Anodized tubular titania ($TiO_2$) electrodes (ATTEs) are prepared and used as both the photoanode and the cathode substrate in a photoelectrochemical system designed to split water into hydrogen with the assistance of an enzyme and an external bias (solar cell). In particular, the ATTE used as the cathode substrate for the immobilization of the enzyme is prepared by two methods; adsorption and crosslinking. Results show that the optimized amount of enzyme is 10.98 units for the slurried enzyme, 3.66 units for the adsorbed one and 7.32 units for the crosslinked one, and the corresponding hydrogen evolution rates are 33.04, 148.58, and 234.88 umol/hr, respectively. The immobilized enzyme, specifically the chemically crosslinked one, seems to be much superior to the slurried enzyme, due to the enhanced charge-transfer process that is caused by the lower electrical resistance between the enzyme and the ATTE. This results in a greater number of accepted electrons and a larger amount of enzymes able to deal with the electrons.

A new sensing system based on the immobilization of luminescent bacteria, photobacterium phosphoreum, was proposed for continuous real-time monitoring of pollutants. The response curves demonstrate that Photobacterium phosphoreum immobilized on the strontium alginate were very sensitive to seven reference chemicals used. The significant inhibitory concentrations for bioluminescence emission were 5 ppm for Pb$(NO_3)_2$), $NiCl_2$, $CdCl_2$, 50 ppm for $NaASO_2$, 0.1 ppm for $HgCl_2$, 0.5 ppm for pentachlorophenol and less than 5 ppm for SDS, respectively. The alginate mixed-cells (AMC) retained their luminescence during experimental period (29 days) under storage condition of $-80^{\circ}C$. The variables affecting performance of continuous flow through monitoring (CFTM) was optimized in order to ensure stability and efficiency. The flow through cell with strontium-alginate immobilized luminescent bacteria was tested with salicylate and 4-nitrophenol. A rapid response of luminescence was recorded by time drive mode in bioluminescence spectrometer after exposure to both toxicants.

Saccharomyces sake Kyokai No.7을 이용한 고정화 균체 반응기에서 연속 알콜생산시에 발효배지 성분을 1/10배 ~3/10배 범위에서 희석하여 사용할 때 균체의 생산성과 고정화 beads의 물리적 안정성이 장기적으로 유지되었다. Egg albumin hydrolysate (0.5%)와 phosphatidylcholine(0.5%)을 첨가한 발효배지를 3/10배 희석하여 공급할 때 $1.1lhr^{-1}$ 희석 율에서 최대 알콜생산성인 $69 g/\ell$-hr 이 얻어졌으며, 이는 무첨가물의 2/1011H 희석 발효배지의 최대치인 $46 g/\ell$-hr 에 비하여 50% 증가한 것이다.

Ultrastructural changes of Entamoeba histolytica, a concomitant strain YS-9, which was treated in the immune serum was examined. The amoebae in the serum became immobilized state from about 30 minutes of the treatment and recovered at about 60-90 minutes. In the cells of control group, helix structures were scattered throughout the cytoplasm. The particles comprising the helix structure averaged 20 nm in diameter. At the beginning stage of the immobilization, helical aggregates(chromatoid body) which associated with vacuoles appeared abundantly in the cytoplasm, but gradually tended to aggregate along peripheral region of the cell, specially in intactly immobilized state. Each parallel array of aggregates measured about 45 nm in width. When the cells became remobilize, pseudopodia appeared again, but helical aggregates disappeared and numerous helix structures were observed in the cell periphery. Distribution of glycogen particles showed no change, and acid phosphatase activities were seen in both the immobilized and the control group. The reaction was markedly noticed in the vacuoles.

In this study, yeast cell immobilization was carried out in a packed bed reactor (PBR) to investigate the effects of the volumetric capacity of carriers as well as the different fermentation modes on fuel ethanol production. An optimal volumetric capacity of 10 g/l was found to obtain a high cell concentration. The productivity of immobilized cell fermentation was 16% higher than that of suspended-cell fermentation in batch and it reached a higher value of 4.28 g/l/h in repeated batches. Additionally, using this method, the ethanol yield (95.88%) was found to be higher than that of other tested methods due to low concentrations of residual sugars and free cells. Continuous ethanol production using four bioreactors showed a higher productivity (9.57 g/l/h) and yield (96.96%) with an ethanol concentration of 104.65 g/l obtained from 219.42 g/l of initial total sugar at a dilution rate of 0.092 h^-1. Furthermore, we reversed the substrate-feed flow directions in the in-series bioreactors to keep the cells at their highest activity and to extend the length of continuous fermentation. Our study demonstrates an effective method of ethanol production with a new immobilized approach, and that by switching the flow directions, traditional continuous fermentation can be greatly improved, which could have practical and broad implications in industrial applications.

본 연구에서는 미세조류의 고밀도 배양을 위한 경제적인 공정을 개발하는 차원에서 3종의 미세조류 즉, Chlorella vulgaris, Dunaliella salina 및 Porphyridium purpureum를 Ca-alginate 로 microencapsulation 한 후 air-bubble column형 배양조에서 고밀도 배양을 시도하였다. $2\%\;CaCl_2$ 농도로 capsule을 제조할 때 capsule의 안정성이 가장 좋았으며, capsule 막의 두께 및 $CO_2$ 공급유무에 따른 미세조류 (Chlorella vulgaris)의 생산성은 거의 차이가 없었다. 한편, 3종의 미세조류 모두 capsule로 고정화시킨 것이 bead로 고정화한 미세조류나 free cell 보다 농도가 높았으며, 특히Dunaliella salina가 microencapsulation에 의한 고밀도 배양 효과가 가장 뛰어나 free cell 보다 약 5배 정도의 생산성을 나타내었다.

An aqueous/organic two-phase reaction system was applied to the production of catechol using immobilized resting cells of Pseudomonas putida CY 400. Water/ethyl ether system was used because of high partition coefficient of catechol and thus to reduce the product inhibition and degradation. Among the tested immobilization carriers, polyacrylamide gel gave the highest catechol productivity. The immobilization seemed to protect the cells against solvent toxicity. From the simulation of reaction conditions based on two-phase models, it was found that there was an optimum acetate concentration at fixed benzoate and cell concentrations for the catechol productivity. A lower phase volume ratio (lower fraction of organic phase) gave a higher productivity. However, the substrate conversion was low at low phase volume ratio.

The conversion of D-sorbitol to L-sorbose by Gluconobater suboxydans was analyzed, and continuous production of L-sorbose was carried out in immobilized cell reactors. L-Sorbose production by high densities of resting cells was more effective than by conventional batch fermentations. Sorbitol dehydrogenase, an enzyme converting D-sorbitol to L-sorbose, did not suffer from substrate inhibition, but from product inhibition. When L-sorbose production was carried out with Ca-alginate-immobilized cells, about 60 g/l of L-sorbose was obtained. On the other hand, when the corn steep liquor (CSL) concentration of medium was reduced to 0.08%, 80 g/l of L-sorbose was obtained. Outgrowth inside the immobilized carriers was thought to block the pores of the carriers so that substrate could not easily diffuse through the carriers. Continuous production of L-sorbose was well accomplished in a bubble column reactor, and 6. 5 g/l.h of productivity and 81.2% of yield were obtained at a substrate feeding rate of 0.08h$^{-1}$ under the optimum conditions with carrier volume of 55% and aeration rate of 3 vvm.

Wood chip을 support로 충전한 관형발효조에 Saccharomyces formosensis 효모용액을 통과시켜 고정화한 관형발효조에서 연속 발효실험을 수행한 결과 wood chip은 support로서 높은 효모 고정화율을 나타내었다. 관형발효조에서 발효실험시 유량 및 농도의 변화시 정상상태에 도달하는데 약 60시간 소요되었고, 정상상태에서 ethanol수율은 0.473-0.483로서 회분식 발효조 경우보다 높은 값을 나타냈다. 정상상태에서 ethanol생산성 (공간체적 기준)은 ethanol농도 61.4-65.7 g/l 범위에서 24.4-19.1g EtOH/$\ell$.hr를 나타내어 다른 고정화법에 의한 것과 비슷하게 높았다. 관형발효조에서 410시간 연속 발효운전시 오염현상이 없었고 효모생존율은 88-93%로 유지되었다.
