Bioremediation is one of the most effective ways to remediate TPH-contaminated sites. However, under actual field conditions that are not at the optimum temperature, degradation of microorganisms is generally reduced, which is why the efficiency of biodegradation is known to be significantly affected by the soil temperature. Therefore, in this study, the labscale experiment was conducted using indigenous crude oil degrading microorganisms isolated from crude oil contaminated site to evaluate the remediation efficiency. Crude oil degrading microorganisms were isolated from crude oil contaminated soil and temperature, which is a significant factor affecting the remediation efficiency of land farming, was adjusted to evaluate the microbial crude oil degrading ability, degradation time, and remediation efficiency. In order to assess the field applicability, the remediation efficiency was evaluated using crude oil contaminated soil (average TPH concentration of 10,000 mg/kg or more) from the OO premises. Followed by the application of microorganisms at 30℃, the bioremediation process reduced its initial TPH concentration of 10,812 mg/kg down to 1,890 mg/kg in 56 days, which was about an 83% remediation efficiency. By analyzing the correlation among the total number of cells, the number of effective cells, and TPH concentration, it was found that the number of effective microorganisms drastically increased during the period from 10 to 20 days while there was a sharp decrease in TPH concentration. Therefore, we confirmed the applicability of land farming with isolated microorganisms consortium to crude oil contaminated site, which is also expected to be applicable to bioremediation of other recalcitrant materials.

다환 방향족 탄화수소(PAH; polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon)는 발암성, 돌연변이 유발성, 유전독성을 지니기 때문에 인체위해성이 큰 물질로 알려져 있다. 기존 PAH 분해 미생물 탐색 방법중 독성이 강한 유기용매에 PAH를 용해시켜 미생물에 직접 분무하는 분무법, 미생물과 직접 혼합하는 한천중층법은 미생물 생장에 영향을 줄 뿐만 아니라, 특히 많이 쓰이는 분무법의 경우 분무되는 PAH의 양을 조절하기가 어렵고 멸균상태를 유지하기가 힘들다는 단점이 있다. 그래서 본 논문에서는 이와 같은 단점을 보완한 방법으로 승화법(Alley, Jeremy F. and Lewis R. Brown. 2000. Use of sublimation to prepare solid microbial media with water-insoluble substrates. Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 66, 439-442)을 도입하여 적용하였다. 그 결과 상용휘발유 및 태안유류유출지 시료로부터 분리한 350분리균주 중에서 7균주가 단일 PAH 또는 복수의 PAH 분해에 관여했다. 특히 Corynebacterium sp. SK20, Rhodococcus sp. TA24, Streptomyces sp. TA27은 시험한 pyene, phenanthrene, naphthalene에, Gordonia sp. H37는 pyrene, naphthalene에, Arthrobacter sp. S49는, naphthalene, phenanthrene에 활성이 있었다.

Terminal-restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP) analysis was used to monitor inoculated oil-degrading microorganisms during bioremedial treatability tests. A pair of universal primers, fluorescently labeled 521F and 1392R, was employed to amplify small subunit rDNA in order to simultaneously detect two bacterial strains, Corynebacterium sp. IC10 and Sphingomonas sp. KH3-2, and a yeast strain, Yarrowia lipolytica 180. Digestion of the 5'-end fluorescence/labeled PCR products with HhaI produced specific terminal-restriction fragments (T-RFs) of 185 and 442 bases, corresponding to Corynebacterium sp. IC10 and Y. lipolytica 180, respectively. The enzyme NruI produced a specific T-RF of 338 bases for Sphingomonas sp. KH3-2. The detection limit for oildegrading microorganisms that were inoculated into natural environments was determined to be $0.01\%$ of the total microbial count, regardless of the background environment. When three oil-degrading microorganisms were released into oil-contaminated sand microenvironments, strains IC10 and 180 survived for 35 days after inoculation, whereas strain KH3-2 was detected at 8 days, but not at 35 days. This result implies that T-RFLP could be a useful tool for monitoring the survival and relative abundance of specific microbial strains inoculated into contaminated environments.

Current fuel ethanol research and development deals with process engineering trends for improving biotechnological production of ethanol. Recently, a large amount of studies regarding the utilization of lignocellulosic biomass as a good feedstock for producing fuel ethanol is being carried out worldwide. The plant biomass is mainly composed of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin. The main challenge in the conversion of biomass into ethanol is the complex, rigid and harsh structures which require efficient process and cost effective to break down. The isolation of microorganisms is one of the means for obtaining enzymes with properties suitable for industrial applications. For these reasons, crude cultures containing cellulosic biomass degrading microorganisms were isolated from rice field soil, cow farm soil and rotten rice straw from cow farm. Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), xylan and Avicel (microcrystalline cellulose) degradation zone of clearance on agar platefrom rice field soil resulted approximately at 25 mm, 24 mm and 22 mm respectively. As for cow farm soil, CMC, xylan and Avicel degradation clearancezone on agar plate resulted around at 24mm, 23mm and 21 mm respectively. Rotten rice straw from cow farm also resulted for CMC, xylan and Avicel degradation zone almost at 24 mm, 23 mm and 22 mm respectively. The objective of this study is to isolatebiomass degrading microbial strains having good efficiency in cellulose hydrolysis and observed the effects of different substrates (CMC, xylan and Avicel) on the production of cellulase enzymes (endo-glucanase, exo-glucanase, cellobiase, xylanase and avicelase) for producing low cost biofuel from cellulosic materials.

To treat chromaticity contained in effluents of dyeing wastewater efficiently, potent dye-degrading microorganisms were isolated from influent water, aeration- tank sludge, recycle water and settling-tank sludge located in leather and dyeing treatment plant. Six potent strains were finally isolated and identified as Comamonas testosteroni, Methylobacteriaceae bacterium, Stenotrophomonas sp., Kluyveromyces fragilis, Ascomycetes sp. and Basidiomycetes sp. When Basidiomycetes sp. was inoculated into ME medium containing basal mixed-dyes, 93% of color was removed after 8 days incubation. In the same experiment, the 1:1 mixed culture of Basidiomycetes sp. and photosynthetic bacterium exhibited 88% of color removal; however, it showed better color removal for single-color dyes. The aeration-tank and settling-tank samples revealed higher color removal (95-96%) for black dyes. The settling-tank sample also revealed higher color removal on basal mixed-dyes, which resulted in 90% color removal after 6-h incubation. From the above results, it is expected to achieve a higher color removal using the mixed microorganisms that were isolated from aeration-tank and settling-tank samples.

Three biphenyl-degrading microorganisms were isolated from polluted soil samples in Sasang-gu, Busan. Among them, isolate DS-94 showing the strong degrading activity was selected. The morphological, physiological, and biochemical characteristics of DS-94 were investigated by API 20NE and other tests. This bacterium was identified as the genus Pseudomonas by 16S rDNA sequencing and designated as Pseudomonas sp. DS-94. The optimum temperature and pH for the growth of Pseudomonas sp. DS-94 were $25^{\circ}C$ and pH 7.0, respectively. This isolate could utilize biphenyl as sole source of carbon and energy. Biphenyl-degrading efficiency of this isolate was measured by HPLC analysis. As a result of biological biphenyl-degradation at high biphenyl concentration (500 mg/L), biphenyl-removal efficiency by this isolate was 73.5% for 7 days.

A treatability study was conducted using a hydrocarbon-contaminated soil for the oPtimization of bioremediation strategy best fit to a given set of contamination. The applicability of nutrients, biosurfactant, and oil-degrading microorganisms were examined by monitoring $CO_2$ evolution and oil degradation The addition of inorganic nutrients in the form of slow released fertilizer accelerated the initial rate of $CO_2$ evolution by a factor of 3. The application of oil-degrading microorganisms did not significantly increased $CO_2$ evolution or biodegradation efficiency. Application of a commercial biosurfactant was most effect in terms of the total $CO_2$ evolution and the oil degradation rate. The results indicate that $CO_2$ evolution measurement was found to be a simple and reliable countermeasure of crude oil hydrocarbon mineralization for the rapid determination of the best-fit bioremediation strategy.
