We evaluated a more practical and cost-effective immobilization carriers for ethanol production using the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Three candidate materials-rice hull, rice straw, and sawdust-were tested for their cell-adsorption capacity and operational durability. Derivatizations of rice hull, rice straw, and sawdust with the optimal concentration of 0.5 M of 2-(diethylamino)ethyl chloride hydrochloride (DEAE HCl) resulted in > 95% adsorption of the initial yeast cells at 2 hr for DEAE-rice hull and DEAE-sawdust and in only approximately 80% adsorption for DEAE-rice straw. In addition, DEAE-sawdust was found to be a more practical carrier for immobilizing yeast cells in terms of operational durability in shaking flask cultures with two different speeds of 60 and 150 rpm. Furthermore, the biosorption isotherms of DEAE-rice hull, -rice straw, and -sawdust for yeast cells revealed that the $Q_{max}$ of DEAE-sawdust (82.6 mg/g) was greater than that of DEAE-rice hull and DEAE-rice straw. During the 404-hr of continuous column reactor operation using yeast cells immobilized on DEAE-sawdust, no serious detachment of the yeast cells from the DEAE-sawdust was recorded. Ethanol yield of approximately 3.04 g/L was produced steadily, and glucose was completely converted to ethanol at a yield of 0.375 g-ethanol/g-glucose (73.4% of the theoretical value). Thus, sawdust is a promising practical immobilization carrier for ethanol production, with significance in the production of bioethanol as a biofuel.

토양에서 분리한 Bacillus sp. I-5의 cyclodextrin glucanotransferase(CGTase)는 ${\beta}-$ 및 ${\gamma}-cyclodextrin(CD)$를 주로 생성하는 효소로서 최적 반응조건은 pH 8.0, $50^{\circ}C$에서 최적 반응이었다. 생성되는 CD의 조성비는 buffer 용액에 따라 영향을 받았으며 sodium acetate의 농도를 200mM로 하였을 때 ${\gamma}-CD$의 생성은 35% 가량 증가하였다. 기질인 가용성 전분의 DE value에 따라 CD의 생성이 달라져 $3.5{\sim}6.0$범위의 DE value의 전분을 기질로 사용하였을 때 CD이 가장 많이 생성되었다. CD을 연속적으로 생산하기 위하여 CGTase를 가역적으로 용해-침전되는 담체인 hydroxypropyl methylcellulose acetate succinate에 고정화하였고 고정화된 CGTase는 pH 7.5에서 물에 용해되고 pH 6.0에서 쉽게 침전되는 특성을 나타내었다. CD의 연속적 생산은 고정화된 CGTase에 의한 CD의 생산, 반응하지 않은 기질을 glucose로 분해, glucose를 알코올로 발효시키는 단계로 하는 효소반응기를 개발하여 최종적으로 CD 혼합액과 에탄올이 생성되도록 하였다. 10%의 가용성 전분으로부터 생산된 전체 CD의 양은 3.65g이었다.

갈락토올리고당의 연속 생산을 위하여 Bacillus sp. A4442가 생산하는 갈락토스 전이활성이 높은 $\beta-galactosidase$를 균체제거 후 농축, 탈염하여 $Diaion^{TM}$ HPA 75(styrene-divinylbenzene resin)에 고정화하였다. 고정화 수율 및 고정화 효소의 활성을 높이기 위하여 효소 고정화에 영향을 주는 변수들을 최적화하였다. 고정화 시간은 실온에서 3시간, Tris 완충액의 농도는 30mM, pH는 8이 적당하였다. 단백질부하가 증가할수록 효소는 다른 단백질과 경쟁적이며 가역적으로 담체에 결합하였으며, 최적부하는 약 25 mg Protein/g resin 이었다. 가교제로서 glutaraldehyde 0.5%를 사용하였을 때 효소의 열 안정성 및 운전 안정성이 현저히 증가하였다. 이러한 실험조건하에서 고정화를 실시하였을 때 고정화 수율은 40% 이상이었으며 그 활성이 약 200 U/g resin인 고정화 효소를 얻을 수 있었다. Packed-bed reactor에서 유당을 갈락토올리고당으로 연속적으로 전환 가능하였고, 이때 고정화 효소 1 g으로 갈락토올리고당 약 300 g을 생산할 수 있었다.

On-line monitoring technique for the concentration of lactate by a FIA(Flow Injection Analysis) system was studied. The lactate oxidase(LOD) was immboilized on VA-Epoxy carrier and integrated into the FIA system. The pH, buffer flow rate and temperature for the LOD-FIA were optimized, and the effects of salts and metabolites dissolved in the sample on the activity of immobilized enzyme were investigated. The LOD-FIA has been applied to monitor the concentrations of lactate in a simulated bioprocess. The on-line monitoring data by the LOD-FIA agreed with the off-line data measured by a fluorescence spectroscopy well.

FcBP consisting of 13 amino acids specifically binds to Immunoglobulin G Fc domain. Initially, we utilized this peptide for preparation of antibody chip as a PEG composite for enhanced solubility. After then, the peptide conjugate was immobilized on agarose resin, resulting in highly efficient affinity column for antibody purification. The efficiency was comparable to commercial Protein A column. Recently, this peptide was conjugated with cell penetratingpeptide (CPP) on a backbone of GFP, affording antibody transducer, which carries antibody into live cells by simple mixing of antibody and the transducer in cell culture media. Antibody transduction into cells was monitored by live cell imaging. More recently, the FcBP was fused to ferritin cage, which consists of 24 ferritin protein molecules. The FcBP-ferritin cage showed greatly increased binding affinity to human IgG. Its binding was analyzed by QCM and SPR analysis. Finally, it was selectively delivered by Herceptin to SKBR3, a breast cancer cell, over MCF10A, non-tumorigenic cells.

This paper has applied a simple model to the mass transfer mechanism of Cr(VI) with crownether in a batch-type, supported liquid membrane module. Concentration at pH 3 are as follows : 0.012 kmol/$m^3{\le}$18-crown-6${\le}$0.036 kmol/$m^3$ and 20 g/$m^3{\le}$ Cr(VI)${\le}$500 g/$m^3$. The measured values of forward- and backward-reaction rate constants between Cr(VI) and 18-crown-6 were used to simulate the model with the mass conservation equation and associated boundary conditions. Comparison between the experimental and simulated facilitated factor of Cr(VI) transport led to classification of reaction regions.

To remove the low concentration of methane biologically, a three phase fluidized bed bioreactor immobilized with Methylosinus trichosporium OB3b was used. Optimum pH, temperature and bed height for the operation were pH7.0, 30$^\circ C$ and 150cm, respectively. For the inlet methane concentration of 100-400ppm and flow rate of 2-4L/min, the removal efficiencies of the bioreactor using the activated carbon as a carrier were the range of 54-71%, whereas those using the biosand were the range of 45-56%. It was found that activated carbon was more efficient than the biosand for the removal of methane. When aeration tank was equipped with the bioreactor, the removal efficiency increased to 6-13% and maximum removal rate obtained in the experiment was 1184mg.CH$_4$/min.

Herein, we established a repeated-batch process for ethanol production from glycerol by immobilized Pachysolen tannophilus. The aim of this study was to develop a more practical and applicable ethanol production process for biofuel. In particular, using industrial-grade medium ingredients, the microaeration rate was optimized for maximization of the ethanol production, and the relevant metabolic parameters were then analyzed. The microaeration rate of 0.11 vvm, which is far lower than those occurring in a shaking flask culture, was found to be the optimal value for ethanol production from glycerol. In addition, it was found that, among those tested, Celite was a more appropriate carrier for the immobilization of P. tannophilus to induce production of ethanol from glycerol. Finally, through a repeated-batch culture, the ethanol yield (Y_e/g) of 0.126 ± 0.017 g-ethanol/g-glycerol (n = 4) was obtained, and this value was remarkably comparable with a previous report. In the future, it is expected that the results of this study will be applied for the development of a more practical and profitable long-term ethanol production process, thanks to the industrial-grade medium preparation, simple immobilization method, and easy repeated-batch operation.

Histamine은 발효식품, 등푸른 생선 등 단백질이 많이 함유된 식품에서 잘 생성되는 물질로 이들 식품의 부패 시에는 다량의 histamine이 발생되어 이를 섭취하였을 때 독성을 일으킬 수 있기 때문에 histamine은 어육식품의 선도 저하 또는 부패의 지표로서 사용된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 신속하며 정확한 histamine 검출을 위한 바이오센서 시스템을 구축하기 위하여 기능화된 MWCNT와 Prussian blue를 사용한 전극을 제작하였으며, 여러 불용성 담체에 효소를 고정화시켜 바이오센서 시스템에 적합한 불용성 담체를 확인하기 위한 연구를 수행하였다. MWCNT-$NH_2$와 Prussian blue가 도입된 전극의 과산화수소에 대한 감응도를 확인한 결과, 검출한계는 $0.1{\mu}M$으로 나타났으며, 각 담체의 효소 고정화도를 측정한 결과, CNBr-activated sepharose 4B는 48.5%, calcium alginate는 40.3%, controlled pore size glass beads는 51.0%를 보였다. 또한 CNBr-activated sepharose 4B, calcium alginate, controlled pore size glass beads로 제작된 효소반응기의 $100{\mu}M$ histamine에 대한 전극 감응도는 각각 120 nA, 110 nA, 140 nA로 나타났다. 따라서 담체의 coupling efficiency, 제작된 효소반응기의 전극 감응도, 선형 관계 등을 고려해 보았을 때 controlled pore size glass beads가 본 연구에서 구축된 바이오센서 시스템에서 가장 적합한 담체인 것으로 확인되었다. 이로써 이들 작업전극과 효소반응기로 구축된 바이오센서는 histamine을 감도 높고 신속하게 측정할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.
