Lactic fermented dongchimi naengmyeun broth which has enhanced antioxidative activity was developed. During lactic fermentation of dongchimi naengmyeun broth at $25^{\circ}C$, changes of total lactic acid bacteria, pH, acidity, soluble phenolics, and anthocyanins were investigated. After 72 h of fermentation, the stronger antioxidant activities were observed in dongchimi naengmyeun broth supplemented with purple sweet potato than those of control dongchimi naengmyeun broth which showing 96.80% in DPPH radical scavenging activity, 100.82% in $ABTs^{+{\cdot}}$ scavenging activity, 7.77 in reducing power, and 6.89 in ferric reducing/antioxidant power, respectively. These high antioxidant activities related with higher contents of soluble phenolics and anthocyanins in dongchimi naengmyeun broth supplemented with purple sweet potato. The results suggest that the making of functional dongchimi naengmyeun broth by using high soluble phenolics and anthocyanins supplements such as purple sweet potato powder was possible.

To develop a yellow pigment for a food-additive, a strain producing a water-soluble yellow pigment was isolated from phylloplane of tree leaf. The strain PY123 was identified a Bacillus sp. based on morphological and biochemical characterization such as a bacillus form, mortility, spore formation, Gram positive, and catalase production. The pigment production of the strain PY123 was increased about 3 times in patato broth containing 1% sucrose and 0.1 mM CoCl$_{2}$ than in only potato broth after incubation at 30$circ$C, for 2 days. When 0.1 mM CoCl$_{2}$, was added in potato broth containing 1% sucrose at late log phase during incubation of the strain PY123, cell growth was not inhibited, and the period at maximal pigment production of the strain PY123 was about 12hrs faster than in potato broth containing 1% sucrose and 0.1 mM CoCl$_{2}$, simultaniously.

As the final experiment to assess the possibility of industrial application of FSC14-75, ethanol productivity from liquefied sweet potato starch was examined in a pilot scale of 300 liters. FSC14-75 produced 6.6％(v/v) of ethanol from 13.3％ of liquefied sweet potato starch in 8 days, and the residual sugar was 3.15％. The corresponding efficiency was 70％ of the theoretical maximum. Since we could isolate unicellular cell and flocculent cell from the fermentation broth, we designated them FSC14-75(S) and FSC14-75(F), respectively. We investigated ethanol productivity of FSC14-75(F) compared with that of FSC14-75(S) from liquefied potato starch in a mini·tar tormentor scale of 2.5 liters. FSC14-75(F) was found more favorable than the counterpart in terms of ethanol productivity, and produced 8.1％(v/v) of ethanol from 15％ of liquefied potato starch with an efficiency of 75％. In a pilot scale fermentation with 15％ of liquefied sweet potato starch, ethanol productivity of FSC14-75(F) reached maximum level of 7.7％(v/v) after 8 days, and the residual sugar was 1.9％. However, the ethanol productivity was not enhanced by a supplementary addition of Thermamyl to the fermentation broth after sterilization.

This study was performed to get the basic information concerned to the optimum culture condition of Inonotus obliquus. Several solid media, PDA, MEA and Czapek-Dox, and three liquid media were adopted for the in vitro cultivation. Some main features of the fungal morphological characteristics under cultivation conditions were observed and described. Preliminary results showed that appearance of the mycelial mat, hyphal size and substrate pigmentation differed according to the media. The PDA medium was the most favorable substrate for the growth on solid culture, followed by MEA and Czapek-Dox media. Concerned to the addition of amino acids, 5 amino acids, such as alanine, alginine, isoleucine, leucine and threonine, enhanced to the mycelial growth. Isoleucine was shown the best fungal growth. An important morphological hyphal structure for the fungus, the setae, was found in abundance and diverse its shape and size. In liquid culture, fresh potato broth was the best growth stimulant of the fungus, followed by Malt extract and potato broth. Addition of yeast extract to the liquid media had improved the biomass, but not laccase production.

A fungus with high phosphate solubilizing activites was isolated from soil using potato dextrose agar-calcium phosphate medium and identified to Penicillium sp. PS-113, based on the morphological characteristics of conidiophore and conidia; flask shape of phialide, simple branching type of conidiophore, and columnar shape of conidial head, in malt extract agar and potato dextrose agar media. The optimum temperature ad initial pH to solubilize rock phosphate in potato dextrose broth-rock phosphate medium were 30$^{\circ}C$ and pH 8.0, respectively. In these conditions phosphate solubilizing activities of Penicillium sp. PS-113 against four types of insoluble phosphate like tricalcium-phosphate, aluminium phosphate, hydroxyapatite and rock phosphate were quantitatively determined. As results, this fungus highly produced free phosphates to the culture broth with the concentrations of 1,283 ppm against tricalcium-phosphate, 585 ppm against rock phosphate, 528 ppm against aluminium phosphate, and 242 ppm against hydroxyapatite, respectively.

The hyphal growth, production of color pigments and monacolin K by Monascus strains were investigated in liquid medium. Thirty five different strains were collected and cultured in potato dextrose yeast extract broth (PDYB), potato dextrose broth (PDB) and malt extract broth (MEB) medea at $25^{\circ}C$ for 7 days. The growth rates of most of strains were highest in PDYB medium. Growth rate as well as pigment production were influenced by suspension conditions of mycelia during liquid cultivation. Most of strains producing monacolin K corresponded to strains producing red pigment highly and showing more pH changes of liquid media. Monacolin K produced from strains was detected in culture broth as well as mycelia. Any citrinin was not detected in monacolin K producing strains. These results imply that the selection of the strains producing red pigment highly and showing more pH changes in liquid cultivation could be applied for primary screening of Monascus strains for preparation of red mold rice.

In this study, twelve strains of brewing fungi were individually cultivated on wheat extract broth (WEB), potato dextrose broth (PDB) and malt extract broth (MEB) in order to determine the microorganism with good culture characteristics as well as with amylolytic activity. The strain cultured in PDB exhibited mycelia production from 12.6 g/L (Rhizopus oryzae KACC 45714) to a maximum of 48.0 g/L (Aspergillus oryzae KACC 46959), which was 2.3~9.2 times lower than that of the strain cultured in WEB and 1.7~14.6 times lower than that of the strain cultured in MEB. Accorfing the results, We found that the commercial strains of A. oryzae Suwon, CF1001 and CF1003 had a higher dry cell mass than the wild-type strains KACC 46421, 46423, 46424 and 46959. For Rhizopus sp., the acidity levels in WEB, PDB and MEB were 0.12~0.47%, 0.22~1.0% and 0.16~0.68% (equivalent lactic acid concentration) respectively. For A. oryzae, the acidity levels were 0.06~0.11%, 0.03~0.04% and 0.06~0.08% (equivalent lactic acid concentration), respectively. Amylase enzyme from Rhizopus delemar KACC 46419 exhibited an enzyme activity of 0.013 U and 0.019 U in WEB and MEB cultures, respectively. The enzyme activity of the amylase enzyme from A. oryzae was 0.019~0.037, 0.017~0.033 and 0.028~0.046 U in WEB, PDB and MEB cultures, respectively.

The optimum conditions for ethanol fermentation and ethanol productivity of the fusant ESC-14-15 were examined in a mini-jar formentor scale (working volume : 2.5 liters) to assess the possibility of practical application. Addition of yeast extract to fermentation broth greatly enhanced the ethanol productivity and shortened the period of fermentation. The pH 4.2 was more favorable than pH 5.5 with respect to ethanol productivity and fermentation speed. The optimum concentration of liquefied potato starch for ethanol fermentation of FSC-14-15 was 15%(w/v) and the corresponding productivity was 8.7%(v/v) of ethanol with an efficiency of 80.6% to the theoretical maximum. When the fresh fermentation broth containing 20% of liquefied potato starch was inoculated with love(v/v) of inoculum, the fusant FSC-14-75 produced 11.0%(v/v) of ethanol in 4 days, which is considered comparable to that from an industrial process. From the liquefied cassava starch or the equal mixture of liquefied barley and sweet potato starch prepared according to the same method as in the industrial process except saccharification step, the fusnnt FSC-14-75 produced 8.5%(v/v) or 7.6%(v/v) of ethanol in 4 days, respectively.
