Poly (vinylchloride) (PVC) membrane electrodes based on neutral carrier, tetracycline was prepared as an active sensor for Hg(II) ion, and tested in different contents of the potassium tetrakis (4-chlorophenyl) borate (KTpClPB) as lipophilic salt. Bis (2-ethylhexyl) sebacate (DOS), bis(l-butylpentyl) adipate (BBPA), 2-nitrophenyl octyl ether (NPOE) and dibutyl phthalate (DBP) were used as diverse plasticizing solvent mediators. This electrode shows excellent potentiometric response characteristics and display good linearity with log $[Hg^{+2}]$ versus EMF response, over a range of concentrations between $10^{-7}$ and $10^{-3}M$. With 30.8mV/decade Nernstian slope, the detection limit was $6.9{\times}10^{-9}M$ and the response time was less than 20s. The proposed electrode yields very good selectivity for mercury (II) ion over many cations such as alkali, alkaline earth, transition and heavy metal ions. And it shows a very stable potential values in a wide pH range. This reliable electrode prepared was kept at least a month without considerable alteration in their response to Hg (II) ion.

This study was performed to investigate the nutritional status associated with hypertension. The subjects were composed of 52 middle aged men divided into normotensive and hypertensive groups according to the Joint National Committee(JNC)-7 criteria. The mean blood pressures of the normotensive and hypertensive groups were $109.8{\pm}1.8$ / $68.9{\pm}1.7mmHg$, and $146.8{\pm}4.6$ / $90.5{\pm}2.9mmHg$, respectively. The percent body fat (PBF), waist to hip ratio (WHR), and serum levels of total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, Na, Cl, alanine transferase (ALT), and atherogenic index (AI) were significantly higher in the hypertensive group than normotensive group. The intakes of energy, protein, lipid, vitamin B1, niacin, and intake ratio of Na/K were significantly higher in the hypertensive group than normotensive group. Our findings suggest that decreasing PBF, WHR, serum levels of total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol and NaCl may play an important role in the prevention of hypertension. It also suggests that decreasing intakes of energy, protein, lipid, vitamin B1, niacin, and Na/K ratio are crucial in order to prevent hypertension.

V. alginolyticus 138-2, a marine halophilic bacterium, produced an extracellular amylase with a molecular weight of ca. 56,000. The analysis of the digestion products of soluble starch by thin layer chromatography(TLC) revealed that the extracellular amylase of V. alginolyticus 138-2 is a saccharifying-type alpha-amylase. The alpha-amylase activity of the culture supernatant of soluble starch was optimal at pH 6.0 and 45$^{\circ}C$. Ca2+ slightly increased the alpha-amylase activity, whereas Hg2+, An2+, Cu2+, Ni2+, Fe2+, and Mn2+inhibited the enzymatic activity. Alkylating thiol group agent, iodoacetic acid did not affect the alpha-amylase activity, but reduced thiol reagents such as dithiothreitol, cysteine, and beta-mercaptoethanol stimulated theenzymatic activity. On the other hand, even if V. alginolyticus 138-2 is a marine halophilic bacterium, its alpha-amylase activity was significantly inhibited by NaCl.

액체막의 운반체로 사용할 새로운 2개의 거대고리화합물을 합성하였다. 이들 결과들은 이 시스템을 구성하는데 있어서 이론의 응용성을 증명하여 준다. source phase의 공존이온으로서 $SCN^-$,$I^-$ 및 $Cl^-$이온을 그리고 receicing phases에서 $S_2O_3^{2-}$와 $P_2O_7^{4-}$을 이용한 액세막계로서부터 중금속 이온들에 대한 선택적 수송효율을 검토하였다. source phase의 M(II)이 $Cd(SCN)_2$$(P[SCN^-]= 0.40M)$, $Hg(SCN)_2([SCN^-]=0.40M)$, Pd(CN)$([CN^-]= 0.40M)$일때 M(II)의 수송율은 최대값을 나타낸다. 각가의 경쟁 양이온에 대한 Cd(II)이나 Pd(II)은 source phase가 00.3M-$S_2O_3^{2-}$이나 0.3M-$P_2O_7^{4-}$ 일때 가장 잘 분리된다.이 연구의 결과에서, 이 액체막계에서 효과적인 거대고리-매질수송을 하기 위해서는 두개의 규칙이 반드시 필요하다. 첫째, tiluence중으로 $M^{n+}$이온이 효과적으로 추출되고, 즉 만일 $M^{n+}$ 거대고리화합물 상호작용에 대한 logK값과 $M^{n+}$-거대고리화합물($L_1$이나 $L_2$)의 상호작용에 대한 logK값의 비가 충분히 크다면 receiving phase와 toluene의 접촉면으로부터 쉽게 중금속이온($Cd^{2+}$,$Pb^{2+}$ 및 $Hg^{2+}$)들이 떨어져 나온다. $L_1$(3,5-benzo-10,13,18,21-tetraoxa-1,7-diazabicyclo(8,5,5)eicosnan)은 $Cd^{2+}$ 과 $Pb^{2+}$ 이온과 안정한 착물을 형성한다. 그리고 $L_1$은 수용액중에서 용해하기가 매우 어렵다. 그리고 $Cd^{2+}$$L_1$나 $Pb^{2+}$$L_1$착물은 $Cd^{2+}-{(S_2O_3)}_2^{2-}$나 $Pd^{2+}-P_2O_7^{4-}$착물보다 비교적 불안정하다. 다른 한편으로 $Hg^{2+}-L_1$착물의 안정도는 $Hg^2-{2+}-(S_2O_3)_2^{2-}$이나 $Pb^{2+}-P0_2O_7^{4-}$의 그것보다 그리고 $L_2$(5,8,15,18,23,26-hexaoxa-1,12-diazabicyclo(10,8,8)octacosan)의 tuluene에 대한 분배계수는 $L_1$의 그것보다 훨씬 작다. 따라서 $Hg^{2+}$-$L_1$이나 $M^{n+}$이나 $M^{n+}-L-2(M^{2+}=Cd^{2+}, Pb^{2+}$이나 $Hg^{2+})$의 안정도수상수가 매우 큼에도 불구하고 이들 양이온의 수송량은 매우 적다.

This work focused on characterization of the starch degradation activity from extremophile strain Deinococcus geothermalis. Glucoamylase gene from D. geothermalis was cloned and overexpressed by pET-21a vector using E. coli BL21 (DE3). In order to characterize starch degrading activity of recombinant glucoamylase, enzyme was purified using HisPur Ni-NTA column. The recombinant glucoamylase from D. geothermalis exhibited the optimum temperature as $45^{\circ}C$ for starch degradation activity. And highly acido-stable starch degrading activity was shown at pH 2. For further optimization of starch degrading activity with metal ion, various metal ions ($AgCl_2$, $HgCl_2$, $MnSO_4{\cdot}4H_2O$, $CoCl_2{\cdot}6H_2O$, $MgSO_4$, $ZnSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O$, $K_2SO_4$, $FeCl_2{\cdot}4H_2O$, NaCl, or $CuSO_4$) were added for enzyme reaction. As results, it was found that $FeCl_2{\cdot}4H_2O$ or $MnSO_4{\cdot}4H_2O$ addition resulted in 17% and 9% improved starch degrading activity, respectively. The recombinant glucoamylase from D. geothermalis might be used for simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) process at high acidic conditions.

Our works performed for preparation of oligosaccharides from carrageenan, seaweed polysaccharide, and one active strain for carrageenan was isolated from sea water and identified to Pseudomonas alcaligenes. Carrageenan degrading enzyme was purified from the culture fluid of isolated strain-Pseudomonas alcaligenes JCL-43, by DEAE-Cellulose, Sephadex G-100, Q-Sepharose and CM Sepharose CL-6B column chromatography. Two enzyme-F-I, F-II- was identified this purifying process, and the molecular weight of the purified carrageenase were estimated to be 23.6kDa and 30.2kDa, respectively. The optimum pH and temperature for two carrageenase activity were 7.0 and 4$0^{\circ}C$. These enzymes were stable in the pH range of 6.0~7.5 and lower than 5$0^{\circ}C$, and required 1.5% NaCl for optimum activity. And these carragennase were inhibited by metal ions such as Cu2+, Zn2+, Hg2+, but increased by Ba2+ and Ca2+, and showed specificity on -carrageenan.

Microorganisms capale of utilizing linear alkylbenzene sulfonates(LAS) as sole carbon source were isolated from industrial effluent by using LAS agar plates. The isolated strains were identified as Salmonella sp(BC-2) and Escherichia sp.(BC-3) from the results of morphological, cultural and biochemical tests. The optimal condition for the growth and biodegradation of LAS was the initial pH 7.0 and LAS concentration 0.1%. The isolated BC-2 and BC-3 strains harbored plasmid and LAS-degrading activity was lost when the plasmids were cured by mitomycin C. The plasmids were transformed into E. coli and transformants have the LAS-degrading activity. Isolated strains were examined for primary biodegradation rate of LAS in the medium by methylene blueactive substance(MBAS) method. Of these isolates, BC-2 and BC-3 strains degradated LAS upto 60% and high resistant to CdCl$_{2}$ and HgCl$_{2}$. Isolated strains were sensitive to chloramphenicol, kanamycin, rifampicin, streptomycin and tetracycline but resistant to ampicillin and lincomycin.] Its minimal inhibitory concentration(MIC) for ampicillin was more than 1500 $\mu $g/ml.

A Fructan-degrading enzyme was partially purified from onion (Allium cepa)bulbs by a combination of ammonium sufate precipitation, concanavalin-A-Affinity chromatography, and ion-exchange and gel-filtration chromatography. The enzyme hydrolyzed sucrose more effectively than inulin and was identified as a $\beta$- fructofuranosidase (invertase). The optimum pH and temperature were pH 5.5 and 35$^{\circ}C$, respectively. The enzymehydrolyzed sucrose with a Km of 1.2mM . The soluble $\beta$-fructofuranosidase is likely glycoprotein based on its ability to bind the lectin concanavalin-A. The enzyme was heatlabie, with mose activity being lost at 5$0^{\circ}C$ in 1 hr of incubation. The onion $\beta$-fructofuranosidase was partially inhibited by ZnCl2 HgCl2 and CuSo4.

A new sensing system based on the immobilization of luminescent batcteria, Photobacterium phosphoreum, was proposed for continuous real-time monitoring of polluants. The response curves demonstrate that Photobacterium phosphoreum immobilized on the strontium alginate was very sensitive to seven reference chemicals used. The significant inhibitory concentrations for bioluminescence emission were 5 ppm for Pb(NO3)2, NiCl2, CdCl2, 50 ppm for NaAsO2, 0.1ppm for HgCl2, 0.5ppm for pentachlorophenol and less than 5ppm for SDS, respectively. The alginate mixed-cells (AMC) retained their luminescence during experimental period (29 days) under storage condition of -8$0^{\circ}C$. The variables affecting performance of continuous flow through monitoring (CFTM) were optimized in order to ensure stability and efficiency. The flow through cell with strontium-alginate immobilized luminescent bacteria was tested with salicylate and 4-nitrophenol and a rapid response of luminescence was recorded by time drive mode in bioluminescence spectrometer after exposure to both toxicants.
