This study compared the feasibility of utilizing a wood bioenergy system over a conventional central heating and cooling system and a cogeneration system in an apartment complex. The performance of the three systems were compared in the following areas: energy consumption, environmental impact(output of CO2, CH4, and N2O), and life cycle cost. The results showed that energy performance of the wood bioenergy system was similar to the conventional central system (just a 1% improvement) but the cogeneration system showed a 12% reduction in energy consumption compared to the conventional system. In terms of environmental impact, the bioenergy system reduced pollutants by 50% while the cogeneration system reduced pollutants by 30% compared to the conventional system. Life cycle cost analysis indicated bioenergy and cogeneration to have an 8% and 19% improvement over the conventional system. The findings of the study suggest that it is both economically and environmentally beneficial to use a wood bioenergy system in place of a conventional central heating and cooling system in apartment complexes.

Recently the production of ethanol from lignocecllulosics has received much attention due to immense potential for conversion of renewable biometerials into biofuels and chemicals. Fomitopsis palustris causes a typycal brown-rot and is unusual in that it rapidly depolymerize the cellulose in wood without removing the surrounding lignin that normally prevents microbial attack. This study demonstrated that the brown rot basidiomycete F. palustris was able to degrade crystalline cellulose. This fungus could also produce the three major cellulases (BGL, EXG and EG) when the cells were grown on 2.0% Avicel. The fungus was able to degrade both the crystalline and amorphous forms of cellulose from woody biomasses. Moreover, we found that this fungus has the processive EG like CBH which are able to degrade the crystalline region of cellulose. To establish the cellulase system in relation with degradation of woody biomass, we performed that purification, characterization and molecular cloning of a BGL, EGs and GLA from F. palustris grown on Avicel.

Xylan의 효소적 가수분해는 고부가가치 기능성 물질 또는 바이오에너지 생산을 위한 발효성 당을 얻는 가장 유용한 방법 중 하나이다. endo-${\beta}$-Xylanase는 xylan 주사슬 내부의 ${\beta}$-1,4-결합을 가수분해하여 xylobiose, xylotriose를 포함한 다양한 XOS를 생산하는 핵심 효소이다. 이들 효소 중에서 glucuronoxylanase GH30은 methylglucuronic acid가 측쇄에 수식된 xylan에 특이적으로 작용한다. 본 연구에서는 Paenibacillus amylolyticus KCTC 3005에서 유래한 2종의 xylan 가수분해효소(PaXN_10과 PaGuXN_30) 유전자를 클로닝하고, Escherichia coli에서 각각 발현시켰다. PaXN_10 (38.7 kDa)은 ${\beta}$-xylanase GH10 계열, PaGuXN_30 (58.5 kDa)은 glucuronoxylanase GH30에 해당하는 효소이며, $50^{\circ}C$와 pH 7.0에서 최대 활성을 나타내었다. 가수분해 특성 연구를 통해 P. amylolyticus가 목질계 glucuronoxylan을 분해하는 효소 시스템을 제안하였다. 세포 외로 분비되는 PaGuXN_30은 glucuroxylan을 가수분해하여 methylglucuronic acid 측쇄를 가지는 다양한 aldouronic acid mixtures를 생성하며, 이러한 분해산물은 세포 내로 이동하여 PaXN_GH10에 의해 xylose, xylobiose와 같은 저분자 XOS로 분해되어 세포 내 대사경로에 이용될 수 있다. 또한 이들 효소의 가수분해특성을 이용하여 다양한 탄수화물 소재 생산이 가능할 것으로 기대한다.
