내당 내알콜성 균주인 S. cerevisiae D1을 이용하여 알콜 발효를 할 때 ethanol 생산성을 증대시키기 위하여 발효시 soybean meal을 첨가하여 발효에 미치는 영향에 관해서 연구한 결과 다음의 결론을 얻었다. 알콜 발효시 soybean meal의 영향을 보면 초기 glucose 농도를 350g/1로 하였을 때 soybean meal첨가에 의해 ethanol 생산량이 증가하고 생균수도 증가하였으며 soybean meal 첨가 농도가 2%일 때보다 4%일 때 더 큰 중가를 보였다. Soybean meal을 water-soluble fraction과 lipidic fraction으로 분획 하여 첨가하였을 때는 water-soluble fraction은 whole-soybean meal과 거의 같은 ethanol 생산량의 증가를 보였지만 lipidic fraction은 거의 영향을 미치지 않았다. 초기 glucose 농도를 달레하고 발효하였을 때는 soybean meal을 4 % 첨가시 초기 glucose농도와 상관없이 ethanol 생산 속도가 증가하였다. Ethanol 첨가에 의해 glucose소비 속도가 감소하였고 soybean meal을 4% 첨가시 glucose소비 속도가 증가하였지만 ethanol을 첨가한 경우의 소비 속도를 첨가하지 않은 경우의 소비 속도에 대한 비율로 나타내면 soybean meal 첨가와 상관없이 같은 값을 나타내었다. 따라서 soybean meal 첨가시 ethanol 생산량이 증가하는 이유는 내알콜성 증가보다는 결집된 영양소를 보충해주기 때문이라고 추측된다.

Tolerance of Mycobacterium sp. against organic solvents has been induced for the cholesterol side chain degradation by adding chemicals associated with synthesis of fatty acids or alcohols. Biotin of 300 .mu.g/1 and 0.5% aqueous ethanol solution were optima for the enhancement of ethanol tolerance of the microorganism. The induction of ethanol tolerance by biotin was found to be due to increase of degree of unsaturation of the fatty acids in membranous phospholipid of the cell, especially due to increase of oleic acid content. However when 0.5% of ethanol was added for the ethanol tolerance induction, there was an ambiguous correlation between ethanol tolerance and degree of unsaturation of the fatty acids, in spite of the fact that the induction increased the content of unsaturated fatty acids. Addition of 0.5% of ethanol induced several ethanol shock proteins having molecular weight similar to that of heat shock proteins.

Alcohol류를 배양액 속에 첨가하면 배양 중에 생성되는 BC가 엉기는 현상이 나타났다. 생성된 BC의 엉김은 생산배지로부터의 cellulose의 분리회수를 손쉽게 할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 이 중에서 ethanol을 사용하는 경우에는 BC의 생산성과 미생물의 성장속도가 증가하였다. Ethanol 이외의 alcohol류는 BC의 엉김현상에는 효과가 있었으나 그 독성으로 인하여 미생물의 성장과 BC의 생산성을 감소시켰다. Ethanol과 다른 alcohol 모두 BC의 엉김효과는 있으나 ethanol만 진탕배양에서 $\textrm{Cel}^{-}$균주의 출현 방지에 효과가 있었다.

We used a herbal medicine, roots of Rhodiola sachalinensis (RS) to assess whether RS extract can decrease blood ethanol concentrations in rats fed ethanol and if so, to elucidate the mechanism by which RS extract reduces blood ethanol levels. Rats were fed ethanol orally 1 hr after the oral administration of various doses of RS extract. In another experiment, rats were injected intraperitoneally with ethanol following the intake of RS extract via gastric catheter to eliminate possible inhibition of ethanol absorption in the gastrointestine by RS extract. The administration of RS extract remarkably lowered blood ethanol levels in a dose-dependent manner in rats given ethanol orally. However, the intake of RS extract did not reduce ethanol levels in rats injected with ethanol intraperitoneally. The activities of two main hepatic enzymes, alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH), involved in ethanol metabolism, were not affected by the administration of RS extract in rats fed ethanol. In addition, the intake of RS extract reduced serum triglyceride levels elevated by ethanol to the normal level. We conclude that the administration of RS extract lowers blood ethanol concentrations by inhibition of ethanol absorption in the gastrointestinal tracts of ethanol-fed animals.

Many kinds of alternative fuels such as biodiesel, ethanol, methanol, and natural gas have been developed in order to overcome the limited deposits in fossil fuels. In some cases, the alternative fuels have been reported to cause degrade materials. The corrosion rates of metals were measured by immersion test, a kind of time consuming test because low conductivity of these fuels was not allowed to employ electrochemical tests. With twin two-electrode cell newly designed for the study, however, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) test was successfully applied to evaluation of the corrosion resistance ($R_p$) of zinc, iron, aluminum, and its alloys in an oxidized biodiesel and gasoline/ethanol solutions and the corrosion resistance from EIS was compared with the corrosion rate from immersion test. In biodiesel, $R_p$ increased in the order of zinc, iron, and aluminum, which agreed with the corrosion resistance measured from immersion test. In addition, on aluminum showing the best corrosion resistance ($R_p$), the effect of magnesium as an alloying element was evaluated in gasoline/ethanol solutions as well as the oxidized biodiesel. $R_p$ increased with addition of magnesium in gasoline/ethanol solutions containing chloride and the oxidized biodiesel. In the mean while, in gasoline/ethanol solutions containing formic acid, Al-Mg alloy added 1% magnesium had the highest $R_p$ and the further addition of magnesium decreased $R_p$. It can be explained with the fact that the addition of more than 1% magnesium increases the passive current density of Al-Mg alloys.

Ethanol was utilized by mixed rumen microbes, but addition of pentachlorophenol (25 mg/l), a methanogen inhibitor, suppressed the utilization of ethanol. Carbon monoxide (50% of the gas phase), a hydrogenase inhibitor, more strongly suppressed the utilization of ethanol, propanol, and butanol. These results suggest that the major ethanol utilizers are $H_2$ producers. Ethanol utilization was depressed at low pH (below 6.0). Since methanogens were shown to be relatively resistant to low pH, it appears that ethanol utilizers are particularly sensitive to low pH. Ruminococcus albus and R. flavefaciens in mono-culture produced ethanol from carbohydrate (glucose and cellobiose), even when a high level (170 mM) of ethanol was present. Ethanol was not utilized even in the absence of carbohydrate, but the co-culture of these bacteria with methanogens resulted in the utilization of ethanol, i.e., when $H_2$ was rapidly converted to $CH_4$, R. albus and R. flavefaciens utilized ethanol. These results suggest that ethanol is utilized when the electrons liberated by the oxidation of ethanol are rapidly removed, and ready electron disposal in ethanol-utilizing, $H_2$-producing bacteria is accomplished by the interspecies transfer of $H_2$.

Skin anti-wrinkle activities of the stems and leaves of Abeliophyllum distichum Nakai were evaluated by the extracts obtained from various extraction processes such as using hot water at $100^{\circ}C$, 70% ethanol at $85^{\circ}C$, and 70% ethanol with ultrasonication at $60^{\circ}C$ The ultrasonicated extract showed 95.62% of the highest cell viability in addition of $0.3mg/m{\ell}$ of the extracts into the normal human fibroblast cell, CCD-986sk. For antioxidant activities, the extracts using ultrasonicated extract showed the highest DPPH free radical scavenging as 80.27%, followed by 75.88% and 62.44% for the extracts using ethanol extract and water extract. The ultrasonicated extract also showed the highest elastase inhibition activity as 25.32%, compared to ethanol extract and water extract based method at 22.01% and 12.88%, respectively. MMP-1 production was most effectively decreased down to $2908.1pg/m{\ell}$ with ultrasonicated extract while $6640.8pg/m{\ell}$ with water extract and $3609.3pg/m{\ell}$ with ethanol extract, in addition of $0.3mg/m{\ell}$. Collagen production was increased up to $154.7ng/m{\ell}$ in addition of ultrasonicated extract, and followed by $121.4ng/m{\ell}$ and $31.2ng/m{\ell}$ for ethanol extract and water extract, respectively. These results indicate that the ethanol extract should have skin anti-wrinkling activities and can be improved by the ultrasonication process that high energy input elute more amounts of bioactive substances eluting more amounts of bioactive substances from the high energy input of ultrasonication.

Ethanol consumption causes psychomotor alterations. Hovenia Semen seu Fructus (HS), widely distributed in Korea, China, and Japan, has been reported to have beneficial effects on acute alcohol-induced liver injury. The present study sought to assess the effects of HS extract on ethanol-induced psychomotor alterations in rats. Sprague-Dawley rats were orally (p.o.) given ethanol (4 g/kg) (ethanol group) to induce psychomotor alterations. A separate group (HS-treated groups), were treated with different dosages of HS (50, 100, and 200 mg/kg, p.o.), 30 minutes before ethanol treatment. The control group received only the vehicle (saline). Ethanol-induced psychomotor alterations were evaluated in the open-field, rota-rod, hanging wire, and cold swimming test. In addition, blood ethanol and acetaldehyde concentrations were also measured. Behavioral evaluations and blood analysis were carried out 0.5, 1, 2, 4, and 8 hours after ethanol administration. Pre-treatment of HS ameliorated ethanol-induced alterations in the open-field, rota-rod, and cold swimming test, significantly evident in 2 and 4 hours after ethanol treatment. These improvements coincided with decrease in blood ethanol and acetaldehyde concentration. Based on these results, the present study suggests that HS may have ameliorating effects against ethanol-induced psychomotor alterations.

In this study, the corrosion resistance and adhesion of electrophoretic paint (E-paint) were studied on AZ31 magnesium alloy pretreated in cerium chemical conversion coating solutions with the addition of various ethanol concentrations. It was found that with increasing ethanol concentration from 0 to 90 percent can decrease the formation of $Mg(OH)_2/MgO$ and increase the formation of nano-crystalline cerium oxides on the coating. Both corrosion resistance and adhesion of E-painted AZ31 increased with increasing ethanol concentration. The best E-paint sample was observed on the sample pretreatment in cerium chemical conversion coating solution with the addition of 80 percent of ethanol. This sample showed an excellent adhesion without paint detached after water immersion test for 500 h at $40^{\circ}C$, and only a few blisters observed at the near scratched sites after 1000 h salt-spray test.

국내산 라이밀을 이용한 바이오에탄올 생산을 위해 저온 전처리 공정을 도입하여 에탄올 생산성을 비교하였다. 라이밀의 경우 원료 특성상 증자 공정에서 점도 문제가 발생하는데, 이를 해결하기 위해 최적 전처리 조건을 탐색하였으며 이에 따른 에탄올 생산성을 비교하였다. 저온 조건과 점도 저하 효소를 사용함으로서 점도에 따른 발효 저해 현상 해결하였고 전처리 공정에 소요되는 전처리 공정비를 절감할 수 있었다. 또한 pH 조절(pH 4.5) 후 살균 처리 없이 바로 발효가 가능함을 확인할 수 있었다. 발효 초기 총당 함량은 $48{\pm}2.0\;g/L$이었으며, 발효 72시간 이후 에탄올 생성 농도는 $67.4{\pm}1.4\;g/L$, 톤당 에탄올 생산량은 410.9 L (dry base)로 효소 무첨가구보다 에탄올 농도와 톤당 수득량이 각각 15%, 20% 이상 증가하였다. 이와 같은 결과는 기존의 에탄올생산 공정과 비교하여 전처리 공정에 소요되는 시간을 30-50% 이상 줄일 수 있으며, 저온 공정에 따른 에너지 사용 절감 및 초기 시설 투자비를 줄일 수 있어 바이오에탄올 생산을 위한 대체 원료로 충분한 가능성을 보여 주었다.
