This study was performed to assess the possibility of application of sewage sludge which is the side-product from domestic sewage treatment plant to the materials for biodiesels by investigating the yields and composition of the lipids and fatty acid methyl esters(FAMEs) from soxhlet extraction and in-situ transesterification. As the results, yields of in-situ transesterification were higher than soxhlet extraction. In comparison by sewage sludge type, yields of sewage sludge mixed nightsoil or livestock were higher than a single sewage sludge. And maximum yield showed up to 14 wt%. Fatty acid composition of extracted lipids and synthesized FAMEs consists of palmitic acid(C16:0), palmitoleic acid(C16:1), stearic acid(C18:0), oleic acid(C18:1), and linoleic acid(C18:2).

Arctic microalgae thrive and support primary production in extremely cold environment. Three Arctic green microalgal strains collected from freshwater near Dasan Station in Ny-Alesund, Svalbard, Arctic, were analyzed to evaluate the optimal growth conditions and contents of fatty acids. The optimal growth temperature for KNF0022, KNF0024, and KNF0032 was between 4 and 8℃. Among the three microalgal strains, KNF0032 showed the maximal cell number of 1.6 × 107 cells mL^-1 at 4℃. The contents of fatty acids in microalgae biomass of KNF0022, KNF0024, and KNF0032 cultured for 75 days were 37.34, 73.25, and 144.35 mg g^-1 dry cell weight, respectively. The common fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) analyzed from Arctic green microalgae consisted of palmitic acid methyl ester (C16:0), 5,8,11-heptadecatrienoic acid methyl ester (C17:3), oleic acid methyl ester (C18:1), linoleic acid methyl ester (C18:2), and α-linolenic acid methyl ester (C18:3). KNF0022 had high levels of heptadecanoic acid methyl ester (26.58%) and heptadecatrienoic acid methyl ester (22.17% of the total FAMEs). In KNF0024 and KNF0032, more than 72.09% of the total FAMEs consisted of mono- and polyunsaturated fatty acids. Oleic acid methyl ester from KNF0032 was detected at a high level of 20.13% of the FAMEs. Arctic freshwater microalgae are able to increase the levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids under a wide range of growth temperatures and can also be used to produce valuable industrial materials.

This study evaluated the microbial conversion of coconut oil waste, a major agro-residue in tropical countries, into single cell oil (SCO) feedstock for biodiesel production. Copra cake was used as a low-cost renewable substrate without any prior chemical or enzymatic pretreatment for submerged growth of an oleaginous tropical mangrove fungus, Aspergillus terreus IBB M1. The SCO extracted from fermented biomass was converted into fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) by transesterification and evaluated on the basis of fatty acid profiles and key fuel properties for biodiesel. The fungus produced a biomass (8.2 g/l) yielding 257 mg/g copra cake SCO with ~98% FAMEs. The FAMEs were mainly composed of saturated methyl esters (61.2%) of medium-chain fatty acids (C12-C18) with methyl oleate (C18:1; 16.57%) and methyl linoleate (C18:2; 19.97%) making up the unsaturated content. A higher content of both saturated FAMEs and methyl oleate along with the absence of polyunsaturated FAMEs with ≥4 double bonds is expected to impart good fuel quality. This was evident from the predicted and experimentally determined key fuel properties of FAMEs (density, kinematic viscosity, iodine value, acid number, cetane number), which were in accordance with the international (ASTM D6751, EN 14214) and national (IS 15607) biodiesel standards, suggesting their suitability as a biodiesel fuel. The low cost, renewable nature, and easy availability of copra cake, its conversion into SCO without any thermochemical pretreatment, and pelleted fungal growth facilitating easier downstream processing by simple filtration make this process cost effective and environmentally favorable.

The cellular fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) analysis data obtained for clusters defined at a Euclidian distance of 17.5, in the classification of lactic acid bacteria isolated from kimchi, described by Lee et al. (4), was used for the identification of 79 Leuconostoc isolates. The test strains were isolated using a selective isolation medium specific for the genus Leuconostoc. These strains were then characterized according to their fatty acid profiles. The results show that all seventy nine test strains were identified to the known Leuconostoc clusters B, C, and D. Cluster B had the highest relative amount of the saturated fatty acid 16 : 0. The saturated fatty acid 16 : 0 and summed feature 9 were found as a major components in cluster C, which had a higher level of summed feature 9 than cluster B. Cluster D is characterized by the highest relative amount of the unsaturated fatty acid 18 : 1 w9c. It is suggested that FAMEs analysis can be successfully applied in the identification of lactic acid bacteria isolated from kimchi.

Bacillus anthracis, the etiological agent of anthrax has been classified into the Bacillus subgroup I with B. cereus, B. mycoides and B. thuringiensis based on morphological and DNA similarity. DNA studies have further indicated that these species have very AT-rich genomes and high homology, indeed it has been proposed that these four sub-species be recognized as members of the one species. Several methods have been developed to obtain good differentiation between these species. However, none of these methods provides the means for an absolutely correct differntiation. The analysis of fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) was employed as a quick, simple and reliable method for the identification of 21 B. anthracis strains and closley related strains. The most significant differences were found between B. anthracis and B. anthracis closely related strains in FAMEs profiles. All tested strains of B. anthracis had a branched fatty acid C17:1 Anteiso A, whereas the fraction of unsaturated fatty acid Iso C17:1 w10c was found in B. anthracis closely related strains. By UPGMA clustering analysis of FAMEs profiles, all of the tested strains were classified into two clusters defined at Euclidian distance value of 24.5. The tested strains of B. anthracis were clustered together including Bacillus sp. Kyungjoo 3. However, the isolates of B. anthracis closely related spp. Rho, S10A, 11R1, CAU9910, CAU9911, CAU9912 and CAU9913 were clustered with the other group. On the basis of these results, isolates of B. anthracis Bongchon, Kyungjoo 1, 2 and Bacillus sp. Kyungjoo 3 were reclassified as a B. anthracis. It is concluded that FAMEs analysis provides a sensitive and reliable method for the identification of B. anthracis from closely related taxa.

경지이용이 토양 화학성과 미생물 군집상에 어떠한 영향이 있는지 경지 및 미경지 토양을 채취하여 토양지방산, 미생물밀도 및 미생물체량간(biomass C)의 관계를 조사하였다. 경지와 미경지 토양의 pH는 큰 차이가 없었지만, 전기전도도 (EC), 유기물, 유효인산 및 치환성 양이온 함량은 미경지 토양에 비해 경지토양에서 높았다. 훈증추출법에 의해 측정된 미생물체량과 지방산 총 함량간에는 유의한 정의 상관관계가 있었다 ($r^2=0.557$, n=18, p<0.01). 세균, 방선균, 사상균, 원생동물을 나타내는 지표성 지방산 함량은 경지토양에서 높은 경향을 보였다.

모유의 지질대사체에 대한 연구는 축산유래 유제품의 경우와 비교하여 매우 제한적으로 이루어져 있다. 본 연구는 지용성 대사체 연구의 선행연구로서, 모유중 극성 및 비극성 지질 중의 주요 지방산 조성에 대한 세부적 정량법 및 구조동정을 목적으로 수행되었다. 인지질을 포함한 극성 지질과 비극성 지질의 분리를 위하여 silica gel을 활용한 정제법을 개발하였으며, 효과적인 methyl ester 및 pyridylcarbinol ester 유도체화 방법을 적용하여 개별 분획의 세부적 지방산조성을 분석한 결과, 16 종의 필수지방산을 확인하였으며, 이와 함께 29 종의 미량 지방산이 확인되어, 구조 분석을 실시하였다. 측쇄 지방산의 경우, 15-18 개의 탄소를 보유한 iso 및 anteiso 지방산이 주요한 것으로 확인되었다.

Two hundreds and thirty lactic acid bacteria, mostly isolated from Kimchi, including type strains were used for analysis of cellular fatty acids. The 230 test strains were recoverd in 7 major and 1 single clusters defined at Euclidian distance of 17.5. These aggregate taxa were equivalent to the genus Leuconostoc (aggregate group A, B, C and D), the genus Lactobacillus (aggregate group F), the genera Lactobacillus and Pediococcus (aggregate group E) and the genera Leuconostoc and Lactobacillus (aggregate group G). It is concluded as evident that FAMEs (Fatty Acid Methyl Esters) profile of cell can be used as a criterion in classification of lactic acid bacteria from kimchi. Additional comparative taxonomic studies need to be carried out on well chosen representative strains to determine the most appropriate methods of value.

본 연구에서는 유채유로부터 초임계 메탄올을 이용한 무촉매 전이에스터화 반응에 관한 다양한 반응인자들의 영향을 연구하였다. 온도($320{\sim}365{^{\circ}C}$), 시간(0~20 min), 압력(10~35 MPa), 오일에 대한 메탄올의 몰 비(1 : 15~60), 교반속도(0~500 rpm)들이 지방산메틸에스터 함량에 어떤 영향을 미치는지에 대해 회분식 반응기를 이용하여 실험하였다. 반응온도가 증가함에 따라 지방산메틸에스터의 함량이 증가하였으나 $350^{\circ}C$, 반응시간 5 min 이후부터는 감소하였다. 유채유에 대한 메탄올 몰 비가 높아질수록 지방산메틸에스터 함량이 높아졌으며, 몰 비(1 : 45)에서 20 MPa 이상의 압력에서는 함량의 변화가 거의 없었다. 100 rpm 이상의 교반속도에서는 교반의 효과가 적음을 확인할 수 있었다. 온도 $335^{\circ}C$, 반응시간 10 min, 몰 비 1 : 45, 압력 20 MPa, 교반속도 250 rpm인 반응조건에서 최대 지방산메틸에스터 함량인 95%를 얻을 수 있었다.
