Acetogen과 같은 일부 혐기성미생물은 소위 acetyl-CoA 경로에 의해 아세트산, 에탄올, 그리고 몇 가지 생화학 물질을 생산한다. 이 경로에서는 일산화탄소를 기질로 이용할 수 있다. 일산화탄소 이외에 수소가 이용될 수 있다. 즉 이들 미생물은 독립영양생물로서 이산화탄소와 태양광에너지를 이용하는 녹색식물과 비유될 수 있으며, 일산화탄소는 탄소원으로서 동시에 에너지원으로서 이용된다. 본 연구에서는 혐기성 소화액 중 아세트산을 생성하는 미생물이 존재한다고 가정하고, 일산화탄소와 수소가 주 가연성분인 합성가스를 공급하면 추가의 메탄이 생성가능성을 평가하였다. 혐기성 소화과정에서 발생되는 메탄은 주로 아세트산으로부터 만들어지므로 일산화탄소를 공급하는 경우 추가로 메탄이 생성될 것으로 추측할 수 있기 때문이다. 이를 확인하기 위하여 현재 운영중인 바이오가스 생산 설비로부터 얻은 혐기성 소화액을 생물반응조에 넣은 후, 합성가스를 순환-공급하여 가스 생산량의 변화 및 조성을 분석하였다. 질소가스를 공급한 대조구와는 달리 일산화탄소 또는 합성가스를 공급한 경우에는 메탄가스가 생산되는 것을 확인하였다. 질소가스를 공급한 대조구와는 달리 일산화탄소 또는 합성가스를 공급한 경우에는 메탄가스가 생산되는 것을 확인하였다. 일산화탄소만을 공급했을 때에는 이산화탄소의 생성으로 가스 생산량이 증가하였으나, 수소가 포함된 합성가스를 공급하였을 때에는 이산화탄소가 탄소원이로 소비되어 가스 저장도 내의 가스량이 감소하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 가스화공정에 으해 얻어지는 합성가스는 온도와 가스 조성을 고러할 때, 바이오가스 생산을 위한 혐기성 소화조와 연계하면 소화조의 가온에 필요한 열을 공급할 수 있고 바이오가스 중 이산화탄소 농도를 낮추어 발열량을 개선할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

대기오염의 주요원인은 소각로 연소가스와 자동차의 배기가스로 이들 이동 오염원에서 배출되는 오염가스는 일산화탄소, 탄화수소, 질소 및 황산화물 둥이고 이들은 공기중의 산소와 반응하여 광화학반응을하여 오존을 생성하며 기타 미세먼지, 수분과 반응하여 스모그를 생성하여 인체의 호흡기 계통 질병을 유발케한다. (중략)

A unique Schizosaccharomyces pombe $TrxR^+$ gene encoding thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) was found to be positively regulated by stress-inducing agents through the stress-responsive transcription factor Pap1. In the present study, the protective roles of S. pombe TrxR were evaluated using the TrxR-overexpressing recombinant plasmid pHSM10. In the presence of hydrogen peroxide ($H_2O_2$) and superoxide anion-generating menadione (MD), S. pombe TrxR increased cellular growth and the total glutathione (GSH) level, while it reduced levels of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS). The nitric oxide (NO) levels of the TrxR-overexpressing cells, in the presence of $H_2O_2$ and MD, were maintained to be similar to those of the corresponding non-treated cells. Although S. pombe TrxR was able to scavenge NO generated by sodium nitroprusside (SNP), it had no significant modulating effects on cellular growth, ROS levels, or the total GSH level of SNP-exposed yeast cells, compared with the differences in those of the two non-treated cell cultures. TrxR increased the cellular growth and total GSH level, which were diminished by nitrogen starvation. It also scavenged ROS and NO produced during nitrogen starvation. Taken together, the S. pombe TrxR protects against oxidative, nitrosative, and nutritional stresses.

This study was conducted to investigate of Mori Folium Water Extract (MF) on anti-inflammation activity. MF Water extracts after 24 houres cultivation were examined to ascertain the cell viability of mouse macrophage RAW 264.7 cells. The influence of the Water extracts in RAW 264.7 macrophage cells treated with LPS was investigated. nitric oxide (NO) production, nterleukin$(IL)-1{\alpha}$ IL-6 and IL-10 increased generation of cytokines. mouse macrophage RAW 264.7 cells cell viability changes were no decreas after MTT assay of MF Water extract. The MF water extracts inhibited NO generation caused by LPS in the macrophages over $25{\mu}g/mL$. The MF water extracts increased in the control group the $IL-1{\alpha}$ and IL-6 activation generated by LPS in the macrophages over $50{\mu}g/mL$. Accordingly, it was found that different MF water extract concentrations significantly influenced certain anti-inflammation activities in RAW 264.7 macrophage cells. The results of this study are expected to be highly applicable to health - friendly functional materials. Further studies are needed to confirm the signaling pathways associated with anti-inflammation of macrophages through continuous studies.

An investigation of the effects of the size of mixing region determined by changing the position of fuel injection has been carried out. Measurements were made: the distribution of temperature and concentration profiles of the stable gas species, nitrogen oxide and total hydrocarbon in the flames. The results of this investigation show that variations of the size of mixing region produce major changes to the three type flow fields which significantly influence pollutant (NO, CO and THC) formation and energy release.

Several 8-cycloalkoxychrysin analogs were synthesized from 6-benzyloxy-5,8-dihydroxyflavone and cycloalkanols in 2 steps and we evaluated their inhibitory activities against NO production from LPS-induced RAW 264.7 cells. Among tested analogs, two analogs with cyclopentyl substructure (796 and 798) showed strong inhibitory activity against NO production.

Effect of nitric oxide (NO) treatment on physiology and quality characteristics of peaches (Prunus persica L. Batsch) was determined. Peaches were treated for 4 hr with NO (0, 10, 100 ppm) gas under oxygen-free atmosphere at $10^{\circ}C$, packaged with 0.05-mm LDPE film, and stored at $10^{\circ}C$ for 15 days. Treatment with 100 ppm NO reduced the ethylene production and the loss of flesh firmness in peaches, but did not affect soluble solids, titratable acidity, and surface color. Oxygen-free atmosphere induced the reduction of respiration rate and ethylene production. Modified atmosphere packaging retarded the loss of flesh firmness and surface greenness, but decreased soluble solids and titratable acidity regardless of NO treatment.

This study was designed to examine the cell cytotoxic, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant activity for raw material of Beta vulagaris tea. Antioxidative ability was evaluated by bioassays using DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activity. Cell viability was assessed by MTT assay using RAW 264.7 cells, and investigated production levels of reactive oxide speies, and inflammatory meditors(i.e., nitric oxide, tumor necrosis factor-α, and interleukin-6) in LPS-induced RAW 264.7 cells. As a results, DPPH and ABTS raidcal scavenging activity were increased in a dose-dependent manner, and confirmed no cytotoxicity in all concentration. Also, it was significantly decreased level of ROS, NO, IL-6, and TNF-a in LPS-induced RAW 264.7 cells. Therefore these results suggest Beta vulagaris has considerable potential as a raw material of leached tea with safe anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory effects.

The method to optimize the microbial production of ethanol from CO using Clostridium ljungdahlii was developed. The kinetic parameter study on CO conversion with Clostridium ljungdahlii was carried out and maximum CO conversion rate of 37.14 mmol/L-hr-O.D. and $K_{m}$ / of 0.9516 atm were obtained. It was observed that method of two stage fermentation, which consists of cell growth stage and ethanol production stage, was effective to produce ethanol. When pH was shifted from 5.5 to 4.5 and ammonium solution was supplied to culture media as nitrogen source at ethanol production stage, the concentration of ethanol produced was increased 20 times higher than that without shift. Ethanol production from CO in a fermenter with Clostridium ljungdahlii was optimized and the concentration of ethanol produced was 45 g/L and maximun ethanol productivity was 0.75 g ethanol/L-hr.
