With an increase in the consumption of non-heated fresh food, foodborne shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) has emerged as one of the most problematic pathogens worldwide. Endolysin, a bacteriophage-derived lysis protein, is able to lyse the target bacteria without any special resistance, and thus has been garnering interest as a powerful antimicrobial agent. In this study, rV5-like phage endolysin targeting E. coli O157:H7, named as LysECP26, was identified and purified. This endolysin had a lysozyme-like catalytic domain, but differed markedly from the sequence of lambda phage endolysin. LysECP26 exhibited strong activity with a broad lytic spectrum against various gram-negative strains (29/29) and was relatively stable at a broad temperature range (4℃-55℃). The optimum temperature and pH ranges of LysECP26 were identified at 37℃-42℃ and pH 7-8, respectively. NaCl supplementation did not affect the lytic activity. Although LysECP26 was limited in that it could not pass the outer membrane, E. coli O157: H7 could be effectively controlled by adding ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and citric acid (1.44 and 1.14 log CFU/ml) within 30 min. Therefore, LysECP26 may serve as an effective biocontrol agent for gram-negative pathogens, including E. coli O157:H7.

To identify and isolate anticancer active compounds from Solanum nigrum, S. nigrum was extracted with MeOH and then fractionated with various organic solvents ($CH_2Cl_2$, EtOAc, n-BuOH, and $H_2O$). The cytotoxic effects of the MeOH extracts from S. nigrum and its organic solvent-soluble fractions were also tested in HT29 cells. All the MeOH extracts of S. nigrum and its organic-solvent extracts induced cytotoxicity in the HT29 cells. Among the extracts, $H_2O$ was the most effective. The $H_2O$ extract was purified further by repeated silica gel, Sephadex LH-20, Diaion HP- 20, and RP-18 column chromatography. An active anticancer compound, Des-N-26-methylene-dihydrotomatidine, was isolated with a molecular weight of 416 and a molecular formula of $C_{28}H_{48}O_2$. Analysis of the cytotoxic effects of Des-N-26-methylene-dihydrotomatidine on the HT29 cells compared to those of tomatine and tomatidine are similar in its structure, is higher than tomatidine above the 40 ${\mu}g/ml$ concentration, but lower than tomatine. This is the first study to describe the anticancer activity of Des-N-26-methylene-dihydrotomatidin, isolated from S. nigrum. Des-N-26- methylene-dihydrotomatidine seems to have potential as a natural bioactive compound.

$Al_2O_3-TiO_2$ composite oxide adsorbents which could be applied in high-temperature water were prepared by hydrolysis of aluminum and titanium alkoxide. The prepared adsorbents were calcined at $600{\sim}1400^{\circ}C$ and in order to investigate the various properties - the transition of crystals, thermal properties, and specific surface area, X-ray diffractometry, thermal analysis, FT-IR, SEM and BET method were employed. And the $Co^{2+}$ adsorption characteristics of these adsorbents in high-temperature water were investigated by batch adsorption experiment in a stirred autoclave. Since the adsorption of $Co^{2+}$ on the $Al_2O_3-TiO_2$ adsorbents was irreversible endothermic in the temperature range of $150{\sim}250^{\circ}C$, the standard enthalpy changes of 26, 43, and 80 mol% of $TiO_2$ on $Al_2O_3$ were in the range of $16.5{\sim}26.0kJ{\cdot}mol^{-1}$. The adsorbent of 26 mol% of $TiO_2$ on $Al_2O_3$ which was calcined at $600^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours showed the adsorption amount of $0.1674meq{\cdot}g^{-1}$ in the high temperature water at $250^{\circ}C$.

The geology of the Chulmasan area consists of Precambrain Sogeunri formation, granitic gneiss, foliated biotite granite, foliated mica granite, basic dyke and acidic dyke. REE mineralization in the area occurs at granitic gneiss and foliated mica granite. Minerals with minor amounts of REE and Th from granitic gneiss and foliated mica granite are zircon ($Y_2O_3$ 0.00~1.18 wt.%, $Gd_2O_3$ 0.00~0.59 wt.%, $Er_2O_3$ 0.00~0.22 wt.%, $Yb_2O_3$ 0.00~0.34 wt.%, $Lu_2O_3$ 0.00~0.48 wt.%, $ThO_2$ 0.00~0.33 wt.%), thorianite ($Nd_2O_3$ 0.00~0.24 wt.%, $Lu_2O_3$ 0.00~0.26 wt.%), berthierine ($La_2O_3$ 0.04~0.26 wt.%, $Nd_2O_3$ 0.00~0.20 wt.%, $Tb_2O_3$ 0.04~0.12 wt.%, $Dy_2O_3$ 0.17~0.26 wt.%, $Er_2O_3$ 0.33~0.44 wt.%, $Lu_2O_3$ 0.00~0.19 wt.%, $ThO_2$ 0.61~0.93 wt.%), chlorite ($La_2O_3$ 0.44~0.68 wt.%, $Ce_2O_3$ 0.12~0.13 wt.%, $Nd_2O_3$ 0.31~0.44 wt.%, $Eu_2O_3$ 0.03~0.08 wt.%, $Dy_2O_3$ 0.09~0.21 wt.%, $Ho_2O_3$ 0.04~0.14 wt.%, $Er_2O_3$ 0.18~0.32 wt.%, $Lu_2O_3$ 0.07~0.21 wt.%, $ThO_2$ 0.00~0.97 wt.%), biotite ($Nd_2O_3$ 0.02~0.08 wt.%, $Gd_2O_3$ 0.07~0.08 wt.%, $Tb_2O_3$ 0.02~0.07 wt.%, $Dy_2O_3$ 0.35~0.43 wt.%, $Ho_2O_3$ 0.15~0.26 wt.%, $Er_2O_3$ 0.24~0.28 wt.%, $Yb_2O_3$ 0.06~0.18 wt.%, $ThO_2$ 0.00~0.12 wt.%), orthoclase ($Dy_2O_3$ 0.05~0.12 wt.%, $Ho_2O_3$ 0.05~0.06 wt.%, $Er_2O_3$ 0.28 wt.%, $Yb_2O_3$ 0.06~0.12 wt.%) and plagioclase ($Ho_2O_3$ 0.01~0.03 wt.%, $Er_2O_3$ 0.10~0.27 wt.%, $ThO_2$ 0.11~0.13 wt.%). REE minerals (bastnaesite and fergusonite) were sealed fractures in mainly fledspar, mica, zircon, apatite and ilmenite. Therefore, bastnaesite and fergusonite from the Chulmasan area were formed from redissolution/reconcentration of REE-and Th-bearing minerals from granitic gneiss and foliated mica granite at late stage by several igneous activies and metamorphism.
