Glucose oxidase was immobilized in polypyrrole by electrosynthesis. The enzyme had an influence on the redox properties of a complex enzyme electrode. In the cyclic voltammograms of the enazyme electrode new peaks were appeared at the potential around 0.7V vs. Ag/AgCl in additional to the typical peaks for polypyrrole. The more immobilized the stronger the peaks became. During the cycling the pH of electrolyte solution was decreased to about 4.4 The reason for that is to be the proton released from the carboxyl in the glucose oxidase in order to keep on a charge neutrality of the oxidized enzyme. This fact suggests that the new peaks in the voltammograms are caused by the redox of glucose oxidase. In the AC impedance spectrum analysis of the electrode the diffusion of electrolyte anion was limited because of chained structure of the enzyme. The faradic impedance was large since the glucose oxidase is an insulator. Therefore when glucose oxidase is entrapped the enzyme should be limited in amount. Because the growth of the polypyrrole is accompanied both charge transfer and mass transport. For the traditional electrosynthesis that means amount of enzyme present in the electrode is limited to as much as film growable.

An electrochemical study related to the redox characteristics of Ethyl-3-acetyl-6-methyl-1, 4-diphenyl-4, 3a-dihydro-1, 3, 4-triazolino[3, 4-a] pyrimidine-5-carboxylate ester and its derivatives (1a-f) and (2a-e) in nonaqueous solvents such as 1, 2-dichloroethane (DCE), dichloromethane (DCM), acetonitrile (AN), dimethylsulphoxide (DMSO) and tetrahydrofurane (THF) using $0.1\;mol\;dm^{-3}$ tetrabutylammonium perchlorate (TBAP) as a supporting electrolyte at platinum, glassy carbon and gold electrodes, has been performed using cyclic voltammetry (CV). Controlled potential electrolysis (CPE) is also carried out to elucidate the course of different electrochemical reactions through the separation and identification of the intermediates and final electrolysis products. The redox mechanism is suggested and proved. It was found that all the investigated compounds in all solvents are oxidized in a single irreversible one electron donating process following the well known pattern of the EC-mechanism to give a dimer. On the other hand, these compounds are reduced in a single irreversible one electron step to form the anion radical, which is basic enough to proton from the media forming the radical which undergoes tautomerization and then dimerization processes to give also another bis-compound through N-N linkage formation.

Effect of nine different cations to the formation of iron oxyhydroxide was studied using Mossbauer spectroscopy, XRD and BET. The Redox Potential and pH were measured for the determination of the internal reaction rate, as well. The phases of iron oxyhydroxide could not be the same with each other, due to the present of different cations in solution. Although the oxyhydroxide compound were composed of the same phases, the fraction of each phase was different from each other. The internal reaction rate was varied by the substitution of cation. It could be a cause of the different phase and particle size of oxyhydroxide compound.

In a mediator-aided microbial fuel cell, the choice of a proper mediator is one of the most important factors for the development of a better fuel cell system as it transfers electrons from bacteria to the electrode. The electrochemical behaviors within the lipid layer of two representative mediators, thionin and safranine O both of which exhibit reversible electron transfer reactions, were compared with the fuel cell efficiency. Thionin was found to be much more effective than safranine O though it has lower negative formal potential. Cyclic voltammetric and fluorescence spectroscopic analyses indicated that both mediators easily penetrated the lipid layer to pick up the electrons produced inside bacteria. While thionin could pass through the lipid layer, the gradual accumulation of safranine O was observed within the layer. This restricted dynamic behavior of safranine O led to the poor fuel cell operation despite its good negative formal potential.

Vertical distribution of heterotrophic bacteria and physico-chemical characteristics were measuted in Kum River estuarine sediments. And interrelationship between heterotrophic bacterka and environmental factors was also studied. The type of sediment of Site 1 was silty clay, and sand at Site 2. Annual pH ranges were between 7.1 and 7.7 in the clay type sediment (Site 1) and 6.9-7.2 in the sand type sediment (Site 2). It was shown that organic matter contents were higher in the clay type sediment than those of sand type sediment. Redox potential values of sediments were decreased rapidly with depth at Site 1, but those of Sete 2 showed vertical fluctuation. Nitrogens(ammonia+amino acid-N, nitrate-N, nitrite-N) and phosphate in the clay type sediment showed higher values than those of sand type sediment. Annual distribution of heterotrophic bacteria were ranged $6.71{\times}10^4$ cells/g dry wt. $-2.50{\times}10^6$ cells/g dry wt. In the clay type sediment and $2.67{\times}10^3$ cells/g dry wt. $-1.94{\times}10^6$ cells/g dry wt. in the sand type sediment. Distribution of proteolytic, lipolytic, and amylolytic bacteria were decreased with the depth and the highest density was found in April and the lowest in January. Bacterial populations in sediments were closely correlated with such environmental factors as pH, redox potential, moisture content, organic matter contents, and inorganic nutrients such as nitrite-N and phosphate-P.

The purpose of this study is to investigate characteristics of total phosphorus (TP) and phosphate phosphorous ($PO_4$-P) concentrations in ponded water and redox potential (Eh) in paddy soil during the growing season. The TP and $PO_4$-P concentrations showed twice peak values after basal dressing and tillering fertilization. The ratio of $PO_4$-P to TP showed low values (0.07~0.18), indicating that most of phosphorus is particlulate. The $PO_4$-P concentrations significantly decreased with dissolved oxygen (DO) concentrations. The Eh showed high values (179~636 mV) under non-ponded aerobic condition, but low values (74~112 mV) under ponded anaerobic condition The TP and $PO_4$-P concentrations in ponded water increased shortly after tillering fertilization even if phosphorus was not applied. This may be due to the release of dissolved phosphorus from the bottom sediment and its associated algal and water flea blooms under anaerobic condition. Therefore, proper water management should be needed shortly after tillering fertilization.

Rusty root of ginseng has been known as one of the limiting factors in ginseng production in Korea. An attempt was, therefore, made to elucidate biological and chemical natures of the rusty root, and the redox Potential of the ginseng cultivated soils were measured and compared with diseased and non-diseased soils. Reddish discoloration was most frequently observed on the epidermis of ginseng root and the pigments were accumulated in all epidermal cells of the diseased lesions. The lower the redox potential of the ginseng cultivated soil was, the more severe the rusty root was observed. Fe content in the diseased epidermis was 3 times higher than that of healthy one. Organic acids such as oxalic, malonic, succinic, and citric acids were also higher in the mss root than in the healthy one. Thin layer chromatogram of phenolic acid fractions obtained from the epidermal cells of the rusty root of ginseng exhibited 3 to 4 unidentified substances not found in the healthy root. Also lignification of the epidermal cells and the activity of phenylalanine ammonia lyase were greater in the rusty root than the healthy root. Colony formation and conidia production of F. solani, And mycelial growth and sclerotium formation of Sclerotinia sp. isolated from ginseng root were suppressed in a nutritionally minimal medium supplemented with water extract of rusty ginseng root epidermis. It is, therefore, suggested that rusty root of ginseng is caused by unfavorable rhizosphere environmental stress or stresses resulting abnormal metabolism in the root as a selfdefence mechanism of non-specific resistance responses.

A hemoglobin/silver nanoparticle heterolayer was fabricated for bioelectronic device with electrochemical signal-enhancement effect. As a device element, a hemoglobin, the metalloprotein, contained the heme group that showed the redox property was introduced for charge storage element. For electron transfer facilitation, a silver nanoparticle was introduced for electrochemical signal facilitation, the hemoglobin was immobilized onto Au substrate using chemical linker 6-mercaptohexanoic acid (6-MHA). Then, the silver nanoparticle was immobilized onto fabricated hemoglobin/6-MHA heterolayers by layer-by-layer (LbL) method. The surface morphology and surface roughness of fabricated heterolayer were investigated by atomic force microscopy (AFM). The redox property of hemoglobin/silver nanoparticle heterolayer was investigated by a cyclic voltammetry (CV) experiment for obtaining an oxidation potential and reduction potential. Moreover, for the assessing charge storage function, a chronoamperometry (CA) experiment was conducted to hemoglobin/silver nanoparticle-modified heterolayer electrode using oxidation and reduction potentials, respectively. Based on the results, the fabricated hemoglobin/silver nanoparticle heterolayer showed that an increased charge storage effect compared to hemoglobin monolayer-modified electrode.

실험실 규모의 배양기에서 곤충세포의 배양을 수행하였다. 회분식 배양에서의 곤충 세포의 성장은 serum의 농도, 다른 영양소, 초기 정종 농도, 기계적인 교반파 같은 변수에 의해 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. Lactate와 ammonium은 회분식 배양에서의 말기에 관찰되는 농도에서는 세포의 성장을 저해하는 원인은 아닌것 같았다. 또한. redox potential은 공충세포의 배양 용존산소를 측정할 수 있는 좋은 index 임을 알 수 있었다. 아울러 유전공학적으로 재조합된 baculovirus를 곤충세포에 감염시켜 재조합 단백질의 생산을 시도하였으며 dilution rate 가 $0.006\;hr^{-1}$일때 반응기당 최대 2800 units 의 beta-galactosidase 가 생산되었다.
