Manure-based composts can have detrimental effects on the agricultural lands and crops if they are applied without proper stabilization process. Composting is well-known method for the stabilization of manure-based composts and the extent of composting could be examined by maturity test. Among various methods to examine compost maturity, the performances of two mechanical methods (Solvita and CoMMe-100) were examined and the test results were compared with seed germination test. The mechanical methods are considered to be simple and relatively objective. Also they are cost- and time-efficient. Ten commercially available composts collected in Korea were used for this study. Basically, the maturity determined with these mechanical methods was in good agreement with the seed germination test. However, it appeared that the index levels of compost maturity indicated more maturity by CoMMe-100 than Solvita for the same compost. The differences between maturity index levels determined by both methods were able to be minimized through extending the reaction time for CoMMe-100 and adjusting index level for maturity determination in the standard color chart.

표고(Lentinula edodes), 노루궁뎅이(Hericium erinaceus), 느타리(Pleurotus ostreatus)의 버섯수확후배지(spent mushroom substrate, SMS)를 퇴비화에 활용하였다. 퇴비화 온도변화는 50℃ 이상에서 7일에서 10일 동안 지속되어 30일에 부숙이 완료되었다. 퇴비화 된 LeCSMS, HeCSMS는 130%, 80% 무종자에 대한 종자 발아지수를 보여 부숙 도에 대한 종자 발아지수를 충족하였다. 퇴비화에 따른 물리 화학적 변화를 조사 한 바 pH 범위가 4-5에서 6-7로 증가 되었고 EC는 1-1.4 dS/m로 소폭 감소되었으며 유기질 함량은 LeCSMS에서 36.9%로 SMS에 비하여 60% 이상 가장 큰 폭으로 감소 되었다. LeCSMS를 기준으로 N (1.2%), P(2.3%), K(0.77%)함량이 조사되었으며 중금속은 모든 CSMS에서 기준치 이하였으며 Ca, Mg는 30%에서 60%이상 증가하였다. C/N비는 LeCSMS, HeCSMS에서 15% 낮았으나 PoSMS에서 32%로 높게 나타났다. LeCSMS 처리에 따른 고추 유묘 생육효과는 시판 유기퇴비 처리구 등 대조 구에 비하여 초장이 60%이상 높게 성장했으며 옆폭, 옆장, 옆수에서 다른 대조 구에 비하여 모두 우수한 생육 효과를 보였다.

Calcium concentration in the bone resorption lacunae is high and is in the mM concentration range. Both osteoblast and osteoclast have calcium sensing receptor in the cell surface, suggesting the regulatory role of high extracellular calcium in bone metabolism. In vitro, high extracellular calcium stimulated osteoclastogenesis in coculture of mouse osteoblasts and bone marrow cells. Therefore we examined the genes that were commonly regulated by both high extracellular calcium and $1,25(OH)_2vitaminD_3(VD3)$ by using mouse oligo 11 K gene chip. In the presence of 10 mM $[Ca^{2+}]e$ or 10 nM VD3, mouse calvarial osteoblasts and bone marrow cells were co-cultured for 4 days when tartrate resistant acid phosphatase-positive multinucleated cells start to appear. Of 11,000 genes examined, the genes commonly regulated both by high extracellular calcium and by VD3 were as follows; 1) the expression of genes which were osteoclast differentiation markers or were associated with osteoclastogenesis were up-regulated both by high extracellular calcium and by VD3; trap, mmp9, car2, ctsk, ckb, atp6b2, tm7sf4, rab7, 2) several chemokine and chemokine receptor genes such as sdf1, scya2, scyb5, scya6, scya8, scya9, and ccr1 were up-regulated both by high extracellular calcium and by VD3, 3) the genes such as mmp1b, mmp3 and c3 which possibly stimulate bone resorption by osteoclast, were commonly up-regulated, 4) the gene such as c1q and msr2 which were related with macrophage function, were commonly down-regulated, 5) the genes which possibly stimulate osteoblast differentiation and/or mineralization of extracellular matrix, were commonly down-regulated; slc8a1, admr, plod2, lox, fosb, 6) the genes which possibly suppress osteoblast differentiation and/or mineralization of extracellular matrix, were commonly up-regulated; s100a4, npr3, mme, 7) the genes such as calponin 1 and tgfbi which possibly suppress osteoblast differentiation and/or mineralization of extracellular matrix, were up-regulated by high extracellular calcium but were down-regulated by VD3. These results suggest that in coculture condition, both high extracellular calcium and VD3 commonly induce osteoclastogenesis but suppress osteoblast differentiation/mineralization by regulating the expression of related genes.
