To understand the effects of physicochemical factors on nitrite transformation by microalgae, a lipid-rich Chlorella with high nitrite tolerance was cultured with 8 mmol/l sodium nitrite as sole nitrogen source under different conditions. The results showed that nitrite transformation was mainly dependent on the metabolic activities of algal cells rather than oxidation of nitrite by dissolved oxygen. Light intensity, temperature, pH, NaHCO₃ concentrations, and initial cell densities had significant effects on the rate of nitrite transformation. Single-factor experiments revealed that the optimum conditions for nitrite transformation were light intensity: 300 μmol/m²/s; temperature: 30℃ pH: 7-8; NaHCO₃ concentration: 2.0 g/l; and initial cell density: 0.15 g/l; and the highest nitrite transformation rate of 1.36 mmol/l/d was achieved. There was a positive correlation between nitrite transformation rate and the growth of Chlorella. The relationship between nitrite transformation rate (mg/l/d) and biomass productivity (g/l/d) could be described by the regression equation y = 61.3x (R² = 0.9665), meaning that 61.3 mg N element was assimilated by 1.0 g dry biomass on average, which indicated that the nitrite transformation is a process of consuming nitrite as nitrogen source by Chlorella. The results demonstrated that the Chlorella suspension was able to assimilate nitrite efficiently, which implied the feasibility of using flue gas for mass production of Chlorella without preliminary removal of NO_X.

본 연구에서는 Al₂O₃ 소결체 표면에 두 종류의 CaO-Al₂O₃-SiO₂(CAS) 계 유리 분말을 스프레이 코팅(spray coating) 후 소성 거동에 대하여 연구하였다; (1) Si-rich, SiO₂ 함량이 높은 유리, (2) Ca-rich, CaO 함량이 높은 유리. Ca-rich 유리는 점도가 약 10⁷~10⁹ poise일 때 유리 내부에 잔존하는 기포들의 심한 발포 현상이 일어났고 이에 따라 소결 방해에 따른 수축율이 감소하였으며 조도는 증가하였다. 반면, Si-rich 유리의 경우, 1000℃ 이하에서는 Ca-rich와 같은 심각한 발포현상은 없었으나, 1200℃에서 밀도가 낮은 크리스토발라이트(cristobalite) 결정 발생과 함께 기포의 재발포 현상이 일어나 수축율이 감소하였으며 조도가 증가하는 이상 소성 거동을 보였다. 이는 저밀도 크리스토발라이트 결정 생성으로 인한 유리질의 칼슘 함량 증가에 의한 점도 감소로 생각된다. 따라서 CAS계 유리의 경우 저온 소성에서는 발포 현상에 의한 표면조도 상승과 소결 방해를 고려해야 하며, 특히 SiO₂ 함량이 높을 경우, 고온에서 결정화에 의한 이상 발포 현상도 생각해야 한다.

The detection of antibiotics in treated wastewater is a global concern as it enters water bodies and causes the development of antibiotic resistance genes in humans and marine life. The study specifically aims to explore the potential of ferrate (VI) in eliminating tetracycline (TCL). The degradation of TCL is optimized with parametric studies, viz., the effect of pH and concentration, which provide insights into TCL elimination. The increase in pH (from 7.0 to 10.0) favors the percentage removal of TCL; however, the increase in TCL concentrations from 0.02 to 0.3 mmol/L caused a decrease in percentage TCL removal from 97.4 to 29.1%, respectively, at pH 10.0. The time-dependent elimination of TCL using ferrate (VI) followed pseudosecond-order rate kinetics, and an apparent rate constant (kapp) was found at 1978.8 L² /mol² /min. Coexisting ions, i.e., NaNO₃, Na₂HPO₄, NaCl, and oxalic acid, negligibly affect the oxidation of TCL by ferrate (VI). However, EDTA and glycine significantly inhibited the elimination of TCL using ferrate (VI). The mineralization of TCL using ferrate (VI) was favored at higher pH, and it increased from 18.57 to 32.52% when the solution pH increased from pH 7.0 to 10.0. Additionally, the real water samples containing a relatively high level of inorganic carbon spiked with TCL revealed that ferrate (VI) performance in the removal of TCL was unaffected, which further inferred the potential of ferrate (VI) in real implications.

This study developed probabilistic models to determine the initiation time of growth of Pseudomonas spp. in combinations with $NaNO_2$ and NaCl concentrations during storage at different temperatures. The combination of 8 NaCl concentrations (0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25, 1.5, and 1.75%) and 9 $NaNO_2$ concentrations (0, 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90, 105, and 120 ppm) were prepared in a nutrient broth. The medium was placed in the wells of 96-well microtiter plates, followed by inoculation of a five-strain mixture of Pseudomonas in each well. All microtiter plates were incubated at 4, 7, 10, 12, and $15^{\circ}C$ for 528, 504, 504, 360 and 144 h, respectively. Growth (growth initiation; GI) or no growth was then determined by turbidity every 24 h. These growth response data were analyzed by a logistic regression to produce growth/no growth interface of Pseudomonas spp. and to calculate GI time. NaCl and $NaNO_2$ were significantly effective (p<0.05) on inhibiting Pseudomonas spp. growth when stored at $4-12^{\circ}C$. The developed model showed that at lower NaCl concentration, higher $NaNO_2$ level was required to inhibit Pseudomonas growth at $4-12^{\circ}C$. However, at $15^{\circ}C$, there was no significant effect of NaCl and $NaNO_2$. The model overestimated GI times by $58.2{\pm}17.5$ to $79.4{\pm}11%$. These results indicate that the probabilistic models developed in this study should be useful in calculating the GI times of Pseudomonas spp. in combination with NaCl and $NaNO_2$ concentrations, considering the over-prediction percentage.

본 연구는 난방 개시 온도와 CO₂ 시비의 효율을 알아보기 위해 수행되었다. 난방 개시 온도 실험은 9℃, 12℃, 15℃로 구분하여 목표 온도보다 낮아지면 전기 온열기구가 작동하게 하였다. CO₂ 시비 농도 실험은 액화탄산가스를 이용하여 무처리, 500µmol·mol^-1, 800µmol·mol^-1으로 7시부터 12시까지 처리하였다. 생육 특성으로 초장, 경경, 엽수, 엽면적, 생체중, 건물중을 조사하였고, 200g 넘는 과실만을 대상으로 수량을 조사하여 경제성 분석을 하였다. 상위엽에 대한 광합성 측정을 하여 처리에 따른 포화점을 산출하였다. 애호박의 광포화점은 587µmol·m^-2·s^-1이였고 CO₂ 포화점은 702µmol·mol^-1 이였다. CO₂에 의한 A_max값은 9℃, 12℃, 15℃, 500µmol·mol^-1, 800µmol·mol^-1 순으로 13.4, 17.8, 17.2, 19.6, 17.5µmol CO₂·m^-2·s^-1이었다. 온도 실험에서 9℃는 생육과 착과가 정상적으로 이루어지지 않았다. 12℃와 15℃는 9℃보다 높았지만 생육과 생산에서 유의미한 차이를 보이지 않았다. CO₂ 농도 실험은 생육에서 처리구간 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았지만 800µmol·mol^-1의 생산성이 가장 좋았다. 이상의 결과를 종합적으로 보면 난방 개시 온도는 15℃인 것은 작물 생육과 생산에는 좋았지만 12℃와 유의적인 차이가 없어 경제적 측면에서 난방 개시 온도를 12℃로 설정하는 것이 좋은 것으로 보이며, CO₂ 시비 농도 800µmol·mol^-1를 유지하는 것이 생산량 증가에 효과적이었다.

The SCO0284 gene of Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) is predicted to encode an α-galactosidase (680 amino acids) belonging to glycoside hydrolase family 27. In this study, the SCO0284 coding region was cloned and overexpressed in Streptomyces lividans TK24. The mature form of SCO0284 (641 amino acids, 68 kDa) was purified from culture broth by gel filtration chromatography, with 83.3-fold purification and a yield of 11.2%. Purified SCO0284 showed strong activity against p-nitrophenyl-α-D-galactopyranoside, melibiose, raffinose, and stachyose, and no activity toward lactose, agar (galactan), and neoagarooligosaccharides, indicating that it is an α-galactosidase. Optimal enzyme activity was observed at 40℃ and pH 7.0. The addition of metal ions or EDTA did not affect the enzyme activity, indicating that no metal cofactor is required. The kinetic parameters V_max and K_m for p-nitrophenyl-α-D-galactopyranoside were 1.6 mg/ml (0.0053 M) and 71.4 U/mg, respectively. Thin-layer chromatography and mass spectrometry analysis of the hydrolyzed products of melibiose, raffinose, and stachyose showed perfect matches with the masses of the sodium adducts of the hydrolyzed products, galactose (M+Na, 203), melibiose (M+Na, 365), and raffinose (M+Na, 527), respectively, indicating that it specifically cleaves the α-1,6-glycosidic bond of the substrate, releasing the terminal D-galactose.

This study developed probabilistic models to predict Salmonella growth in processed meat products formulated with varying concentrations of NaCl and $NaNO_2$. A five-strain mixture of Salmonella was inoculated in nutrient broth supplemented with NaCl (0%, 0.25%, 0.5%, 0.75%, 0.5%, 1.0%, 1.25%, and 1.75%) and $NaNO_2$ (0, 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90, 105, and 120 ppm). The inoculated samples were then incubated under aerobic and anaerobic conditions at $4^{\circ}C$, $7^{\circ}C$, $10^{\circ}C$, $12^{\circ}C$, and $15^{\circ}C$ for up to 60 days. Growth (assigned the value of 1) or no growth (assigned the value of 0) for each combination was evaluated by turbidity. These growth response data were analyzed with a logistic regression to evaluate the effect of NaCl and $NaNO_2$ on Salmonella growth. The results from the developed model were compared to the observed data obtained from the frankfurters to evaluate the performance of the model. Results from the developed model showed that a single application of $NaNO_2$ at low concentrations did not inhibit Salmonella growth, whereas NaCl significantly (p<0.05) inhibited Salmonella growth at $10^{\circ}C$, $12^{\circ}C$, and $15^{\circ}C$, regardless of the presence of oxygen. At $4^{\circ}C$ and $7^{\circ}C$, Salmonella growth was not observed in either aerobic or anaerobic conditions. When $NaNO_2$ was combined with NaCl, the probability of Salmonella growth decreased. The validation value confirmed that the performance of the developed model was appropriate. This study indicates that the developed probabilistic models should be useful for describing the combinational effect of $NaNO_2$ and NaCl on inhibiting Salmonella growth in processed meat products.

본 연구에서는 메탄올과 이산화탄소를 이용한 디메틸카보네이트(dimethyl carbonate, 이하 DMC) 의 직접 합성에서 수율 증대를 위하여 주입된 다양한 첨가제의 영향을 살펴보았다. 그리고 첨가제의 주입과 동시에 반응조건을 달리하여 얻어진 반응특성을 살펴봄으로써 필요한 반응조건의 최적화를 살펴보았다. Citric complexation method에 의해 제조된 복합금속산화물 $Ce_{1-x}Zr_xO_2$ 촉매들 가운데, 가장 높은 성능을 지니고 있는 $Ce_{0.8}Zr_{0.2}O_2$ 촉매가 DMC 합성에서 사용되었다. 황산염(sulfate) 계열, 질산염(nitrate) 계열, 인산염(phosphate) 계열 및 제올라이트 등의 다양한 첨가제가 사용된 가운데 DMC 생성량의 변화가 관찰되었다. 그 결과, $-SO_4$를 지니는 황산염 계열의 $K_2SO_4$ 및 $Na_2SO_4$ 등의 첨가제가 $Ce_{0.8}Zr_{0.2}O_2$ 촉매와 함께 사용됨으로써 가장 높은 DMC 생성량을 얻었다. 기존의 첨가제 없이 $Ce_{0.8}Zr_{0.2}O_2$ 촉매가 사용된 경우, 약 0.6 mmol의 DMC 생성량을 얻을 수 있었으며, $K_2SO_4$ 첨가제가 동시에 주입된 경우 가장 높은 0.91 mmol의 향상된 DMC 생성량을 얻었다.
