A denitrifying polyphosphate-accumulating bacterium (YKP-9) was isolated from activated sludge of a 5-stage biological nutrient removal process with step feed system. This organism was a Gram-negative, coccus-shaped, facultative aerobic chemoorganotroph. It had a respiratory type of metabolism with oxygen, nitrate, and nitrite as terminal electron acceptors. The 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain YKP-9 was most similar to the 16S rRNA gene sequence of Paracoccus sp. OL18 (AY312056) (similarity level, 97%). Denitrifying polyphosphate accumulation by strain YKP-9 was examined under anaerobic-anoxic and anaerobic-oxic batch conditions. It was able to use external carbon sources for polyhydroxyalkanoates(PHA) synthesis and to release phosphate under anaerobic condition. It accumulated polyphosphate and grew a little on energy provided by external carbon sources under anoxic condition, but did neither accumulate polyphosphate nor grow in the absence of external carbon sources under anoxic condition. Cells with intracellular PHA cannot accumulate polyphosphate in the absence of external carbon sources under anoxic condition. Under oxic condition, it grew but could not accumulate polyphosphate with external carbon sources. Based on the results from this study, strain YKP-9 is a new-type denitrifying polyphosphate-accumulating bacterium that accumulates polyphosphate only under anoxic condition, with nitrate and nitrite as the electron acceptors in the presence of external carbon sources.

본 연구에서는 다양한 호기/혐기조건에서 유류오염물질인 및 MTBE의 생분해 특성을 비교하고, 특히 탈질 조건에서 질산염 영향을 조사하여 유류오염지역의 혐기적 자연정화방법의 적용 가능성을 평가하고자 한다. 단일기질 및 혼합기질 분해실험 결과, BTEX는 3가지 실험조건에서 차이는 있었으나 모두 분해가 일어났다. 그러나 benzene과 p-xylene은 호기성 조건에서 초기 공급된 용존 산소의 부족으로 인하여 분해가 지연되는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 혼합기질에서는 단일기질에 비해 BTEX 분해가 기질 경쟁관계로 인해 다소 지연되는 경향이 관찰되었다. MTBE는 탈질 조건에서만 생분해가 관찰되었으나, TBA 축적 없이 $CO_2$로 무기화되는 것으로 추정된다. 또한 BTEX 및 MTBE 분해에 대한 질산염 농도의 영향 실험 결과, 저농도(>50 mg/L)에서 BTEX 분해는 제한되었으며, 고농도 질산염(<200 mg/L) 조건하에서는 BTEX 분해가 억제되는 현상이 관찰되었다. 본 연구에서 도출된 결과는 유류오염지역의 경우 호기/혐기성 조건에서 자연 생분해를 유도할 수 있을 것으로 예상된다.

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, an experiment was conducted on influent water with low concentrations of organic matter, such as river water or secondary treatment water of a sewage treatment plant, according to HRT changes by using aerobic biofilm. In the biofilm process, as the biofilm increases in thickness, the inner membrane can be low in oxygen transfer rate and become anaerobic conditions, while the detachment of biomass from biofilm occurs. To overcome these limitations in the detachment of microorganisms in biofilm, the yarn, which was made from poly propylene(PP), was weaved and manufactured into a tube. Then, a test was carried out by injecting air so that the interior of the biofilm could create aerobic conditions. The results of the experiment showed that the removal efficiency of $TCOD_{cr}$ reached 66.1~81.2% by HRT 2hr, and 50.9 ~61.8% after HRT 1 hr. The removal efficiency of $SCOD_{cr}$ was 45.9 to 55.1% by HRT 1hr, and 26.1% in HRT 0.5hr, showing the highest removal efficiency in HRT 1hr. The SS removal efficiency was at 81.8 to 94.6%, and the effluent SS concentration was very low, indicating less than 2.2 mg/L in all HRT's. As a result, the $SCOD_{cr}$ and $NH_4{^+}$-N that were removed per specific surface area and attached to microbial biofilm showed the highest efficiency in HRT 1hr with 8.37 $gSCOD_{cr}/m^2{\cdot}d$, 2.93 $gNH_4{^+}-N/m^2{\cdot}d$. From the result of reviewing the characteristics of biofilm growth, microorganisms were found to be attached, and increased by 36 days. Later, they decreased in number through detachment, but showed a tendency to increase again 41 days later due to microbial reproduction.

The thiosulfate reductase gene (PhsABC) from Salmonella typhimurium was expressed in Escherichia coli in order to produce sulfide from inorganic thiosulfate and precipitate metals as metal sulfide complexes. A 5.1-kb DNA fragment containing the native phsABC and a 3.7-kb DNA fragment, excluding putative promoter and regulatory regions were inserted into expression vectors pTrc99A and pJB866, respectively. Upon expression of phsABC, E. coli DH5$\alpha$ harboring the phsABC constructs showed higher thiosulfate reductase activity and produced significantly more sulfide than the control strain (E. coli DH5$\alpha$) under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions. Among the four constructs, E. coli DH5$\alpha$ harboring pSB74 produced the highest level of thiosulfate reductase and removed most of heavy metals from solution under anaerobic conditions. In a mixture of 100 $\mu$M each of cadmium, lead, and zinc, the strain could remove $99\%$ of the total metals from solution within 10 hours. Cadmium was removed first, lead second, and zinc last. In contrast, a negative control did not produce any measurable sulfide and removed very little metals from solution. These results have important implications for removal of metals from wastewater contaminated with several metals.

본 연구에서는 산업폐수로부터 분리한 3가지 종의 인 제거율을 확인하였다. 3 가지 분리된 균을 동정한 결과 A1균은 Stenotrophomonas maltophilia strain CUPS 3, A2균은 Rhodococcus erythropolis strain Sco-C01, A3균은 Bacillus sp. 3434BRRJ이었다. 3 가지 분리된 균의 인 제거 및 경유분해를 확인한 결과 인 제거율은 Bacillus sp. 3434BRRJ > Stenotrophomonas maltophilia strain CUPS균 > Rhodococcus erythropolis strain Sco-C01균 순으로 높은 것으로 나타났으며 제거율은 약 99%, 50%, 20%로 확인되었다. 따라서 이 후 실험은 인 제거율이 가장 높았던 Bacillus sp. 3434BRRJ를 가지고 실험하였다. Bacillus sp. 3434BRRJ의 인 제거를 확인하기 위하여 온도별(15, 25 그리고 $30^{\circ}C$), 인 농도별(20, 30 그리고 40 mg/L) 그리고 산소조건(호기, 혐기/호기조건) 및 탄소원을 달리하여 실험하였다. 그 결과Bacillus sp. 3434BRRJ는 $30^{\circ}C$에서 인 제거가 가장 좋았으며 20 mg/L의 인은 약 99% 처리하였고 혐기조건을 거치고 탄소원으로 acetate와 glucose를 혼합하여 처리하였을 때 가장 효율이 좋은 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서는 Bacillus sp. 3434BRRJ의 인 제거를 확인 하였다. 균의 생장이 높을수록 인의 제거율은 높았으며, 미생물을 이용한 환경오염물질의 제거에 있어서 가장 중요한 것은 미생물의 활성을 높이는 환경조건을 제공하는 것이다.

Bacillus species predominantly outgrown in a night soil treatment system were isolated and characterized. Cell interactions took place among them and cell population changed under various culture conditions. Maximum removal of $NH_4\;^+-N$ and cell production occurred under the conditions of 30% DO and C/N ratio of 8. Additions of 0.8% peptone and 0.3% yeast extract to a basal medium influenced the growth of isolates and the removal of $NH_4\;^+-N$ in flask culture, and metal ions such as Ca, Fe and Mg also did. During the flask experiment of nitrogen removal under an aerobic condition, active nitrification by the isolates occurred largely in 1 h with the decrease of COD and alkalinity destructed was only 74.6% of theoretical value. From the nitrogen balance, the percentage of nitrogen lost in the flask culture was estimated to be 29.0%. This conversion of ammonia to $N_2$ under an aerobic condition was confirmed by GC analysis. The B3 process using the Bacillus species seemed to have some economic advantage.

Nano-sized iron particles were synthesized by reduction of $Fe^{3+}$ in aqueous solution under two reaction conditions, aerobic and anaerobic, and the reactivity of iron was tested by reaction with trichloroethene (TCE) using a batch system. Results showed that iron produced under anoxic condition for both synthesis and drying steps gave rise to iron with higher reduction reactivity, indicating the presence of oxygen is not favorable for production of nano-sized iron deemed to accomplish reactivity enhancement from particle sized reduction. Nano-sized iron sample obtained from the anoxic synthesis condition was further characterized using various instrumental measurements to identity particle morphology, composition, surface area, and particle size distribution. The scanning electron microscopic (SEM) image showed that synthesized particles were uniform, spherical particles (< 100 nm), and aggregated into various chain structures. The effects of other synthesis conditions such as solution pH, initial $Fe^{3+}$ concentration, and reductant injection rate on the reactivity of nano-sized iron, along with standardization of the synthesis protocol, are presented in the companion paper.

본 실험에서는 균주의 특성에 따른 유산균수 시험방법의 적합 여부를 알아보기 위해 액상요구르트 제품들을 유효기간 중 여러 실험조건으로 비교 검토하였다. 비교한 실험조건은 배지(BCP, Elliker agar), 배양상태(aerobic, anaerobic), 희석수(saline, phosphate buffer), 희석방법 (10배, 100배)이었으며 $37^{\circ}C$에서 72시간 배양하였다. L. acidophilus 균주를 사용한 액상요구르트의 경우, 배지와 희석방법에 따른 차이는 거의 없었고 희석수와 배양상태에서는 약간의 차이가 있었다. L. jugurti 균주와 L. acidophilus +L. casei 혼합균주의 생우 배지 배양상태, 희석수에서 차이가 있었고 희석방법에는 거의 차이가 없었다. L. casei의 경우 배지, 희석방법에서 약간의 차이를 나타했으며 배양상태는 유산균수에 영향이 없었다. L. bulgaricus의 경우는 배지, 배양상태, 희석방법에 따라 차이가 있었고 희석수는 차이가 없었다. 그러므로 요구르트의 유산균수 측정은 균주의 종류에 따라 가장 좋은 실험조건을 선택하여 실시하는 것이 효과적인 시험방법으로 사료된다.
