본 연구는 천연계 계면활성제의 하나인 사이클로덱스트린을 이용한 화학적 토양세정을 다룬다. 두가지 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon인 phenanthrene과 naphthalene을 오염물질로 선정하고 토양종류 및 세정강도를 주변수로 하여 수직칼럼 상에서의 오염물질 제거효과를 분석, 고찰하였다. 실험실 규모의 연구결과, 오염원 제거효율은 세정액의 유량, 농도, 온도 및 토양칼럼의 공극률에 비례하는 것으로 나타났으며, 형광광도 분석과 methylene blue와 같은 염료 라벨링 분석을 통하여 초기 세정은 토양과 계면활성제의 흡착에 의존하고 세정이 거듭될수록 유체흐름에 의한 전단력이 주요변수임을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 데이터는 향후 pilot 규모의 현장세정시 기초자료로 활용가능하며, 세정전략 (회분식, 연속식)수립에 유용할 것으로 사료된다.

The expression of the Paenibacillus sp. A11 cyclodextrinase (CDase) gene using the pUC 18 vector in Escherichia coli JM 109 resulted in the formation of an insoluble CDase protein in the cell debris in addition to a soluble CDase protein in the cytoplasm. Unlike the expression in Paenibacillus sp. A11, CDase was primarily observed in cytoplasm. However, by adding 0.5 M sorbitol as an osmolyte, the formation of insoluble CDase was prevented while a three-fold increase in cytoplasmic CDase activity was achieved after a 24 h-induction. The recombinant CDase protein was purified to approximately 14-fold with a 31% recovery to a specific activity of 141 units/mg protein by 40-60% ammonium sulfate precipitation, DEAE-Toyopearl 650 M, and Phenyl Sepharose CL-4B chromatography. It was homogeneous by non-denaturing and SDS-PAGE. The enzyme was a single polypeptide with a molecular weight of 80 kDa, as determined by gel filtration and SDS-PAGE. It showed the highest activity at pH 7.0 and $40^{\circ}C$. The catalytic efficiency ($k_{cat}/K_m$) values for $\alpha$-, $\beta$-, and $\gamma$-CD were $3.0{\times}10^5$, $8.8{\times}10^5$, and $5.5{\times}10^5\;M^{-1}\;min^{-1}$, respectively. The enzyme hydrolyzed CDs and linear maltooligosaccharides to yield maltose and glucose with less amounts of maltotriose and maltotetraose. The rates of hydrolysis for polysaccharides, soluble starch, and pullulan were very low. The cloned CDase was strongly inactivated by N-bromosuccinimide and diethylpyrocarbonate, but activated by dithiothreitol. A comparison of the biochemical properties of the CDases from Paenibacillus sp. A11 and E. coli transformant (pJK 555) indicates that they were almost identical.
