In most agricultural soils, ammonium ($NH_4^+$) from fertilizer is quickly converted to nitrate ($NO_3^-$) by the process of nitrification which is crucial to the efficiency of N fertilizers and their impact on the environment. However, nitrification studies have been studied extensively in agricultural soils, not in a newly reclaimed tidal soil which show saline-sodic and high pH. Therefore, understanding the fate of nitrogen species transformed from urea introduced into reclaimed tidal soil is important for nutrient management and environmental quality. This paper reviewed studies regarding to transformation and fate of nitrogen sources such as urea under the circumstances of a reclaimed tidal soils located in a western coastal area.

Beijerinckia indica를 통한 Heteropolysaccharide-7(PS-7)생산 최적화를 위해 다양한 탄소원과 질소원을 첨가하여 다른 배지 조성들이 PS-7에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 높은 C/N ratio에서 PS-7 생산을 배양 40시간까지 효과적으로 증가시킬 수 있었으며 낮은 C/N ratio에선 탄소원으로 첨가한 glucose가 균체의 생산에 사용되었을뿐 PS-7의 생산은 낮았다. 하지만, 높은 C/N ratio에서는 배양액의 점도로 균체의 생산이 정체하는 것으로 보아 본 실험에서는 20g/l glucose와 $NH_{4}NO_3$ 7.5 mM으로 33.3의 C/N ratio가 PS-7 생산에 적절한 비율인 것으로 관찰되었다. 다양한 탄소원을 첨가한 결과, B. indica는 PS-7 생산을 위하여 탄소원으로 hexose 또는 glucose-generating 당을 효율적으로 이용할 수 있었다. Beijerinckia indica를 이용한 PS-7 생산을 위해 첨가한 다양한 탄소원 중 sucrose 농도가 최고의 PS-7(6.96 g/L)을 생산 하였다. 51 배양기를 이용한 배양에서 탄소원 20 g/L glucose, 질소원 7.5 mM $NH_{4}NO_3$이 포함된 MSM 배지내 배양된 B. indica의 세포 농도가 최고 2.5 g/L이였고, 생산된 최고 PS-7농도는 7.5 g/L(35174 cp)으로 나타났다. 질소원이 완전히 소모된 12시간 이후, 7.5 mM의 $NH_{4}NO_3$, glutamine, glutamate을 첨가한 MSM 배지에서의 B. indica 배앙 결과, 질소원이 B. indica 내에서 탄소원 대사를 조절하는 역할을 하는 것을 관찰할 수 있었으며 최종적으로 PS-7의 생산을 조절할 수 있었다.

Mevinolin을 생산하기 위하여 Penicillium citrinum Thorn (KCTC 6990)을 이용하여 배양시간에 따른 세포성장, pH 변화, g glucose 농도, mevinolin 생성량, 온도 변화, 초기 pH 변화, 탄소원 효과, 질소원 효과, mineral 효과, glucose 농도변화, 회분배 양 에 따른 mevinolin 생성의 발효결과는 다음과 같다. 플라스크에서 배양시간에 따른 glucose 농도와 mevinolin 생성 을 검토한 결과 glucose가 배양 5일 후에 거의 소비되었으며, mevinolin 생성은 배양 7일에서 최대 생성을 나타내었다. mevinolin 생성을 위한 최적 pH는 3.9이며, 최적 온도는 $24^{\circ}C$였다. 탄소원들 중 glucose가 3.5 mg/L로 mevinolin 생성이 가장 좋았으며, 다음은 glycerol, maltose, galactose 등의 순서로 양호 함을 보였다. 여러 질소원 중에서 가장 효과적인 질소원은 peptone이었으며, 최대 mevinolin 생생량은 3.5 mg/L이었다. 다음은 soybean meal, $NaN0_3$, com steep liquior 등의 순서로 양호함 을 보였다. Mineral 종류의 효과로서는 $K_2HP0_4$가 3.8 mg/L로 mevinolin 생성이 가장 많았으며, 다음은 $MgS0_4.7H_2O$가 3.5 mg/L으로 비교적 양호함을 보였다 계면활성제의 효과로서는 비 아온계인 Tween 20이 4.5 mg/L로 mevinolin 생성량이 가장 높 았으며, 다음은 Tween 80, Tween 40, Span 80의 순서로 양호함 을 보였다. Glucose 농도변화에 따른 결과는 100 g/L일 때 4.0 mg/L로 mevinolin 생산량이 가장 높았다. 회분배양일 때는 최대 mevinolin 생산은 배양 8일에 10.3 mg/L로 최대치였다. glucose 초기농도 100 g/L일 때 최대 세포수율은 0.288 g/g이었고 최대 n mevinolin 수율은 0.103 mg/g이었다. 또한, 세포 최대 비생성속 도는 0.052 밍g-hr이었고, mevinolin 최대 비생성속도는 0.016 mg/g-hr이 었다. Mevinolin의 생산성을 보다 높이기 위해 회분식 배양에서 pH, 온도, 배지농도 등의 연관성을 밝히고, 부산물인 오일의 해결방안을 모색해야 할 것이며, 나아가서 유가배양을 통홰 생산선을 높이는 연구가 진행되어야 할 것으로 사료된다.

Natural abundances of stable isotopes of nitrogen and carbon (${\delta}^{15}N$ and ${\delta}^{13}C$) are being widely used to study N and C cycle processes in plant and soil systems. Variations in ${\delta}^{15}N$ of the soil and the plant reflect the potentially variable isotope signature of the external N sources and the isotope fractionation during the N cycle process. $N_2$ fixation and N fertilizer supply the nitrogen, whose ${\delta}^{15}N$ is close to 0%o, whereas the compost as. an organic input generally provides the nitrogen enriched in $^{15}N$ compared to the atmospheric $N_2$. The isotope fractionation during the N cycle process decreases the ${\delta}^{15}N$ of the substrate and increases the ${\delta}^{15}N$ of the product. N transformations such as N mineralization, nitrification, denitrification, assimilation, and the $NH_3$ volatilization have a specific isotope fractionation factor (${\alpha}$) for each N process. Variation in the ${\delta}^{13}C$ of plants reflects the photosynthetic type of plant, which affects the isotope fractionation during photosynthesis. The ${\delta}^{13}C$ of C3 plant is significantly lower than, whereas the ${\delta}^{13}C$ of C4 plant is similar to that of the atmospheric $CO_2$. Variation in the isotope fractionation of carbon and nitrogen can be observed under different environmental conditions. The effect of environmental factors on the stomatal conductance and the carboxylation rate affects the carbon isotope fractionation during photosynthesis. Changes in the environmental factors such as temperature and salt concentration affect the nitrogen isotope fractionation during the N cycle processes; however, the mechanism of variation in the nitrogen isotope fractionation has not been studied as much as that in the carbon isotope fractionation. Isotope fractionation factors of carbon and nitrogen could be the integrated factors for interpreting the effects of the environmental factors on plants and soils.

선형의 남조류 아나베나는 광합성과 질소고정 능이 있으며, 이는 아마도 이 남조류가 각종 육수 환경에 잘 적응하는데 큰 역할을 했다고 볼 수 있다. 작은 patS라는 유전자는 질소 고정세포의 형성을 막으며 결과적으로 질소원이 부족한 환경에서 아나베나의 죽음을 가져온다. 본 연구는 patS 유전자 주변의 DNA 염기 서열을 분석하여 codon 활용도를 알아 본 결과 patS를 제외한 다른 유전자가 존재하지 않음을 밝혔다. patS를 포함하는 세 개의 겹치는 cosmid를 찾아서 기존의 알려진 이형세포 발달 유전자를 탐색하였으나 나타나지 않았다. 질소원의 결핍에 반응하는 patS 유전자의 발현을 Northern blot 분석과 lacZ reporter 유전자 합성 실험을 통하여 각각 전사와 번역의 단계에서 알아보았다. patS 유전자의 발현은 배지로부터 질소원이 제거된 후 12시간 내에 급격히 증가하는 것으로 나타났다.

젖산 생산에 큰 비중을 차지하는 원료비용 절감을 위한 다양한 공업적 질소원의 이용 가능성을 조사하였다. CSL를 사용하여 회분 발효한 결과, CSL 5%배지 발효시 높은 생산성을 보였으며, 정제 CSL을 사용한 배지에서 젖산 생산성은 CSL보다 약 1.21 배 증가율을 보였다. Yeast extract와 CSL 혼합질소원의 배지조성을 변화시켜 LBM5의 젖산 생성정도를 알아본 결과, 조성 비율 1:8일 때 우수한 발효율을 관찰 할 수 있었다. 발효 폐기물의 대체 질소원 사용가능성을 조사하기 위하여 맥주공장에서 부산물로 배출되는 폐효모를 이용하여 발효시에도 CSL 5%와 비슷한 발효율을 얻었다 연속발효 수행결과, 최적의 희석율은 0.05-0.065-1h였으며 젖산 생산성에 있어서 회분발효보다 1.93.0배증가하였다. 한편 초기 순수배지에 들어가는 yeast extract양의 1/3-2/3를 발효폐액에 첨가하여 회분발효 및 연속발효 실험을 수행하여 높은 젖산 생산성을 얻으므로써 공정상 원료비 절감효과를 기대할 수 있어으며 잔류 영양분을 재사용함으로써 폐액량 감소에 따른 처리비용 절감이라는 이중적인 효과를 얻게 되었다.

For efficient lincomycin production from Streptomyces lincolnensis L1245, various vegetable oils, natural nitrogen sources, and surfactants were investigated at the pilot-scale level in the flask. Olive oil as the sole carbon source was the most suitable one for producing lincomycin. When 20 g/lof olive oil was used, the lincomycin concentration and lipase activity reached 1.01 g/land 182 U/ml, respectively, after 5 days of culture. Among the various unsaturated fatty acids, when linolenic acid was used, the cell growth and lincomycin production were markedly decreased. On the other hand, when 0.2 g/l of oleic acid was added to the culture broth, the maximum lincomycin concentration was 1.0 g/l, which was about 1.7-fold higher than that obtained without the addition of oleic acid. Among the various natural nitrogen sources, pharmamedia or soybean meal was the most suitable nitrogen source. In particular, in the case of a mixture of 10 g/l of pharmamedia and soybean meal, 1.5 g/l of lincomycin concentration and 220 U/ml of lipase activity were obtained. When Span 180 was used as the surfactant, lincomycin production, lipase activity, and oil consumption increased. The correlation between the consumption rates of oil and lincomycin production in a culture using olive oil as the sole carbon source was also investigated. The lincomycin production depended on the consumption rate of olive oil. Using these results, fed-batch cultures for comparing the use of olive oil and starch as a conventional carbon source were carried out in a 5-1 fermentor. When olive oil was used as the sole carbon source, 34 g/l of olive oil was consumed after 7 days of culture. The maximum lincomycin concentration was 3.0 g/l, which was about 2.0-fold higher than that of starch medium after 7 days of culture. The product yield was 0.09 gig of consumed carbon source, which was about 3.0-fold higher than that of starch medium after 7 days of culture.

A rumen simulated continuous culture (RSCC) system was used to study the influence of supplementation of the three different types of protein sources such as urea, casein and soy protein on rumen microbial synthesis in terms of rumen microbial synchronization. The urea treatment showed the highest pH value. Ammonia nitrogen concentration was rapidly increased after feeding and not significantly different in the urea treatment (13.53 mg/100 ml). Protozoa numbers were not significantly different for soy protein and casein treatment compared to urea treatments during incubation. The average concentration of total VFA (mMol) was not detected with significant difference among treatments, but iso-butyrate production showed the highest for soy protein treatment among treatments (p<0.001). The lowest concentration in total iso-acids (iso-butyrate and iso-valerate) production was observed in urea treatment. The soy protein treatment showed no significantly change in acetate/propionate. The amounts of dry matter (DM) out flow showed no significant difference among treatments. Organic matter (OM) flow was the highest for urea treatments and the lowest for casein treatment (p<0.03). The nitrogen flow for casein treatment was not significantly different from other treatments. The efficiency of microbial protein synthesis in terms of microbial nitrogen (MN) synthesis (g MN/kg ADOM) digested in the rumen was highest for casein treatment (58.53 g MN/kg ADOM) compared to soy protein and urea (p<0.05). This result suggests that rumen ammonia releasing rate may influence on microbial protein synthesis in the rumen.

This study examined the effects of com gluten (CG) and its hydrolysate consumptions on weight reduction in rats fed a high-fat diet. Eight-month-old male Sprague-Dawley rats (n=40) were fed a high-fat diet (40% calorie as fat) for 4 weeks. They were then randomly divided into four groups and fed the isocaloric diets with different protein sources for 8 weeks. The protein sources were casein (control group), intact CG (CG group), CG hydrolysate A (CGHA group, 30% of protein as peptides and 70% as free amino acids) and CG hydrolysate P (CGHP group, 93% of protein as peptides and 7% as free amino acids). Body weight gain, adipose tissue weights, nitrogen balance, absorptions of energy, protein and fat, lipid profiles in plasma, liver and feces and hepatic activities of camitine palmitoyl transferase (CPT), fatty acid synthase (FAS), malic enzyme (ME) and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH) were assessed. The CGHA diet had the highest amount of BCAAs, especially leucine, and most of them existed as free amino acid forms. The CGHA group showed significant weight reduction and negative nitrogen balance. Protein absorption and apparent protein digestibility in the CGHA group were significantly lower than those in other groups. Adipose tissue weights were the lowest in the CGHA group. Activity of CPT tended to be higher in the CGHA group than in other groups and those of FAS, ME and G6PDH were significantly lower in the CGHA group than in other groups. In conclusion, the CGHA diet which had relatively high amounts of free amino acids and BCAAs, especially leucine, had a weight reduction effect by lowering adipose tissue weight and the activities of FAS, ME and G6PDH in experimental animals, but it seemed to be a negative result induced by lowering protein absorption, increasing urinary nitrogen excretion and protein catabolism.
