A bench-scale air biofilter was evaluated for the removal of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from a gas stream. Compost and peat were used as the biological attachment media. Biofilter operating parameters such as incoming VOCs concentrations, temperature, and packing materials were examined. After 26 days of acclimation periods, at 25$^{\circ}C$ and 45$^{\circ}C$, the biofilter removed more than 90% of 30 to 72 mg/㎥ of total VOC. After 40 days of operation, the concentrations of isoprene, toluene, and m-xylene were reduced to 96∼99, 91∼93, and 91∼93% of the original concentrations. VOC removal efficiency was not affected by the temperature. The medium pH was maintained near neutral (pH 6.5∼7.1). After 37 days of operation, the total bacteria count in the biofilter media increased to 1.12${\times}$10(sup)8 cells/g of medium.

Dehydrins (LEA Dll proteins) are one of the typical families of plant proteins that accumulate in response to dehydration, cold stress, abscisic acid, or during seed maturation. A 1.3-kb cDNA was cloned from a cDNA expression library of 5-day-old germinating maize scutellums under drought stress. The deduced protein sequence indicated a dehydrin gene encoding SK$_3$ LEA protein typically expressed during cold acclimation, but not by drought stress in barley and wheat. Thus, it was named maize DEHYDRIN2 (ZmDhn2). It accumulates rapidly and highly in drought-stressed scutellum and leaf tissues at any stage, but not under cold stress. ZmDhn2 gene was transformed into Arabidopsis thaliana for functional analysis under drought condition. From electrolyte leakage test, no significant difference showed between wild type and transformants under normal growth condition, but the leakage level of electrolyte in wild type plants was about 3 times as high as that in the transformed plants under drought stress. It suggests that ZmDHN2 playa role in increasing drought tolerance.

The feasibility of hydrogen production with a raw seed sludge through direct acclimation of feedstock was investigated at acidogenic stage, and methane was harvested at followed methanogenic stage in an anaerobic two-stage process. Hydrogen content was higher than 57% at all tested organic loading rates (OLRs) and the yield of hydrogen ranged from 1.5 to 2.4 mol H2/mol hexose consumed and peaked at 6 gVSl-1day-1. Normal butyrate and acetate were main volatile fatty acids (VFAs), whereas the concentration of propionate was insignificant. The hydrogen-producing bacteria, Clostridium thermosaccharolyticum, was detected with strong intensity at all tested organic loading rates (OLRs) by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis. From COD balance in the process, the fraction of the feed-COD converted to the hydrogen-COD at acidogenic stage ranged from 7.9% to 9.3% and peaked at 6 gVSl-1day-1, whereas the fraction of feed-COD converted to the methane-COD at methanogenic stage ranged from 66.2% to 72.3% and peaked at 3 gVSl-1day-1.

Photosynthesis is a highly robust process allowing for rapid adjustment to changing environmental conditions. The efficient acclimation depends on balanced redox metabolism and control of reactive oxygen species release which triggers signaling cascades and potentially detrimental oxidation reactions. Thiol peroxidases of the peroxiredoxin and glutathione peroxidase type, and ascorbate peroxidases are the main peroxide detoxifying enzymes of the chloroplast. They use different electron donors and are linked to distinct redox networks. In addition, the peroxiredoxins serve functions in redox regulation and retrograde signaling. The complexity of plastid peroxidases is discussed in context of suborganellar localization, substrate preference, metabolic coupling, protein abundance, activity regulation, interactions, signaling functions, and the conditional requirement for high antioxidant capacity. Thus the review provides an opinion on the advantage of linking detoxification of peroxides to different enzymatic systems and implementing mechanisms for their inactivation to enforce signal propagation within and from the chloroplast.

The low-pH biofiltration system in laboratory experiments demonstrate defective performance for treating H2S. When leachate pH was in the range of 1.5 to 4, the biofilters in three different media removed H2S wi th efficiencies greater than 99％ while it was treated as a single contaminant. The posibility of using a single-stage low pH biofilter depends on its performance in treating VOCs. During Phase 2, a single-stage biofilter was effective for treating mixtures of H2S and toluene with toluene concentrations below 20ppm and leachate pH between 2 and 3.5. Biofiltration of xylene was ineffective when pH was lower than 1.5. The treatment system acclimated most slowly to benzene, and treatment of benzene was apparently subject to some competive inhibition from xylene and toluene. However. co-treatment was possible after some acclimation time. Xylene was not easily treated, with higher elimination capacities and no sign of competitive inhibition.

To identify low temperature-induced genes of wheat chromosome substitution line 5D, suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) was performed with mRNAs from leaf samples that treated with low temperature ($4^{\circ}C$). A cDNA library was constructed using mRNA isolated from wheat chromosome substitution line 5D leaves treated with low temperature ($4^{\circ}C$). The nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences of the putative gene products were compared. wfr-9 and wfr-32 showed identity over 90% related to vernalization gene. Other two genes, wfr-77 and wfr-83 which is related to freezing-resistant gene have also identity over 90%. This result suggest that those genes may be transcribed into antifreeze proteins which are accumulated within leaf apoplasts, when wheat chromosome substitution line 5D is acclimated during low temperature treatment.

In vitro proliferation system was achieved by using nodal segment excised from greenhouse grown juvenile stock plants of Alnus japonica. Stem explants were cultured on MS medium supplemented with different plant growth regulators of cytokinin and/or their combinations. The most effective cytokinin source was the combination of zeatin 2.0 mg/L and TDZ 0.05 mg/L producing the average number of shoots (16.8 $\pm$ 3.6). In addition, healthy roots were formed after small clumps of shoots were transferred to half strength of MS medium containing IBA 0.02 mg/L with optimal rooting capacity. Soil acclimatization was successfully conducted in cell tray containing artificially mixed soil with 92 % survival rate.

Effects of temperature, pH, and salt concentration on the preservation of the infective juvenile entolopathogenic nematodes, Steinernema carpocapsae, were analyzed. The effects of acclimation to sublethal low temperature and glycerol concentrations on rapid cold hardening of the nematodes were also evaluated to set up the conditions for their cryopreservation. All tested environmental factors could change the storage effectiveness of the nematodes. These analyses indicated that the optinal storage condition for the nematodes consisted of $15^{\circ}C$, pH 8.5, and 0.5-1.0% salt concentration. The nematodes showed a rapid could hardening in response to $5^{\circ}C$ for 2h. Glycerol induced the nematodes to increase the cold hardiness. Its high concentration over 10%, however, gave a harmful effect on the nematode survival.

대왕바리, Epinephelus lanceolatus의 담수순화 방법에 따른 산소소비 경향을 조사하였다. 염분 변화 조건은 대조구인 35 psu (Exp. I) 외에 단계적 염분변화 조건인 Exp. II($35{\rightarrow}20{\rightarrow}10{\rightarrow}0$ psu)과 Exp. III ($35{\rightarrow}10{\rightarrow}0$ psu) 그리고 급격한 염분변화 조건인 Exp. IV ($35{\rightarrow}0$ psu)로 하였다. 염분 저하 방법별로 산소소비량을 측정한 결과, 수온 $27^{\circ}C$에서 실험어의 평균 산소소비량은 Exp. I에서 $106.9{\pm}0.7mg$ $O_2/kg/h$였다. Exp. II에서는 염분이 $35{\rightarrow}20{\rightarrow}10{\rightarrow}0$ psu로 낮아지면서 각각 $108.1{\pm}2.1$, $99.6{\pm}2.9$, $74.6{\pm}0.9$ 및 $62.7{\pm}1.0mg$ $O_2/kg/h$, Exp. III에서는 각각 $106.5{\pm}1.3$, $77.0{\pm}1.2$ 및 $64.7{\pm}1.2mg$ $O_2/kg/h$로 감소하였다. Exp. IV 역시 산소소비량은 35 psu의 $109.0{\pm}0.9mg$ $O_2/kg/h$로부터 0 psu의 $71.6{\pm}2.0mg$ $O_2/kg/h$로 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 대왕바리는 모든 실험 조건에서 암기 보다 명기에 많은 산소소비량을 보여, 주행성 어종인 것으로 추정되나, 명기와 암기의 산소소비량은 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다. 이상의 결과를 종합해 볼 때, 대왕바리 치어는 염분 저하 방법별 산소소비량에서 서로 차이를 보이지 않아 저염분 순화에 있어 생리적 문제는 발생하지 않았으며, 실험과정 중 폐사한 개체도 없었다. 따라서 대왕바리는 염분변화에 매우 강한 광염성 어종이며, 담수환경에 쉽게 적응할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구에서는 강도다리의 담수순화방법으로 급격한 염분변화(AD)와 단계적인 염분변화(SD II과 III)를 주었을 때 강도다리의 생리적 반응을 조사하였다. AD에서 Ht, RBC 및 Hb는 Exp. II에 비해 증가하는 값이 높게 나왔으며 회복하는 속도도 느렸다. 그러나 SD II는 Ht, RBC 및 Hb에서 실험개시시수준과 실험종료시의 값이 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. AD에서 cortisol의 농도는 실험개시시 $2.1{\pm}1.0{\mu}g/mL$로부터 실험개시 후 6시간째에 $13.7{\pm}0.2{\mu}g/mL$ 급격히 증가하였으나 10일째에 $3.10{\mu}g/mL$로 실험개시시 수준으로 회복되었다. SD I에서 cortisol의 농도는 실험개시시 $2.1{\pm}1.0{\mu}g/mL$로부터 6시간째에 $13.6{\pm}0.6{\mu}g/mL$로 증가하였고, 실험종료시인 10일째에 $3.1{\pm}0.4{\mu}g/mL$로 회복되었다. SD II에서 cortisol의 농도는 실험개시시 $2.1{\pm}1.0{\mu}g/mL$로부터 6시간째와 12시간째에 각각 $10.5{\pm}2.5$, $10.8{\pm}5.6{\mu}g/mL$로 증가하는 경향을 보였으나 48시간째부터 실험개시시 수준으로 회복되는 경향을 보였다. 글루코스 농도는 AD, SD I과 II에서 cortisol의 경향과 다르게 유의한 차이를 나타내지 않았다. 삼투질농도는 실험개시시 $286.8{\pm}3.3\;mOsm/kg$으로 나타났으며, AD와 단계적 염분변화 실험구인 SD I, II에서는 실험종료 시에 각각 $266.3{\pm}8.5$, $242.0{\pm}12.5$, $269.5{\pm}4.9\;mOsm/kg$으로 유의하게 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 혈장의 $Na^+$, $K^+$ 및 $Cl^-$ 농도는 AD의 경우, $Cl^-$(mEq/L)만이 실험개시시의 수준과 유의한 변화를 볼 수 없었고, $Na^+$(mEq/L)와 $K^+$(mEq/L)는 유의하게 감소하는 경향을 보였다. SD I에서도 $Cl^-$(mEq/L)만이 실험개시시의 수준과 유의한 변화를 볼 수 없었고, $Na^+$(mEq/L)와 $K^+$(mEq/L)는 유의하게 감소하는 경향을 보였다.
