A recycling reactor system operated under sequential anoxic and oxic conditions for the treatment of swine wastewater has been developed, in which piggery slurry is fermentatively and aerobically treated and then part of the effluent is recycled to the pigsty. This system significantly removes offensive smells (at both the pigsty and the treatment plant), BOD and others, and may be cost effective for small-scale farms. The most dominant heterotrophic were, in order, Alcaligenes faecalis, Brevundimonas diminuta and Streptococcus sp., while lactic acid bacteria were dominantly observed in the anoxic tank. We propose a novel monitoring system for a recycling piggery slurry treatment system through the use of neural networks. In this study, we tried to model the treatment process for each tank in the system (influent, fermentation, aeration, first sedimentation and fourth sedimentation tanks) based upon the population densities of the heterotrophic and lactic acid bacteria. Principal component analysis(PCA) was first applied to identify a relationship between input and output. The input would be microbial densities and the treatment parameters, such as population densities of heterotrophic and lactic acid bacteria, suspended solids(SS), COD, NH$_4$(sup)+-N, ortho-phosphorus (o-P), and total-phosphorus (T-P). then multi-layer neural networks were employed to model the treatment process for each tank. PCA filtration of the input data as microbial densities was found to facilitate the modeling procedure for the system monitoring even with a relatively lower number of imput. Neural network independently trained for each treatment tank and their subsequent combined data analysis allowed a successful prediction of the treatment system for at least two days.

After preliminary tests indicated an increased number of heterotrophic bacteria, we investigated possible sources of contamination in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) water distribution system. Scanning electron microscopic examination of flexible metallic hoses associated with the system revealed the presence of a biofilm; partial 16S rDNA sequencing revealed that the biofilm contained Blastomonas natatoria. Purgation of the water system three times a day, reinforced faucet cleaning, decreasing the cold water temperature to $12^{\circ}C$, and six repeated chlorinations at concentrations as high as 2 mg/l were not sufficient to eradicate the bacterial contamination. Replacing all of the rubber-interior flexible metallic hoses with teflon-lined hoses, followed by heating the water to $70^{\circ}C$, successfully controlled the bacteria.

The abundance, biomass, size distribution, and taxonomic composition of bacterial and protistan (heterotrophic and autotrophic nanoflagellates and ciliates) communities were investigated in six lakes of Masurian Lake District (north-eastern Poland) differing in trophic state. Samples were taken from the trophogenic water layer during summer stratification periods. Image analysis techniques with fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) as well as [$^3H$]-methyl-thymidine incorporation methods were applied to analyze differences in the composition and activity of bacterial communities. The greatest differences in trophic parameters were found between the humic lake and remaining non-humic ones. The same bacterial and heterotrophic nanoflagellate (HNF) cell size classes dominated in all the studied lakes. However, distinct increases in the contributions of large bacterial (>$1.0{\mu}m$) and HNF (>$10{\mu}m$) cells were observed in eutrophic lakes. The bacterial community was dominated by the ${\beta}$-Proteohacteria group, which accounted for 27% of total DAPI counts. Ciliate communities were largely composed of Oligotrichida. Positive correlations between bacteria and protists, as well as between nanoflagellates (both heterotrophic and autotrophic) and ciliates, suggest that concentrations of food sources may be important in determining the abundance of protists in the studied lakes.

1987년 9월부터 1988년 8월까지 소양호 4개 정점에서 총 세균수, 종속영양세균수의 분포와 각 종의 alkaline phosphatase의 분비 비율과 활성도를 측정하였다. 총 세균은 $3.2{\times}10^{5}$ - $3.2{\times}10^{6}$ cells/${\mu}\ell$의 범위였으며, 종속 영양세균의 총 세균수는 0.07-2.63%이였다. 종속영양세균의 종 당양성은 여롬과 양어장 인근, Peridinium이 발생하는 곳에서 낮았다. Pseudomonas. Flavobacterium은 모든 정점에서 우점종으로 나타났다. Alkaline phosphatase를 분비하는 비율과 활성도는 Flavobacterium에서 높게 나타나, 유기인산염 분해에 우점세균 중 가장 큰 기여를 하는 것으로 밝혀졌다.

This study was performed to compare finished water quality among three different processes. A detailed assessment of performance was carried out during the five months of operation. Finished water quality was evaluated on the basis of parameters such as Dissolved organic carbon (DOC), $UV_{254}$ absorbance, haloacetic acid formation potential (HAAFP), geosmin, 2-methylisoborneol (2-MIB), heterotrophic bacteria and total coliform bacteria. The treatment processes were Process 1 (coagulation-flocculation-sedimentation-sand filtration-ozone-GAC), Process 2 (coagulation-flocculation-sedimentation -microfiltration-ozone-GAC), and Process 3 (coagulation-flocculation-sedimentation- sand filtration-GAC), compared side by side in the pilot testing. Process 2 was found to have better removal efficiency of DOC, $UV_{254}$ absorbance, HAAFP and heterotrophic bacteria in comparison with process 1 and process 3 under identical conditions. Geosmin, 2-MIB and total coliform bacteria were not detected in finished water from each process.

Endotoxin concentrations were measured from 69 point-of-use(POU) water treatment system(WTS) by using Limulus amebocyte lysate(LAL) assay, and the results were compared to heterotrophic bacterial data. Endotoxin concentrations in all POU WTS water samples and tap waters varied within the range 0.8-79.1EU mL$\^$-1/ and 0.1-3.4EU mL$\^$-1/, respectively, The correlations between endotoxin concentration and HPC bacteria from the water samples showed not significant(r=0.18).

낙동강 하구언 건설에 따른 하구생태계의 변화를 파알하기 위하여 축조 전후의 환경인자와 종속 영양세균의 생리적 특성을 요인분석에 의해 비교하였다. 하구언 축조 후 해수유입의 영향이 급격히 감소하였으며, 축조 전 50.7% 를 차지하던 영양물질의 과다와 관련된 환경변수가 축조후 77.1%로 증가하였다.하구언 축조 전 환경변수와 종속영양세균의 생리적 특성 사이에 밀접한 관련성을 나타냈으며, 축조 후에도 종속영양세균의 생리적 특성이 영양물질의 과다와 관련된 형질로 대부분 해석되어 환경변화와 분포 미생물의 생리적 특성 사이의 관련성을 나타내었다. 그러나 하구언 축조에 따른 해수유입의 차단에도 불구하고 분리균주의 생리적 특성에 의한 요인분석의 3번째 쥬요인이 호염성 형질로 해석되어 작동강 하구의 환경변화에 따른 종속영양세균의 형질이 아직 완전 안정화되지 않은 것으로 사료된다.
