The effect of catalase on in-vitro maturation in porcine oocytes with or without cumulus cells were studied. The maturation rates were not significantly different in medium with and without catalase during in vitro maturation of oocytes. However, the maturation rates of oocytes with cumulus cells were significantly higher (P＜0.05) than in oocytes without cumulus cells regardless of the presence of catalase. On the other hand, the maturation rate in oocytes cultured with cumulus cells for 48 h (57%) was significantly (P＜0.05) higher than in oocytes with cumulus cells for first 24 h period (42%) only. In another experiment, the maturation rate was significantly (P＜0.05) higher in medium containing catalase for last 24 h period only than in medium containing catalase for first 24 h period during in vitro maturation of ooytes with or without cumulus cells. But the oocytes matured to M-II stage were observed at 24 h of culture of oocytes without cumulus cells only. When oocytes with cumulus cells were cultured for 72 h, the maturation rates was significantly (P＜0.05) higher in medium with (79%) than without (65%) catalase during in vitro maturation. These results indicate that cumulus cells are necessary for in vitro maturation of porcine oocytes, catalase have effect according to the addition periods and can prevent aging of porcine oocytes during maturation in vitro.

Recombinant Saccharomyces cerevisiae BZ-pJ containing the gene coding for metallothionein, a metalbinding protein was grown in the medium with high cadmium concentrations to study the characteristics of growth and cadmium uptake. High concentrations of cadmium reduced cell growth and final cell density and increased the lag phase periods of the recombinant yeast. Addition of 10 mg $Cd^{2+}$/L to the growth medium remarkably decreased a lag period and enhanced the specific cadmium uptake to 52.6 mg $Cd^{2+}$/g dry cell. The effect of copper addition was further investigated in the medium of 680 mg Cd2+/L. An increase in copper concentration from 11.0 to 33.3 mg/L enhanced the specific cadmium uptake from 17.0 to 42.0 mg Cd2+/g dry cell.

The study is the result of an practical operation analysis for the full scale fishery product wastewater treatment plant with immersed MBR (iMBR) process. Since fishery product industries show a wide range of wastewater generation by the season, design and operation of the equalization basin are very important factor. The aeration system for the equalization basin mixing can save the chemical consumption for followed system through the restriction of acid fermentation. The concentrations of wastewater primary DAF process treated were BOD 2,291 mg/L, $COD_{Mn}$ 530 mg/L, SS 256.8 mg/L, T-N 38 mg/L, T-P 13.5 mg/L respectively. It was considered that iMBR is the most efficient biological process for high salinity content wastewater since It is irrelevant to the capability of the sludge precipitation. SADp and SADm were 0.31, $26.5m^3/hr{\cdot}m^3$ respectively. In iMBR process, the critical F/M ratio was derived at 0.08~0.10 gBOD/gMLSS by analysing the correlations between MLSS, normalized TMP and temperature. The effluent concentrations were BOD 1.8 mg/L, $COD_{Mn}$ 12.4 mg/L, SS 1.0 mg/L, T-N 7.85 mg/L, T-P 0.1 mg/L and removal efficiencies were 99.9%, 97.6%, 96.3%, 95.7%, 97.8% respectively.

The field scale experiment was performed to examine the performance of the constructed wetland for nonpoint source (NPS) pollution loading reduction. Four sets (each set of 0.88 ha) of wetland (0.8 ha) and pond (0.08 ha) systems were used. Water flowing into the Seokmoon estuarine reservoir from the Dangjin stream was pumped into wetland systems. Water depth was maintained at 0.3-0.5 m and hydraulic retention time was managed to about 2-5 days; emergent plants were allowed to grow in the wetland. The wetland effluent concentrations of $BOD_5$, TSS, and T-N were higher in winter than in the growing season excepting the T-P, and effluent $BOD_5$ concentration was higher than influents in winter. Mass retention of T-N and T-P was stable throughout the year, whereas mass retention of $BOD_5$ and TSS was decreased in winter. $BOD_5$, TSS, T-N, and T-P performance of the experi-mental system was compared with the existing database (North American Treatment Wetland Database), and was within the range of general system performance. From the first-order analysis, T-P was virtually not temperature dependent, and $BOD_5$ and TSS were more temperature dependent than T-N. Overall, the wetland system was found to be an adequate alternative for treating polluted stream water with stable removal efficiency and recommended as a NPS control measures.

The hybrid constructed wetland(HCW) as tertiary treatment process of a bio industrial wastewater treatment plant was employed to estimate applications for the reuse of final effluent. Raw wastewater was sequently treated through chemical and biological treatment processes and the biologically treated water was flowed into the HCW. The HCW system was composed of two constructed wetlands connected in series; The one is the aerobic constructed wetland with natural air draft system whose driving force for air supply was the difference between the temperature of the air inside the wetland and the ambient air, and the other is the anaerobic/anoxic constructed wetland. Average influent concentrations of BOD, SS, T-N and T-P in the HCW were 53mg/L, 48mg/L, 34mg/L and 3mg/L, respectively. After being treated at HCW, final effluent concentrations of BOD, SS, T-N and T-P were 2.3mg/L, 1.2mg/L, 7.95mg/L and 0.83mg/L, respectively. Referring to a reuse standard for a sewage wastewater, final effluent could sufficiently be reuse as landscaping, washing or agriculture water. HCW system with the aerobic/anaerobic combined constructed wetland could be achieved a high removal efficiency because each constructed wetland was functionalized to be removed efficiently organics, nitrogen and phosphorus. HCW system could be estimated to be successful application as tertiary treatment process of a various industrial and municipal wastewater.

This study was conducted to improve the Nonpoint-source pollutant treatment plant efficiency and maintenance. Field and laboratory permeability test were conducted three times each before and after displacement. The removal efficiency such as TSS, BOD, CODmn, T-N, and T-P were investigated from the year of 2006 to 2011. The coefficient of permeability right after displacement was calculated to be $1.07{\times}10^{-3}(cm/s)$, coefficient of permeability after a year was calculated to be $0.88{\times}10^{-3}(cm/s)$, and after five years, it was calculated to be $0.3{\times}10^{-3}(cm/s)$ and accordingly, the amount of infiltration decreased. In case of the removal efficiency, it generally tended to decrease, but it showed the higher rates than the expected rates BOD 40%, SS 76%, T-N 39% and T-P 53%. It is concluded that displacement cycle should be at least five years and that dredging cycle should be at least three months and at most one year.

This study was performed to investigate the physical characteristics like compressive strength, permeability, porosity and the water quality removal characteristics of permeable concrete pavement filled with microbial-soil sheet to remove SS, organic matter and nutrients in artificial rainfall. As a result, it can show the removal efficiency is SS 90~95%, COD 85~93%, BOD 80~83%, T-N 61~75%, T-P 71~78% on WAPS I(W1) and WAPS II(W2). Therefore, permeable concrete pavement filled with microbial-soil sheet shows higher removal efficiency(SS 10%, organic matter and nutrients 30%) than a conventional porous concrete(W3). By filling microbial-soil sheet to permeable concrete pavement, we confirm that the function and efficiency are improved significantly and that a naturally-friendly facility can be developed and applied to treat non-point sources.

This study was conducted to investigate the contaminants removal efficiency and the optimal operating parameters by the internal recycle rate (IRR) in the combining A2/O process with fixed film. The average removal efficiency of BOD and COD was 92.5%~94.6%, 73.9%~87.0% in RUN 1 and 91.9%~94.7%, 77.7%~89.0% in RUN 2, respectively. Organic removal efficiency, at two different hydraulic retention time of 10 and 14hr, was similar. At 50% of the internal recycle rate, organic removal efficiency was somewhat higher than the other. Total nitrogen (T-N) and total phosphorus (T-P) were removed, highly, at 50% of internal recycle rate. It could be suggested by this study that the optimum internal recycle rate is 50% and hydraulic retention time is 14hr.
