Recently sewage facilities mainly consisted of concrete structures are being deteriorated seriously by biochemical reaction originated from sulfur-oxidizing bacteria. To prevent biochemical corrosion of the sewage concrete, antibiotics which inhibit growth of sulfur-oxidizing bacteria have to be developed and applied necessarily. In this study, we are going to introduce technology which biochemical corrosion of sewage facilities concrete could be controlled effectively by antibiosis of antimicrobial concrete

Recently sewage facilities mainly consisted of concrete structures are being deteriorated seriously by biodeterioration originated from sulfur-oxidizing bacteria. In this study, to prevent biochemical corrosion of the sewer concrete, antibiotics which prevent growth of sulfur-oxidizing bacteria were developed and antimicrobial performance of it was investigated. After that, to consider applicability of antibiotics to concrete, physical properties of concrete covered with antibiotics were investigated. As a results of the study, it was proved that the antimicrobial performance of antibiotics was available. Also compressive strength and bond strength of concrete didn't closely connected with antibiotics, and resistance to abrasion, water absorption, air permeability, carbonation, salt damage and chemical attack of concrete was improved remarkably by covering with it.

In this study, to prevent biochemical corrosion of the sewer concrete, antibiotics which prevent growth of sulfur-oxidizing bacteria were developed and antimicrobial performance of it was investigated. After that, to consider applicability of antibiotics to concrete, physical properties of concrete spread with antibiotics were investigated. As a results of the study, it was proved that the antimicrobial performance of antibiotics was available. Also compressive strength and bond strength of concrete didn't closely connected with antibiotics, and resistance to abrasion, water absorption and air permeability of concrete was improved remarkably by spraying with it.

In this study, an antibiosis of antimicrobial mortar developed to reduce biochemical corrosion of sewage facilities concrete was evaluated. First, artificial acceleration test reflecting similarly biochemical corrosion of mortar was developed. Antimicrobial mortar specimen were experimented in this test and antibiosis of it was evaluated by SEM and EDX. As a results of the study, sulfur-oxidizing bacteria on the plain specimen were survived for 20 weeks in this test. But sulfur-oxidizing bacteria on antimicrobial specimen were survived less than the plain, and sulfur-oxidizing bacteria were externally distorted and destroyed. So the antibiosis of an antimicrobial mortar was verified by it.

To analyze the growth of SOB (Thiobacillus novellus) and biochemical corrosion of concrete, simulation test method and device were developed. And two types of simulation tests were conducted according to a transplant method and a concentration of H2SO4. As a result, the SOB growth in distinct manners and antibiosis of specimen were observed. In the case of the specimens indirectly transplanted with SOB through culture solution submersion at a hydrogen sulfide level of 120ppm, the rapid activation of SOB and the resulting sulfuric acid production were observed. However, SOB were shown to grow rapidly and then die out in a relative short period of time. Meanwhile, in the case of the specimens directly transplanted with SOB at a hydrogen sulfide level of 50ppm, the long-term growth of SOB was possible, but the production of sulfuric acid by SOB did not progress. In the case of the antibiotic metal-mixed specimens, SOB with destroyed cell membranes and internal organizations were observed.

To analyze the growth of SOB(Thiobacillus novellus) and biochemical corrosion of concrete, simulation test method and device were developed, and basic conditions for SOB growth were established. Two types of simulation tests were conducted according to a transplant method and a concentration of $H_2SO_4$. As a result, the SOB growth in distinct manners and antibiosis of specimen were observed. In the case of the specimens indirectly transplanted with SOB through culture solution submersion at a hydrogen sulfide level of 120 ppm, the rapid activation of SOB and the resulting sulfuric acid production were observed. However, SOB were shown to grow rapidly and then die out in a relative short period of time.

In this study, researches for the development of antibiotics and antimicrobial concrete were conducted to reduce biochemical corrosion of sewage concrete. First of all, desired performance, such as watertightness, antibiosis, homogeneity, workability and harmlessness, was proposed and performance of antibiotics and antimicrobial concrete were evaluated by them. As results of this study, dispersibility and antibiosis of liquid antibiotics superior to powdery antibiotics. Antibiosis of antimicrobial concrete was verified, and amount of elution of harmful and effective ingredients was little. In workability, setting time of antimicrobial concrete was delayed. Compressive strength and resistance to carbonation of antimicrobial concrete were more increased than ordinary concrete. Also, as little pore volume and closed structure of antimicrobial concrete were observed, watertightness of it was verified. Finally artificial accelerating test for biochemical corrosion was proposed, and its suitability was experimentally proved.

형상기억합금(SMA : Shape Memory Alloy)은 일반적인 금속이나 합금에서는 찾아볼 수 없는 형상기억효과(shape memory effect)와 초탄성 (superelasticity) 거동을 보이고 있다. 이러한 특성은 1951년에 금-카드뮴(Au-Cd) 합금에서 처음으로 발견되었으며, 1963년에 미국 해군병기연구소(Naval Ordnance Laboratory)에서 니켈-티타늄 (Ni-Ti) 합금에서 형상기억효과를 발견한 후로 널리 상용화되었다. 니티놀(nitinol)이라고 불려지는 니켈-티타늄 계열의 형상기억합금은 단위 부피당 많은 에너지를 낼 수 있고, 내 부식성(corrosion resistance)과 생화학적 적합성(bio-compatibility)이 뛰어나다. 또한 100,000사이클 이상의 긴 사용수명을 갖기 때문에 작동기(actuator)로서 우수한 특징을 갖는다.

Five strains of gram-negative and yellow-pigmented bacteria were recently isolated from diseased freshwater fishes in Korea. All isolates were confirmed as a known fish pathogen of columnaris disease, Cytophaga columnaris based on their colonial and cellular morphology, and on physiological, biochemical and antigenic characteristics. Although the isolates were from different fish species, their characteristics of them were very similar to those of the reference strains of C columnaris (NCMB $2248^T$ and EK 28). Also, profiles of OMPs of Korean isolates were similar to those of the reference strain, C columnaris NCMB $2248^T$ when analyzed by SDS-PAGE.
