Nutritive values of green and black tea by-products and anti-nutritive activity of their tannins were evaluated in an in vitro rumen fermentation using various molecular weights of polyethylene glycols (PEG), polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) and polyvinyl polypyrrolidone as tannin-binding agents. Significant improvement in gas production by addition of PEG4000, 6000 and 20000 and PVP was observed only from black tea by-product, but not from green tea by-product. All tannin binding agents increased $NH_3$-N concentration from both green and black tea by-products in the fermentation medium, and the PEG6000 and 20000 showed relatively higher improvement in the $NH_3$-N concentration. The PEG6000 and 20000 also improved in vitro organic matter digestibility and metabolizable energy contents of both tea by-products. It was concluded that high molecular PEG would be suitable to assess the suppressive activity of tannins in tea by-products by in vitro fermentation. Higher responses to gas production and $NH_3$-N concentration from black tea by-product than green tea by-product due to PEG indicate that tannins in black tea by-product could suppress rumen fermentation more strongly than that in green tea by-product.

본 연구는 두 종류의 Polyethlene Glycol(PEG, Mw; 8000, 20000)을 cross-flow로 한외여과(막; 분획분자량 6000, 20000)함에 있어서 시간, 운전압력, 유입농도, 그리고 순환유량의 변화에 따라 투과유속과 제거율의 관계를 조사하는데 목적을 두고 있다. 실험진행에 있어서 운전압력은 7, 14, 28 psi의 3단계로, 순환유량은 1000 mL/min와 2000 mL/min 두 가지로, 그리고 유입농도도 100 mg/L과 1000 mg/L의 두가지로 하여 실행하였다. 투과유속은 PEG의 분자량과 농도가 작을수록 압력증가와 함께 증가하였으며, 겉보기제거율($R_o$)은 PEG의 분자량과 농도가 클수록 증가하였다. 그러나 압력이 증가되었을 때 $R_o$는 감소하였다. 일정한 압력하에서 PEG수용액의 투과유속과 $R_o$는 시간변화(8 h)에 관계없이 일정하였다. 순환유량의 변화에 있어서 투과유속에는 거의 영향이 없었으나, $R_o$는 순환유량이 큰 경우가 높게 나타났으며, 두 순환유량의 경우 모두 압력증가와 함께 $R_o$는 감소하였다. 한편, 투과유속과 조작압력의 거동을 분석하기 위해 사용된 투과도비($\alpha$)는 조작압력과 순환유량의 증가와 함께 증가하였으며, 모든 경우에서 1보다 작게 나타났기 때문에 농도분극현상을 분석할 수 있었다. 그리고 물질전달계수로부터 얻은 진제거율(R)은 압력증가와 함께 감소하였으며, 선유속과 PEG의 분자량이 클수록 높게 나타났다.

The quantitative effects of molecular weight and concentrations of two phase-forming polymers-polyethylene glycol and crude dextran on the two phase extractive ethanol fermentation were investigated using a Box-Wilson central composite protocol. The regression model obtained was used in order to determine optimum compositions of aqueous two phase system. In the aqueous two phase extractive ethanol fermentation of Kluyueromyces fragilis CBS 1555 with Jerusalem artichoke juice, it was found from the regression model that the variables influenlcing on ethanol fermentation were PEG concentration, time, Dx concentration, and PEG molecular weight strongly in order. The interaction of PEG concentration and PEG molecular weight was also found, and the effect of PEG concentration decreased with increase in molecular weight of PEG. The ethanol concentration incresed with increase in molecular weight of PEG, and with decrease in concentration of PEG. In conolusion, maximum concentration of ethanol produced was obtained at the following compositions; PEG MW 20000, Dx concentration ranged from 4% to 5%, and PEG concentration ranged from 3% to 7%.

The removal properties of Polyethylene glycols (PEGs) known as the important group of synthetic polymers of ethylene oxide were examined by the bio-reactor equipped with a mesh filter module. PEG-1000 and PEG-2000 were fairly removed on the basis of TOC, which were 75.1% and 51.6%, respectively. In the case of PEG-20000, the removal efficiency of TOC was less than 15.2% and the favorable acclimation of microbes was not obtained. It was suggested that this system could effectively maintain microbes for the biodegradation of low molecular weight of PEG and TOC removal was significantly influenced by PEG molecular weight.

여러 가지 조성의 PEG 20000jDx로 구성한 수성 이상계를 사용한 에탄올 추출발효실험을 통하여 K. fragilis에 의한 돼지감자 주스의 발효 특성을 초기 당농도 및 생성 알코올 농도의 함수로 규명하여 다음의 결과를 얻었다. 균체의 비증식속도 빛 에탄올 비생성속도는 PEG 및 Dx 농도가 낮을수록 증가하였다. 비증식속도는 조성에 무관하게 초기 당농도 $80g/\ell$에서 최대치를 보였고, 에탄올 비생성속도는 $120g/\ell$최대치를 보였다. 생성 알코올 농도에 의한 저해 영향은 비증식속도에 대하여 지수함수형 을, 에탄올 비생성속도에 대하여 쌍곡선함수형을 나타냈다. Dx 농도가 2.5~5% 범위에셔 PEG 농도 가 낮을수록 에탄올 저해 영향은 감소하였다. 총괄 에탄올 생산성은 초기 당농도가 증가할수록 높았으 며 생산성이 최대치에 도랄하는 소요시간도 당농도가 증가함에 따라 증가하였다. 시간별 에탄올 생산 속도는 초기 당농도 $160g/\ell$ 에서 가장 높은 값을 보 였다. 총괄 에탄올 생산성은 대조실험에 비하여 수 성이상계 추출발효를 통하여 1.2배 이상 증가하였고 초기 당농도가 높을수록 이상계 추출발효가 더욱 유리한 것으로 나타났다.

This study was undertaken with objective of optimizing the conditions of fermentation in an aqueous two-phase system which is composed of polyethylene glycol (PEG) 20000 and crude dextran (Dx). The data were obtained and analyzed using the Box-Wilson's experimental design protocol and the response surface methodology. To reach this end a multilinear polynomial regres- sion model was developed, which can be utilized for the purpose of optimizing the extractive fermentation. Optimum conditions for batch fermentation with aqueous two phase system were found to be at 4.2~5.4% PEG/3.2~4.2% Dx range. The composition of the center was 4.8% PEG/ 3.6% Dx. Optimum operating conditions for initial sugar concentration and fermentation time were approximately 160 g/l, and 21~22 hr, respectively. Fermentation in the aqueous two phase system composed of 5% PEG/4% Dx showed increase of 23% in ethanol concentration, of 9.5% in ethanol yield, and of 19% in ethanol productivity as compared to the case of fermentation of neat Jerusalem artichoke juice.

Cellular DNA in prokaryotes is organized in nucleic acid-protein self-assemblies referred to as the nucleoid. The physical forces responsible for its stability inside the poor solvent properties of the cytoplasm and their functional implications are not understood. Studies on the organisation and functioning of the cytosol of cells largely rely on experimental protocols performed in highly dilute solutions using biochemically purified molecules, which is not a reliable substitute for the situation existing in vivo. Our current research interest is focused on the characterization of biological and physical forces determining the compaction and phase separation of DNA in Escherichia coli cytoplasm. We have emphasized the effect of excluded volume in solutions with high macromolecular concentrations (macromolecular crowding) upon self-association patterns of reactions. The prokaryotic cytosol was simulated by addition of inert polymer polyethylene glycol (PEG) (average molecular weight 20000), as an agent which afterwards facilitates the self-association of macromolecules. Fluorescence microscopy was used for direct visualization of nucleoids in intact cells, after staining with DAPI (4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole dihydrochloride). Addition of the crowding agent PEG 20,000, in increasing concentrations generated progressively enhanced nucleoid compaction, the effect being stronger in the presence of 0.2 M NaCl and 5 mM MgCl$\_$2/. Under these conditions, the nucleoids were compacted to volumes of around 2 ㎛$\^$3/ or comparable sizes with that of living cells.

The effects of paste components on the properties of porous $TiO_2$ film electrodes prepared through screen-printing technique were investigated in order to efficiently control and optimize the main fabrication step of the dye-sensitized solar cells (DSC). The screen-printed porous $TiO_2$ films were characterized by ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and applied as a part of the DSC for the energy conversion. The fabricated DSC were evaluated by a solar simulator. The experimental results indicate that the microstructural characteristics of the printed films and the performances of the DSC are dependent on the paste compositions. As a result that the efficiency of DSC prepared by manufactured paste was 0.5%~1% higher than existing paste.
