We have identified a T cell-activating material in the culture supernatant of Streptomyces species. The factor in microbial culture supernatant (MCS) induced thymocyte proliferation in a does dependent fashion and it could be detected by immunoblot analysis using anti-interleukin-1(IL-1) antibody. The factor in MCS was slightly larger(about 21 kd) in its molecular weight than IL-1 on SDS-PAGE. When 125I-MCS was covalently coupled with homo-bifunctional cross-linking agent, disuccinimidyl-propionate to IL-1 receptor(IL-1R) on mouse thymoma cell(EL-4) and immunoprecipitated with anti-IL-1R antibody the molecular weight of this complex of 110 kd was observed.

This study was performed to evaluate the effect of pH (8-12) and molar ratio of magnesium and phosphate ($[Mg^{2+}]/[PO_4{^{3-}}]$) (0.6-1.4) on struvite crystallization of anaerobic digester supernatant using seawater as magnesium source. pH range of 9-10 is favorable for ammonium and phosphate recoveries. The recovery efficiency of ammonium was highest at $[Mg^{2+}]/[PO_4{^{3-}}]$ of 1.0 and pH 10. On the other hand, high phosphate recovery efficiency (> 99%) was achieved at ($[Mg^{2+}]/[PO_4{^{3-}}]$) of 1.4 and pH 10. The results demonstrated that seawater can be considered as low-cost magnesium source to recover phosphorus from anaerobic digester supernatant.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate whether wetland has antimicrobial activity on pathogenic bacteria in the toilet bowl. Research design, data and methodology: Air-dried mud obtained from "Jilmoe Bog" wetland was packed and dissolved in the autoclaved saline. Antimicrobial susceptibility was assessed against three Gram-negative bacteria using disk diffusion method and broth dilution method. Identification of specific bacterium presented in wetland supernatant was performed using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Results: Incubation of three Gram-negative bacteria with wetland supernatant inhibited bacterial growth of the bacteria, otherwise increased prevalence of specific bacterium. It was confirmed that Pseudomonas putida was presented in wetland supernatant. Conclusions: The results presented in this study might provide the possibility to utilize wetland supernatant as a bioremediation of toilet bowl bacteria.

미치광이풀의 모상근 뱌양에 의해 의학적으로 중요한 물질인 scopolamine과 hyoscyamine 생산을 증진시키기 위해 3종의 곰팡이와 1종의 효모 유래의 생물학적 elicitor를 supernatant와 homogenate의 형태로 처리하였다. Elicitor 중 Candida albicans는 supernatant와 homogenate 모두 scopolamine 생산성을 증가시켰다. Fusarium solani의 homogenate와 C. albicans의 supernatant 처리로 hyoscyamine 함량이 증가되었다. 그러나 나머지 fungus strain도 대조구에 비해 tropane alkaloids의 생산을 다소 증가시켰다. 본 연구에서는 C. albicans가 tropane alkaloids 생산에 적합한 elicitor임으로 구명되었다. 본 연구 결과는 미치광이풀 모상근 대량배양에 의한 tropane alklaoids 대량생산에 기여할 것이다.

조류의 효과적인 제어방법 개발의 일환으로 해양암석분말의 효과를 보기위하여 해양암석분말과 곰팡이 배양 상등액을 이용하여 해양조류 제거율을 조사하였다. 편조류인 H. akashiwo와 P.minimum는 해양암석 분말을 30g/1의 농도로 살포한 실험군에서 높은 구제효과를 나타내었고, P. oxalicum (HCLE-34)배양상등액 살포는 5 mg/l 살포군에서도 구제효과를 나타내었다. 혼합 살포군에서도 배양 상등액 단독 살포군에서와 동등한 정도의 구제효과를 나타내었고, 완충용액 (pH 2.8)은 15 mg/l 살포군에서 60분 경과 후 75%의 구제효과를 나타내었으나, 전자현미경적 관찰에서는 암석분말과 배양 상등액 혼합 살포군, 배양 상등액 살포군, 암석분말 살포군 및 완충용액 살포군 순으로 세포의 파괴정도가 관찰되었다. 이러한 결과는 암석분말과 곰팡이 배양상등액이 해양에서 발생되는 편조류의 대발생을 조절할 수 있는 물질로 작용함을 시사한다.

Nickel is a nutritionally essential trace element that plays an important role in the immune system of several animal species. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of nickel chloride on chemotactic activity of peripheral blood polymorphonuclear cells (PMNs) and whether this effect is associated with interleukin (IL)-8 and a nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB)-dependent pathway. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and PMNs were isolated by Percoll solution (Specific gravity; 1.080) and 1.5% dextran treatment, respectively. A modified Boyden chamber assay was used to measure the chemotactic activity of PMNs. The level of IL-8 in culture supernatant from PBMCs was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Both of PBMCs and PMNs exhibited a low viability when cultured with concentration of greater than 1,000 μM of nickel chloride for 24 h. Thus, nickel chloride was used at concentration of 500 μM, which preserved cell viability. Treatment with nickel did not directly affect the chemotactic activity of PMNs. However, the chemotactic activity of PMNs was remarkably increased by culture supernatant from PBMCs treated with nickel chloride (500 μM) for 24 h. Recombinant porcine IL-8 polyclonal antibody (pAb) neutralized the enhancing effect on the chemotactic activity of PMNs by culture supernatant from PBMCs treated with nickel and this culture supernatant had higher IL-8 levels than the culture supernatant from untreated PBMCs. In addition, n-tosyll-phenylalanine chloromethyl ketone (TPCK), a NF-κB inhibitor, antagonized the enhancing effect on the chemotactic activity of PMNs by the culture supernatant from PBMCs treated with nickel. These results suggested that nickel stimulates porcine PBMCs to produce IL-8, which increases the chemotaxis of PMNs via NF-κB-dependent pathway.

혐기 소화 상징액은 고농도 질소를 함유하고 있으며 수처리 계통으로 반송되어 하수처리장 유입 부하를 증가시킨다. 혐기 소화 상징액 내 고농도 질소를 아질산화 반응을 통해 처리하게 된다면, 경제적인 하수처리장 개조 효과를 기대할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 혐기 소화 상징액을 이용한 장기간 실험실 규모 반응조 운전을 실시하였다. 운전 결과 암모니아성 질소 제거율 90% 이상과 아질산화율 70% 이상 효율을 보이는 운전 조건을 도출할 수 있었다. 또한 이를 바탕으로 운전 인자와 암모니아성 질소 제거 효율 및 아질산화율의 상관성을 분석하였다. 운전 결과 암모니아성 질소 제거 효율과 아질산화율은 미생물 체류시간 (SRT), 암모니아성 질소 부하 및 단위 미생물 농도 (MLSS) 당 암모니아성 질소부하와 관계가 큰 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구 결과는 향후 혐기 소화 상징액의 아질산화 반응 유도에 중요 자료로 활용될 수 있으며, 아질산화 반응의 활용성을 증가시킬 것을 기대한다.

Zinc is necessary for normal functions in the immune system. The objective of the study is to examine the effect of zinc on the chemotactic activity of porcine peripheral blood polymorphonuclear cells (PMNs). A modified Boyden chamber was used to determine the directional migration distance of PMNs. Various concentrations of zinc showed no chemotactic activity to PMNs. However, culture supernatant from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) treated with zinc remarkably increased the chemotactic activity of PMNs when compared with culture supernatant from PBMCs treated without zinc. Culture supernatant from PBMCs treated without zinc also increased the migration distance of PMNs relative to vehicle control (medium alone). Increasing effect in chemotactic activity of PMNs by culture supernatant from PBMCs treated with zinc was inhibited by treatment of porcine anti-interleukin (IL)-8 polyclonal antibody (pAb). This effect was not affected by heat treatment ($4-85^{\circ}C$). This corresponded with heat stable physical characteristics of IL-8. These results suggest that zinc can upregulate the chemotaxis of PMNs, which is primary mediated by IL-8 chemotactic factor released from PBMCs treated with zinc.

Lactobacillus casei KC-324 was tested for its ability to inhibit aflatoxin production and mycelial growth of Aspergillus flavus ATCC 15517 in liquid culture. flatoxin $B_{1}$ biosynthesis and mycelial growth were inhibited in both simultaneous culture and individual antagonism assays, suggesting that the inhibitory activity was due to extracellular metabolites. produced in cell-free supernatant fluids of the cultured broth of L. casei KC-324. In cell-free supernatant fluids of all media tested, deMan, Rogosa and Sharpe broth, potato dextrose broth, and Czapek-Dox broth+1% yeast extract showed higher antiaflatoxigenic activity. In these case, fungal growths, however, was not affected as measured by mycelial dry weight. The antiaflatoxigenic metabolites from L. casei KC-324 were produced over wide range of temperatures between $25^{\circ}C$ and $37^{\circ}C$. However, these metabolites were not thermostable since the inhibitory activity of the supernatant was inactivated within 30 minutes at $100^{\circ}C$ and $121^{\circ}C$. The inhibitory activity was not influenced by changing pH of supernatant between 4 and 10. However, the antiaflatoxigenic activity was slightly reduced at pH 10.
