The analysis of functional population and its dynamics on the environment is essential for understanding bioremediation in environment. Here, we report a method for oligonucleotide microarray for the monitoring of aliphatic and aromatic degradative genes. This microarray contained 15 unique and group-specific probes which were based on 100 known genes involved pathways in biodegradation. Hybridization specificity tests with pure cultures, strain Pseudomonas aeruginosa KCTC 1636 indicated that the designed probes on the arrays appeared to be specific to their corresponding target genes. It was found that the presence of 8 genes encoding alkane, naphthalene, biphenyl, pyrene (PAH ring-hydroxylating) degradation pathway could be detected in oil contaminated soil sample. Therefore, the findings of this study strongly suggest that oligonucleotide microarray is an effective diagnostic tool for evaluating biodegradation capability in oil contaminated subsurface environment.

국제해사기구는 선박평형수를 통한 수중생물의 이동을 막기 위해, 2004년 선박평형수와 침전물 통제 및 관리를 위한 국제협약을 채택하였으며 2015년 5월12일 현재 73개의 처리장치가 최종승인을 받았거나 진행중이다. 선박평형수 처리기술은 전기분해, 오존식, 자외선식 등 여러 기술이 개발되었으나 비용 및 효율면에서 전기분해방식이 타 방식에 비하여 좋고 간접식과 직접식으로 나누어지며 직접식이 간접식에 비해 우수하다. 본 논문에서는 직접식 전기분해 장치를 이용한 선박평형수 처리시스템 개발에 관해 연구하였다.

In this study, the effects of biofilter media type (three different activated carbons and anthracite), empty bed contact time (EBCT) and temperature on the removal of four aldehyde species (formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, glyoxal and methylglyoxal) in BAC filters were investigated. Experiments were conducted at three water temperature (5, 15 and $25^{\circ}C$) and four EBCTs (5, 10, 15, and 20 min). The experimental results indicated that the coal based BAC retained more bacterial biomass on the surface of the activated carbon than the other BACs, and increasing EBCT or increasing water temperature also increased the four aldehyde species removal in BAC filters. To achieve above 80% of removal efficiency for four aldehyde species in a BAC filter, above 15 min EBCT at $5^{\circ}C$ and 10 min EBCT at above $15^{\circ}C$ were required. The kinetic analysis indicated a first-order reaction rate for the biodegradation of four aldehyde species at various water temperatures. Data obtained from the BAC filters at various temperatures were also used to evaluate pseudo first-order rate constants for four aldehyde species. The half-lives evaluated for formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, glyoxal and methylglyoxal in the coal-based BAC ranging from 0.89 to 3.19 min, from 0.75 to 3.35 min, from 2.16 to 4.72 min and from 1.49 to 3.86 min, respectively, could be used to assist water utilities in designing and operating BAC filters.

Through the PVA degrading test, 8 species of microbes were finally isolated, and two species among them were identified. To search PVA degrading rate by using 8 species of microbes, single species of microbes and combination of each species were tested. As a result, single species of microbes showed 96% of PVA degrading rate, and the similar result was obtained by using combination of two species. And 78% of PVA degrading rate was obtained by using enzyme which was secreted from good PVA degrading microbes. As a result of identification, this good PVA degrading microbes were Paenibacillus sp. and Microbacterium barkeri.

화학 반응은 원자나 분자가 서로 작용하여 결합이 분해되거나 생성되는 동적인 과정이다. 일반적으로 이러한 동적인 과정은 매우 빠른 시간 내에 일어나기 때문에 (보통수 펨토초에서 수 피코초 내에 일어난다) 화학 반응 도중에 나타나는 중간체(transient structure)의 구조 변화나 분자의 움직임을 실시간으로 잡기 위해서는 매우 높은 시간 분해능이 필요하다. 이러한 중간체의 구조 동역학(structural dynamics)은 그 대상이 되는 분자의 화학적/생물적 기능에 매우 중요한 정보를 제공하기 때문에 실시간 분자 동역학 연구는 복잡한 화학적/생물적 시스템의 메커니즘 규명 연구에 필수적이라고 할 수 있다.

열건조식 음식물쓰레기 처리기에서 발생하는 VOC의 분해효율을 향상시키기 위하여 생물여과기를 이용하여 실험하였다. 현장 생물여과기에서 배출되는 휘발성 물질은 총 50여 가지 물질이 검출되었다. 주요 악취 유발물질은 isoprene, dimethyl sulfide (DMS), dimethyl disulfide (DMDS), limonene 등으로 파악되었다. 칼럼 반응기를 이용한 휘발성 물질 분해는 20일 정도의 적응기 후 제거되었으며, 제거 효율은 90% 이상으로 나타났다.

To evaluate the effects of microorganism agents on oil biodegradation, treatability and microcosm studies were conducted. Petroleum oil degrading bacteria were isolated from enriched cultures of oil-contaminated sediment samples using a mineral salts medium (MSM) containing 0.5% Arabian heavy crude oil as the sole carbon source. After a 5 day-incubation period using MSM, mixed microorganisms of three species (strains BS1, BS2 and BS4) degraded 48.4% of aliphatic hydrocarbons and 30.5% of aromatic hydrocarbons. Treatability and microcosm tests were performed in the three different treatment conditions (AO: Arabian heavy crude oil, AO+IN: Arabian heavy crude oil+inorganic nutrient, AO+IN+MM: Arabian heavy crude oil+inorganic nutrient+mixed microorganism agents). Among these, significantly enhanced biodegradation of aliphatic hydrocarbons were observed in AO+IN and AO+IN+MM conditions, without showing any different biodegradation rates in either condition. However, the degradation rates of aromatic hydrocarbons in an AO+IN+MM condition were increased by 50% in the treatability test and by 13% in the microcosm test compared to those in an AO+IN condition. Taken together, it can be concluded that mixed microorganism agents enhance the biodegradation of aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons in laboratory, a treatability test, and a microcosm test. This agent could especially be a useful tool in the application of bioremediation for removal of aromatic hydrocarbons.

To separate BTX degrading microorganisms, four kinds of activated sludges were obtained from waste water treatment plants and VOC generating plants, and adjusted 500 mg/L of BTX for three months. Y consortia degraded benzene and toluene in either individual or mixed compounds fast whereas A consortia degraded p-, m-, o-xylene fast.
