High-solid anaerobic digestion of sewage sludge achieves highly efficient volatile solid reduction, and production of volatile fatty acid (VFA) and methane compared with conventional low-solid anaerobic digestion. In this study, the potential mechanisms of the better performance in high-solid anaerobic digestion of sewage sludge were investigated by using 454 high-throughput pyrosequencing and real-time PCR to analyze the microbial characteristics in sewage sludge fermentation reactors. The results obtained by 454 highthroughput pyrosequencing revealed that the phyla Chloroflexi, Bacteroidetes, and Firmicutes were the dominant functional microorganisms in high-solid and low-solid anaerobic systems. Meanwhile, the real-time PCR assays showed that high-solid anaerobic digestion significantly increased the number of total bacteria, which enhanced the hydrolysis and acidification of sewage sludge. Further study indicated that the number of total archaea (dominated by Methanosarcina) in a high-solid anaerobic fermentation reactor was also higher than that in a low-solid reactor, resulting in higher VFA consumption and methane production. Hence, the increased key bacteria and methanogenic archaea involved in sewage sludge hydrolysis, acidification, and methanogenesis resulted in the better performance of high-solid anaerobic sewage sludge fermentation.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to verify the difference in diet, digestion, sweat, feces and urination characteristics according to body shape characteristic. Methods : 1,302 participants were divided into 4 body types and were assessed through the questionnaire about Sasang constitution's ordinary symptoms such as diet, digestion, sweat, feces and urination characteristics. Results : Hyeong-keum type had active characteristics in the size of their meal and speed of taking meal. Hyeong-keum type got the most in the amount of sweating. And Yo-wi type reported the greatest urinary frequency. Conclusions : The difference of body type influences Sasang constitution's ordinary symptoms such as diet, sweat and urination. In digestion and feces, there was no statistical significance in the difference.

Organic waste used as a feedstock in the anaerobic digestion (AD), it includes carbon and nitrogen. Carbon and nitrogen have an effect on the various digestive characteristics during AD, however, the study is rare about those of the interaction. This study investigates the influence of carbon type and carbon to nitrogens (C/N ratios) on the AD characteristics of organic waste. Experimental treatments involved a combination of three carbon types with three C/N ratios. The AD tests were carried out using a 125-mL serum bottle at a constant temperature of 37℃ and moisture 95% for 18 days. Degradation pattern shows the difference among three-carbon treatments, the starch group was faster than other groups. Maximum methane production date was similar between starch (9.96 ± 0.05 day) and xylan group (10.0 ± 0.52 day), those of the cellulose group (14.6 ± 1.80 day) was slower than other groups (p < 0.05). The lag phase was only affected by the carbon type (p < 0.05). Ammonia nitrogen was mainly affected by nitrogen concentration regardless of carbon type (p < 0.05). This study showed that xylan is useful as feedstock in order to decrease the lag phase, and it showed that ammonia was independently affected by the nitrogen concentration.

축산농가에서 발생되는 돈분 슬러리의 처리 능력을 평가하기 위하여 Full-scale의 단상 혐기성 소화조에서 중온소화와 고형물 체류시간을 20일로 하여 연속식으로 운전하면서 성능평가 및 특성연구를 실시하였다. 운전기간 중 알칼리도는 약 4,000 mg/L(3,500~9,000 mg/L as $CaCO_3$)이였고, 소화조내의 pH는 7.5~8.0 범위로 약간 높은 경향이었으나 pH는 안정적이었다. 바이오가스의 발생량은 OLR 1.2 $g{\cdot}COD/L{\cdot}day$에서 0.69 L/L/day의 바이오가스를 생산하였고, 제거된 COD를 바탕으로 계산된 메탄가스 발생량은 63% 수준이였다. 생산된 바이오가스 중 메탄가스 함량은 65~70%이었고, CO2는 약 30% 전후였으며, 열병합 발전을 실시하였을 때 총전력요구량의 50~75% 수준을 공급하였다. 또한 발전기 부하가 5~9 kW시 평균 1 kWh의 전력을 생산하기 위한 바이오가스 소모량은 약 1.8 $m^3$이였다. 따라서 실제 규모의 plant에서 약 500일간 운전한 결과 유입되는 돈분 슬러리의 TS 농도에 상관없이 소화조 내에 일정 농도의 유기물을 확보할 수 있었고, 바이오가스의 발생량은 일반적인 축산분뇨 가스 발생량 보다 높게 나타나 단상 혐기성 소화공정으로 고효율 처리가 가능한 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구에서는 음식물 쓰레기의 주입형태에 따른 혐기성 소화조의 메탄가스 발생특성에 대해 알아보고자 하였다. 하수슬러지와 음식물 쓰레기를 각각 1:0, 1:0.1, 1:0.3, 1:0.5, 1:1, 1:2의 비율로 혼합소화시킨 반응조에서의 주입 g VS당 메탄가스 발생량은 40mL, 85mL, 62mL, 67mL, 72mL 및 73mL $CH_4/g$ $VS_{added}$였다. 음식물 쓰레기의 입경을 raw food, 2~4mm 그리고 2mm이하로 주입하여 혼합소화시킨 반응조에서의 메탄함량이 각각 51.1%, 53.1% 및 50.6%로 나타나 별차이를 보이지는 않았으나, 입경이 작을수록 높은 메탄발생량을 나타내는 것으로 조사되었다. 주입 음식물 쓰레기의 세척여부와 회수에 따른 탄발생량은 음식물 쓰레기를 7~8회 세척한 경우가 세척하지 않은 경우보다 약 11mL $CH_4/g$ $VS_{added}$ 많이 발생하였다.

Bacillus sp. KYJ 963, which was isolated from Korean salt-fermented anchovy (anchovy-jeot), produces an extracellular ${\beta}$-amylase. The analysis of the digestion products of substrates by thin layer chromatography from the purified protein revealed that the enzyme could not hydrolyze maltose or ${\alpha}$-cyclodextrin. In the amino acid composition analysis, the major characteristic of the ${\beta}$-amylase was the high proportion of amino acids that possess short side chain such as glycine and alanine.

Lower termites need symbiotic microbes for cellulose digestion. Elizabethkingia miricola strain BM10 has been proposed as a symbiotic microbe that assists in low-temperature digestion and metabolism of Reticulitermes speratus KMT1, a termite on Bukhan Mountain, Seoul, Korea. In E. miricola strain BM10, β-glucosidase genes expressed at 10℃ were identified, and the psychrophilic enzymatic characteristic was confirmed by heterogeneously expressed proteins. Crude β-glucosidase in the culture broth of E. miricola strain BM10 showed specific enzymatic properties, and its substrate affinity was 4.69 times higher than that of Cellic CTec2. Among the genes proposed as β-glucosidase, two genes, bglB_1 and bglA_2, whose gene expression was more than doubled at 10℃ than at 30℃, were identified. They were heterogeneously expressed in Escherichia coli and identified as psychrophilic enzymes with an optimal reaction temperature of about 20℃-25℃. In this study, E. miricola strain BM10, a symbiotic bacterium of lower termites, produced psychrophilic β-glucosidases that contribute to the spread of the low-temperature habitat of a lower termite, R. speratus KMT1.

1) The characteristic of the recipe for GAL-SOO is to make odorous, pharmaceutical cereal into plaster by honey-mixed boiling so as to be drunken whenever it needed. But the cereal which included sugar was boiled without adding sugar. 2) The part of cereal which was used mostly in making GAL-SOO was seeds of cereals. 3) The history of GAL-SOO was derived from GU GA PIL YONG, a document of WON dynasty of GHINA, but it was developped according to our taste in this county. 4) The pharmaceutical action of GAL-SOO was mainly to strengthen stomach, digestion and appeasing thirst. 5) GAL-SOO tastes so sour and sweet that it was splendid to drink especially in summer as a beverage. 6) The Value of developping GAL-SOO as a beverage is highly approved because of its expediency of recipe and tough endurance storing under ordinary temperature.

This experiment was undertaken in order to investigate whether chicken can serve as a carrier for swine lungworm, Metastrongylus apri. The results abtained are summerized as follows: All chickens which were fed the infective larvae of M. apri, in the form of infected earthworm (Eisenia foctida) excreted appreximately 4.4 to 5.4 percent of the infective larvae in their feces between 2 to 10 hours after dosing. The larval excretion was marked especially during the first 2 hours. A few (0.10~0.12%) larvae were detected from the intestinal wall of chickens by pepsin-digestion method on a day after dosing, but no further migration or development of the larvae was observed. The larvae which had passed through the digestive tract of chickens retained their viability and produced characteristic lungworm disease when inoculated to guineapigs. From these results, it may he concluded that the chicken can serve as a carrier for the infective larvae of M. apri.
