Acetaminophen 자화성 Pseudomonas sp.에 존재하는 aryl acylamidase[EC 3.5.1.13]는 ammonium sulfate fractionation, DEAE-Sephacel anion exchange chromatography, Phenyl-Sepharose CL-4B hydrophobic interaction chroamtography 및 Sephadex G-100 gel-permeation chromatography를 통해 순수 정제되었다. 정제된 효소는 SDS-PAGE상에서 분자량을 측정한 결과 56 kDa, Sephadex G-100 gel-permeation chromatography로 측정한 결과 57 kDa이었으며, 따라서 단일한 subunit로 구성된 효소이었다. 정제된 효소의 최대 활성을 위한 pH와 온도는 각각 pH 10.5와 4$0^{\circ}C$이였다. 5$0^{\circ}C$에서 30분간 처리시 34%의 잔존활성을 나타내었다. Acetaminophen과 4'-nitroacetanilide쉐 대한 Km값은 각각 0.10 mM과 0.11 mM 이었다.

응집-UF 정수공정시 응집 전처리 공정에 있어 완속혼합없이 급속혼화만으로 충분한 응집의 효과를 기대할 수 있으며, 급속혼화장치로 in-line static mixer를 사용한 경우가 기존의 back mixer를 사용 한 경우보다 롤은 DOC 제거효율을 얻을 수 있었다. 또한, 적정 주입량인 16 mg alum/L에서 막의 투과 flux 감소가 가장 적게 나타났으며 적정 주입량보다 너무 적거나 또는 너무 많은 경우 모두 막의 투과 fiux 감소가 크게 나타났다. 또한 막의 fouling에 크게 영향을 미치는 것은 hydrophobic 물질로 이는 응집 전처리시 효과적으로 제거되어짐으로써 막의 투과 flux 감소를 줄일 수 있었다.

분획분자량이 50,000인 acrylonitrile과 vinyl chloride의 공중합체 재질의 한외여과막(KOCH Membrane System, HF1-45-CM50)과 분획분자량이 100,000인 polysulfone 한외여과막(KOCH Membrane System, HF1-43-CM100)을 사용하여 순수에 3% 농도로 희석한 수용성 합성 절삭유의 투과특성을 연구하였다. 친수성 분리막인 HF1-45-CM50은 합성 절삭유의 투과실험에서 높은 투과유속과 오일성분 투과율을 보였으나 소수성 분리막인 HF1-43-CM100의 경우에는 오일 투과율은 HF1-45-CM50과 유사하였으나 투과유속은 훨씬 저하되었는데 이는 합성 절삭유가 소수성 막의 표면을 쉽게 적셔서 친수성 막에 비해 더 심한 막오염을 유발시킨다는 것을 의미한다. 또한 분리막 재질의 특성이 합성 절삭유의 투과특성에 미치는 영향이 분리막의 평균 기공크기의 영향보다 훨씬 더 크다는 사실을 알 수 있었다. 막오염을 감소시키기 위해 질소에 의한 역세척 실험을 수행한 결과 역세척 효과가 친수성 분리막에서는 뚜렷이 나타났으나 소수성 분리막의 경우에는 오히려 투과유속의 감소를 초래하였다. 폐합성 절삭유에 의해 오염된 분리막의 세척실험에서는 세척용액에 분리막을 72시간 이상 침지시킨 후 역세척을 수행할때 가장 높은 투과유속의 회복율을 얻을 수 있었다.

The improvement of fouling resistance of porous polymeric membrane is one of the most important targets in membrane preparation for water purification in many process like wastewater treatment. Membranes can be modified by various techniques, including the treatment of polymer material, blending of hydrophilic polymer into polymer solution, and post treatment of fabricated membrane. This research proposed the modifications of morphology and surface property of hydrophobic membrane by blending polyethersulfone (PES) with three polymeric additives, polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), Pluronic F127 (Plu), and Tetronic 1307 (Tet). PES hollow fiber membranes were fabricated via dry-wet spinning process by using a spinneret with inner and outer diameter of 0.7 and 1.0 mm, respectively. The morphology changes of PES blend membrane by those additives, as well as the change of performance in ultrafiltration module were comparatively observed. The surface structure of membranes was characterized by atomic force microscopy and Fourier transform infra red spectroscopy. The cross section morphology of PES blend hollow fiber membranes was investigated by scanning electron microscopy. The results showed that all polymeric additives blended in this system affected to improve the performances of PES membrane. The ultra-filtration experiment confirmed that PES-PVP membrane showed the best performance among the three membranes on the basis of filtration stability.

The resistance in series model has been frequently used for determination of various filtration resistance to correctly understand the membrane fouling behaviour in MBR (membrane bio-reactor) for wastewater treatment. The cake layer resistance ($R_c$) which is commonly determined by calculation of flux dataset that are obtained empirically before and after removing the cake layer on membrane surface. However, the calculated Rc values are very dependent on the cleaning methods adapted for removal of cake layer. This study investigated how the various cleaning options affect $R_c$. Seven different cleaning methods were employed: i) ultrasonication (100 W, 10 min), ii) ultrasonication (200 W, 60 min), iii) ultrasonication (400 W, 120 min), iv) water rinsing in a shaker (100 rpm, 10 min), v) water rinsing in a shaker (300 rpm, 60 min), vi) water rinsing, vii) sponge scrubbing. For the hydrophilic PES membrane, the cake layer removal efficiencies ranged from 64% to 10%, indicating that the removal of cake layer was highly dependent on the cleaning options. For the hydrophobic PVDF membrane, the cake layer removal efficiencies ranged from 79% to 97%. Consequently, a standardized method for cake layer removal to determine cake resistance ($R_c$) is needed for correct interpretation of the fouling phenomena.

The intracellular superoxide dismutase (SOD) from Staphylococcus sciuri was isolated to homogeneity by continuous steps, including ammonium sulfate fractionation, DEAE-ion-exchange chromatography, gel filtration, and phenyl hydrophobic gel chromatography. Pure SOD had a specific activity of 4,625 U/mg and was purified 158-fold with a yield of 31 % from a cell free extract. The molecular weight of the purified SOD was determined to be approximately 35.5 kDa by gel filtration and the enzyme was also shown to be composed of dimeric subunits on denaturing SDS-PAGE. The enzyme activity remained stable at pH 5 to 11 and also to heat treatment of up to $50^{\circ}C$ at pH 7.8, with 80% relative activity. The enzyme was insensitive to cyanide, hydrogen peroxide, and azide, indicating that it is a manganese-containing SOD. The EPR spectrum showed the enzyme containing manganese as a cofactor.

Two novel calcium-binding proteins, named CAB-I and CAB-II, have been isolated from Streptomyces coelicolor. Purification of the calcium-binding proteins involved heat treatment, fractionation with ammonium sulfate, acid treatment, anion exchange and hydrophobic interaction column chromatography, FPLC gel filtration, and preparative isoelectric focusing. A chelex competitive assay and 45Ca autoradiography verified the calcium-binding ability of the proteins. The major band CAB-II has an apparent molecular weight of 26,000 determined by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and 340,000 determined by gel filtration. The isoelectric point of this molecule showed the acidic nature of the molecule. N-terminal amino acid sequence analysis shows homology to rat Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase-II (CAB-II) and yeast phosphoprotein phosphatase (CAB-I).

Membrane distillation process was used for purification of pre-treated natural water (tap water). The rejection of inorganic and organic compounds in this process was investigated. The obtained rejection of inorganic solutes was closed to 100%, but the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) diffused through the membrane together with water vapour. The content of trihalomethanes (THMs) in the obtained distillate was two-three fold higher than that in the feed, therefore, the rejection of the total organic compounds present in the tap water was reduced to a level of 98%. The intensive membranes scaling was observed during the water separation. The morphology and composition of the fouling layer was studied using scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy dispersion spectrometry. The influence of thermal water pre-treatment performed in a heat exchanger followed by filtration on the MD process effectiveness was evaluated. This procedure caused that significantly smaller amounts of $CaCO_3$ crystallites were deposited on the membrane surface, and a high permeate flux was maintained over a period of 160 h.

This report describes a high-level expression of human alpha-2a interferon ($IFN{\alpha}-2a$) in Escherichia coli and its pilot scale purification by using a monoclonal antibody-independent chromatographic procedure that is based on anion-exchange, cation-exchange, hydrophobic interaction, and gel filtration. The recombinant E. coli produced much more $IFN{\alpha}-2a$ in a soluble form, when cultivated at low temperatures than at high-temperature fermentation. However, if the bacterial growth was taken into consideration, fermentation at $30^{\circ}C$ seemed optimal for the interferon production. By using our new protocol, we recovered approximately 160 mg of $IFN{\alpha}-2a$ with a specific activity of $3.59{\times}10^8$ IU/mg from 201 of the broth. The gel permeation chromatographic and SDS-PAGE indicated that the interferon preparation was purified to homogeneity and was of the correctly folded fast-migrating monomer.

Fibrinolytic protease activity was detected in the fruit body of Pleurotus sajor-caju using a fibrin plate method. Two fibrinolytic activities (FPI and Ⅱ) were found at the regions of 14.5 and 86.0 kDa by using gel-filtration column chromatography. FPⅡ was identified as an alkaline protease, whereas FPⅠ was a neutral protease. Both were inhibited by phenanthrolin and EDTA, suggesting that they are metalloprotease. Inactivated enzyme activities were restored by adding Co/sup 2+/ or Zn/sup 2+/. Iodoacetate inhibited FPⅠ, but not FPⅡ. Both enzymes cleaved B/sub β/ and γ chains of the human fibrinogen. FPⅡ showed a preference to hydrophobic and bulky residues of nitroanilidine compounds as substrates, whereas FPⅠ preferred positively charged residues.
