Background: To obtain useful cosmetic resources, this study aimed to determine the non-saponin fatty acid and inhibitory activities of collagenase and elastase by treatment of Saccharomyces cerevisiae in supercritical fluid extracted oil of the adventitious root culture of wild mountain ginseng. Methods and Results: We performed supercritical fluid extraction at various conditions such as pressure, temperature, time, and use of co-solvents, unlike the n-hexane extraction for the adventitious roots culture of wild mountain ginseng. The non-saponin-fatty acid obtained from the oil of the adventitious roots culture was incresed by treatment with S. cerevisiae. The supercritical fluid extraction was conducted using gas chromatography. Non-saponin-fatty acid content, in the oil of adventitious roots culture of wild mountain ginseng treated with S. cerevisiae for 2 days were three times higher than that in the control. In addition, the oil of the adventitious roots culture treated with S. cerevisiae was investigated for the anti-wrinkle effect by using collagenase and elastase. The oil of adventitious roots culture treated with S. cerevisiae exhibited higher collagenase and elastase inhibitory activities than those in the control. Conclusions: Supercritical fluid extracted oil of the adventitious roots culture of wild mountain ginseng treated with S. cerevisiae was found to have decreased ratio of saturated fatty acids and incresed ratio and content of unsaturated fatty acids increased. Furthermore, it showed anti-wrinkle effects in vitro.

During the Brewing of Soy Sauce on an industrial scale, Saccharomyces rouxii $T_9$ was cultured and added to the soy sauce mash. The comparative experiments of soy sauce mash in non-addition and addition group of yeast were examined in this report. The yeast flora and chemical composition of Soy sauce mash through out the brewing were observed and the results obtained were as follows. (1) The number of Osmophilic yeast in one ml of soy sauce mash showed $185{\times}10^3$ 1 month after mashing and $750{\times}10^3$ 4 months after mashing in case of yeast group, while presented as $98{\times}10^3$ 1 month after mashing and $394{\times}10^3$ 4 months after mashing in case of non-yeast group. And the number of Osmphilic yeast in yeast group was twice of that in non-yeast group. (2) The number of ordinary yeast of TTC red group was shown as $2132{\times}10^3\;to\;3252 ×10^3$ 5 to 6 months after mashing in case of yeast group, while presented $752{\times}10^3\;to\;1251{\times}10^3$ in case of non-yeast group. And the yeast group was shown more than non-yeast group in ordinary, red pink and pink yeast number. (3) TTC red yeast were strongly appeared in both addition and non-addition group of yeast from 1 month after mashing to 6 months after mashing. (4) Though total nitrogen, pure extract, pH and buffer action contents of soy sauce showed similiar tendency in yeast and non-yeast group, alcohol and color density contents were highly appeared in yeast group and reducing sugar content was in non-yeast group respectively. (5) By the results of Organic function test of soy sauce mash, the difference of taste quality in yeast and non-yeast group were not evidently appeared, however, the appearance and flavour of the soy sauce were better in yeast group than in non-yeast group.

High voltage pulsed electric fields (PEF) treatment is a promising non-thermal processing technology that can replace or partially substitute for thermal processes. The aim of this research was to investigate the microbial inactivation mechanisms by PEF treatment in terms of physiological changes to Saccharomyces cerevisiae. PEF was applied at the electric field strength of 50 kV/cm, treatment time of 56 ${\mu}s$ and temperature of $40^{\circ}C$. The microbial cells treated with PEF showed loss of salt tolerance on the cell membrane and collapse of the relative pH gradient on in-out of cells. Cell death or injury resulted from the breakdown of homeostasis, decreased $H^+$-ATPase activity, and loss of glycolysis activity.

To study the effect of iron on Saccharomyces cerevisiae, whole-cell proteins of Saccharomyces cerevisiae were extracted and subjected to two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (2D-PAGE), and differentially expressed proteins were identified. The proteins separated were further identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry and were compared with a protein database. Of more than 300 spots separated by molecular weight and isoelectric points, 27 differentially expressed spots were identified. Ten proteins were found to be differentially expressed at high iron concentration. Triosephosphate isomerase (TPI), YDR533C hypothetical protein, superoxide dismutase (SOD), 60 kDa heat-shock protein (HSP60), pyruvate dehydrogenase beta subunit 1 (PDB1), and old yellow enzyme 2 (OYE2) were upregulated, whereas thiol-specific antioxidant (TSA), regulatory particle non-ATPase subunit 8 (RPN8), thiol-specific peroxiredoxin 1 (AHP1), and fructose-1, 6-bisphosphate adolase (FBA) were downregulated by iron. Based on the result, we propose that SOD upregulated by iron would protect the yeast from oxidative stress by iron, and that TSA downregulated by iron would render cells hypersensitive to oxidative stress.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of yeast addition as starter on kimchi fermentation. The strains used as starter were Saccharomyces sp. YK-17 and Saccharomyces fermentati YK-19 isolated from kimchi, grew under anaerobic condition and low temperature, which showed the acid and base resistances. Chemical and microfloral changes, as well as the sensory properties of starter added kimchi during fermentation were compared with the control fermented without starter. The acidity of kimchi juice was lower and pH was higher in starter added kimchi than the control. Particularly addition of S. fermentati YK-19 prolonged the optimally fermented period (pH 4.0, acidity $0.6{\sim}0.8%$) up to more than 63%. The content of lactic acid, the major non-volatile organic acid in kimchi, was increased rapidly followed by S. sp. YK-17 and S. fermentati YK-19 group. The microfloral changes were found a little different among the samples. Among the microorganisms, Leuconostoc sp. and Lactobacillus sp. showed highest change, and Streptococcus sp. and Pediococcus sp. showed ralatively low change. The growth of Lactobacillus sp. which was the main acidifing microorganism was inhibited by starter addition, particularly by S. fermentati YK-19. The sensory characteristics of acidic and moldy flavor were significantly reduced by the addition, while fresh flavor was increased in starter added group.

$Pb^{2+}$ removal capacity and initial $Pb^{2+}$ removal rate were compared between non-biomaterials (granular activated carbon, powdered activated carbon, ion exchange resin, zeolite) and biomaterials (activated sludge, Aureobasidium pullulans, Saccharomyces cerevisiae). The $Pb^{2+}$ removal capacity of biomaterials were greater than that of non-biomaterials, generally. The $Pb^{2+}$ removal capacities of non-biomaterials and biomaterials were shown on the order of ion exchange resin ＞ zeolite ＞ granular activated carbon ＞ powdered activated carbon and A. pullulans ＞ S. cerevisiae ＞ activated sludge, respectively. In the initial $Pb^{2+}$ removal rate, the non-biomaterials showed powdered activated carbon ＞ granular activated carbon ＞ zeolite ＞ ion exchange resin and the biomaterials showed A. pullulans ＞ activated sludge ＞ S. cerevisiae. Comparing the $Pb^{2+}$ removal capacity and initial $Pb^{2+}$ removal rate of activated sludge with those of other non-biomaterials and biomaterials, activated sludge may have an availability on the removal of heavy metal ions by the economical and pratical aspects.

During meiosis, genetic recombinants are formed by homologous recombination accompanying with the programmed double-strand breaks (DSBs) and strand exchanges between homologous chromosomes. The mechanism is generated by recombination intermediates such as single-end invasions (SEIs) and double-Holliday junctions (dHJs), and followed by crossover (CO) or non-crossover (NCO) products. Our study was focused on the analysis of meiotic recombination intermediates (DSBs, SEIs, and dHJs) and final recombination products (CO and NCO). We identified these meiotic recombination intermediates using DNA physical analysis under HIS4LEU2 "hot spot" system in budding yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae. For DNA physical analysis, when the hot spot locus is recognized by restriction enzyme from synchronous meiotic cells, the fragmented DNA that are forming recombination intermediates can be detected and quantified through Southern hybridization analysis. Our study suggests that this system can analyze the structural change of recombination intermediates during DSB-SEI transition, double-Holiday junctions and crossover/non-crossover products in meiosis.

The objective of this study was to evaluate a feed additives used mainly in lactating cow diets in transient pregrent cow diets. The study was conducted as a completely randomized design with forty Holstein pregnant cows to determine the effect of feeding Aspergillus oryzae(T2), Saccharomyces cerevisiae mixture(T3) and enzyme(cellulase, xylanase) - releasing chemicals(ERC) (T4) on the dry matter intake, milk yield, milk composition and metabolic disorders. Dry matter intake was similar among treatments for 3 weeks prepartum but cows fed enzyme tended to increased feed intake compared to no additives treatment both in calving day and for 3 weeks postpartum. Cows fed Aspergillus oryzae, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and ERC produced more milk than those fed no additives. However, there is no significant difference among treatments. Concentration of glucose was not significantly different among treatment prepartum but that in plasma of cows fed ERC was higher at calving and 3 weeks postpartum compared to others. Increase in NEFA began at 3 weeks prepartum and accelerate during the final 7 days before calving at all treatments but lower for ERC-treated cows at calving and 3 weeks postpartum. Ca concentration not different among treatment prepartum and postpartum. Corticoid content decreased significantly for cows fed ERC compared to those fed non-additives. Metabolic disorder was not occurred in cows fed ERC. However, ketosis and displased abomasum were happened 1 cow when fed non-additives, metritis 1 cow when fed Aspergillus oryzae and retained placenta 1 cow in all treatments except cows fed ERC.

Baker's yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, has been widely used as a food organism for rotifers used in the larval production of marine fish. However, the nutritional value of the yeast is relatively poor compared with that of the marine alga Chlorella. We examined the nutritional value of another yeast, Candida utilis, and whether its food value could be increased through manipulation such as a cell wall treatment. Candida utilis and S. cerevisiae and their manipulated varieties were assessed with regard to the growth and nutrition of the rotifer Brachianus plicatilis. Larvae of the flounder Paralichthys alivaceus were cultured with rotifers fed on the yeast species, and the dietary value of the rotifers for the larvae was examined. Rotifers that were fed C. utilis grew faster than those provided with S. cerevisiae. Rotifers grew slightly faster on manipulated yeast than on non-manipulated yeast varieties. Of the two yeast species, C. utilis had better dietary value for rotifers. Flounder larvae cultured with rotifers that had fed on C. utilis displayed better growth and survival ($\%$) than did those cultured with rotifers that had fed on S. cerevisiae. Although the manipulated variety of C. utilis was better than the non-manipulated variety in terms of rotifer growth, the flounder larvae survived ($\%$) and grew better when they were fed rotifers that had eaten non-manipulated C. utilis. However, the nutritional value of this yeast species was still lower than that of Chlorella.

The goal of this study was to screen a useful alcohol fermentative yeast for Gugija leaf makgeolli (Gl makgeolli) brewing and establish its optimal fermentation condition. Gugija leaves with various alcohol fermentative yeasts were added into the mixture of cooked non-glutinous rice and koji, and then fermented at $25^{\circ}C$ for 7 days. Among several Gl makgeolli, ethanol contents was the highest in Gl makgeolli made by S. cerevisiae F-1. Therefore, we selected S. cerevisiae F-1 as suitable yeast for brewing of Gl makgeolli. Gl makgelli with the best total acceptability and high antihypertensive action was obtained when cooked non-glutinous rice (120 g), boiled D.W (100 mL) and JJ koji (60.5 g/300 sp) were mixed and fermented for 2 days at $30^{\circ}C$ with S. cerevisiae F-1 (5%), and added again cooked non-glutinous rice (150 g), glutinous rice (100 g), D.W (500 mL) and Gugija leave (0.1%/cooked rice) and further fermented for 5 days at $25^{\circ}C$.
