Using enrichment procedures, we isolated organic solvent-tolerant Bacillus sp. BCNU 5005 from waste water and soil in the Ulsan industrial plant region. BCNU 5005 had a maximum similarity of 98% with B. subtilis and was designated as B. subtilis based on phylogenetic analyses using 16S rDNA sequences. Generally, most bacteria and their enzymes are destroyed or inactivated in the presence of high concentrations of organic solvents. However, the lipase activity of B. subtilis BCNU 5005 was very stable in the presence of various kinds of solvents (25%, v/v) except chloroform, ethylbenzene and decane. Furthermore, BCNU 5005 was determined to have a degradative ability towards organic solvents. This organic solvent tolerant Bacillus sp. BCNU 5005 could be used as a new potential resource for biotransformation and bioremediation.

Antioxidative activity of various solvent extracts from freeze dried Kimchi was studied during the oxidation process of linoleic acid mixture system. The aqueous model systems were used for the evaluation of antioxidative activity of solvent extracts during the oxidative reaction at 37$^{\circ}C$ by the determination of peroxide value. The linoleic acid mixture for the aqueous model systems was consisted of linoleic acid (64.6%), oleic acid(27.4%), and other acids in ethanolic phosphate buffer (pH 7.0). Water and methanol extracts of Kimchi had a considerable antioxidative activity with the inhibition of peroxides formation during the autoxidation of linoleic acid mixture in aqueous model systems. Antioxidative activity of 75% methanol extract of 7 day-fermented-Kimchi was relatively higher than that of others, however lower than alpa-tocopherol and butylated hydroxyanisol. The antioxidative effect of 75% methanol extract of 7 day-fermented-Kimchi was increased by the its concentration from 0.5% to 2.5% in the oxidation reactions of aqueous model systems.

Various separation techniques of antimicrobial compounds from food materials have proven to be ineffective, involving liquid-liquid extraction and chromatography. We established efficient separation procedure for partially purifying antimicrobial compounds from Korean leek. Separation procedures consisted of ultrafiltration, liquid-liquid extraction, TLC and HPLC. Molecular weight of antimicrobial compounds were less than 5,000 dalton. Major compounds were propenyl methyl disulfide, S-methyl methylthiosulphonate and dimethyl disulfide.

연료전지 분리판은 연료, 공기, 수분이 흐를 수 있는 채널들이 포함되어 있으며, 전지들에 의해서 생산되는 전류를 흐르게 할 수 있는 전기전도성을 가져야 할 필요가 있다. 일반적인 금속판들은 연료전지 스택 내의 산성 분위기에 존재해야 하기 때문에 표면 부식이 쉽게 발생한다. 그라핀(graphene)은 우수한 전기전도성을 가지고 있을뿐만 아니라 물리화학적 내식성 및 내구성을 가지고 있어 연료전지 분리판으로서 응용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구에서는 일반적으로 널리 사용하고 있는 스테인리스강(stainless steel)을 모재로 사용하였으며, 그라핀을 전기분무법(electro spray coating)으로 코팅하여 스테인리스강의 내식성 및 전기전도성을 동시에 향상시키고자 하였다. 그라핀은 에탄올을 용매로 사용하여 분산하였으며, 분산제로 소량의 다이페닐다이에톡시실란(diphenyldiethoxysilane)을 첨가하여 코팅용액을 제작하였다. 코팅공정은 15kV 전압을 가하여 1시간동안 코팅을 진해하였으며, 그라핀-스테인리스강 모재의 미세구조를 전자현미경과 광학현미경을 통하여 관찰하였다. 또한 X-선 회절분석법을 이용하여 그라핀의 결정구조를 분석하였다. 한편 스택의 내부와 유사한 산화성 분위를 모사하기 위해 $80^{\circ}C$의 0.1N $H_2SO_4+2ppm\;F^-$ 용액에서 내식성 실험을 수행하였고, 면간접촉저항도 측정하였다. 그라핀이 코팅된 스테인리스강 시편은 고분자전해질 연료전지 분리판의 요구조건을 만족하였으며, 연료전지 분리판으로서의 적용가능성을 확인하였다.

The polyurethane foam impregnated with 5, 7-dibromo-8-hydroxyquinoline (DBHQ) has been studied to be applied to the quantitative adsorption and recovery of Hg(II) from the aqueous solutions. The adsorption of Hg(II) by DBHQ-OPP foam is due to the chelation between DBHQ-OPP foam and Hg(II) on the foam, forming each colored insoluble chelate with 1:2 mole ratio. The optimum experimental conditions for the adsorption of Hg(II) has been determined. The quantitative recovery of Hg(II) adsorption by the OPP foam and reuse of DBHQ-OPP foam were investigated. Hypothesis on the adsorption and separation mechanism of Hg(II) and DBHQ to the polyurethane foam was proposed.

For the screening of new-functional and specific exopolysaccharide, a bacterium strain was isolated from soil through the two steps of screening. The isolated bacterium was identified as Bacillus polymyxa KS-1 according to the criteria of morphological, physiological, and chemical taxonomic analyses. The exopolysaccharide was composed of glucose:galactose: mannose and galactosamine in an approximate molar ratio of 1.00:0.36:1.02:1.10. The produced exopolysaccharide by Bacillus polymyxa KS-1 was found to be revealed new acidic polysaccharide which did not contain pentose, ketose, starch, and uronic acid.

혈관내에서의 비정상적인 혈소판의 활성화는 혈소판 응괴 또는 혈전 형성을 초래함으로서 동맥경화증, 심근 경색증, 혈전중등의 허혈성 질환의 발현에 직접 또는 간접적인 원인으로서 주목되고 있다. 본 연구자 등은 천연물로부터 혈소판 응집억제작용 물질의 개발을 목표로 하여 한약 또는 민간약의 형태로서 관련질환에 사용되어온 식물생약 약 40종을 검색하였으며 이들중 혈소판 응집억제작용을 갖는 식물로부터 작용 물질의 분리를 계속하여 오고있다. 본 실험에서는 작약을 메타놀로 추출하고 작용을 추적하면서 용매로 분획하였으며, 작용분획인 Et0Ac fr.으로부터 methyl gallate를 분리하였다. Methyl gallate는 오가피로부터 작용성분으로서 이미 분리 보고된 protocatechuic acid 및 artifact인 ethyl protocatechuate와 구조적으로 매우 유사하여 이들 analogs 수종에 대하여 작용을 비교 검색하였다.

Antioxidant activity of gingerol, a component of ginger, was studied in ${\beta}-carotene-linoleic$ acid-water emulsion system. Crude gingerol extracted from ginger was separated and purified by thin-layer chromatography (TLC) into two bands. The two bands were identified as 6- and 10-gingerol by color reactions on TLC plate, acid dehydration reaction, infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry. The antioxidant activity of gingerols (mixture of 6- and 10-gingerol) separated from ginger was remarkable, but lower than that of BHA or BHT.
