Sorghum bicolor is considered as copper-tolerant species. The present study was conducted to understand the copper tolerance mechanism in Sorghum seedling roots. Morphological and effects of Cu on other interacting ions were observed prominently in the roots when the plants were subjected to different concentrations (0, 50, and $100{\mu}M$) of $CuSO_4$. However, the morphological characteristics were reduced by Cu stress, and the most significant growth inhibition was observed in plants treated with the highest concentration of $Cu^{2+}$ ions ($100{\mu}M$). In the proteome analysis, high-throughput two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis coupled with MALDI-TOF-TOF mass spectrometry was performed to explore the molecular responses of Cu-induced sorghum seedling roots. In two-dimensional silver-stained gels, a total of 422 differentially expressed proteins (${\geq}1.5-fold$) were identified using Progenesis SameSpot software. A total of 21 protein spots (${\geq}1.5-fold$) from Cu-induced sorghum roots were analyzed by mass spectrometry. Of the 21 differentially expressed protein spots from Cu-induced sorghum roots, a total of 10 proteins were up-regulated, and 11 proteins were down-regulated. The abundance of the most identified protein species from the roots that function in stress response and metabolism was significantly enhanced, while protein species involved in transcription and regulation were severely reduced. The results obtained from the present study may provide insights into the tolerance mechanism of seedling roots in Sorghum.

Chromium (Cr) toxicity is hazardous to the seed germination, growth, and development of plants. ${\gamma}$-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) is a non-protein amino acid and is involved in stress tolerance in plants. To investigate the effects of GABA in alleviating Cr toxicity, we treated eight-d-old mustard (Brassica juncea L.) seedlings with Cr (0.15 mM and 0.3 mM $K_2CrO_4$, 5 days) alone and in combination with GABA ($125{\mu}M$) in a semi-hydroponic medium. The roots and shoots of the seedlings accumulated Cr in a dose-dependent manner, which led to an increase in oxidative damage [lipid peroxidation; hydrogen peroxide ($H_2O_2$) content; superoxide ($O{_2}^{{\cdot}-}$) generation; lipoxygenase (LOX) activity], MG content, and disrupted antioxidant defense and glyoxalase systems. Chromium stress also reduced growth, leaf relative water content (RWC), and chlorophyll (chl) content but increased phytochelatin (PC) and proline (Pro) content. Furthermore, supplementing the Cr-treated seedlings with GABA reduced Cr uptake and upregulated the non-enzymatic antioxidants (ascorbate, AsA; glutathione, GSH) and the activities of the enzymatic antioxidants including ascorbate peroxidase (APX), monodehydroascorbate reductase (MDHAR), dehydroascorbate reductase (DHAR), glutathione reductase (GR), glutathione peroxidase (GPX), superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glyoxalase I (Gly I), and glyoxalase II (Gly II), and finally reduced oxidative damage. Adding GABA also increased leaf RWC and chl content, decreased Pro and PC content, and restored plant growth. These findings shed light on the effect of GABA in improving the physiological mechanisms of mustard seedlings in response to Cr stress.

완전제어형 식물공장하에서 인공광원에 따른 결구상추의 생육, 잎끝마름증과 배양액속의 무기이온 변화를 검토하고자 본 실험을 수행하였다. 인공광원에 따른 지상부 생체중과 건물중간의 유의적인 차이는 없었으나 전반적인 생육은 형광등에서 가장 낮게 나타났다. 인공광원중 생육과 램프의 경제성을 고려해 볼때, 고압나트륨등을 사용하는 것이 좋을 것으로 생각된다. 인공광원에 따른 잎끝마름증 발생시기는 정식 후 14일에 처음 발생하였으며, 발생부위는 자엽으로 부터 9∼10번째 잎이었다. 발생원인으로는 빠른 생장율과 상추의 칼륨흡수로 추정되었다. 그리고 인공광원에 따라 배양액속의 무기 성분 변화를 보면, 세처리구 모두 칼슘. 마그네슘, 구리와 아연 함량 등은 축적되는 경향을 보였으며, 전질소, 인, 철과 망간 함량등은 안정적이었다.

We measured the concentrations of various geochemical parameters [grain size, ignition loss (IL), chemical oxygen demand (COD), acid volatile sulfide (AVS), and trace metals (Fe, Cu, Cd, Pb, Cr, Mn, As, Zn, and Hg)] in the surface sediments of two intertidal oyster Crassostrea gigas farming areas (Iwon and Mongsan tidal flats) on the Taean Peninsula, Korea, to evaluate the pollution level of organic matter and trace metals in sediment. The intertidal sediments in the study region comprise mostly sand with a mean grain size of 2.5-3.5 Ø. The concentrations of IL, COD, AVS, and trace metals in the sediment of two study regions were either similar or lower in oyster farming areas relative to non-farming areas, apparently due to biological uptake or physical and biological sediment reworking. Based on the results for the pollution evaluation of organic matter and trace metals derived from sediment quality guidelines, enrichment factor, and geoaccumulation index, our results suggest that the sediment in these two intertidal oyster farming regions is not polluted by organic matter and trace metals.

LB10522 is a new parenteral broad spectrum cephalosporin with a catechol moiety at C-7 position of beta-lactam ring. This compound can utilize tonB-dependent iron transp ort system in addition to porin proteins to enter bacterial periplasmic space and access to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) which are the lethal targets of ${\beta}$-lactam antibiotics. The chelating activity of LB10522 to metal iron was measured by spectrophotometrically scanning the absorbance from 200 to 900nm. When $FeCl_3$ was added, optical density was increased between 450 and 800nm. LB10522 was more active against gram-negative strains in iron-depleted media than in iron-replete media. This is due to the increased expression of iron transport channels in iron-depleted condition. LB10522 showed a similar activity against E. coli DC2 (permeability mutant) and E. coli DCO (wild type strain) in both iron-depleted and iron-replete media, indicating a minimal permeaility barrier for LB10522 uptake. LB10522 had high affinities to PBP 3 and PBP 1A, 1B of E. coli. By blocking these proteins, LB10522 caused inhibition of cell division and the eventual death of cells. This result was correlated well with the morphological changes in E. coli exposed to LB10522. Although the in vitro MIC of LB10522 against P. aeruginosa 1912E mutant (tonB) was 8-times higher than that of the P. aeruginosa 1912E parent strain, LB10522 showed a similar in vivo protection efficacy against both strains in the mouse systemic infection model. This result suggested that tonB mutant, which requires a high level of iron for normal growth, might have a difficulty in surviving in their host with an iron-limited environment.

우리나라 인근 해역에서 가장 쉽게 채취할 수 있는 해조류 중의 하나인 S. sagamianum을 이용한 Pb 및 Cr의 생체흡착 실험을 수행하였다. Pb 및 Cr은 15분 안에 흡착 평형에 도달하였으며, 평형흡착량은 각각 224.5mg Pb/g biomass 및 77.5mg Cr/g bio-mass로서 Pb의 흡착량이 Cr보다 약 3배정도 높았다. 또한 pH가 감소할수록 Pb 및 Cr의 홉착량은 감소하였으나 Pb가 상대적으로 많은 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. Pb, Cr, Cu 및 Cd 혼합용액에서는 Pb>Cu>Cr>Cd 순으로 흡착하였으며, Pb 및 Cr 이온이동량 존재하는 용액에서의 흡착은 거의 1 : 1로 흡착이 이루어졌다. Pb 및 Cr흡착 후에 0.1 M HCl, 0.1 M $HNO_3$ 및 0.1 M EDTA으로 탈착 실험을 수행하니, Pb는 의 경우에는 $95\%$이상 탈착되었으나 Cr의 경우 S. sagamianum와의 결합력이 상대적으로 강하여 탈착율이 $51\%$이하로 낮았다.

Perfluorooctanoic acid(PFOA) was one of widely used per- and poly substances(PFAS) in the industrial field and its concentration in the surface and groundwater was found with relatively high concentration compared to other PFAS. Since various processes have been introduced to remove the PFOA, adsorption using GAC is well known as a useful and effective process in water and wastewater treatment. Surface modification for GAC was carried out using Cu and Fe to enhance the adsorption capacity and four different adsorbents, such as GAC-Cu, GAC-Fe, GAC-Cu(OH)₂, GAC-Fe(OH)₃ were prepared and compared with GAC. According to SEM-EDS, the increase of Cu or Fe was confirmed after surface modification and higher weight was observed for Cu and Fe hydroxide(GAC-Cu(OH)₂ and GAC-Fe(OH)₃, respectively). BET analysis showed that the surface modification reduced specific surface area and total pore volumes. The highest removal efficiency(71.4%) was obtained in GAC-Cu which is improved by 17.9% whereas the use of Fe showed lower removal efficiency compared to GAC. PFOA removal was decreased with increase of solution pH indicating electrostatic interaction governs at low pH and its effect was decreased when the point of zero charges(pzc) was negatively increased with an increase of pH. The enhanced removal of PFOA was clearly observed in solution pH 7, confirming the Cu in the surface of GAC plays a role on the PFOA adsorption. The maximum uptake was calculated as 257 and 345 ㎍/g for GAC and GAC-Cu using Langmuir isotherm. 40% and 80% of removal were accomplished within 1 h and 48 h. According to R², only the linear pseudo-second-order(pso) kinetic model showed 0.98 whereas the others obtained less than 0.870.

벼 유묘에 의 한 $Mn^{+2}$(Mn-SOD의 cofactor)의 흡수는 유묘조직중 SOD 활성을 증가시킴과 아울러 유묘의 냉해저항성을 현저히 향상시키는 결과를 보였으며, SOD 활성 증가정도와 냉해 저 항성 향상정도간에는 정의 상관관계가 있었다. 이에 반하여, Fe-SOD와 Cu/Zn-SOD의 cofactor들인 $Fe^{+3},\;Cu^{+2},$ 및 $Zn^{+2}$의 흡수는 조직내 SOD활성이나 식물의 냉해저항성에 어떤 유의성 있는 영향도 미치지 않았다. 이러한 결과들이 시사하는 바는 아마도 superoxide에 의해 유도되고 $Mn^{+2}$의 존재에 의해 활성화된 Mn-SOD가 (최소한 벼의 경우에는) 저온 스트레스에 대항하는 생체방어 시스템의 중요한 子성분일 것이라는 점이다. 어느정도의 냉해억제효과가 있다고 인정된 Abscisic acid의 처리도 벼 유묘조직의 SOD 활성을 증가시켰다. 이 관찰결과도 식물의 냉해 유발상황 하에서 세포내 SOD가 담당하는 중요한 생체방어 역할을 부각시키는 또 하나의 정보를 제공한 것이다.
