종이 펄프 공장의 폐수는 다른 공업에 비해서 폐수량이 많고 오염도가 높다. 목재로부터 종이를 제조하는 경우에 수율은 종이의 종류와 제법에 의해 큰 차이가 있어서 한마디로 말하기는 어렵지만 평균 50~70%로 보는 경우, 목재 성분의 30~50%는 용해 또는 SS의 상태로 폐수중에 존재하기 때문에, 이들이 직접 하천이나 바다에 방류되면 오염의 원인이 된다. 그 때문에 각 공장에서는 목재자원의 종합적인 이용의 입장으로서 제품의 수율을 좋게 하고 동시에 폐수의 양을 감소시키고 폐수에서 유용한 자원을 회수하거나 증해약품의 회수 등을 위하여 연구 및 노력을 계속하고 있는 것이 현 상태이다. 우리 나라의 거의 모든 제지회사에서는 물리적, 화학적 처리법과 생물학적 처리법 중 호기성 처리방법이 주 처리방법으로 사용되고 있으며 탈묵 폐수나 리그닌을 다량 함유하는 폐수의 경우에는 혐기성 처리방법을 이용하기도 한다. 본 실험에서는 우유팩을 재생하여 화장지 제조의 원료로 이용하는 G제지공장의 폐수를 이용하였고, 공장의 원폐수를 부상법으로 1차 처리한 처리수를 실험실로 운반하여 활성슬러지법으로 실험하였다. 처리효율의 영향인자인 HRT를 G제지공장에 맞추어 12시간으로 조정하고 적절한 F/M비(0.23)를 위해 COD와 MLSS가 유지된 후부터 실험을 시작했다. $20^{\circ}C{\sim}560^{\circ}C$까지 $10^{\circ}C$간격으로 온도를 변화시키면서 미생물의 상태변화를 관찰하고, 또한 각 용도에서의 처리수질을 비교해 보았다. 실험조건은 pH는 중성상태(6.5~7.5), DO는 $2{\sim}4mg/{\ell}$, 영양원은 BOD : N : P = 100 : 5 : 1로 맞추고 BOD, COD, SS, SVI를 측정하였으며, 현미경을 통하여 미생물과 Floc를 관찰하였다. $20^{\circ}C$부터 종균제를 초기 운전시 $200mg/{\ell}$ (분말상)을 폭기조에 투여하고 매일 $200mg/{\ell}$를 정기적으로 투입하여 온도변화에 따른 미생물의 상태 및 처리수질을 비교해보았다. 특히 종균제로는 기존의 G제G지공장에서 사용하는 신일 미생물(Bio sound S)종균제와 청림C&C의 종균제(Cell bio P)를 비교 관찰하였다. 고온성 종균제를 두배 투입하여 투입량에 대한 처리효율을 비교하였으며 종균제를 사용하지 않고 운용함으로써 그 차이도 비교할 수 있었다.

Generation of gaseous ammonia has been a major problem in composting facilities. Microbial inocula. KMT-199(brand name: CompoBac$^{TM}$). was developed in INBI0NET CORPORATION and tested in the field for its ammonia reducing capability. When KMT-199 was applied. a ten-fold increase of mesophilic and thermophilic microorganisms was observed during the early stage of composting process. Also. the temperature and pH of early stage compost increased at a higher rate when compared to control. KMT-199 treated compost reached highest temperature of $75^{\circ}C$at day 9, indicating treatment could shift the maximum composting temperature to 3 days earlier The highest temperature also reached $3^{\circ}C$ higher than the control. The pH of compost gradually increased during composting. KMT-199 treated compost reached a plateau of pH 9.32 at day 15 after treatment, and then slowly decreased thereafter. On the other hand. pH of the control steadily increased until day 38 of composting. 29% reduction of gaseous ammonia generation during composting was observed compared to that of the control. KMT-199 amended compost resulted in a higher germination rate of radish seeds than the control. These results indicate that application of microbial inocula facilitates degradation of organic materials, including ammonia during the composting process.

국내외 환경문제와 관련하여 농업환경보전 및 안전한 먹거리에 대한 소비자의 요구가 커지면서 친환경농업에 대한 관심이 높이지고 있다. 친환경농업은 화학비료와 농약의 사용을 양분종합관리 및 병해충종합관리등을 통해 저투입하는 농법과 화학비료와 농약의 대체 농자재를 사용하는 유기농법으로 나누어져 있다. 대체 농자재는 목초액, 키토산 등 시판되는 자재를 비롯하여 천혜녹즙, 한방영양제, 아미노산액비 등과 같이 농가를 중심으로 자가 제조되어 활용되고 있는 것이 특징이다. 그러나 대부분 효능이 제대로 검증되지 않고 임의로 사용되고 있기 때문에 본 연구는 농가 자가제조 유기농액비의 미생물학적 특성을 구명하여 유기농 액비의 농업적 활용 제고를 위한 표준화를 확립하기 위해 수행하였다. 농가자가 제조 유기농액비는 성환과 제주에서 5점을 수집하여 액비의 화학성과 미생물상을 비교하였다. 액비 제조시 종균으로 사용되고 있는 부엽토를 5지역에서 채취하여 세균군집의 차이를 보기위해 denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE)를 수행하여 분석하였다. 주요 결과를 요약하면 수집된 액비의 화학성 분석결과, pH는 3.3~4.3로 강한 산성을 나타났으며 EC는 $32.8dS{\cdot}m^{-1}{\sim}552.33dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$ 이었다. 수집된 액비내 미생물상을 조사한 결과, 세균과 방선균은 존재하였지만 사상균은 검출되지 않았다 또한 성환에서 수집된 액비로부터 세균을 분리하여 16S rRNA 염기서열을 분석한 결과, 대부분 Bacillus속으로 95%이상의 높은 유사성을 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 액비 발효 시 종균으로 사용되고 있는 부엽토의 미생물상을 조사한 결과, 지역에 따라 세균은 0.8~$110{\times}10^5cfu{\cdot}g^{-1}$, 방선균은 1.0~$10.9{\times}10^4cfu{\cdot}g^{-1}$, 그리고 사상균은 2.6~$64{\times}10^3cfu{\cdot}g^{-1}$의 균수를 보였다. 부엽토간의 세균군집의 차이를 비교하기 위해 DGGE를 수행한 결과, gel 상에서 다양한 위치의 밴드를 확인할 수 있으며, 부엽토별로 공통적 및 특이적 밴드를 확인할 수 있었다.

Kimchi was prepared with three types of salt (4-year-aged solar salt, FS; 1-year-aged solar salt, OS; and purified salt, PS), using Leuconostoc citreum GJ7 as the starter culture. The prepared kimchi was fermented (up to 0.5-0.6% of acidity) and stored for 5 months at $-1^{\circ}C$. During the storage period, the acidity of FS kimchi increased gradually, whereas that of PS kimchi increased sharply. The yellowness (b) color value of PS kimchi (63.4) was higher than that of other kimchis with solar salts (55.6-60.3). Hardness of FS kimchi (1,912.6 gf) was greater than that of the other kimchis (1,554.4-1,650.2 gf) during the storage period. Moreover, sensory evaluation showed higher scores for FS kimchi than for other kimchis. These results suggest that FS is more suitable salt than PS for long-term storage of kimchi.

A single phase composter was constructed by modifying the conventional mixer of sawdust for the cultivation of oyster mushroom Pleurotus ostreatus. The machine was designed on the basis of 3-phase-1 system which was controlled in prewetting, pasteurization and fermentation processes. In composting 200 kg of straw and cotton waste in the machine, it took 20 minutes in prewetting step and also to hours at $65^{\circ}C$ in pasteurization process. Postfermentation by aerothermophiles was completed by treating the compost at $45^{\circ}C-50^{\circ}C$ for 48 hours which was shorten 24 hours from the conventional method. In the postfermentation at high temperature, forced aeration and/or vigorous mixing process(es) played a great role in the improvement of spawn quality. The growth of mycelium of oyster mushroom was excellent in the culture combinated with 3 parts of surface inoculation and 7 parts of mechanical mixing.

A study was conducted to improve the biological activity of two medicinal plants, Eucommia ulmoides Oliv. and Glycyrrhiza uralensis, by fermentation. The biological activity was assessed by determining antibacterial, antioxidant and antimethanogenic properties. Fermentation was achieved by adding the plant materials in MRS broth at 10% (w/v) and different starter cultures at 1% (v/v). Condition for fermentation were incubation temperature of $30^{\circ}C$ and agitation at 150 rpm for 48 h. Six starter cultures, Weissella confusa NJ28 (Genbank accession number KJ914897), Weissella cibaria NJ33 (Genbank accession number KJ914898), Lactobacillus curvatus NJ40 (Genbank accession number KJ914899), Lactobacillus brevis NJ42 (Genbank accession number KJ914900), Lactobacillus plantarum NJ45 (Genbank accession number KJ914901) and Lactobacillus sakei NJ48 (Genbank accession number KJ914902) were used. Antibacterial activity was observed in L. curvatus NJ40 and L. plantarum NJ45 only as opposed to other treatments, including the non-fermented groups, which showed no antibacterial activity. Both plants showed antioxidant activity, although E. ulmoides Oliv. had lower activity than G. uralensis. However, fermentation by all strains significantly improved (p<0.05), antioxidant activity in both plants compared to non-fermented treatment. Six treatments were based on antibacterial activity results, selected for in vitro rumen fermentation; 1) non-fermented E. ulmoides, 2) fermented E. ulmoides NJ40, 3) fermented E. ulmoides NJ45, 4) non-fermented G. uralensis, 5) fermented G. uralensis NJ40, 6) fermented G. uralensis NJ45. A negative control was also added, making a total of 7 treatments for the in vitro experiment. Medicinal plant-based treatments significantly improved (p<0.05) total volatile fatty acid (VFA) concentration. Significant methane reduction per mol of VFA were observed in G. uralensis (p<0.05). Based on the present study, fermentation improves the biological activity of E. ulmoides Oliv. and G. uralensis. Fermented G. uralensis could also be applied as an enteric methane mitigating agent in ruminant animals.

The present study was conducted to investigate effective starter culture to improve biological activity of Asarum sieboldii. Antibacterial activity, antioxidant activity and reduction of enteric rumen methane production were used as criterions for biological activity. Ground A. sieboldii was added in MRS broth at 10% (w/v) and fermented by different starter cultures. Weissella confusa NJ28, Weissella cibaria NJ33, Lactobacillus curvatus NJ40, Lactobacillus brevis NJ42, Lactobacillus plantarum NJ45 and Lactobacillus sakei NJ48 were used for starter culture strains. Each starter culture was inoculated with 1% (v/v) ratio and fermentation was performed at $30^{\circ}C$ with agitation (150 rpm) for 48 h. MRS broth for the control was employed without starter culture. Then the fermentation growth was dried and extracted using ethyl alcohol. The growth of starter culture was detected at NJ40, NJ42, NJ45 and NJ48. And the highest cell growth was found in NJ40. Antibacterial activity against to Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria monocytogens, Mannheimia haemolytica and Salmonella gallinarum were observed in the extract fermented by NJ40 and NJ45. All treatments showed antioxidant activities, however, there were no significant differences (p>0.05). In in vitro rumen fermentation, negative control (NC) and positive control (PC) were assigned to without extract and with non-fermented A. sieboldii extract. Significant suppression of gas productions were detected in positive control and treatments compared to negative control (p<0.05). However, total volatile fatty acid production was not suppressed. Significant methane reduction per total volatile fatty acid productions were found in positive control and NJ45 treatment (p<0.05). The present study suggested a fermentation of A. sieboldii using NJ45 strain could improve its biological activity and make possible for its use in bio additive for enteric rumen methane mitigation without suppression of animal productivity.
