From the soil collected from provincial area of South Korea, a microorganisms which have been shown good growth in the minimal poultry feces extract medium was isolated. Supplement of glucose to the poultry feces extract medium helped the complete uptake of soluble protein by microorganism. Uric acid in the poultry feces extract medium could be completely degraded during the microbial growth. Maximum cell growth (3.8 $\times$ 10$^{9}$ CFU/ml) obtained at 36 hours of incubation after inoculation. Uric acid was degraded faster in minimal medium than in the glucose complement medium. VFA (volatile fatty acid), which are known as major compounds of poultry feces odor, were almost removed from the minimal poultry feces extract medium. Glucose supplement to the minimal medium enhanced the growth of microbial cells. Addition of 4% of glucose and 4% of neopeptone to the minimal poultry feces extract medium helped the maximal growth of cells.

식물의 잎에 세균성 정무늬병을 야기시키는 식울 병원성균인 Pseudomonas syringae pv. tuhaci는 tabtoxin 이라는 phytotoxin 을 생성하는데 이 toxin을 미생물학적으로 간편하게 검색하는 방법플 여러가지 지시균주를 사용하여 각족 배지에서 검토하였다. Minimal A agar medium에서는 tabtoxin 검색에 Agrobactcrium tumefaces가 가장 유용한 균주였으며 minimal glucose agar m$\varepsilon$dium 에서도 역시 마찬가시의 견과를 얻였다 Complex agar medium 에서는 사용된 모든 지시균주에 대해 증식저지환이 형성되지 않아, tabtoxin이 생성되지 않음알수 있었다. 배양온도에 따른 tabtox의 생성능은 $20^{\circ}C$ 빛 $30^{\circ}C$ 에서 최적이였으며 배양시간이 경과함에 따라 tabtoxin 생성량이 증가 하였다. Glutamine을 minimal glucose agar medium에 첨가하여 tabtoxin 에 대한 지시 균주의 반응은 첨 가한 glutamine 의 양이 증가할수록 tabtoxin에 의한 생육억제가 감소함을 알 수 있었다.

A strain able to grow up m-toluate minimal medium has been isolated after selective enrichment and given the name T81X, which was later identified as pseudomonase putida according to its morphological and biochemical characteristics. After treatment with plasmied specific curing agent, mitomycin C, followed by replica plating on m-toluate and xylene minimal agar plate, T81Xstrain has been shown to harbour a curable plasmid relating to the m-toluate and xylene metabolism. Spontaneous curing frquency of this plasmid was also greatly enhanced by growing on benzoate minimal medium. After then, it was also xylene metabogrowing on benzoate minimal medium. After then, it was found to be conjugally nontransmissible. From the comparative investigation of catechol 1,2-oxygenase and catechol 2,3-oxygenase activities in wild type and cured strain on various growth substrate, it appeared that T81X strain has both of these two enzymes while cured strain has catechol 1,2-oxygenase only. Growing on m-toluate minimal medium T81X strain should carry the genetic information necessary for coding the catechol 1,2-oxygense induced by m-toluate or benzoate, on that curable plasmid.

Degradation of butylbenzyl phthalate (BBP) by the white rot fungus Pleurotus ostreatus and the activities of some degrading enzymes were examined in two different media containing 100 mg/l of the compound. P. ostreatus pre-grown for 7 days in complex YMG medium was able to completely degrade BBP within an additional 24 h but degraded only 35 mg/l of BBP in 5 days of incubation in minimal medium. Fungal cell mass in the culture in YMG medium was higher in the presence than in the absence of BBP. The esterase activity of the fungal culture in YMG medium was higher than that in minimal medium and increased with the addition of BBP. On the contrary, laccase activity was higher in minimal medium and it did not increase upon the addition of BBP. General peroxidase activity increased for a few days after the addition of BBP to both media. The degradation of BBP and its metabolites by P. ostreatus thus may be attributed mostly to esterase rather than lignin-degrading laccase. In addition, the activities of the enzymes involved in BBP degradation and their changes varied significantly in the different media and culture conditions.

Conditions for isolation of protoplasts from conidiospores of Trichoderma koningii ATCC 26113 were tested. Maximum production of conidial protoplasts was obtained by preincubation of conidiospores on liquid minimal medium for 8 1/2 hrs. and by reaction with cell wall lytic enzyme for 3 hrs. Among effective cell wall lytic enzymes (Driselase, p-Glucuronidase, Novozyme and Zymolyase), Driselase was the most effective one on the production of conidial protoplasts. The production of conidial protoplasts was also enhanced by addition of 2-Deoxy-D-Glucose $(25{\mu}g/ml)$ into liquid minimal medium. Over 70% of the initial swollen conidia, preincubated in liquid minimal medium supplemented with 2-Deoxy-D-Glucose $(25{\mu}g/ml)$, were converted to protoplasts by incubation with 2% (w/v) commercial lytic enzyme Driselase at $28^{\circ}C$ for 3 hrs. The reversion frequency of the conidial protoplasts was about 30 times (25-50%) higher than that of mycelial protoplasts (0.6-1.3%).

Glycogen plays important roles in bacteria. Its structure and storage capability have received more attention recently because of the potential correlations with environmental durability and pathogenicity. However, the low level of intracellular glycogen makes extraction and structure characterization difficult, inhibiting functional studies. Bacteria grown in regular media such as lysogeny broth and tryptic soy broth do no accumulate large amounts of glycogen. Comparative analyses of bacterial media reported in literature for glycogen-related studies revealed that there was no consistency in the recipes reported. Escherichia coli $DH5{\alpha}$ is a convenient model organism for gene manipulation studies with respect to glycogen. Additionally, M9 minimal salts medium is widely used to improve glycogen accumulation, although its composition varies. In this study, we optimized the M9 medium by adjusting the concentrations of itrogen source, tryptone, carbon source, and glucose, in order to achieve a balance between the growth rate and glycogen accumulation. Our result showed that $1{\times}M9$ minimal salts medium containing 0.4% tryptone and 0.8% glucose was a well-balanced nutrient source for enhancing the growth and glycogen storage in bacteria. This result will help future investigations related to bacterial physiology in terms of glycogen function.

Leuconostoc mesenteroides is a heterofermentative Grampositive bacterium that plays key roles in fermentation of foods such as kimchi, sauerkraut, and milk, leading to the production of various organic acids and aromatic compounds. To study the microbiological and genomic characteristics of L. mesenteroides, we have developed a new chemically defined minimal medium by using the single omission technique. During the exponential cell growth, this species required glutamine, methionine, valine, and nicotinic acid as essential nutrients and 8 amino acids (arginine, cysteine, histidine, leucine, phenylalanine, proline, threonine, and tryptophan), 5 vitamins (ascorbic acid, folic acid, inosine, calcium panthothenate, and thiamine), and others (manganese, magnesium, adenine, uracil, and Tween 80) as supplemental nutrients. This medium is useful to study the metabolic characteristics of L. mesenteroides and to explain its role in food fermentation.

E. coli (K-12 W1485) was grown in M9 minimal medium containing ginseng saponin (10-3%-2%) and found that the cells grew most rapidly in the presence of 10-1% saponin. The cells, harvested at the early exponential phase, were transferred to the minimal medium containing 10-1% saponin plus 14C-labelled saponin (0.03 ${\mu}$Ci) and the incubation was continued at 37$^{\circ}C$ for 20 minutes and the cells were fractionated into the outermembrane, innermembrane and cytosol fraction. Radioactivity data showed that the most radioactivity was detected in the innermembrane. The activity of succinate dehydrogenase of the cells grown in the above saponin medium was significantly higher than that of the cells grown in ordinary minimal medium. No significant difference of the glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity was observed between the two groups. It was also found that the saponin stimulated glucose uptake and biosynthisis of lipids and proteins of the cells. Incorporation of 14C-leucine into the protein fraction of the cell was also accelerated.

In order to assign NMR signals, conditions for the specific labeling of cytochrome $c_3$ of D. vulgaris Miyazaki F through the culture in a minimal medium were established. Phenylalanine residue was specifically deuterated at more than 85% efficiency. Cytochrome $c_3$ has two phenylalanine residues. The signals of one phenylalane were missing and this was tentatively assigned to Phe20.
