Antibacterial effects of the water-soluble extract of Ulmus pumila L. on Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli were studied by cylinder plate dilution method. The cells of S. aureus and E. coli treated with the extract were comparatively examined by scanning and transmission electron microscopies for their morphological features. The normal cells of S. aureus and E. coli showed thypical coccus and rod shapes, respectively, but the cells of S. aureus treated with the extract showed rough surface structures with many granular protrusions and were destroyed to form ghost cells by liberating their cytoplasmic components. E. coli cells treated with the extract were destoryed without enlarging in size and producing granules on their surfaces.

The effect of high concentration ion matrix on the analysis of low anion concentration in the suppressed ion chromatography was studied. The anions studied were $Br^-$, $NO_3{^-}$, $HPO_4^{2-}$, $SO_4^{2-}$, and $C_2O_4^{2-}$ in the presence of excess NaCl and $CaCl_2$. In this study we suggested that the erroneous results in the suppressed ion chromatographic determination of small concentration of anions were not caused by the interaction of large amount of cation in the suppressor, but by the interaction of cation with concerned anion in the original solution. The error in the analysis of such anion can not be eliminated just by dilution. Therefore, we suggested that standard addition method might be adequate for analyses of those samples.

A bacterium growing on formaldehyde as a sole carbon source was isolated by the dilution method from an enrichment culture containing formaldehyde. The isolated strain, YK-32, was identified as Pseudomonas sp. by morphological, biochemical, and genetic analyses. Pseudomonas sp. YK-32 completely degraded 0.05% formaldehyde within 24 hrs. The isolated strain had a high level of formaldehyde dehydrogenase activity, which is thought to be one of the important factors for formaldehyde degradation, when cells were cultivated in the presence of formaldehyde.

In this study the real situation of apartment house in seoul is reproduced with multi-zone modeling program contam2.4. This model include immune building system(disinfection system) which is consist of dilution, Filter Technology and UVGI(ultra violet germicidal irrdiation). In this study experiments design method used for estimating interaction of HRV air change rate, UVGI air change rate and UVGI grade. Result show that HRV air change rate and UVGI air change rate is most influence factor for remove rate. also Interaction of HRV air change rate and UVGI air change rate is ost influence factor for remove rate.

Sixteen compounds of N-aroyl-N'-(4'-alkoxyphenyl) thiourea derivative, twenty one compounds of N-aeryl-N'(3'-hydroxy-4'-alkoxycar-bonylphenyl) thiourea derivative, three compounds of N-aeroyl-N'-.alpha.-naphthyiourea derivative and three compounds of N-cyanoacetyl-N'-aroyl thiosemicarbazide derivative were syntrhesized as potential antitubercular agent and were subjected to screening test for antitubercular activity against Mycobacterium turberculosis H/sub 37/Rv by tube dilution method in vitro. Of the fourty three eompounds, N-p-cyanobenzoyl-N'-(4'-iso-butoxyphenyl) thiourea, N-p-cyanobenzoyl-N'-(4-n-amoxyphenyl)thiourea, N-furoyl-N'-(3'-hydroxy-4'-ethoxycarbonylphenyl)thiourea, N-p-cyanobenzoyl-N'-(3'-hydroxy-4'-n-butoxycarbonylphenyl)thiourea, N-p-cyanobenzoyl-N'-(3'-hydroxy-4'-n-amoxycarbonylphenyl)thiourea, and N-5-nitrofuroyl-N'(3'-hydroxy-4"-n-amoxycarbonylphrnyl)thiourea showed the growth inhibition of M. tuberculosis H/sub 37/Rv at the coccentraction og 10.mu.g/ml, respectively.

The antifungal activities of the essential oils from Anthemis nobilis, Ciderus atlantica, Juniperus communis, Lavandula angustifolia, Pelargonium graveolens, Pogestemon patchouli, Rosmarinus officinalis, and Styrax tonkinensis which are recommended for the treatment of microbial infections in aromatherapy and complementary medicines were tested against Candida spp. The activities were measured by broth dilution method and disk diffusion assay. Most of the test oils inhibited growth of Candida albicans, C. utilis and C. tropicalis. Especially, the essential oil from Pelargonium graveolens and its main component, citronellol showed the strongest activity among the herbs except benzoic acid from Styrax tonkinensis which is well-known antimicrobial compound. As a result of checkerboard microtiter test. synergistic effect of citronellol, was shown when the component was combinated with ketoconazole, displaying a fractional inhibiting concentration (FIC) index of 0.37 against C. albicans.

In the course of work on new pharmacologically active antimicrobial agents, we have reported the synthesis of a new class of structurally novel derivatives, incorporating two bioactive structures, a benzothiazole and thiazolidin-4-one, to yield a class of compounds having interesting antimicrobial properties. The antimicrobial properties of the synthesized compounds were investigated against bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus and Escherchia coli) and fungi (Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger) using serial plate dilution method. The structure of the synthesized compounds have been established by elemental analysis and spectroscopic data.

Multi-Surface (MS) treatment is a new technique of surface treatment to reduce the static friction factor on the surface of rubber. MS treatments include 4 methods which names are MS-V (UV-irradiation on the rubber surface), MS-M (doing the chemical reaction with double bond of rubber), MS-Q (dilution of rubber surface by silicone surfactant), and MS-P (coating and heating of rubber surface). The experiment and test of every MS-treatment had been carried out using acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR), ethylene-propylene-diene rubber (EPDM), and chlorosulphonated rubber (CSM) as rubber materials. It had introduced the steps of every MS-treatment process and the result of the properties test. From the research, it was found that the best method was MS-V treatment because it suited all the samples and the effect was obviously.

Antimicrobial activity of GL (the aqueous extract from the carpophores of Ganoderma lucidum ($F_RK_{KARST}$) was tested in vitro aginst Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria by serial broth dilution method, and the antimicrobial activity was expressed by minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC). Among fifteeen species of bacteria tested, the natimicrobial activity of GL was of antimicrobial combinations of GL with four kinds of antibiotics (ampicilin, cefazolin, oxytet-racycline and chloramphenicol), the fractional inhibitory concentraction index (FICI) was determined by checkerboard assy for each stain. The antimicrobial combinations of GL with four antibiotics resulted in additive effect in most instances, synergism in two instances, and antagonism in two instances. Synergism was obversed when GL was combined with cefazolin against Bacillus subtilis and Klebsiella oxytoca.

The essential oil was extracted from the roots of Angelica dahurica Bentham et Hooker f. by steam distillation and its composition was analyzed by GC-MS. The antifungal activities were evaluated by micro-dilution method against five Aspergillus and three Trichophyton species. The most abundant component was ${\alpha}$-pinene (17.21%) among 40 compounds identified in this oil. The essential oil fraction of A. dahurica and ${\alpha}$-pinene exhibited marked inhibiting activities against the tested Aspergillus and Trichophyton species with MICs (minimum inhibitory concentrations) between 0.12 mg/ml and 8 mg/ml.
