수중의 미량 유해물질 제거를 위해 AOP 공정에 대한 관심이 증대되고 있다. 낙동강 하류에 위치한 정수장들은 대부분 $O_3/BAC$ 공정을 채택하여 운전 중에 있으며, AOP 공정의 일종인 peroxone 공정의 적용에 많은 관심을 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 $O_3/BAC$ 공정을 운전 중인 정수장에서 과산화수소를 투입할 경우에 후단의 BAC 공정에서의 잔류 과산화수소의 제거 특성을 biofiltration 공정과 함께 평가하였다. 유입수의 수온 및 과산화수소 농도변화 실험에서 biofilteration 공정은 낮은 수온에서 유입수 중의 과산화수소 농도가 증가하면 급격히 생물분해능이 저하된 반면, BAC 공정에서는 비교적 안정적인 효율을 유지하였다. 유입수의 수온을 $20^{\circ}C$, 과산화수소 투입농도를 300 mg/L로 고정하여 78시간 동안 연속으로 투입한 실험에서 biofilteration 공정은 EBCT 5~15분의 경우 운전 24~71시간 후에는 유입된 과산화수소가 거의 제거되지 않았으나, BAC 공정에서는 78시간 후의 과산화수소 제거율이 EBCT 5~15분일 때 38%~91%로 나타났다. 또한, 78시간 동안 연속 투입실험 후의 biofilter와 BAC 부착 박테리아들의 생체량과 활성도는 각각 $6.0{\times}10^4CFU/g$과 $0.54mg{\cdot}C/m^3{\cdot}hr$ 및 $0.4{\times}10^8CFU/g$과 $1.42mg{\cdot}C/m^3{\cdot}hr$로 나타나 운전초기에 비해 biofilter에서는 생체량과 활성도가 각각 99%와 72% 감소하였으며, BAC의 경우는 각각 68%와 53%의 감소율을 나타내었다. BAC 공정에서 생물분해 속도상수($k_{bio}$)와 반감기($t_{1/2}$)를 조사한 결과, 수온 $5^{\circ}C$에서 과산화수소 농도가 10 mg/L에서 300 mg/L로 증가할수록 $k_{bio}$는 $1.173min^{-1}$에서 $0.183min^{-1}$으로 감소하였고, $t_{1/2}$은 0.591 min에서 3.787 min으로 증가하였다. 수온 $25^{\circ}C$의 경우 $k_{bio}$와 $t_{1/2}$은 $1.510min^{-1}$에서 $0.498min^{-1}$ 및 0.459 min에서 1.392 min으로 나타나 수온 $5^{\circ}C$에 비해 수온이 $15^{\circ}C$와 $25^{\circ}C$로 상승할 경우 $k_{bio}$는 각각 1.1배~2.1배 및 1,3배~4.4배 정도 증가하였다. $O_3/BAC$ 공정을 운전 중인 정수장에서 peroxone 공정의 적용을 위해 과산화수소 투입을 고려할 경우, 후단의 BAC 공정에서 잔류 과산화수소를 효과적으로 제거 가능하였고, 고농도의 과산화수소 유출사고시에는 BAC 공정의 EBCT를 최대한 증가시켜 운전할 경우 수중의 과산화수소 농도를 최대한 저감시킬 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

It is clear that the construction of large insert DNA libraries is important for map-based gene cloning, the assembly of physical maps, and simple screening for specific genomic sequences. The bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) system is likely to be an important tool for map-based cloning of genes since BAC libraries can be constructed simply and analyzed more efficiently than yeast artificial chromosome (YAC) libraries. BACs have significantly expanded the size of fragments from eukaryotic genomes that can be cloned in Escherichia coli as plasmid molecules. To facilitate the isolation of molecular-biologically important genes in Ashbya gossypii, we constructed Ashbya chromosome-specific BAC libraries using pBeloBAC11 and pBACwich vectors with an average insert size of 100 kb, which is equivalent to 19.8X genomic coverage. pBACwich was developed to streamline map-based cloning by providing a tool to integrate large DNA fragments into specific sites in chromosomes. These chromosome-specific libraries have provided a useful tool for the further characterization of the Ashbya genome including positional cloning and genome sequencing.

Heart failure (HF) has become one of the severe public health problems. The detailed role of mitochondrial function in HF was still unclear. Benzoylaconine (BAC) is a traditional Chinese medicine, but its role in HF still needs to be explored. In this study, oxygen-glucose deprivation and reperfusion (OGD/R) was executed to mimic the injury of H9C2 cells in HF. The viability of H9C2 cells was assessed via MTT assay. OGD/R treatment markedly decreased the viability of H9C2 cells, but BAC treatment evidently increased the viability of OGD/R-treated H9C2 cells. The apoptosis of H9C2 was enhanced by OGD/R treatment but suppressed by BAC treatment. The mitochondrial membrane potential was evaluated via JC-1 assay. BAC improved the mitochondrial function and suppressed oxidative stress in OGD/R-treated H9C2 cells. Moreover, Western blot analysis revealed that the protein expression of p-AMPK and PGC-1α were reduced in OGD/R-treated H9C2 cells, which was reversed by BAC. Rescue assays indicated that AMPK attenuation reversed the BAC-mediated protective effect on OGD/R-treated cardiomyocytes. Moreover, BAC alleviated myocardial injury in vivo. In a word, BAC modulated the mitochondrial function in OGD/R-induced cardiomyocyte injury by activation of the AMPK/PGC-1 axis. The findings might provide support for the application of BAC in the treatment of HF.

Background: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a major cause of severe lower respiratory tract diseases in infancy and early childhood. Despite its importance as a pathogen, there is no licensed vaccine against RSV yet. The attachment glycoprotein (G) of RSV is a potentially important target for protective antiviral immune responses. Recombinant baculovirus has been recently emerged as a new vaccine vector, since it has intrinsic immunostimulatory properties and good bio-safety profile. Methods: We have constructed a recombinant baculovirus-based RSV vaccine, Bac-RSV/G, displaying G glycoprotein, and evaluated immunogenicity and protective efficacy by intranasal immunization of BALB/c mice with Bac-RSV/G. Results: Bac-RSV/G efficiently provides protective immunity against RSV challenge. Strong serum IgG and mucosal IgA responses were induced by intranasal immunization with Bac-RSV/G. In addition to humoral immunity, G-specific Th17- as well as Th1-type T-cell responses were detected in the lungs of Bac-RSV/G-immune mice upon RSV challenge. Neither lung eosinophilia nor vaccine-induced weight loss was observed upon Bac-RSV/G immunization and subsequent RSV infection. Conclusion: Our data demonstrate that intranasal administration of baculovirus-based Bac-RSV/G vaccine is efficient for the induction of protection against RSV and represents a promising prophylactic vaccination regimen.

Open reading frame 4 of Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV), designated as Bm4, is a gene whose function is completely unknown. With the recently developed BmNPV bacmid and a modified pFastBac1 whose polyhedrin promoter was replaced with ie1 promoter, a recombinant bacmid expressing Bm4-EGFP fusion protein under the control of ie1 promoter in BmN cells was successfully constructed. The result not only showed that the polyhedrin promoter can be replaced efficiently with other promoters to direct the expression of foreign gene in BmN cells by using Bac-to-Bac/BmNPV baculovirus expression system but also laid the foundation for rescue experiment of Bm4 deletion mutant due to the ability of ie1 promoter to direct gene expression throughout the infection cycle.

In this article, the removal of surfactant by ozone and BAC was studied. Batch and pilot tests were carried out for these studies. In batch tests, efficiency of ozone oxidation process was evaluated for LAS(Linear Alkylbenzen Sulfonate) and SLS(Sodium Lauryl Sulfate) removal. Under oxidant conditions, the removal of LAS was more effective than that of SLS. The removal of surfactant was more enhanced with increasing pH in oxidant systems. Pilot tests are carried out with BAC single process and ozone oxidation/BAC combined process. The removal of LAS was more effective in ozone oxidation/BAC combined process than BAC single process about 10-20%. In the case of SLS, the efficiency of BAC single process was similar to that of ozone oxidation BAC combined process. According to temperature, the removal efficiency of SLS changed from 70% to 95% and initial concentration of surfactant had no effects on removal efficiency of SLC under applied temperature above $15^{\circ}C$.

The taxonomic and functional characteristics of bacterial communities in the pre-chlorinated rapid filters and ozonated biological activated carbon (BAC) filters were compared using Illumina MiSeq sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene and community-level physiological profiling (CLPP) based on sole-carbon-source utilization patterns. Both the rapid filters and BAC filters were dominated by Rhizobiales within ${\alpha}-proteobacteria$, but other abundant orders and genera were significantly different in both types of filter. Firmicutes were abundant only in the intermediate chlorinated rapid filter, while Acidobacteria were abundant only in the BAC filters. Bacterial communities in the rapid filter showed high utilization of carbohydrates, while those in the BAC filters showed high utilization of polymers and carboxylic acids. These different characteristics of the bacterial communities could be related to the different substrates in the influents, filling materials, and residual disinfectants. Chlorination and ozonation inactivated the existing bacteria in the influent and formed different bacterial communities, which could be resistant to the oxidants and effectively utilize different substrates produced by the oxidant, including Phreatobacter in the rapid filters and Hyphomicrobium in the BAC filters. Bradyrhizobium and Leptothrix, which could utilize compounds adsorbed on the GAC, were abundant in the BAC filters. Ozonation increased taxonomic diversity but decreased functional diversity of the bacterial communities in the BAC filters. This study provides some new insights into the effects of oxidation processes and filling materials on the bacterial community structure in the biological filters of drinking water treatment plants.
