The relationship between pb, zn, cd, and the microbial biomass and activity were investigated in three public park soils of central and outer london. Variability with distance from the roadside and profile were studied. The heavey metal concentrations were the highest in hampstead heath and hyde park with high trafic density and the lowest in hainault. The highest concentrations of heavy metals were found adjacent to the roadside in the upper parts of the soil profile. Dehydrogenase activity, adenosine tri-phosphate and ergosterol contents used as indices of micrbial biomass and activity, were generally higher in hainadult, and also higher in the upper pats of the soil profile. Simple regression analysis indicated that the microbial biomass and activity were affected significantly by moisture content, water holding capacity, total organic carbon, total nitrogen, and organic mater rather than heavy metal concentration. Highest inputs of nitrogen and carbon were associated with high inputs of heavey metals, all three being derived from vehicle emissions adjacent to the road. The hyde park and hampstead heath microbial populations were able to respond to the c and n input positively by increase in biomass and activity, whereas the hainault populations could not. This rsult suggrsts adaptation in he former to heavy matals, but not in the latter.

사과박의 퇴비화에서 효소활성도가 퇴비의 안정성 혹은 부숙도를 나타내는 지표로서의 사용가능성이 있는지를 검증하기 위해 배양계수법에 의한 미생물군집의 천이와, 무형광상태로 기질에 결합되어있던 형광물질(MUF)이 분해되면서 띠게 되는 형광정도가 해당효소의 활성도에 비례하여 높아지는 것을 이용하여 ${\beta}$-glucosidase와 cellobiohydrolase 활성도를 측정하였다. 탄수화물의 분해에 관여하는 두 효소의 활성도는 시간변화에 따라 점점 낮아졌다. 미생물개체군과 효소활성도간의 상관성은 균류군을 제외하고는 없는 것으로 나타났고 또 균류가 높은 개체수를 나타내는 것으로 보아 균류가 사과박의 퇴비화에 지대한 역할을 담당할 것으로 사료된다.

Objective: This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of Ecklonia stolonifera (E. stolonifera) extract addition on in vitro ruminal fermentation characteristics, methanogenesis and microbial populations. Methods: One cannulated Holstein cow ($450{\pm}30kg$) consuming timothy hay and a commercial concentrate (60:40, w/w) twice daily (09:00 and 17:00) at 2% of body weight with free access to water and mineral block were used as rumen fluid donors. In vitro fermentation experiment, with timothy hay as substrate, was conducted for up to 72 h, with E. stolonifera extract added to achieve final concentration 1%, 3%, and 5% on timothy hay basis. Results: Administration of E. stolonifera extract to a ruminant fluid-artificial saliva mixture in vitro increased the total gas production. Unexpectedly, E. stolonifera extracts appeared to increase both methane emissions and hydrogen production, which is contrasts with previous observations with brown algae extracts used under in vitro fermentation conditions. Interestingly, real-time polymerase chain reaction indicated that as compared with the untreated control the ciliate-associated methanogen and Fibrobacter succinogenes populations decreased, whereas the Ruminococcus flavefaciens population increased as a result of E. stolonifera extract supplementation. Conclusion: E. stolonifera showed no detrimental effect on rumen fermentation characteristics and microbial population. Through these results E. stolonifera has potential as a viable feed supplement to ruminants.

무경운 유기농업과 경운 관행농업의 벼 생육 단계별 토양 미생물 개체수 변화를 분석하였다. 수확기 토양의 호기성 세균 개체수와 곰팡이 개체수는 무경운 유기농업이 경운 관행농업 보다 유의적으로 많았으며 담수 이전 그람음성 세균 개체수도 경운 관행농업 보다 유의적으로 많았다. 호기성 세균, 그람음성 세균 그리고 곰팡이 개체수는 담수 이후 급격하게 감소하였다. 그람음성 세균 개체수는 무경운 유기농업과 경운 관행농업 토양 미생물 생태를 가장 잘 구분할 수 있는 특성을 보였다.

Objective: To measure whether a microbial additive could effectively improve the fermentation quality of delayed-sealing (DS) silage, we studied the effects of inoculants of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and cellulase enzyme on microbial populations, ensiling characteristics, and spoilage loss of DS silage of Napier grass in Africa. Methods: Quick-sealing (QS) and DS silages were prepared with and without LAB (Lactobacillus plantarum) inoculant, cellulase enzymes, and their combination. The QS material was directly chopped and packed into a bunker silo. The DS material was packed into the silo with a delay of 24 h from harvest. Results: In the QS silage, LAB was dominant in the microbial population and produced large amounts of lactic acid. When the silage was treated with LAB and cellulase, the fermentation quality was improved. In the DS silage, aerobic bacteria and yeasts were the dominant microbes and all the silages were of poor quality. The yeast and mold counts in the DS silage were high, and they increased rapidly during aerobic exposure. As a result, the DS silages spoiled faster than the QS silages upon aerobic exposure. Conclusion: DS results in poor silage fermentation and aerobic deterioration. The microbial additive improved QS silage fermentation but was not effective for DS silage.

1997년 10월 21일에 발생한 지리산 국립공원의 산불 지역을 대상으로 토양 미생물의 분포 밀도 변화에 대해 연구하였다. 산불 발생 직후 표층, 지하 5cm, 10cm, 20cm, 30cm의 각 깊이에서 토양 미생물의 밀도를 조사하였다. 표층과 지하 5cm 깊이에 분포하는 세균의 밀도는 산불이 없었던 인근 지역의 $10^6$CFU/g soil 수준에 비해 $10^2$ CFU/g soil 수준으로 감소하였다. 방선균은 표층에서 완전히 소멸되었으며 지하 5cm 깊이에서는 대조구의 $10^6$CFU/g soil 수준에 비해 낮은 $10^3$ CFU/g soil 수준이었다. 곰팡이는 표층과 지하 5cm 깊이 모두에서 완전히 소멸된 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 지하 10cm 이상의 깊이에 분포하는 미생물들의 밀도는 전혀 감소되지 않았다. 또한 산불 발생 후 토양 미생물의 분포 회복 양상을 알아보기 위해 표층과 지하 5cm 깊이에서 경시적으로 밀도를 조사하였다. 산불 발생 2개월만에 미생물 밀도의 대부분은 크게 증가하여 산불이 없었던 인근 지역과 비슷하였으나토양 표층에 분포하는 방선균만은 산불 발생 4개월 후에도 여전히 대조구의 $10^6$ CFU/g soil 수준에 비해 낮은 $10^4$CFU/g soil 수준을 나타내었다.

Because of high population diversity in soil microbial communities, it is difficult to accurately assess the capability of biodegradation of toxicant by microbes in soil and sediment. Identifying biodegradative microorganisms is an important step in designing and analyzing soil bioremediation. To remove non-important noise information, it is necessary to selectively enrich genomes of biodegradative microorganisms fromnon-biodegradative populations. For this purpose, a stable isotope probing (SIP) technique was applied in selectively harvesting the genomes of biphenyl-utilizing bacteria from soil microbial communities. Since many biphenyl-using microorganisms are responsible for aerobic PCB degradation In soil and sediments, biphenyl-utilizing bacteria were chosen as the target organisms. In soil microcosms, 13C-biphenyl was added as a selective carbon source for biphenyl users, According to $13C-CO_2$ analysis by GC-MS, 13C-biphenyl mineralization was detected after a 7-day of incubation. The heavy portion of DNA(13C-DNA) was separated from the light portion of DNA (12C-DNA) using equilibrium density gradient ultracentrifuge. Bacterial community structure in the 13C-DNAsample was analyzed by t-RFLP (terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism) method. The t-RFLP result demonstates that the use of SIP efficiently and selectively enriched the genomes of biphenyl degrading bacteria from non-degradative microbes. Furthermore, the bacterial diversity of biphenyl degrading populations was small enough for environmental genomes tools (metagenomics and DNA microarrays) to be used to detect functional (biphenyl degradation) genes from soil microbial communities, which may provide a significant progress in assessing microbial capability of PCB bioremediation in soil and groundwater.

Combined treatment with gaseous and aqueous chlorine dioxide ($ClO_2$) was performed to improve the microbiological safety and quality of paprika. A single treatment of 50 ppmv $ClO_2$ gas for 30 min decreased the populations of Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Salmonella Typhimurium by 2.33 and 2.91 log CFU/g, respectively. In addition, a single treatment of aqueous $ClO_2$ (50 ppm) for 5 min decreased these populations by 1.86 and 1.37, respectively. The most dramatic effects were achieved by combined treatment of 50 ppm aqueous and gaseous $ClO_2$ for 30 min, which decreased populations of E. coli O157:H7 and S. Typhimurium by 4.11 and 3.61 log CFU/g, respectively. With regard to the qualities of paprika, no adverse effects were elicited by the combined treatment. Thus, combined treatment with aqueous and gaseous $ClO_2$ is a suitable approach that can be used to improve the microbial safety and quality of paprika.

We investigated the microbial populations and viable cell counts of Codonopsis lanceolata from uncultivated and cultivated soil in the suing. The microbial populations and viable cell counts from both types of soils were also investigated simultaneously. It had existed 10 more kinds of microorganisms in uncultivated than those in cultivated. The total viable cell counts of C. laneolata from uncultivated soil, especially in the upper zone, were 9.7$\times$10$^{6}$ CFU/g. However, the C. lanceolata from cultivated soil was 4.2$\times$10$^{6}$ CFU/g. (omitted)
