In this work, an indigenous microbial consortium was obtained by selectively cultivating microbes using a long-aged petroleum-contaminated soil (Kuwait) containing recalcitrant petroleum hydrocarbons. The obtained microbial consortium was able to grow on and degrade the remaining petroleum hydrocarbons which could not have been utilized by the indigenous microbes in the original Kuwait soil. The following microbial community analysis using 16S rRNA gene sequencing suggested that the enhanced degradation of the remaining recalcitrant petroleum hydrocarbons by the novel microbial consortium may have been attributed to the selected bacterial populations belonging to Bacillus, Burkholderia, Sphingobacterium, Lachnospiraceae, Prevotella, Haemophilus, Pseudomonas, and Neisseria.

장기간 경유로 오염된 지역의 토양으로부터 분리한 세균 3Y는 석유계 탄화수소를 구성하는 다양한 화합물을 유일 탄소원으로하여 성장하였다. Sphingomonas sp. 3Y는 지방족 화합물은 물론이고 방향족 화합물을 이용해서 성장할 수 있었다. 지방족 화합물로서는 hexane과 hexadecane을 이용하여 성장하였고, 한편 방향족 화합물로서는 BTEX는 물론이고 phenol, biphenyl, 또는 phenanthrene을 유일 탄소원으로 이용하여 성장하였다. 본 균주는 indole과 catechol을 이용한 실험결과 방향족 탄화수소의 생분해 과정에서 맨 첫 단계 반응에 관여하는 효소인 aromatic ring dioxygenase 활성과 benzene 환을 깨는 효소인 meta-cleavage dioxygenase 활성을 나타내었다. Sphingomonas sp. 3Y의 16S rRNA 유전자의 염기서열 분석과 계통수 작성 결과 본 균주는 ${\alpha}$-Proteobacteria인 Sphingomonas속에 해당하였으며 지금까지 잘 알려진 석유계 탄화수소를 분해하는 Sphingomonas sp. 균주들과는 다른 cluster를 형성하였다. 다양한 석유계 탄화수소 성분을 이용하여 성장하는 Sphingomonas sp. 3Y는 유류로 오염된 토양의 복원에 유용하게 사용될 것으로 여겨지며 이 균주의 최적 분해 조건을 조사한다면 그 결과는 이 균주가 분리된 오염지역의 생물학적 분해를 최적화하는데 기여할 것이다.

We evaluated natural attenuation of petroleum hydrocarbons in a shallow aquifer using a modeling study. The studied shallow aquifer was severely contaminated with petroleum hydrocarbons, especially toluene, ethylbenzene and xylenes (i.e, TEX). The exact spill history was not known. Therefor we used a contaminant level in May 1999 (the first sampling date of our integrated study) as an initial contaminant concentration. we calibrated required transport parameters using the contamination levels obtained from groundwater analyses in September of 1999. For fate and transport of the petroleum contaminants, five case 2 with sorption and degradation. case 3 with sorption and degradation (half decay constant compared with case 2), case 4 with degradation but no sorption, and case 5 with sorption but no degradation. For sorption and degradation, a linear sorption isotherm and first order irreversible decay was assumed, respectively and no additional contamination source to groundwater is also assumed.

Cold environments, including polar and alpine regions, are colonized by a wide diversity of micro-organisms able to thrive at low temperatures. There is evidence of a wide range of metabolic activities in alpine cold ecosystems. Like polar microorganisms, alpine microorganisms playa key ecological role in their natural habitats for nutrient cycling, litter degradation, and many other processes. A number of studies have demonstrated the capacity of alpine microorganisms to degrade efficiently a wide range of hydrocarbons, including phenol, phenol-related compounds and petroleum hydrocarbons, and the feasibility of low-temperature bioremediation of European alpine soils by stimulating the degradation capacity of indigenous microorganisms has also been shown.

Concentrations of aliphatic hydrocarbons in water, particulate matter, and sediment phase were measured at five stations in Gyeongan River. Aliphatic hydrocarbons from $n-C_{10}$ to $n-C_{17}$ were detected in the water phase and they might be originated from not only biogenic hydrocarbons also petroleum hydrocarbon. $n-C_{17}$ aliphatic hydrocarbon and fatty acids were detected in the particulate matter phase. They might be originated from biological sources such as phytoplankton. Short alkane chains from $n-C_{10}$ to $n-C_{13}$ were detected in the sediment phase. They might be originated from sedimentation of biological hydrocarbons decomposed by bacteria or adsorption of petroleum hydrocarbon from the water phase.

Molecular compositions of two types of heavy oil were studied using positive atmospheric pressure photoionization (APPI) Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT-ICR MS). Vacuum gas oil (VGO) was generated from vacuum distillation of atmospheric residual oil (AR), and slurry oil (SLO) was generated from catalytic cracking of AR. These heavy oils have similar boiling point ranges in the range of 210-$650^{\circ}C$, but they showed different mass ranges and double-bond equivalent (DBE) distributions. Using DBE and carbon number distributions, aromatic ring distributions, and the extent of alkyl side chains were estimated. In addition to the main aromatic hydrocarbon compounds, those containing sulfur, nitrogen, and oxygen heteroatoms were identified using simple sample preparation and ultra-high mass resolution FT-ICR MS analysis. VGO is primarily composed of mono- and di-aromatic hydrocarbons as well as sulfur-containing hydrocarbons, whereas SLO contained mainly polyaromatic hydrocarbons and sulfur-containing hydrocarbons. Both heavy oils contain polyaromatic nitrogen components. SLO inludes shorter aromatic alkyl side chains than VGO. This study demonstrates that APPI FT-ICR MS is useful for molecular composition characterization of petroleum heavy oils obtained from different refining processes.

This study reviewed standard operation procedures for fractionation and analytical methods of total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) in north america and european countries to aid proper establishment of risk assessment protocols associated with TPH exposure in Korea. In current, the TPH fraction methods established by Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) and Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon Criteria Working Group (TPHCWG) are most frequently employed worldwide. Both methods were developed on the basis of direct exposure of TPH from soil, although the method by TPHCWG also took into account the mobility of TPH. Volatile and extractable fractions of petroleum hydrocarbons were analyzed either separately or together. TPH fractionation methods were evaluated based on conservative toxicity values considering the uncertainty of risk assessment in light of current standard protocol for analyzing soil contaminants in Korea, and it was concluded that the method developed by MassDEP is more appropriate.

Compositional characteristics and origin of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons(PAHs), which should be strongly regulated for environmental protection in the crude oils and petroleum products, have been investigated by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry(GC/MS). In the crude oils analyzed, two-rings compound(naphthalene) of PAHs was detected around $72.3\sim93.5%$, but five- or six-rings compound of PAHs was not detected. In the crude oils analyzed, the molecular ratio indices of Phe/Ant(phenanthrene/anthracene)>15, Fla/Pyr(fluoranthene/pyrene)<1, BaA/Chr(benzo (a)anthracene/chrysene)$\leq0.4$ could be effectively applied, and we found that the origin of PAHs was petrogenic sources. Total PAHs concentrations in the crude oils were increased with increasing API gravity and with decreasing sulfur contents of the analyzed crude oils. Five- or six-rings compound of PAHs were not included in ail petroleum products except bunker-C. Furthermore, the molecular ratio indices of Phe/Ant(phenanthrene/anthracene) vs. Fla/Pyr(fluoranthene/pyrene) could be effectively applied as the standard for the PAHs contamination criterion at the other Korean areas.

유류분해에 있어 혼합미생물제제의 효과를 평가하기 위해 미생물제제의 처리성능과 microcosm test를 수행하였다. 유류분해세균은 0.5% Arabian heavy crude oil을 유일 탄소원으로 제공된 최소배지를 이용한 연속적인 농후배양을 통하여 분리하였다. 우수 유류분해 미생물조합인 3종의 균주(BS1, BS2, BS4)는 MSM배지에서 5일의 배양기간 동안 지방족 탄화수소를 48.4%, 방향족 탄화수소를 30.5% 생분해하였다. 처리성능 및 microcosm test는 Arabian heavy crude oil을 첨가한 후 3가지 처리조건인 무처리, 무기영양염처리 그리고 무기영양염 및 혼합미생물처리조건에서 유류화합물의 생물분해에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 무기영양염처리구와 무기영양염 및 혼합미생물처리구에서 지방족 탄화수소의 분해율은 실험기간 동안 유의하게 향상되었으며 두 실험구간 유의한 차이는 관찰되지 않았다. 그러나 무기영양염 및 혼합미생물처리구에서 방향족 탄화수소의 생분해율은 무기영양염제만을 처리한 시험구와 비교하여 처리성능 시험의 경우 50% 그리고 microcosm test의 경우 13%를 향상시켰다. 본 연구의 결과로부터 혼합미생물제제는 실험실, 처리성능 및 microcosm test에서 지방족뿐만 아니라 방향족 탄화수소의 생물분해를 촉진하였다. 특히 혼합미생물제제는 방향족 탄화수소의 제거를 위한 생물정화기술의 적용에 있어 유용한 도구로 판단된다.

석유계총탄화수소(Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons, TPHs)는 해양에 존재하는 주요 오염물질이지만 현재 해양환경공정시험기준에는 TPHs 함량분석 기준이 해수를 제외한 해저퇴적물과 해양생물에 대해서는 등재되어 있지 않기 때문에 유류 오염 관리에서 투명성이 결여될 수 있다. 한편 토양의 TPHs 함량을 조사하는 시험방법은 토양오염공정시험기준에 포함되어있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 토양오염공정시험기준의 TPHs 시험방법을 근간으로 하여 실제 해양환경시료인 해저퇴적물과 해양생물 수 종의 시료를 대상으로 이의 적용성을 GC-MSD를 이용하여 정량적으로 검토하였다. 이 검토 결과를 바탕으로 분석 정도 관리를 위한 회수율 검정 방법을 새로이 제안하였고, 해저퇴적물에 포함된 황, 해양생물내의 지질, 그리고 다양한 극성물질들이 TPHs 정량에 미치는 영향을 제거하기 위한 정제과정을 추가하여 해양환경시료의 TPHs 함량시험방법을 새로 제안하였다.
