In this study, a poly(vinyl) alcohol/sodium alginate (PVA/SA) mixture was used to fabricate core-shell structured gel beads for autotrophic single-stage nitrogen removal (ASNR) using aerobic and anaerobic ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AAOB and AnAOB, respectively). For stable ASNR process, the mechanical strength and oxygen penetration depth of the shell layer entrapping the AAOB are critical properties. The shell layer was constructed by an interfacial gelling reaction yielding thickness in the range of 2.01-3.63 mm, and a high PVA concentration of 12.5% resulted in the best mechanical strength of the shell layer. It was found that oxygen penetrated the shell layer at different depths depending on the PVA concentration, oxygen concentration in the bulk phase, and free ammonia concentration. The oxygen penetration depth was around $1,000{\mu}m$ when 8.0 mg/L dissolved oxygen was supplied from the bulk phase. This study reveals that the shell layer effectively protects the AnAOB from oxygen inhibition under the aerobic conditions because of the respiratory activity of the AAOB.

In this study, aerobic granules were applied to a lab-scale aerobic granule sludge airlift reactor (AGSAR) and the ammonium nitrogen oxidation performance was evaluated at different ammonium nitrogen loading rate (NLR). At least 99% of the initial ammonium nitrogen was oxidized at an NLR of 0.27 and 0.53 kg $NH_4{^+}-N/m^3{\cdot}day$, for both aerobic granules (control), and nitrifying aerobic granules (NAGs). The ammonium nitrogen oxidation deteriorated, when the NLR was increased to 1.07 kg $NH_4{^+}-N/m^3{\cdot}day$. The NAGs were characterized by complete nitrification, while partial nitrification was observed in the control.

For the purpose of improving hygienic quality of dried-Angelica Keiskei Koidz powder, the effect of ozone treatment and gamma irradiation on the microbial decontamination and physicochemical properties were investigated. Gamma irradiation at 5 to 7.5 kGy resulted in sterilizing total aerobic bacteria, molds and coliforms below detective levels, while ozone treatment for 8 hours up to 18 ppm did not sufficiently eliminate the total aerobic bacteria of the sample. The physicochemical properties of the sample were not changed by gamma irradiation up to 7.5 kGy, whereas, ozone treatment caused remarkable changes in pH, TBA value, chlorophyll, carotenoid and fatty acid compositions. Therefore, this investigation demonstrated conclusively that gamma irradiation was more effective than ozone treatment for decontaminating and sterilizing the dried-Angelica Keiskei Koidz powder, with minimal effect on the physicochemical properties analyzed.

The comparative effects of ozone treatment and gamma irradiation on the sterilization, physicochemical properties and sensory quality of red pepper powder were investigated. As for the sterilization of microorganisms, 7.5~10 KGy of gamma irradiation completely eliminated the coliforms, yeast and molds, and total aerobic bacteria. On the other hand, ozone treatment failed to eliminate the highly contaminated microbial load, especially total aerobic bacteria. The physicochemical properties including capsaicin, capsanthin, browning, fatty acid compositions and sensory quality were not significantly changed by gamma irradiation up to 10 kGy, whereas ozone treatment caused significant changes in fatty acid compositions and destruction of natural pigments (p<0.05). The above results led us to conclude that gamma irradiation was more effective than ozone treatment for the sterilization and maintenance of physicochemical and sensory qualities of red pepper powders.

This study investigated the reduction of microbial population and sensory properties in red pepper powders irradiated by gamma ray, electron beam, and X-ray. Populations of total aerobic bacteria and yeast & molds in red pepper powders were decreased by irradiation treatment in a dose-dependent manner. Gamma ray, electron beam, and X-ray at doses above 8 kGy caused 100% inhibition on growth of aerobic bacteria in red pepper powders. Inhibitory activity of X-ray on sterilization of red pepper powders was significantly equal to or higher compared to gamma ray and electron beam. Color and off flavor in red pepper powders were no significant difference among the control and samples irradiated with gamma ray, electron beam, and X-ray. As a result, the gamma ray, electron beam, and X-ray irradiation can be used to sterilize the microbial growth in red pepper powders without quality loss.

It is important to identify the bacteria in snakes because they can cause disease; importantly, bacteria such as Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, Escherichia coli, Proteus vulgaris etc. could be pathogens especially in hospitalized, debilitated hosts, and immunocompromised patients. To analyze the distribution of snakes' bacteria in petting zoo, samples from 20 snakes were collected from 2002 to 2008. Nine bacteria species were isolated from both oral and cloaca while four and six species were identified only from oral and cloaca, respectively. Except for Actinobacter sp., all of the identified strains are opportunistic pathogens, and most of them can cause nosocomial infections in humans. Present results indicate that prevalence of various zoonotic bacterial strains in snakes could be involved in potential transfer of these bacteria into caretakers and other animals. Therefore, it needs to examine the antibiotic resistance of these pathogens to prevent outbreaks.

건조수산가공품의 새로운 살균, 저장법의 개발을 목적으로 건새우 및 건멸치 분말의 현행 살균방법인 ethylene oxide에 의한 훈증처리와 방사선 조사와의 미생물 살균효과 및 이화학적 특성에 미치는 검토한 결과는 다음과 같다. 시료의 미생물 오염은 중온성 전세균이 $10^{3}-10^{7}/g$, 내열성 세균이 $10^{2}~10^{4}/g$, 내산성 세균이 $10^{2}-10^{6}/g$ 정도였고, 내삼투압성 곰팡이를 포함한 곰팡이류와 대장균군도 건새우에서 $10^{2}/g$ 이상 오염되었다. 살균효과 실험에서 중온성 전세균, 내열성 세균 및 내산성 세균은 5~7 kGy 조사로 2-4 log cycles 정도 격감되었고, 7-10 kGy 조사로서 허용한계 이하로 살균되었으며, 이들의 D10값은 1.53~2.73 kGy였다. 곰팡이와 대장균군은 5~7 kGy 조사로 완전 사멸되었다. 한편 ethylene oxide 처리는 전 미생물의 살균이 불충분하였다. 이화학적 특성 즉 TBA가, TMA-N 함량, 아미노산, 무기질, 색도는 적정선량의 조사로는 무처리군과 거의 차이가 없었으나 ethylene oxide 처리군은 심한 품질의 변화를 보였다. 실온에서 3개월 저장 후 관능적 품질평가에서도 감마선 조사군이 ethylene oxide 처리 및 무처리군 보다 우수하게 나타났다.

Objective: The objective of this study was to isolate proteolytic microorganisms and evaluate their effects on proteolysis in total mixed ration (TMR) silages of soybean curd residue. Methods: TMRs were formulated with soybean curd residue, alfalfa or Leymus chinensis hay, corn meal, soybean meal, a vitamin-mineral supplement, and salt in a ratio of 25.0: 40.0:30.0:4.0:0.5:0.5, respectively, on a basis of dry matter. The microbial proteinases during ensiling were characterized, the dominate strains associated with proteolysis were identified, and their enzymatic characterization were evaluated in alfalfa (A-TMR) and Leymus chinensis (L-TMR) TMR silages containing soybean curd residue. Results: Both A-TMR and L-TMR silages were well preserved, with low pH and high lactic acid concentrations. The aerobic bacteria and yeast counts in both TMR silages decreased to about 10⁵ cfu/g fresh matter (FM) and below the detection limit, respectively. The lactic acid bacteria count increased to 10⁹ cfu/g FM. The total microbial proteinases activities reached their maximums during the early ensiling stage and then reduced in both TMR silages with fermentation prolonged. Metalloproteinase was the main proteinase when the total proteinases activities reached their maximums, and when ensiling terminated, metallo and serine proteinases played equally important parts in proteolysis in both TMR silages. Strains in the genera Curtobacterium and Paenibacillus were identified as the most dominant proteolytic bacteria in A-TMR and L-TMR, respectively, and both their proteinases were mainly with metalloproteinase characteristics. In the latter ensiling phase, Enterococcus faecium strains became the major sources of proteolytic enzymes in both TMR silages. Their proteinases were mainly of metallo and serine proteinases classes in this experiment. Conclusion: Proteolytic aerobic bacteria were substituted by proteolytic lactic acid bacteria during ensiling, and the microbial serine and metallo proteinases in these strains played leading roles in proteolysis in TMR silages.

김밥 원료 및 김밥 보존 중의 일반 호기성세균과 대장균군의 분포를 측정하고 감마선 조사에 의한 김밥의 위생성 및 보존성 개선 가능성을 살펴보았다. 김밥 원료 중 미생물 오염이 가장 큰 것은 김이었으며 비가열 채소인 오이의 오염가능성도 높았으나 실제로 김밥에 오염된 미생물의 대부분은 제조과정에서 환경으로부터 유입되었다. 김밥의 보존 중 일반세균의 생장은 밥과 계란에서 가장 높았으며 대장균군의 생장은 동물성 원료인 계란과 햄에서 현저하였다. 김밥의 감마선 조사에서 일반세균은 2kGy 이상의 선량에서 2∼4 log cycle 수준으로 감소하였으며 대장균군은 2 kGy 이상의 선량에서 대부분 사멸되었다. 감마선 조사선량에 따른 김밥의 관능평가 결과 3 kGy 조사구는 대조구에 비하여 관능적인 선호도가 현저히 낮았으며 2 kGy 조사구는 감마선 조사 직후 대조구에 비하여 다소 선호도가 낮았으나 15$^{\circ}C$에서 24시간 보존 후에도 안정적인 관능특성을 나타내었다. 따라서 김밥의 위생성 및 보존성 개선을 위하여 2 kGy의 감마선 조사가 적정 수준인 것으로 평가되었다.
