To provide the information for the wetland management considering the water treatment ability of macrophytes, the growth characteristics and primary production by reed (Phragmites australis) and cattail (Typha angustifolia), and the decomposition rate of organic matter produced were investigated in two sub-wetlands (Banweol and Donhwa wetlands) of the Sihwa Constructed Wetland (CW) with different chemistry of inflows. The shoot height of P. australis and Typha angustifolia began to increase in March, and reached its peaks in July and August (340cm and 320cm, respectively). The shoot density of P. australis ranging $100{\sim}170EA/m^2$ was higher than that of T. angustifolia (max. $78EA/m^2$). Standing biomass of P. australis ranged from $1,350{\sim}1,980gDM/m^2$, with maximal biomass in Banwol Upper Wetland. And it was larger in upper wetlands than lower wetlands. On the other hand standing biomass of T. angustifolia ($1,940gDM/m^2$) was similar to that of P. australis in Banwol Upper Wetland. Primary productivity of P. australis was in the order of Banwol Upper Wetland ($2,050gDM/m^2/yr$) > Donghwa Lower Wetland ($1,840gDM/m^2/yr$) > Banwol Lowerr Wetland ($1,570gDM/m^2/yr$) ${\fallingdotseq}$ Donghwa Lower Wetland ($1,540gDM/m^2/yr$), and that of T. angustifolia ($2,210gDM/m^2/yr$) was higher than P. australis. Annual production of organic matter produced by P. australis and T. angustifolia was 845 ton DM/yr (423 ton C/yr), and about 90% was comprised of that by P. australis. From the litter decomposition rate (k) (P. australis: leaf 0.0062/day, stem 0.0018/day; T. angustifolia: leaf 0.0031/day, stem 0.0018/day), leaf was rapid degraded compare to stem in both P. australis and T. angustifolia. The litter decomposition rate of leaf was two times rapid P. australis than T. angustifolia, whereas that of stem was same in both. Annual litter decomposition amount of P. australis than T. angustifolia was 285 ton C/yr(67.3% of organic matter produced by macrophytes), indicating that 32.7% of organic matter produced by macrophytes is accumulated in the Sihwa CW.

While a fairly large amount of organic matter is produced daily via phytoplankton photosynthesis in Lake Paldang, South Korea, knowledge of the role of algal-derived organic matter (OM) as a refractory OM source is not adequate. To understand the contribution of algal-derived OM to the refractory pool, biodegradation experiment and $KMnO_4$ oxidation experiment were conducted for 60 days using $^{13}C$ and $^{15}N$ labeled natural phytoplankton assemblage. The assemblage was collected from Lake Paldang on May 20, 2010. The photosynthetically produced total organic carbon ($TO^{13}C$), particulate organic carbon ($PO^{13}C$), and particulate nitrogen ($P^{15}N$) remained at 26%, 20%, and 17% of the initial concentrations, respectively, in the form of non-biodegradable organic matter. In addition, 12% and 38% of $PO^{13}C$ remained after $KMnO_4$ treatment on Day 0 and 60, respectively. These results indicate that photosynthetic products could be an important source of refractory organic matter after microbial degradation. Moreover, the microbially transformed algal-derived OM could contribute to the oxidation rate of the chemical oxygen demand.

산업의 발달 및 인구 증가에 따라 발생되는 폐수의 종류는 다양해지고 있으며, 폐수의 처리를 위해서는 주로 생물학적 처리를 먼저 검토하게 된다. 하지만 최근 폐수의 성분은 생물학적으로 처리하기 어려운 난분해성 요인(고농도의 염분, 독성 유기용매, 중금속 등)이 존재 할 뿐 아니라, 생물학적 처리 후 존재하는 잔류 유기물은 환경부에서 제시하는 방류수 기준을 만족시키기에 어려움이 있다. 이러한 난분해성 요인을 제거하기 위해서 전기 화학적 처리의 필요성이 대두되고 있으며, 다양한 고도산화기술들이 제시되고 있다. 그 중 처리시간의 단축으로 인한 처리비용 절감과 산화제 발생에 따른 높은 처리 효율로 인해 전기화학적 폐수산화처리에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 기존에 사용되어 지고 있는 전기화학적 폐수산화처리를 위한 불용성 전극을 BDD 전극으로 대체하여 다양한 폐수에 전기분해 처리 적용 가능성을 검토하고자 기존 BDD 전극의 기판 모재로 이용되던 Si, Nb 대신에 Ti 기판 위에 BDD 형성시켜 전극을 제작하였고, 폐수의 전기분해 적용 가능성을 확인하기 위하여 축산폐수, 해양폐수, 질산염폐수 등 실제 폐수를 채수하여 폐수 내 유기물의 전기분해 처리 효율을 분석하였다. 이에 Ti 모재 기판에 증착된 BDD 전극을 이용하여 폐수 내 유기물의 전기분해 처리효율을 분석 한 결과, 축산폐수의 경우 처리시간 150분에 95% 이상 처리효율을 나타냈으며, 해양폐수의 경우 처리시간 60분에 98% 이상의 유기물 제거 효결과가 나타남에 따라 축산폐수와 선박 평형수, 양식장폐수 등 다양한 폐수에 적용이 가능할 것으로 판단되며, 기존에 적용되어 지고 있는 고도산화처리 기술을 BDD 전극을 이용한 전기화학적 처리로 대체 할 수 있을 것으로 기대할 수 있다.

The management of soil organic matter(SOM) is a key component of golf course green maintenance. As part of a major project examining the sustainable management of SOM on golf course greens, the SOM status of different age greens maintained in the same root zone composition and management were compared. Then the microbial activity, tiller number, bulk density, water content, pH, EC, and T-N in the soil were measured. In the 0${\sim}$5cm depth SOM accumulation showed no significant difference between greens. Below 5cm SOM showed a strong significance between greens and had a positive(+) correlation with year and negative(-) correlation with depth. when regression equations were used to predict SOM accumulation with year and depth, SOM below 5cm tended to increase with a rate of 0.061% . year$^{-1}$ and decrease with a rate of 0.079% . $cm^{-1}$(R2==0.841). Soil microbial activity was investigated with age and depth by using a dehydrogenase assay. Results showed a sharp drop with depth in all greens. The soil microbial activity below 5cm showed no difference between greens. The accumulated SOM below 5cm may be very resistant to decomposition in the long-term. Five years after establishment, the bulk density did not significantly change. The water content, EC, and T-N had a significant correlation with SOM. The pH decreased with the year, which may influence SOM accumulation. Organic matter accumulation was mainly affected by the pH decrase，low soil microbial activity, and high organic matter resistant to decomposition, but the effects of water content, EC, and T-N were obscure.

이 글에서는 호수생태계에서 일어나는 변화 중 .betha.-glucosidase 활성도를 중심으로 생화학적인 분석과정을 통하여 유기물질의 분해, 생성, 소비등에 대한 과정을 설명하고자 한다. .betha.-glucosidase효소는 비교적 기질특이성이 넓고, glucose, celluhexose, carboxy-methylcellulose등의 .betha.고리를 가수분해시켜 monomer로 분해시키는 효소로서 수환경에서는 매우 중요하다. 즉 cellobiohydrolase에 의해 분해된 oligomer나 dimer를 세균의 세포막을 통과할 수 있는 크기로 분해시키는 효소이고, 이 효소의 분해 산물인 포도당은 세균에 의하여 바로 이용되고, catabolite inhibitor로 작용하므로, 이 효소 활성도의 높고 낮음은 수중생태계에서 탄소의 흐름과 세균 군집의 성장을 이해하는데 매우 중요하다(3).

Seasonal variations of remineralization and inorganic nitrogen removal capacity were measured from Dec. 2001 to Apr. 2004 in a tidal flat located in south-western pan of Gwanghwa island, Korea by measuring the sediment oxygen demand (SOD) and denitrification. SOD was higher in muddy sediment (Dong-Mak; three year average=$683;m^{-2}d^{-1}$) than sandy sediment(Yeocha; three year average=$457;m^{-2}d^{-1}$). The SOD was high in summer and tended to be lower in winter. During the sediment incubation in Apr. 2002, production of oxygen from sediment was observed implying active benthic photosynthesis. Denitrification was also higher in muddy sediment (Dong-Mak: $5.4;m^{-2}d^{-1}$) than sandy sediment (Yeocha; $3.4;m^{-2}d^{-1}$). The denitrification rate corresponds to the carbon remineralization rate of 9.3 and $5.9\;mg-C\;m^{-2}d^{-1}$ in Dong-Mak and Yeocha, respectively. The denitrification rates were lower compared to rates observed in other coastal area $(0{\sim}200\;{\mu}mole\;m^{-2}h^{-1})$. Although Kwanghwa tidal flat sediments are replete in organic matter, remineralization activity seems to be limited by the availability of labile organic matter. The Kwangwha tidal flat may have potential to effectively remove large load of organic matter. Net remineralization rates were 196 and $132\;mg-C\;m^{-2}d^{-1}$ in Dong-Mak and Yeocha, respectively.

The traditional view of the fate of lignin under anaerobic conditions is that it is recalcitrant because molecular oxygen is required for depolymerization. The presence of lignin is apparently the most important factor affecting the biodegradability of ligneous materials. The initial step in the degradation of ligneous material to smaller intermediates is catalyzed by enzymes secreted by microorganisms and is generally regarded as the rate limiting step in the microbial mineralization of organic matter. Biochemical methane potential (BMP) test, typically used to assess anaerobic biodegradability of liquid wastes with added nutrients and bacteria, have been adapted to assess initial biodegradation of ligneous material under anaerobic conditions. A method based on selective inhibition of microorganism activity, by 3% toluene, has been used to measure using the initial degradation rate of ligneous material and the accumulation of lignin-derived compounds.

In this study, sulfate reduction reaction was used to increase the decomposition of organics, which is the most critical factor for the stabilization of a landfill site. Composite of sewage sludge, papers, and incineration ashes was used in the column. The experimental results indicated that out of 10 reactors, the reactors 3, 4, 8. and 9 showed higher organics (i.e., TOC) removal rate than that in the absence of sulfate. The organics removal rates (K) in R3 and R9 were 8.65e$\^$-4/d and 3.82e$\^$-4//d, respectively. The times to reach 10％ of initial concentrations in R3 and R9 was 7.3 and 16.5 years, respectively, showing faster organics decomposition rates in these reactors.

하천, 호소등의 자정작용(Stream self purification), 즉 미생물에 의한 수중의 유기물의 안정화는, 유기물의 산화분해와 미생물세포의 합성이라는 두가지 대사과정의 조합에 의해 달성된다. 미생물에 의한 폐수처리는, 상술한 자연계의 자정작용을 인공적으로 관리, 운영하는 것이다. 즉, 미생물은 폐수중의 유기영양물을 산화분해하므로써 세포의 합성과 유지에 필요한 energy를 획득하며, 한편 폐수중의 유기물은 산화되어 안정화된다. 이산화반응을 생물학적산화라고 하며, 호기적산화와 혐기적산화의 두가지 형식으로 구별된다. 여기서는 폐수처리에 관여하는 미생물의 분류, 또 폐수처리의 형식으로 호기적산화(산화지, 활성 오이법, 산포처상법 및 회전원판법)와 혐기적산화(Methane발효법)에 대해서 설명한다. 활성오이법 에서 bulking 현상에 대해서도 언급하며, 미생물에 의한 폐수처리의 원리와함께 동력학식의 활성오이법에의 응용에 대해서도 설명한다.
