Bioleaching studies of metals from a spent catalyst were conducted using both adapted and unadapted bacterial cultures. The bacterium used in this experiment was Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans. A comparison of the kinetics of leaching was made between the two cultures by varying the leaching parameters, including the pulp density, particle size and temperature. Both cultures showed similar effects with respect to the above parameters, but the leaching rates of all metals were higher with the adapted compared to the unadapted bacterial cultures. The leaching reactions were continued for 240 h in the case of the unadapted bacterial culture, but only for 40 h in the case of the adapted bacterial culture. The leaching reactions followed first order kinetics. In addition, the kinetics of leaching was concluded to be a diffusion control model; therefore, the product layers were impervious.

Objectives This experimental study was performed to investigate the continuous anti-bacterial potency of Coptidis rhizoma extract on cultivation of Staphylococcus species(S. aureus, S. epidermidis) that induce eye disease. Methods Minimal inhibitory concentration(MIC) was measured by dropping to $50{\mu}l$ diluted Coptidis rhizoma extract(100%, 10%, 1%, 0.1%) on S. aureus, S. epidermidis that were cultivated from 2 to 6 days. Anti-bacterial potency was measured by the size of inhibition zone with change of volume($20{\mu}l,\;30{\mu}l,\;40{\mu}l,\;50{\mu}l$). Results 1. Anti-bacterial potency of Coptidis rhizoma extract on S. aureus was appeared in 100%, 10% and was the same as anti-bacterial potency of 2 days and 6 days. Anti-bacterial potency with change of volume(100%) was increased in propotion to increase volume on all samples. Anti-bacterial potency with change of volume(10%) was increased in propotion to increase volume on all samples except $20{\mu}l$. Anti-bacterial potency of Coptidis rhizoma extract on S. aureus was appeared continuous. 2. Anti-bacterial potency of Coptidis rhizoma extract on S. epidermidis was appeared in 100%, 10% and was the same as anti-bacterial potency of 2 days and 6 days. Anti-bacterial potency with change of volume(100%) was increased in propotion to increase volume on all samples. Anti-bacterial potency with change of volume(10%) was appeared in $50{\mu}l$. Anti-bacterial potency of Coptidis rhizoma extract on S. epidermidis was appeared continuous. Conclusions Anti-bacterial potency of Coptidis rhizoma extract on cultivation of S. aureus & S. epidermidis was showed continuous.

Using recombinant DNA technology, the vector system containing minimal fragment of a bacterial hemoglobin gene (vgb) was constructed. When this vector was inserted into Escherichia coli, the growth of the host was significantly improved in both viable cell counts and absorbance measurement, compared to that of the wild type strain. In addition, by minimizing the size of bacterial hemoglobin in the vector, the ability of vgb in growth improvement was augmented, due to the reduction of metabolic burden from the maintenance and replication of the plasmid. By using this system, it is expected that the growth of microorganisms can be improved even in the hypoxic condition.

Light hydrocarbons accumulated in subsurface soil by long-term microseepage could favor the anomalous growth of indigenous hydrocarbon-oxidizing microorganisms, which could be crucial indicators of underlying petroleum reservoirs. Here, Illumina MiSeq sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene was conducted to determine the bacterial community structures in soil samples collected from three typical oil and gas fields at different locations in China. Incubation with n-butane at the laboratory scale was performed to confirm the presence of "universal microbes" in light-hydrocarbon microseepage ecosystems. The results indicated significantly higher bacterial diversity in next-to-well samples compared with background samples at two of the three sites, which were notably different to oil-contaminated environments. Variation partitioning analysis showed that the bacterial community structures above the oil and gas fields at the scale of the present study were shaped mainly by environmental parameters, and geographic location was able to explain only 7.05% of the variation independently. The linear discriminant analysis effect size method revealed that the oil and gas fields significantly favored the growth of Mycobacterium, Flavobacterium, and Pseudomonas, as well as other related bacteria. The relative abundance of Mycobacterium and Pseudomonas increased notably after n-butane cultivation, which highlighted their potential as biomarkers of underlying oil deposits. This work contributes to a broader perspective on the bacterial community structures shaped by long-term light-hydrocarbon microseepage and proposes relatively universal indicators, providing an additional resource for the improvement of microbial prospecting of oil and gas.

해양 종속영양 박테리아는 수생태계에서 미소생물환의 주요 구성원으로 유기물의 분해 등 생지화학적 순환에서 중요한 역할을 한다. 해양 생태계의 물질 순환과 에너지 흐름을 이해하기 위해서는 박테리아의 변동에 대한 연구 조사가 중요하다. 본 연구는 방조제 건설로 변형된 영산강 하구 해수역을 대상으로 박테리아와 환경인자들의 월 변동 양상을 조사하였고, 박테리아 변동의 주요인자인 식물플랑크톤(chlorophyll-a)과의 상관성을 크기별로 구분하여 파악하고자 하였다. 연구 결과, 영산강 하구의 박테리아는 저층보다 표층에서 높은 개체수를 보였으며, 겨울철보다 여름철에 개체수가 높았다. 그리고 방조제에 가까울수록 개체수가 증가하였으며, 방조제와 가장 인접한 정점에서 2018년 8월, 9월 그리고 2019년 6월에 최대치로 증가하였다. 박테리아의 개체수가 높았던 정점과 시기에 식물플랑크톤의 생체량도 증가하면서 통계분석결과에서도 양의 상관성을 보였고 크기별로도 모두 유사한 상관성을 보였다. 이러한 결과는 식물플랑크톤 기원의 유기물이 박테리아 변동에 영향을 미치고 있고 크기별로 그 영향의 차이가 없음을 제시하고 있다. 또한 수온에 비례하여 증가하는 박테리아의 계절 분포는 박테리아의 성장에 대한 수온의 영향을 보여주는 결과라 볼 수 있다. 그 외에 간헐적인 담수 유입을 통한 영양염 공급과 박테리아의 개체수 변동의 연관성은 관찰되지 않았다. 본 연구에서는 또한 특정시기에 성층이 거의 없는 조건에서 용존산소가 고갈되는 빈산소층이 관찰되었는데 이는 식물플랑크톤 기원 유기물 공급과 박테리아의 분해로 인한 산소 소모의 결과로 추정된다.

소양호에서 식물 플랑크톤이 분비하는 유기물의 분자량 크이게 따른 세균수와 활성의 변화를 측정하였다. 소양호 상걸리 유역에서 여름철에 채수한 물을 tangential flow ultrafiltration 으로 용존 유기물질을 100,000 nMW~0.1$\mu\textrm{m}$, 10,000 nMW~100,000 nMW와 1,000 nMW~10000 nMW의 3개 fraction으로 구분하였고, 여기에 호숫물을 접종하여, 세균수와 $\beta$-glucosidase 의 변화를 측정하였다. 배양기간 동안에 나타난 총세균수는 24시간까지 급격히 증가한 후 점차 안정적으로 변하는 전형적인 성장곡선을 나타내었으며, DOC 농도와 종류가 달랐음에도 , $1.2{\times}10^{7}$ cells $ml^(-1)$범위였고, 저분자 fraction에 비해 최고 1,000배 이상 높았다. 즉 10,000 nMW 이상의 고분자 용존 유기물질은 $\beta$-glucosidase의 유도체로 작용하며, 저분자 용존 유기물질은 $\beta$-glucosidase 활성도를 높이지 못하는 것으로 확인되었다.

Poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO)/functionalized bacterial cellulose nanowhiskers (f-BCNW) (0.1 wt%) composite nanofibers were fabricated by electrospinning process and the thermomechanical properties were significantly enhanced more than the PEO and PEO/bacterial cellulose nanowhiskers (BCNW) (0.1 wt%) composite nanofibers. The functionalization of BCNW (f-BCNW) was performed by microwave plasma treatment for effects of nitrogen functionalization of chemically-driven BCNW. The N-containing functional groups of f-BCNW enhanced chemical bonding between the hydroxyl groups of the polymer chains in the PEO matrix and diameter size of PEO/f-BCNW (0.1 wt%) composite nanofibers were decreased more than PEO and PEO/BCNW (0.1 wt%) composite nanofibers on the same concentration. The strong interfacial interactions between the f-BCNW nanofillers and polymer matrix were improved the thermomechanical properties such as crystallization temperature, weight loss and glass transition temperature (Tg) compared to PEO and PEO/BCNW composites nanofibers. The results demonstrated that N2 plasma treatment of BCNW is very useful in improving thermal stability for bio-applications.
