4l 교반식 생물반응기에서, celite담체에 고정화된 Tolypocladium inflatum 균주 배양시의 산소전달 계수($k_La$)가 같은 세포농도 하에서 액상배양시의 값과 비교할 때, 고정상균주의 높은 비산소흡수율에도 불구하고, 2배 이상 증가되었다. 그 결과 고정상배 양의 경우, 용존산소량이 포화상태의 75%를 초과하는 충분한 산소량이 배양기간 내내 유지될 수 있었으나, 액상배양의 경우에는 용존산소량이 포화상태의 50% 이하까지 감소되었다. 임펠러의 교반속도에 따른 $k_La$의 단순 선형 의존 현상이, 250rpm에서 550rpm 범위에서 고정상배양 및 액상배양 모두에서 관찰되었으며, 그 의존정도는 액상배양의 경우 세포 농도와 함수관계인 반면, 고정상배양의 경우에는 세포농도와 무관하였다. 반면에 두 배양시스템 모두에서, 통기율 변화에 따른 산소전달율은 2.5vvm까지는 함수관계를 보였으나 그 의존도는 임펠러 교반속도의 변화에 따른 영향과 비교할 때 훨씬 미미하였으며, 2.5vvm 이상의 통기율에서는 산소전달현상에 별로 영향을 주지 못했다. CyA 생산 면에서 볼 때, 고정상세포는 형태학 또는 생리학적으로 훌륭한 배양상태를 유지할 수 있어서, 동일조건의 액상배양과 비교해서 약 2배 이상 생산성이 증가되였다. 그러므로 교반식 생물반응기를 이용한 celite-고정상배양법 은 고농도배양이 가능하다는 측면에서 볼 때, CyA 대량생산 산업화를 위한 대체 공정으로서 훌륭한 전망을 제시해 준다.

Soil-borne infectious disease including Pythium aphanidermatum and Rhizoctonia solani causes severe damage to plants, such as cucumber. This soil-borne infectious disease was not controlled effectively by chemical pesticide. Since these diseases spread through the soil, chemical agents are usually ineffective. Instead, biological control, including antagonistic microbe can be used as a preferred control method. An efficient method was developed to select an antagonistic strain to be used as a biological control agent strain. In this new method, surface tension reduction potential of an isolate was included in the ‘decision factor’ in addition to the other factors, such as growth rate, and pathogen inhibition rate. Considering these 3 decision factors by a statistical method, an isolate from soil was selected and was identified as Bacillus sp. GB16. In the pot test, this strain showed the best performance among the isolated strains. The lowest disease incidence rate and fastest seed growth was observed when Bacillus sp. GB16 was used. Therefore this strain was considered as plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR). The action of surface tension reducing component was deduced as the enhancement of wetting, spreading, and residing of antagonistic strain in the rhizosphere. This result showed that new selection method was significantly effective in selecting the best antagonistic strain for biological control of soil-borne infectious plant pathogen. The antifungal substances against P. aphanidermatum and R. solani were partially purified from the culture filtrates of Bacillus sp. GB16. In this study, lipopeptide possessing antifungal activity was isolated from Bacillus sp. GB16 cultures by various purification procedures and was identified as a surfactin-like lipopeptide based on the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), high performance liquid chromatography mass spectroscopy (HPLC-MS), and quadrupole time-of-flight (Q-TOF) ESI-MS/MS data. The lipopeptide, named GB16-BS, completely inhibited the growth of Pythium aphanidermatum, Rhizoctonia solani, Penicillium sp., and Botrytis cineria at concentrations of 10 and 50 mg/L, respectively. A novel method to prevent the foaming and to provide oxygen was developed. During the production of surface active agent, such as lipopeptide (surfactin), large amount of foam was produced by aeration. This resulted in the carryover of cells to the outside of the fermentor, which leads to the significant loss of cells. Instead of using cell-toxic antifoaming agents, low amount of hydrogen peroxide was added. Catalase produced by cells converted hydrogen peroxide into oxygen and water. Also addition of corn oil as an oxygen vector as well as antifoaming agent was attempted. In addition, Ca-stearate, a metal soap, was added to enhance the antifoam activity of com oil. These methods could prevent the foaming significantly and maintained high dissolved oxygen in spite of lower aeration and agitation. Using these methods, high cell density, could be achieved with increased lipopeptide productivity. In conclusion to produce an effective biological control agent for soil-borne infectious disease, following strategies were attempted i) effective screening of antagonist by including surface tension as an important decision factor ii) identification of antifungal compound produced from the isolated strain iii) novel oxygenation by $H_2O_2-catalase$ with vegetable oil for antifungal lipopeptide production.

흰쥐의 허혈-재관류 적출심장에서 arachidonic acid의 투여에 의해 촉진된 superoxide anion의 생성과 심근손상에 대한 cyclobuxine (스테로이드성 알카로이드)의 영향을 관찰하였다. 적출심장을 Langendorff 관류장치에 현수하고 0.5 ml/min의 저용량으로 45분간 관류한 후 정상관류 (7ml/min)로 복귀시켜 허혈-재관류 심장으로 사용하였다. 재관류 시 arachidonate (0.1과 $1.0\;{\mu}g/ml$)를 투여한 후 superoxide anion의 생성을 관찰하였고, 좌심실 내의 지질 과산화정도는 MDA의 량으로 측정하였으며, 심근손상의 지표로 lactic dehydrogenase (LDH)유리를 측정하였다. 한편 cyclobuxine (1.0과 $10\;{\mu}g/ml$)을 허혈 이전부터 전관류 과정 동안 투여하여 arachidonate에 의해 초래되는 손상에 대한 영향을 관찰하였다. Arachidonic acid는 용량적으로 superoxide anion의 생성을 증가시켰으며 이 작용은 superoxide dismutase (SOD 300 U/ml)와 cyclobuxine에 의해 현저히 억제되었다. Arachidonate를 투여하였을 때 좌심실 내의 malondialdehyde (MDA)의 생성이 현저히 증가되었으며 cyclobuxine은 MDA의 생성을 용량적으로 억제시켰다. 또한 arachidonate는 LDH의 유리를 증가시켰으며 arachidonate에 의한 LDH의 유리 증가는 SOD와 cyclobuxine에 의해 유의하게 억제되었다. 이상의 결과로 흰쥐의 허혈-재관류 심장에서 스테로이드성 알카로이드인 cyclobuxine이 arachidonate에 의한 반응성 산소대사물의 생성과 심근세포손상을 유의하게 억제하는 것으로 관찰되었다.

The biocide sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) is widely used for controlling algal growth, and this application can be extended to marine environments as well. This study evaluates the biocidal efficiency and cellular toxicity of NaOCl on the harmful dinoflagellate Cochlodinium polykrikoides, with emphasis on pigment production and antioxidant enzyme activity. The test organism showed dose-dependent decrease in growth rate on exposure to NaOCl, and the 72 h $EC_{50}$ was measured to be $0.584mg\;L^{-1}$. NaOCl significantly decreased pigment levels and chlorophyll autofluorescence intensity, indicating possible detrimental effects on the photosystem of C. polykrikoides. Moreover, it significantly increased the activities of antioxidant enzymes, suggesting the production of reactive oxygen species in the cells. These data indicate that NaOCl exerted deleterious effects on the photosynthetic machinery and induced oxidative damage in the dinoflagellate and this biocide could be effectively used for the control of algal blooms.

[ $CO_2$ ]원천 분리 수소제조 반응시스템은 금속 산화물의 산화/환원 반응을 이용하여 기존의 수증기-메탄 개질 반응을 3단계의 반응시스템으로 분리함으로써 메탄 연소 시 발생되는 $CO_2$를 원천적으로 분리함과 동시에 고순도 수소를 별도의 후단 공정없이 직접 생산해 내는 신 개념의 수소 생산 기술이다. 반응 시스템은 크게 연료(즉, $CH_4$)가 공급되는 연료반응기(FR: Fuel Reactor), 수증기가 공급되는 수증기반응기(SR: Steam Reactor) 및 공기가 공급되는 공기반응기(AR: Air Reactor)로 구성되며, 다른 반응기와 비교하여 반응 매체의 전환율과 선택도를 높이기 위하여 긴 체류 시간을 확보할 수 있는 두 개의 이동 층(FR, SR)으로 구성되었다. 본 연구에서는 200 L/h의 수소를 생산할 수 있는 매체 순환식 이동층 반응기 제작을 목적으로 수소발열량 기준 0.55kW급 이동 층 반응기의 개념 설계 및 cold model을 설계 제작하고 주요 운전 변수에 따른 수력학적 특성을 결정하였다. 개념 설계 결과 원하는 매체 전환율을 얻기 위해 필요한 고체 순환속도범위($20{\sim}100kg/m^2s$)를 결정하였다. Cold-model 실험 결과, loop-seal의 유속이 증가함에 따라 고체 순환 속도가 증가하였으며 이를 통하여 고체 순환속도 조절이 가능하였다. 반응시스템의 안정적인 조업을 위해서는 이동층(FR, SR) 조업 조건을 최소 유동화 속도 부근으로 유지하는 것이 좋은 것으로 나타났다. 이동층 내 고체 체류 량은 기상유속 및 고체 순환 속도 종가에 따라 감소하였다. 본 연구를 통하여 조업조건에서 개념 설계에서 원하는 고체 순환 속도 및 흐름 특성을 얻을 수 있음을 확인하였다.

A conventional thermophilic anaerobic digester was converted into a thermophilic high-rate hybrid anaerobic reactor (THAR) for treating distillery wastewater. The THAR has been operating successfully since May 1995 at a loading rate of 5.45 to $11.52{\;}kg/\textrm{m}^3/d$ (maximum of 15.02). The THAR has demonstrated a soluble Chemical Oxygen Demand (sCOD) removal efficiency of 85 to 91% and a total COD (tCOD) removal efficiency of as much as 72 to 84%. Product gas had a methane content of 59 to 68%. The tCOD removal rates were 4.31 to 5.43, 6.26 to 6.89, and 9.03 to $9.78kg{\;}tCOD/\textrm{m}^3/d$ for tapioca, com, and naked-barley wastewater, respectively. The sCOD removal rates ranged from 3.75 to 4.79,3.28 to 4.89, and 5.57 to 6.21kg $sCOD/\textrm{m}^3/d$ for tapioca, com, and naked-barley wastewater, respectively. There were unknown substances in a naked-barley distillery wastewater that were identified as being toxic for microorganisms. However, the THAR treated naked-barley wastewater continuously for 26 days, operating at an average tCOD loading of $11.08{\;}kg/\textrm{m}^3/d$without any signs of deterioration in either COD removal efficiency or gas production rate. During this period, the average removal efficiencies of tCOD and sCOD were 84% and 91%, respectively, and the gas production rate averaged 6.61 to $7.57{\;}\textrm{m}^3/\textrm{m}^3$ reactor/d which produced 0.57 to $0.69{\;}\textrm{m}^3{\;}biogas/kg{\;}tCOD_{rem}$. From tapioca and com wastewater, the reactor showed an average gas production rate of 3.18 to 3.46 and 4.91 to $5.22{\;}\textrm{m}^3/\textrm{m}^3$ reactor/d which produced 0.53 to 0.69 and 0.62 to $0.71{\;}\textrm{m}^3/kg{\;}tCOD_{rem}$, respectively.

비예혼합 대향류화염에서 산소부화에 따른 NOx 생성특성에 관한 수치해석이 수행되었다. 순산소의 연소과정에서 공기침투에 의한 부득이한 질소 유입의 상황을 체계적으로 고려하기 위하여, 산화제의 $O_2$는 체적비 21%에서 100%까지 변화되었다. 결과적으로 NO 배출지수$(EI_{NO})$는 산소부화율 75%까지 증가하다가 급격히 감소하는 경향을 보여준다. 이러한 경향은 화염온도, 화염두께 및 체류시간 보다는 NOx 생성과 관련된 $N_2$ 소모율 변화에 의해 설명될 수 있음을 확인하였으며, 특히 N+NO=$N_2+O$ 반응이 가장 크게 기여함을 알 수 있었다.

Conventional aquaculture faces declining productivity, shifting to recirculating aquaculture system (RAS), known for minimizing water usage and maintaining consistent water temperatures for year-round fish growth. Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), a globally important cold-water species and the third most farmed fish in inland waters of Korea, valued for its fecundity and rapid growth. Dissolved oxygen, an important environmental factor affecting fish production and economics, highlights the need for smart aquaculture practices. Since 2018, the rise of intelligent aquaculture platforms, incorporating information and communications technology (ICT), emphasizes the essential role of RAS implementation. This eight-week study aimed to determine the optimal dissolved oxygen concentration for rainbow trout in RAS, utilizing a device for continuous monitoring, control and record. Dissolved oxygen concentrations were set at 5-6 mg/L, 9-10 mg/L, 14-15 mg/L and 17-18 mg/L. The growth rate significantly decreased at 5-6 mg/L, with no significant differences in other experimental groups. In hematological analysis, growth hormone (GH) was significantly highest at 5-6 mg/L, followed by 9-10 mg/L while Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) was significantly lowest at 5-6 mg/L. In conclusion, the optimal dissolved oxygen concentration for rainbow trout in RAS is approximately 9-10 mg/L. Higher concentrations do not contribute to further growth or profitability.

A newly isolated Citrobacter sp. Y19 catalyzes the CO-dependent $H_2$ production (biological water-gas shift reaction) by the actions of CO dehydrogenase (CODH) and hydrogenase. Y 19 requires $O_2$ for fast growth, but its $H_2$ production activity is significantly inhibited by $O_2$. In the present study, the effect of $O_2$ on the activities of CODH ard hydrogenase was investigated quantitatively in both whole cells and broken cells, based on CO-dependent or methyl viologen (MV)-dependent $H_2$ production in addition to CO-dependent MV reduction. In crude cell extracts, CODH activity was mostly found in the soluble fraction. Inactivation of CODH and hydrogenase activities by $O_2$ followed the first-order decay kinetics, and the dependence of the rate constants on $O_2$ partial pressure could be expressed by the Michaelis-Menten equation. In whole cells, the maximum deactivation rate constants ($k_{d,max}$ of hydrogenase and CODH were quite similar: $0.07{\pm}0.03 min^{-1}\;and\;0.10{\pm}0.04 min^{-1}$, respectively. However, the first-order rate constant ($k_{d,max}/K_s$) of CODH ($0.25\;min^{-1}\;atm^{-1}$) at low $O_2$ partial pressures was about 3-fold higher than that of the hydrogenase, since the half-saturation constant ($K_s$) of CODH was about half of that of hydrogenase. In broken cells, both enzymes became significantly more sensitive to $O_2$ compared to the unbroken cells, while $k_{d,max}/K_s$ increased 37-fold for hydrogenase and 6.7-fold for CODH. When whole cells were incubated under anaerobic conditions after being exposed to air for 1 h, hydrogenase activity was recovered more than 90% in 2 h suggesting that the deactivation of hydrogenase by $O_2$ was reversible. On the contrary, CODH activity was not recovered once deactivated by $O_2$ and the only way to recover the activity was to synthesize new CODH. This study indicates that $O_2$ sensitivity of $H_2$ production activity of Citrobacter sp. Y19 is an important drawback as in other $H_2-producing$ bactria.
