Large amounts of orange juice are produced in Japan every yea.. Accompanied by the production of orange juice, large amount of juice residues are also generated in nearly the same amounts with juice. Although, at present, some of these residues are marketed as a feed for cattle after drying and mixing with lime, the marketing price is lower than its production cost and the difference is paid by the consumers as a part of the price of orange juice. In the present work, we developed new innovative use of orange juice residue, a biomass waste, as adsorption gel for removing toxic heavy metals such as lead. arsenic, selenium and so on as well as radioactive elements such as uranium and thorium from environments. The major components of orange juice residue are cellulose. hemicellulose and pectin, which are converted into pectic. acid, an acidic polysaccharide, by means of saponification with concentrated sodium hydroxide solution. In the previous work, we found that crosslinked pectic acid gel strongly an selectively adsorbs lead over other metals such as zinc an copper. On the other hand. it is well known that polysaccharides such as cellulose can be easily phosphorylated and that phosphorylated polysaccharides have high affinity to uranium and thorium as well as some trivalent metals such as ferric iron and aluminum. Taking account of the noticeable characteristics of these polysaccharides, 2 types of adsorption gels were prepared from orange juice residue: one is the gel which was prepared by saponificating the residue followed by crosslinking with epichlorohydrin and another is that prepared by crosslinking the residue followed by phosphorylation. The former gel exhibited excellent adsorptive separation behavior for lead away from zinc owing to high content of pectic acid while the latter gel exhibited that for uranium and thorium. Both types of adsorption gels exhibited high affinity to ferric iron, which enables selective and strong adsorption for some toxic oxo-anions of arsenic (V and III), . selenium and so on via iron loaded on these gels. These results demonstrate that biomass wastes such as orange juice residue can be effectively utilized fer the purpose of removing toxic heavy or radioactive metals existing in trace or small amounts in environments.

전라북도 전주시 지역의 만경강 하천변 충적 대수층에 심도 30m까지 설치된 다중 심도 관정을 이용하여 산화-환원 환경과 관련된 지하수의 생물지구화학적 특성을 조사하였다. 대체로 용존 산소(DO)가 1 mg/L이하의 혐기성 환경이 지배적이었으며, 10-20m 구간에서는 높은 농도의 Fe($14{\sim}37mg/L$)와 Mn($1{\sim}4mg/L$)이 나타나고 그 하부에서는 S(-II) 이온이 검출되었다. 용존 Fe와 Mn이 높은 구간에서는 $O_2,\;NO_3$가 거의 없고, 퇴적물내의 Fe와 Mn의 함량은 심도에 따라 큰 차이 없이 분포하고 있어 전자수용체로서 이용된 Fe(III), Mn(IV)의 환원에 의해 지하수내의 용존 Fe와 Mn의 농도가 높아진 것으로 볼 수 있다. 용존 농도에서 Mn이 Fe에 비해 상대적으로 농도가 높게 나타나는 구간이 더 넓다. 환원 과정에서 전자공여체(electron donor)로 이용될 수 있는 유기 탄소(DOC) 농도가 지하수면 부근에서 급격히 감소하는 것으로 보아 지하수내 유기물은 상부에서 유입되는 것으로 보인다. 20m 하부에서는 $SO_4$가 감소하고 S(-II) 이온이 검출되는 것으로 보아 상부 구간보다는 하부구간에서 $SO_4$ 환원작용이 활발함을 지시한다. 여러 산화-환원쌍으로부터 계산된 산화-환원 전위는 Fe를 포함하는 쌍들간을 제외하고는 모두 일치하지 않아 전체적으로 산화-환원적으로 비평형 상태에 있다고 볼 수 있다. 지하수면 부근을 제외하고는 siderite, rhodochrosite 등의 탄산염 광물의 포화지수가 -2에서 +1의 범위를 보여 이들 광물에 의해 각각 Fe(II), Mn(II) 이온의 농도가 지하수내에서 조절될 수 있음을 보여주며, 20m 하부 심도 구간에서 S(-II) 이온이 검출되는 지점에서는 Fe(II)의 경우 FeS 광물에 의해서도 농도가 조절될 수 있다.

Porphyromonas gingivalis, a Gram negative, anaerobic, asaccharolytic rod, is one of the most frequently implicated pathogens in human periodontal disease and has a requirement for hemin for growth. A 30 kDa (heated 24 kDa) hemin-binding protein whose expression is both hemin and iron regulated has recently been purified and characterized in this oral pathogen. This study has identified a hemin-binding P. gingivalis protein by expression of a P. gingivalis genomic library in Escherichia coli, a bacterium which does not require or transport exogenous hemin. A library of genomic DNA fragments from P. gingivalis was constructed in plasmid pUC18, transformed into Escherichia coli strain $DH5{\alpha}$ , and screened for recombinant clones with hemin-binding activity by plating onto hemin-containing agar. Of approximately 10,000 recombinant E. coli colonies screened on LB-amp-hemin agar, 10 exhibited a clearly pigmented phenotype. Each clone contained various insert DNA. The Hind III fragment transferred to the T7 RNA polymerase/promoter expression vector system produced a sligltly smaller (21 kDa) protein, a precursor form, immunoreactive to the antibody against the 24 kDa protein, suggesting that the cloned DNA fragment probably carried an entire gene for the 24 kDa hemin-binding protein.

The complex 1 $([Cp*Fe(CO)_2]_2-(\mu-CH=CH-CH=CH))$ which have butadiene as a bridge were synthesized from $Cp*(CO)_2FeK$ and cis-3,4-dichlorocyclobutene. The derivatives of complex 1 where one or two carbonyl groups are replaced by phosphine ligands have been prepared by photochemical substitution. The new derivatives $([Cp*Fe(L)_2]_2-(\mu-CH=CH-CH=CH))$ where L = $(Ph_2PCH_2CH_2PPh_2)$ and $([Cp*Fe(CO)(L)]_2-(\mu-CH=CH-CH=CH))$ where L : $PPh_3$ have been characterized from $^^1H-$, $^^13C-$,$^^31P-NMR$ and elemental analysis. Obtained complexes have been studied in electrochemical experiment and UV/VIS-near-IR. The mixed-valence radical cation forms of complex 2, 3 species were found to be delocalized as the Class III. Based on the separation of the waves ($\triangle E$ : 0.470 ~ 0.605 V), the efficiency of electronic communication between two metal centers of cation species leading to stabilization relative to neutral species. The phosphine-substitute complexes (2, 3) displays two reversible oxidation waves and oxidation state of metal centers-dependent color change, electrochromism, was observed from yellow to orange and deep blue in methylene chloride.

The Bupyeong Silver mine which is located approximately 35km west of Seoul is currently the leading silver producer in Korea. The deposits occur as stockwork deposits hosted in Jurassic pyroclastic rocks. Occurrences of ore deposits and mineral paragenesis suggest a division of mineralization into four stages: Stage I, deposition of iron oxide and base metal sulfides; Stage II, deposition of tin oxide and silverm inerals; stage III, deposition of native silver and other silver minerals; Stage IV, formation of pyrite bearing siderite veinlets, Silver minerals in ore are native silver, argentite, freibergite, pyrargyrite, canfieldite, polybasite, dyscrasite and Ag-Fe-S mineral. The most important silver mineral is native silver among them. Chemical composition of important silver minerals were determined by electron probe microanalyser. Assay, size and modal analyses for floatation products were carried out. In floatation products, relative proportion of native silver for total important silver minerals have following ranges: feed, 64.7 to 74.74 wt.%; A-cleaner concentrate, 80.58 to 98.79 wt.%; and final tailing, 28.12 to 72. 57 wt. %. Average degree of liberation for native silver in feed and A-cleaner concentrate are 60.49% and 77.57% respectively. Negative relationship can be recognized between native silver and argentite in their abundance and behavior in floatation precesses.

Objectives: Fibrinolytic enzyme preparations were isolated from the snake venom of Macrovipera lebetica turanica in this study. Methods: The purity of the preparations was determined using SDS-PAGE and the enzymic characteristics of the purified fibrinolytic enzyme were determined. Results: 1. All of the two preparations with fibrinolytic activity obtained from the snake venom of M. l. turanicat contained the major polypeptide with the molecular weight of 27,500. One of the preparation showed purified fibrinolytic enzyme. 2. The purified fibrinolytic enzyme hydrolyzed ${\alpha}$-chain of fibrinogen faster than ${\beta}$-chain but not ${\gamma}$-chain. 3. The fibrinolytic activity was inhibited completely by EDTA, EGTA, 1,10-phenanthroline, and dithiothreitol. 4. The fibrinolytic activity was inhibited completely by calcium chloride, iron(III) chloride, mercuric chloride, and cobalt (II) chloride. 5. The fibrinolysis zone formed after addition of zinc sulfate was smaller but clearer than the control. Conclusions: These results suggested that the fibrinolytic enzyme purifed from the snake venom of M. l turanica was a metalloprotease containing dithiol group.

In order to investigate a practical application of fibrous absorbents to transition metals such as copper, nickel, cobalt, chrome, and iron, amidoximated fiber as a particular class of solid chelate agents were prepared from acrylic fibers treatment with hydroxylamine. The adsorption mechanisms of metal ions onto amidoximated acrylic fibers and their complexes were studied. Amidoximation of acrylic fiber with hydroxylamine is found to be first-order reaction, followed by the disappearance of infrared adsorption peaks due to nitrile groups of acrylic fibers. The uptake of metal ions onto amidoximated acrylic fiber is increased with temperature raising and the adsorption is also depended on pH of the soiutions. About 70% of metal ions can be recovered from aqueous solutions of Ni(II), Co(II), Cr(III), and Fe(II) on the concentration below 5x 10$^$^{-4}$ in the range of pH 2.1~10.0. Transition metals are adsorbed to form complex with amidoxime group by the ligand sites such as C=N, NH, NO, NHOH.OH.

More than 20 and 10 clades / ecotypes of Synechococcus and Prochlorococcus, respectively, have been identified in various oceanic regions. However, their diversity has yet to be thoroughly studied in the northwest Pacific Ocean. Further, spatial distribution of Synechococcus clades in the oligotrophic oceans has been scarcely characterized. To elucidate picocyanobacterial lineage distribution in the northwest Pacific Ocean, 16S-23S internal transcribed spacer sequences of picocyanobacteria were sequenced by barcoded amplicon pyrosequencing method. Additional pyrosequencing library using a primer specific for the Synechococcus subcluster-5.1 was constructed to thoroughly understand Synechococcus diversity in the oligotrophic oceans. In warm pool area, Prochlorococcus was predominant and showed a distinct depthpartitioning between HLII and LL ecotypes. Despite low abundances, diverse Synechococcus clades appeared in the oligotrophic open ocean, showing both vertical and horizontal niche partitioning. Clade II was the predominant Synechococcus clade, especially in upper euphotic depths. In shallow and middle euphotic depths, clades UC-A, III, and CRD1 were distributed broadly. However, a distinct shift in the horizontal distribution was found at ca. $20^{\circ}N$. Conversely, clades XVII and CRD2 dominated at deep euphotic depths and constituted a higher proportion than clade II. These niche-partitioning of Synechococcus clades seemed to be related with temperature, nutrient concentration as well as iron concentration.

구성을 확인한 결과, 무기질의 종류와 배양기간에 따라 생성된 지방질 중 비극성지질과 극성지질의 함량비는 변하며 일반적으로 무기질을 복합으로 사용하는 경우보다 단독으로 사용하는 경우가 비극성지질의 함량이 높았다. 그리고 비극성 지질의 조성은 트리글리세리드 유리지방산 및 유리스테롤이 주성분이며 무기질을 단독으로 사용한 경우가 복합으로 사용한 때 보다 트리글리세리드의 함량이 높으며 일반적으로 배양 초기 보다 말기기 트리글리세리드의 양이 감소되었다. 균체중 총 지방질, 비극성지질 및 극성지질의 주요 지방산은 올레산, 팔미트산, 리놀레산으로 이들 지방산의 함량은 전체 지방산의 약 90%를 차지하며 배지의 무기질 조성에 따라 이들의 함량은 약간씩 달라지는 경향이었다.

Magnetite nanoparticles (MNPs) of different sizes were synthesized by solvothermal process maintaining their stoichiometric composition and unique structural phase. Utilizing hydrated ferric (III) chloride as unique iron precursor, it was possible to synthesize sub-micrometric magnetite clusters of sizes in between 208 and 381 nm in controlled manner by controlling the concentration of sodium acetate in the reaction mixture. The sub-micrometer size nanoclusters consist of nanometric primary particles of 19 - 26.3 nm average size. The concentration of sodium acetate in reaction solution seen to control the final size of primary MNPs, and hence the size of sub-micrometric magnetite nanoclusters. All the samples revealed their superparamagnetic behavior with saturation magnetization ($M_s$) values in between 74.3 and 77.4 emu/g. $M_s$. The coercivity of the nanoclusters depends both on the size of the primary particles and impurity present in them. The mechanisms of formation and size control of the MNPs have been discussed.
