To explore the effective treatment methods for waste food generating malodor compounds, mixed microorganisms (MM) capable of deodorizing of domestic animal waste were applied using household composting box. The mixture of 5 kg whole chips as a bulk agent, 2 kg MM and 1 kg of waste food were input into the compost reactor and agitated. Waste food was supplemented every 24 hours. As the results, the composting volume was stable at 13∼14 L for 10 days. In the initial compost process with MM, the pH and temperature were increased more quickly than that of without MM. Also, the conductivity recognized as a barometer of compost was increased from 0.2 to 2.4 mS/cm that was higher than 1.3 mS/cm of without MM, for 10 days. The malodor compounds generated from waste food treatment such as sulfur compounds and volatile fatty acids were effectively reduced about 90∼l00%, and 70∼80% for 8 days, respectively. The microorganisms growing under the condition of alkaline phase and higher temperature were dominated during the compost Moreover, it was demonstrated that inoculated Bacillus cereus HY15 dominated during the compost results in responsible to the effective treatment of waste food.

Southern blight caused by Sclerotium rolfsii is a serious soilborne disease in economically important crops including pepper. In this study, we conducted a selection of antagonistic bacterial strains and organic materials to biologically control the disease. Out of 39 strains isolated from soils at Jinju in Korea, strain JJ2-01 showed the highest mycelial growth inhibition; garlic oil among various organic materials significantly reduced disease incidence and severity. When a combination of strain JJ2-01 and garlic oil, or each was drenched into the pepper plants, combined treatment and garlic oil significantly suppressed the disease development, however, acid phosphatase activity in garlic oil-treated plants decreased. In the case of combined treatment, the soil activities did not affect by treatment, while soil urease activity was significantly increased by the combined treatment. Therefore, given soil quality and health for sustainable agriculture, the combination of strain JJ2-01 and garlic acid was an effective application for environmental-friendly control of Southern blight in pepper plants.

대두유중에서 L, acidophilus와 K. fragilis를 단독발효시키는 것 보다 혼합배양 함으로써 젖산의 생성이 촉진되었는데 균간의 어떠한 상호작용에 의하여 산의 생산이 증가되었는가를 연구하였다. 대두유와 Soywhey를 사용하였을 때의 젖산 생성속도는 L. acidophilus 단독보다는 K. fragilis 와 혼합배양하는 것이 빨랐다. 이들 균을 단독 또는 혼합배양하여 경시적으로 발효 대두유중의 당 성분을 HPLC로 분석하였다. 그 결과 L. acidophilus가 발효하기 어려운 sucrosed raffinose, stachyose를 K. fragilis가 생산하는 효소에 의하여 젖산균이 발효할 수 있는 glucose, fructose로 분해되기 때문에 혼합배양 함으로써 젖산 발효가 촉진된다는 것을 알았다.

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.

L. acidophilus를 대두유에 젖산발효 시킬 때 단독배양과 효모인 K. fragilis와의 혼합배양에 대하여 검토하였다. 젖산의 생성량은 젖산균 단독배양보다는 효모와 혼합배양 하는 것이 2.6배나 많았으며 L. acidophilus를 단독배양 하였을 경우 균의 생육속도와 PH 강하속도는 K. fragilis를 단독배양한 것에 비교하여 늦었다. 그러나 혼합배양 함으로써 생육속도와 PH 강하속도는 K, fragilis를 단독배양한 것보다 빨랐다. 단독 또는 혼합젖산발효에 미치는 온도의 영향을 조사한 결과는 L. acidophilus.는 37$^{\circ}C$, K. frahilis는 3$0^{\circ}C$, 두 균의 혼합배양시는 35-37$^{\circ}C$ 범위에서 산생성이 가장 좋았다. 혼합배양 시 검토한 젖산발효 최적조건은 L. acidophilus와 K. fragilis의 접종비율이 1:5, sucrose 0.5-1.0% SKIMMILK 1.5%를 각각 첨 가한 것이 좋았다.

In this study, by using a Effective Microorganisms Brewing Cycle, it confirmed the purification effect of pollutants that are adsorbed on the basins stench removal and retarding soil. On the basis of on-site application test, a soil decontamination system will be suggested. Using a Effective Microorganisms Brewing Cycle, the odor concentration is reduced 2.5 times than that of natural purification treatment method. It was measured and found that the quality of the pore water discharged from the soil is improved. In addition, it was found that a composite of copper and lead with the fermentation microorganisms adsorbed on soil particles from the surface of the stirred experiments lagoon mixed soil is reduced to 65% and 66%, respectively, The TPH organic component was confirmed that the reduction effect of 85%. Restoration of reservoir contaminated soils using the effective microorganism brewing cycle needs to be more developed and implemented as a long-term purification system. This study may be a good reference of developing more complete microorganism brewing system which will efficiently reduce the odor and soil contamination based on optimal stirring and mixing ratio of the compound solutions and contaminated soils in reservoir.

A toluene-degrading bacterial strain was isolated from a mixed culture that was maintained using toluene as a sole carbon and energy source. The isolated bacterium was classified as Pseudomonas sp. TBD4 based on the close relationship to bacteria belonging to this genus. A bottle study to determine biodegradation rates of individual aromatic compounds showed that the biodegradation was faster in the order of toluene, benzene, styrene, and p-xylene. However, when various mixtures were subjected to TDB4, styrene was degraded at the highest rate, indicating that both toluene and p-xylene could stimulate the degradation of other substrates whereas styrene played as an inhibitor. In addition, the mixed culture and TDB4 were inoculated to the bioactive foam reactor (BFR), and the reactor performance and the corresponding change of microbial community were monitored using the fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) method. When an inlet concentration of the VOC mixture increased to greater than 250 ppm, the overall removal efficiency dropped significantly. The FISH measurement demonstrated that the ratio of TDB4 to the total bacteria also decreased to less than 20% along with the decline in removal efficiency in the BFR. As a result, the periodic addition of the pre-grown TDB4 might have been beneficial to achieve a stable performance in the BFR operated over an extended period.
