To improve the detection of methicillin resistant staphylococci, lowered incubation temperature (30.deg.) and inclusion of sodium chloride in media have been empirically recommended. However, in this study, we found that sodium chloride in Peptone-Yeast Extract-K$\_$2/HPO$\_$4/ (PYK) medium decreased methicillin minimum inhibitory concentrations. Divalent cations were shown to restore the expression of staphylococcal methicillin resistance. However, when it was determined by efficiency of plating, sodium chloride increased methicillin resistance expression on agar medium in which higher divalent cations were contained in the agar medium. The decrease of minimum inhibitory concentrations at 30.deg.C by sodium chloride occurred in Brain Heart Infusion but did not occur in other media investigated. Interestingly, both PYK and Brain Heart Infusion media had peptone, which contain cholic acids having detergent activities. Inclusion of sodium chloride in PYK caused a higher rate of autolysis. Penicillin binding protein 2a that has a low affinity to beta-lactam antibiotics, was highly inducible in methicillin resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis strains. In this study, we found that autolysins that are activated by the sodium chloride decreased the minimum inhibitory concentration at 30.deg.C, and peptidoglycan is weakened due to the presence of methicillin. Peptone in the media may aggravate the fragile cells. However, stabilization due to the presence of divalent cations and production of penicilin binding protein 2a increase the survival of staphylococci.

In order to explain the effect of alloying Cu on the corrosion resistance of stainless steels in chloride media for both ferritic and austenitic stainless steels, the corrosion behavior of Cu-bearing stainless steels was investigated. Alloying Cu showed beneficial effect in an active potential range and harmful effect in a noble potential range. The beneficial effect of alloying Cu was explained by the stability of deposited Cu on an anodic surface. Difference in the effect of alloying Cu between the ferritic and austenitic steels was ascribed by the differences in their corrosion potentials and the morphology of the deposited Cu.

Rate of solvolysis of dansyl chloride in aqueous binary mixtures of acetone, methanol and ethanol are reported. Kinetic solvent isotope effects in methanol and product selectivities in alcohol-water mixtures are also reported. Kinetic data are interpreted with the Grunwald-Winstein and Kivinen equations. The value of $k_{CH3OH}/k_{CH3OD}=1.76$ suggests that a general have catalyzed and/or an $S_AN$ pathway is operative in methanol, a less polar solvent. Rate-rate profiles for solvolysis of dansyl chloride in the aqueous binary media indicate a change in reaction channel from $S_AN$ (in less polar media) to $S_N2$ (in more polar media) mechanism.

Balb/c 마우스의 복강대식세포와 동종 마우스의 유선암에서 기원한 EMT-6 세포를 배양하는 조건에 여러 농도의 수은을 첨가하여 nitrite와 nitrite 생성의 변화를 관찰한 결과는 다음과 같다. 복강대식세포 및 EMT-6 세포가 생성하는 nitrite와 nitrate 양은 공히 배양시작 12시간 후에 생성량에 비해 24 시간 후에는 2배, 36시간 후에는 3배의 농도로 측정되었다. 이때 nitrite와 nitrate 농도 사이에 매우 밀접한 상관관계가 관찰되었다. 수음첨가에 따라 nitrite 및 nitrate 생성량은 용량 의존적 관계로 현저한 감소를 보이며, 24 시간 또는 36시간 후의 세포생존률도 역시 수은농도에 비례하여 감소되는데, 복강대식세포의 생존률 감소가 EMT-6 세포의 것에 비해 더욱 현저하였다. 이들 세포내에서 생성되는 ATP의 양은 복강세포의 경우 그 생존률과 비례하는 경향이었으나, EMT-6세포의 경우는 비교적 높은 생존률에도 불구하교 배양액내에 수은농도를 증가시킴에 따라 ATP생산은 현저히 감소하였다. 이상의 결과는 면역세포인 복강대식세포 뿐아니라 암세포인 EMT-6 세포에서도, L-arginine으로부터 nitric oxide를 생성하는 생화학적 반응이 수은에 의해 공히 억제될 수 있음을 보여준다. 한편 수은의 세포성 면역에 미치는 독성은 수은이 면역세포의 ATP생성과 관련한 에너지 대사과정의 장애을 초래하여 nitric oxide 생성에 필요한 반응에너지의 공급을 억제시키기 때문에 나타나는 현상으로 사료된다.

This paper was carried out to isolate and identify Aeromonas caviae which can degrade Sodium Dodecyl Benzene Sulfonate(SDBS) effectively. And the affecting factors for the ability of bacterial degradation were also studied. Frm October 1991 to February 1992, two hundred samples from sweage in Taegu area and Nakdong river waters in Talsung Gun area were tested. Minimal salt medium which contain SDBS only as a carbon source was used as a culture medium. The isolated new strain was identified as Aeromonas caviae Kim & Kweon. The optimal pH for SDBS degradation were 7.0 and temperature, $32^{\circ}C.$ It was taken 24 hours to degrade SDBS of 20mg/l completely under the optimal pH and temperature. And in the case of 30 mg/l of SDBS, it was taken 36 hours. The nitrogen sources were added to the minimal salt media containing 20mg/l of SDBS, and they were incubated at $32^{\circ}C$ for 14 hours. 86.9% SDBS were degraded after addition of 0.03% peptone as a organic nitrogen source. And 70.5% SDBS after addition of 0.05% ammonium sulfate as a inorganic nitrogen source. In the case of metal compounds(0.015%), the degradation rate for SDBS were 3.5 fold increased in the media containing magnesium chloride and calcium chloride than in the media that were not containing these metal compounds. And where the media containing magnesium chloride was 0.05%, the degradation rate was 65.8%. And above 0.3% NaCI, the degradation rate was decreased slowly.

Tetrahydrotricyclopentadiene(이하 THTCPD)의 이성질체는 높은 밀도와 높은 발열량을 가지고 있어 고성능 액체 연료의 주요성분물질로 활용이 가능하다. 본 연구에서는 상온에서 고체 상태로 유동성이 좋지 않은 THTCPD를 유동성이 우수한 액체상태 특성을 가질 수 있게 할 수 있는 최적의 반응조건을 찾는 것이다. THTCPD의 이성화 반응은 반응온도 변화와 반응용매의 영향 등의 다양한 반응조건을 통해 살펴보았다. 알루미늄클로라이드 촉매를 사용하여 THTCPD 이성화 반응을 실험한 결과 Dichloromethane(Methylene Chloride: MC), 1,2-Dichloroethane(Ethylene Chloride: EC), Chloroform과 같은 할로겐 함유 극성용매가 n-Hexane, Toluene과 같은 비극성 탄화수소형 용매보다 이성화 반응에서 우수한 특성을 나타내었으며, 반응온도의 변화도 이성화반응에 크게 영향을 미치는 것을 알 수 있었다.

The experimental methods to rapidly and stably reproduce Microbially Influenced Corrosion (MIC) of stainless steel by sulfate-reducing bacteria such as Desulfovibrio vulgaris were developed. In this study, using two types of stainless steel, 304 and 444, obtained from Pohang Steel & Iron Co., Ltd. (POSCO)., three major factors were tested; overall medium composition, dilution ratio, and chloride concentration. In the overall medium tests, three different media were prepared according to $FeSO_4$ concentration; PM (original Postgate's medium No. 2), MPM 1 (modified PM, no $FeSO_4$, MPM 2 (modified PM, 1/10 $FeSO_4$). The effects of various dilution ratios (3, 1, 1/3, 1/10, 1/30, and 1/100 times) and chloride concentrations (0.0067M, 0.01M, 0.05M, and 0.1M) were examined during 2 months cultivation. Through SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy) observation, the diluted and modified media, particularly the $1/3{\times}MPM$ I medium, showed more micro-pitting points on surfaces compared to the original PM medium. High concentrations of chloride ions (above 0.05M) were not adequate for observation of MIC since those brought about non-microbiologically induced corrosion. From this study, the optimization of medium composition was very effective to routinely observe MIC in a laboratory system.

치태의 형성은 이온, 효소, 영양물질, 화학물질 등과 같은 구강내 존재하는 다양한 물질들과 이들의 변화에 영향을 받는다. 본 연구에서는 치태형성에 중요한 역할을 하는 구강내 연쇄상구균인 Streptococcus sobrinus를 공시균으로, 비수용성 글루캔의 합성과 세균 증식 에 미치는 여러 인자들의 영향을 관찰하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. Streptococcus sobrinus 배양 배지의 pH가 7.0일 때 비수용성 글루캔이 가장 많이 합성 되었고, pH 5.5와 pH 8.5에서는 그 합성이 감소하였다. 세균 증식도 pH 7.0에서 가장 활발하였다. 2. 효모 추출물은 2.5%일 때 비수용성 글루캔의 합성과 세균증식이 모두 활발하였다. 자당의 경우 농도가 증가할수록 비수용성 글루캔의 합성은 감소하여 1.25%보다 20%에서 합성이 10배 정도 감소하였으나, 세균의 증식은 20배 정도 증가하였다. 3. 배지의 calcium chloride 농도가 1.0mM, potassium chloride 농도가 40mM, magnesium chloride 농도가 0.1mM 이었을때 비수용성 글루캔의 합성이 가장 활발했으나, 세균의 증식에는 큰 영향을 미치지 않았다. 4.

This experiment was performed to investigate effects of zinc containing solution on the major normal flora Staphylococccus aureus, Streptococus mutans and Candida albicans and to observe the variation according to anionic change and concentration difference. Zinc chloride, zinc iodide and zinc acetate solution were added to werially diluted broth culture so that each final concentration might be 0.25%, 0.5%. 1%. After that, 100ul of each aliquot was spreaded on each selective media plate( Mannitol Salts Agar plate for Staphylococcus aureus, Mitis Salivarius Agar plate for Streptococcus mutans and Sabouraud Destrose Agar plate for Candida albicans). The % killing was calculated bu CFU count after incubation under the appropriate condition. 1. zinc iodide, zinc chloride, and zinc acetate solutions showed inhibitory effects on Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus mutans and Candida albicans. 2. The inhibitory effects on Staphylococcus aureus were ranked in order of ainc iodide, zinc chloride and zinc actate. 3.
