To isolate a nonylphenol (NP)-degrading bacterium, we isolated a single colony from the NP-degrading microbial consortium SW-3, which was previously isolated from an aqueous environment. Ten colonies that exhibited different cell morphologies were isolated and the strains were named SW-3-A, -B, -C, -D, -E, -F1, -F2, -G, -H, and -I. The ability of isolates to degrade NP was evaluated by kinetic analysis by the constant of NP degradation rate ($k_1$) and the half-life time of NP degradation ($t_{1/2}$). SW-3-F1, -F2, -G, and -I strains were superior at degrading NP. The $k_1$ and $t_{1/2}$ values of the four strains were sixfold higher and one-sixth lower, respectively, than those of the consortium strain. Additionally, SW-3-F1, -G, and -I strains were tested for their ability to degrade NP during coculture. NP degradation by coculture with a combination of all three strains was inferior to that of culture conducted with single isolates, suggesting that the three strains are antagonistic toward each other during NP degradation.

The strain of Serratia marcescens QM B1466 produces selectively large amount of chitinolytic enzymes (about 1mg/L medium). Enzymatic hydrolysis of chitin to N-acetyl-${\beta}$-D-glucosamine (NAG) was performed with a system consisting of two hydrolases (chitinase and chitobiase) produced by optimization of a microbial host consuming chitin particles. For the development of Large-scale biological process for the production of NAG from chitinaceous waste, the selection and optimization of a microbial host, particle size of crab/shrimp chitin sources and initial induction time using chitin as a sole carbon source on chitinase/chitobiase production and NAG production were examined. Crab-shell chitin(1.5%) treated by dilute acid and , ball-milled with a normal diameter less than 250m gave the highest chitinase activity over a 7 days culture. Crude chitinase/ chitobiase solution obtained in a 10 L fed-batch fermentation showed a maximum activities of 23.6 U/mL and 5.1 U/mL, respectively with a feeding time of 3 hrs, near pH 8.5 at 30$^{\circ}C$.

오미자차액은 여름철의 음료나 화채의 기액으로서 많이 사용하고 있는데, 그 열매는 산을 많이 함유하고 있어 pH가 낮아(2.8-3.0) 미생물의 성장을 효과적으로 저해할 수 있는 pH를 가지나 $25^{\circ}C$에 저장했을 때 부패가 일어나는 것이 확인되었고 부패균은 곰팡이와 효모이었으며 세균은 관찰되지 않았다. 저장 중 부패되고 있는 오미자차액의 적정산도나 pH에는 그다지 큰 변화가 없었고 열매를 걸러낸 오미자차액에서의 적정산도는 열매가 들어있는 오미자차액보다 낮았는데, 그 이유는 열매가 들어 있는 오미자차액의 열매에서 산이 계속 용출되어 나왔기 때문으로 판단된다. 열매를 거른 오미자차액의 부패가 열매가 들어 있는 오미자차액보다 조금 빠르며 그 저장성도 열매를 거른 오미자차액이 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 오미자차액의 색상과 맛의 효과로서는 걸러서 보관하되 장기적인 저장은 바람직하지 못하다.

In order to obtain acetaminophen, a popular analgesic-antipyretic, through microbial p-hydroxylation and N-acetylation of aniline, various fungi and bacteria were secreened. Among them, Streptomyces species were chosen for strain improvement by the use of interspecific protoplast fusion technique. Two interspecific fused strains were developed between S. rimosus (N-cetylation function) and S. aureofaciens (p-hydroxylation function) and also between S. lividans and S. globisporus. For efficient protoplast fusion and cell wall regeneration, various conditions were examined. In a typical experiment of mixed S rimosus ($pro^- \;his^-$) and S. aureofaciens ($ilv^-$) protoplasts with 40% (w/v) polythylene glycol 3350 (PEG) for 3 min gave $8.3\times10^{-7}$ of fusion frequency. Treatment of mixed S. lividans (pant-) and S. globisporus (leu-) protoplasts with 50% (w/v) PEG for 3 min at $30^\circ{C}$ gave $1.2\times10^{-6}$ of frequency. Among the fused strains, up to 40-50% increase in p-hydroxylation power was observed. To investigate the possibility of plasmid involvement in p-hydroxylation power was observed. To investigate the possibility of plasmid involvement in p-hydroxylation of acetanilide, plasmid curing was attempted. We found that cells treated with acriflavine (at the frequency of 100%) and cells regenerated from protoplsts of S. auroefaciens (2% frequency) lost their p-hydroxylation function.

The major purpose of the present study is to syrvey vegetables, meats, seafoods, processed foods and imported foods for the presence of Listeria spp. and to prevent listeriosis caused by the contamination of Listeria monocytogenes. Listeria spp. was not found in vegetables and processed foods. The optimum growth condition of isolates indentified as Listeria monocytogenes was pH 7.0 and 37$^{\circ}C$. the antimicrobial effect of grapefruit seed extract(GFSE) was observed in the level of more than 100ppm by disk method. When 1ml(2.5$\times$106 CFU/ml) of Listeria monocytogenes was inoculated and incubated for 3 days at 3$0^{\circ}C$, the total cell number of the organism was 4.5$\times$109 in the control, 7.2$\times$103 in 100 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml of GFSE medium, and 3.5 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml of GFSE medium. Direct visualization of microbial cells by using both transmission electron microscope and scanning electron microscope showed microbial cell membrane the function of which was destroyed by treating with the dilute solutions of GFSE. It could be confirmed that GFSE completely inhibited the growth of the test strain of Listeria monocytogenes.

The revolution in molecular biology has given us greatly increased ability to obtain and to modify biological resources and to use them for the benefit of all humankind. The sequencing and the associated analysis of gene functions for a growing number of genomes will have an unprecedented effect on the uses of biological resources and the need for access to them. To investigate the diversity of microbial community in swamp, molecular systematic methods were applied. By amplified rDNA restriction analysis (ARDRA) and rDNA partial sequence analysis, $75\%$ of the isolates were known species. In case of uncultured analysis, almost all the selected clones were new species candidate. Especially archea and uncultured bacterial analyses, all clones were new taxon candidates. As for the eukaryotic diversity, several yeast form cultures were isolated from various samples of swamp. Among them, about $60\%$ of the isolates were easily identified. In case of a new species candidate, most strain were included in hymenomycetal yeasts.

In this study, we tested possibility of replacing nitrite salts, which were always added during the meat product processing, with the metabolites produced by antimicrobial and red pigment producing Monascus strains. We have already shown that Monascus No. 116 strain has the highest antimicrobial activity among the strains isolated from Ang-Khak. Monascus isolate No. 229 was chosen due to its outstanding red pigment producing ability. The red pigment production by No. 229 was highest in the medium containing 8% sucrose, 2% yeast extract, 0.1% K2HPO4, 0.5% MgSO4. Optimum pH and temperature for the red pigment production were pH 6.2 and 3$0^{\circ}C$, was found in spot or Rf value 0.54 on TLC plate using ethyl acetate-acetone-water (4:4:1, v/v/v) as development solvent system. Isolate No. 116 and No. 229 were cultured in a optimal condition for the antimicrobial activity and red pigmentation. The culture concentrates were applied in situ to the production of instantly processed ham. Mixed application of 89 ppm Na-nitrite and 300 ppm of culture broth concentrate of Monascus isolate No. 116 and 500 ppm of red color produced by Monascus isolate No. 229 showed similar results with the single application of 94 ppm Na-nitrite. These results confirmed that the antimicrobial activity and red pigment of Monascus strains might be valuable to replace Na-nitrite salt in meat processing.

The present study was planned to analyze the nutritional quality, microbial counts and fermentative acids in Italian ryegrass (IRG) 80% and alfalfa 20% (IRG-HV) mediated silage inoculated with lactic acid bacteria (LAB) as a probiotic strain for 3 months. Crude protein (CP), acid detergent fiber (ADF), and neutral detergent fiber (NDF), total digestible nutrient (TDN) and In-vitro dry matter digestibility (IVDMD), lactic acid bacteria (LAB), yeast and fungi counts and fermentation metabolites such as lactic acid, acetic acid and butyric acids were analyzed. The result shows that the nutritional quality and metabolite profiles of silage were significantly improved with LAB. For microbial counts, LAB showed dominant followed by yeast as compared with control silage. The pH of the silage also reduced significantly when silage inoculated with LAB. The result confirmed that silage preparation using different crops with L. plantarum inoculation is most beneficial for the farmers.
