A continuous fermentation system employing immobilized cells of Zymomonas mobilis and Saccharomyces cerevisiae was studied for the mass production of ethanol. Ethanol production by cells immobilized with Ca-alginate was better than those by cells immobilized with K-carrageenan. Maximum ethanol production employing a continuous system by cells immobilized with Ca-alginate was 77.5 $g.l^{-1}h^{-1}$ at a dilution rate of 1.85 $h^{-1}$ with 82% conversion rate for Z. mobilis while that was 40.2 $g.l^{-1}h^{-1}$ at a dilution rate of 0.92 $h^{-1}$ with 85% conversion rate for S. cerevisiae. These results suggest that Ca-alginate is a better cell immobilization matrix than K-carrageenan and that immobilized cells of Z. mobilis are more efficient than S. cerevisiae for ethanol production.

We isolated Lactobacillus mucosae NK41 and Bifidobacterium longum NK46 from human feces, which induced BDNF expression in corticosterone-stimulated SH-SY5Y cells, and examined their anti-depressive effects in mice. NK41, NK46, and their (1:1) mixture significantly mitigated immobilization stress (IS)-induced anxiety-like/depressive behaviors, hippocampal $NF-{\kappa}B$ activation, BDNF expression, $Iba1^+$ cell population, and blood corticosterone, $TNF-{\alpha}$, IL-6, and lipopolysaccharide levels. Furthermore, they inhibited colitis marker $NF-{\kappa}B$ activation, and $TNF-{\alpha}$ expression in mice with IS-induced anxiety/depression. They additionally suppressed gut Proteobacteria and Bacteroidetes populations and bacterial lipopolysaccharide production. These findings suggest that NK41 and NK46 may alleviate anxiety/depression and colitis by suppressing gut dysbiosis.

초고온성 고세균 Thermococcus onnurineus NA1은 개미산, 일산화탄소, 또는 전분 등을 이용해서 수소를 생산하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 T. onnurineus NA1의 고정화 세포를 이용한 수소생산을 고찰하였다. 고정화 실험결과, T. onnurineus NA1은 표면에 아민기가 코팅된 규조토 담체에 정전기적 인력에 의해 효과적으로 고정화되었고, 1 g의 담체에 고정화 될 수 있는 최대 세포의 양은 71.7 mg-dcw로 확인되었다. 고정화 세포를 이용한 세 번의 반복회분식 배양을 통해 개미산으로부터 수소생산 특성을 고찰하였고, 그 결과 배양이 반복됨에 따라 고정화 세포 농도의 증가에 기인하여 초기수소생산속도가 2.3 에서 4.0 mmol l⁻¹ h⁻¹로 상당량 증가됨이 관찰되었다. 따라서, T. onnurineus NA1의 고정화세포 시스템은 수소생산을 위한 좋은 대안이 될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다. 본 연구는 초고온성 고세균의 고정화세포를 수소생산에 적용한 첫 번째 사례이다.

심혈관용 소재로서 혈관내피전구세포의 포획을 통해 in vivo 내피세포화가 가능한 표면을 가진 폴리우레탄 표면을 개발하였다. 혈관내피전구세포의 점착을 유도하는 CD34 단일클론항체(monoclonal antibody, mAb)를 표면에 도입하기 위해, poly (poly (ethylene glycol) acrylate-co-butyl methacrylate), poly (PEGA-co-BMA) 공중합체가 합성되었고, 이를 폴리우레탄 표면에 코팅하여 CD34 단일클론항체를 화학적으로 고정화하였다. 중합된 공중합체의 $^1H$-NMR 분석은 원하는 조성을 가진 poly(PEGA-co-BMA)의 합성이 가능함을 확인해 주었다. 이전 연구에서 개발된 PEG가 그래프트된 폴리우레탄과의 비교를 통해, 본 연구에서 제조된 poly(PEGA-co-BMA)가 코팅된 폴리우레탄 표면이 CD34 mAb의 고정화에 더 효과적인 것으로 나타났으며, 이는 CD34 mAb의 표면밀도와 활성도가 32배 이상 증가된 결과를 통해 증명되었다. 개질된 폴리우레탄 표면의 물리화학적 특성은 XPS와 물 접촉각, AFM에 의해 분석되었으며, 각각의 개질된 표면에 따른 표면의 특이적 성질을 잘 보여주었다. 본 연구에서 얻어진 결과들은 poly(PEGA-co-BMA)의 코팅을 통해 제조된 표면이 CD34 mAb의 고정화에 효과적임을 설명하였으며, 실제로 심혈관용 소재의 개발에 적용 가능성이 크다는 것을 증명해 주었다.

Cell-Cell interaction and the extracellular matrix (ECM) are belisved to play essential roles during in vitro culturing of primary hepatocytes in the control of differentiation and in the maintenance of tissue spcific functions. The objective of this study was to examine the effects of degree of cell-cell contact (DCC) on liver sperific function of rat promary hepatocytes. Hepatocyte aggregates with various with various degrees of cell-cell contantact, I. e., dispersed cell, longish aggregate, rugged aggregate, and smooth spheroid were obtained at 1, 5-6, 15-20, and 36-48 hrs, respectively in suspension cultures grown in spinner flasks embedded in Caalginate bead and collagen gel in order. The may result from mass transfer limitation and shear damage caused by agitation during aggregation. The rugged aggregate showed a higer viability and albumin secretion rate than the dispersed cells or the other aggregates. This result indicates the possible enhancement of a bioartificial liver's (BAL) performance using primary hepatocytes and the reduction in time to prepare a BAL through optimization of the immobilization time.

For the enhanced production of a cardiac glycoside, digoxin, using in situ adsorption by biotransformation from digitoxin in plant cell suspension cultures, selection of proper resins was attempted and the culture conditions were optimized. Among various kinds of resins tested, Amberlite XAD-8 was found to be the best for digoxin production in considering adsorption characteristics as well as the effect on cell growth. Adequate time for resin addition was determined to be 36 h from the beginning of biotransformation and the presence of resins should be as short as possible to increase the productivity. In addition, to prevent the cells from direct contact with resin particles, immobilized systems were designed and examined. Immobilization further improved the advantages of in situ adsorption. It was confirmed that the increase of the contact area for mass transfer was an important factor in utilizing an immobilized system to enhance digoxin production.

Recently, genetic engineering techniques have been used to display various heterologous peptides and proteins (enzyme, antibody, antigen, receptor and fluorescence protein, etc.) on the yeast cell surface. Living cells displaying various enzymes on their surface could be used repeatedly as 'whole cell biocatalysts' like immobilized enzymes. We constructed a yeast based whole cell biocatalyst displaying T. reesei cellobiohydrolase I (CBH I ) on the cell surface and endowed the yeast-cells with the ability to degrade cellulose. By using a cell surface engineering system based on ${\alpha}-agglutinin,$ CBH I was displayed on the cell surface as a fusion protein containing the N-terminal leader peptide encoding a Gly-Ser linker and the $Xpress^{TM}$ epitope. Localization of the fusion protein on the cell surface was confirmed by confocal microscopy. In this study, we report on the genetic immobilization of T. reesei CBH I on the S. cerevisiae and hydrolytic activity of cell surface displayed CBH I.

Cotton을 효모 세포($Pichia$ $stipitis$)의 고정화 담체로 사용하기 위하여 2-(diethylamino)ethyl chloride hydrochloride (DEAE HCl)로 derivatization 시켰다. 0.5 M DEAE HCl로 처리하였을 때, 효모 세포가 완전히 흡착하였으며, 이것은 DEAE-cotton g 당 101.8 mg의 효모 세포가 흡착하는 것이고, DEAE-cellulose에 효모 세포가 흡착하는 양의 약 6배 이상인 것으로 확인되었다. DEAE-cotton을 이용하여 효모 세포를 고정화하고, 이것을 ethanol 생산에 이용하였을 경우, glucose와 xylose가 포함된 배지에서 단당류에 대한 ethanol 수율로 0.33 정도로 ethanol을 생산 할 수 있다는 것을 실험적으로 확인하였다. 이를 이용하여 lignocellulosic bomass의 가수분해물로부터 bioethanol 생산에 이용될 수 있을 것으로 기대되어진다. DEAE-cotton에서 얻어진 결과는 DEAE-cellulose에서 같은 실험을 실시하여 서로 비교 분석하였다.

In this paper, we present a novel integrated cell processor to handle individual embryos. Its functions are composed of transporting, isolation, orientation, and immobilization of cells. These functions are essential for biomanipulation of single cells, and have been typically carried out by a proficient operator. The purpose of this study is the automation of these functions for safe and effective cell manipulation using a MEMS based cell processor. This device is realized with a relatively simple design and fabrication process. Experimental results indicate that it can act as an efficient substitute for essential but very tiresome and repetitive manual work while contributing significantly to the improvement of speed and success rate of operation by facilitating cell manipulation. The cell viability test for the device is studied through the distribution of mitochondria in mice embryos and cultivation of cells for 86h.

Recently, we reported an improved technology for the degradation of organophosphate nerve agents using whole cells of genetically engineered Escherichia coli that anchored and displayed the enzyme organophosphorus hydrolase on the cell surface. In this paper we report the immobilization of these cells on highly porous sintered glass beads and the subsequent application of the immobilized cell in a continuous-flow packed bed bioreactor for the biodetoxification of a widely used insecticide, coumaphos.
