본 연구에서는 석유의 탈황에 이용될 수 있는 미생물인 Desuljovrvbrio sp. B5의 생육특성을 조사하였다. Postgate medium C에서의 생육 최적 온도는 $38^{\circ}C$,pH는 6.6~7.0으로 나타났다. Corn steep liquer를 대체 배지성분으로 사용한 결과 0.79g/L의 균체를 얻을 수 있었으며 이는 기존의 결과와 비교하여 약 1.8배 증가한 값이다. Postgate medium C에서 Lactate의 대사 과정에서 생성되는 acctate는 10g/L 이상에서 성장저해를 유발하였다. $H_2S$는 10mM의 total sulfide 농도에서도 균체성장이 저해되었지만 이는 질소가스 주입으로 해소할 수 있었다. 또한 회분식 배양의 결과와 $H_2S$에 의한 product ingixtion에 근거한 균체성장의 modeling 결과는 잘 일치하였다.

토양 입자 표면에 형성한 토착 미생물 바이오필름에 의하여 중금속을 흡착하므로써 하부 생태계로 이동하지 않고 원위치에 고정화하는 실험을 수행하였다. 토양으로 충진한 컬럼에 초산염, 유산염, 포도당 등의 탄소원을 10일간 공급함으로써 토양에 바이오필름을 형성하였다. 바이오필름 형성 기간 중, 초산염, 유산염, 포도당을 공급한 컬럼의 유출 수량은 탈이온수를 공급한 컬럼의 유출수량에 비하여 각각 98.5%, 97.3%, 94.7%인 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 유출수량의 감소는 형성된 바이오필름에 의한 토양 공극 폐색에 의한 것으로 판단된다. 바이오필름이 형성된 토양 컬럼에 Cd, Cr(VI), Cu, Pb, Zn 용액을 주입하며 시간에 따라 유출수를 채집, 중금속을 정량하였다. 바이오필름 컬럼을 통과하여 나온 유출수 중 Cd, Cr(VI), Cu, Zn 농도는 탈이온수 컬럼에 비하여 낮았으며, 이는 토양 입자에 비하여 바이오필름에 의한 이들 중금속 흡착 효율이 높기 때문인 것으로 여겨진다. 바이오필름에 의한 중금속 제거 효율은 토착 미생물에 공급한 탄소원의 종류에 따라 다르게 나타났다. 이러한 연구 결과는 중금속으로 오염된 토양 내에 중금속을 원위치 고정화하는 기술 개발에 유용하게 적용될 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

돈 슬러리(Pig slurry, PS)가 저장되는 동안 상당량의 온실가스가 배출되고 있으며 메탄($CH_4$)이 주요 온실가스로 알려져 있다. 메탄 배출을 줄이기 위해서 진한 황산을 이용하여 돈 슬러리의 pH를 5.0-6.0까지 낮춰서 저장하는 방법이 사용되고 있다. 하지만 부식성이 있고, 사람과 동물에 위험하다는 단점이 있어 사용에 한계가 있다. 본 연구에서는 돈 슬러리가 저장되는 동안 배출하는 메탄을 줄이기 위해 친환경적 방법인 설탕 첨가를 시험해보고자 한다. 설탕을 이용한 돈 슬러리의 산성화 이후, 돈 슬러리의 pH는 7.1에서 설탕의 첨가량(10, 20, 30, 40, 50 g/L)에 따라 $5.8{\pm}0.1$, $4.6{\pm}0.1$, $4.4{\pm}0.1$, $4.1{\pm}0.1$, $4.0{\pm}0.1$으로 감소하였다. 주요 유기산으로는 lactate, acetate, propionate가 검출되었으며 20 g/L 이상의 농도에서는 lactate의 비중이 전체 유기산의 42-72%(COD 기준)까지 증가하였다. 대조군을 41일 동안 저장하는 동안 $20.6{\pm}2.3kg\;CO_2\;eq./ton\;PS$가 배출되었으며 10, 20 g/L에서만 메탄이 검출되었다. 특히, 10 g/L에서는 30일 이전까지는 소량의 메탄이 배출되었으나 그 이후부터는 메탄 배출량이 증가하여 $8.7{\pm}0.4kg\;CO_2\;eq./ton\;PS$(대조군의 40%)까지 도달하였다. 이러한 현상의 원인은 돈 슬러리의 pH 상승(pH 7.0)으로 인한 메탄생성균의 활성도 회복으로 판단된다. 저장 후 돈 슬러리 내 유기물 제거율은 VS 24%, COD 27%로 나타났지만 산성화를 할 경우 유기물 손실(VS 15-4%, COD 12-17%)을 크게 낮출 수 있음 보였으며 저장하는 동안 감소한 COD의 90% 이상이 호기 분해에 의해 일어난 것으로 보인다.

Total mixed ration (TMR) including concentrate diet and roughage together have been used for the ruminant animal. Relatively high concentrations of moisture and water soluble carbohydrate are representative feature of TMR. Those moisture and water can also provide a niche for bacterial growth. Therefore, a possible fermentation of TMR induced by micro-organism is generally accepted. The present study hypothesized that different lactic acid bacteria could alter fermentation of TMR and subsequently rumen fermentation. Three lactic acid bacteria, Lactobacillus paracasei (A), L. plantarum (B) and L. parabuchneri (C), were employed and 7 treatments under full factorial design were compared with control without inoculation. TMR for dairy cow was used. Significant alterations by treatments were detected at lactic acid and butyric acid contents in TMR (p<0.05). Treatment AC (mixture of A and C) and BC (mixture of B and C) showed great lactate production. Great butyrate production was found at treatment C. At in vitro rumen fermentation, treatments B, C and AB (mixture of A and B) showed significantly great total gas production (p<0.05). All treatments except treatments B and AB, showed less dry matter digestibility, significantly (p<0.05). Total volatile fatty acid production at treatment AC was significantly greater than others (p<0.05). In individual volatile fatty acid production, treatment AB and AC showed great acetate and propionate productions, significantly (p<0.05). This study investigated correlation between organic acid production in TMR and rumen volatile fatty acid production. And it was found that butyric acid in TMR had significant negative correlation with acetate, propionate, total volatile fatty acid, AP ratio and dry matter digestibility.

This study investigated the effects of acarbose addition on changes in ruminal fermentation characteristics and the composition of the ruminal bacterial community in vitro using batch cultures. Rumen fluid was collected from the rumens of three cannulated Holstein cattle fed forage ad libitum that was supplemented with 6 kg of concentrate. The batch cultures consisted of 8 mL of strained rumen fluid in 40 mL of an anaerobic buffer containing 0.49 g of corn grain, 0.21 g of soybean meal, 0.15 g of alfalfa and 0.15g of Leymus chinensis. Acarbose was added to incubation bottles to achieve final concentrations of 0.1, 0.2, and 0.4 mg/mL. After incubation for 24 h, the addition of acarbose linearly decreased (p<0.05) the total gas production and the concentrations of acetate, propionate, butyrate, total volatile fatty acids, lactate and lipopolysaccharide (LPS). It also linearly increased (p<0.05) the ratio of acetate to propionate, the concentrations of isovalerate, valerate and ammonia-nitrogen and the pH value compared with the control. Pyrosequencing of the 16S rRNA gene showed that the addition of acarbose decreased (p<0.05) the proportion of Firmicutes and Proteobacteria and increased (p<0.05) the percentage of Bacteroidetes, Fibrobacteres, and Synergistetes compared with the control. A principal coordinates analysis plot based on unweighted UniFrac values and molecular variance analysis revealed that the structure of the ruminal bacterial communities in the control was different to that of the ruminal microbiota in the acarbose group. In conclusion, acarbose addition can affect the composition of the ruminal microbial community and may be potentially useful for preventing the occurrence of ruminal acidosis and the accumulation of LPS in the rumen.

Bacteria that are resistant to high temperatures and alkaline environments are essential for the biological repair of damaged concrete. Alkaliphilic and halotolerant Bacillus sp. AK13 was isolated from the rhizosphere of Miscanthus sacchariflorus. Unlike other tested Bacillus species, the AK13 strain grows at pH 13 and withstands 11% (w/v) NaCl. Growth of the AK13 strain at elevated pH without urea promoted calcium carbonate (CaCO₃) formation. Irregular vaterite-like CaCO₃ minerals that were tightly attached to cells were observed using field-emission scanning electron microscopy. Energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry, confocal laser scanning microscopy, and X-ray diffraction analyses confirmed the presence of CaCO₃ around the cell. Isotope ration mass spectrometry analysis confirmed that the majority of CO₃^2- ions in the CaCO₃ were produced by cellular respiration rather than being derived from atmospheric carbon dioxide. The minerals produced from calcium acetate-added growth medium formed smaller crystals than those formed in calcium lactate-added medium. Strain AK13 appears to heal cracks on mortar specimens when applied as a pelletized spore powder. Alkaliphilic Bacillus sp. AK13 is a promising candidate for self-healing agents in concrete.

The cytotoxic and antitumor activity of Perilla frutescens extract on cultured 3T3 fibroblast and skin melanoma cells were evaluated by tetrazolium MTT (MTT) and neutral red (NR) colorimetric assay methods. Lactate dehydrogenase activity was also measured. The light microscopic study was carried out to observe morphological changes of cultured mouse fibroblast and skin melanoma cells. The results were as follows: 1. Water and ether extracts showed a significant cytotoxicity in 3T3 fibroblast and all extracts exhibited a significant anti-tumor activity in skin melanoma cells. Methanol, ethyl acetate and ethanol extracts showed low cytotoxic effects, but exhibited a high anti-tumor activity. 2. The MTT absorbance in 3T3 fibroblast was significantly decreased by treatment with ether, water, chloroform and ethanol extracts and skin melanoma cells was significantly decreased by treatment with all extracts. The difference in MTT absorbance in two cell types was most remarkable when treated with methanol and ethanol extracts. 3. Methanol and ethyl acetate extracts showed the strongest effect in growth inhibition of melanoma cells. These results indicated that methanol extract possessed a low cytotoxicity and a strong anti-tumor activity.

This study was conducted to examine the effect of dietary n-3/n-6 fatty acid (FA) ratio on in vitro dry matter digestibility (IVDMD), fermentation indices and FA profile. Rice bran was mixed with oil sources (cotton seed oil and linseed oil) to make the diets at 0.02, 0.29 and 0.61 of dietary n-3/n-6 FA ratio. These diets (0.5g) were placed into the incubation bottles with 40 ml of anaerobic culture medium, which contained rumen fluid and Van Soest medium at 1:2 ratio. Five replicates of each diet and two blanks were incubated at $39^{\circ}C$ for 48 hours. After incubation, the incubated contents were centrifuged. The residues were freeze-dried for DMD and FA analyses. The supernatant was used for pH, $NH_3-N$ and volatile fatty acid analyses. The concentrations of lactate (p<0.001) and iso-valerate (p<0.001) decreased linearly with increasing dietary n-3/n-6 FA ratio, but acetate concentration (p=0.056) and the ratio of acetate to propionate (p=0.005) was increased linearly. The concentrations of n-3, n-6 FA and the ratio of n-3/n-6 FA in residues increased (p<0.001) linearly with increasing dietary n-3/n-6 FA ratio, but C18:1n-9 FA concentration was decreased (p<0.001) linearly. With these results, it could affect fermentation characteristics and FA profile of rumen content by dietary n-3/n-6 FA ratio.

The present study describes the formation of succinic acid by a nonvirulent, highly osmotolerant Klebsiella pneumoniae strain SAP (succinic acid producer), its profile of metabolites, and enzymes of the succinate production pathway. The strain produced succinate along with other metabolites such as lactate, acetate, and ethanol under aerobic as well as anaerobic growth conditions. The yield of succinate was higher in the presence of $MgCO_3$ under $N_2$ atmosphere as compared with that under $CO_2$ atmosphere. Analysis of intracellular metabolites showed the presence of a smaller PEP pool than that of pyruvate. Oxaloacetate, citrate, and $\alpha$-ketoglutarate pools were considerably larger than those of isocitrate and fumarate. In order to understand the synthesis of succinate, the enzymes involved in end-product formation were studied. Levels of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase, fumarate reductase, pyruvate kinase, and acetate kinase were higher under anaerobic growth conditions. Based on the profiles of the metabolites and enzymes, it was concluded that the synthesis of succinate took place via oxaloacetate, malate, and fumarate in the strain under anaerobic growth conditions. The strain SAP showed potential for the bioconversion of fumarate to succinate under $N_2$ atmosphere in the presence of $MgCO_3$. At an initial fumarate concentration of 10 g/l, 7.1 g/l fumarate was converted to 7 g/l succinate with a molar conversion efficiency of 97.3%. The conversion efficiency and succinate yield were increased in the presence of glucose. Cells grown on fumarate contained an 18-fold higher fumarate reductase activity as compared with the activity obtained when grown on glucose.
