A cellulolytic bacterial strain, S2-3, was isolated from sea water collected in Jeju island, Republic of Korea. The strain was aerobic and gram negative, and formed yellow colored colonies on marine agar medium. S2-3 cells were long rod-shaped, 0.5 × 0.25 ㎛ (width x length) in size, and did not have flagella. The optimal growth conditions for S2-3 were 30-35℃ and pH 6.5-7.0. Analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence of S2-3 revealed that it had the highest identity with those of Seonamhaeicola algicola Gy8 (97.08%), Hyunsoonleella udonensis JG48 (95.01%), and Aestuariibaculum scopimerae I-15 (94.86%). In phylogenetic analysis, S2-3 formed the same clade as S. algicola Gy8, implying that S2-3 belongs to the genus Seonamhaeicola. The major fatty acids (>10%) comprised C15:1 iso G (22.29%), C15:0 iso (17.71%), C17:0 iso 3OH (16.06%), and C15:0 iso 3OH (10.7%), resulting in quite different ratio of the component from those of S. algicola Gy8. Moreover, its biochemical characteristics, including acid production and enzyme activities, were different from those of S. algicola Gy8. Therefore, putting all these results together, we concluded S2-3 is distinct species from S. algicola Gy8, and thus named it Seonamhaeicola sp. S2-3. In liquid culture, S2-3 produced extracellular cellulases that can hydrolyze cellulose or cellooligosaccharides into cellobiose, which is a good enzyme resource that deserves further research.

An open reading frame (ORF) encoding a putative epoxide hydrolase (EHase) was identified by analyzing the genome sequence of Sphingophyxis alaskensis. The EHase gene (seh) was cloned and expressed in E. coli. To facilitate purification, the gene was fused in-frame to 6$\times$ histidine at the C-terminus. The recombinant EHase (rSEH) was highly soluble and could be purified to apparent homogeneity by one step of metal affinity chromatography. The purified SEH displayed hydrolyzing activities toward various epoxides such as styrene oxide, glycidyl phenyl ether, epoxyhexane, epoxybutane, epichlorohydrin, and epifluorohydrin. The optimum activity toward styrene oxide was observed at pH 6.5 and $35^{\circ}C$. The purified SEH showed a cold-adapted property, displaying more than 40% of activity at low temperature of $10^{\circ}C$ compared with the optimum activity. Despite the catalytic efficiency, the purified SEH did not hydrolyze various epoxides enantioselectively. $K_m$ and $k_{cat}$ of SEH toward (R)-styrene oxide were calculated as 4$\pm$0.3 mM and 7.42$s^{-1}$ respectively, whereas $K_m$ and $k_{cat}$ of SEH toward (S)-styrene oxide were 5.25$\pm$0.3 mM and 10.08$s^{-1}$ respectively.

Contamination of soils, groundwater, air and marine environment with hazardous and toxic chemicals is major side effect by the industrialization. Bioremediation, the application of microorganism or microbial processes to degrade environmental contaminant, is one of the new environmental technologies. Because of low water solubility and volatility of diesel, bioremediation is more efficient than physical and chemical methods. The purpose of this study is biodegradation of diesel in sand by using Rhodococcus fascians, a microorganism isolated from petroleum contaminated soil. This study was performed in the column containing sand obtained from sea sides. Changes in biodegradability of diesel with various flow rates, inoculum sizes, diesel concentrations, and pH were investigated in sand column. The optimal condition for biodegradation of diesel by R. fascians in sand column system was initial pH 8 and air flow rate of 30 mL/min. Higher diesel degradation was achieved at larger inoculum size and the diesel degradation by R. fascians was not inhibited by diesel concentration up to 5%.

The spatial variation of organic matter sources in tidal flat sediment of the Nanakita River estuary, involving Gamo lagoon on the north-east coast of Honshu Island, Japan, was examined using carbon stable isotopes and fatty acid biomarkers. The spatial variation of total organic carbon (TOC) contents and ${\delta}^{13}C$ values were highly variable in between the stations, such as sandy flat (1.3 mg/g, -21.0‰), sand-muddy flat (2.6 mg/g, -21.9‰), and muddy flat (24.9 mg/g, -25.9‰), respectively. Particularly, at the muddy flat, high TOC content and low ${\delta}^{13}C$ value of the sediments indicated that the surface sediment was composed largely of terrestrial organic matter. Whereas, at the sandy flat and sand-muddy flat, the high ratios of diatom and bacteria biomarkers indicated the high contribution of abundant microorganism along with marine organic matter in sediment composition. From these results, it considered that the amount and origin of transported sedimentary organic matter indicated different characteristics in this study stations.

Microorganism-derived compounds, such as peptidoglycan, lipoteichoic acid, and β-glucan were supplemented in the scuticociliate Miamiensis avidus (M. avidus) vaccine to verify the specify component contribution to the adjuvant effect. Vaccine was formulated with the inactivated M. avidus antigen (YS2, 4.44×10⁵ cells/fish) in combination with either peptidoglycan (10 ㎍ and 100 ㎍/fish), lipoteichoic acid (5 ㎍ and 50 ㎍/fish), or β-glucan (10 ㎍ and 100 ㎍/fish). Olive flounder injected with peptidoglycan supplemented vaccine (10 ㎍ and 100 ㎍/fish) exhibited significant protection, and the relative percent survival (RPS) was 55% and 65% at 4 weeks post vaccination (wpv), respectively, at the corresponding doses. The vaccine groups with added lipoteichoic acid (5 ㎍ and 50 ㎍/fish) exhibited RPS of 40% and 5%, respectively. Additionally, the group with added β-glucan (100 ㎍/fish) exhibited RPS of 35%, but no effect was observed in the group with added 10 ㎍/fish β-glucan. At 8 wpv, olive flounder injected with peptidoglycan and lipoteichoic acid supplemented vaccines exhibited protection with RPS range of 11/11% and 5/21%, respectively, at the respective doses. M. avidus vaccine containing 10 ㎍ and 100 ㎍/fish of β-glucan exhibited the RPS of 32% and 37%, respectively. Conclusively, peptidoglycan contributed in high protection of the M. avidus vaccine, and thus, it can be used as an effective adjuvant in the M. avidus vaccine.

Carboxymethylcellulose (CMC)를 분해하는 미생물을 해수에서 분리하였으며, 16S rDNA의 염기서열을 분석하여 동정한 결과, Psychrobacter aquinaris로 학인 되어 P. aquinaris LBH-10로 명명하였다. 이 균주는 CMC, 셀로바이오스, 커드란, 여과지, p-nitrophenyl-$\beta$-D-glucopyranoside (pNPG), 풀루란 및 자일란을 분해하였으나, avicel 및 섬유소는 분해하지 못하였다. P. aquinaris LBH-10이 생산하는 carboxymethylcellulase (CMCase)의 최적 반응 온도는 $50^{\circ}C$이었으며, $20^{\circ}C$에서 $50^{\circ}C$의 온도 범위에서 24시간이 경과한 후에도 90% 이상의 활성을 유지하였다. 또한, 이 균주가 생산하는 CMCase의 최적 반응 pH는 3.5이었으며 pH 2.5에서 pH 7.0 사이의 산성 조건하에서 24시간이 경과한 후에도 70% 이상의 활성을 유지하였다. P. aquinaris LBH-10이 생산하는 CMCase의 최적 반응 pH는 지금까지 발견된 섬유소 분해효소 중에서 가장 낮은 pH로 판단된다. 제한된 농도의 $CoCl_2$, EDTA, 및 $PbCl_2$은 P. aquinaris LBH-10가 생산하는 CMCase의 활성을 증가시켰으나, $HgCl_2$, KCl, $MnCl_2$, $NiCl_2$, 및 $SrCl_2$는 이 균주가 생산하는 CMCase의 활성을 감소시켰다.

Cellulophga sp. J9-3은 셀룰로스 분해능력을 갖으며, Flavobacteriaceae 과에 속하는 그람-음성 호기성 해양 세균이다. 또한, J9-3 균주는 고체 및 액체 배지에서 한천을 가수 분해 할 수 있으며, 배지에 첨가한 아가로스(agarose)에 의해 아가레이즈(agarase)의 생산이 현저하게 유도되는 특성을 보였다. Cellulophga sp. J9-3의 세포 배양액으로부터, 황산암모늄 침전 및 3 단계의 컬럼 크로마토그래피를 연속적으로 수행하여, 한 개의 agarase 단백질, AgaJ93을 순수하게 정제하였다. 정제된 AgaJ93은 아가로스에 대한 분해 활성이 가장 강하였으며, starch에 대해서도 아가로스 대비 약 22% 정도의 분해 활성을 나타냈다. AgaJ93은 아가로스를 분해하여 사이즈가 큰 올리고당 중간체를 경유하여, 최종산물로 네오아가로테트라오스와 네오아가로헥사오스까지 분해함을 확인하였으며, 이는 AgaJ93이 endo-type β-아가레이즈 임을 의미한다. AgaJ93은 pH 7.0, 35℃에서 최대 활성을 나타냈고, Co²⁺ 이온에 의해 6배 이상의 활성증가를 보였다. AgaJ93의 N-terminal sequence 분석 결과, AgaJ93은 Cellulophaga sp. W5C의 내열성 endo-type β-아가레이즈 Aga2와 82%의 상동성을 보였으나, 두 효소의 생화학적 특성이 달랐다. 따라서, AgaJ93은 기존에 보고된 β-아가레이즈 들과는 다른 신규의 아가레이즈 일 것으로 예상된다.
