The purpose of this study was to develop the new microbial bioflocculant available in a food and fer-mentation industal. This study was reported the results of the composition for optimum culture medium and elemental characteristic of crude purification bioflocculant following the previous report(I). The maximum production of the flocculant from Bacillus megaterium was observated in the culture medium containing 2% sucrose 0.3% NaNO3 0.01% tryptone 0.01% beef extract 0.05% MgSO4 ·7 H2O 0.005% CaCO3 Addition of the sucrose as carbon sources and inorganic salt such as MgSO4, CaCO3 significantly increased the production of flocculant more than nitrogen sources. In the result of color reaction of the crude purified bioflocculant it was investgated that anthrone was positive and benedict burette and nin-hydrin was negative. These result were indicated that the flocculant produced from Bacillus megaterium was a kind of exopolysaccharide.

Among microorganisms isolated from soil, YJ-66 strain was the best producer of flocculant and was examined for flocculating ability in the active carbon and CaCl2. YJ-66 strain was the best producer of flocculant and was examined for flocculating ability in the active carbon and CaCl2. YJ-66 strain was identified to be a species belonging to the genus Achromobacter. The optimum culture condition for production of bioflocculant with the isolated strain was for 72hrs at 3$0^{\circ}C$ and pH7.5. The favorable carbon, nitrogen sources and inorganic salts for production of the flocculant were sucrose, peptone, MgSO4 and KH2PO4, whose optimal concentrations were 2%. 0.067%, 0.1% and 0.1%, respectively. Addition of the carbon and inorganic salts significantly increased the production of flocculant. Compositions of optimized culture medium for bioflocculant production by Achromobacter sp. YJ-66 were 2% sucrose, 0.067% peptone, 0.1% MgSO4 and 0.1% KH2PO4 in initial pH 7.5 during at 3$0^{\circ}C$ for 72hrs.

The culture conditions for Bacillus sp. DP-152 in the flask were investigated for the production of polysaccharide locculant, DP-152. The optimum pH and temperature for the locculant production were 8.0 and $30^{\circ}C$, respectively. The avorable substrates for flocculant production were soluble tarch and ammonium nitrate. The medium composition was optimized as follows: 30 g soluble starch, 0.75 g $NH_4NO_3,\; 2.0g\; K_2\;HPO_4,\; 0.1\; g KH_2PO_4,\; 0.2g\; MgSO_4.\; 7H_2O,\; and\; 0.2g\; MnSO_4~5H_2O$ in 11 of distilled water. Under this optimized condition, flocculating activity has been improved 4-fold compared with that of the basal medium. In the culture flask, the highest flocculating activity was obtained after 70 h of cultivation and the amount of bioflocculant DP-152 yielded was 12.4 g/$\ell$. The solution of bioflocculant DP-152 showed non-Newtonian characteristics. Bioflocculant DP-152 exhibited apparently higher viscosity at all concentrations compared to that of zooglan (from Zoogloea ramigera), and it was stable over a wide range of temperatures and pHs.

To develop bioflocculant for wastewater treatment, about 60 type culture strains and 450 strains isolated from natural sources were examined for screening their ability to flocculate the swine wastewater. Among them, YWO-5 showed the highest activity for NTU removal efficiency and was identified as Bacillus megaterium according to the cultural, morphological and physiological properties. The maximum production of the flocculant was achieved in culture medium containing 2% glucose, 0.05% soytone, 0.01% $CaCl_2$, 0.05% $KH_2PO_4$, and 0.05% yeast extract with initial pH 6.5 when cultured with rotary shaker controlled at 20$^{\circ}C$ and 150 rpm. With jar fermentor, the maximum production was reached to NTU removal efficiency of 93% after 3 days under the optimal conditions. The bioflocculant produced by Bacillus megaterium YWO-5 was effective on various suspended solids and organic wastewaters.

A bioflocculant producing bacterium for wastewater treatment was isolated and identified as Lactobacillus jensenii. The bioflocculant was supposed as a polysaccharide. Lactobacillus jensenii YW-33 produced the flocculant with highest activity in the medium composed of 2% sucrose, 0.05% tryptone, 0.5% yeast extract, 0.01% K$_{2}$HPO$_{4}$, 0.01% KH$_{2}$PO$_{4}$, 0.01% NaCl, 0.005% MnSO$_{4}$, 5H$_{2}$O and 0.2% Tween 80. The optimal culture pH and temperature were 7.0 and 25$\circ$C, respectively. In the time course of production with jar fermentor, the productivity of the flocculant was increased in proportion to the cell growth and the cultivation time for maximum production was 24 hrs, showing flocculating activity of 1,130 units per ml.

응집제를 생산하는 미생물은 토양시료로 부터 분리하여 그 중 응집활성이 높은 1 균주를 선택하여 분류학적 위치를 조사한 결과, Arcuadendrop sp.으도 동정되었으며 본 균주를 Arcuadendron sp. TS-49로 명명하였다. 응집제 생산 최적배지는 3% glucose, 0.2% yeast extract, 0.1% $NH_4Cl$, 0.05% $MnSO_4$, 0.01% $MgSO_4$ (pH 7.0)의 경우가 가장 우수하였으며, 배양 온도 및 배양 pH는 $30^{\circ}C$, pH 7.0일 때가 최적이었다. 최적 배양조건하에서 4~5일간 배양시 응집제 생산량이 최대에 도달하였으며 배양 시간의 경과와 더불어 응집활성은 급격히 감소하는 현상을 보여 생분해성이 우수함을 나타내었따. 이때의 응집제 생산량은 screening 배지에 비해 거의 10배 정도로 향상되었으며, 각종 microorganism과 suspended solid에 대한 응집작용을 검토한 결과, 정도의 차이는 있으나 모든 공시물질에 응집활성을 나타내었다.응집제의 조성을 검토하기 위해 각종 정성 test를 행한 결과, 당과 단백질이 검출되어 일종의 glycoprotein 임이 확인되었다.

Microalgae are primary producers of aquatic ecosystems, securing biodiversity and health of the ecosystem and contributing to reducing the impact of climate change through carbon dioxide fixation. Also, they are useful biomass that can be used as biological resources for producing valuable industrial products. However, harvesting process, which is the separation of microalgal biomass from mixed liquor, is an important bottleneck in use of valorization of microalgae as a bioresource accounting for 20 to 30% of the total production cost. This study investigates the applicability of sewage sludge-derived extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) as bioflucculant for harvesting microalgae. We compared the flocculation characteristics of microalgae using EPSs extracted from sewage sludge by three methods. The flocculation efficiency of microalgae is closely related to the carbohydrate and protein concentrations of EPS. Heat-extracted EPS contains the highest carbohydrate and protein concentrations and can be a best-suited bioflocculant for microalgae recovery with 87.2% flocculation efficiency. Injection of bioflocculant improved the flocculation efficiency of all three different algal strains, Chlorella Vulgaris, Chlamydomonas Asymmetrica, Scenedesmus sp., however the improvement was more significant when it was used for flocculation of Chlamydomonas Asymmetrica with flagella.

토양으로부터 분리한 120 여종의 집락 중 응집제를 생산하는 집락을 선발하고 가장 응집력이 우수한 K-67 균주를 최종 선발하여 Agrobacterium sp. KF-67로 동정하고 실험균주로 사용하였다. 응집제 생산시 최적 배지성분을 조사하기 위하여 응집활성을 kaolin과 활성탄 현탁액에서 응딥활성을 측정하였다. 최적 배지성분과 농도는 탄소원과 무기질소원은 glucose와 NH4NO3 각각 2%와 0.1%, 유기질소원은 yeast extract와 peptone 각 0.01%, 무기염으로 CaCO3을 0.04%를 첨가하였을 때 응집활성이 가장 우수하였다. 배지 중 0.03% NaCl 첨가로 약 19%의 응집활성을 향상시킬 수 있었다. 이상과 같은 결과로 볼 때 Agrobacterium sp.에 의한 응집제 생산시 최적배지의 성분 조성과 함량은 2% glucose, 0.1% NH4NO3, 0.01% yeast extract, 0.01% peptone, 0.04% CaCO3, 0.03% NaCl이었고, 이때 기초배지에 비해 약 76.1%의 응집활성력이 증가하여 응집제 생산에 효과적인 배지성분 조건으로 조사되었다.
