바이오매스 전처리에 효과적인 이온성 액체로 주목받고 있는 1-ethyl-3- methylimidazolium acetate를 사용하여 리기다소나무(pitch pine)로부터 리그닌을 추출하였고, 추출한 리그닌(Ionic Liquid Lignin : ILL)의 화학구조적 특성을 동일한 수종에서 단리한 milled wood lignin (MWL)과 비교분석하였다. 작용기 분석 결과 ILL과 MWL은 각각 10.0, 7.2%의 페놀성 수산기와 4.9, 11.0%의 메톡실기를 갖는 것으로 나타났다. ILL의 중량평균 분자량(3,995 Da)은 MWL (8,438 Da)에 비해 약 2배 정도 낮았으며, 다분산지수는 1.36으로 MWL (3.18)보다 낮은 값을 보였다. ILL의 열중량 분석 결과에 의하면 최대중량감소율(Vm)이 나타나는 온도(Tm)는 $306.6^{\circ}C$로 MWL ($341.9^{\circ}C$)보다 낮아 ILL이 MWL에 비해 열적으로 불안정하다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

Phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB) were isolated from the rhizosphere of Chinese cabbage and screened on the basis of their solubilization of inorganic tricalcium phosphate in liquid cultures. Ten strains that had higher solubilization potential were selected, and they also produced indole-3-acetic acid, 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) deaminase, and siderophores. The strains were identified to be members of Pseudomonas, by 16S rDNA sequence analysis. Seed bacterization with PSB strains increased the root elongation and biomass of Chinese cabbage in seedling culture, although they had no effect on phosphorus uptake of plants. The plant growth promotion by PSB in this study could be due to the production of phytohormones or mechanisms other than phosphate solubilization, since they had no effect on P nutrition.

An approximated analytical solution of mathematical model for the three phase fluidized bed bioreactor (TFBBR) was proposed using the linearization technique to describe oxygen utilization rate in wastewater treatment. The validation of the model was done in comparison with the experimental results. Satisfactory agreement was obtained in the comparison of approximated analytical solution and numerical solution in the oxygen concentration profile of a TFBBR. The approximated solutions for three modes of the liquid phase flow were compared. The proposed model was able to predict the biomass concentration, dissolved oxygen concentration the height of efficient column, and the removal efficiency.

Chlorophyll a (chl a) has been used as an indicator for phytoplankton biomass in pelagic ecosystems due to the relative ease of measurement and selectivity for autotrophs in mixed plankton assemblages. However, the use of chi a as an indicator for phytoplankton biomass is restricted due to its inability to resolve taxonomic differences of phytoplankton and the highly variable relationship of chi a with phytoplankton. Here, we describe the analysis of High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) photosynthetic pigment data using CHEMTAX, which is a matrix factorization program that uses chemical taxonomic indices (phytoplankton carotenoids) to quantify the abundance of phytoplankton groups. Compared to direct microscopic counting that can distinguish species within broad groups, the resolution of taxonomic groups by CHEMTAX is generally coarse. It can only distinguish between diatoms, dinoflagellates, cryptophytes, cyanobacteria, chlorophytes, prasinophytes, and haptophytes. However, CHEMTAX analysis is much faster and less expensive than microscopic counting methods. HPLC pigment observations were taken in the spring, summer, fall, and winter in$ 2005\sim2006$ within Gamak Bay, South Korea. CHEMTAX results revealed that diatoms were the dominant taxonomic group in Gamak Bay. In inner Gamak Bay, the ratio between diatoms and cryptophytes was $75\sim80%$, and the ratio between dinoflagellates and cryptophytes was $10\sim15%$. In outer Gamak Bay, the ratio between diatoms and cryptophytes was $85\sim90%$, and the ratio between dinflagellates and cryptophytes was only $1\sim5%$. The population structure was seasonal. Relative diatom populations were less in the summer than the winter season.

저농도의 난 수용성 VOC가스가 포함되어 있는 다량의 오염가스를 처리하기 위하여 흡수탑과 생물반응기의 결합체인 새로운 처리시스템을 제시하였다. 바이오스크러버의 스크러버에서는 세정액으로 기상중의 처리대상오염물질의 흡수가 일어나며 세정액은 생물반응기로 이송되어 호기성 미생물이 오염물을 분해시킨다. 본 연구에서는 폐가스중의 VOC분리를 위하여 재순환가능한 고비점용매를 사용하였다. 고비점용매를 포함한 세정액은 기/액 향류접촉이 이루어지는 흡수탑의 충전층에서 폐가스중의 오염물을 분리한다. 흡수탑은 Pall ring충전제로 채워 실제공정을 모사 하고자 하였다. 흡수처리후 생물반응기로 이송된 흡수액은 재생 후 다시 흡수탑으로 재 순환하였다. 실험에 사용된 대상가스는 농도가 400 mg/$\textrm{m}^3$ 인 톨루엔으로, 세정액이 가스흐름과 향류로 약 10~15L/min의 유량으로 충전층을 적시며 내려오는 충전탑내부로 약 100 L/min의 유량으로 도입하였다. VOC처리를 위해 제작된 본 바이오스크러버에서 고비점용매를 이용한 연속실험결과 최적운전 조건에서 약 80%의 처리율을 얻을 수 있었다.

Geotrichum candidum (KCTC 6195)를 이용하여 색도제거를 위한 최적조건은 초기 pH 6, $30^{\circ}C$, glucose 농도 30 g/L이었으며 빛은 세포성장과 색도제거에 영향을 주지 않았다. 한편, 세포성장과 색도제거를 위해서는 세포의 성장원(glucose)이 필수적이었다. 염료의 종류에 따라 색도제거량과 속도는 차이가 있지만 분산염료, 산성염료, 반응염료에 대해 색도제거가 고체배치와 액체배치에서 가능했으며 Acid goange 10 염료의 경우 배양 후 120 시간 후에는 초기 100 ppm에서 91%로, 초기 500ppm에서 84%까지 색도제거되는 것을 알 수 있었다. 색도제거에서 Acid red 1: 19.8%, Acid red 88, 73%, Acid orange 10; 12.1%, Reactive blue 19; 14.6%가 흡착으로 제거되었다. 이로서 효소에 의한 색도제거뿐만 아니라 흡착에 의해 색도제거됨을 알 수 있었다. 2일간 배양하고 glucose를 첨가하여 1일간 추가 배양한 경우 97%까지 색도제거 되었다.

The degree of autolysis and presence of cell-wall degrading enzymes in an anaerobic ruminal fungus, Piromyces communis OTSI, grown in liquid medium, was monitored to evaluate the effect of self-digestion on fungal biomass. After a 30 days incubation period fungal dry weight decreased by 45% and the cell wall component chitin decreased by 22%. Chitinase activity detected in the supernatant was mainly of the endotype and peaked at day 6 of the incubation. ${\beta}-1$, 3-glucanase was detected from day 4 and increased throughout the incubation period. Autolysis was a slow process, and under natural conditions it is unlikely that it plays a significant role in the degradation of the spent fungal vegetative stage in the rumen.

The green alga, Dunaliella salina under fed-batch cultivation produced 51.12 mg of hydrocarbon per liter with maintaining 0.313 (g dry wt/l). About 20% of hydrocarbon production yield based on dry biomass was obtained from both batch and fed-batch processes. Optimum culture conditions of light intensity, pH and salt concentration were obtained as 0.0080 (kJ/$cm^2$/h), 8.0 and 1.4 (g of NaCl/l), respectively by response surface analysis. The production of hydrocarbons in D. salina was closely correlated to cell growth. Fed-batch cultivation produced more hydrocarbons and maintained better cell growth than a batch process.

A phenanthrene-degrading bacterium was isolated from an oil-spilled intertidal sediment sample and identified as Sphingomonas sp. KH3-2. The strain degraded polycyclic aromatic compounds such naphthalene, fluorene, biphenyl, and dibenzothiophene. When strain KH3-2 was cultured for 28 days at 25C, a total of 500 ppm of phenanthrene was degrated with a concomitant production of biomass and Folin-Ciocalteau reactive aromatic intermediates. Analysis of intermediates during phenanthrene degradation using high-performance liquid chromatography and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry indicated that Sphingomonas sp. KH3-2 primarily degrades phenanthrene to 1-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid (1H2NA) and further metabolizes 1H2NA through the degradation pathway of naphthalene.

A sustainable method was developed for the upgrade of biomass derived vanillin (a typical model compound of lignin) into the potential liquid biofuels over a layered double hydroxide supported Pd catalyst (abbreviated as CoAl-LDH/Pd). The CoAl-LDH/Pd catalyst showed high catalytic activity towards the hydrodeoxygenation of vanillin into 2-methoxy-4-methylphenol (MMP) under mild conditions in aqueous media. High MMP yield up to 86% was produced at $120^{\circ}C$ after 4 h. Kinetic studies revealed that the rate-determining step for the hydrodeoxygenation of vanillin was the hydrogenolysis of vanillyl alcohol. More importantly, the CoAl-LDH/Pd catalyst was highly stable without the loss of activity.
