This study investigated nitrite ($NO_2{^-}$) accumulation due to FA (Free Ammonia: $NH_3$) inhibition in an anaerobic-aerobic-anoxic (AOA) process reactor to mainly treat wastewater containing 302-610 mg/L of $NH_3/NH_4{^+}-N$. Based on an experimental operation focusing on the nitrification, it was observed that $NO_2{^-}$ was accumulated in the aerobic nitrification zone as pH increased, due to inhibition of $NO_2{^-}$ conversion to $NO_3{^-}$ by FA. This result implied FA inhibition to NOB ($NO_2{^-}$-Oxidizing Bacteria) for converting $NO_2{^-}$ to $NO_3{^-}$. The objective of this study is to develop a feasible monitoring procedure for early detection of the FA inhibition toward $NO_2{^-}$ accumulation and poor nitrification. Thus, in order to rapidly assess FA concentrations, an $NH_3$ probe was utilized to measure $NH_3$ concentrations together with applying a simple model prediction using the measured $NH_4{^+}$ concentrations, the Henry's law constant of $NH_3$ and measured pH. The predictive model $NH_3$ levels were verified by a good correlation (89%) with the corresponding measured data, but the model prediction underestimated FA concentrations at less than 7.4 and a little overestimated at pH above 7.5. Interestingly, accumulated $NO_2{^-}$ levels were roughly correlated with FA levels that were observed at delayed time points. This reflects the detected FA levels can be good indicators of $NO_2{^-}$ levels with some delayed time. $NO_2{^-}$ accumulation started at measured FA concentrations of higher than approximately 3 mg/L and ceased below that FA level.

To improve the soil condition for no-tillage organic pepper cultivation, four different green manure crops were cultivated. Fertilizer supply was depended on the biomass of the cultivated green manure crops, nitrogen supplies were 314kg in Vicia villosa and 341kg $ha^{-1}$ in Vicia angustifolia. In the microbial community analyzed by phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) method, soil microbe populations were different among the green manure crops and fungi group was increased at Vicia angustifloia and Vicia villosa. The biological ratio indexes of fatty acids in the soils, the ratio of Gram-negative to Gram-positive bacterial PLFA and Ratio of aerobes to anaerobes were high at Vicia hirsute and Vicia tetrasperma suggesting the enrich of the aerobic conditions. The ratio of saturated to unsaturated fatty acids increased at Vicia angustifloia and Vicia villosa suggesting anaerobic conditions. Abundant biomass and uncomposted organic matter, the ratio of fungi to bacteria was increased at Vicia angustifloia and Vicia villosa.

미생물을 이용한 원석 또는 폐석으로부터 인류에 유용한 원소 및 중금속의 용출은 초기 연구단계에 있는 새로운 생물학적 기술 중의 하나이다. 본 연구의 목적은 갯벌 퇴적물에서 분리한 미생물(Microcosm)을 이용하여 자철석으로부터 철의 용출 및 용출된 철의 생광화작용에 따른 2차 물질의 형성을 규명하고자 한다. 갯벌퇴적물에서 분리한 철 환원 박테리아(Microcosm)가 글루코스($10{\sim}20mM$)를 이용하여 성장하는 동안 자철석으로부터 철의 용출 및 2차 물질의 형성을 ICP, XRD, SEM-EDX 및 TEM을 이용하여 연구하였다. 미생물배지에 상업용 자철석(미생물배지 : 자철석 = 100 : 1)과 철환원 박테리아를 넣고 혐기성 및 호기성 조건하에서 철 용출 및 2차 물질의 형성실험을 실시한 결과, 철의 용출 실험동안 미생물배지의 Eh는 호기성 조건에서 +250 mV에서 -520 mV 까지 감소하고, pH 7.3에서 5.5까지 감소하였다. 혐기성 환경에서 박테리아의 활동에 따라 15일째 자철석으로부터 94 ppm의 Fe를 용출하였으며, 박테리아가 없는 혐기성 조건 하에서는 0.9 ppm의 Fe의 용출을 보여 주었다. 호기성 환경에서 박테리아의 활동에 따라 자철석으로부터 15일째 107 ppm의 Fe를 용출하였다. 배양을 시작한지 1개월이 지난 시점에서는 미생물배지에 용출되어 있는 Fe가 혐기성 조건에서는 57ppm의 Fe가, 호기성 조건하에서는 6.5 ppm의 Fe 각각 존재하였다. 박테리아가 배양되는 동안 용출된 철의 감소는 2차물질의 형성에 철이 소비된 것으로 사료되며, 호기성 조건하에서는 적갈색의 2차 물질 형성을 보여주었다. 미생물에 의한 자철석으로부터 철과 망간의 용출은 미생물의 활동에 따른 미생물배지의 열역학적인 조건(Eh/pH)의 변화 및 유기물의 산화에 따른 유기산의 형성에 기인한 것으로 사료된다. 미생물을 이용한 결정질의 자철석으로부터 철의 용출 및 비정질의 2차물질의 형성은 미생물의 퇴적물 내에서 철의 순환에 중요한 역할을 담당할 뿐만 아니라 미생물을 이용한 유용물질의 침출(Bioleaching) 및 생광화작용에 따른 광물의 합성 가능성을 시사한다.

The purpose of this study was to isolate and identify the bacteria in chronic maxillary sinusitis (CMS) lesions from 3 patients and to determine the antimicrobial susceptibility of them against 10 antibiotics. One of them was odontogenic origin and the others were non-odontogenic origin. Pus samples were collected by needle aspiration from the lesions and examined by culture method. Bacterial culture was performed in three culture systems (anaerobic, CO2, and aerobic incubator). Identification of the bacteria was performed by 16S rRNA gene (16S rDNA) nucleotide sequencing method. To test the sensitivity of the bacteria isolated from the maxillary sinusitis lesions against seven antibiotics, penicillin G, amoxicillin, tetracycline, ciprofloxacin, cefuroxime, erythromycin, clindamycin, and vancomycin, minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was performed using broth dilution assay. Our data showed that enterobacteria such as Enterobacter aerogenes (30%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (25%), and Serratia marcescens (15%) were predominately isolated from the lesion of non-odontogenic CMS of senile patient (70 year old). Streptococcus spp. (40.3%), Actinomyces spp. (27.4%), P. nigrescens, M. micros, and P. anaerobius strains were isolated in the lesion of odontogenic CMS. In the lesion of non-odontogenic CMS, Streptococcus spp. (68.4%), Rothia spp. (13.2%), and Actinomyces sp. (10.5%) were isolated. The susceptibility pattern of 10 antibiotics was determined according to the host of the bacteria strains ratter than the kinds of bacterial species. Even though the number of CMS was limited as three, these results indicate that antibiotic susceptibility test must be accompanied with treatment of CMS. The combined treatment of two or more antibiotics is better than single antibiotic treatment in the presence of multidrug-resistant bacteria in the CMS lesions.

제지폐수 처리장에는 공정내에서 순환하는 분산성 미생물이 존재하는데 환경조건에 따라 이상중식 현상이 일어나 처리수질의 악화와 악취가 발생되는 현상이 발견되었다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제를 일으키는 분산성 미생물을 파악한후 우검종 분산성 미생물을 분리동정하고 각 폐수처리 공정중에서 호기 및 혐기적 미생물의 생태분석 및 그 생육특성을 조사하여 이를 토대로 안정적인 폐수처리를 위한 미생물관리 모델시스템 개발의 기초적인 연구를 수행하였다. 제지폐수내 1차 처리수중 주요 우점종 분산성균들의 분리동정 결과 호기성균으로 Pseudomonas carboxydohydrogena, Cardiobacterim hominis. Micrococcus lylae, Xantomonas cam-pestris pv juglandis, Micrococcus diversus, Comamaonas terrigena, 혐기성균으로는 Streptococcus bovis, Prevotella buccae등의 균이 동정되었다 3회의 분석때마다 서로 다른 buccae등의 균이 동정되었다. 호기적 균이 혐기성 균보다 더 많은 종류가 검출되었다 이중 주요 균의 생리특성을 관찰한 결과 온도는 $37^{\circ}C$에서 생육이 가장우수하였고 적정 pH는 균종에 따라 다르게 나타났으며 특히 1차 폐수처리시에 첨가되는 alumi-nium sulfate에 의한 sulfate의 요구 균주가 많았다 따라서 제지 폐수내의 분산성 미생물은 매우 다양한 균들로 이루어져 있으며 외부의 환경변화에 의하여 microflora 가 변하고 있음을 확인할 수가 있었다 그리고 이들 호기적처리 공정중에서도 많은 혐기성 미생물이 생육하들 호기적처리 공정중에서도 많은 혐기성 미생물이 생육하고 있으며 이들이 폐수처리에 많은 역할을 하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 특히 1차 침전조에서의 긴 체류시간에 의하여 상등액에서 원폐수보다 호기성미생물보다 혐기성미생물의 생육이 3배나 많이 이루어졌고 1차침전조에서의 긴 체류시간에 의하여 상등액에서 원폐수보다 호기성미생물보다 혐기성미생물의 생육이 3배나 많이 이루어졌고 1차침전조 하부 슬러지액에서는 혐기성균이 10배나 많이 존재하였다 따라서 혐기성균이 침전된 유기물로부터 황화수소가스와 이산화탄소등의 가스를 발생시키고 이 가스가 하부에서 상부로 부상하면서 미생물의 침전성을 악화하여 분산성미생물을 증가시켜 폐수처리효율을 떨어뜨리며 아울러 심한 악취까지 발생시킬 것으로 사료된다.

In this study, a complete set of recirculating cooling water system and the required instruments were built in a semi-industrial-scale and a 50 g/h ozone generation plant and a chlorine system were designed for cooling water treatment. Both chlorination and ozonation treatment methods were studied and the results were analyzed during two 45-days periods. The concentrations of ozone and chlorine in recirculating water were constant at 0.1 mg/lit and 0.6 mg/lit, respectively. In ozone treatment, by increasing the concentration cycle to 33%, the total water consumption decreased by 26% while 11.5% higher energy efficiency achieved thanks to a better elimination of bio-films. In case of Carbon Steel, the corrosion rate reached to 0.012 mm/yr and 0.025 mm/yr for the ozonation and chlorination processes, respectively. Furthermore, consumptions of the anti-corrosion and anti-sedimentation materials in the ozone cooling water treatment were reduced about 60% without using any oxidant and non-oxidant biocides. No significant changes in sediment load were seen in ozonation compared to chlorination. The Chemical Oxygen Demand of the blow-down in ozonation method decreased to one-sixth of that in the chlorination method. Moreover, the soluble iron and water turbidity in the ozonation method were reduced by 97.5% and 70%, respectively. Although no anaerobic bacteria were seen in the cooling water at the proper concentration range of ozone and chlorine, the aerobic bacteria in chlorine and ozone treatment methods were 900 and 200 CFU/ml, respectively. The results showed that the payback time for the ozone treatment is about 2.6 years.

The effects of gaseous ozone exposure on the bacterial counts and oxidative properties were evaluated in duck and chicken breast fillets, which were stored under a continuous flux of gaseous ozone (10×10⁻⁶ kg O₃/m³/h) at 4±1℃ for 4 d. The ozone generator was set to on for 15 min and off for 105 min, and this cyclic timer was set during storage. Ozone effectively reduced the growth of coliform, aerobic and anaerobic bacteria in both chicken and duck breast. However, lipid oxidation occurred faster in duck breast than chicken breast with higher degree of discoloration, TBARS value, and antioxidant enzyme (glutathione peroxidase and catalase) activity decline rates. It is concluded that ozone effectively controlled the growth of bacteria in both chicken and duck breast with less effects on oxidative deterioration in chicken breast.

Biofilm and aeration tank of pilot and full RABC (rotating activated Bacillus contactor) plant were analyzed to characterize and determine bacterial community structure in food wastewater treatment system at winter. Concentration of heterotrophic bacteria and Bacillus group was $10^7$ and $10^5$ CFU/ml, respectively, at biofilm of pilot-plant while others represented $10^6$ and $10^4$ CFU/ml, respectively. Five and eight phyla were detected at biofilm of pilot- and full-plant, respectively, by 16S rDNA sequencing. Biofilm of pilot-plant was dominated by ${\beta}$-Proteobacteria (38.8%), ${\gamma}$-Proteobacteria (22.4%), and Bacteroidetes (12.2%), and the most dominant genus was Zoogloeae genus (22.4%). Candidate division TM7 (12.5%) was only detected at biofilm of full-plant and it was dominated by Bacteroidetes (33.3%), ${\gamma}$-Proteobacteria (29.2%), and ${\beta}$-Proteobacteria (20.8%). Clostridium genus specific primer set enabled to detect the sequences of Clostridium genus. These suggested that anaerobic and aerobic bacteria were coexisted even from the initial period of biofilm formation and ${\beta}$-Proteobacteria, ${\gamma}$-Proteobacteria and Bacteroidetes were major phyla in biofilm of food wastewater treatment system at winter.

ln vitro and in vivo antibacterial activities of DWQ-013(1-cyclopropyl-6,8-difluoro-7-(3-methylthiomethylpyrrolidinyl)-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-3-quinolinecarboxylic acid), a new fluoroquinolone antibacterial agent, were compared with those of ciprofloxacin, sparfloxacin and ofloxacin against aerobic and anaerobic standard strains and clinical isolates. DWQ-013 had a broad spectrum and potent antibacterial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The antibacterial activity of DWQ-013 against Staphylococcus aureus was equal to that of sparfloxacin(SPFX) and superior to those of ciprofloxacin(CPFX). The antibacterial activity against Gram-negative bacteria was slightly lower than those of ciprofloxacin and sparfloxacin. MIC of DWQ-013 against Pseudomonas aeruginosa$(0.781{\sim}1.563\;{\mu}g/ml)$ was usually equal to that of sparfloxacin$(0.781\;{\mu}g/ml)$ and was inferior to that of ciprofloxacin$(0.098\;{\mu}g/ml)$. The number of viable cells was decreased rapidly after addition of DWQ-013 at concentration of $1{\sim}2$ folds of MIC.
