In the submerged fermentation of fungi, it was known pH had significant effect on the citric acid production. Various growth conditions were applied with different buffer on citric acid production by Aspergillus niger NRRL 567 grown on peat moss to find the optimum pH and most effective buffer solution. The initial pHs of different buffer solutions significantly influenced on the citric acid production and A. niger NRRL 567 produced citric acid more efficiently at high pHs. A phosphate buffer and a carbonate buffer with pH 8.6 and pH 10.0 were identified as suitable buffer solutions for citric acid production. The maximal citric acid production of 564.3 g/kg solid substrate was achieved employing carbonate buffer at pH 10.0.

Bioglass 조성 중 45S5 (46.1SiO$_2$.24.4$Na_2$O.26.9CaO.2.6P$_2$O$_{5}$ : 몰비)를 기본 조성으로 하여 46P4 (46.2SiO$_2$.49.5CaO.4.3P$_2$O$_{5}$ : 몰비), 46SF (46.1SiO$_2$24.4$Na_2$O.16.1CaO.2.6P$_2$O$_{5}$.10.8CaF : 몰비) 그리고 55SF (55.1SiO$_2$.9.2$Na_2$O.27.8CaO.3.4P$_2$O$_{5}$.4.5CaF : 몰비)를 제조하여 tris-완충용액 및 유사 생체용액(simulated body fluid)에서 반응시킨 후 생체활성유리의 표면에 생성되는 아파타이트 결정형에 관하여 연구하였다. 45S5 유리를 tris-완충용액에 반응시켰을 경우 6시간 반응시부터 수산화 아파타이트가 생성되었으나 유사 생체용액에 반응시켰을 경우에는 24시간까지도 수산화 아파타이트 결정이 생성되지 못하고 비정질 상태의 칼슘 인산염만 형성되었다. tris-완충용액에 각 조성의 유리를 200시간 반응시킨 경우 불소를 함유하지 않은 유리에서는 잎사귀 모양의 수산화 아파타이트가, 불소를 함유한 유리에서는 구상의 플루오르 아파타이트가 형성되었다. 그러나 유사 생체용액에 각 조성의 유리를 200시간 반응시켰을 경우 불소를 함유하지 않은 유리에서는 누에고치형의 수산화 아파타이트가 형성되었고 불소를 함유한 유리에서는 무정형의 칼슘 인산염이 생성되었다.

It was investigated into the effects on zinc corrosion of the rotation speed of Zn-RDE and the oxygen concentration in borate buffer solution. Zinc corrosion was heavily influenced on the rotation speed of electrode and the oxygen concentration. We have suggested the disproportion reaction following the reversible one electron transfer as the corrosion mechanism of zinc.

Background: We attempted to reproduce a previously reported method that is known to be effective for decellularization, and we sought to find the optimal condition for decellularization by introducing some modifications to this method. Material and Method: Porcine semilunar valves, arterial walls and pericardium were processed for decellularization with using a variety of combinations and concentrations of decellularizing agents under different conditions of temperature, osmolarity and incubation time. The degree of decellularization and the preservation of the extracellular matrix were evaluated by staining with hematoxylin and eosin and with alpha-Gal and DAPI in some of the decellularized tissues. Result: Decellularization was achieved in the specimens that were treated with sodium deoxycholate, sodium dodesyl sulfate, Triton X-100 and sodium dodesyl sulfate with Triton X-100 as single-step methods, and this was also achieved in the specimens that were treated with hypotonic solution ${\rightarrow}$ Triton X-100 ${\rightarrow}$ sodium dodesyl sulfate, sodium deoxycholate ${\rightarrow}$ hypotonic solution ${\rightarrow}$ sodium dodesyl sulfate, and hypotonic solution sodium dodesyl sulfate as multi-step methods. Conclusion: Considering the number and the amount of the chemicals that were used, the incubation time and the degree of damage to the extracellular matrix, a single-step method with sodium dodesyl sulfate and Triton X-100 and a multi-step method with hypotonic solution followed by sodium dodesyl sulfate were both relatively optimal methods for decellularization in this study.

Bicarbonate 완충용액에서 Co-RDE를 이용하여 RDE 회전속도와 완충용액 속의 염화이온이 Co의 부식과 부동화에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다. Co-RDE의 회전속도가 부식에 미치는 영향은 Levich 식과 일치하였으며 부동화 막을 파괴하는데 염화이온의 효과가 큼을 알 수 있었다. 혼합 전위 이론을 사용하여 대류확산 조건에서 회전속도의 증가에 따라 부식전위가 양의 방향으로 증가하는 모형을 발견하였다. Tafel 영역에서 Co의 용해반응과 수소가 발생하는 환원반응은 전하이동과 물질이동을 이용하여 설명할 수 있었다.

The anodic dissolution of electrodeposited iron group elements (Fe, Co, Ni) were studied in phthalate buffer solution. The pH dependence of the corrosion potential, the corrosion current and Tafel slope was measured for each element. Based on the electrochemical parameters including Tafel slopes, we proposed the redox mechanism of the corrosion and the passivation. The adsorption of various phthalate species on the electrodeposited iron group elements seemed to be affected the corrosion mechanisms.

Reduction of chromate ion at the Pt-electrode was investigated in neutral unbuffered solutions, in buffered solutions of pH between 8 and 10, and in strongly alkaline medium. In buffered solutions of pH between 8 and 10, the number of electrons transfered in the reduction of chromate ion increased progressively with increasing pH. When chromate ion was reduced in 0.2 N sodium hydroxide medium the following mechanism was suggested: $CrO_4^=+H_2O+2e{\rightarrow}CrO_3^=+2OH^-,\;CrO_3^=3H_2O+e{\rightarrow}Cr(OH)_3+3OH^-$ When tetramethylammonium hydroxide (pH=13.5) was used as the supporting electrolyte, a second wave indicated strong adsorption. In unbuffered solutions of 0.1 N potassium chloride the linear sweep voltammogram consists of three or four distinct waves depending on the initial voltage and the voltage sweep rates, but the first wave was difficult to explain as a diffusion controlled wave.

Coprinus cinereus peroxidase (CiP) was often used as a catalyst for oxidative polymerization of a variety of phenol derivatives to produce a new class of polyphenols. Economical point of view, to know the mechanism of enzyme deactivation is significantly important because cost of enzyme is critically high. Hydrogen peroxide being used as oxidizing agent induced deactivation of peroxidase by destruction of heme structure. In the presence of hydrogen peroxide the stability of peroxidase was unexpectedly improved by adding organic solvent. Especially 2-propanol significantly improved enzyme stability among tested solvents. Radical scavenging by organic solvents may play a major role in protecting peroxidase from the oxidation of oxidizing radicals.

The electrochemical corrosion and passivation of Co-RDE in borate buffer solution was studied by Potentiodynamic and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The mechanisms of both the active dissolution and passivation of cobalt and the hydrogen evolution in reduction reaction were hypothetically established while utilizing the Tafel slope, the rotation speed of Co-RDE, impedance data and the pH dependence of corrosion potential. Based on the EIS data, an equivalent circuit was suggested. In addition, the electrochemical parameters for specific anodic dissolution regions were carefully measured. An induction loop in Nyquist plot measured at the open-circuit potential was observed in the low frequency, and this could be attributed to the adsorption-desorption behavior in the corrosion process.
