The timing of poly(3-Hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) biosynthesis was controlled by varying the agitation speed of a stirred tank fermentor during the pH-stat fed-batch culture of recombinant Escherichia coli strain GCSC 6576 harboring pSYL107. Using a concentrated whey solution containing ca. 200 g/l lactose as the nutrient feed, the PHB content was only 57% after 35h due to volumetric limitation of the fermentor. However, by limiting the oxygen by maintaining the agitation speed at 300 rpm, the final PHB content increased to 70% after 70h with a cell concentration of 15 g/l. When the agitation speed was increased up to 500 rpm, a cell concentration of 31 g/l with 80% PHB was obtained after 52h. A further increase in the maximum agitation speed increased the cell concentration, PHB concentration, and PHB productivity, however, the PHB content decreased to 56-58%.

본 연구에서는 국내 분포하고 있는 490개 저수지를 대상으로 유역특성과 수질과의 관계를 조사하였고, TSI편차분석을 통해 유형을 구분하여 영양염 측면에서의 각 유형별 특성을 조사하였다. 본 연구 대상저수지에서 수심이 얕을수록 부영양화 가능성이 높게 나타났다. 유역 내 논과 밭의 이용면적이 30%이상인 경우 수체 내 TP농도는 평균 0.1 mg $L^{-1}$ 이상이었다. TN 농도는 유역전체면적 중 논의 면적이 25% 이상인 경우에 평균 2.6 mg $L^{-1}$이상의 분포를 나타냈다. TSI편차를 통해 구분된 형태 중 TYPE III에 해당하는 저수지의 수질항목별 평균 농도는 다른 두 형태에 포함된 저수지에서 보다 2배 이상 높은 수준이었다. TYPE III에 포함된 저수지는 다른 두 유형에 포함된 저수지와 비교해 부영양상태이고, 수심이 얕으며, 수표면적에 대한 유역면적비 (DA/RA)가 작고, 논과 밭으로의 이용면적이 넓었다. TYPE I과 II에 포함된 저수지의 수질은 TYPE II에서 BOD와 엽록소 ${\alpha}$농도가 높은 것을 제외하고는 유사한 수준이었고, 형태학적 특성(평균수심, DA/RA)이나 토지이용형태 또한 유사하였다. TYPE I에 포함된 저수지들에서는 인이 조류성장에 대한 일차적인 제한요인은 아닌 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서 모든 대상저수지에서 인의 제한가능성이 나타났으며, 토지이용형태, 특히 유역 내 논과 밭으로의 이용면적은 저수지의 수질을 결정하는 매우 중요한 인자였다.

The increase of population and industrial activities had brought into eutrophication in the Nakdong river. A remarkable acceleration of eutrophication brought about serious problems for water supply. Therefore, for the purpose of conservation of water quality in the Nakdong river it is necessary to control nutrients. MBOD method was use to evaluate algal growth limiting factor and algal growth potential in the Nakdong river from June to August 1994. The modified biochemical oxygen demand(MBOD) depends on the amount of available inorganic nutrient and organic substrate during 5 day incubation in the dark at 20$^{circ}C$. The MBOD assay depends on inorganic nutrients such as P and N as well as reduced carbon and called the MBOD, the MBOD-P, and the MBOD-N, respectively. The results of bioassay by MBOD(Modified BOD) method showed that the MBOD, MBOD-P and MBOD-N value were found to be in the ranges of 3.8∼96.0 mg$O_2$/l, 5.6∼94.0 mg$O_2$/l and 42.0∼220 mg$O_2$/l, respectively. And the the bioassay value was found to be the highest in Koryong area and the lowest in Waekwan area throughout the Nakdong river. The variations of MBOD-P and MBOD-N value showed similar tendencies to the variations of phosphorus and nitrogen value, respectively. By MBOD method, the relationships of MBOD, MBOD-P and MBOD-N value were MBOD ≒ MBOD-P 《 MBOD-N. The MBOD value was nearly equal to the MBOD-P value, and the MBOD-N value was 3 to 20 times more than the MBOD-P value, approximately. Therefore, in the Nakdong river, phosphorus was the limiting factor for algal growth during summer season. The algal growth potential as the concentration of chlorophyll-a in the summer was maximum 5 times more than standing crop as it.

우리나라 남해안에서 매년 유해 와편모조류인 Cochlodinium polykrikoides에 의한 적조가 발생하고 있는데, 본 연구에서는 남해안의 사량도 주변 해역을 대상으로 AGP 시험을 통하여 C. polykrikoides의 성장 제한영양염을 평가하였다. Macro- 및 micro-nutrients 첨가에 의한 적조 발생 단계별 C.polykrikoides의 성장은 두 가지의 서로 다른 반응으로 나타나 조류성장 제한영양염이 명확하게 확인되었다. 사량도 해역의 고정점에서 적조가 발생하기 전인 7월과 8월, 적조가 소멸한 후인 10월의 AGP 시험에서는 질산질소 ($50{\mu}M$)와 인산인 ($5{\mu}M$), 암모니아질소 ($50{\mu}M$)와 인산인 ($5{\mu}M$)의 복합첨가에 의해 성장률이 크게 증가하였다. Macro-nutrients의 단일첨가에 대해서는 뚜렷한 성장을 나타내지 않았고 micro-nutrients도 성장을 촉진시키지 않았다. 이러한 결과로 이 시기에는 질소와 인이 동시에 C. polykrikoides의 성장 제한영양염으로 작용하였다는 것이 확인되었다. 그러나, 적조가 발생한 9월의 AGP 시험에서는 성장에 필요한 macro- 및 micro-nutrients의 결핍이 나타나지 않아 이 기간 중에 C. polykri-koides의 성장은 영양염의 제한을 받지 않는다는 것이 확인되었다. 이때 사량도 연안의 영양염 농도는 암모니아질소와 인산인 농도가 각각 $24.33{\mu}M$, $1.61{\mu}M$로 적조가 발생하기 전과 소멸한 후에 비해 평균 8.2, 4.8배 높은 값을 나타냈고, 질산질소 농도는 $0.58{\mu}M$로 평 균 3.3배 낮은 값을 나타냈다. 그러므로, C. polykrikoides 적조는 N, P 농도 증가에 기인한 부영양화가 진행되는 해역에서 발생할 가능성이 높다는 것을 시사한다.

In order to understand the spatial and temporal variations of nutrients and factors controlling their distribution in Gwangyang Bay, this study was carried out bimonthly from June 2001 to July 2003, Inorganic silicate and nitrate concentrations ranged from $0.04{\mu}M\;to\;69.5{\mu}M(avg.\;12.9{\mu}M)$, and from $0.12{\mu}M\;to\;42.2{\mu}M\;(avg.\;7.83{\mu}M)$, respectively. Silicate concentrations measured just after the typhoon were the highest with an average of $43.2{\mu}M$ at the surface layer in June 2001, whereas the highest nitrate concentration $(avg.\;37.0{\mu}M)$ was observed in the surface layer in July 2003. River runoff apparently influenced variations in silicate and nitrate concentrations (r=0.701 and 0.728, p<0.000, respectively) as well as salinity (r=-0.628, p<0.000). Phosphate concentrations ranged from $0.24{\mu}M\;to\;5.70{\mu}M\;(avg.\;1.34{\mu}M)$ and were highest at stations 5, 6, and 7, near a fertilizer plant with an average of $2.01{\mu}M$. On the basis of N/P and Si/N molar ratios, limiting nutrients have varied temporary and spatially. During 2001-2002, nitrogen was a limiting nutrient in the study area, and Phosphate was limited when a large volume of freshwater flowed into the bay. Silicate was limited when the high standing crops of phytoplankton occurred in the whole study area throughout 2003, and in the inner bay in February and August 2002. During the study period, factors controlling the distribution of nutrients might be summarized as follows; 1) inflow of freshwater by heavy rain accompanied by typhoons and frequent rainfall in summer, showing high concentrations of silicate and nitrate, 2) release of high phosphate concentrations from the fertilizer plant located in the south of Moydo to adjacent stations, 3) release of nutrients from bottom sediment, 4) magnitude of occurrence of phytoplankton standing crops.

Skeletal muscle is of major economic importance since it is finally converted to meat for consumers. The increase in meat production with low costs of production may be achieved by optimizing muscle growth, whereas a high meat quality requires, among other factors, the optimization of intramuscular glycogen and fat stores. Thus, research in energy metabolism aims at controling muscle metabolism, but also liver and adipose tissue metabolism in order to optimize energy partitioning in favour of muscles. Liver is characterized by high anabolic and catabolic rates. Metabolic enzymes are regulated by nutrients through short-term regulation of their activities and long-term regulation of expression of their genes. Consequences of liver metabolic regulation on energy supply to muscles may affect protein deposition (and hence growth) as well as intramuscular energy stores. Adipose tissues are important body reserves of triglycerides, which result from the balance between lipogenesis and lipolysis. Both processes depend on the feeding level and on the nature of nutrients, which indirectly affect energy delivery to muscles. In muscles, the regulation of rate-limiting nutrient transporters, of metabolic enzyme activities and of ATP production, as well as the interactions between nutrients affect free energy availability for muscle growth and modify muscle metabolic characteristics which determine meat quality. The growth of tissues and organs, the number and the characteristics of muscle fibers depend, for a great part, on early events during the fetal life. They include variations in quantitative and qualitative nutrient supply to the fetus, and hence in maternal nutrition. During the postnatal life, muscle growth and characteristics are affected by the age and the genetic type of the animals, the feeding level and the diet composition. The latter determines the nature of available nutrients and the rate of nutrient delivery to tissues, thereby regulating metabolism. Physical activity at pasture also favours the orientation of muscle metabolism, towards the oxidative type. Consequently, breeding systems may be of a great importance during the postnatal life. Research is now directed towards the determination of individual tissue and organ energy requirements, a better knowledge of nutrient partitioning between and within organs and tissues. The discovery of new molecules (e. g. leptin), of new molecular mechanisms and of more powerful techniques (DNA chips) will help to achieve these objectives. The integration of the different levels of knowledge will finally allow scientists to formulate new types of diets adapted to sustain a production of high quality meat with lower costs of production.

A CRD experiment with thirty growing cross bred calves were assigned at random to three treatments rations. 1) $T_0$, 0% Urea + 20% M. O. cake, 2) $T_1$, 1% Urea + 10% M. O. cake and 3) $T_2$, 2% Urea + 0% M. O. cake to develop a rice straw based ration for ruminants. Sweetish odour and yellowish colour were observed in good recovered silage. Organic matter varied from 87.45% to 89.63% whereas crude protein varied from 14.0% to 14.5% in each treatment. No significant differences were found among the nutrient composition of the ration. The dry matter in take (DMI) and dry matter digestibility was higher in $T_0$ (0% Urea) than those of ration containing 1% ($T_1$) and 2% Urea ($T_2$). The organic matter digestibility decreases with increasing doses of urea. The crude protein & nitrogen-free-extract digestibility were found higher in the ration $T_1$ containing 1% urea whereas crude fibre digestibility and available metabolizable energy (ME) were higher in $T_0$ containing no urea as compared to $T_1$ and $T_2$. Total digestible nutrient (TDN) decreases with the increase of urea level. The highest feed efficiency was found in $T_0$ having no urea and lowest was in $T_2$. The animals gained in weights from each ration. Highest gain in weight was found in $T_0$ ration, then followed $T_1$, and $T_2$. This is due to natural protein available in M. O. cake only. It is concluded that supplemetation of urea or M. O. cake with readily available energy source as molasses upto 20% of total dietary dry matter in a complete ration may increase the intake of low quality fibrous roughage only when nitrogen and mineral are not limiting factor.

A monitoring study has been conducted to identify hydrologic conditions, water quality and nutrient loading characteristics of small watershed in Juam Lake. Climate data of the watershed were collected; flow rate was measured and water quality sampling was conducted at the watershed outlet for this study. Water quality data revealed that T-P concentrations meet I grade of lake water quality standard during non-storm period, but degraded up to II-III grade of lake water quality standard during storm period. The observed T-N concentrations always exceeded lake water quality standard. Therefore, T-P was identified as limiting chemical constituent for eutrophication of Juam Lake. T-P concentration of non-storm period also revealed that point source pollution is not serious in the watershed. Three year monitoring results showed that the observed T-N losses were $10.85\~18.88$ kg/ha and T-P losses were $0.028\~0.323$ kg/ha during six month (Mar. - Oct.), respectively. Major portion of runoff amount discharged by a few storm events a year and nutrient load showed apparent seasonal variation. Huge runoff amounts were generated by intense storms, which make application of water treatment or detention facilities ineffective. Monitoring results confirmed that water quality improvement by abating nonpoint source pollution in rural watershed of monsoon climate should be focused on source control. T-P losses from paddy field seemed to consist of significant amount of total load from study watershed. Therefore, management of drainage from paddy field is considered to be important for preventing algal blooming problem in Juam Lake.

Kinetic analysis was important to develope the biological nutrient removal process effectively. In this research, anoxic-anaerobic-aerobic system was operated to investigate kinetic behavior on the nutrient removal reaction. Nitrification and denitrification were important microbiological reactions of nitrogen. The kinetics of organic removal and nitrification reaction have been investigated based on a Monod-type expression involving two growth limiting substrates : TKN for nitrification and COD for organic removal reaction. The kinetic constans and yield coefficients were evaluated for both these reactions. Experiments were conducted to determine the biological kinetic coefficients and the removal efficiencies of COD and TKN at five different MLSS concentrations of 5000, 4200, 3300, 2600, and 1900 mg/L for synthetic wastewater. Mathematical equations were presented to permit complete evaluation of the this system. Kinetic behaviors for the organic removal and nitrification reaction were examined by the determined kinetic coefficient and the assumed operation condition and the predicted model formulae using kinetic approach. The conclusions derived from this experimental research were as follows : 1. Biological kinetic coefficients were Y=0.563, $k_d=0.054(day^{-1})$, $K_S=49.16(mg/L)$, $k=2.045(day^{-1})$ for the removal of COD and $Y_N=0.024$, $k_{dN}=0.0063(day^{-1})$, $K_{SN}=3.21(mg/L)$, $k_N=31.4(day^{-1})$ for the removal of TKN respectively. 2. The predicted kinetic model formulae could determine the predicted concentration of the activated sludge and nitrifier, investigate the distribution rate of input carbon and nitrogen in relation to the solid retention time (SRT).
