Relationship between structure and biological activity was performed using the five substance P-related peptides (SPRPs) [mammalian-SP (M-SP), cod-SP (C-SP), trout-SP (T-SP), lungfish-SP (L-SP) and Ranakinin] and four SP analogs [[$His^5$]-SP (5H-SP), [$Gly^5$]-SP (5G-SP), ($Ile^8$)-SP (8I-SP) and ($Trp^8$)-Ranakinin (8W-Ranakinin)]. The circular dichroism (CD) spectra showed that all of the peptides took an unordered structure in buffer solution and artificial liposomes. However, 8W-Ranakinin undergoes conformational changes by being transferred into neutral and acidic liposomes from an unordered structure to more ordered structure. The arterial relaxing effect of the peptides was also studied with guinea-pig aorta (GPA), As a result of the studies, L-SP was about 14-fold more potant than M-SP. The order of potency compared to $EC_{50}$ value was $L-SP{\gg}M-SP>5G-SP{\ge}8I-SP>5H-SP>T-SP$, C-SP, Ranakinin, 8W-Ranakinin.

This study was performed to investigate the effects of microbial augmentation on the biological treatment of paper mill wastewater. Three bacteria (KN11, KN13, KN27) capable of degrading aromatic compounds and a bacterial strain (GT21) producing an extracellular cellulase were isolated from soil and wastewater by selective enrichment culture. Through morphological, physiological, and biochemical taxonomies, isolated strains of KN11, KN13, KN27, and GT21 were identified as Acinetobacter sp., Neisseria sp., Bacillus sp., and Pseudomonas sp. and named Acinetobacter sp. KN11, Neisseria sp. KN13, Bacillus sp. KN27, and Pseudomonas sp. GT21, respectively. For analysis of non-biodegradable and chemical oxygen demand (COD)-increasing matter in a paper mill wastewater, we utilized GC/MS to detect aromatic compounds and their derivatives containing several substituted functional groups. The microbial augmentation, J30 formulated with the mixture of bacteria including Acinetobacter sp. KN11, Neisseria sp. KN13, Bacillus sp. KN27, and Pseudomonas sp. GT21, was used for the treatment of paper mill wastewater. The optimum temperature and pH for COD removal of the microbial augmentation, J30, were $30^{\circ}C$ and 7.5, respectively. For evaluation of the industrial applicability of the microbial augmentation, J30 in the pilot test, treatment efficiency was examined using paper mill wastewater. The microbial augmentation, J30, showed a COD removal rate of 87%. On the basis of the above results, we designed the wastewater treatment process of the activated sludge system.

쌀과 같은 곡류는 전분질을 당분으로 전환시켜 술을 제조하여야 하므로 미생물이 생성하는 효소가 필요한데 그 효소원이 누룩이며 누룩은 주류의 품질이나 생산량에 영향을 미치는 가장 중요한 요소라고 할 수 있다. 본 연구는 전국44개 지역의 누룩에서 순수 분리된 89종의 곰팡이 중 효소역가와 당화력이 비교적 뛰어난 10종(Aspergillus sp.

Small punch(SP) tests were performed on high strength Dual Phase(DP) steels in order to evaluate the behavior of hydrogen embrittlement. For this purpose, three different kinds of DP steel specimens were charged with hydrogen by electochemical hydrogen charging experiment. After charging with hydrogen, the amount of charged hydrogen was measured. The measurement results showed that amounts of charged hydrogen were largely dependent on the martensite volume fraction of DP steel. The hydrogen charging time of 25 hrs with current densities of 150 and $200mA/cm^2$ was investigated as saturation condition with hydrogen. The analysis results on the SP energy and height of SP bulbs after SP tests showed that those were decreased as the amount of charged hydrogen increased. Fractographs of SP bulbs were observed a brittle fracture mixed with quasi-cleavage fractures, layered structures and clear facets.

To prevent large patch disease, caused by Rhizoctonia solani AG-2-2, in zoysiagrass a fungicide, Tebuconazole and three microbial agents Streptomyces sp. Burkholderia sp. and Streptomyces sp. S8 were applied in commercial turfgrass cultivation field in Sanchung, Gyeongnam, Korea. All treatments showed 50% reduced the pathogen population in thatch layer throughout the yearly cultivation period. Not only reduced the pathogen population, Tebuconazole, Streptomyces sp. Burkholderia sp. and Streptomyces sp. S8 treatment also enhanced turfgrass growth, chlorophyll and proline content. Malondialdehyde contents in each treatment was reduced from 6.2~28.9% when compared with the control. Taken together, reduction of pathogen population in soil lowered the disease incidence or severity, and allowed the turfgrass developed as normal condition. The results suggested that the selected microbial agents may use as biological control and growth promotion agents for the Zoysia turfgrass.

The effects of nutritional sources on growth of Pseudomonas sp. P2 were investigated in medium containing biphentyl as a carbon source. To determine characterization of Pseudomonas sp. P2, the incubation time was determined to 100 h of the log phase in the growth curve. The optimal compositions for the growth of Pseudomonas sp. P2 degrading polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were 1000 mg/L $NH_4NO_3$, 1000mg/L KH_2PO_4$, 100mg/L MgSO_4$.$7H_2O$, 30mg/L $CaCl_2$.$2H_2O$, 200mg/L NaCl, and 10mg/L $FeSO_4$.$7H_2O$. Pseudomonas sp. P2 showed the degradability of 59.3%, 57.6%, 51.4%, and 48.7% at 500mg/L, 1000mg/L, 1500mg/L, and 2000mg/L of the PCBs within insulating oil after 100 h incubation under the optimum conditions, respectively.

This study was conducted to investigate the disinfection effects of chlorine dioxide ($ClO_2$) on 4 fish pathogenic bacteria (Vibrio anguillarum, Edwardsiella tarda, Streptococcus sp. and Staphylococcus sp.) isolated from infected olive flounders. The bacteria were exposed to different concentrations of ClO$_2$ (0.129, 0.246 and 0.455 ppm) and response times (0.5, 1, 3, 5 and 10 min), and then were incubated for 12 hr. The effective disinfection concentrations of $ClO_2$ against experimental bacteria by $ClO_2$ for 0.5 min were observed with 0.455 ppm for Staphylococcus sp., 0.246 ppm for V. anguillarum and E. tarda, and 0.129 ppm for Streptococcus sp., respectively. The duration of exposure at low concentration of $ClO_2$ increased for the disinfectant ability to experimental bacteria.

The chemical analysis and surface chemical properties of biosurfactant formed by Rhodococcus sp. strain IGTS8, which is widely used in biodesulfurization process, in hexadecane/water mixture have been studied. For the chemical analysis, TLC technique was employed. The surface tension, CMC, and emulsion stability of biosurfactant solution were also investigated. The major components of biosurfactant formed by Rhodococcus sp. strain IGTS8 were glucose mycolate and trehalose monomycolate. The CMC of aqueous biosurfactant solution was 0.1 ~0.15 g/100 mL of Water at pH 6.0-6.5 and pH 10~10.5. But the demulsification was faster at pH 10 than at pH 6.3.

We observed the succession and appearence species of the marine benthic diatoms for the effective seed production of shellfish culture on wave plates in indoor mass culture tanks. Every five days, the existence species and densitiy of diatoms were counted during the 20 culture days. Experimental conditions were 8.5 $\pm$ 0.3$^{\circ}C$ of water temperature, 1.0250$\~$1.0260 of specific gravity, 2,200$\~$13,000 lux of light intensity. The total density of appearence species was rapidly increased with the lapse of time. However, the number of appearence species decreased on the 20th day. The diatoms observed were 10 species; Navicula sp. of, viridula, Cylindrotheca closterium, Licmophora sp., Pleurosisma normnii, Bacillaria Paradoxa Asterionella glacialis, Stephanopuis sp. cf, turris, Entomoneis sp., Odontella aurita and Cocconeis sp, cf, scutellum. Of them, Navicula sp, of, viridula was most dominant throughout the experiment.

For the production of glucose-1-phosphate from sucrose, bacteria having sucrose phosphorylase were isolated from Kimchi. Among them, JS-05, newly isolated strain having high activity of sucrose phosphorylase was selected and identified as Leuconostoc sp. The specific activity of sucrose phosphorylase of Leuconostoc sp. JS-05 was the highest when the strain was cultured at 25C for 20 hrs in the medium (pH 7.5) containing 10 g sucrose, 5g corn steep liquor, and 2.5g yeast extract per liter.
