The effects of culture broth filtrates, sugar changes and utilizationon the growth and acid production of P. freudenreichii KFCC 31227and L. acidophilus KFCC 32825 were investigated in S.G.Y.(Skim milk, glucose, yeast extract) and SMW (skin milk whey)medium by the single and mixed cultures. The growth and acid production by mixed culture and in cultured broth filtrate of the other party were more affected than those of single culture and self-cultured broth filtrate. When the two strains were cultured, P. freudenreichii KFCC 31227 utilized with lactose more than glucose and L. acidophilus KFCC 32825 was glucose more than lactose in the growth and acid production. The mixed culture of two strains was more affected to sugar utilization than single culture. This result was considered due to the synergistic effect by interaction of these two strains in mixed culture.

The study was made of the cultural condition and physiological characteristics of the symbiotic pair of microorganisms, Cellulomonas flavigena and the second organism. It also contains the results of a taxonomical study of the second organism. The results obtained wers summarized as follows : 1) Cell yield of the mixed culture, Cellulomonas and the second organism, was higher than that of each pure culture in CM-Cellulose medium. 2) The taxonomical characteristics of the second organism revealed that it probably belonged to the genus Sporocytophaga because it had a gliding motility and microcyst. 3) Optimum pH of the mixed culture was found to be in the vicinity of 7.2, and optimum temperature of the cell growth in the mixed culture was observed to be in the vicinity of 30$^{\circ}C$. 4) It was found that the majority of the population during growth in the mixed culture consisted of Cellulomonas flavigena. 5) Cellulomonas flavigena required thiamine and biotin as growth factors but Sporocytophaga sp. had no requirement of vitamins. 6) Gulucose was not found in detectable amounts in the medium of Cellulomonas flavigena but it was traced in the mixture by thin layer chromatography. 7) Sixteen amino acids were analyzed from the cell protein of Cellulomonas flavigena by amino acid autoanalyzer. The amount of the leucine, valine and arginine was very high.

Experiments were carried out to find possibility of economic production of SCP in mixed culture by Cellulomonas sp. KL-6 and E. coli LI-10. The best cell growth was obtained at the ratio of 1 : 1(v/v) in mixed culture. When these strains were mixed culture, cell growth was increased to about 63%, compared with those of single culture of strain KL-6. It was found that the majority of the population during growth in mixed culture consisted of strain KL-6. $CaCO_3$ added to the medium as the ratio of 0.1% was enhanced medium pH. Cell growth increased in that circumstances. These strains produced much amounts of cellobiose, but glucose was not detected in filter paper medium. When these organisms were cultured under the optimal medium for 4 days, cell mass was produced $1.0\;g/{\ell}$. The results showed the increase of cell mass up to 53% than those produced in CMC medium.

This study investigated on the adsorption of nonpoint pollution source using the Sand, hydroxyapatite(HAP), Zeolite and mixed culture. The adsorption of nonpoint pollution source on Sand, hydroxyapatite(HAP), Zeolite and mixed culture was investigated during a series of batch adsorption experiments. After the batch absorption experiments analysed COD, T-N, T-P on adsorption water. The experimental data was analysed using the pseudo-first-order adsorption kinetic models. Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models were tested for their applicability. The maximum adsorbed amount $(Q_{max})$ of COD were found to be sand 0.0511mg/g, HAP 0.1905mg/g, Zeolite 1.0366mg/g and Mixed media 0.7444mg/g. The maximum adsorbed amount $(Q_{max})$ of T-N were found to be sand 0.0159mg/g, HAP 0.0537mg/g, Zeolite 0.5496mg/g and Mixed media 0.1374mg/g. The maximum adsorbed amount $(Q_{max})$ of T-P were found to be sand 0.0202mg/g, HAP 0.1342mg/g, Zeolite 0.0462mg/g and Mixed media 0.1180mg/g. As a result, the mixed media was effective to remove nonpoint pollution source.

Various parameters such as solvent selection, concentration, solid/liquid ratio, soaking time, temperature, stationary, shaking conditions, and repeated extractions were investigated in order to determine the optimum extraction conditions of ${\beta}$-glucosidase from bagasse fermented by mixed culture of Aspergillus niger NRC 7A and Aspergillus oryzae NRRL 447. Among various solvents tested, non ionic detergents gave the best results than the inorganic or organic salt solutions and distilled water. The optimum conditions for extraction of ${\beta}$-glucosidase were 30 min soaking time at $40^{\circ}C$ under shaking condition at 150 rpm, with solid/liquid ratio 1:15 (w/v), which yielded $2882.74{\pm}95.52U/g$ fermented culture (g fc) of enzyme activity. With repeated washes under the above optimum conditions, the results showed that enzyme extracted in the $1^{st}$ and $2^{nd}$ washes represents about 90% of the total activity.

Lactobacillus casei IFO 3012 and Kluyveromyces fragilis(KFCC 35458) were cultured together in Soymilk to investigate the growth characteristics and the conditions suitable for acid Production. L. casei produced more amount of acid rapidly when cultured with K. fragilis in soymilk than when cultured singly. The optimum conditions for acid production by the mixed cultures of L. casei and K. fragilis were achieved with a temperature of $35-37^{\circ}C$, a 1:5-1:9(O.D 660) ratio of L. casei to K. fragilis at inoculum, a 1.0 level of sucrose fortification or a 2.0% level of skim milk powder fortification and a culture time of 24hr. Under these conditions the amounts of acid produced by the single culture of L. casei and the mixed cultures with K. fragilis were 0.31% and 0.44% in soymilk, 0.43% and 0.97%, respectively, in soymilk fortified with 1.0% level of sucrose. These indicate that the amount of acid produced by mixed cultures is about 1.42 fold greater in soymilk and about 2.26 fold greater in soymilk fortified with 1.0% level of sucrose than that produced by the single culture of L. casei. The amount of acid produced in soymilk fortified with 2.0% level of skim milk powder was 1.0 level for both of the single culture of L. casei and the mixed cultures of L. casei and K. fragilis after 24hr incubation. In soymilk fortified with skim milk power less than 1.5 the mixed culture with K. fragilis showed higher content of acid than the single culture of L. casei only.

Experiments were carried out to find the possibility of an economic production of single cell protein(SCP) in mixed culture by Cellulomonas sp. KL-6 and a second organism. The second organism, strain LI-10, was isolated from the large intestines of a mouse. 1. When these strains were mixed, cell growth and carboxymethyl cellulase (CMCase) activity were increased to about 63% and 161%, respectively compared with that of single culture of strain KL-6. We found the mixed culture as a proper method of degradation of cellulose in our study. 2. Strain LI-10 was identified as E. coli. 3. This strain produced trace amounts of cellobiose, but glucose was not found in detectable amounts in the filter paper(FP) medium. 4. $CaCO_3$ injected in the medium at the ratio of 0.1% not only enhanced cell growth but also was effective as an acid neutralizing agent. 5. When this organism was cultured under the optimal medium (glucose 0.1%, $NH_4Cl$ 0.1%, yeast extract 2.0%, $KH_2PO_4$ 0.1%, KCl 0.05%, pH 7.2 and a temperature 30$\circ$C) for 5 days, a cell mass produced 1.18 g/l. The results showed the increase of cell mass up to 300% compared to 0.28 g/l produced in CMC medium.

Some mixed culture systems consisting of koji molds and yeast were tested for the ethanol production by simultaneous saccharification and fermentation using polished rice as the substrate. Aspergillus shirousamii showed the highest ethanol production in the mixed culture with Saccharomyces cerevisiae on steamed rice added with 150 ml water in 250 ml Erlenmeyer flask. The optimum initial pH, temperature and specific surface for the ethanol production in this system were 6.5, $30^{\circ}C$, and 0.1, respectively. Under this condition, 12.9% ethanol was produced with inoculation with $5{\times}10^2$ conidia/ml of A. shirousamii and $5{\times}10^6\;cells/ml$ of S. cerevisiae in 10 days.

Distribution of archaeological sites where the rice and Itallian millets were excavated was discussed in relation to the rice culture of Yangshao era. According to the distribution of the sites where the rice and Italian millet remains were excavated, the putative border of rice growing area, Italian millet growing area and mixed-cropping area were drawn. Discussions were made about the drifting of the area of mixed-cropping, north and south, depending on the climates of archaeological eras, The climates of the eras were discussed with the various remains of animals and plants excavated from each era's sites. Examining the chronology of mixed-cropping area the extension of rice culture were traced chronologically. And the extension of rice culture towards north-east during the last period of Yangshao era, and the feasibilities of transfer to the Han-river mouth area in Korea, 5,000 aBP(about Before Present), were discussed.
