Information is lacking about the effect of date of a fall cut of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) on dry matter yield (DMY), forage nutritive value, and stands persistence. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of timing of a fall cut on DMY, forage nutritive value and stand persistence of three alfalfa varieties: low-lignin Hi-Gest 360, Roundup Ready Tonica, and conventional Gunner in Northeastern Kansas in the United States. The field study was carried out by splitting plot in randomized complete block design with four replications. The harvesting data of different maturity stages were collected in each year from 2015 to 2018. Three cuts were harvested based on the stage of maturity, and the last (fourth) cut was done on September 15, September 30, October 15, and October 30 of each year. The persistence of the alfalfa stands was determined each fall after the last cut, and each spring after the first cut, by counting the number of live plants in a randomly placed quadrat in each plot. Alfalfa cut on September 15 and September 30 had a higher stand persistence compared to alfalfa cut on October 15 and October 30. The DMY of the first cut in 2016 was significantly higher in roundup ready than the low-lignin alfalfa variety. In the second cut, DMY was significantly higher in conventional alfalfa than the roundup ready. There were no significant differences in DMY between alfalfa varieties in the rest of seasonal cuttings in 2016 and 2017 and annual total yield in both years. In general, low lignin alfalfa variety had higher crude protein and relative feed value and lower acid detergent fiber and neutral detergent fiber contents than those in roundup ready and conventional alfalfa varieties. On average, nutritive value of alfalfa was generally affected by last cutting dates in 2017. Based on 3-year data the last cutting of alfalfa in the fall could be done by September 30-October 15 without harmful effect on DMY.

Steam explosion is one of the most effective pretreatment for fractionating wood. This leads to the total utilization of wood basic components; cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin. The amount of sugar and lignin extracted with the hot water method was very low. The lignin content of residues after extraction with using a sodium hydroxide treatment, increased delignification of carbohydrate as the concentration of alkali was increased. Oak, pretreated with steam exploded at 25kg/$cm^2$ for 6 min. then 1% alkali for 2hrs. showed a delignification rate up to 95%. A sodium chlorite treatment of steam exploded pine and oak also afforded a high deligninfication effect. Pine, treated 10% sodium chlorite for 2hrs. showed high delignification. However, by using a sodium hydroxide treatment, a 2% retreatment for Ihr. after a 2% for 2hrs. afforded remarkable delignification effect on exploded wood at 30kg/$cm^2$ for 9min. and at 35kg/$cm^2$ for 3-6min. In oak, an initial 2hrs. treatment of 2% sodium chlorite was followed by a second 2hrs. treatment at 10%. This showed a delignification rate of 96%.

According to KS F 2560, water-reducing agents used when mixing concrete are to undergo quality evaluation testing slump, air contents, setting time, etc., when delivered from the admixture factory to the ready mixed concrete site. Yet in actual acceptance testing this could be substituted by the score report of the admixture company, in which a possibility of low reliability lies. Therefore this study sought to analyze whether by artificially changing the solid content rate of lignin- and naphthalene-based water-reducing agents and using a liquid densimeter evaluate the quality of the admixture. The results showed that the Type B liquid densimeter was most appropriate and 50cc the most appropriate capacity for the mass cylinder. Also, judging from the changes in density and pH according to the changes in solid content rate, it concludes that a rapid appraisal of the quality of lignin- and naphthalene-based water-reducing agents would be possible using a Type B liquid densimeter.

본 연구는 질소 시비에 의해 증가된 토양 질소가 식물의 성장 및 식물체의 화학적 조성에 미치는 영향과 이로 인한 분해에서의 변화를 확인하고자 야외성장실험과 분해실험을 진행하였다. 온실에서 질소 시비구와 비시구 토양에 각각 벼를 재배하였으며 식물이 성숙한 뒤 수확하여 C, N, lignin, cellulose 함량을 측정하였다. 대조구와 질소 처리구 토양에서 재배된 식물의 개체 당 평균 건중량은 각각 0.70 g, 1.32 g로 질소 시비에 의해 1.9배 증가하였다. 식물체의 N 및 C 함량은 질소 시비에 의해 증가하였고 lignin, C/N, lignin/N, cellulose/N은 감소하였다. 이후, 수확된 식물의 지상부는 microcosm 분해실험에 이용되었으며, 분해 식물체에서 건중량의 변화, microbial biomass C와 microbial biomass N, 그리고 dehydrogenase와 urease 활성을 측정하고, 분해과정 중 발생하는 $CO_2$의 양을 정량하였다. 대조구 토양에서 분해시킨 대조구 식물체와 질소 처리구 식물체, 그리고 질소를 처리한 토양에서 분해시킨 질소 처리구 식물체의 잔존량은 각각 초기 건중량의 53.0%, 47.1%, 53.6%를 나타내었다. 질소 시비는 식물체에서 N 함량을 높이고 C/N 및 lignin/N을 낮추어 식물체의 분해를 촉진하였으나, 분해 과정에서의 토양 질소처리는 분해를 억제하였다. 질소 시비에 의해 토양에서 microbial biomass C와 dehydrogenase 활성은 감소하였고, 반면에 microbial biomass N과 urease 활성은 증가하였다. 분해 중 발생한 $CO_2$의 양은 30일 이후부터 질소 시비에 의해 감소하였다. 분해 식물체에서 측정된 microbial biomass C는 질소 처리에 의해 초기에 증가하였으나 이후 저해되는 양상을 나타냈으며 microbial biomass N은 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 질소 시비에 의해 분해 식물체에서 dehydrogenase 활성은 저해되었으며 urease는 분해 초기에 가장 높은 활성을 보였으나 분해 후기에 현저한 감소를 나타냈다. 본 실험에서 질소 시비는 식물의 성장을 증가시키고 식물체의 N 함량을 높여 화학적 조성의 변화를 일으키며 분해율을 증가시키나 분해 단계에서 질소의 시비는 미생물의 활성을 억제시켜 분해를 저해하는 결과를 나타내었다.

To separate and utilize the main components of hardwood (Quercus mongolica) by organosov pulping (ester pulping), chips were cooked at various conditions such as; the solvent ratio (acetic acid: ethylacetate: water, 50:25:25; 33:33:34; 25:50:25), maximum temperature (165, 170, $175^{\circ}C$), and cooking times (2, 2.5, 3 hr). The pulps were bleached by the sequences of CEDED, C/DEDED, PEDED. Lignin, sugars, and acetic acid were separated from black liquor and washing liquors. 1. The selective delignification at optimal pulp yield (43-45%) was obtained by cooking at acetic acid: ethylace tate: water ratio of 33:34:34 for 3 hr at $170^{\circ}C$. But in this case, kappa no. of the pulp was not reduced under 60 points. 2. Kappa no. of the pulp could be dropped by an acetone wash to remove reprecipitated lignin a t cooked pulp. 3. The unbleached pulps had a brightness of 45-50%, whereas the bleached pulps gave at 88-93% brightness. Tensile, burst, and tear strengths of the bleached pulps were lower than those of kraft pulp, especially in tear strength. The pulps which were bleached with CEDED sequence were higher in strengths than another bleaching sequences. 4. Lignin of 90-95%(lignin base on wood)was separated from black liquor and washing liquors, while the purified sugars and recovery of acetic acid were a low. An organic phase composed of acetic acid, ethylacetate, and water was separated to a two-phase system by proper adjustment of the solvent ratios.

Mushroom laccases play a crucial role in lignin depolymerization, one of the most critical challenges in lignin utilization. Importantly, laccases can utilize a wide range of substrates, such as toxicants and antibiotics. This study isolated a novel laccase, named HeLac4c, from endophytic white-rot fungi Hericium erinaceus mushrooms. The cDNAs for this enzyme were 1569 bp in length and encoded a protein of 523 amino acids, including a 20 amino-acid signal peptide. Active extracellular production of glycosylated laccases from Saccharomyces cerevisiae was successfully achieved by selecting an optimal translational fusion partner. We observed that 5 and 10 mM Ca²⁺, Zn²⁺, and K⁺ increased laccase activity, whereas 5 mM Fe²⁺ and Al³⁺ inhibited laccase activity. The laccase activity was inhibited by the addition of low concentrations of sodium azide and ⳑ-cysteine. The optimal pH for the 2,2'-Azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) diammonium salt was 4.4. Guaiacylglycerol-β-guaiacyl ether, a lignin model compound, was polymerized by the HeLac4c enzyme. These results indicated that HeLac4c is a novel oxidase biocatalyst for the bioconversion of lignin into value-added products for environmental biotechnological applications.

목재부후균은 리그닌 분해효소로 lignin peroxidase (LIP), Mn-peroxidase (MNP) 및 laccase를 생성하는데 균류에 따라 위의 효소중 하나 혹은 둘 이상의 효소를 분비하거나 전혀 생성하지 않는 균도 있다. 본 실험은 이러한 목재 부후균의 효소생성 양상과 몇 종의 염료화합물 탈색과의 상관관계를 조사하고자 하였다. 조사한 23종 36균주 중 MNP 생성균은 30균주였으며 LIP 혹은 laccase 생성균은 각각 11균주와 12균주였다. 또한 같은 종에서도 효소활성은 다양한 양상을 보여 주었다. 리그닌 분해효소 활성과 비교하여 염료 탈색 정도는 세 효소가 모두 분비되는 백색 부후균의 경우 염료 탈색율이 상대적으로 우수하였고 균주에 따라 차이가 있으나 MNP 활성만을 갖는 균주의 경우, poly R-478 polymeric dye 및 anthron-type dye 인 remazol brilliant blue R염료는 효소 활성도와 다소 유연관계를 보였으며 methylene blue, bromophenol blue및 congo red 염료는 위의 효소들과는 직접적인 관련이 없는 것으로 판단되었으며, 오히려 균사의 생장과 비례하여 탈색율을 나타냈다. LIP, MNP 및 laccase 효소활성이 거의 검출되지 않은 갈색 부후균에서는 bromophenol blue를 제외하고는 염료의 탈색이 10%미만 혹은 전혀 탈색이 되지 앓았다.
