본 연구에서는 다양한 유래에서 분리한 병원성 세균 S. aureus에 대한 5종의 유기산(acetic, propionic, citric, malic, lactic acid)과 3종의 정유성분(carvacrol, thymol, eugenol) 및 그 밖의 자연유래 항균물질(nisin, cinnamic acid)의 항균효과, 최소저해농도 및 각각의 최소사멸농도를 연구하였으며, 이를 바탕으로 항균물질간의 혼합처리 시 항균효과를 평가함으로써 이와 같은 자연유래 항균물질들의 화학합성 보존제 대체 가능성을 연구하고자 하였다. Agar disc diffusion실험을 통해 propionic acid (1.38 cm) > nisin (1.00 cm) > thymol (0.98 cm) > carvacrol (0.90 cm) 순으로 S. aureus에 대해서 높은 항균력을 나타내었다. 최소저해 농도는 carvacrol (0.06%), thymol (0.06%), nisin (0.06%)이 항균효과가 가장 좋은 것으로 나타났다. 그 이외의 항균물질의 경우 eugenol (0.13%), propionic acid (0.23%), acetic acid (0.38%), citric acid (0.60%), malic acid (1.66%) 순으로 효과가 나타났다. 이를 바탕으로 항균물질간의 혼합 처리시 propionic acid와 citric acid의 결합처리 효과가 가장 높게 나타났다. 자연유래 항균물질은 합성 보존료에 비해 항균활성이 미약해 보존료의 이용이 어렵지만 본 연구결과 자연유래 항균물질들의 혼합처리를 통해 시너지 효과를 알 수 있었다. 따라서 자연유래 항균물질의 혼합처리를 통한 연구가 계속적으로 이루어진다면 인공 합성보존료를 대신하는 천연 보존료의 상업적 이용이 가능할 것으로 사료된다.

인화점은 액체 용액의 가장 중요한 인화성 지표 중 하나이다. 인화점은, 가연성 증기의 공기 속 농도가 점화가 발생하기에 충분할 때의 온도 중 가장 낮은 온도이다. 본 연구에서는 가연성 이성분계 액체 용액인, 2-propanol+propionic acid 와 n-hexanol+formic acid 계의 인화점을 Seta flash 밀폐식 장치를 사용하여 측정하였다. 특히 n-hexanol+formic acid 계는 최소 인화점 현상을 보였다. 측정값은 라울의 법칙을 활용한 방법과 최적화 기법에 의한 계산값과 비교되었다. 그 결과 최적화 기법에 의한 계산값이 라울의 법칙에 의한 계산값 보다 측정값을 잘 모사하였다.

Azotobacter vinelandii uwn는 배지에 짝수의 탄소원외에 홀수의 탄소원을 첨가했을 때 생분해성 고분자인 PHBV를 합성한다. 본 실험에서는 propionic acid와 valerie acid를 첨가 한 후 세포생장과 비생장속도를 관찰하였다. Propionic acid 농도가 1.0 -1.5 g/L, valerie acid 농도가 1.0 g/L일 때 세포 생장이 다른 농도에서보다 높았으며, 이때의 비생장속도는 각각 $0.183 hr^{-1}, 0.137 hr^{-1}$이었다. 그리고 이들 유기산을 각각 0 0.75 g/L, 0.5 g/L 혼합하여 배지중에 넣었을 때 비생장속도 는 유기산을 단독으로 첨가한 경우보다 높게 나타났다. 포도당 농도가 10~50 g/L 에서 실험한 결과 20 g/L 일 때 생장 속도가 가장 높았다.

The present study investigated the effect of ammonia load on microbial communities in mesophilic anaerobic digestion of propionic acid. A laboratory-scale continuous anaerobic digester treating propionic acid as a sole organic substrate was operated under non-inhibitory condition and inhibitory conditions with ammonia (1.5 g and 3.5 g ammonia-N/L, respectively), and bacterial and archaeal communities in the steady states of each ammonia condition were analyzed using high-throughput sequencing. Thirteen bacterial families were detected as abundant bacterial groups in mesophilic anaerobic digestion of propionic acid. Increase in ammonia concentration resulted in significant shifts in microbial community structures. Syntorophobacter, Pelotomaculum, and Thermovigra were determined as the dominant groups of (potential) propionate oxidizing bacteria in the non-inhibitory condition, whereas Cryptanaerobacter and Aminobacterium were the dominant groups of (potential) propionate oxidizing bacteria in the ammonia-inhibitory condition. Methanoculleus and Methanosaeta were the dominant methanogens. Acetate-oxidation coupled with hydrogenotrophic methanogenesis might be enhanced with increases in the relative abundances of Methanoculleus and Tepidanaerobacter acetatoxydans under the ammonia-inhibitory condition. The results of the present study could be a valuable reference for microbial management of anaerobic digestion systems that are exposed to ammonia inhibition and propionic acid accumulation.

인화점은 가연성 물질의 화재 및 폭발의 잠재위험성을 결정하는데 가장 중요한 연소 특성치 가운데 하나이다. 인화점의 정확한 지식은 산업 화재의 방호 평가 및 적절한 예방에 중요하다. 본 연구에서 n-butanol+n-propionic acid계와, n-propanol+n-propionic계의 개방계 인화점을 Tag식 개방계 장치(ASTM D 1310-86)를 이용하여 측정하였다. 실험값은 라울의 법칙과 van Laar식에 의해 계산된 값과 비교하였다. 그 결과, van Laar식에 의한 예측값이 라울의 법칙에 의한 예측값 보다 실험값에 더욱 근사함을 확인하였다.

This study was carried out to investigate the distribution of V. parahaemolyticus in Incheon adjacent sea, and anti-microbial effect on growth of V. parahaemolyticus in organic acid. The detected strains were compared for geography, months and sample types. V. parahaemolyticus was detected form 28.5 percent of 287 samples collected from Incheon area, and 34.7 percent of 91 samples collected in the months of July through September, and 24.7 percent of 279 shellfish samples respectively. The minimun inhibitory concentration(MIC) of organic acid in V. parahaemolyticus were 1,250ppm at propionic acid, citric acid and acetic acid, 2,500ppm at vanillic acid, respectively. MICs of combined treatment of acetic acid and vanillic acid, citric acid and vanillic acid, propionic acid and vanillic acid were 1,250 ppm.

The objective of this work was to evaluate the germination of 12 rice genotypes under propionic acid stress, a phytotoxic compound produced in low drainage soils with high organic matter content. The tests were conducted with the first count of germination (PCG) and germination (G) of the genotypes subjective to 0, 3, 6, and 9 mM propionic acid concentrations. The seeds of each genotype were placed in germitest paper pre-soaked in treatment solutions forming individual bags. The germination was performed at $25^{\circ}C$ and the counts were carried out at 7 (PCG) and 14 days (G). A factorial random block design was performed with four replications of 50 seeds per genotype. Our study revealed that doses up to 9 mM propionic acid in the pre-soaking solution were efficient for genetic variability studies involving the character germination in rice; genetic variability for germination was detected in the collection of rice genotypes when subjected to propionic acid toxic effects. The genotypes Guichow, Dawn, and Toride-1 showed germination stability when subjected to increasing levels of propionic acid, and genotypes originated from irrigated system-cultivation performed better when subjected to propionic acid stress. These three genotypes will be a good biological material to for enhance the resistance to phytotoxic compounds in rice.

This study aimed to investigate the effect of amino acid additives to weaned piglet diets on the pH and volatile fatty acids of pig slurries. A total of 135 weaned 22 -day-old piglets (Yorkshire x Landrace x Duroc) were used in this 56-d study. The three dietary treatments were as follows: (1) Control as a basal diet, (2) 1% amino acid additive and (3) 2% amino acid additive. Both pH and acetic acid values at 71 and 78 days were significantly different in all treatment groups (p<0.05). In addition, significant differences in propionic acid values were observed among treatment groups at 64 and 78 days (p<0.05). However, pH, acetic acid, and propionic acid values did not differ between 1% and 2% amino acid treatment groups. In conclusion, adding 1% and 2% amino acid to weaned piglet diets reduced the pH, acetic acid and propionic acid contents of pig slurries by acting as a probiotic. This may help formulate increase management strategies for improving the pig housing environment.
