BACKGROUND: Identification of endophytic yeasts inhabiting the internal roots of the Mankyua chejuense tree requires techniques involving biotechnology. There is a need for a culture-based method to isolate and identify yeast strains associated with M. chejuense.METHODS AND RESULTS: We spread homogenized M. chejuense root samples onto glucose-peptone- yeast agar containing antibiotics, Triton X-100, and L-sorbose. A total of 152 yeast isolates were obtained and identified via phylogenetic analysis based on ITS gene sequencing. The results revealed that the root-associated yeast species included the genera Cyberlindnera (140 isolates), Candida (11 isolates), and Kluyveromyces (one isolate). Additionally, three yeast isolates showed high bioethanol production.CONCLUSION: We identified the specific yeast community associated with M. chejuense roots. These yeast isolates may have industrial applications as bioethanol producers. Our findings revealed that Cyberlindnera isolates included C. suaverolens and C. satumus, while Kluyveromyces isolates showed high bioethanol production.

Cation motive ATPases on cell membranes of Helicobacter pylori were investigated using everted membrane vesicles. Latent ATPases could be ascertained from aggregated vesicle using N, N-dimethylformamide (DMF) and Triton X-100. By contrast, ultrasonication or chloroform treatments caused membranes to be disrupted, resulting in an alteration of sensitivities against azide or vanadate. Considerable amounts of vanadate-sensitive enzymes were identified from vesicle micelles, prepared by the dilution method. These were activated in the presence of either $Ni^{2+}\;or\;NH_4^+$. From studies employing H. pylori intact cell systems, we found that ATPase expression of this bacterium was markedly dependent upon air composition. It was interesting that cellular expression of $Ni^{2+}$- or $NH_4^{+}$-motive ATPases was significantly affected by extracellular pH, suggesting that these unique enzymes may physiologically be involved in cellular $Ni^2$ import and $NH_4^+$ export, respectively.

The effects of surfactants affecting polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon(PAHs) solubility and biodegradation in soil slurry were investigated. The critical micelle concentration(CMC) values of surfactants used in this study were 12.7mg/L(Brij 30), 13.4mg/L(Tween 80), 13.6mg/t(Triton X-100). The solubility of PAH increased as the Hydrophile-Lipophile Balance(HLB) value of surfactant decrease. At surfactant biodegradation and toxicity experiement using respirometer, Brij 30 did not show any toxic effect and substrate inhibition upon the level of 1.5g/L. Also, biodegradation of Brij 30 gave no reduction on the phenanthrene biodegradation rate. When the desorption rate of phenanthrene between sand and clay is compared, lower percentage of phenanthrene was desorbed at clay because of the larger surface aera and higher organic content of clay. At the biodegradation experiments of phenanthrene in soil slurry phase, more than 90% of initial phenanthrene adsorbed onto both sand and clay were biodegraded by phenanthrene- acclimated cultures.

Synchronous spectrofluorimetry was carried out for the simultaneous determination of various polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons(PAHs) in aqueous solution by fluorescence spectrometry have been studied. The optimal wavelength interval(${\triangle}{\lambda}$) for synchronous spectra of acenaphthene, anthracene, benzo[a]anthracene, fluorene and pyrene were investigated in the presence of surfactants. The great enhancement of the fluorescence of these PAHs in Triton X-100 was obtained and optimal wavelength was 50 nm. The calibration curves in synthetic mixture solution of 5 PAHs were linear over the range from $1.0{\times}10^{-8}M$ to $1.0{\tiems}10^{-4}M$. Under the optimal experimental conditions, the detection limits were $4.9{\tiems}10^{-9}M$,\;7.0{\times}10^{-9}M,\;4.7{\tiems}10^{-9}M,\;1.6{\tiems}10^{-9}M$ and $3.2{\tiems}10^{-9}M$ for acenaphthene, anthracene, benzo[a]anthracene, fluorene and pyrene, respectively.

In this study, acid cellulase was used to treat denim fabrics by varying pH, temperature, enzyme concentration, treatment time and non-ionic surfactant (Triton X-100) concentration. Treatment condition was controlled based on the weight loss. The characteristics of enzyme-treated fabrics were measured in terms of tearing strength, stiffness, and color difference. The optimum conditions for cellulase treatment of denim fabric were pH 5.0, $50^{\circ}C$, 3% (o.w.f.), 90minutes. The weight loss did not change significantly with the addition of a non-ionic surfactant, but it improved when more non-ionic surfactant were used. The tearing strength of enzyme-treated denim fabrics did not deteriorate. The stiffness of the treated fabrics improved with the enzymatic treatment with and without the non-ionic surfactant. The difference in color of fabrics treated with enzyme increased.

Eco-friendly processing using enzymes has been focused in textile industry in order to reduce environmental pollutions. This paper was suggested to hydrolyze non-cellulose, such as fats and waxes in cotton fabrics by lipase treatment. Enzymatic treatment conditions were controlled according to pH, temperature, enzyme concentration, and treatment time. The physical properties of the lipase-treated cotton fabrics were evaluated by measuring weight loss, moisture regain and dyeing properties. The surface morphology of lipase-treated cotton fabrics were observed by SEM. As a result, the optimum conditions for the lipase treatment were at pH 4.2, temperature 50$^{\circ}C$, concentration 50%, and treatment time 90 minutes. Calcium chloride and Triton X-100 were effective auxiliaries in lipase treatment.

유류오염토양의 자연복원 시 생물이용도(bioavailability)를 높이기 위해 사용되는 계면활성제의 영향을 살펴보고자 제지 폐수로부터 분리한 미생물과 5가지 계면활성제를 사용하였다. 계면활성제로는 Brij 35, Brij 30, Triton X-100, Tween 40, Tween 80을 사용하였으며 유류오염물질로는 PAHs를 사용하여 계면활성제 별 미생물의 성장률 및 PAHs 분해율을 살펴보았다. 그 결과 각각의 계면활성제에 따라 서로 다른 미생물 성장 및 PAHs 분해능을 보였다. 계면활성제에 따른 미생물 성장은 Tween 계열에서 뚜렷했으며 이들 중 Tween 40에서는 PAHs의 분해능 또한 가장 활발하였다.

유해성 유기물질로 오염된 토양의 복원을 위한 토양세척공정에서 계면활성제를 선택적으로 재이용하기 위해 활성탄을 이용한 흡착 칼럼의 성능을 평가하였다. 계면활성제로는 Triton X-100을 소수성 유해 유기물질로는 다환방향족 탄화수소의 하나인 phenanthrene를 사용하여 그 성능을 평가하였다. 계면활성제의 흡착은 phenartthrene에 비해 빠른 흡착 특성을 보였으며 phenanthrene은 계면활성제의 포화흡착상태에서도 지속적으로 흡착이 이루어졌다. 이는 계면활성제의 흡착이 종료된 이후에도 유해성 유기물질의 지속적인 흡착을 기대할 수 있어 계면활성제의 지속적인 재이용과 활성탄 사용시간의 증대를 가져올 수 있음을 의미한다. 이와 같은 활성탄 칼럼에서의 유해성 유기물질의 우수한 선택적 흡착 결과는 기본적으로 소수성 정도의 차이와 size exclusion에 의한 기작뿐만 아니라 활성탄에 흡착된 계면활성제에 의한 다환방향족 탄화수소의 추가적인 흡착이 일어나 전체적인 성능이 향상되는 것에 기인한다.

Odontoglossum ringspot virus (ORSV) was finally purified from ORSV-infected orchid plants by diethylaminoethyl (DEAE) cellulose anion exchange column chromatography. The virus was reliably eluted by potassium chloride at the concentration from 0.1 M to 0.13 M. Partial purification was done by solubilization with Triton X-100 (allkylphenoxypolyethoxy ethanol) and precipitation with polyethylene glycol (PEG; MW 8,000). The finally purified ORSV represented one distinct homogeneous band and the molecular weight of its capsid protein was about 17,500 Dalton in electrophoretic analysis. Electron microscopy showed not only intact particles ranged from 280 nm to 340 nm in length, but also segmented particles that final 140 nm to 220 nm and even disks. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) showed that final yield was 12 mg/100 g of the infected leaves. Bioassay demonstrated that the purified ORSV had the normal infectivity to orchid plants and Nicotiana glutionsa. Based on these data, anion exchange column chromatography could be efficiently applied to the purification of ORSV and other viruses similar to ORSV.

토양세척 공정 시 오염물질을 제거하기 위해 사용한 계면활성제를 재사용하기 위해 활성탄을 사용하였으며 이때 계면활성제와 HOC (Hydrophobic Organic Chemical)의 분배를 예측 할 수 있는 모델을 개발하였다. 계면활성제로는 Triton X-100, HOC는 phenanthrene을 활성탄으로는 Darco 20-40 mesh를 사용하였다. 개발된 모델로 계면활성제 주입량, 활성탄 주입량에 따른 계면활성제와 HOC의 분배결과를 각각 전산 모사를 통하여 얻었다. 그 결과 활성탄이 포함된 계 내에서의 계면활성제와 HOC의 분배가 미셀이 형성되는 농도를 전후로 서로 다른 분배 양상을 보였다. 또한 전산모사 결과는 실제 실험결과를 비교적 정확하게 반영함을 알 수 있다.
