This study was conducted as part of a summer Korean language and culture program at a university in Korea, aimed at examining the changes in intercultural sensitivity among American students who participated in the program, as well as the Korean students who served as their language partners. The research utilized a mixed-method approach combining qualitative and quantitative analysis. To derive research findings, pre- and post-program Intercultural Sensitivity Scale surveys were administered to participating students and semi-structured interview data were collected from a randomly selected group of six students. The research findings indicated that among a total of twenty-seven students including both American and Korean students, significant changes in intercultural sensitivity were observed in the domain of Interaction Engagement. Furthermore, fourteen American students showed significant changes in their Interaction Confidence, while the Korean students who participated as language partners did not exhibit significant changes in the five subdomains of intercultural sensitivity.

대두유의 oligosaccharide를 분해할 수 있는 S. uvarum을 이용하여 L. acidophilus와 혼합배양을 행하여 당대사의 상호작용을 검토한 결과 대두유에 glucose, fructose, galactose 등의 단당류를 첨가하여 L. acidophilus 단독배양만으로도 높은 산생성을 보여주었으며 혼합배양의 경우도 단당류를 잘 이용하였다. Sucrose가 첨가된 배지에서의 L. acidophilus의 단독배양에서는 산생성이 낮았으나 혼합배양을 했을 때는 다른 단당류만큼 증가되었다. 배양시간에 다른 soywhey의 당변화를 검토한 결과 L. acidophilus 배양에서는 당변화가 거의 없었으나 S. uvarum은 sucrose, stachyose, raffinose와 같은 oligosaccharide를 분해하고 있어 혼합배양중 oligosaccharide로부터 분해된 단당류를 L. acidophilus가 젖산 발효에 이용하는 것으로 생각되었다.

The degradation of phenanthrene, a model PAH compound, by microorganisms either in the mixed culture or individual strain, isolated from oil-contaminated soil in oil refmery vicinity sites, was examined. The effects of pH, temperature, initial concentration of phenanthrene, and the addition of carbon sources on biodegradation potential were also investigated. Results showed that soil samples collected from four oil refinery sites in Korea had different degrees of PAH contamination and different indigenous phenanthrene-degrading microorganisms. The optimal conditions for phenanthrene biodegradation were determined to be 30$^{circ}C$ and pH 7.0. A significantly positive relationship was observed between the microbial growth and the rate of phenanthrene degradation. However, the phenanthrene biodegradation capability of the mixed culture was not related to the degree of PAH contamination in soil. In low phenanthrene concentration, the growth and biodegradation rates of the mixed cultures did not increase over those of the individual strain, especially IC10. High concentration of phenanthrene inhibited the growth of microbial strains and biodegradation of phenanthrene, but was less inhibitory on the mixed culture. Finally, when non-ionic surfactants such as Brij 30 and Brij 35 were present at the level above critical micelle concentrations (CMCs), phenanthrene degradation was completely inhibited and delayed by the addition of Triton X100 and Triton N101.

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of mixed starter cultures isolated from kimchi on physicochemical properties, functionality and flavors of fermented ham. Physicochemical properties, microbial counts, shear force, cholesterol contents and volatile compounds of fermented ham were investigated during processing (curing and ripening time). Curing process for 7 d increased saltiness, however, decreased hunter color values (L, a, and b values). Ripening process for 21 d increased most parameters, such as saltiness, color values, weight loss, shear force and cholesterol content due to the drying process. The mixed starter culture had higher lactic acid bacteria than the commercial one. While eight volatile compounds were identified from fermented hams during curing process, total fiftyeight volatile compounds were identified from fermented hams during ripening process. The main volatile compounds were alcohols, esters and furans. However, no differences in volatile compounds were observed between two batches. Fermented hams (batch B) manufactured with probiotic starter culture (LPP) had higher sensory score in texture, color and overall acceptability than counterparts (batch A), while the opposite trend was observed in flavor. Therefore, mixed probiotic starter culture isolated from kimchi might be used as a starter culture to be able to replace with commercial starter culture (LK-30 plus) for the manufacture of fermented ham.

We have developed a new process for the production of new structure oligosaccharides using the mixed-culture fementation of Lipomyces starkeyi KSM22 and leuconostoc mesenteroides B-512FMCM.L.starkeyi KSM22 produces a novel DXAMase(an enzyme containing both dextranase and amylase activities). It hydrolyzes the soluble starch and dextran. The hydrolyzates were used as acceptors for dextransucrase of L.mesenteroides to synthesize the new oligosaccharides(NOS). In fermentation, as the concentration of sucrose was increased from 9%(w/v) to 15%(w/v), the yields of dextran(sum of dextran I, MW=66kD, and dextran II, MW=21kD) was increased from 12.7% to 42.5%, and NOS was increased from 3.9% to 5.2% of the theoretical, respectively. The NOS of dp(degree of polymerization) 5 and over was increased from 33.1% to 58.3% of the total NOS. The NOS showed heat resistant up to 12$0^{\circ}C$ and was stable at pHs ranged from 2 to 6. The NOS decreased the pH changes in the culture of S. mutans, and also showed inhibitory effects on the growth of S. aureus or S. typhimurium.

The biodegradation of aromatic compounds by a mixed culture GE1 was investigated in an artificial wastewater containing 250 mg/l of benzene, toluene, and phenol in semicontinuous culture. In the control group (no strains) with an aeration rate of 75 ml/l/min, 37% of phenol and 83% of benzene were volatilized during early 24 hrs and toluene was disappeared from the medium within 12 hrs. The biodegradation of benzene and toluene was effective in SB (strains + biofilm) treatment, while phenol was degraded more quickly in SG (strains + glucose) treatment including glucose as an additional carbon source. aromatic compounds added at a concentration of 250 mg/l were completely removed by SG treatment after 16 hrs or 32 hrs, respectively. The removal rate of COD was high as much as 80 mg/l/h in SG treatment during early period, but COD revealed a stable value of 116~140 mg/l after 12 hrs caused by increased biomass. Therefore, it is concluded that the mixed GE1 could be used for the wastewater treatment including aromatic compounds such as benzene, toluene, and phenol.

This research analyzes factors of family life adjustment in mixed-culture families through a focus group and individual interviews with nine mixed-culture couples eighteen people who live in city C. First, the reason that women of other cultures wants to marry Korean men is because they find it a good opportunity, as they expect that Korean husbands will take responsibility of their family. On the other hand, Korean men also expect that they would have some similarities to each other. Also, in southeastern Asian men have more freedom than women to choose an international marriage in Southeastern Asia. Second, mixed-culture couples in everyday life are affected by communication problems, cultural differences, natural environment, financial situation, male -dominant attitude, self-adjustment pressure, house-work role and financial support from their own country. Third, wives from other cultures ask for social support to adjust in Korea and make a healthy family. These women can be important, as they have their own role in the family even though they may be far from their mother in law's strong expectation in how well she can adopt Korean culture.

This study was performed to investigate the competitive effect of Leuconostoc mesenteroides and Lactobacillus plantarum on the growth and aflatoxin $B_1$ production of Aspergillus parasiticus. Leu. mesenteroides and Lac. plantarum were grown with A. parasiticus in a modified APT broth at $28^{\circ}C$ for 9 days. It was observed that the growth of A. parasiticus got lower when the two bacteria were inoculated simultaneously than when the mold grew alone. The pH of mixed culture of Leu. mesenteroides and Lac. plantarum showed significantly lower value than the pH of the pure culture of A. parasiticus (p<0.05). The acidity of the mixed culture group significantly increased compared with the control group (A. parasiticus alone group) (p<0.05). The aflatoxin $B_1$ production was significantly decreased in the mixed culture group than in the A. parasiticus alone group (p<0.05). Leu. mesenteroides showed the more efficient effect than Lac. plantarum. These results indicate that the two lactic acid bacteria have inhibitory effect on the growth and aflatoxin $B_1$ production of Aspergillus parasiticus.
