The current study proposes a simple monodimensional model to estimate the linear growth rate of photosynthetic microorganisms in flat-plate photobioreactors (FPPBRs) during batch cultivation. As a model microorganism, Chlorella kessleri was cultivated photoautotrophically in FPPBRs using light-emitting diodes (LEDs) as the light sources to provide unidirectional irradiation in the photobioreactors. Various conditions were simulated by adjusting both the intensity of the light and the height of the culture. The validity of the proposed model was examined by comparing the linear growth rates measured with the predicted ones obtained from the proposed model. Accordingly, the value of $\frac{K\cdot\mu m}{\alpha\cdot L}log(I_0\cdot{I_s}^{\varepsilon 1)\cdot {I_c}^{-\varepsilon})$ was proposed as an approximate index for strategies to obtain the maximal lightn yield under light-limiting conditions for high-density algal cultures and as a control parameter to improve the photosynthetic productivity and efficiency.

본 시험은 재배과정 중 배지에서 분리한 미생물의 특성을 조사하여 이들 미생물과 버섯균의 생육과 연관관계를 밝히고자 하였다. 짚, 계분 등 배지 재료에서 분리한 미생물의 양송이 균주에 대한 억제 정도는 국내 육성 양송이 균주가 외국에서 수입한 양송이 균주 보다 생육 억제 정도가 낮은 경향을 보였다. 양송이 배지 발효 단계별 분리 미생물의 양송이 품종간 균사 생육 억제 정도는 국내 육성 품종인 새도가 다른 품종보다는 생육이 좋았다. 그리고 발효과정이 진행됨에 따라 버섯균에 대한 억제 정도는 약해지는 경향을 보였다. 양송이 배지에서 분리한 미생물을 합성배지(CDA)에 도말한 뒤 버섯균사를 접종하여 균사의 생육을 조사한 결과와 분리균을 도말하고 항온기에서 2일간 배양한 후 배지를 완전히 뒤집어 배지의 뒷면 중앙에 버섯 균사를 접종하여 균사 생육을 조사한 결과를 비교 분석한 결과 양송이균의 생육 정도가 비슷한 경향을 보이는 것으로 보아 양송이 배지에서 분리한 미생물은 분비성 물질을 통해서 버섯균의 생육과 증식에 영향을 미친다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 양송이 균의 생육을 촉진하는 미생물을 분리한 결과 21균주가 선발되었고 대부분 4차 뒤집기 이후에서 많이 선발되었다. 대표적인 균주로는 Alcaligenes faecalis B-4-28, Comamonas testosteroni B-4-31, Acinetobacter soli B-4-40 등이 있다.

Macroalgae has been strongly touted as an alternative biomass for biofuel production due to its higher photosynthetic efficiency, carbon fixation rate, and growth rate compared to conventional cellulosic plants. However, its unique carbohydrate composition and structure limits the utilization efficiency by conventional microorganisms, resulting in reduced growth rates and lower productivity. Nevertheless, recent studies have shown that it is possible to enable microorganisms to utilize various sugars from seaweeds and to produce some energy chemicals such as methane, ethanol, etc. This paper introduces the basic information on macroalgae and the overall conversion process from harvest to production of biofuels. Especially, we will review the successful efforts on microbial engineering through metabolic engineering and synthetic biology to utilize carbon sources from red and brown seaweed.

For the biosurfactant production process at first Candida bombicola, Sphingomonas yanoikuyae, Sphingomonas chungbukensis and Myxococcus flavescens were studied. As the most productive microorganisms C. bombicola, S. yanoikuyae and S. chungbukensis were selected. During many petrochemical industrial processes variable volatile organic componds are produced and they can cause an unpleasent and unhealthy atmosphere. Usually the volatile organic compounds are treated with chemical detergents. The chemical detergents cannot be easily degradable and can be accumulated in the nature. In this study we tried to develop a production process for the biosurfactants, which can substitute some chemical detergents in some chemical processes, with microorganisms. At second the treatment of the volatile organic compounds with the biosurfactants were tested and compared with the treatment with chemical detergent. The production productivities of the biosurfactant with microorganisms were compared. The growth patterns and kinetics of the microbial cells and the surface tension values of the biosurfactants were studied. The changes of the surface tension in variable pH conditions and sodium chloride concentrations were also studied. The volatile organic carbons were treated in a small plant scale. As the result of this study, it indicated that the specific growth rate of S. chungbukensis was the fastest by 0.144 ($hr^{-1}$). For surface tension, C. bombicola (38.1 dyne/cm) had the lowest value, and solubility of the volatile organic carbon was similar in C. bombicola and S. chungbukensis. (Toluene: about 0.1 Unit, Chloroform: about 0.6${\sim}$0.7 Unit, Benzene: about 0.5${\sim}$0.8 Unit). The biosurfactant, which were produced by C. bombicola, was selected for the further study for the volatile organic carbon treatment. With the biosurfactans from C. bombicola could remove the volatile organic carbon about 80% and this removal rate can be comparable with chemical detergent.

The simultaneous biodegradation between MTBE (Gasoline additives) and BTEX (Benzene, Toluene, Ethyl-benzene, o-Xylene, m-Xylene, p-Xylene) was achieved within a competitive inter-relationship, with not only electron accepters such as nitrate, sulfate, and iron(III) without oxygen, but also with electron donors such as MTBE and BTEX. Preexisting indigenous microorganisms from a domestic sample of gasoline contaminated soil was used for a lab-scale batch test. The result of the test showed that the biodegradation rate of MTBE decreased when there was co-existing MTBE and BTEX, compared to having just MTBE present. The growth of indigenous microorganisms was not affected in the case of the MTBE treatment, whereas the growth of the microorganisms was decreased in combined MTBE and BTEX sample. This may indicate that an inhibitor related to biodegradation when BTEX and MTBE are mixed will be found. This inhibitor may be found to retard the anaerobic conditions needed for efficient breakdown of these complex carbon chain molecules in-situ. Moreover, it is also possible that an unknown competitive reaction is being imposed on the interactions between MTBE and BTEX dependent on conditions, ratios of mixture, etc.

Biotechnology will play critical role in improving animal productivity. Animal growth rate and muscle deposition potential can be greatly improved by the application of biotechnology and biotechnological products. Administration of recombinant somatotropin (ST) or other compounds such as IGF-1 and growth hormone-releasing peptides (GHRPs) can enhance growth rate and carcass lean percentage. Gene transfer offers a powerful approach to manipulate endocrine system and metabolic pathways toward faster growth and better feed efficiency. Biotechnology is also extensively used for improving metabolism and activity of gut microorganisms for better nutrient digestibility. Knockout of growth-inhibiting genes such as myostatin results in considerable acceleration of body weight and muscle growth. Animal growth can also be improved by the use of gene therapy. Immunomodulation is another approach for efficient growth through controlling the activity of endogenous anabolic hormones. All the above aspects will be discussed in this review.

Attempts were made to investigate the antagonistic activity of soil borne microorganisms Pseudomonas spp. and Trichoderma spp. against to the pathogens of turf diseases Rhizoctionia solani spp. and Pythiom spp. in vitro by a dual culture bioassay. Inhibition zone between the edge of the my-celium and the margin of each antagonistic bacteria, Pocudontonas, on potato dextrose agar was measured 3 days after incubation at 28˚C. Psudomonas spp. showed relatively high inhibition of mycelium growth of R. solani AG-i and Pythium spp. which cause brown patch and pythium blight, respectively. Antagonistic fungi Trichodenma spp. also showed effective inhibition against mycelium growth of both pathogens, more proper methods of measuring the inhibition effects were required because of fast growth of Trichodenna hypae. Brown patch and pythium blight both, re-quire most higher rate of fungicide use to control in golf curses in Korea. Application of antagon-istic microorganisms are useful as biological resources an approach to sole environmental contamination.

미생물을 이용한 하수처리의 경우 여러 요인(미생물 특성, 원수의 성상, 운전조건)의 영향을 받으며 복잡한 관계를 갖고 운영하게 되는데 이런 공정에 나노입자의 유입은 분명 공정의 안정성 및 효율성에 영향을 줄 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구에서는 교내 하수 플랜트에서 활성슬러지를 채취하여 각각의 균주에 최적화된 배지에 배양시킨 뒤, 배양된 미생물이 각각 나노물질과 나노이온 상태일 때 성장에 미치는 영향을 알아보았다. 활성슬러지에 존재하는 대표 미생물 중에 그람양성균인 Bacillus와 그람음성균인 Pseudomonas, E.coli를 대상 균주로 선택하여 ZnO, $TiO_2$ 두 가지 나노물질에 의한 독성 영향을 비교하였다. 동일한 농도의 나노물질에서 그람양성균인 Bacillus균의 평균 성장 저해율은 60% 이상이고, 그람음성균인 Pseudomonas의 경우는 평균 성장 저해율이 10% 미만으로 나타났다. 따라서 나노물질에 대한 독성은 그람양성균이 그람음성균보다 높은 것으로 보여지는데 그 이유는, 세포벽 구조, 세포벽 단백질 구성성분, 세포의 생리기능, 물질대사 등의 차이로 그람양성균이 나노물질에 훨씬 민감한 경향을 나타내기 때문인 것으로 보여진다. 그리고 ZnO와 $TiO_2$ 나노물질의 농도가 같을 때 미생물 성장에 미치는 영향은 ZnO가 평균적으로 3배 정도 높았는데 이것은 ZnO 나노물질의 독성이 $TiO_2$ 보다 크다고 볼 수 있다.

Batch test methods have developed for a long time to measure kinetic and stoichiometric parameters which are required to perform steady state design and mathematical modelling of activated sludge processes. However, at various So/Xo ratios, abnormal behaviors of ordinary heterotrophic organism in batch tests have been reported in many researches. Thus, in this research, abnormal behaviors of heterotrophs in batch tests were investigated at various So/Xo conditions by measuring and interpreting oxygen utilization rate. As So/Xo ratio increased, the calculated values of maximum specific growth rates, ${\mu}_{H,max}$ and $K_{MP,max}$, increased. However, at a certain point of So/Xo (around 10mgCOD/mgMLAVSS), ${\mu}_{H,max}$ and $K_{MP,max}$ values started to decrease. According to this observation, three prominent behaviours of heterotrophs were identified at various So/Xo conditions. (1) At low So/Xo region (below 5 mgCOD/mgMLAVSS), the oxygen utilization rate of heterotrophs in batch tests were almost stable and consequently yielded lower maximum specific growth rate. (2) At high So/Xo region (up to 5~10 mgCOD/mgMLAVSS), oxygen utilization rate incresed sharply with time and indicated more upward curvature than the predicted OUR with conventional activated sludge model, which consists of single hetetrotrophs group. Thus, in this region, competition model of two organisms, fast-grower and slow-grower, seemed to be appropriate. (3) At extremely high So/Xo region (over 10mgCOD/mgMLAVSS), significant oxygen utilization rate was still observed even after depletion of readily biodegradable COD. This might be caused by retarded utilization of intermediates which were generated by self inhibition mechanism in the process of RBCOD uptake.
