Seasonal biomass and carbon, nitrogen contents change of marsh club-rush (Schoenoplectus trigueter) was investigated in Nakdong river estuary, located near Busan, Korea. New shoot of S. trigueter sprouted from tuber in April and fast growth season was followed until mature in August. Mature lengths of shoot and root were 60 and 9.4 cm, respectively. The increase of biomass showed similar seasonal trends with length. Mature biomass were $3.5gind^{-1}$ in wet weight and $0.6gind^{-1}$ in dry weight. The biomass of S. trigueter in areal basis was also highest during July and August ($186gDWm^{-2}$). The shoot of S. trigueter was disappeared in October from the ground but the biomass of shoot was maintained as a form of detritus in sediment. The amount of S. trigueter detritus was about 30~50% of the biomass in August. During winter, the amount of detritus decreased with time but the biomass of root+tuber remained same, implying the root+tuber part is alive. The net productivity of S. trigueter estimated from biomass change were $538gDWm^{-2}yr^{-1}$, $240g-Cm^{-2}yr^{-1}$, $8.2g-Nm^{-2}yr^{-1}$ in dry weight, carbon and nitrogen equivalent respectively. During winter, carbon to nitrogen ratio in detritus increased implying the preferred remineralization of nitrogen during microbial degradation.

본 연구는 유기 농경지의 토양 및 양분관리 방법으로 가축분과 풋거름(헤어리베치)공급, 윤작 시스템. 그리고 경운 및 무경운 처리가 토양환경에 미치는 영향을 구명하고자 수행하였다. 신규 옥수수 재배 토양의 양분공급원으로 가축분 퇴비, 헤어리베치와 같은 유기물 공급이 화학비료 처리에 비해 토양 유기물 함량을 높이며 토양의 미생물 밀도와 미생물체량 C함량을 증가시키는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 토양 미생물 군집의 기능적 다양성이 증가하는 것을 확인하였다. 윤작재배 효과로 토양 화학성은 처리간의 차이가 뚜렷하게 나타나지 않았지만 옥수수-밀, 옥수수-헤어리베치 윤작 처리구가 옥수수 단작 처리구보다 토양의 미생물체량 C 함량과 종 다양성 지수가 높은 경향을 보였다. 경운 여부에 따른 토양 화학성은 처리간의 뚜렷한 차이를 나타내지 않았다. 토양 미생물 군집의 기질 이용에서 무경운이 경운처리 보다 다소 높게 나타났지만 통계적인 유의차는 없었다. 처리에 따른 토양의 화학성과 미생물상간의 요인간 상관관계 분석 결과, 토양 유기물 함량과 치환성 칼륨 함량은 기질 이용도, 기질 풍부도와 양의 상관관계를 보였다. 이러한 결과로부터 가축분 퇴비, 헤어리베치와 같은 유기물 시용으로 옥수수 재배 토양의 화학성 및 미생물상에 긍정적인 효과를 나타낸 것으로 판단되었다.

Recently the production of ethanol from lignocecllulosics has received much attention due to immense potential for conversion of renewable biometerials into biofuels and chemicals. Fomitopsis palustris causes a typycal brown-rot and is unusual in that it rapidly depolymerize the cellulose in wood without removing the surrounding lignin that normally prevents microbial attack. This study demonstrated that the brown rot basidiomycete F. palustris was able to degrade crystalline cellulose. This fungus could also produce the three major cellulases (BGL, EXG and EG) when the cells were grown on 2.0% Avicel. The fungus was able to degrade both the crystalline and amorphous forms of cellulose from woody biomasses. Moreover, we found that this fungus has the processive EG like CBH which are able to degrade the crystalline region of cellulose. To establish the cellulase system in relation with degradation of woody biomass, we performed that purification, characterization and molecular cloning of a BGL, EGs and GLA from F. palustris grown on Avicel.

The esterase gene Est8 from the thermophilic bacterium Bacillus sp. K91 was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. The monomeric enzyme exhibited a theoretical molecular mass of 24.5 kDa and an optimal activity around $50^{\circ}C$ at pH 9.0. A model of Est8 was constructed using a hypothetical YxiM precursor structure (2O14_A) from Bacillus subtilis as template. The structure showed an ${\alpha}/{\beta}$-hydrolase fold and indicated the presence of a typical catalytic triad consisting of Ser-11, Asp-182, and His-185, which were investigated by site-directed replacements coupled with kinetic characterization. Asp-182 and His-185 residues were more critical than the Ser-11 residue in the catalytic activity of Est8. A comparison of the amino acid sequence showed that Est8 could be grouped into the GDSL family and further classified as an SGNH hydrolase. Est8 is a new member of the SGNH hydrolase subfamily and may employ a different catalytic mechanism.

Chlorella spp. are green algae that are found across wide-ranging habitats from deserts to arctic regions, with various strains having adapted to survive under diverse environmental conditions. In this study, two novel Chlorella strains (ABC-002, ABC-008) were isolated from a freshwater lake in South Korea during the winter season and examined for possible use in the biofuel production process. The comparison of ABC-002 and ABC-008 strains with Chlorella vulgaris UTEX265 under two different temperatures ($10^{\circ}C$, $25^{\circ}C$) revealed their cold-tolerant phenotypes as well as high biomass yields. The maximum quantum yields of UTEX25, ABC-002, and ABC-008 at $10^{\circ}C$ were 0.5594, 0.6747, and 0.7150, respectively, providing evidence of the relatively higher cold-resistance capabilities of these two strains. Furthermore, both the biomass yields and lipid content of the two novel strains were found to be higher than those of UTEX265; the overall lipid productivities of ABC-002 and ABC-008 were 1.7 ~ 2.8 fold and 1.6 ~ 4.2 fold higher compared to that of UTEX265, respectively. Thus, the high biomass and lipid productivity over a wide range of temperatures indicate that C. vulgaris ABC-002 and ABC-008 are promising candidates for applications in biofuel productions via outdoor biomass cultivation.

The efficiency of acid, enzyme and microbial pretreatment of rice bran was compared based on the content of cellulose, hemicellulose, reducing sugars and xylose in the substrate. An isolate of Aspergillus niger or a strain of Trichoderma viride(MTCC 800) was employed for microbial pretreatment of rice bran in solid state. Acid pretreatment resulted in the highest amount of reducing sugars followed by enzyme and microbial pretreatment. A. niger showed a higher rate of hydrolysis than T. viride. The rice bran hydrolysate obtained from the different methods was subsequently fermented to ethanol either by Zymomonas mobilis(NCIM 806) or by Pichia stipitis(NCIM 3497). P. stipitis fermentation resulted in higher ethanol(37% higher) and biomass production($76{\sim}83%$ higher) than those of Z. mobilis. Maximum ethanol production resulted at 12h in Zymomonas fermentation, while in Pichia fermentation, it was observed at 60h. Microbial pretreatment of rice bran by A. niger followed by fermentation employing P. stipitis was more efficient but slower than the other microbial pretreatment and fermentation.

농경지 토양미생물상의 생물지리학적으로 특성을 보고자 우리나라 농경지 토양 미생물의 다양성을 지도화 하였다. 1999년부터 2007년까지 조사되어 농업환경변동조사로 구축된 미생물 균수 및 미생물체량 자료를 DB화하여 세균, 사상균, 바실러스, 그람음성균 및 미생물체량을 분포도 작성에 이용하였다. 세균, 사상균, 바실러스 및 그람음성균의 분포상은 농경지별로 상이한 경향을 보였다. 토양에 서식하는 미생물의 생체중인 미생물체량은 바실러스와 사상균 수처럼 증가하는 경향을 보였다.

The paper presented here is aimed at increasing knowledge on purine metabolism in ruminants and hence the quantification of microbial cells entering the small intestine from urinaη excretion of purine derivatives. Nucleic acid metabolisms of micro-organisms in the rumen, digestion and absorption of nucleic acids entering the intestines, metabolisms of absorbed and endogenous purines involving de novo synthesis of nucleic acids in the ruminants host, and the relationship between absorbed and excreted purines are reviewed. Principal concerns about an amount of purine derivatives excreted in urine in relation to a change in purine-N: total-N ratios in rumen microbes that leave the rumen are discussed. The use of urinary excretion of purine derivatives as an indicator of the amount of microbial biomass leaving the rumen has to be done with some caution since it may be impossible to get a representative sample of microbes entering the intestine and thus yield estimates are relative rather than absolute.

Studies on marine microbial diversity using direct analysis of rRNA sequences have revealed previously unrecognized microbes and novel phylogenetic lineages that represent major components of global microbial assemblages. This diversity in the marine biosphere offers opportunities for research and application in the field of biotechnology; global gas exchange, nutrient and element cycling, biomass md food production, marine bioproducts, and bioprocesses. Especially, deep-sea encompasses the extremes of virtually at] environmental parameters found on Earth and provides extreme microorganisms. In this study several extreme microorganisms were successfully isolated from the deep-sea sediment samples obtained by joining ocean cruises for last 2 years and some of them will be introduced.
