To remove nitrogen from wastewater, ammonia nitrogen has to be oxidized to nitrate nitrogen before denitrification reaction which converts nitrate nitrogen to nitrogen gas. In order to understand nitrification, several mathematical models had been proposed and Monod type model has been accepted internationally. Since Monod type model consists of maximum substrate utilization rate, substrate concentration and half-saturation coefficient, these values have to be addressed before using Monod type model. Several experimental procedures to determine half-saturation coefficient have been developed, however, Infinite dilution method was known to be time saving procedure. In this study, the mathematical equations and experimantal procedures for Infinite dilution method are presented and this method is used to determine half-Saturation coefficient for nitrifying bacteria. As results, Infinite dilution method is proved that this coefficient can be determined within 8 hours and the values of half-saturation coefficient has a range of 0.728 and $0.455gNH_4{^+}-N/m^3$ and the average has $0.580gNH_4{^+}-N/m^3$ through 5 sets of experiments.

This study was conducted to assess the growth characteristics of phytoplankton and to understand seasonal dynamics of phytoplankton in response to limiting nutrients in an agricultural reservoir from November 2002 to December 2003. Marked increase of chl.a concentration observed in July ($99.0{\mu}g/L$) and November ($109.7{\mu}g/L$) after heavy rainfall. TP concentration ranged $48.0{\sim}126.6{\mu}g/L$, and its the temporal variation was similar to that of chl.a concentration. Microcystis spp., dominant phytoplankton species were used for the growth kinetics experiment, except for the season when Aulacoseira spp. (March, April) and Aphanocapsa sp. (May) dominated. In the temperature range between $10{\sim}25^{\circ}C$, the rate of growth increase per $10^{\circ}C$ was almost two folds. The highest maximum growth rate (${\mu}_{max}=1.09day^{-1}$) of phytoplankton observed September, and ${\mu}_{max}$ was lowest ($0.34day^{-1}$) in March when Aulacoseira spp. dominated. The ${\mu}_{max}$ ($0.78{\pm}0.20day^{-1}$) was relatively high in the summer season when water temperature is above $20^{\circ}C$ and cyanobacteria dominated compared to the spring when diatoms dominated ($0.43{\pm}0.08day^{-1}$). The maximum growth rate ($0.55{\pm}0.12day^{-1}$) and the half saturation concentration ($K_s=0.73{\pm}0.15{\mu}M$) of cyanobacteria during winter season (November, December) was higher than those of diatoms. However, the ${\mu}_{max}$ and $K_s$ of cyanobacteria in December was similar to those of diatom, reflecting that diatom cell quota (Mean 48.4 pgP/cell) was greater than cyanobacteria (34.0 pgP/cell) during this time.

The steroid 9${alpha}$-hydroxylase activity has been detected in cytosol fraction, $100,00{\times}g$ supernatant of cell free extract of Mycobacterium fortuitum. The activity was not linear with protein concentration in the assay suggesting 9${alpha}$-hydroxylase is a multicomponent enzyme. The 9${alpha}$-hydroxylase system was partially purified through fractional saturation of ammonium sulfate, strong anion exchange (Mono Q) column chromatography, gel filtration (Superose 12) column chromatography, and testosterone affinity gel chromatography. Ammonium sulfate 50~60% saturated fraction of the cytosol gave 9${alpha}$-hydroxylase activity. For further purification, the half-saturated ammonium sulfate fraction was applied to Mono Q, Superose 12, or affinity gel column. The purification factors of 9${alpha}$-hydroxylase containing fraction after Mono Q, Superose 12, and affinity gel chromatography was 13, 11, and 17 respectively.

PS 텐던의 경우 높은 인장응력을 받고 있으며, 피복두께가 RC에 비해 상대적으로 작으므로, 부식에 관한 엄격한 기준을 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 7연선 텐던의 소선 위치에 따른 부식거동을 평가하기 위해 3 수준의 염화물 농도(0.0 mol/l, 0.125 mol/l, 0.25 mol/l)를 고려하였다. 촉진부식조건과 부식량 측정을 위해 텐던을 부분 포화상태의 모래에 매립하였으며, 표면으로부터 HCP(Half Cell Potential)를 평가하였다. 28주의 부식모니터링 기간 동안 2주 간격으로 HCP를 측정하고 16주와 28주에 텐던의 부식질량을 측정하였다. 측정결과 소선이 상부에서 하부로 위치할수록 HCP값이 증가하였고, 0.25 mol/l 인 경우 상부에 비하여 하부에서는 HCP이 최대 5.92 %가 증가하였다. 소선의 위치가 낮을수록 포화도가 크므로 부식량이 증가하였으며, HCP도 하부에서 크게 측정되었다. 또한 부식질량률과 염화물 농도와의 관계가 회귀분석을 통하여 정량적으로 도출되었다.

The nature of the active site of Tobacco acetohydroxyacid synthase (AHAS) in the substrate- and cofactorbinding was studied by kinetics and fluorescence spectroscopy. The substrate saturation curve does not follow Michaelis-Menten kinetics at different temperatures (7, 21 and 37 ${^{\circ}C}$), pH (6.5, 7.5 and 8.5) and buffers (Tris-HCl and MOPS). The concentration of one half of the maximum velocity ($S_{0.5}$) decreased in the following order: pyruvate $\gt$ ThDP $\approx$$Mg^{+2}$ $\gt$ FAD. However, the catalytic efficiency (K$_{cat}/S_{0.5}$) inversely decreased in the following order; FAD $\gt$ $Mg^{+2}$ $\approx$ThDP $\gt$ pyruvate, indicating that the cofactors by in decreasing order; FAD, $Mg^{+2}$, ThDP, affect the catalysis of AHAS. The dissociation constant ($K_d$) of the intrinsic tryptophan fluorescence decreased with the same tendency of the concentration of one half of the maximum velocity ($S_{0.5}$) decreasing order. This data provides evidence that the substrate and cofactor binding natures of the active site, as well as its activation characteristics, resemble those of other ThDP-dependent enzymes.

팔당호 식물플랑크톤의 제한영양염과 생리학적 성장 특성을 평가하기 위하여 2002년 3월부터 10일까지 팔당호의 수질환경 조사와 함께 실내 배양실험을 실시하였다. 총인의 농도와 Chl. a의 상관성 분석결과, 팔당호의 호수생산성은 인의 영향을 많이 받으며 TN/TP ratio와 식물플랑크톤의 성장잠재력 실험을 통해서도 제한영양염은 인으로 평가되었다. 특히, 봄철이 다른 계절에 비해 상대적으로 용존무기인이 낮은 농도로 존재하기 때문에 높은 인 제한을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 인의 제한정도는 계절적인 변이를 나타내었으며, 시기에 따라 질소와 규소에 의한 제한가능성도 나타났다. 팔당호 식물플랑크톤 군집의 최대성장률(${\mu}_{max}$)은 0.8${\sim}$l.1$day^1$의 범위로 나타났으며, 반포화농도($K_u$)는 0.1${\sim}$O.8${\mu}M$로 5월에 $0.8{\mu}M$로 가장 높고 9월에 $0.1{\mu}M$로 가장 낮은 것으로 조사되었다. 이는 영양염 흡수에 영향을 미치는 인의 cell quota와 관련이 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 5월에 $0.13{\mu}gP/{\mu}gChl.$ 3로 낮은 값을 나타냈다. 식물플랑크톤의 성장특성 분석을 통해 팔당호에서는 봄에 비해 여름과 가을철에 발생한 식물플랑크톤의 성장이 경쟁적으로 빠르게 발달할 수 있는 잠재성이 있는 것으로 판단된다. 결과적으로, 팔당호 식물플랑크톤 성장은 주로 인에 의하여 제한되며 여름 몬순 이후 수체의 안정기동안 높은 성장을 할 수 있는 생리적 특성을 가지고 있는 것으로 추정된다.

The ability of a red tide species to take up nutrients is a critical factor affecting its red tide dynamics and species competition. Nutrient uptake by red tide species has been conventionally measured by incubating nutrient-depleted cells for a short period at 1 or 2 light intensities. This method may be applicable to certain conditions under which cells remain in oligotrophic water for a long time and high nutrients are suddenly introduced. Thus, a new method should be developed that can be applicable to the conditions under which cells are maintained in eutrophicated waters in healthy conditions and experience light and dark cycles and different light intensities during vertical migration. In this study, a new repletion method reflecting these conditions was developed. The nitrate uptake rates of the red tide dinoflagellate Prorocentrum micans originally maintained in nitrate repletion and depletion conditions as a function of nitrate concentration were measured. With increasing light intensity from 10 to $100{\mu}E\;m^{-2}s^{-1}$, the maximum nitrate uptake rate ($V_{max}$) of P. micans increased from 3.6 to $10.8 pM\;cell^{-1}d^{-1}$ and the half saturation constant ($K_{s-NO3}$) increased from 4.1 to $6.9{\mu}M$. At $20{\mu}E\;m^{-2}s^{-1}$, the $V_{max}$ and $K_{s-NO3}$ of P. micans originally maintained in a nitrate repletion condition were similar to those maintained in a nitrate depletion condition. Thus, differences in cells under nutrient repletion and depletion conditions may not affect $K_{s-NO3}$ and $V_{max}$. Moreover, different light intensities may cause differences in the nitrate uptake of migratory phototrophic dinoflagellates.

Recently, the occurrence of harmful algae blooms from the Chattonella group has been increasing and expanding in the southern and western seas of Korea. We investigated the relationship between growth kinetics and nutrients in the harmful algae Chattonella marina and Chattonella ovata of the South Sea, Korea. As a result; high concentrations of ammonium ($30\;{\mu}M$ and above) was not effective to the growth of C. ovata, while C. marina displayed good growth at concentration of $100\;{\mu}M$. The half-saturation constant ($K_s$) of C. marina for ammonium ($2.51\;{\mu}M$), nitrate ($5.36\;{\mu}M$) and phosphate ($0.75\;{\mu}M$) was higher than C. ovata (1.85, 4.01, and $0.61\;{\mu}M$, respectively). This indicates that C. ovata can achieve higher cell densities than C. marina under lower nutrient conditions. These $K_s$ values were comparatively higher than those of diatoms and other flagellates previously reported. Therefore, our results indicate that the growth of C. marina and C. ovata is less adapted to lower nutrient environments than other competition species, such as Skeletonema costatum and Cochlodinium polykrikoides.

An efficient packed-bed type biofilm reactor charged with immobilized phototrophs was developed to treat organic wastewater at an extremely high volumetric loading rate. The packed bed reactor (PBR) charged with porous ceramic beads was superior to a fluidized-bed reactor suspended with activated carbon powders in terms of many aspects such as BOD removal efficiency, operational stability, and overall economics. For wastewater with BOD concentration as high as 20, 000mg/l, the BOD removal efficiency was maintained above 90% when the hydraulic retention time (HRT) was longer than 1 day. The allowable volumetric BOD loading rate of this reactor (20gBOD/l day) is more than ten-folds higher than that of an ordinary activated sludge method. The behaviour of the reactor was represented well by a Monod type kinetic equation with a maximum specific BOD loading rate(P) of 22.2gBOD/l day and a half saturation constant(K$_{s}$) of 1, 750 mgBOD/l.

This research is to investigate the reaction kinetics by air-lift bioreactor using calcium hydroxide, the neutralization agent and immobilization media, for removing ethylene glycol remained after chemical pretreatment. It was found that the optimum hydraulic retention time was obtained as 24.2hours at the optimum F/M ratio of 1.32kg-$TCOD_{Mn}$/day.kg-MLVSS, and then, infiuent $TCOD_{Mn}$ and MLVSS concentration were 3,290mg/l and 2,472mg/l, respectively. During the steady state, the kinetics constants such as maximum specific substrate removal rate, half saturation velocity coefficient, yield coefficient and endogenous respiration coefficient were estimated in the base of $TCOD_{Mn}$ as substrate concentration. And they were 1.47day$^{-1}$, 3.95mg/l, 0.391 and 0.092day$^{-1}$, respectively. And also, the oxgen use coefficients for cell synthesis, a', and energy of maintenance, b', were obtained as 0.4kg-O$_{2}$/kg-$TCOD_{Mn}$ and 0.056day$^{-1}$, at the steady state by the experimental result of oxygen uptake rate.
