  • The hydrothermal carbonization method has received great attention because of the conversion process from biomass. The reaction produces various products in hydrochar, bio-liquid, and gas. Even though its yield cannot be ignored in amount, it is difficult to find research papers on bio-liquid generated from the hydrothermal carbonization reaction of biomass. In particular, the heterogeneity of feedstock composition may make the characterization of bio-liquid different and difficult. In this study, bio-liquid from the hydrothermal carbonization reaction of food wastes at $230^{\circ}C$ for 4 h was investigated. Among various products, fatty acid methyl esters were analyzed using two different extraction methods: liquid-liquid extraction and column chromatography. Different elutions with various solvents enabled us to categorize the various components. The eluents and fractions obtained from two different extraction methods were analyzed by gas chromatography with a mass spectrometer (GC/MS). The composition of the bio-liquid in each fraction was characterized, and seven fatty acid methyl esters were identified using the library installed in GC/MS device.

  • Integrating various pathway data collections to create new biological knowledge is a challenge, for which novel computational tools play a key role. For this purpose, we developed the Java-based conversion modules KGML2SBML and KGML2BioPAX to translate KGML (KEGG Markup Language) into a couple of common data exchange formats: SBML (Systems Biology Markup Language) and BioPAX (Biological Pathway Exchange). We hope that our work will be beneficial for other Java developers when they extend their bioinformatics system into SBML- or BioPAX-aware analysis tools. This is part of our ongoing effort to develop an ultimate KEGG-based pathway enrichment analysis system.

  • Methane is one of the major greenhouse gases, recently, the biotechnological conversion from methane to high-value added chemicals have emerged as an effort to reduce methane gas emission. In this study, we optimized ectoine bio-milking conditions in which cells were repeatedly used to improve intracellular and extracellular ectoine yield from methane by using Methylomicrobium alcaliphilum 20ZDP2. First, the cultivation and intracellular ectoine accumulation conditions were optimized with respect to the growth phase and medium salinity to achieve the highest yield of synthesis. Second, ectoine excretion was optimized by determining the ectoine secretion time (15 min) in appropriate medium salinity under hypoosmotic conditions (1% NaCl). Finally, bio-milking of ectoine was successfully repeated more than 10 times using M. alcaliphilum 20ZDP2, and the ectoine yield was improved up to 129.29 mg/ DCW g.

  • Korean ginseng (Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer) has been used as an important medicinal plant in the Orient for a long time. It has been claimed that ginseng has many beneficial bioactive effects on human health, such as antitumor, antistress, antiaging and enhancing immune functions. Red ginseng possibly have new ingredients converted during steaming and dry process from fresh ginseng. Kujeungkupo method which means 9 repetitive steaming and drying process was used for the processes of green tea, Polygonatum odoratum, and Rehmanniae radix preparata. In this study, ingredient conversion of ginseng by 9 repetitive steaming and drying process were investigated measuring conversion efficiency of brown materials, crude lipids, crude proteins and aromatic compounds. Brown materials, as an antioxidant, in red ginseng were produced through non-enzymatic reaction by heat. Repetitive steaming and drying treatments on ginseng root contiunously increased the content of brown materials and the chromaticity. Crude lipids were degraded by heat and converted into volatile aromatic ingredients. Crude lipids were degraded and decreased by 0.52% after the 5th and 7th. Crude proteins were also decomposed and converted to amino acid. Crude proteins after the 9th treatment were decreased by more than 85% as increased times of treatments. A bicyclogermacrene as aromatic material was decreased as increased treatment times, while but a aromatic caramel was increased.

  • 우라늄 변환시설 가동 중 발생하여 라군(lagoon)에 저장중인 방사성 슬러지 폐기물에 대한 처리는 시설 해체과정에서 매우 중요한 업무 중 하나이다. 슬러지 구성성분 중 다량을 차지하는 질산암모늄의 폭발 위험성 등으로 인해 미생물을 이용한 질산염의 분해는 질산염을 안정적으로 처리할 수 있는 효과적인 방법이라 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 라군 슬러지의 약 60 wt%를 차지하는 질산염을 혐기성 균주의 하나인 Pseudomonas halodenidificans를 이용하여 탈질하기위한 공정 변수에 대한 영향을 평가하였다. 온도, 질산염 농도, 전자공여체의 영향, C/N 비율, 초기 접종하는 균주의 비율, pH등의 공정변수에 대하여 실험한 이번 결과는 향후 연속식 공정 설계를 위한 기초 자료로 사용될 것이다.

  • Synthesis of the fluorescent Au nanoclusters is reported. The Au nanoclusters were synthesized via reduction of gold ions in reverse micelles with mild reducing agents. The Au nanoclusters show a bright red emission at 640 nm. The fluorescent Au nanoclusters attract great interest for sensor, electronic device and bio-imaging applications because of ultra-small size, high chemical stablity and bright emission. We believe that the fluorescent Au nanoclusters can have optoelectronic applications such as optical down conversion phosphors.

  • Even though it represents $6-13\%$ of human genomic DNA, Alu sequences are rarely found in coding regions. When in exon region, over $80\%$ of them are found in 3' untranslated region (UTR). Pseudogenes are an important component of human genome. Their functions are not clearly known and the mechanism of how they are generated is still debatable. Both the Alu and Pseudogenes are important research problems in molecular biology. mRNA is thought to be a prime source of pseudogene and active research is going on its molecular mechanism. We report, for the first time, that mRNAs containing Alu repeats at 3' UTR has a significantly high correlation with processed pseudogenes, suggesting a possibility that Alu containing mRNAs have a high tendency to become processed pseudogenes. It is known that about $10\%$ of all human genes have been transposed. Transposed genes at 3' UTR without Alu repeat have about two processed pseudogenes per gene on average while we found with statistical significance that a transposed gene with Alu had over three processed Pseudogenes on average. Therefore, we propose Alu repeats as a new and important factor in the generation of pseudogenes.
