  • Enterotoxigenic E. coli is one of the major causative agents of the infantile diarrhea and traveler's diarrhea. The heat-stable enterotoxin (ST) is thought to be a virulence factor in the pathogenesis of the diarrhea and to be a maker for identification of the enterotoxigenic E. coli from non pathogenic E. coli. ST producing E. coli KM-7 strain was isolated from the swine and molecular cloning of ST gene of KM-7 strain. Transformant eKT-53 $(ST^+,\;LT^-)$ was selected by infant mouse assay (IMA). The culture supernatant of eKT-53 strain was performed purification by multipled steps. The culture supernatant (crude ST) was purified by sequentially applying batch adsorption chromatography on Amberlite XAD-2 resin, ion exchange chromatography on DEAE-Sephacel anion exchanger, gel filtration chromatography on Bio-Gel P-6 and preparative polyacrylamide slab gel electrophoresis. About 113-fold purification was achieved with a yield of about 11% of crude ST and the minimum effective dose(MED) of this purified ST was about 2.8ng in IMA. Homogeneity of purified ST was demonstrated by showing a single band in analytical SDS polyacrylamide disc gel electrophoresis.

  • The alkaline invertase ($\beta$-D-fructofuranoside fructohydrolase, EC 3.2.1.26) was isolated and characterized from the hypocotyls of mung bean (Phaseolus radiatus L.). The enzyme was purified by consecutive step using diethylaminoethyl (DEAE)-cellulose anion exchange, 1st Sephadex G-200, DEAE-Sephadex A50 and 2nd Sephadex G-200 chromatography. The overall purification was about 77-fold with a yield of about 6%. The finally purified enzyme exhibited a specific activity of about 48 $\mu$mol of glucose produced mg-1 protein min-1 at pH 7.0 and appeared to be a single protein by nondenaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE). The enzyme had the native molecular weight of 450 kD and subunits molecular weight of 63 kD and 38 kD as estimated by Sephadex G-200 chromatography and SDS-PAGE, respectively, suggesting that the enzyme is a heteromultimeric protein composed of two types of subunits. On the other hand, the enzyme appeared to be not a glycoprotein according to the results of Con A chromatography and glycoprotein staining. The enzyme had a Km for sucrose of 19.7 mM at pH 7.0 and maximum activity around pH 7.5. The enzyme was most active with sucrose as substrate, compared to raffinose, cellobiose, maltose and lactose. These results indicate the alkaline invertase is a $\beta$-fructofuranosidase.

  • The development of excellent high-energy materials has progressed in the direction of synthesizing compounds with high nitrogen content, ultimately oriented toward the form of polynitrogen. As cyclo-N5-, a type of polynitrogen, is synthesized as sodium pentazolate(NaN5) and the results of various metal and non-metal compounds have been studied, the usage of polynitrogen compounds is attracting attention. However, since the known synthesis and purification method of NaN5 are very extreme and complicated, it is essential to improve the process in order to increase the utility of the pentazolate compounds in the future. In this study, only a simple filtration method was applied to purify the NaN5, and based on this, two non-metal pentazolate salt compounds were successfully synthesized.

  • The optimum conditions of the 1st and 2nd distillation had been investigated to obtaine a high quality monomeric MDI and fire reactive polymeric MDI by purification of crude MDI. Effect of additives on the monomeric MDI's color change, dimerization and the reactivity of polymeric MDI with standard polyol system has been tested. When the monomeric MDI yield is approximately 32%, 4,4'-MDI content is above 98% in the monomeric MDI at the 1st distillation. When the separation ratio of initial portion and residue percentage, reflux ratio are set at respectively, approximately 20wt%, 9wt%, above 2 in order to minimize the content of 2,4'-MDI in monomeric MDI, the freezing point of final distilled monomeric MDI is above $38.4^{\circ}C$. Since the monomeric MDI is inherently unstable in the room condition, monomeric MDI easily changes it's color and conducts self-polymerization reaction. To increase the stability of monomeric MDI, the composition of antioxidant, which is composed of phenolic 1st antioxidant, phosphorus 2nd antioxidant, UV absorbent and Hindered amine light stabilizer are used, and benzoyl chloride as antipolymerization agent test are that APHA color is less than 20, dimer content is remained less than 0.36wt% after 45 days storage of monomeric MDI.

  • A reed-sand-filter system was used to purify swine wastewater economically. Reeds (Phragmites communis Trin) were planted on the sand / gravel bed of a 20/30cm layer depth. After the input of waste-water up to a depth of l0㎝, the effluent was monitored for pollutants on the 1st, 3rd, 5th and 7th day thereafter. As swine wastewater stayed longer, the pollutants in the effluent such as T-N, $PO_4^{3-}$, COD and BOD were removed more effectively. The sand-filter system with reeds showed a superior removal efficiency to that without reeds. Especially in summer, the former showed greater purification rates than the latter, being 30% greater in T-N, 37% in $PO_4^{3-}$, 42% in COD and 30% in suspended solids. The seasonal purification efficiency was in the decreasing order of July, October and April. Reeds took up 40.1g N, 10.8g $P_2O_5$, 38.9g $K_2O$, 2.8g CaO, 2.1g MgO per square meter of the above surface area.

  • An Alkalophilic Bacillus circulans that can produce significant amount of cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase) was newly isolated from soil. The culture filtrate was successively purified by ($NH_4$)$_2$$SO_4$precipitation, DEAE-Sephadex column chromatography, and Sephadex G-100 column chromatography. The enzymatic properties, including molecular weight, optimal pH and temperature, stability, and kinetic parameters, were determined. The cyclodextrin synthesis reaction catalized by the purified CGTase was also studied. The sweet potato and corn starch were found to be the most suitable substrates with 60% conversion to cyclodextrin. The highest conversion was achieved at the CGTase concentration of 900-1,100 units/g of soluble starch. The purified CGTase could also catalize the transglycosylation on stevioside.
