가축분뇨 액비인 SCB 액비를 논토양 조건의 포트에 시용하였을 때 자외선에 의해 분변성 대장균의 사멸효과가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 본 연구결과로 볼 때 가축 분뇨의 퇴 액비화시 유해 미생물 제거에 광의 이용 가능성을 확인할 수 있었다. 그러나, 여러 종류의 가축분뇨 퇴 액비를 직접 농경지에 시용하였을 때 외부 환경의 건전성 유지와 환경 위해성을 관리하기 위해서는 향후 농경지 시용에 대한 현장 실험이 보완되어야 할 것이다.

Airborne microorganisms, which are currently termed bioaerosols, have received attention owing to the harmful effects they have on human health. As the concern over airborne microorganisms grows, there also grows an urgent need to study and develop efficient methods for controlling them. In this study, thermal energy using a thermal tube was tested as a control method, mainly against airborne E. coli. For a comparison, B. subtilis var. niger spores were utilized in the experimentation. It was found that the widely known inactivation conditions for microorganisms were not adequate against airborne microorganisms. The experimental results demonstrated the need for extensive studies that should investigate adequate and economic conditions to control against airborne bacteria. In this study, thermal energy exposed by the thermal tube demonstrated an inactivation performance for controlling E. coli bioaerosols.

A study was undertaken to determine the thermal inactivation of Escherichia coli O157:H7 as influenced by the effects of temperature, time, suspension medium and ascorbate. Tryptic soy broth was more heat resistant than pfosphate buffer (pH 7.1), with D values of 1.52~1.68 min at 6$0^{\circ}C$ and 1.51~1.63 min at 7$0^{\circ}C$ compared with 1.52~1.65 min at 6$0^{\circ}C$ and 1.26~1.61 min at 7$0^{\circ}C$ for phosphate buffer as suspension medium. E. coli O157:H7 was completely inhibited within 30 min when small inoculum (106 CFU/$m\ell$) was heated at 7$0^{\circ}C$. When E. coli O157:H7 was preheated at 48$^{\circ}C$ for 60 min in phosphate buffer before heating, D values were 1.28~1.60 min at 6$0^{\circ}C$, and 1.13~1.56 min at 7$0^{\circ}C$, showing that preheating increases the heat resistance of the strain. Phosphate buffer containing ascorbate (0.001 M) was enhanced the thermal inactivation of the strain when inoculated as large inoculum (109 CFU/$m\ell$), while ascorbic acid was no effect at low cell concentrations (109 CFU/$m\ell$).

The 20-kHz ultrasonic irradiation was applied to investigate bacterial inactivation and antibiotic susceptibility changes over time. Applied intensities of ultrasound power were varied at 27.7 W and 39.1 W by changing the amplitude 20 to 40 to three bacteria species (Escherichia coli, Enterococcus faecalis, and Staphylococcus aureus). By 15-min irradiation, E. coli, a gram-negative bacterium, showed 1.2- to 1.6-log removals, while the gram-positive bacteria, Enterococcus faecalis and Staphylococcus aureus, showed below 0.5-log removal efficiencies. Antibiotic susceptibility of penicillin-family showed a dramatic increase at E. coli, but for other antibiotic families showed no significant changes in susceptibility. Gram-positive bacteria showed no significant differences in their antibiotic susceptibilities after ultrasound irradiation. Bacterial re-survival and antibiotic susceptibility changes were measured by incubating the ultrasound-irradiated samples. After 24-hour incubation, it was found that all of three bacteria were repropagated to the 2- to 3-log greater than the initial points, and antibiotic inhibition zones were reduced compared to ones of the initial points, meaning that antibiotic resistances were also recovered. Pearson correlations between bacterial inactivation and antibiotic susceptibility showed negative relation for gram-negative bacteria, E. coli., and no significant relations between bacterial re-survival and its inhibition zone. As a preliminary study, further researches are necessary to find practical and effective conditions to achieve bacteria inactivation.

주요 식중독균인 E. coli O157:H7, L monocytogenes, S. aureus, S. Typhimurium과 S. Enteritidis를 주어진 이산화염소수 농도에서 시간별로 처리한 inactivation data를 first-order kinetic model과 Weibull model을 이용하여 kinetic parameter를 비교, 분석하였다. 그 결과 Weibull model이 first-order kinetic model보다 inactivation kinetic data에 더 적합한 것을 보였다. 또한 특정 농도의 이산화염소수에서 처리한 survival plot의 tR values(특정 이산화염소수 농도에서 미생물 90%를 감소시키기 위해 필요한 시간)는 Weibull model을 적용 시, E. coli O157:H7가 5 ppm에서 2.49 min, L. monocytogenes가 5 ppm에서 1.47 min, S. aureus가 5 ppm에서 0.94 min, S. Typhimurium이 1 ppm에서 0.87 min 그리고 S. Enteritidis가 1 ppm에서 0.08 min으로 측정 되었다.

Objectives: For the practical application of the dielectric barrier discharge plasma reactor, a plasma reactor able to manage large volumes of water is needed. This study investigated the possibility of the practical application of a multi-plasma reactor which is a scaled-up version of a single plasma reactor. Methods: The multi-plasma reactor consists of several high-voltage transformers and plasma modules (discharge, ground electrodes and quartz dielectric tubes). The effects of water characteristics such as voltage (30-120 V), air flow rate (1-5 l/min), number of high-voltage transformers and plasma modules, and water quality on Escherichia coli (E. coli) disinfection and decrease of COD and $UV_{254}$ absorbance were investigated. Results: The experimental results showed that at a voltage of over 80 V, most of the E. coli were disinfected within 90 seconds. E. coli inactivation was not affected by the air flow rate. E. coli disinfection in the multiplasma process showed the traditional log-linear form of the disinfection curve. E. coli inactivation performance by transformer 3-Reactor 5 and transformer 3-Reactor 3 were similar. The disinfection performance of the UV process was affected by artificial sewage water. However, the plasma process was less affected by the artificial sewage within the standards for effluent water quality. Conclusions: Disinfection performance with several low voltages and plasma modules of three to five in number applied to the plasma process was higher than that concentrating a small amount of high voltage through a single plasma reactor. Removal of COD, $UV_{254}$ absorbance, and E. coli disinfection with the plasma process were better than with the UV process.

전 세계적으로 가축분뇨를 농경지에 시용하는 것은 작물과 토양에 양분을 공급하는 측면에서 오래 전부터 이용되어 왔으며, 최근 들어서는 자원을 재순환하기 위한 측면으로 이용되고 있다. 그러나, 환경적인 측면에서 가축분뇨를 농경지에 시용하였을 때 미생물적 평가나 규제기준은 비용과 시간이 많이 요구되어 우리나라에서는 이에 대한 연구가 수행되지 못한 실정이다. 따라서, 본 연구는 밭토양에서 토양수분과 온도조건에 따른 분변성 대장균의 사멸율을 조사하여 분변성 대장균이 외부 환경에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 수준을 평가하고자 수행하였다. 시료는 토양수분조건(10, 35, 65, 80%) 및 온도조건 (20, 25, $30^{\circ}C$)별로 정해진 기간 (3, 7, 14, 21, 28일) 동안 배양되었으며 각각의 시료에 포함된 대장균의 수는 plating method 를 이용하여 측정되었다. 분산분석을 통한 측정자료의 통계분석 결과, 분변성 대장균의 생존에는 토양수분함량과 온도가 주 요인이었는데, 특히 토양수분함량이 감소할수록 그리고 온도가 증가할수록 E. coli의 사멸율은 직선적으로 증가하였다. 또한, 토양수분 조건과 온도조건 중에서 분변성 대장균의 사멸율은 온도조건에 더 상관이 높은 것으로 나타났으며, 모든 온도조건에서 10%의 토양수분조건에서 분변성 대장균의 사멸율이 높았다. 이는 토양수분이 E. coli의 사멸에 제한적인 요인으로 작용하였음을 의미한다. 따라서, 본 연구는 가축분뇨를 농경지에 시용할 때 인체의 위해성과 외부 환경의 건전성을 유지하기 위해서는 고온 저습한 토양조건에서 시용하여야 한다는 현실적인 가이드라인을 제시하고자 한다.

본 연구는 Escherichia coli O157:H7 균주를 살균하고자 감마선 단독 및 가열과의 병용처리 효과를 조사하였다. E. coli O157:H7 균주의 가열 단독처리시 D값은 $50^{\circ}C$에서 129.2분, $55^{\circ}C$에서 27.1분, $60^{\circ}C$에서 2.4분으로 나타났다. E. coli O157:H7 균주는 0.03 M cysteine, 1% sodium citrate 및 5% sucrose가 첨가된 배지에서는 열에 대한 저항성이 증가하였고 1%, meat extract, 1% casein 및 1% casamino acid가 첨가된 배지에서는 감소하였다. 감마선 단독처리시는 $D_{10}$ 값과 불활성화 계수가 0.116 kGy와 $17{\sim}25$ 이였으나 가열과의 병용처리시는 약 0.07 kGy와 $25{\sim}41$로 나타났다. 이로서 가열과 방사선의 병용처리는 E. coli O157:H7 균주의 방사선 감수성을 현저하게 상승시켜 본 균주의 살균에 효과적이었다.

Time-dependent inactivation of E. coli GTP cyclohydrolase I with a 2',3'-dialdehyde derivative of GTP (oGTP) was directed to the active site of the enzyme, and was dependent on the concentration of oGTP. The kinetics of inactivation were biphasic with a rapid reaction occurring immediately upon exposure of the enzyme to oGTP followed by a slow rate of inactivation. The $K_i$ value of oGTP for the enzyme was 0.25 mM. Inactivation was prevented by preincubation of the enzyme with GTP, the substrate of the enzyme. At 100% inactivation, 2.3 mol of [8.5'-$^3H$]oGTP were bound per each enzyme subunit, which consists of two identical polypeptides. The active site residue which reacted with the affinity label was lysine. oGTP interacted selectively with the ${\varepsilon}$-amino group of lysine in the GTP-binding site to form a morpholine-like structure which was stable without sodium borohydride treatment. However, triphosphate group was eliminated during the hydrolysis step. To identify the active site of the enzyme, [8.5'-$^3H$]oGTP-labeled enzyme was cleaved by endoproteinase Lys-C, and the $^3H$-labeled peptide was purified by HPLC. The amino acid sequence of the active site peptide was Pro-Ser-Leu-Ser-Lys, which corresponds to the aminoterminal sequence of the enzyme.

The Fenton reaction, which refers to the reaction between ferrous ions and hydrogen peroxide to produce the OH radical, has not been widely applied to the disinfection of microorganisms despite being economic and environmentally friendly. Cho et al. have previously proposed the neutral photo ferrioxalate system as a solution to the problems posed by the Fenton reaction in acidic conditions, but this system still requires an external hydrogen peroxide supply. In the present study, we developed a simple disinfection technology using the photo or solar ferrioxalate reaction without the need for an external hydrogen peroxide supply. E. coli was employed as the indicating microorganism. The study results demonstrated the effectiveness of the photo ferrioxalate system in inactivating E. coli without any external hydrogen peroxide supply, as long as dissolved oxygen is supplied. Furthermore, the solar ferrioxalate system achieved faster inactivation of E. coli than an artificial light source at similar irradiance.
