Abstract

Unlike general microwave, QRD (Quadratic Residue Diffusor) Microwave used in this study is known as a new technology that enhances the sterilization effect with low power because it is possible to induce the average sterilization by changing wavelength phase difference. Therefore, basic research was conducted on the function that could sterilize culture media for plant factory by using environmentally friendly and low energy consuming QRD Microwave. The results are as follows: It was confirmed that there was no external deformation in the polyurethane foam and rock wool medium when changing the microwave level between 2 and 8 kW in different water content of culture media. However, PDA solid media at 2 kW were not dissolved in 60 and 180 seconds. All of the media were dissolved in other processing. There was little difference in the microwave irradiation level and surface temperature of the strain according to the processing time between Bacillus sp. and Burkholderia sp. In the sterility test according to the microwave irradiation level and processing time, it was confirmed that both Bacillus sp. and Burkholderia sp. grew in the microwave level 2 kW regardless of time. In the microwave level 6 kW, all experimental groups except the processing of Burkholderia sp. for 60 seconds were sterilized, and all of Bacillus sp. was killed in the all experimental groups. In the microwave level 8 kW, it was confirmed that both Bacillus sp. and Burkholderia sp. were sterilized regardless of time. The temperature in microwave-processed media after contaminating strains to each medium was maintained at more than 100 in polyurethane foam and rock wool medium after 60 seconds. In general, it was shown that it was possible to sterilize after 60 seconds. Therefore, it is considered that Bacillus sp. and Burkholderia sp. which are the biggest problems in the plant factory can be adequately sterilized by QRD Microwave used in this study.

본 연구에서 사용한 QRD(Quadratic Residue Diffusor) 마이크로파는 일반적인 마이크로파와 달리 파장의 위상차를 변화시켜 균일한 살균을 유도할 수 있어 저전력으로 효과를 높일 수 있는 새로운 기술로 알려져 있다. 따라서 친환경적이고 에너지 소비가 적은 QRD 마이크로파를 이용하여 식물공장에 이용되고 있는 배지를 멸균할 수 있는 가능성에 대한 기초적인 연구를 수행하여 얻은 결과는 아래와 같다. 마이크로파의 조사 출력에 따른 배지의 외적변형은 배지 내의 수분의 함유량과 마이크로파 출력을 2~8kW까지에서 우레탄스폰지와 암면은 외적변형이 전혀 일어나지 않은 것으로 확인되었다. 그러나 PDA고체배지는 2kW 출력에 60초와 180초에서는 배지가 녹지 않았고, 그 외 처리에서는 전부 배지가 녹았다. Bacillus sp.와 Burkholderia sp.에서 마이크로파의 조사 출력과 처리시간에 따른 균주 표면 온도는 차이가 나타났다. 마이크로파의 조사 출력과 처리시간에 따른 균주 멸균 실험은 마이크로파의 출력 2kW에서 시간과 관계없이 Bacillus sp.와 Burkholderia sp.는 모두 자라고 있는 것을 확인하였고, 마이크로파의 출력 6kW에서는 Burkholderia sp.의 60초 처리를 제외한 모든 실험구에서 멸균되었으며, Bacillus sp.는 모든 실험구에서 사멸되었다. 마이크로파의 출력 8kW에서 시간과 관계없이 Bacillus sp.와 Burkholderia sp.는 모두 멸균되었음을 확인하였다. 균주를 각각의 배지에 오염시킨 후 마이크로파를 처리한 배지 내의 온도는 처리시간 60초 지난 뒤에는 우레탄스폰지와 암면배지에서의 온도가 $100^{\circ}C$ 이상으로 유지되어 대체로 60초 부터 멸균이 가능한 것으로 판단되었다. 따라서 식물공장내에 가장 문제가 되고 있는 Bacillus sp.와 Burkholderia sp.는 본 실험에서 사용된 QRD 마이크로파로 충분히 멸균될 수 있을 것이라 판단된다.
