The effect of the addition of wheat bran to the growth medium on the production of cellulolytic enzymes of Trichoderma reesei Rut C30 was studied in batch culture using shake flasks. The activity of cellulase was enhanced by the addition of wheat bran to the cellulase production medium. $KH_2PO_4$-$K_2HPO_4$ buffer was used for pH control during cellulase production. As a result, high cellulase activities were obtained in shake flask culture; a CMC (carboxymethyl cellulose) activity of 125.78 U/ml was obtained from 2% Avicel- and 3% wheat bran-containing medium and an FP (filter paper) activity of 12.85U/ml was obtained from 1% Avicel- and 5% wheat bran-containing medium after 6 days of cultivation.

Acremonium chrysogenum was immobilized in ionotropic gel beads to develop semi-continuous production of cephalosporin C (CPC). Barium alginate beads were more stable than calcium alginate or strontium alginate beads in chemically defined media. The gel stability of Ba-alginate was further increased by cross-linking with polyethyleneimine (PEI). The presence of carboxymethyl cellulose inside Ba-alginate beads did not reduce mass transfer resistance. Ba-alginate microbeads that had little diffusion limitation increased CPC production rate 1.6 fold higher than that of normal beads. CPC fermentation with immobilized cells in Ba-alginate microbeads was performed continuously for 40 days by way of repeated fed-batch operations. Mathematical modeling was developed to describe the repeated fed-batch fermentation system. Results of the computer simulation agreed well with the experimental data, which made it possible to predict an optimal feeding rate that could maximize total CPC productions.

The effects of water soluble materials in paper mill sludge on cellulase and $\beta$-glucosidase activities were studied while the optimization of enzyme system for hydrolysis of the paper mill sludge for production of glucose was made. Water soluble materials in the paper mill sludge showed stimulatory effect on carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) activity, inhibitory effect on filter paper (FP) activity, and no effect on avicelase and $\beta$-glucosidase activities. CMC and ${\beta}$-glucosidase activities at 5 and 10, 5 or 10 and 10, and 10 and 10 U/ml were optimal for hydrolysis of 5, 10, and 20% of the paper mill sludge, respectively.

Si-Mg 첨가물, LiOH, NaOH로부터 제조한 슬러리의 수열반응으로 헥토라이트 점토를 합성하였다. 수열합성의 온도와 반응시간에 따른 합성헥토라이트 점토의 화학적 조성과 결정형태를 조사하였고, 합성헥토라이트 0.2~1.0% 수분산액의 투과도와 입경을 UV-VIS 분광광도계와 투과전자현미경으로 각각 측정하였다. 합성헥토라이트 수분산액의 투과도와 유동성은 25$0^{\circ}C$, 6시간의 합성조건과 Si/Mg/Li/Na=8.0/5.4/0.6/0.6의 조성에서 최대치를 나타내었고, Mg/Si=5.4/8.0의 슬러리 조성으로부터 합성된 헥토라이트(Hec-6)가 최적의 투명성과 용액점도를 나타내었다. 또한 Hec-6의 수분산액은 높은 전단력에서 낮은 점도의 졸상으로 전화됨으로서 요변성을 나타내었고, 1.0% Hec-6/sodium carboxymethyl cellulose(50/50) 혼합용액은 전단력이 1.0 s$^{-1}$ 이상에서 1.0% Hec-6 수분산액보다 더욱 높은 점도를 나타냄으로서 점도의 상승효과가 나타났다.

A xylanase from the Bacillus sp. strain DSNC 101, isolated from soil, was purified to homogeneity by anion-exchange and hydrophobic interaction chromatography followed by gel filtration chromatography. The enzyme cleaved xylan, but not carboxymethyl cellulose, Avicel, soluble starch, and pNPX. The main product of oat spelts xylan hydrolysates was xylobiose. The xylanase had a molecular weight of 25 kDa determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Optimum temperature and pH for the xylanase activity were $50^{\circ}C$ and 6.0, respectively. $K_{m}\;and\;V_{max}$ of the enzyme for oat spelts xylan were 12.5 mg of xylan/ml and 869.5 unit/mg of protein, respectively. Xylanase was completely inhibited by Hg, Cu, and N-bromosuccinimide, but was stimulated by Ca, Co, and Mg.

Horikoshi등이 호 alkali 성 미생물에 관한 연구에서 분리한 수종의 cellulolytic bacteria중에서 가장 강력한 균체의 효소를 생산하는 Aeromonas 속 세균의 cellulolytic 효소에 관한 연구 결과를 보고한다. 공업적으로 생산된 효소를 사용하여 효소작용의 최적조건을 측정하고 gel filtration, ion-exchange chromatography 및 affinity chromatography 로 cel-luplytic 효소를 분리정제하였다. 본 효소의 활성 최적 pH는 7.0~8.5로 alkaline 효소였으며 반응온도 5$0^{\circ}C$에서 가장 강한 활성을 보였다. 분리 정제과정에서 carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC)에 대하여 활성이 있는 단백질이 최소 8종이상 분리되었으며 이중 1개 효소는 CMC에 대해서는 극히 낮은 활성을 보였으나 결정성 기질인 Avicel 에는 강한 활성을 보였다. 본 연구의 결과를 Cellulomonas속 세균 및 Trichoderma속 곰팡이의 효소와 그 성질을 비교 검토하였다.

Biocompatible and biodegradable hydrogels based on carboxymethyl cellulose(CMC) and polyethyleneglycol(PEG) were prepared far physical barriers for preventing surgical adhesions. These interpolymeric hydrogels were synthesized by a gamma irradiation crosslinking technique. The 1Scmxl.Scm of cecal serosa and adjacent abdominal wail were abraded with bane burr until tbe serosal surface was disrupted and hemorrhagic but not perforated. and the serosa of tbe cecum was sutured to the abdominal wall in 5mm apart from the injured sire. The denuded cecum was covered with either CMC/PEG hydrogels or solution from CMC/PEG hydrogel. Control rat serosa was not covered. Two weeks later. the rats were sacrificed and adhesion was scored on a 0-5 scale. No treatment showed the significantly higher incidence of adhesions than either CMC/BEC hydrogels or solution from CMC/PEG hydrogel. In conclusion, these studies demonstrate that CMC/BEG hydrogels have a function of prevention of intra abdominal adhesion in a rat model.

The paper concerns an experimental study of fully developed laminar flow of a Newtonian and non-Newtonian liquid in concentric annuli with combined bulk axial flow and inner cylinder rotation. Pressure losses and skin friction coefficients have been measured for Newtonian fluid, water and non-Newtonian fluids, 0.2% aqueous of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and 5% bentonite solutions, when the inner cylinder rotates at the speed of $0{\sim}500$ rpm. The influences of rotation, radius ratio and working fluid on the annular flow field are investigated. And the new correlations among the skin friction coefficient, the Reynolds number and the Rossby number are presented with reasonable limits of accuracy in laminar flow regime.

Mycelial growth of ectomycorrhizal fungi (27 strains of 8 species) collected from Korean forests was observed on various culture conditions (media, temperature, pHs). After 60 days of incubation, all strains grown on potato dextrose agar (PDA) and modified Melin-Norkran's agar (MMNA), whereas no mycelial growth was observed on malt extract agar (MEA) or sabouraud dextrose agar (SDA) in some strains including Tricholoma matsutake. Mycelial growth on PDA was poor at high temperature ($30^{\circ}C$) than the low temperature ($10^{\circ}C$). The optimal temperature on PDA and pH in potato dextrose broth (PDB) for mycelial growth in most strains were $20-25^{\circ}C$ and pH 4-5, respectively. All strains tested showed the carboxymethyl cellulase (CM-cellulase) activity and the maximal cellullase activity was expressed by the mycelium of T. matsutake (KFRI 1266) on the CMC agar plate with pH 5.0.

In this research, hematite nanoparticles were synthesized by DC thermal plasma process to increase the overall surface area. The effect of binders on hematite electrodes was investigated by changing the type and composition of binders when preparing electrodes. Nitrogen gas was also added to the DC thermal plasma process in order to dope the hematite with N for enhancing photoelectrochemical properties of hematite nanoparticles. The efficiency of water splitting reaction was measured by linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) under solar simulator. In LSV measurements, the onset potential and maximum current density at a fixed voltage were measured. The durability of electrodes was checked by repeating LSV measurements. CMC (carboxymethyl cellulose) binder with 50 : 1 composition exhibits the highest current density of $12mA/cm^2$ and CMC binder with 20 : 1 composition, showing the initial current density of $3mA/cm^2$, endures 20 times of repetitive LSV measurements. Effects of nitrogen doping on hematite nanoparticles were proven to be insignificant.
