국내에서 분리된 우수섬유소분해 균주인 Trichodema sp. C-4가 생성하는 endoglucanase 중하나를 $(NH_4)_2SO_4$ 침전, Sephacryl S-200 gel filtration, DEAE-Sepharose A-50 ion exchange, Mono-P chromatofocusing (EPLC)의 단계로 정제하고 이를 F-I-III라 명명하였다. 분리된 효소 F-I-III는 분자량 56,000Da, 둥전점 4.9로 측정된 단일 단백질이었다. F-I-III는 $55^{\circ}C$에서 가장 높은 활성을 보였으며, pH 5.0이 반응 최적 조건이었다. $50^{\circ}C$에서 24시간 동안 안정하였으며, pH 4-7의 범위에서 안정하였다. CMC에 대한 비활성은 315.4U/mg 이었으며, PNPG2에 대한 Km 값은 2.69 mM이었다. 이 효소는 같은 균주에서 분리한 다른 endoglucanase와 exoglucanase를 섞었을 때 결정형 섬유소인 Avicel분해에 대한 상승효과를 보였다. $Mg^{2+},\;CO^{2+},\;Fe^{2+},\;Ca^{2+},\;CS^+,\;Li^+$ 등의 이온은 1 mM의 농도에서 효소의 활성에 큰 영향을 미치지 않았고, 1 mM의 환원제 (cystein, EDIA, \beta-mercaptoethanol, dithiothreitol(DTT), L-ascorbic acid)들은 효소의 활성을 증가시켰다. E-I-III의 N-말단 서열을 분석하여 QPGTSTPEVHPKKLTTYK의 서열을 얻었다. 이는 Trichodema reesei의 endoglucanase인 EGI과 $95\%$의 유사도를나타내었다. 분리된 효소 F-I-III는 높은 비활성을 가지고 있어서 활용가치가 높을 것으로 사료되었다.

Microorganisms capable of utilizing 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid(2,4,5-T) as sole carbon source were isolated from soil by enrichment culture. Among these strains, EL-O7IP had the highest biodegradability of 2,4,5-7, and according to its morphological and physiological characteristics, it was identified as Pseudomonas sp. This strain was resistant to rifampicin, streptomycin, ampicillin, kanamycin and such metal ions as $Zn^{2+}$, $Cu^{2+}$ Various compounds of chlorinated phenol and substrate analogs were more easily utilized than 2,4,5-7, but biodegradation rate for each compound was different. The strain easily utilized the compounds of chlorinated substituents on phenol in the order of ortho-, para-, and meta- position. The biodegradability of this strain was very stable. Key words : 2,4,5- trichlorophenoxyacetic acid, Pseudomonas sp .

A novel ${\beta}$-proteobacterium, designated BXN5-$27^T$, was isolated from soil of a ginseng field of Baekdu Mountain in China, and was characterized using a polyphasic approach. The strain was Gram-staining-negative, aerobic, motile, non-spore-forming, and rod shaped. Strain BXN5-$27^T$ exhibited ${\beta}$-glucosidase activity that was responsible for its ability to transform ginsenoside $Rb_1$ (one of the dominant active components of ginseng) to compound Rd. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that this strain belonged to the family Comamonadaceae; it was most closely related to Ramlibacter henchirensis $TMB834^T$ and Ramlibacter tataouinensis$TTB310^T$ (96.4% and 96.3% similarity, respectively). The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 68.1%. The major menaquinone was Q-8. The major fatty acids were $C_{16:0}$, summed feature 4 (comprising $C_{16:1}$ ${\omega}7c$ and/or iso-$C_{15:0}$ 2OH), and $C_{17:0}$ cyclo. Genomic and chemotaxonomic data supported the affiliation of strain BXN5-$27^T$ to the genus Ramlibacter. However, physiological and biochemical tests differentiated it phenotypically from the other established species of Ramlibacter. Therefore, the isolate represents a novel species, for which the name Ramlibacter ginsenosidimutans sp. nov. is proposed, with the type strain being BXN5-$27^T$ (=DSM $23480^T$ = LMG $24525^T$ = KCTC $22276^T$).

PURPOSE: This study examined the effect of high-frequency transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) and San-Yin-Jiao (SP6) acupressure on primary dysmenorrhea. Furthermore, the difference in effectiveness between the two methods were compared. METHODS: Twenty-six students participated in this study, and were randomly assigned to a high-frequency TENS group(experimental 1, n=9), a San-Yin-Jiao (SP6) acupressure group(experimental 2, n=9), and no treatment group(control, n=8). They were assessed and treated on the first day of their menstruation. The TENS protocol included applying 20 minutes of stimulation with a frequency of 100Hz, $100{\mu}sec$ pulse width. Four electrodes were placed on the skin 3 cm from midline at T12-L1 and S2-3 paravertebral muscles. San-Yin-Jiao (SP6) acupressure should be applied with the thumb for 10 minutes(8 seconds pressure and 2 seconds rest) on the SP6 acupoint. This procedure should be repeated for the other foot. Dysmenorrheal pain measured two pain assessment tools (VAS, DPT) pre-treatment; immediate post-treatment; 30minutes, 1, 2hours; and 3, 4, 5, 6, 24 hours after the VAS test were added. RESULTS: The results showed significant differences in pain assessments (VAS, DPT) after treatment for subjects of experimental group1 (p<.05) and experimental group2 (p<.05), whereas the between-group comparison found no statistically significant differences. CONCLUSION: This result supports the idea that using two methods could be effective in pain reduction among students who suffered from primary dysmenorrhea.

금강 하구에서 분리한 용혈독소를 생산하는 V. mimicus와 유사하지만 분류되지 않은 기수성 Vibrio속으로 추정되는 균주 Vibrio sp. E10 (V. kunsan)의 세균학적 특징은 다음과 같다. 기본적인 생화학적 시험과 전자현미경 상의 형태에서는 V. mimicus와 유사하였지만 TCBS 배지 상의 colony 형태는 V. vulnifirus와 유사하였으므로 V. mimicus와는 차이를 보였다. Human과 sheep blood agar에서의 뚜렷한 용혈환과 rat에 피부혈관투과항진 작용으로 용혈독성이 있었으며, mouse에 대한 치사독성이 있었으므로 병원성이 확인되었다. 생육 가능한 환경 조건은 염도 0$\~$$4.5\%$, pH 6.2$\~$9.2, 온도 $14\~42^{\circ}C$이 었다. Vibrio sp. E10의 16S rDNA 염기서열은 10여종의 V. cholerae와 1종의 Vibrio mimicus의 염기서열과 $99\%$의 상동성을 보여 유사 종으로 판명되었다. 그러나 세균 자동동정기를 이용한 동정 결과, genus는 Vibrio 속으로 동정되었으나 species는 일치하는 균종이 없었다. 알려진 Vi-brio속 중에서 유사성이 높았던 V. mimicus와 비교해 볼 때 18종류의 항목이, V. cholerae와는 11종류의 항목이 다른 반응을 나타내어 미분류 균종으로 확인되었다.

Strain Kw07$^T$, a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, rod-shaped bacterium, was isolated from granules in an Up-flow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket (UASB) bioreactor used in the treatment of brewery waste­water. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that strain Kw07T belongs to the a-4 subclass of the Proteobacteria, and the highest degree of sequence similarity was determined to be to Sphingopyxis macrogoltabida IFO 15033T (97.8%). Chemotaxonomic data revealed that strain Kw07T possesses a quinone system with the predominant compound Q-I0, the predominant fatty acid C,s:, OJ7c, and sphingolipids, aU of which corroborated our assignment ofthe strain to the Sphingopyxis genus. The results of DNA-DNA hybridization and physiological and biochemical tests clearly demonstrated that strain Kw07T represents a distinct species. Based on these data, Kw07T (= KCTC 12209T = NBRC 100800T) should be classified as the type strain for a novel Sphingopyxis species, for which the name Sphingopyxis granuli sp. novo has been proposed.

In this work, we demonstrate 800V 4H-SiC power DMOSFETs with several structural alterations to observe static DC characteristics, such as a threshold voltage ($V_{TH}$) and a figure of merit ($V_B^2/R_{SP,ON}$). To optimize the static DC characteristics, we consider four design parameters; (a) the doping concentration ($N_{CSL}$) of current spreading layer (CSL) beneath the p-base region, (b) the thickness of p-base ($t_{BASE}$), (c) the doping concentration ($N_J$) and width ($W_J$) of a JFET region, (d) the doping concentration ($N_{EPI}$) and thickness ($t_{EPI}$) of epi-layer. Design parameters are optimized using 2D numerical simulations and the 4H-SiC DMOSFET structure results in high figure of merit ($V_B^2/R_{SP,ON}$>~$340MW/cm^2$) for a power MOSFET in $V_B{\sim}1200V$ range.
