The critical micelle concentration(CMC) of CTAB was determined with changes in absorbance at 202nm band of 4-biphenyl acetate($BPA^-$). With $BPA^-$ as a probe, the effect of temperature on CMC of CTAB has been observed between $30^{\circ}C{\sim}70^{\circ}C$. In this range of temperature the values of CMC are $1.18{\times}10^{-4}{\sim}2.02{\times}10^{-4}M$. The free energy(${\Delta}G^{\circ}m$) and enthalpy(${\Delta}H^{\circ}m$)for the micellization of CTAB was negative and the entropy(${\Delta}S^{\circ}m$) was a large positive value. The micellization of CTAB is considered as a spontaneous process and to involve a phase transition. The orientational binding of 4-biphenyl acetate anion to the CTAB micelle interface has been studied with $300MHz\;H^1-NMR$ data. The change in chemical shift of proton in CTAB as well as those of the protons in $BPA^-$ have been investigated by increasing the mole fraction of the anion in the mixed solutions. The changes in chemical shift with increasing mole fraction of anion($BPA^-$) indicate the formation of mixed micelle between CTAB and $BPA^-$. The changes in chemical shifts of methylene protons in CTAB, demonstrate the penetration of $BPA^-$ into the palisade layer of the CTAB micelle.

Copper(II) acetate spectrophotometry method (CASM) was used for the rapid and convenient determination of cation exchange capacity (CEC) in soils. This method is composed of a single-step exchange reaction that adsorbs copper and is measured through spectrophotometry. The CEC of 16 Korean soils were measured using 1M ammonium acetate method (AAM) and the CASM. The CEC values determined by CASM and AAM were not significantly different, and were highly correlated ($r=0.966^{**}$). Due to the convenience, cost effectiveness, and time saving analysis of CASM, this method is recommended for most soil laboratories to measure CEC in Korean soils. However, CASM may not be applicable for soils that have a much higher CEC (greater than $20cmol_c\;kg^{-1}$).

Pharmacological research on (CHA), a marine-derived quinazolinone alkaloid with significant cytotoxic activity, is restricted by low yields and is a problem that needs to be settled urgently. In this work, the selection of additional nitrogen sources and the optimization of additional concentrations and longer fermentation times using ammonium acetate, were investigated. CHA production was optimized to 62.1 mg/l with the addition of 50 mM ammonium acetate at 120 h of the fermentation in the shaker flask. This feeding strategy significantly increased 3-deoxy-arabino-heptulosonate-7-phosphate synthase activity and transcript levels of critical genes (laeA, dahp, and trpC) in the shikimate pathway compared with the non-treatment group. In addition, the selection of the feeding rate (0.01 and $0.03g/l{\cdot}h$) was investigated in a 5-L bioreactor. As a result, CHA production was increased by 57.9 mg/l with a $0.01g/l{\cdot}h$ ammonium acetate feeding rate. This work shows that the strategy of ammonium acetate supplementation had an effective role in improving CHA production by Aspergillus fumigatus CY018. It also shows that this strategy could serve as an important example of large-scale fermentation of a marine fungus in submerged culture.

4-Acetylantipyrine 1 underwent condensation with 4-formyl-antipyrine 2 to give 3. Condensation of either 3 with 1 or 1 with 2 in a molar ratio of (2 :1) afforded 4. Cyclization of 4 in the presence of PPA and ammonium acetate or 4-aminoantipyrine in the presence of glacial acetic acid gave 5-6 respectively. Claisen condensation of 1 with ethyl acetate and diethyl oxalate afforded compounds 8-10. The reaction of 1 and 2 with indole in ethanol/conc. hyddrochloric acid was also investigated.

These researches were carried out for improvement of medium for mycelial growth of Hericium erinaceus isolate KU-1. It grew well at pH 4 and $25^{\circ}C$. Glucose and sucrose were favorable carbon sources for mycelial growth. As nitrogen sources, ammonium acetate and arginine enhanced mycelial growth. Optimum C/N ratio was 200. Based On the results, the following recipe is suggested for synthetic medium for the mycelial growth: glucose 18.02 g, arginine 2.613 g, ammonium acetate 2.313 g, $CaCl_2\;0.33\;g$, $KH_2PO_4\;8.5\;g$, $MgSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O\;2.0\;g$, $FeSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O\;0.02\;g$, $ZnSO_4{cdot}7H_2O\;0.02\;g$, $MnSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O\;0.02\;g$, water 1 liter. This medium was superior for the mycelial growth to other conventional media such as Yeast malt extract agar (YMA), Park medium, Potato dextrose agar (PDA), Malt extract agar, Czapek-dox agar, Macaya-lizano medium and Yeast extract agar. This new synthetic medium is designated as Ko medium.

Bromelain(EC 3.4.22.4), the collective name for the proteolytic enzymes found in tissues of the plant family Bromeliaceae(pineapple), has been used as a tenderizing agent in food processing, and as an antiinflammatory agent in pharmaceuticals. In this paper, we describe the simple purification method of bromelain using Korean pineapple fruit. After removing contaminants at 30% saturation of ammonium sulfate, the supernatant obtained was treated again with ammonium sulfate to 80% saturation. Wit the above salt fractionation, partially purified bromelain could be obtained. To get highly purified bromelain, the previous 30% to 80% ammonium sulfate treated precipitate was dialyzed against 25mM sodium acetate buffer(pH 5.0) followed by passing through a CM- cellulose cation exchange column. Fruit bromelain was eluted as a major peak at 0.5~0.8M NaCI gradient. The present method is simpler with high wield than the traditional purification method-acetone treatment and several consecutive chromatographic processes.

These studies carried out to know the effect of ammonium on the current generation in the microbial fuel cells (MFCs). MFCs used in the study were enriched with anaerobic digestion sludge and operated for 3 years using artificial wastewater (AWW). When the current was stably generated, ammonium ion with $27.0{\pm}0.0$, $51.5{\pm}0.0$, $103.5{\pm}0.0mg/L$ with acetate fed into the anode compartment. The current values under condition included ammonium were changed from its initial $6.30{\pm}0.06$ to $6.28{\pm}0.36$, $5.95{\pm}0.61$, $5.64{\pm}0.38mA$, respectively. The current value was slightly decreased to $5.64{\pm}0.38mA$ compared to $6.30{\pm}0.06mA$ generated from MFC without ammonium ion in the AWW. But After 3days operating under ammonium concentration with $103.5{\pm}0.0mg/L$, the current was unstably generated when artificial wastewater without ammonium was fed again. MFC enriched with AWW without ammonium ion was inhibited by high concentration of ammonium. At this time, the ammonium was removed 5.27~16.41 mg per day under all conditions.

A simple and efficient analytical method for the simultaneous determination of seven tar color additives was developed using ion pair high performance liquid chromatography. The conditions for HPLC analysis were as follows: column, ${\mu}$-Bondapak C18 (10 ${\mu}m$, 300 ${\times}$ 3.9 mm i.d.); gradient mobile phase, 0.025 mol/L ammonium acetate (containing 0.01 mol/L tetrabutylammonium bromide)-acetonitrile-methanol (65:25:10) as a mobile for fraction A and 0.025 mol/L ammonium acetate (containing 0.01 mol/L tetrabutylammonium bromide)-acetonitrilemethanol (40:50:10) as a mobile for fraction B; flow rate, 1.0 mL/ min; detection wavelength, 254/520/620 nm. We could attain to the detection limits as 0.01~0.05 ${\mu}$g/mL (254 nm) and 0.005~0.01 ${\mu}$g/mL (520 nm) for six red tar color additives, and 0.05 ${\mu}$g/mL (254 nm) and 0.002 ${\mu}$g/mL (620 nm) for Fast green FCF. This analytical method was applicable to determine the tar color additives contained in several commercial cold syrups.

Its sensitivity, selectivity, accuracy and precision must be adequate for the bioavailabilty study of nicorandil, and the linearity ($r^2$ ≥ 0.9994) of nicorandil was also proved in the range of 0.05 ug/ml . 3 ug/ml. The pharmacokinetic parameters of nicorandil (5 mg) tablets were measured as the follow. AUC: 0.19 ug/ml·hr, $C_{max}$: 0.14 ug/ml, $t_{max}$: 0.58 hr, Ke: 0.11 hr., $t_{1/2\beta}$: 6.76 hrs. This method is simple and sensitive HPLC method using UV detector for determination of nicorandil in human plasma.
