  • 제강슬래그의 재활용 범위를 확대하기 위한 방안으로 제강슬래그를 여재로 이용하여 축산폐수 처리효과를 조사하였다. 제강슬래그를 접촉용 여재로 활용한 순환식 폐수처리 장치를 이용하여 기존의 시설에서 처리된 축산폐수를 재처리한 결과 pH는 제강슬래그의 특성으로 인하여 상승하였으며 질소와 인의 농도를 효과적으로 낮추었으며 COD와 BOD도 감소하였다. 축산단지의 현장실험 결과 여재로 사용한 제강슬래그는 부유물질을 효과적으로 제거하였으며 유입 농도의 갑작스런 변화를 완화하였다. COD와 BOD의 경우 재처리수에서 항상 유입 폐수보다 낮아졌으나 유입수의 농도에 영향을 받았다. 에이징된 제강슬래그를 열처리 한 경우 free-CaO 성분의 증가로 열처리를 하지 않은 경우에 비하여 처리수의 pH 상승 정도가 커졌으며 인 제거 특성도 향상되었다.

  • The aims of this work were to determine the acrosin activity and to evaluate the structural and functional integrity of AS boar spermatozoa. The acrosin activity of spermatozoa were 5.40, 4.10 and 3.40 mIU/10$^{6}$ sperm in raw, extended and frozen semen respectively , which differed significantly each other (P<0.05). After the raw and extended semen were exposured to cold and thermal shock, the acrosin activities of spermatozoa in the raw semen were 5.39, 5.21 and 5.29 mIU/10$^{6}$ sperm for control (non-shock), cold shock and thermal shock, and those of extended semen were 4.21, 3.98 and 4.00 mIU/10$^{6}$ sperm. This value among treatments did not differ significantly. The acrosin activities of spermatozoa in the extended and stored semen were 3.27, 3.52, 3.46 and 3.23 mIU/10/suup 6/ sperm, while hypo-osmotic test(HOST) values were 56.5%, 64.7%, 66.0% and 56.0%, following 4 days storage at 4$^{\circ}C$, 17$^{\circ}C$ , $25^{\circ}C$ and 37$^{\circ}C$, respectively. The results at 17$^{\circ}C$ and $25^{\circ}C$ appeared to be best compared with the other storage temperatures.

  • The aim of this study was to investigate effect of heat stress on expression levels of plasminogen activators (PAs) related mRNAs and proteins, and changes of PAs activity in porcine endometrial explants. The endometrial explants (200 ± 50 mg) were isolated from middle part of uterine horn at follicular phase (Day 19-21) and were pre-incubated in serum-free culture medium at 38.5℃ in 5% CO2 for 18 h. Then, the tissues were transferred into fresh medium and were cultured at different temperature (38.5, 39.5, 40.5 or 41.5℃) for 24 h. The expression level of urokinase-type PA (uPA), type-1 PA inhibitor (PAI-1), type-2 PAI (PAI-2), and heat shock protein-90 (HSP-90) mRNA were analysis by reverse-transcription PCR and proteins were measured by western blotting. The supernatant were used for measurement of PAs activity. In results, mRNA and protein levels of HSP-90 was higher in 41.5℃ treatment groups than other treatment groups (p < 0.05). The expression of uPA, PAI-1, and PAI-2 mRNA were slightly increased by heat stress, however, there were no significant difference. Heat stress condition suppressed expression of active uPA and PAI-2 proteins (p < 0.05), whereas PAI-1 protein was increased (p < 0.01). Although PAI-1 protein was increased and active uPA was decreased, PAs activity was greatly enhanced by exposure of heat stress (p < 0.05). These results suggest that heat stress condition could change intrauterine microenvironment through regulation of PAs activity and other factors regarding with activation of PAs might be regulate by heat stress. Therefore, more studies regarding with regulatory mechanism of PAs activation are needed.

  • A thermolabile alkaline phosphatase has been purified through steps of osmotic shock, ammonium sulfate salting-out, and DAEA-cellulose chromatography from the cultured broth of the marine Vibrio sp. M-96 strain. The optimal temperature for the enzyme activity was 35$\circ$C. The optimal pH was pH11.0, and the range of pHstability was pH10.4 to 12.0. Thermal inactivation occured within 6 mintes at 60$\circ$C. The enzyme was considerably inactivated by 0.1mM concentrations of Hg$^{2+}$, Ni$^{2+}$ and Zn$^{2+}$, whereas activated up to 234% by 1mM of Mn$^{2+}$. The activation energy and deactivation energy by the Arrhenius equation were 4.02 Kcal/mol and 9.098 Kcal/mol, respectively. The Km and Vmax values of the enzyme for p-introphenylphosphate were found to be 0.0465mM and 0.001334mM/min, respectively. Active form of the enzyme had a molecular weight of 57,000 dalton determined by the Sephadex G-200 gel filtration method.

  • 본 연구는 섬진강 하구역에서 2017년 2월 대조기 만조와 간조, 3월 소조기 간조 동안 염분 구배에 따른 식물플랑크톤 생리활성도를 평가하였다. 또한 2월 대조기 조사에서 나타난 특이적인 pH 변화특성을 파악하기 위해 추가적인 재현실험을 병행하였다. 현장조사 결과에 의하면, 만조와 간조에 수층 혼합에 의한 수직적인 염분의 차이는 미미하였지만, 담수역으로 향할수록 염분이 낮아져 수평적인 염분구배가 뚜렷하였다. 염분과 영양염(질산염+아질산염: R=0.997, p<0.001; 규산염: R=0.979, p<0.001)과의 강한 음의 상관관계를 보였고, 이는 담수 기원의 질소와 규소의 높은 농도의 영양염류가 해수와 혼합되는 과정에서 희석되고 있다는 것을 의미한다. 반면, 인산염농도는 염분이 15 psu를 기점으로 고염분의 유역에서는 상대적으로 높은 농도가 관찰되었고, 이는 수심이 얕은 광양만의 퇴적물이 조석에 의한 수층혼합으로 재부유되어 인산염 재용출로 인해 수층에 일정량 기여하였다는 것을 의미한다. 섬진강 하구역에서 동계 2월과 3월 우점한 식물플랑크톤은 Eucampia zodiacus로 나타났고, 그들은 전체 군집의 70% 이상을 차지하였다. 특히, 3월 생물 활성도를 평가한 결과, 염분과 chlorophyll a(R=0.82)뿐만 아니라 active chlorophyll a(R=0.80)과 강한 양의 상관관계를 보였다(p<0.001). 특히 담수의 영향을 강하게 받는 상류 정점에서는 해수종 규조류가 염분충격으로 생리활성을 잃어 최대 75 % 사멸율을 기록하였다. 2월 대조기 조사에서는 상대적으로 형광값이 높은 정점에서 pH가 높게 나타났고, 이는 높은 밀도로 우점한 규조류의 광합성 작용으로 $CO_2$가 다량 흡수되어 pH 상승효과를 가져온 것으로 판단되었다. 또한 2월 현장식물플랑크톤 군집을 농축하여 저염분 환경에서 생물농도구배에 따른 pH 변화를 파악한 결과, 염분충격에 의해 사멸한 식물플랑크톤의 영향으로 광합성 활성도의 감소를 가져왔고, 우점 규조류의 사멸로 인해 박테리아가 현저하게 증식하였다. 그 결과 박테리아가 규조류를 생분해하는 과정에서 $CO_2$가 발생하여 pH 의 감소를 유발하였다. 결과적으로 섬진강하구역에서는 염분 구배에 따른 생물의 광합성 활성도의 차이와 생물사멸이 뚜렷하게 관찰되었고, 이는 pH의 증감을 유발하는 중요한 인자로 파악되었다.

  • To determine an increased acid tolerance of an adipic acid-resistant mutant Leuconostoc mesenteroides(ANaM100) developed for use as a Kimchi starter, proton permeability of cytoplasm, activities of H+-ATPase, Mg++ release and fatty acid composition of cytoplasmic membranes of strain ANaM100 were studied and compared with those of its wild type (LMw). The value of protons permeability of LMw after an acid shock at pH 5.0 was 5.4 min., while the value of ANaM100 cells was 8.4 min. at the same pH. The pH of maximal specific activ-ities of ATPase originated from the LMw and ANaM100 were 0.87 unit/mg protein at pH 6.0 and 0.92 unit/mg pro-tein at pH 5.5, respectively. The release of magnesium ion from ANaM100 was observed about 12.8% at pH 4 after 2 hours, while the wild strains of LMw released Mg++ about 27.6% under the same conditions. The content of C19:0,cyclo and C18:1 in a membrane fatty acid of ANaM100 was higher and lower, respectively than that of LMw. These results indicated that acid tolerance of adipic acid-resistant strain, ANaM100 was significantly improved in comparison with that of its wild type, LMw. In addition, the strain ANaM100 was adipic resistance based on the result of growth of the strain in comparison with that of strain LMw in a broth containing adipic acid.

  • Genetic responses of the edible seaweed Porphyra yezoensis tissue to acid shock have been compared using differential display technique. The tissue was challenged in seawater containing $0.05{\%}$ hydrogen chloride (pH 3.0) for 5 min, then rehabilitated in normal seawater for 10 min, 30 min, 60 min and 4 hrs. Total RNA extracted by the LiCl-guanidium method was reverse transcribed and amplified by PCR with arbitrary primers. The amplified fragment responded by the acid shock was selectively isolated from agarose gel and sequenced with DNA auto sequencer. Sequence (1056 bp) of the cDNA contained at least two genes for ASP7K (MW 7418) and ASP5K (MW 5512) proteins.

  • To be economically profitable, the poultry industry demands an increase in stocking density, which could adversely affect chicken welfare. The current study was performed to investigate the effect of stocking density on stress-related, heat shock protein genes (HSP70 and HSP90), 3-hydroxyl-3-methyl-glutaryl coenzyme A reductase (HMGCR) gene and telomere length in broiler chickens. Seven-day-old broiler chickens were housed at High (0.0578 $m^2$/bird), Standard (0.077 $m^2$/bird) and Low (0.116 $m^2$/bird) stocking densities with 8 replicates each until 35 d of age. The growth performance, such as body weight gain and average daily feed intake, was found to be significantly (p<0.05) higher in the Low density group, but these parameters did not show any difference between the High and Standard groups. Other growth performance, such as feed conversion ratio and final feed intake, showed no difference among the treated groups. The expression levels of HSP70 and HMGCR were found to be elevated with the increase of stocking density. The expression level of these genes was significantly (p<0.05) higher in the High density stocked group compared with the other groups, whereas the expression levels were not significantly different between the Low and Standard groups. The expression levels of HSP90 did not show any significant changes among the treated groups. The telomeric length of the birds housed in High density was reduced significantly (p<0.05) when compared to that of the birds in Low density. These results clearly indicate that birds stocked at high density show physiological adaptive changes indicative of stress at gene transcriptional and telomere levels.
