A 1.28 L-batch reactor and continuous-flow stirred tank reactor (CFSTR) fed with formate and trichloroethene (TCE) were operated for 120 days and 56 days, respectively, to study the effect of formate as electron donor on anaerobic reductive dechlorination (ARD) of TCE to cis-1,2-dichloroethylene (c-DCE), vinyl chloride (VC), and ethylene (ETH). In batch reactor, injected 60 ${\mu}mol$ TCE was completely degraded in the presence of 20% hydrogen gas ($H_2$) in less than 8 days by anaerobic dechlorination mixed-culture (300 mg-soluble protein), Evanite Culture with ability to completely degrade tetrachloroethene (PCE) and -TCE to ETH under anaerobic conditions. Once the formate was used as electron donor instead of hydrogen gas in batch or chemostat system, the TCE-dechlorination rate decreased and acetate production rate increased. It indicates that the concentration of hydrogen produced in both systems is possibly more close to threshold for homoacetogenesis process. Soluble protein concentration of Evanite culture during the batch test increased from 300 mg to 688 mg for 120 days. Through the protein monitoring, we confirmed an increase of microbial population during the reactor operation. In CFSTR test, TCE was fed continuously at 9.9 ppm (75.38 ${\mu}mol/L$) and the influent formate feed concentration increased stepwise from 1.3 mmol/L to 14.3 mmol/L. Injected TCE was accumulated at 18 days of HRT, but TCE was completely degraded at 36 days of HRT without accumulation of the injected-TCE during the left of experiment period, getting $H_2$ from fermentative hydrogen production of injected formate. Although c-DCE was also accumulated for 23 days after beginning of CFSTR operation, it reached steady-state in the presence of excessive formate. We also evaluated microbial dynamic of the culture at different chemical state in the reactor by DGGE (denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis).

Characteristics of microalgal growth was investigated using anaerobic effluent from two-phase animal waste digestor as substrate. Batch experiments were carried out to investigate the effect of the initial nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations on growth of Microcystis aeruginosa, Chlorella sp. and Euglena gracilis. In 400 times diluted anaerobic effluent (TN 3 mg/L), single cell growth of the Euglena gracilis population increased twice without delay, although Chlorella sp. and Microcystis aerugenos take over 144 hours. Similar appearance with single cell growth was observed in mixed cultures. However, microalgae population did not increase under condition of 10 times diluted influent (TP 3 mg/L) in both pure and mixed cultures, which was affected by high organic and nitrogen concentration. Logistic growth model successfully fitted to determine biokinetic parameters such as ${\lambda}$: lag time, ${\mu}m$: maximal specific growth rate, A: asymptote of growth.

A hyperthermophilic archaeon, $Thermococcus$ $onnurineus$ NA1 was studied to investigate its fermentation characteristics using various carbon sources including formate, maltose and carbon monoxide during the anaerobic batch cultivation at $80^{\circ}C$. Formate was the best carbon source for cell growth and hydrogen production among others. In the batch culture on formate, it was found that the cell concentration increased exponentially by 12 hrs of culture, after which the cell growth and formate consumption was retarded. Hydrogen production was continued more than 24 hrs although the cell growth was ceased at 18 hrs. Hydrogen production rate was directly correlated with the cell growth and formate degradation up to 18 hrs, and the average hydrogen production yield was 1.05 mole-$H_2$/mole-formate. Cell growth and hydrogen production were optimized at the initial pH 6-7, while inhibited at the initial pH lower than 5 and higher than 9.

Lactobacillus brevis, L. fermentum과 L. plantarum의 혼합젖산균을 사용하여 배양조건이 밀가루 용액의 발효에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 온도변화에 따른 pH와 총적정산도의 변화를 살펴본 결과 pH의 감소와 총적정산도의 증가가 가장 크게 나타난 $35^{\circ}C$를 밀가루 발효의 최적온도로 선정하였다. 5L발효조에서 질소가스를 1.0 vvm으로 첨가한 혐기적 조건보다 공기를 첨가한 호기적 조건에서 총적정산도의 증가와 pH의 감소가 더 크게 나타났다. 최적 산소공급 조건을 찾기 위하여 통기량을 1.0 vvm으로 고정하고 교반속도를 달리하여 밀가루 용액의 발효한 결과 총적정산도가 가장 크게 나타난 교반속도 250 rpm에 해당되는 산소 전달속도상수 $60\;hr^{-1}$에서 최적이었다. 선정된 최적 배양조건에서 밀가루 발효액의 생산성을 높이기 위하여 반복비율을 변화시키면서 pH-stat를 이용한 반복 유가식 배양을 수행하였다. 반복비율이 증가할수록 반복 간격시간은 증가하였으나 밀가루 발효의 최대 작동시간은 감소하였다. 최적 반복비율을 결정하기 위하여 단위시간 당 배양부피 당 생산된 밀가루 발효액의 부피와 최대가동시간 동안 배양부피 당 생산된 총 밀가루 발효액의 부피를 살펴본 결과 20%의 반복비율에서 최대값을 나타내었다. 혼합젖산균을 이용한 밀가루용액의 유가식 배양에서 최적조건은 배양온도 $35^{\circ}C$, 통기량 1.0 vvm, 산소전달속도 $60\;hr^{-1}$, 반복비율 20%로 나타났다.

본 연구에서는 양돈폐수의 생물학적 처리의 난점 중 하나인 NH$_4$-N이 혐기성 미생물에 미치는 영향을조사하기 위해 폐수를 여러 가지 비율로 희석하여 혐기성 회분식 배양을 시도하였으며 COD제거율과 NH$_4$-N의 농도를 측정 비교하였다. 또한 MgO를 첨가하여 폐수내의 NH$_4$-N를 $MgNH_4PO_4{cdot}6H_2O$의 결정체로 형성시킨 후 침전 제거하고 같은 조건에서 배양하였다. 3개월 이상 원폐수에서 적응된 master culture는 75%의 폐수와 25%의 희석수에서 빠른 COD 제거율을 보였으며, MAP법으로 NH$_4$-N를 60% 제거한 폐수에서는 200시간 후 80%이상의 COD 제거율을 보였다. 같은 조건에서 NH$_4$-N를 함유하고 있는 폐수는 50%정도의 COD 제거율을 보여, MAP법으로 NH$_4$-N를 제거한 폐수의 혐기성소화가 월등함을 알 수 있다. 특히 중요한 결과는 NH$_4$-N 농도가 혐기성 미생물에 미치는 영향보다는 C:N의 비율이 2이하일 때 치명적인 영향을 줌을 규명하였으며 MAP법에 의해 형성된 struvit는 혐기성 미생물에 독성 영향을 주지 않음을 알 수 있었다.

소화슬러지를 열처리한 혼합 배양 미생물을 식종균으로, 자당을 기질로 사용하는 혐기성 수소 생산 공정을 운전하면서 pH 조절, 반복 열처리, 기질 농도 변화 등을 통해 지속적인 수소 생산 방법을 고찰하였다. 유입 기질의 농도가 5g COD/L인 경우 운전 초기에는 $0.5mole\;H_2/mole\;hexose$ 이상의 수소가 발생하지만 9일 이상 지속되지 못하였다. 이러한 현상의 원인은 수소 생성균이 공정 내에서 고농도로 존재하지 못하기 때문인 것으로 판단되며 pH를 5.3으로 유지하는 것만으로는 극복될 수 없었다. 반복 열처리를 적용할 경우 별도의 식종균 재주입 없이 효율이 감소된 수소 생성 공정을 원상태로 복구할 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었으나, 수소 생성 효율이 시간에 따라 감소하므로 열처리를 자주 해야 하는 문제가 발생했다. 유입 기질의 농도가 30g COD/L인 경우에는 24일간 지속적인 수소 생성이 가능하였으며, CSTR의 경우 $1.0-1.4mole\;H_2/mole\;hexose$, ASBR의 경우에는 $0.2-0.3mole\;H_2/mole\;hexose$의 생성 효율을 보였다. 수소 생성 시 유출수 내 용존성 유기물의 90% 이상은 유기산이었으며 그 중 n-butyrate가 가장 많은 양을 차지하였다.

The potential for humic substances to serve as terminal electron acceptors in microbial respiration and the effects of humic substances on microbial azoreduction were investigated. The dissimilatory azoreducing microorganism Shewanella decolorationis S12 was able to conserve energy to support growth from electron transport to humics coupled to the oxidation of various organic substances or $H_2$. Batch experiments suggested that when the concentration of anthraquinone-2-sulfonate (AQS), a humics analog, was lower than 3 mmol/l, azoreduction of strain S12 was accelerated under anaerobic condition. However, there was obvious inhibition to azoreduction when the concentration of the AQS was higher than 5 mmol/l. Another humics analog, anthraquinone-2-sulfonate (AQDS), could still prominently accelerate azoreduction, even when the concentration was up to 12 mmol/l, but the rate of acceleration gradually decreased with the increasing concentration of the AQDS. Toxic experiments revealed that AQS can inhibit growth of strain S12 if the concentration past a critical one, but AQDS had no effect on the metabolism and growth of strain S12 although the concentration was up to 20 mmol/l. These results demonstrated that a low concentration of humic substances not only could serve as the terminal electron acceptors for conserving energy for growth, but also act as redox mediator shuttling electrons for the anaerobic azoreduction by S. decolorationis S12. However, a high concentration of humic substances could inhibit the bacterial azoreduction, resulting on the one hand from the toxic effect on cell metabolism and growth, and on the other hand from competion with azo dyes for electrons as electron acceptor.

Culture conditions for biological hydrogen production were investigated in wastewater of Takju manufacturing factory. Rhodobacter spaeroides KCTC1425, photosynthesis bacteria, and Enterobacter cloacae YJ-1, anaerobic bacteria were used. The hydrogen production were $195.3m{\ell}{\cdot}H_2/{\ell}$ broth for Rhodobacter spaeroides KCTC1425 and $271.8m{\ell}{\cdot}H_2/{\ell}$ broth for Enterobacter cloacae YJ-1 during 36 h. The hydrogen production increased with light intensity, and were highest over 12000Lux. In mixed culture of Rhodobacter spaeroides KCTC1425 and Enterobacter cloacae Y J-1, the optimum mixing ratio of hydrogen production was 20 and 80. Adding volume of yeast extract for maximum hydrogen production was 15 $g/{\ell}$, but there was no effect over that. $Na_2MoO_4$ was most effective among the inorganic salts, and the optimum volume was 0.4 $g/{\ell}$. In semi-continuous culture, total hydrogen production was $13086m{\ell}{\cdot}H_2/{\ell}$ broth for 144 h with operating period of 24 h.

This study was conducted to evaluate the characteristics of dark fermentative $H_2$ production from microalgae (Chlorella vulgaris) using batch reactors under mesophilic (25, $35^{\circ}C$) and thermophilic (45, $55^{\circ}C$) conditions. The $H_2$ yield and $H_2$ production rate increased with increasing temperature. The maximum $H_2$ yield and $H_2$ production rate were 56.77 mL $H_2/g$ dcw, 3.33 mL $H_2/g\;dcw{\cdot}h$ at $55^{\circ}C$, respectively. The activation energy calculated using Arrhenius equation was 36.24 kcal/mol, which was higher than that of dark $H_2$ fermentation of glucose by anaerobic mixed culture. Although the concentration of butyrate was maintained, the concentrations of lactate and acetate increased with increasing temperature. The $H_2$ yield was linearly proportional to acetate/ butyrate ratio.
