The growth characteristics of Paecilomyces tenuipes according to the passage in the two kind of liquid media were investigated by comparing the mycelium and conidium formation degrees. The potato dextrose broth medium and the silkworm larvae medium containing the silkworm powder were used as the liquid media, and the potato dextrose agar medium and the brown rice medium containing the powder of silkworm pupa were used as the solid media. The conidium formation degree in liquid media differed by the passages but that in solid media was not. This suggested that the passage in liquid media did not affect significantly the conidium formation in solid media. When the brown rice media were inoculated with the concentration of $1{\times}10^{10}$ conidia/ml, $1{\times}10^8$ conidia/ml and $1{\times}10^6$ conidia/ml, respectively, the conidium formation degrees were similar. This indicated that the optimal inoculation concentration of conidium to the brown rice media is $1{\times}10^6$ conidia/ml.

Studies on some properties of cellulase isolated from Piricularia oryzae. Crude cellulases were prepared from dried rice plant powder (Tong-il, Pal-dal) culture of P. oryzae(N-2, C-8, T-2). The best yield of enzyme was obtained from the medium using Tong-il rice plant powder for P. oryzae cav. N-2 and 2%-sucrose concentration in preculture media. Two units of the enzyme were incubated at $60^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour with 1.0ml, 0.6% Na-CMC. The optimum temperature for the enzyme activity was at $60^{\circ}C$ and the optimum pH was at pH4.0. When Na-CMC was used as substrate the $K_m$ values of crude enzyme were calculated to be $1.05{\times}10^{-4}\;mM\;and\;V_{max}$ was 2.8 mmole/hour. A 10-fold partial purification was achieved by $(NH_4)_2SO_4$ precipitation followed by column chromatography on DEAE Sephadex A-25.

To screen additives and their mixed ratio suitable for the mycelial growth and fruiting body formation of Oudemansiella radicata in the oak sawdust, additives such as rice bran, fermented soybean powder and wheat bran were used. Generally, the mycelial growth of O. radicata has been stable on oak sawdust mixed with rice bran of $5{\sim}20%$. In case that O. radicata was cultured for about 30 days at $22{\pm}1^{\circ}C$ under the illumination (350 lux) of 12 hours and moisture condition of $90{\pm}5%$, the primordia have been formed gradually from red-brown crusts covering the surface of oak sawdust media. Based on the experimental results from 9 strains of O. radicata, fruiting bodies were produced widely on oak sawdust medium mixed with rice bran of 5 to 30%. Even though fruiting bodies of O. radicata have been produced well on oak sawdust media mixed with rice bran, fruiting bodies of O. radicata were produced intensively on oak sawdust media mixed with rice bran of 10%. Therefore, this result will provide a basic information for commercial production of fruiting body of wild O. radicata. This result is the first report associated with an artificial fruiting body formation of O. radicata in Korea.

This experiment was conducted to investigate the conditions for production and the characteristics of pretenses. Aspergillus oryzae KC-15, which is selected as a superior strain for the production of the protease, was used in this study. The results obtained were as follows: 1. The optimum culture time for the production of acid, neutral and alkaline protease on wheat bran medium were about 48, 48 and 72hr, respectively. The protease-produced by the strain were mainly alkaline and neutral one, but the production of acid protease was feeble extremely. 2. The addition of NaH$_2$PO$_4$, Na$_2$HPO$_4$, glucose, rice powder and Na-glutamate respectively to wheat bran media were effective for the production of alkaline and neutral protease, and the addition of (NH$_4$)$_2$HPO$_4$, glucose and rice powder respectively were effective for the production of acid protease. 3. Characteristics of professes(equation omitted) 4. As a heat resistance agent, NaH$_2$PO$_4$was the most effective one. The optimum amount of NaH$_2$PO$_4$was 10mg for alkaline and neutral protease, and 5mg for acid protease. 5. The heat resistance of the Protease by NaH$_2$PO$_4$was not recognized mostly above 6$0^{\circ}C$. 6. After the treatment of enzyme solution with 10mg of NaH$_2$PO$_4$for 30 minutes at 55$^{\circ}C$, the residual activities measured for alkaline, neutral and acid protease were 58, 57 and 55％ respectively.

In the medium containing 7% rice powder, 0.15% $NH_4NO_3$ and 0.1% $MnSO_4$ with initial pH 6.0, the red pigment production by Monascus anka albidus was observed. The mycelium were cultured at $30^{\circ}C$ for 5 days with reciprocal shaking (130 rpm). As a carbon source, glutinous rice gave the highest production of pigment. Ammonium nitrate and $KH_2PO_4$ as a nitrogen source and phosphate source, respectively, stimulated best the production of the red pigment. The optimum C:N ratio was found to be 18:1. The production of the pigment by the strain was 2.6 mg/ml in a flask, but 1.8 mg/ml in 5l fermentor, respectively.

In order to elucidate the possibility of artificial production of p. ferulae by solid-state culture, the optimization of culture conditions was carried out. When $NH_4H_2PO_4$ and $CaCO_3$ were used in the cultures using test tube with 30 g of Populus sawdust at $25^{\circ}C{\pm}1$ in the dark, the favored mycelial growth was observed with $1\%$ of $NH_4H_2PO_4$ and the production of polysaccharide was 7.85 mg/100 mg of mycelium with $1\%$ of $CaCO_3$. The mixtures of $80\%$ of Populus Sawdust and $20\%$ of rice bran at $60\%$ of water content were determined to be optimal for the production of fruiting bodies in the sawdust culture. When three treatments containing various ratios of garlic powder were conducted, yields of fruiting bodies were drasti[ally higher than those of Synthetic mixture without garlic powder The highest yield (143 g/bag) was obtained with $7\%$ garlic powder. The yield of synthetic mixture containing $7\%$ of garlic powder was $83\%$ higher than that of Sawdust culture. The reason why garlic powder did support growth was not clear but it is possible that garlic powder might contain effective components for the formation of fruiting body. The optimal synthetic mixture composition consisted of cotton seed $77\%$, lime $6.4\%,\;K_2HPO_4\;0.2\%,\;KH_2PO_4\;0.2\%,\;CaHPO_4\;0.2\%$, corn flour $4\%$, wheat flour $5\%$, and garlic pow-der $7\%$.
