The purpose of this study is to develop multi-functional fabrics by chitosan added on acrylic acid grafted cotton kintted fabrics. Therefore physical properties such as antimicrobial activity, deodorization rate, moisture regain, whiteness, and tensile strength of chitosan added on acrylic acid grafted cotton kintted fabrics were investigated. The results are as follows; According to increased chitosan's concentration, grafting yield was decreased. Therefore thickness of film by treated chitosan added on acrylic acid grafted cotton kintted fabric became thin. FT-IR spectra of chitosan add on acrylic acid grafted cotton kintted fabric clearly showed peaks of COOH and NH$_2$. Antimicrobial activity and deodorization rate of chitosan add on acrylic acid grafted cotton kintted fabrics were increased greatly than untreated. And their durability of laundry were good, Moisture regain of treated fabrics was higher than untreated. Whiteness and tensile strength of treated fabrics were lower than untreated.

The marine actinomycetes are very interesting microorganisms for finding of new antibiotics, because they are inhabited in marine environmental conditions, such as salinity, organic material and low concentration of nutrient components that are differ from those of land. In this study, the actinomycetes producing antibiotics from sea waters and bottom deposit samples collected at east coast of Korea were investigated to invent new antibiotics. Nine actinomycetes strains having the antimicrobial activity of 431 actinomycetes were selected from sea waters and bottom deposit samples. Among the 9 strains, the strain having the highest antimicrobial activity was classified to Streptomyces sp. and named Streptomyces sp. NS 13239.

In previous study, marine actinomycetes producing the antibiotics were investigated to invent new antibiotics from east coast of Korea. The optimum growth conditions of Streptomyces sp. NS 13239 were $28^{\circ}C$, pH 7.0 and $3\%$ of NaCl concentration in various media. Streptomyces sp. NS 13239 showed strong antimicrobial activity against gram-positive bacteria, specially Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), but just weak antimicrobial activity against yeasts and mold. On the other hand, it did not show antimicrobial activity against gram-negative bacteria. The optimum conditions for producing antibiotics were almost consistent with optimum growth conditions except carbon source and nitrogen source.

In this study, Artemisia capillaries, which has been used as a folk remedy, was investigated for its antimicrobial activity. First, the Aremisia capillaris was extracted with methanol at room temperature, and fractionation of the methanol extracts from Artemisia capillaris was carried out using petroleum ether, chloroform, and ethyl acetate. Second, the antimicrobial activity of the Artemisia capillaris extracts was determined using a paper disc method and minimum inhibitory concentration of ethyl acetate extracts from Artemisia capillaris against food-borne pathogens and food spoilage bacteria was measured. Finally, the growth inhibition curve was determined using ethyl acetate extracts of Artemisia capillaris against Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella typhimurium. The ethyl acetate extract of Artemisia capillaris showed strong antimicrobial activity against S. typhimurium at a concentration of 1,000 ppm. The 3,000 ppm of ethyl acetate extract from Artemisia capillaris retarded the growth of S. aureus and S. typhimurium for up to 6 hours.

The purpose of this study is to develop multifunctional fabric that was improved antimicrobial activity and reduction rate of gas by treatment of mixture that was blended chito colla ad crosslinking material for Nylon. Antimicrobial activity was proved 99% reduction rat of gas in case of treated was icreased. The surface of treated fiber noted harshness and irregularity. Whiteness of treated on the baking condition was decreased as time and temperature was increased. Air permeability and moisure regain of treated equally was maintained. Water absorption and static voltage of treated were increased. KOSHI and T.H.V. of treated was increased than that of untreated B/W of treated was improved that, that of untreated and 2HB/B. W/T of treated were reduced.

The purpose of this study is to develop multifunctional fabric that has improved antimicrobial activity and reduction rate of gas by treatment of mixture of chito colla and crosslinking material for polyester. The surface morphology of treated PET fabric was studied by scanning electron microscopy(SEM). The properties of the PET fabric, such as antimicrobial activity, whiteness, moisture regain, water absorption and static voltage, and handle were investigated. Antimicrobial activity of treated PET fabric was proved 99%. The surface of treated PET fabric showed harshness and irregularity. The whiteness of treated PET fabric on the baking condition was decreased as time and temperature was increased. The moisure regain of treated PET fabric equally was maintained. Water absorption and static voltage of treated PET fabric were improved. KOSHI of treated PET fabric was increased compared with the untreated PET fabric H/W of treated PET fabric was improved compared with the untreated PET fabric and 2HB/B of treated PET fabric were reduced.

In this work, synthesis, characterization and antimicrobial activity of series of imidazolines-oxazolines scaffolds 5a-f and 10a-d have been investigated. All the imidazolines-oxazolines derivatives were prepared from acid derivatives 1 and 6a-c, and enantiomerically pure (S)-2-amino-3-methyl-1-butanol in four steps with excellent optical purity. The structures of all newly synthesized compounds have been elucidated by $^1H$, $^{13}C$ NMR, GCMS, and IR spectrometry. Their purity was confirmed using elemental analysis. Some newly synthesized compounds were examined to in-vitro antimicrobial activity. Among the prepared products 10d was found to exhibits the most active against all tested bacteria and fungi with minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) ranged between 21.9 and $42.6{\mu}g/mL$.

In this study, Perilla frutescens wh~ch has been used as a folk remedy was investigated its antimicrobial activity. First, the Perilla frutescens was extracted with methanol at room temperatures, and fractionation of the methanol extracts from Perilla frutescens was carried out by using petroleum ether, chloroform, and ethyl acetate, respectively. The antimicrobial activity. of the. Perilla frutescens extracts was determined using a paper disc method and the growth inhibition curve was determined using methanol extracts of Perilla frutescens against Salmonella enteritidis and Bacillus cereus. The methanol extract of Perilla frutescens showed strong antimicrobial activity against Bacillus cereus at the concentration of 1.000 ppm. The 4,000 ppm of methanol extract from Perilla frutescens. retarded the growth of S. enteritidis and Bacillus cereus up to 72 hours.

Dyeability and antimicrobial activity of Saururus chinensis on to silk and cotton fabrics has been studied. The dyestuff was extracted with distilled water. Silk fabric showed higher K/S value than cotton fabric at the same condition. And with the simmordanting by Fe, Cu gave good improvements of the K/S values. Surface color of dyed fabrics was various according to the used mordants: Cr mordanted fabric was to be cleared, Fe mordanted fabric was the greatest color difference. The fastness was significantly improved in mordanting. The Fe, Cu mordanted silk fabrics was the greatest antimicrobial activity.

Dyeing properties of rosemary colorants on cotton fabrics were investigated. Effect of dyeing conditions on dye uptake and effect of mordanting and cationizing on dye uptake, color change and colorfastness were explored. Also, antimicrobial activity of rosemary colorants was ascertained and further effect of cationizing on antimicrobial activity was investigated. Affinity of rosemary colorants to cotton fiber was considerably low, and its isotherm adsorption curve was Freundlich type, indicating that hydrogen bonding was involved in the adsorption of rosemary colorants to cotton fiber. The cotton fabrics showed generally high colorfastness except fastness to washing and light. The cationized cotton with Cationon UK(quarterly ammonium salt) showed higher dye uptake and shorter dyeing time, compared with the untreated cotton. The cationized cotton showed good colorfastness to washing, perspiration and rubbing. Antimicrobial activity of rosemary colorfastness was confirmed. The cationized cotton itself showed high bacterial reduction rate. For cationized and dyed samples, as dye uptake increased, bacterial reduction rate was decreased slightly.
