An alkalophilic mi.croorganism (strain YB380), which produces yeast cell wall hydrolase extracellulary, was isolated from Korean soil. The rod-shaped cells were 0.3~0.4 by 2~4${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ long, motile, aerobic, gram-positive, and spore-forming. The color of the colony was light yellow. The temperature range for growth at pH 9.0 was 25 to $45{\circ}C, with optimum growth at $35{\circ}C. The pH range for growth at $35{\circ}C was 8 to 11 with an optimum pH of 9.0. Therefore, the strain YB380 is an obligate alkalophile. The 16S rRNA of strain YB380 has a 99% sequence similarity with that of Bacillus alcalophilus. On the basis of physiological properties, cell wall fatty acid composition, and phylogenetic analysis, we propose that the isolated strain is Bacillus alcalophilus. The yeast cell wall hydrolase from Bacillus alcalophilus subsp. YB380 has been purified and partially characterized. The molecular weight was estimated to be 27,000 daltons with an optimum temperature and pH of $60{\circ}C and 9.0, respectively. The N-terminal amino acid sequence of the enzyme was analyzed as Gln- Thr- Val- Pro- Trp- Gly- Ile- Asn- Arg- Val.

이터븀 광격자 시계의 검색 레이저로 쓰기 위하여, WG-PPLN를 사용하여 1319 nm 파장의 Nd:YAG 레이저와 1030 nm 파장의 Yb 도핑된 광섬유 레이저의 합주파수 (578.4 nm)를 발생시켰다. 이터븀 광격자에서 시계 전이선을 분광하기 위해서는 1 Hz 수준의 선폭을 가지는 검색 레이저가 필요하기 때문에, 합주파수로 발생된 노란색 레이저의 주파수를 초공진기에 안정화하여 선폭을 축소하였다. 초공진기는 선팽창 계수가 낮은 ULE로 제작되었고, 진동으로 인한 영향이 작은 받침점에서 능동형 제진대 위에 설치되었다. 공기 굴절률의 영향을 제거하기 위하여 이 초공진기를 진공 체임버 내부에 설치하고, 온도를 1 mK 수준에서 안정화 하였다. 또한, 이 장치들을 방음 체임버 안에 설치하여, 소리로 인한 잡음을 막아 주었다. 실험에 사용된 초공진기의 광자 수명시간으로부터, 그 예리도가 380 000으로 측정되었다.

A stuructural gene (ycl) encoding novel yeast cell wall hydrolase, YCL, was cloned from alkalophilic Bacillus alcalophilus subsp. YB380 by PCR, and transformed into E. coli JM83. Based on the N-terminal and internal amino acid sequences of the enzyme, primers were designed for PCr. The positive clone that harbors 1.8 kb of the yeast cell wall hydrolase gene was selected by the colony hybridization method with a PCR fragment as a probe. According to the computer analysis, this gene contained a 400-base-paired N-terminal domain of the enzyme. Based on nucletide homology of the cloned gene, a 850 bp fragment was amplified and the C-terminal domain of the enzyme was sequenced. With a combination of the two sequences, a full nucleotide sequence for YCL was obtained. This gene, ycl, consisted of 1,297 nucleotides with 27 nucleotides with 27 amino acids of signal sequence, 83 redundant amino acids of prosequence, and 265 amino acids of the mature protein. This gene was then cloned into the pJH27 shuttle vector and transformed into the Bacillus subtilis DB104 to express the enzyme. It was confirmed that the expressed cell wall hydrolase that was produced by Bacillus subtilis DB104 was the same as that of the donor strain, by Western blot using polyclonal antibody (IgY) prepared from White Leghorn hen. Purified yeast cell wall hydrolase and expressed recombinant protein showed a single band at the same position in the Western blot analysis.

$LiPO_3$에 란탄계열의 원소를 활성체로 첨가하여 '$LiPO_3$:Lanthanides' 유리 섬광체를 제작하였다. 최적의 가열 조건에서 유리 섬광체를 제작하여 광발광(photoluminescence, PL) 특성을 분석하였다. 유리 섬광체의 투명도가 최적이 되는 온도 $950^{\circ}C$, 시간 90분의 조건에서 제작하였으며, 발광스펙트럼 측정 결과 란탄계열의 원소 중 Pr, Nd, Gd, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, Lu은 고유의 발광 스펙트럼이 형성되지 않아 활성체로서의 적용이 불가능한 것으로 나타났다. $Eu^{2+}$와 $Eu^{3+}$의 중심파장은 각각 420 nm, 620 nm이였고, $Ce^{3+}$는 약 380 nm. $Tb^{3+}$는 약 550 nm 이였다. $Bi^{3+}$, $Eu^{2+}$, $Ce^{3+}$를 첨가한 $LiPO_3$ 유리 섬광체에 광전증배관을 결합하여 섬광검출기를 구성하여. Ra-Be 중성자 선원을 이용한 중성자 검출실험을 진행한 결과 $Ce^{3+}$를 첨가한 $LiPO_3$ 유리섬광체가 가장 좋은 효율을 보여주었다.
