentation conditions, including sterilization time, growth stage of inoculum, and growth media, were investigated. Maximum DHD production (1.2 g/L) was achieved after 48 h incubation when 1% (w/v) of SHE in the 20-min-sterilized Gifu Anaeboic Medium media was inoculated with OD₆₀₀ 0.3-0.4 of MRG-1. This is the first report that crude soy biomaterial, instead of pure compounds, such as daidzin and daidzein, is utilized for the production of the DHD enriched biomaterial.

To find antitumor components from higher fungi, the mycelia of Collybia confluens (Pers. ex Fr.) Kummer were cultured in artificial media. For efficient production of the mycelia, the influences of various modifications of culture conditions were examined. A water-soluble protein-bound polysaccharide fraction, Fr. A, was obtained from the mycelia by hot water extraction. When Fr. A was purified and fractionated by DEAE-cellulose and Sepbadex G-200 gel filtration chromatographies into four fractions which were designated B, C, C-I and C-II. The tumor inhibition ratios of these fractions ranged from 46% to 75% against the solid forms of sarcoma 180 in ICR mice at doses of 20 and 50 mg/kg/day when given intraperitoneally. Especially, Fr. C which was named Collyban(CB) exhibited a marked life-prolonging effect of the mice against ascitic forms of sarcoma 180 at a dose of 50 mg via i.p. administration. To extend spectra of the antitumor activities and eliminate the effects of allograft rejection, the characterization of antitumor effects of CB was performed in syngeneic host-tumor systems. It did not show any antitumor activity against L1210 murine leukemia in $CD_2Fl$ mice but prolonged their life span against ascitic forms of $MM_{46}$ carcinoma in $C_3H/He$ mice. Also it exhibited antitumor activity against human cervical cancer HeLa cells that were xenografted into nude mice having BALB/c genetic backgrounds by the i.p. injection at a dose of 100 mg/kg/day. In order to characterize the antitumor components, CB was examined by chemical analysis. It was acidic protein-bound polysaccharides composed of 31% polysaccharide, 27% protein and 3% hexosamine. CB was fractionated into two fractions, Fr. C-I(M.W.: 500 Kd) and Fr. C-II(M.W.:30 and 8 Kd) by Sephadex G-200 gel filtration chromatography.

본 연구는 제주 연안에서 채집한 오분자기(Sulculus diversicolor supertexta)를 구성하는 미생물 군집의 다양성을 알아보기 위하여 근육, 장, 생식소 각 부위별로 조사하였다. 배지로 1차 순수 분리한 결과 근육은 MA, 장 1% BHIA, 생식소 1% TSA에서 각각 최대 군락 계수가 나타났다. 16S rRNA sequence로 표준 균주와 비교 유사도 분석 결과 총 190개의 순수 colony가 분리되었다. NBLAST program 분석 결과 크게 5문 25과 39속 71종으로 나타났다. 표준 균주와 상동성은 91-100%를 나타냈다. 오분자기 내 미생물 군집은 크게 Probacteria (Gamma-proteobacteria, Alpha-proteobacteria) 48%, Actinobacteria 32.5%, Firmicutes 16.9%, Bacteroide 1.3%, Deinococcus-thermus 1.3%로 나타났다. 근육, 장, 생식소 모든 부위에서 Moraxellaceae과 Psychrobacter cibarius가 우점하였다. 근육, 장, 생식소 모든 부위에서 Alteromonadaceae, Enterobacteriaceae, Pasturellaceae, Moraxellaceae, Rhodobacteraceae, Geminicoccaceae, Dietziaceae, Intrasporangiaceae, Microbacteriaceae, Micrococcaceae, Micromonosporaceae, Streptomycetaceae, Aerococcaceae, Bacillaceae, Paenibacillaceae, Planococcaceae, Staphylcoccaceae가 공통적으로 분리되었으며, 장에서 Flavobacteriaceae, Corynebacteriaceae, Yesiniaceae, Vibrionaceae, Hahellaceae, Pseudomonadaceae가 추가 분리되었다. 분리 균주로부터 인체 유해 질병 세균에 대한 항균활성 모니터링 결과 Sterptomyces albus (96%)가 4균주 모두 항균활성을 보였고 Agrococcus baldri (99%), Psychrobacter nivimaris (99%)가 E. coli, E. aerogens에 대한 항균활성을 나타냈다. 그 외 상동성이 낮은 일부 균주가 분리되어 신균주 실험을 비롯한 항균활성물질 정제 등 추가 실험이 필요한 것으로 사료된다. 본 실험은 오분자기 미생물 군집의 다양성과 유전학적 자원을 확보하는데 의의를 두며, 응용 미생물의 개발 가능성에 있어 기초 자료를 제공하고자 하였다.
