The bacterial strains, which utilizes 2,4,4'-trichloro-2'-hydroxydiphenyl ether(TCHDPE) as a sole carbon source, were isolated by selective enrichment culture from soil samples of industrial waste deposits. The bacterium that showed the highestt biodegradation activity was designated as EL-O47R The isolated strain EL-O47R was Identified as the genus Pseudomonas from the results of morphological, cultural, and biochemical tests. The optimum conditions of medium for the growth and the degradation of TCHDPE were TCHDPE 500 ppm, (NH4)2SO4 0.1% as the nitrogen source, initial pH 7.0±0.1, and 37℃, respectively. In this conditions, the regradation rate of TCHDPE was about 97%. Pseudomonas sp. EL-O47R was tested for resistance to several metal compounds and antibiotics. Pseudomonas sp. EL-O47R was moderately grown to Cd(NO3)2, ZnCl2, AgSO4, CuSO4 and HgCl2. This strain was sensitive to rifampicin and kanamycln but resistant to ampicillin, penicillin, tetracyclin and chloramphenlcol. Pseudomonas sp. EL-O47R was grown structurally related com- pounds and potential metabolites of TCHDPE, and has the stability on TCHDPE biodegradation.

복합미생물제재를 사용하여 인공폐수에서 염소화 페놀화합물의 생물학적 분해를 조사하기 위하여 다양한 염소화 페놀화합물로 오염된 토양에서 8종의 미생물을 분리하였다. 복합미생물제재의 주된 미생물인 Pseudomonas sp. BM은 Gram-negative, catalase- 그리고 oxidase-positive, rod 형이며 $41^{\circ}C$ 이상에서는 성장하지 않았다. Pseudomonas sp. BM은 단일 탄소원으로서의 PCP(pentachlorophenol) 500mg/l의 농도로 첨가된 최소배지에서 배양 3일 후에 99%의 분해효율을 보였다. 복합미생물제재에 여러 가지 종류의 유기탄소 및 질소원을 첨가한 후 PCP의 분해효율을 관찰하였을 때 큰 차이를 나타내지 못하였다. Pseudomonas sp. BM은 pH 5에서 8까지 넓은 적용범위를 가지고 있으나 pH 7에서 가장 좋은 활성을 나타내었다. 종류가 다른 염소화 페놀을 함유한 인공폐수에서 염소화 페놀화합물의 분해시험은 7일간 배양후 최저 분해효율 73%(2,4-DCP)에서 최대 96%(2-CP)까지 비교적 높은 활성을 보였다. 연속배양 실험에서, 활성 슬러지와 복합미생물제재를 첨가한 것의 PCP 분해효율을 비교해 보았을 때 활성 슬러지만을 첨가한 대조구에 비해 복합미생물제재를 첨가하였을 때는 약 2배의 효과를 나타내었다. 이와 같은 결과는 다양한 염소화 페놀이 함유된 폐수에 복합미생물제재의 적용이 가능함을 나타낸다.

본 연구에 사용한 Pseudomonas sp. BCNU 154는 Gram 음성 toluene 내성세균으로 형태적${\cdot}$생리적 특성을 비교하여 보았을 때 Pseudomonas 속임이 확인되었다. 폭넓은 유기용매에 대한 내성한계를 가지고 있으며 Pseudomonas sp. BCNU 154 toluene 내성균주는 Modified Luria-Bertani(LBM) 배지에서 잘 자랐으며, $30^{\circ}C$에서 최적의 생육상태를 나타내었다. 최적 pH는 6에서 7로 나타났으며 1%의 toluene을 첨가하였을 경우에는 pH 2에서 8에 이르는 넓은 pH대에서 잘 자랐으며, cumene은 pH 6에서 10까지의 범위에서 좋은 성장을 보였다. Pseudomonas sp. BCNU 154 균주의 toluene, ethylbenzene, ${\rho}$ -xylene, cumene분해는 $1g/{\ell}$의 농도로 첨가시 toluene의 경우 97%이상이 분해되었고, ${\rho}$은 92%, ethylbenzene은 80%이며, cumene은 90% 이상이 분해되는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 각 유기용매에 대해 대체로 12시간 내에 90%이상의 분해가 이루어졌으며, ethylbenzene의 경우에는 성장곡선과 마찬가지로 일정시간이 지난 후 성장과 분해가 둔화되다가 다시 성장과 분해가 일어나는 현상을 보였다.

Pseudomonas sp. 세균주와 Zoogloea sp. 한 균주를 토양에서 분리하였으며 이들 균주는 furfural로부터 전환된 2-furoic acid와 primary amine group을 포함한 어떤 물질을 매개체로 이용함으로서 상호간에 procooperation과 Synergism을 보여 주었다. 이에 의하여 furfural이 완전히 산화됨과 동시에 탈색이 되는데 그 효과는 단일균주보다 혼합배양이 보다 효고적이었다.

Anthracene is a PAH that is not readily degraded, plus its degradation mechanism is still not clear. Thus, two strains of anthracene-degrading bacteria were isolated from long-term petroleum-polluted soil and identified as Sphingomonas sp. 12A and Pseudomonas sp. 12B by a 16S rRNA sequence analysis. To further enhance the anthracene-degrading ability of the two strains, the biosurfactants produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa $W_3$ were used, which were characterized as rhamnolipids. It was found that these rhamnolipids dramatically increased the solubility of anthracene, and a reverse-phase HPLC assay showed that the anthracene degradation percentage after 18 days with Pseudomonas sp. 12B was significantly enhanced from 34% to 52%. Interestingly, their effect on the degradation by Sphingomonas sp. 12A was much less, from 35% to 39%. Further study revealed that Sphingomonas sp. 12A also degraded the rhamnolipids, which may have hampered the effect of the rhamnolipids on the anthracene degradation.

Enrichment techniques led to the isolation of a Pseudomonas sp. strain P2 from municipal waste-contaminated soil sample, which could utilize different isomers of a commercial mixture of 4-nonylphenol when grown in the presence of phenol. The isolate was identified as Pseudomonas sp., based on the morphological, nutritional, and biochemical characteristics and 16S rDNA sequence analysis. The ${\beta}$-ketoadipate pathway was found to be involved in the degradation of phenol by Pseudomonas sp. strain P2. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometric analysis of the culture media indicated degradation of various major isomers of 4-nonylphenol in the range of 29-50%. However, the selected ion monitoring mode of analysis of biodegraded products of 4-nonylphenol indicated the absence of any aromatic compounds other than those of the isomers of 4-nonylphenol. Moreover, Pseudomonas sp. strain P2 was incapable of utilizing various alkanes individually as sole carbon source, whereas the degradation of 4-nonylphenol was observed only when the test organism was induced with phenol, suggesting that the degradation of 4-nonylphenol was possibly initiated from the phenolic moiety of the molecule, but not from the alkyl side-chain.

해양세균 Pseudomonas sp. CHCS-2는 배양과정 중에 포도당 첨가에 의해 생물유화제의생산이 증가되었으며, 196시간 배양시 원유에 포함되어 있는 paraffine계 탄화수소 중에서 $_nC_{12}~_nC_{22}$까지 범위의 carbonchain이 거의 대부분 분해됨을 알 수 있었다. chloroform : metahnol = 1 : 1(V/V)로 추출하여 얻은 8.5g/L의 crude 생물 유화제를, Amberlite XAD-7, Sepharose CL-4B, DEAE-sepharose CL-6B 수지를 사용하여 정제한 결과 최종적으로 0.21g/L의 정제된 생물유화제를 얻었다. 본 균주가 생산하는 생물유화제는 단백질과 octadecanoic acid가 결합된 분자량이 약 67kDa인 lipoprotein으로 확인되었으며, 정재된 생물유화제중 단백질성분만을 분리하여 N-말단 아미노산배열을 분석한 결과, Ser-Val-He-Asn-Thr-Asn-IIe-Thr-X-Met-Ile-Gly-Gin-Gln-의 배열을 가지는 것으로 확인되었다. 이는 기존에 보고된 lipoproten과 다른 형태의 것으로, 본 균주가 생산하는 생물유화제의 경우 구성성분, 분자량 등을 고려해 볼 때 새로운 형태의 lipoprotein 계열 생물유화제로 추정된다.

Polylactic acid (PLA) has been highlighted as an alternative renewable polymer for the replacement of petroleum-based plastic materials, and is considered to be biodegradable. On the other hand, the biodegradation of PLA by terminal degraders, such as microorganisms, requires a lengthy period in the natural environment, and its mechanism is not completely understood. PLA biodegradation studies have been conducted using mainly undefined mixed cultures, but only a few bacterial strains have been isolated and examined. For further characterization of PLA biodegradation, in this study, the PLA-degrading bacteria from digester sludge were isolated and identified using a polymer film-based screening method. The enrichment of sludge on PLA granules was conducted with the serial transference of a subculture into fresh media for 40 days, and the attached biofilm was inoculated on a PLA film on an agar plate. 3D optical microscopy showed that the isolates physically degraded the PLA film due to bacterial degradation. 16S rRNA gene sequencing identified the microbial colonies to be Pseudomonas sp. MYK1 and Bacillus sp. MYK2. The two isolates exhibited significantly higher specific gas production rates from PLA biodegradation compared with that of the initial sludge inoculum.

Metal ions contamination may inhibit microorganisms involved in the biodegradation of organic compounds and affect biodegradation rates. Therefore, it is likely that bioremediation of xenobiotics-contaminated soils and waste will require inoculation with efficient biodegrading microbial communities, with capabilities of being resistant to heavy metals as well. Two different transconjugants (Pseudomonas sp. KMl2TC and P. aeruginosa TC) were constructed by conjugation experiments. Results on MIC, induction and growth inhibition strongly indicated that arsenic-resistant plasmid, pKM20, could be mobilized, and the newly acquired phenotype of pKM20 was not only expressed but also well regulated, resulting in newly acquired resistances to $As^{5+},\;As^{3+},\;and\;Sb^{3+} in\;addition\;to\;Cd^{2+},\;Zn^{2+},\;and\;Hg^{2+}$. The phenol- degradation efficiencies of Pseudomonas sp. KMl2TC were maintained significantly even at high heavy metal concentrations at which these efficiencies of P. aeruginosa TC were completely impaired. The results in this study on the effects of heavy metals on phenol degradation, especially after conjugation, are the first ever reported. All the results described in this study encourage to establish a goal of making "designer biocatalysts" which could degrade certain xenobiotics in the area contaminated with multiple heavy metals.
