Degradation performance of environmentally friendly plastics that can be disintegrated by combination of sunlight, microbes in soil, and heat produced in landfills was evaluated for use in industries. Two multi-degradable master batches (MCC-101 and MCC-102 were manufactured, separately mixed with polyethylene using film molding machine to produce 0.025 mm thick films, and exposed to sunlight, microbes, and heat. Low- and high-density polyethylene (LDPE and HDPE) films containing MCC-101 and MCC-102 became unfunctional by increasing severe cleavage at the surface and showed high reduction in elongation after 40 days of exposure to ultraviolet light. LDPE and HDPE films showed significant physical degradation after 100 and 120 days, respectively, of incubation at $68{\pm}2^{\circ}C$. SEM images of films cultured in mixed mold spore suspension at $30^{\circ}C$ and 85% humidity for 30 days revealed accelerated biodegradation on film surfaces by the action of microbes. LDPE films containing MCC-l01 showed absorption of carbonyls, photo-sensitive sites, at $1710\;cm${-1}$ when exposed to light for 40 days, whereas those not exposed to ultraviolet light showed no absorption at the same frequency. MCC-101-based LDPE films showed much lower $M_w$ distribution after exposure to UV than its counterpart, due to agents accelerating photo-degradation contained in MCC-101.

본 연구에서는 원위치 생물학적 처리 과정에서 공대사 기작에 의해 분해되는 유기오염물질의 성상과 거동을 모의하기 위한 수학적 모델을 제기하였다. 토양구조 내에서 부동유역의 존재가 처리 과정에 미치는 영향을 고려하기 위하여 이중공극 개념을 적용하였으며, 유기오염물질의 거동과 생물학적 처리에 미치는 미생물의 영향을 수학적으로 표현하기 위하여 수정된 Monod식과 토양상 미생물의 미소군집모형이 적용되었다. 가상의 원위치 생물학적 처리 과정에 대한 모델의 적용을 통하여 공극내 생체축적으로 인한 투수능의 감소가 지하수 흐름에 미치는 영향이 예시되었다. 가상의 생물학적 처리 과정에 대한 모델의 모의결과는 부동유역의 존재가 유기오염물질의 생물학적 가용성을 저감시키며, 생물벽체의 형성 및 처리과정에 있어 외부로부터의 미생물 및 영양물질 주입정의 위치가 효과적인 처리 계획의 수립을 위해 중요하다는 것을 보여 주었다.

유기산 재료를 이용한 지반 개량은 미생물을 배양하여 지반의 고결화로 인해 친환경적으로 지반의 강도를 증대시키는 방법으로 다양한 토질 성상에 대해 유기산 재료를 혼합 후 미생물 증식으로 강도 증대효과를 규명한 바가 있으나, 현재까지 현장 적용성을 평가한 바가 없다. 본 논문에서는 유기산재료를 이용하여 지반의 미생물 증식으로 인한 지반 고결화에 대해 연구를 실시하였으며, 이를 위해 재령 56일까지 동평판재하시험, 동적콘관입시험, 들밀도시험, SEM-EDS분석을 통해 지반강도의 변화에 대해 규명하였다. 시험 결과, 유기산 재료를 첨가한 지반의 강도와 강성은 증가하는 경향을 나타냈으며, SEM-EDS로부터 탄산칼슘의 증가를 규명할 수 있었다. 향후 유기산 재료를 활용한 친환경적인 지반개량 공법의 지속적인 연구와 관심이 필요하다고 사료된다.

The reactive transport model on the biologically mediated sequential nitrate transformation and its subsequent transport was developed and tested. This model was coded as a reaction module within the RT3D framework (Clement, 1997). Transports of the reasonable six mobile solutes (dissolved organic carbon, $O_2,\;{NO_3}^-,\;{NO_2}^-,\;N_2O,\;N_2$) and two immobile microbes were simulated. The simulation results gave a reasonable match with supposed transport pattern. For the next step, the developed model will be validated against experimental data.

Selective culture of actinomycetes from soil microbes and their antibiotic producing characters by agar-disk method were examined. Some of the organisms which produced antibiotics on agar disk did not produce antibiotics in liquid culture. Further examination indicated that production of antibiotic was dependent on the composition of medium. Many streptomycestes produced antibacterial substances in tryptic soy broth but others produced antifungal antibiotics in V-8 broth. Production of antibacterial substances by Streptomyces sp. was also dependent on the medium composition.

To find microorganisms producing esterase inhibitors, microbes were isolated from soil samples that were collected at different locations in Korea and screened for inhibitory activities. One of the inhibitor-producing strains was named strain DMC-498. This strain was found to be a new species of the genus Streptomyces by comparison with the characteristics of morphology and metabolisms of the other species of the genus.

Phytoremediation is a technology using plants and associated soil microbes to reduce the concentrations or toxic effects of contaminants in the environments. It is regarded as a cost-effective, efficient, eco-friendly, and solar-driven technology with good public acceptance. This study was conducted to find the plants accumulating heavy metals in soils contaminated with Cd and Pb. Experimental plots (plot size: $0.81m^2$) was artificially contaminated using a contaminated soil collected from a field in vicinity of Wondong mine (WD). Sunflower, corn and castor were tested for their potential to remove heavy metals from the contaminated soils. The results indicated that sunflower was most effective in accumulating heavy metals and thus remedying the soils among the three crops. Dry weight and heavy metal uptake of sunflower shoot differed with growth period. For example, the Cd content of shoots including leaf and stem were 0.31mg, 2.23 mg, and 0.96 mg per plot at 4, 8 and 12 weeks after planting in Cd4-WD treatment; in addition, the dry weight of the shoots in Cd8-WD treatment was reduced due to heavy metal toxicity. This experiment showed that sunflower absorbed Cd, Pb and Zn in their shoots up to 8 weeks of planting; thereafter heavy metals uptake was diminished. This implies that the efficiency of these plants in cleaning the contaminated soils may be high at the early stage of plant growth.

In this study, eight-month-old ectomycorrhizae of Tuber borchii with Corylus avellana were synthesized to explore the influence of T. borchii colonization on the soil properties and the microbial communities associated with C. avellana during the early symbiotic stage. The results showed that the bacterial richness and diversity in the ectomycorrhizae were significantly higher than those in the control roots, whereas the fungal diversity was not changed in response to T. borchii colonization. Tuber was the dominant taxon (82.97%) in ectomycorrhizae. Some pathogenic fungi, including Ilyonectria and Podospora, and other competitive mycorrhizal fungi, such as Hymenochaete, had significantly lower abundance in the T. borchii inoculation treatment. It was found that the ectomycorrhizae of C. avellana contained some more abundant bacterial genera (e.g., Rhizobium, Pedomicrobium, Ilumatobacter, Streptomyces, and Geobacillus) and fungal genera (e.g., Trechispora and Humicola) than the control roots. The properties of rhizosphere soils were also changed by T. borchii colonization, like available nitrogen, available phosphorus and exchangeable magnesium, which indicated a feedback effect of mycorrhizal synthesis on soil properties. Overall, this work highlighted the interactions between the symbionts and the microbes present in the host, which shed light on our understanding of the ecological functions of T. borchii and facilitate its commercial cultivation.

A large patch disease caused by Rhizoctonia solani AG2-2(IV) is a serious problem in turfgrass sites including golf courses and sports fields in Korea. The objectives of this study were to isolate some antagonistic microorganisms and to explain some involving mechanisms. Initially single colonies which were formed from the filtrates of various soil samples were obtained from LB culture and then co-cultured with R.solani AG2-2(IV) on PDA plate to explore some antagonistic microbes against for large patch fungus, Rhizoctonia solani AG2-2(IV). Out of total 82 antagonistic isolates which commonly had inhibition effect on Rhizoctonia solani AG2-2(IV) mycelial growth, one candidate (YPIN22) showed the most antifungal effect, which was confirmed by the longest distance from the edge of bacterial colony to the mycelial edge of the Rhizoctonia solani AG2-2(IV) in the dual culture. A succeeding investigation was to test any potential effect of the isolate on growth inhibition of 5 other turfgrass pathogens including R. solani solani AG2-2(IIIB), P. ultimum, C. caudatum, C. lunata, and F.oxysporum. Preliminary result indicated that the new isolate YPIN22 was also found to have antagonistic potential on the growth inhibition of those turfgrass pathogenic fungi, which was explained by inhibition zones ranging from 8 to 22mm. A further explanation of some characteristics of the isolate YPIN22 will be discussed in detail.
