The effects of thiamine-HCl or polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) on growth and catechin contents of calli from Camellia sinensis leaves were investigated to improve catechin productivity in callus cultures on the selective medium. The growth of calli was great on the proliferation medium (the MS medium with 0.2 mg/L 2,4-D and 1.0 mg/L TDZ) supplemented with $20{\sim}30\;mg/L$ thiamine-HCl. Although the caffeine content was low in calli compared to young leaves, the total content of catechins was high in calli. Particularly,(-)-epicatechin (EC) which not detected in young loaves was also detected in calli on the propagation medium containing thiamine-HCl or PVP. In addition, the (-)-epicatechingallate (ECG) content was significantly higher in calli than in young leaves. In conclusion, the proliferation medium supplemented with 30 mg/L thiamine-HCl as a vitamin source seemed to be optimal condition for the growth and catechin production in callus culture.

The optimal synthesis condition based on the yield of thiamine mononitrate has been attained according to Box-wilson experimental design. The optimal condition was as follows : Molar concentration ratio of $SB1{\cdot}HCL=0.6839$, quantity of $NH_4NO_3=50.09g$, agitation velocity=51.6rpm, reaction temperature=22.8$^{\circ}C$. The stabilities of three kinds of thiamine monosalts(thiamine monoiodide, -monobromide, -monorhodanate) were investigated in sterile solution, compressed tablet and multivitamin capsule, respectively. Assay data are given to show that thiamine monosalts are not significantly higher than that of thiamine mononitrate in sterile solutions and the addition of an acidic stabilizer is unnecessary. The solutions were clear and free of precipitate and didn't discolored after storage at room temperature and 40$^{\circ}C$ for 6 months. The tablets and capsules were assayed initially and at predetermined intervals during storage at room temperature and 40$^{\circ}C$ for 6 months. Thiamine monorhodanate was found to be more stable than other thiamine monosalts in these compressed tablets containing other vitamin of the B complex and the data indicate that thiamine monosalts was similar to that of thiamine mononitrate in the multivitamine capsules.

Growth responses of Brevibadterium ammoniagenes BA 17-2, which had been obtained by the treatment of several mutagens in our previous report, were investigated to select the preliminary optimal concentrations of phosphate, $Mg^{++}$, $Mn^{++}$ and thiamine for the production of 5'-XMP aminase. In this experiment it was shown that the concentration of phosphate in the medium has an important effect on the growth of microorganism. Using the medium containing 0.2% of $MgSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O$, 3mg/l of $MnSO_4{\cdot}H_2O$and $1\;mg/l$ of thiamine-HCl, the maximum cell mass was obtained at the concentration of 0.4% of $KH_2PO_4$ and $K_2HPO_4$, respectively. Above the concentration of these phosphates, cell growth was inhibited as the phosphate concentration increased to 1%, but the inhibition was overcome by the addition of 1% of $MgSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O$ and 3mg/l of thiamine-HCl. The 5'-XMP aminase activity was also influenced by the concentration of phosphate, $Mg^{++}$, $Mn^{++}$, and thiamine. In addition, the optimal culture pH and temperature for the enzyme activity were found to be 6.8 and $32^{\circ}C$, respectively.

By the successive enrichment culture, more than 250 methanol-utilizing bacteria were isolated from various samples such as soil, waste water and sewage. Two strains of which were selected and tentatively identified as Acinetobacter sp. and Pseudomonas sp. experiments were carried out to determine the growth conditions for the higher biomass yield and to demonstrate the difference to protein composition dependent upon carbon sources of these two species. the results were as follows ; 1. the optimum pH was determined as 8 in the both species. The optimum temperature in Acinetobacter sp. was $25^{\circ}C{\sim}30^{\circ}C$ and pseudomonas sp. was $30^{\circ}C-35^{\circ}C$. The optimum initial concentration of mthanol was determined as 1-2% in Acinetobacter sp. and 2-3% in pseudomonas sp. 2. The optimum concnetrations of nitrogen source, micro-elements, and vitamins such as biotin and thiamine-HCl in Acnetobactar sp. were 1g $(NH_4)_3SO4,\;1{\sim}3mg\;Mn^{++},\;4mg\;Fe^{++},\;10{\mu}g\;biotin,\;and\;100{\mu}g$ thiamine-HCl per liter medium. In the Pseudomonas sp., 2g $(NH_4)_3SO4,\;1mg\;Mn^{++},\;trace\;amounts\;of\;Fe^{++},\;5{\mu}g\;biotin,\;and\;100{\mu}g$ thiamine HCl per liter were effective. Maximum biomass yield was 2.5g/l in Acinetobacter sp. and 4.8g/l in Pseudomonas sp. 3. Protein composition of the two strains exhibited that alkai-labile protein was higher than alkali-stable protein. In Pseudomonas sp., the contents of acid soluble fraction and alkali-stable protein of the cells grown in the methanol medium were higher than in sucrose medium. On the other hand, in Acinetobacter sp., alkalilabile protein of the cells grown in sucrose medium was higher than in methanol medium.

Using mature seed-derived callus, optimal conditions for efficient callus growth and plant regeneration, and regeneration efficiency by callus type were investigated in zoysiagrass (Zoysia japonica steud.). Callus induction was highest when the seeds were cultured on MS medium containing 2 mg/L 2,4-D, 0.2 mg/L BAP, 4 mg/L thiamine-HCl and 100 mg/L $\alpha$-ketoglutaric acid. Callus growth was highest when callus were cultured on MS medium containing 0.5 mg/L 2,4-D, 0.05 mg/L BAP, 4 mg/L thiamine-HCl and 100 mg/L $\alpha$-ketoglutaric acid. Plant regeneration was highest when callus was transferred on MS medium containing 3% maltose and 1 mg/L BAP, or 1 mg/L thidiazuron (TDZ). The combinations and concentrations of 2,4-D and BAP were shown to be critical factors for both the frequency and the type of callus. And four morphologically distinct types of callus were induced from the 2,4-D and BAP treatment. Type I,II and III calli produced shoots upon subculture, while the watery callus, type IV produced roots without shoots. Of four types of callus, type I exhibited the maximum frequency (82%) of shoot regeneration and the minimum frequency (4%) of albinism.

Interactions between thiamine.HCl and its disulfide derivatives TTFD. TPD and .alpha., .betha. cyclodextrins were investigated. By measuring the H-NMR, C-NMR chemical shifts, the assumption that cyclodextrin may from a inclusion complex with thiamines was supported qualitatively. To calculated the stability constants of them, anion exchange chromatography was applied. The simple, rapid HPLC method was proved to be pertinent thiamine/cyclodextrin system which was chemically unstable and less soluble.

The cultural characteristics of fruit bodies formation in the two selected strains(brown and yellow strain) of winter mushroom collected in Korea were investigated. The effects of various environmental conditions and physicochemical pretreatments were evaluated by the character of fruit bodies. There was no differences between two strains in non-selectivity of media, optimum temperature($11^{\circ}C{\sim}15^{\circ}C$), relative humidity(90%), and illumination(60 lux). In the application of alternated temperature (the best condition : $5^{\circ}C{\cdot}10^{\circ}C$ and $5^{\circ}C{\cdot}15^{\circ}C$), ultraviolet ray(30~50 seconds), electricity(5 seconds), thiamine hydrochloride(0.05~0.1%), urea, and IAA as a pretreatments, there was no differences between two strains. The brown strain had larger pileus and longer stipes than these of the yellow strain, while the yellow strain yielded more weight and number of the fruit body formation than the brown strain.
