Chungkookjang, fermented soybean, is high in microorganism, enzymes, daidzein, and peptides. Using yellow, black, Seoritae, small-black soybeans and Bacillus licheniformis B1, each Chungkookjang (YC, BC, SC, SBC) was prepared, and their fermentation patterns were compared. Changes of pH and browning material formation were taken as an indicative of fermentation. YC had a high pH increase at an early stage of fermentation, and a low change at a late stage. BC, SC, and SBC showed different patterns with a low pH increase at an early stage and a high pH increase at a late stage. Formation rate of browning material was fastest in YC and slow in the rest of BC, SC, and SMC. SC showed the highest value of browning material formation 1 d after fermentation. Anthocyanin in black soybeans seems to suppress the growth of bacteria at an early stage of fermentation. When anti-inflammatory daidzein contents were analyzed by HPLC, BC, SC, SBC showed higher values than YC. It was demonstrated that black soybeans can be fermented with B. licheniformis B1.

The change of soil microbial populations was studied at the burnt areas of Mt. Jirisan in Hddong-Gun, Kyungsangnam-Do, where the fire had occurred on Oct. 21 in 1997. On the first day of the fireextinguished, the microbial density (CFUIg dry soil) was investigated at the surface, 5 cm, 10 cm, 20cm, and 30 cm depth of soils. Bacteria at the surface and 5cm depth of burnt sites were estimatedwith the low density level of $10^2$ CFW/g soil comparing to the $10^6$ CFUIg soil of the neighboring unburntsites. Actinomycetes of burnt sites were completely disappeared at the surface, and were estimatedwith the low density level of $10^3$ CFUig soil at thc 5 cm depth comparing to the 10"CFUigsoil at the depth of unburnt sites. Fungi wcrc not isolated at the surface and 5 cm depth at all.However, the rarest lire was not found to decrease the microbial populalions at the lower depths than10 cm. In addilion, the recovery or soil microbial populations following the fire was bimonthly investigatedat the surrace and 5 cm depth. Most of microbial densities at the burnt sites were greatlyincreased two months after the fire, being enough to he compared with the neighboring unburnt sites.However, actinomycetes only at the surface of burnt sites still were estimated the low density level of$10^4$ CFUig soil 4 months after the fire comparing to the $10^6$CFIg soil of unburnt sites.TEX>CFIg soil of unburnt sites.

The microflora changes of 10 water-controled treatments combined with livestock manures(pig, chicken) and bulking agents(sawdust, paper sludge) were investigated. The B/F values of the P-1 and C-1(65%, $H_2O$) treatments were 3571 and 5400 respectively, but those of the P-4 and C-4(50%, $H_2O$) treatments showed very low values, 667 and 334, respectively. The B/F values tended to increase with higher water content of the treatments. In the composting processes, the successions of microflora, adapting the compost environments, took place via fluctuating temperature. In the high temperature period, the numbers of mesophilic bacteria and fungi decreased, but that of the spore forming bacteria increased. However, the number of mesophilic bacteria inereased during the cold period. The B/F values of compost ranged 25-300, which indicates a decrease in the quantity of bacteria. The time required for the temperature of compost to reach $60^{\circ}C$ showed different patterns. There was no pathogenic microorganism in the treatments which reached a high temperature in a short period of time, but, in the treatments which reached a high temperature over a Long period of time, the pathgenic microorganism was not still alive.

유류오염 토양내 유류의 분해와 무기오염물질의 함량과의 관계성을 알아보기위해 부산 문헌지구의 유류 오염 토양 profile중 유류가 비교적 많은 두 층과 유기물이 다량 함유된 제주도 토양을 경유로 오염시킨 토양을 선택하여 유류가 분해 정도와 Pb, Zn, Cd, Ni의 함량을 측정 비교하였다. 토양 채취후 즉시 유류를 추출한 것, 15일간 별도의 미생물 영양원을 가하지 않고 습도와 통풍만을 행하여 토양내 존재하는 미생물들에 의하여만 유류가 분해되도록 한 것, $105^{\circ}C$에서 24시간 열처리를 행하여 미생물에 의한 분해보다는 물리적인 방법으로 비교적 강하게 처리한 것 세가지 경우에서 토양에서 추출한 유류를 분석한 결과 normal alkane이 서서히 상당량 분해되는 양상을 보여주었다. 토양내 Pb, Zn, Cd, Ni를 분석한 결과 부산 시료의 경우 두 층(B2, B3)모두 Cd은 검출한계 이하로, Ni의 경우 극소량의 함량을 보여주었다. Zn의 경우 B2는 28～29ug/g, B3는 12～14ug/g으로 세가지 경우 별 차이 없는 양상을 보여 주었다. 하지만, Pb의 경우 B2에서는 그 함량이 유류의 normal alkane의 분해와 함께 서서히 증가하는 경향을 확연히 보여주었으며, B3의 경우도 B2와 유사한 변화 양상을 보여주었다. 제주도 토양의 경우 Pb는 검출되지 않았고, Zn은 소량 검출되었다. Ba, Ni 함량은 normal alkane 분해에 따라 다소 증가하였다. 따라서, 본 예비실험을 통하여 유류오염 토양에서 유류의 분해와 일부 무기이온사이에는 관련성을 갖고 있으며, 이는 유류 분해정도를 파악하는 지시자로써 특정 무기 오염물질을 이용할 수 있을 가능성이 있으므로 좀더 이들 관계성에 대한 연구가 진행될 필요성이 있다고 판단된다.고 과학적으로 분석할 수 있는 방법이 될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. 의미를 되새기는 것으로 짧은 연구를 시작하겠다. 등은 활성 값이 70% 이상으로 퇴적물 독성이 상대적으로 낮았다. 이중나선 DNA 함량은 28.4 % - 49%로 대조군에 비해서 감소가 크다. 대부분의 정점이 대조군의 30% 내외로 정점 간의 차이는 크지는 않다. 그러나 다른 측정자료와 같이 정점 22에서 18%로 최소치를 나타내고, 정점 2, 12에서 20% 내외의 값을 보인다. 종합적으로 볼 때 오염물질의 유입이 크고, 광양제철 인근 정점 들이 모두 다른 정점에 비해서 낮아서, 퇴적물 독성이 높은 정점으로 조사되었다.hiwo의 광합성 능력은 낮은 농도들에서는 대조구와 유사하였으나, 5 $\mu\textrm{g}$/l의 높은 농도에서는 초기에 매우 낮은 광합성 능력을 보이다가 시간이 경과하면서 대조군보다 더 높은 경향을 나타냈다. 이러한 결과는 식물플랑크톤이 benso[a]pyrene의 낮은 농도에서 노출될 때는 이 물질을 탄소원으로 사용할 가능성이 있음을 시사한다. 본 연구의 결과들은 연안해역에 benso[a]pyrene과 같은 지속성 유기오염물질이 유입되었을 때 내정여부에 따라 식물플랑크톤 군집내 종 천이와 일차생산력에 크게 영향을 미칠 수 있음을 시사한다.TEX>5.2개)였으며, 등급별 회수율은 각각 GI(8.5%), GII(13.4%), GIII(43.9%), GIV(34.2%)로 나타났다.ments of that period left both in Japan and Korea.

Microbial-fermented tea (MFT), which is made by microorganisms through fermentation, is a popular beverage in Asia, especially in the Yunnam province, China. In this study, changes of the chemical constituents and antioxidant activity during the manufacturing process of MFT were investigated. MFT were respectively prepared from fresh leaves of three different tea species (Yabukita, Daecha, and Korean wild cultivar) and a processed green tea (Korean wild cultivar). The color of the tea infusions gradually changed to red and yellow as a function of fermentation time. Total nitrogen and caffeine contents were not significantly changed. Whereas, the chlorophyll, tannin, and total catechins contents gradually decreased. Interestingly, the epicatechin and epigallocatechin contents increased up to 25 days of fermentation and then decreased. Change of the chemical constituents of all samples showed the same patterns. The antioxidant activity of MFT from Daecha and Yabukita slightly decreased as increasing fermentation time. However, the range over which the antioxidant activity of MFT from Korean wild cultivar and green tea were not changed. This research suggests that it may be possible to manufacturing possibility of MFT using Korean wild cultivar and processed green tea.

During the time period from 2010 to 2017, out of 162,551 blood specimens, 11,233 (6.9%) specimens were positive for culture and 11,865 strains were cultured. Among the isolates, 47.8% were Gram positive cocci, 38.8% were Gram negative rods, 4.2% were Gram positive bacilli, 6.8% were fungi and 2.3% were anaerobes. When the culture results were compared according to gender, 55.0% (2,732/4,969) of the isolates were found in males and 45.0% (2,237/4,969) were isolated in females. In addition, when categorized according to age group, people in their 70s were the most separated by 28.7% (1,426/4,969) and this showed a great difference from 1.2% (62/4,969) of people in their teens. MRSA decreased significantly from 66.7% in 2016 to 46.8% in 2017. The vancomycin resistance rate of E. faecium was 35.0% (48/137). The ESBL positive rate of E. coli in intestinal bacteria was increased from 17.2% in 2010 to 28.8% in 2017, but the positive rate decreased for K. pneumoniae. 11.8% (14/119) of multidrug-resistant P. aeruginosa (MDRPA) of P. aeruginosa and 64.3% (161/252) of MDRAB of A. baumannii showed high resistance. Because the microbial susceptibility and antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of the blood specimens isolated from all the blood specimens differ according to the time period, region and patients, periodic analyses of different pathogens and understanding the changes in the degree of susceptibility to antimicrobial susceptibility have been conducted in hospitals.

This study was carried out to investigate the physiochemical and microbiological changes of dandelion during fermentation. Thirty and fifty percentage raw sugar groups (SFE30 and SFE50) were introduced into dandelions and fermented for 120 days at $15-20^{\circ}C$. This study was conducted to investigate the utilization of sucrose on lactic acid bacteria from dandelions and their effect on the pH, titratable acidity, microorganism and formation of organic acids in dandelions during fermentation. The number of lactic acid bacteria increased remarkably up to 15 days of fermentation and then decreased rapidly thereafter. The maximum number of lactic acid bacteria, 7.9 log CFU/mL was reached at pH 4.17 and the pH of dandelion showed a slight decrease during fermentation and decreased steadily up to 90 days to reach an optimum pH of 4.0. The titratable acidity of dandelions fermented increased during fermentation. The concentration of organic acid, amino acid and free sugar in SFE30 was higher than both SFE50 and DWE. The results of dandelions fermented were remarkably retarded in the 50% raw sugar group compared to the 30% raw sugar group.

This study was conducted to elucidate degradation pattern of two synthetic pyrethroid insecticides, bifenthrin having 2-methylbiphenyl group and cyhalothrin having ${\alpha}$-cyano benzyl ester group in theirs alcohol moiety, in two soils and aqueous media under laboratory conditions. The half-life of bifenthrin was 85.1 days and 12,4 days in Chilgok and Bokhyen soil of aerobic upland condition, respectively, and that of cyhalothrin was 54.6 days and 32.2 days. Bifenthrin and cyhalothrin were degraded very slowly under anaerobic flooded condition and sterilized. Their degradation seemed to be mainly mediated by aerobic microorganisms in soil. Bifenthrin and cyhalothrin were degraded more rapidly in Bokhyen soil with rich organic matter than Chilgok soil. Cyhalothrin was degraded 30 days faster than bifenthrin under aerobic upland condition of two soils. Cyhalothrin was degraded more than bifenthrin in alkaline solution of pH 10, but cyhalothrin and bifenthrin were degraded very slowly in acidic solution of pH 2 and 6.

천수만의 수리 역학 및 수질 모델을 위하여 3차원 수리역학 모델(EFDC)과 21개 수질 변수에 대한 수질 모델이 접합된 3차원 수리역학-부영양화 모델(HEM-3D)을 이용하였다. 관측 자료에 대한 모델 검증 결과, 조위는 관측치에 비해 5% 정도, 유속은 10% 정도 작은 값을 보였으며, 지각은 모델 결과치가 고정항에서 늦고 간월도에서 빠르게 나타났다. 수질 항목, 특히 용존산소의 관측치에 나타난 전반적인 분포 양상을 잘 재현하고 있었으며, 항목별 기여도 분석에서는 수질 모델이 퇴적물에 의한 산소 소비에 민감하게 반응하고 있으며, 용존산소 변화에 있어서 퇴적물에 의한 영향이 중요한 역할을 하고 있음을 보여주었다. 본 모델 결과는 기존의 모델들과 비교하여 천수만 해역의 해수 유동 특성을 잘 재현하고 있으며, 본 모델과 연계된 수질 모델의 오염물 확산과 수질 항목들의 거동을 이해할 수 있는 정보를 제공하였다. 그럼에도 불구하고 본 연구를 통하여 나타난 문제점은, 수질 예측 모델에 필요한 수질 변수들의 관측 자료와 양식장에 의한 오염 부하량 자료가 충분하지 못하며, 퇴적물에 의한 수질 변화를 정량화할 수 있는 모델의 개발이 시급하다는 것이다. 특히 퇴적물에 의한 산소 요구량은 유기퇴적물이 미생물 등에 의해 분해되는 과정에서 요구되는 산소량으로서, 해수 유동 조건의 변화와 오염부하에 의한 유기퇴적물의 집적이 주된 요인이다. 방조제 건설 이후 해수유동 조건의 변화와 더불어 지속적으로 오염물이 유입되고, 담수 및 천수만의 수질이 점점 악화되고 있다. 따라서 이러한 오염부하와 퇴적물에 대한 관리대책이 시급한 것으로 판단되며, 향후 정확한 수질 예측을 위해서는 본 연구에서 나타난 문제점들에 대한 재고가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
