Harmful algal blooms (HABs), commonly called red tides, are caused by some toxic phytoplanktons, and have made massive economic losses as well as marine environmental disturbances. As an effective and environment-friendly strategy to control HAB outbreaks, biological methods using marine bacteria capable of killing the harmful algae or algicidal extracellular compounds from them have been given attention. A new member of the $\gamma$-Proteobacteria, Hahella chejuensis KCTC 2396, was originally isolated from the Korean seashore for its ability to secrete industrially useful polysaccharides, and was characterized to produce a red pigment. This pigment later was identified as an alkaloid compound, prodigiosin. During the past several decades, prodigiosin has been extensively studied for its medical potential as immunosuppressants and antitumor agents, owing to its antibiotic and cytotoxic activities. The lytic activity of this marvelous molecule against Cochlodinium polykrikoides cells at very low concentrations ($\sim$l ppb) was serendipitously detected, making H. chejuensis a strong candidate among the biological agents for HAB control. This review provides a brief overview of algicidal marine bacteria and their products, and describes in detail the algicidal characteristics, biosynthetic process, and genetic regulation of prodigiosin as a model among the compounds active against red-tide organisms from the biochemical and genetic viewpoints.

This study was carried out to analyze the disparities of basic living infrastructure between Guns(rural counties), and between Eups/Myuns(rural districts) in Jeollanam-do province. For the purpose of this study, dimensions of regional disparity in basic living structure were measured by 3 components ; road, public water service and sewage disposal. By utilizing the published statistics, this study has examined 8 Guns(counties) containing Eup and Myon in Jeollanam-do province which can represent 4 different rural areal types, respectively, i,e. mountainous, semi-mountainous, flat and seashore areas. The data acquisition time of this study is fixed on end of 2009 year in order for possible collections of the most recent published statistics. It presents evidence on the magnitude and evolution of discussion of regional disparities between Guns(counties), and between Eup & Myon, and between Myons in Jeollanam-do province even though infrastructure provision level of Jeollanam-do rural areas are much more improved than the past. Concludingly, the existing disparities in this area is meaningful and so, it should be seriously reconsidered when deciding local government's budget allocation priority.

울릉도에서 7곳의 항구(천부항, 현포항, 태하항, 남양항, 사동항, 도동항, 저동항)와 1곳의 해변(구암)에서 표층해수를 채취하였다. 배양하지 않은 시료(uncultured samples)와 배양한 시료(cultured samples)에서 각각 미생물의 16S rDNA를 pyrosequencing하여 해양미생물의 분포를 조사하였다. 태하항과 사동항의 해수처럼 청정한 해수에서는 Alphaproteobacteria 분포율이 높았고, 남양항, 도동항, 저동항의 해수처럼 생활하수나 하천수의 유입이 많은 곳에서는 Gammaproteobacteria 분포율이 증가하였다. Marine broth로 배양한 시료(cultured samples)에서는 Alteromonas (천부항, 태하항, 구암해변, 남양항, 사동항), Shewanella (저동항), Vibrio (현포항, 도동항) 속이 우점으로 분포하였다. 본 연구결과는 항구로 유입되는 하천수나 생활하수가 해양미생물의 분포에 큰 변화를 초래한다는 것을 시사한다.

Reinforced concrete structures have been increasingly widely used in numerous industrial fields. These structures are often exposed to severely corrosive environments such as seawater, contaminated water, acid rain, and the seashore. Thus, the corrosion problems that occur with the steel bars embedded in concrete are very important from the safety and economic points of view. In this study, the effects of the cover thickness on the corrosion properties of reinforced steel bars embedded in multiple mortar test specimens immersed in seawater for 5 years were investigated using electrochemical methods such as the corrosion potentials, polarization curves, cyclic voltammograms, galvanostat, and potentiostat. The corrosion potentials shifted in the noble direction, and the value of the AC impedance also exhibited a higher value with increasing cover thickness. Furthermore, the polarization resistance increased with increasing cover thickness, which means that the oxide film that is deposited on the surface of a steel bar surrounded by alkali environment exhibits better corrosion resistance because the water, chloride ions and dissolved oxygen have difficulty penerating to the surface of the steel bar with increasing cover thickness. Consequently, it is considered that the corrosion resistance of reinforced steel can be improved by increasing the cover thickness. However, the corrosion resistance values of a steel bar estimated by measuring the corrosion potential, impedance and polarization resistance were not in good agreement with its corrosion resistance obtained by polarization curves.

국내 일반폐기물 매립지의 경우 함수비가 높은 쓰레기의 특성으로 인하여 매립지 내부에 누적수위가 발생하는 경우가 많고 따라서 매립된 복토재와 쓰레기의 수리특성의 파악은 매우 중요하다. 폐기물 매립지의 설계시공 과정에서 매립지 하부차수재와 주변지반의 수리특성에 대해서는 많은 지반조사와 연구가 되어있으나 매립지내부 쓰레기와 복토재의 수리적특성 및 흐름거동에 대한 조사 및 해석은 국내외적으로 되어있지 않다. 본 논문에서는 국내 대표적 폐기물 매립지에 대한 현장 지반조사로부터 쓰레기와 복토재의 지반공학적 특성을 파악하고 양수시험(pumping test)과 순간충격시험(slug test)을 이용하여 매립된 쓰레기와 복토재의 수리특성을 파악하였다. 현장지반조사 결과 매립된 쓰레기의 다짐정도는 실내시험의 최대 단위중량 값을 상회하는 것으로 나타났으며 쓰레기에 의하여 덮여진 중간 저투수성 복토재는 침출수와 가스의 수직 흐름을 방해하고 있는 것으로 보여진다. 현장 양수시험과 순간충격시험의 투수계수는 상호간에 잘 일치하고 문헌에서 나타난 잘 다져진 쓰레기의 투수계수 범위에 있는 것으로 나타났다.

투수성 중간복토재로 인한 침출수 흐름 거동과 누적수위 저감을 위해 양수정을 이용한 수직배수공법의 적용 가능성을 흐름 수치해석 프로그램인 MODFLOW를 이용하여 분석하였다. 현장 양수시험과 순간충격시험으로부터 획득한 투수계수와 저류계수를 이용하여(장연수 외, 1999) 현장의 수리상황을 수치적으로 검증한 후, 매립지에서 누적수위를 저감하기 위한 양수정의 최적양수율, 영향반경, 수평드레인의 효용성을 분석하였다. 본 수치해석 결과 대상지역의 지반조사결과(장연수 외, 1999)에서도 나타났던 저투수성의 중간 복토재로인한 매립지내의 수직흐름을 방해하는 차수효과가 다시 확인되었다. 단정 양수시 120 ton/day까지 가능하였던 양수율은 수평드레인 추가후 300 ton/day까지 증가하였으나 드레인 길이가 시간-수위강하 곡선에 큰 영향을 주지는 않았다.

A chitinase-producing bacterium was isolated from seashore mud around Beobseongpo in Chunmam province through the use of a selective enrichment culture. The best chitinase producing strain was isolated and identified as Serratia marcescens KY from its characteristics. For effective production of chitinase, optimum pH, temperature, and agitation speed were investigated in flask cultures. The optimum pH using Serratia marcescens KY was between pH 6 and 7 and the chitinase produced was 37.9 unit/mL. On the other hand, the optimal pH of the Serratia marcescens ATCC 27117 was 7.5, and the produced amount of chitinase was 35.2 unit/mL. The optimal temperature for chitinase production for Serratia marcescens KY and Serratia marcescens ATCC 27117 was $30^{\circ}$. The cell growth pattern at different temperature was almost identical to the chitinase production. To investigate the optimal shaking speed under optimal culture, speeds were varied in the range of 0∼300 rpm. The maximum production of chitinase was carried at 200 rpm although the cell growth was the highest at 150 rpm. It indicates that oxygen adjustment is required for the maximum chitinase production. Using optimal conditions, batch cultures for comparing Serratia marcescens KY and Serratia marcescens ATCC 27117 were carried out in a 5 L fermentor. The oxygen consumption was increased with the increase of culture. Especially, at 120 h of culture Serratia marcescens KY and Serratia marcescens ATCC 27117 produced 38.3 unit/mL, and 33.5 unit/mL, respectively.

Objectives: On December 7, 2007, the Hebei Spirit oil tanker spilled out 12,547 kl of crude oil on the Yellow Sea 10 km away from the cost of Taean Province, Korea. As the coastline has been contaminated, local residents have been exposed to crude oil. Because the residents were showing many symptoms, we investigated the acute health effects of this oil spill on them. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study consisting of the heavy and moderately oil soaked area in Taean and the lightly oil soaked area in Seocheon. Ten seashore villages were selected from each area, and 10 male and female adults were selected from each village. We interviewed the subjects using a structured questionnaire on the characteristics of residents, the cleanup activities, the perception of oil hazard, depression and anxiety, and the physical symptoms. The odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals were analyzed using logistic regression analysis. The logistic regression model was adjusted for age, gender, education, smoking, the perception of oil hazard and anxiousness. Results: The more highly contaminated the area, the more likely it was for residents to be engaged in cleanup activities and have a greater chance of exposure to oil. The indexes of anxiety and depression were higher in the heavy and moderately oil soaked areas. The increased risks of headache, nausea, dizziness, fatigue, tingling of limb, hot flushing, sore throat, cough, runny nose, shortness of breath, itchy skin, rash, and sore eyes were significant. Conclusions: The results suggest that exposure to crude oil is associated with various acute physical symptoms. Long-term investigation is required to monitor the residents' health.
