Arthrobacter chlorophenolicus A6 possesses several monooxygenases (CphC-I, CphC-II, and CphB) that can catalyze the transformation of 4-chlorophenol (4-CP) to hydroxylated intermediates in the initial steps of substrate metabolism. The corresponding genes of the monooxygenases were cloned, and the competent cells were transformed with these recombinant plasmids. Although CphC-II and CphB were expressed as insoluble forms, CphC-I was successfully expressed as a soluble form and isolated by purification. The specific activity of the purified CphC-I was analyzed by using 4-CP, 4-chlorocatechol (4-CC), and catechol (CAT) as substrates. The specific activities for 4-CP, 4-CC, and CAT were determined to be 0.312 U/mg, 0.462 U/mg, 0.246 U/mg, respectively. The results of this study indicated that CphC-I is able to catalyze the degradation of 4-CC and CAT in addition to 4-CP, which is a primary substrate. This research is expected to provide the fundamental information for the development of an eco-friendly biochemical degradation of aromatic hydrocarbons.

This study investigated the transformation of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in a free-water surface flow constructed wetland. Pyrolysis gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (Py-GC/MS) coupled with preparative high-performance liquid chromatography (prep-HPLC) was used to analyze the compositions of biopolymers (polysaccharides, amino sugars, proteins, polyhydroxy aromatics, lipids and lignin) in DOM according to the molecular size at three sampling points of the water flow: inflow, midflow, and outflow. The prep-HPLC results verified the decomposition of DOM through the decrease in the number of peaks from three to one in the chromatograms of the sampling points. The Py-GC/MS results for the degradable peaks indicated that biopolymers relating to polysaccharides and proteins gradually biodegraded with the water flow. On the other hand, the recalcitrant organic fraction (the remaining peak) in the outflow showed a relatively high concentration of aromatic compounds. Therefore, the ecological processes in the constructed wetland caused DOM to become more aromatic and homogeneous. This indicated that the constructed wetland can be an effective buffer area for releasing biochemically stable DOM, which has less influence on biological water quality indicators, e.g., biochemical oxygen demand, into an aquatic ecosystem.

The term "hangover" refers to symptoms such as headache, heartburn, nausea, and dizziness caused by acetaldehyde created through alcohol decomposition in the body after alcohol intake. Many scientists have conducted research on diverse drugs, foods, and medicinal herbs aimed at eliminating hangovers. However, research on metabolism to objectively verify or measure their effects on hangover symptoms has been lacking. Accordingly, in this study, deep sea water minerals were administered orally at varying concentrations to rats that consumed alcohol, and changes in the levels of amino acids in their bodies were measured using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy to gauge the minerals' effects on hangover symptoms. Thus far, biochemical research on hangover cures has been confined to basic research measuring changes in the levels of alcohol dehydrogenase and acetaldehyde dehydrogenase as well as in the concentrations of ethanol, acetaldehyde, and acetate using spectroscopes such as enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kits or gas chromatography-mass spectrometers. In comparison, this study presents pharmacokinetic research that simultaneously tracked biomaterials including amino acids and organic acids, metabolites associated with hangover, to clarify hangover mechanisms more specifically. In addition, this study examined hangover mechanisms without an external supply of tracked materials not overlapping with alcohol metabolism-related materials, such as external amino acids and sugars.

The physical and chemical changes exhibited by high density polyethylene (HDPE) after treatment with hydrogen at a pressure of 90 MPa followed by rapid release of the hydrogen were studied. X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry, thermo gravimetric analysis, and attenuated total reflectance (ATR)-fourier transform infrared (FTIR) were used for this purpose. As a result, it was found that the degree of crystallinity of HDPE decreased after hydrogen pressure treatment, while the average thickness of lamellae that constitute the crystals and the melting temperature of the crystalline region actually increased. The decomposition temperature also increased by about 3℃. In addition, it was found that the hydrogen bonding network between -OH groups in the HDPE sample was strengthened and partial chain scission occurred. These cut chains were found to be terminated by oxidative degradation such as cross-linking between chains, -C=O, -C-O, and -CHO, or by the formation of -CH₃ at the chain ends, as confirmed by ATR-FTIR.

본 연구에서는 복막 투석 시스템에 있어서, 요소를 가수분해 후 발생하는 암모니아를 제거하기 위하여, 방사선 그라프트 중합법에 의해 다공성 중공사막에 술폰산기($SO_3H$)를 도입시킨 양이온 교환막(이때 얻어진 막을 SS막이라 함)을 합성하였다. 여기에 금속이온(Cu, Ni, Zn)을 이용하여 그라프트 체인을 가교시킨 이온가교형 양이온 교환막(이때 얻어진 막을 SS-M막이라 함)을 합성하여, SS막과 SS-M막의 투과 유속과 암모니아의 흡착에 대하여 고찰하였다. 술폰산기 밀도에 따라 순수투과 유속은 술폰산기 밀도가 높아짐에 따라 투과 유속이 급격히 감소하였으나, 금속 이온이 도입됨에 따라, 투과 유속이 빨라진다는 것을 알 수 있었다. SS막의 경우 암모니아 흡착은 이온교환기 용량에 따라 1 : 1로 흡착되었고, SS-M막 보다 높은 흡착량을 나타났다. 또한, SS막, SS-M막 모두 pH 9에서 가장 높은 흡착량을 나타냈다.

산분해 대두 단백질로 부터 식품 보존료인 p-hydroxybenzoic acid butyl ester를 분해하고, esterase 활성을 갖는 균주들을 분리, 동정하여 그들의 생육 및 효소 생성 특징을 조사하였다. 분리된 균주들은 전부 Baillus sp. 로 동정되었으며, specific growth rate는 균주에 따라 $0.844{\sim}1.213\;h^{-1}$였으며, esterase activity 는 Baillus sp. KB8 균주가 222 mU/ml로 대비균주인 B. subtilis ATCC6633의 21 mU/ml보다 10배 높은 활성을 보였으나 p-hydroxybenzoic acid butyl ester 분해 활성도는 $5.4{\sim}8.1\;mU/ml$로 균주에 따른 큰 차이는 볼 수 없었다. Baillus sp. KB8 균주의 배양시 NaCl 첨가는 생육을 저해시키며, esterase의 세포외 축적과 세포내 합성을 억제시키는 것으로 나타났으며, 특히 NaCl 첨가 농도의 증가는 세포외 축적을 더 억제시키는 것으로 나타났다. 플라스크 배양실험 결과 Baillus sp. KB8 균주의 효소 생성은 생육이 stationary phase 이후 점차 증가하여 배양 64시간에 420 mU/ml를 생성하였다. 온도에 대한 esterase의 활성은 $50^{\circ}C$에서 30분간 실활없이 유지되었으나 $70^{\circ}C$에서는 전부 실활되었다. $60^{\circ}C$와 $65^{\circ}C$ 에서의 효소 활성은 노출 시간에 따라 지수적인 실활 경향을 보여 3시간 후 $60^{\circ}C$에서 76%, $65^{\circ}C$에서는 3%의 잔존 효소활성을 보였다.

This survey was conducted to obtain basic data about organic matter such as BOD (Biochemical Oxygen Demand), COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand), DOC (Dissolved Organic Carbon) and TOC (Total Organic Carbon) in agricultural water in Gyeongnam province. BOD and COD are currently used for water quality indices, but adoption of TOC is being suggested. The surface water samples were collected at 39 locations in Gyeongnam province in April, July and October. Average concentrations of BOD, COD, DOC and TOC were 1.6, 3.3, 5.3 and $5.7mg\;L^{-1}$, respectively. In July, average concentrations of BOD and COD were 2.4 and $3.9mg\;L^{-1}$, respectively, showing these values were higher than other months. Average concentrations of TOC in April, July and October were 4.8, 7.4 and $4.8mg\;L^{-1}$, respectively. This suggested that the highest value of TOC was in July. Average decomposition efficiencies for BOD-C/TOC and COD-C/TOC were 11.4 and 23.9%, respectively. Correlation coefficient of TOC and DOC was higher by 0.995, whereas that of TOC and COD was lower by 0.763. Especially, TOC and DOC were highly related than others.

Abstract Spirulina platensis was grown in SWlUe waste to reduce inorganic compowlds and simultaneously produce feed resources. Spirulina platensis prefers nitrogenous compounds in Ibe order: $NH_4^{+}-N>NO_3^{-}-N>simple-N$ such as urea and simple amino acids. It even consumes $NH_4^{+}-N$ first when urea or nitrate are present. Therefore, the content of residual $NH_4^{+}-N$ in Spimlina platensis cultures can be determined by the relative extent of the following processes: (i) algal uptake and assimilation; (ii) ammonia stripping; and (iii) decomposition of urea to NH;-N by urease-positive bacteria. The removal rates of total nitrogen ffild total phosphorus were estimated as an indicator of the treatment effIciency. It was found that Spirulina platensis was able to reduce 70-93% of $P_4^{3-}-P$, 67-93% of inorganic nitrogen, 80-90% of COD, and 37-56% of organic nitrogen in various concentrations of swine waste over 12 days of batch cultivation. The removal of inorganic compounds from swine waste was mainly used for cell growth, however, the organic nitrogen removal was not related to cell growlb. A maximum cell density of 1.52 dry-g/l was maintained with a dilution rate of 0.2l/day in continuous cultivation by adding 30% swine waste. The nitrogen and phosphorus removal rates were correlated to the dilution rates. Based on the amino acid profile, the quality of the proteins in the Spirulina platensis grown in the waste was the same as that in a clean culture.ulture.

설폰화시킨 poly(etheretherketone)(sPEEK)막의 전해질 특성을 향상시키기 위하여 sPEEK에 imidazole과 무기물인 phosphotungstic acid(PWA)를 첨가하고 용액주조법을 이용하여 복합막을 제조하였다. TGA분석을 통하여 산-염기 상호작용에 의한 물리적 가교결합이 복합막의 설폰산그룹 분해에 대한 열저항성을 향상시키고 PWA의 첨가는 복합막의 열분해에 대한 저항성을 향상시키는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 산-염기 상호작용은 sPEEK/imidazole 복합막의 함수율과 양이온전도도 및 메탄올 투과도를 감소시켰는데 이것은 물리적 가교결합이 복합막을 견고하게 만들기 때문이다. PWA는 sPEEK/imidazole/PWA 복합막의 함수율과 메탄올 투과도는 감소시켰지만 양이온전도를 향상시켰다. 따라서 PWA는 복합막의 선택도를 향상시키는 효과를 나타내었다.
