In this study, we report on successful attempt towards the synthesis of sulfur self-doped $g-C_3N_4$ by directly heating thiourea in air. The synthesized materials were characterized using UV-vis spectral technique, FT-IR, XRD and TEM analysis. Further, the obtained material shows an excellent detection of carcinogenic TNP(Tri nitro phenol) in the presence of 10-fold excess of various other common interferences. The strong inner filter effect and molecular interactions(electrostatic, ${\pi}-{\pi}$, and hydrogen bonding interactions) between TNP and the $S-g-C_3N_4$ Nano sheets led to the fluorescence quenching of the $S-g-C_3N_4$ Nano sheets with an excellent selectivity and sensitivity towards TNP compared to that of other nitro aromatics under optimal conditions and the detection limit calculated was found to be 6.324 nM for TNP. The synthesized nanocomposite provides a promising platform for the development of sensors with improved reproducibility and stability for ultra-sensitive and selective sensing of TNP.

In order to establish a sensitive and specific diagnostic method for detection of antibody to Salmonella pullorum, a enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) was designed and standardized. The diagnostic efficacy of the established ELISA was compared with that of the serum plate agglutination test and immunodiffusion test for pullorum disease. 1. The chicken hyperimmune sera to Salmonella pullorum, S gallinarum, S typhimurium and S typhi were shown the cross reaction to S pullorum antigen by serum plate agglutination test. 2. When compared the cross reaction titer of microplate agglutination test for chickens hyperimmune sera, it was found that the titer were 64 in S pullorum, 32 in S gallinarum, 4 in S typhimurium and 8 in S typhi, respectively. 3. When compared the specificity of various antigen(HA, EA, PA and SA) by the immunodiffusion test, the most suitable antigen was phenol-treated bactrium. 4. The optimal concentration of S pullorum antigen for ELISA was 1 : 160 dilution of bacterium. 5. The efficacy of the ELISA for detection of S pullorum antibody was compared with serum Plate agglutination test and immunodiffusion test in chickens infected with S pullorum. The antibody was first detected at 6 days after infection using three tests examined. The antibody was alldetected at 9 days by ELISA, at 12 days by serumplate agglutination test, at 15 days by immunodiffusion test.

To determine the optimal media conditions for the detection of the extracellular cellulase activity in Ganoderma neo-japonicum, we varied three media conditions: dye reagent, pH, and temperature. We evaluated the use of four dyes, Congo red, phenol red, remazol brilliant blue, and trypan blue. To observe the effect of pH on the chromogenic reaction, we tested media ranging from 4.5 to 8.0. To research the effect of temperature on the clear zone and the fungus growing zone, we tested temperatures ranging from 15 to $35^{\circ}C$. On the whole, the best protocol called for Ganoderma neo-japonicum transfer onto media containing Congo red with a pH of 7.0, followed by incubation at $25^{\circ}C$ for 5 days. Our results will be useful to researchers who study extracellular enzyme activity in Ganoderma neo-japonicum.

To determine the optimal medium conditions for the detection of the cellulolytic activity in Ganoderma lucidum, we varied three media conditions: dye reagent, pH, and temperature. First, we evaluated the use of four dyes, Congo Red, Phenol Red, Remazol Brilliant Blue, and Trypan Blue. To observe the effect of pH on the chromogenic reaction, we also made and tested various media spanning acidic and alkaline pHs, ranging from 4.5 to 8.0. Furthermore, in order to research the effect of temperature on the clear zone and the fungus growing zone, we tested temperatures ranging from 15 to $35{^{\circ}C}$. On the whole, the best protocol called for Ganoderma lucidum transfer onto media containing Congo red with pH adjusted to 7.0, followed by incubation at $25{^{\circ}C}$ for 5 days. Our results will be useful to researchers who aim to study extracellular enzyme activity in Ganoderma lucidum.

Competitive polymerase chain reaction (cPCR) was used to develop a direct enumeration method of Listeria monocytogenes in pork meat. Pork meat was artificially inoculated with L. monocytogenes and DNA was extracted using guanidine thiocyanate-phenol-chloroform and subjected to PCR amplification. Sixteen primer sets for L. monocytogenes hlyA gene were tested for sensitive detection and the DG69/DG74 primer set was selected. The detection limit achieved with this primer set was as low as 860 colony-forming units (cfu) per 0.1 g of pork meat. When the samples were cultured at $30^{\circ}C$ for 16 hr in Brain Heart Infusion (BHI) medium, even a single bacterium could be detected with this primer set by PCR. For cPCR, the hlyA gene, which features a 148 bp-deletion, was cloned in the pGEM-4Z vector. A known amount of competitor DNA which has the same primer binding sites was co-amplified with L. monocytogenes total DNA from the artificially inoculated pork meat. The cell-number determined by cPCR was approximately equal to cfu from the Most Probable Number (MPN) method. The whole procedure took only 5 hr.

The recombinant bacteria strain DPD2540, containing a fabA::luxCDABE fusion, was used to detect the toxicity of various chemicals in this study. Membrane damaging agents such as phenol, ethanol, and cerulenin induced a rapid bioluminescent response from this strain. Other toxic agents, such as DNA-damaging or oxidative-damaging chemicals, showed a delayed bioluminescent response in which the maximum peak appeared over 150 min after induction. This strain was also tested for measurement of toxicity in field samples such as wastewater and river water effluents.

Aspergillus을 이용하여 생리적 제 성질을 조사하였던 바 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1)각 균주들은 각각 그들의 특성을 가지고 있었으며 이로서 균동정의 가능성을 나타내었다. 2)Amylase측정결과에서 보면 비교적 역가가 높은 균주들이 관찰되었으며, 이는 일주간의 배양시간의 경과에 따라 역가가 증가하였으나 protease의 역가는 우수한 균주를 발견키가 어려웠다. Iodine의 착색대와 비착색대의 비율에 의한 역가의 정성적인 측정이 가능하였다.

A method for determination of ammonia-N in environmental water by air-segmented flow injection analysis using the colour reaction of phenol and sodium hypochlorite with ammonia was described in this paper. When the reaction temperature is $70^{\circ}C$ and the reaction residence time is 5 minutes, a sample frequency of $60-90h^{-1}$ can be achieved. The detection limit and relative deviation are $0.05mg.ml^{-1}$ and 4%, respectively. The recovery of this method is 96 - 110%, and the determination results of the method are greatly agreement with standard colorimetric method.

The objective of this study was to develop a differential medium with improved selectivity for the isolation of Bacillus cereus. Mannitol egg yolk polymyxin medium supplemented with D-galactose allowed the differentiation of diarrheal- and emetic-type B. cereus through pH monitoring. The pH of the medium decreased significantly when incubating the emetic-type B. cereus, whereas the pH change was not significant when incubating the diarrheal-type. The addition of pH indicators, such as methyl red and phenol red, to the medium allowed visual differentiation between diarrheal- and emetic-type B. cereus. A solid agar medium was also developed by optimizing the concentrations of medium components such as monosaccharides, agar, egg yolk enrichment, pH indicators, and antibiotics. This study indicates the possibility of applying selective media for the differentiation of diarrheal- and emetic-type B. cereus.
