The interaction of dichlorophenol isomers with the micellar system of TTAB (tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide) was studied by the UV/Vis spectrophotometric method. The solubilization constants ($K_s$) of dichlorophenol isomers into the micellar system have been measured with the change of temperature and the various thermodynamic parameters have been calculated and analyzed from these changes. The results show that the values of ${\Delta}G^{\circ}_s$ and ${\Delta}H^{\circ}_s$ are all negative within the measured temperature range. The effects of additives (n-butanol and NaCl) on the solubilization of dichlorophenol isomers have been also measured. There was a great change on the values of $K_s$ and CMC simultaneously with these additives. From these changes we can postulate the solubilization sites of each isomers in the micellar system of TTAB.

The interaction of p-halogenated phenol derivatives with the micellar system of tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide (TTAB) was studied by the UV/Vis spectrophotometric method. Effects of substituents, additives, and temperatures on the solubilization of phenol derivatives have been measured. The results show that all the values of ${\Delta}G^o$ and ${\Delta}H^o$ were negative and the values of ${\Delta}S^o$ were positive for all phenol derivatives within the measured temperature range. The calculated thermodynamic parameters depended on the size, the electro-negativity, and the hydrophobic property of halogen substituents. The addition of n-butanol results in the decrement in tthe Ks values and the addition of NaCl caused the increment in the Ks values for all the phenol derivatives. From these changes we can postulate that the solubilization sites of the phenol derivatives in the micelle depend severely on properties of the halogen-substituent.

The interactions of 4-chlorobenzoic acid with the micellar system of various cationic, nonionic, and mixed surfactant systems were studied by the UV/Vis spectrophotometric method. The solubilization constants ($K_s$) of 4-chlorobenzoic acid into those micellar systems have been measured at various temperatures and various thermodynamic parameters for the solubilization of 4-chlorobenzoic acid have been calculated and analyzed from those changes. The results show that the values of ${\Delta}G^o_s$ are all negative within the measured temperature range and that the values of ${\Delta}H^o_s$ and ${\Delta}S^o_s$ are all positive. The effects of alkyl-group's length of surfactant molecules on the solubilization of 4-chlorobenzoic acid have been also measured. The values of $K_s$ were dependent simultaneously on the alkyl-group's length and the kind of head-group in surfactant molecules. From these changes we can postulate the solubilization site and the degree of interaction of 4-chlorobenzoic acid with the micellar systems.

In this study, we investigated the solubilization 4-chlorobenzoic acid in a wide range of temperature using a zwitterionic surfactant of lauryl sulfobetaine(LSB) and mixed surfactant systems. The effects of temperature and alkyl-group's length of surfactant molecule on the solubilization of 4-chlorobenzoic acid have been measured. The solubilization constants ($K_s$) were taken by the UV/Vis spectrophotometric method, plotting the total absorbance of the solution versus the surfactant concentration. The results show that the values of ${\Delta}G^o_s$ are all negative within the measured temperature range and decrease by increasing temperature, And also the measured values of ${\Delta}H^o_s$ and ${\Delta}S^o_s$ are all positive and increase by increasing temperature. The values of $K_s$ and thermodynamic parameters are simultaneously dependent on the temperature and the kinds of surfactant molecules. From the results we can postulate the solubilization site of 4-chlorobenzoic acid within the micelle.

Bovine serum albumin(BSA) was solubilized into the reverse micellar phase consisting of sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate(AOT) and isooctane using the phase transfer method. Of particular interest in this study were the effects of pH and the added salt type and concentration on the solubilization efficiency. When univalent or divalent salts such as KCl, NaCl, $MgCl_2$, or $CaCl_2$ were added to the aqueous phase at a concentration of 0.1 M, maximum solubilization efficiency was attained at a pH ranging from 5 to 7, depending on the added salt type. Increased salt concentration up to 1 M resulted in an increased solubilization efficiency for $CaCl_2$ and NaCl, while the addition of $MgCl_2$ beyond 0.1 M showed an anomalous trend. Further, it was noteworthy that too a large extent the protein precipitated in the interface between the organic and aqueous phases at lower pHs and lower salt concentrations. The size of the reverse micelle water pool was estimated by measuring the molar ratio of the surfactant to the water, $W_0$. Irrespective of pH in the aqueous phase, the resulting value of $W_0$ was almost constant, eg., 20 for $MgCl_2$ . However, the value of $W_0$ decreased with increased salt concentration in the cases of KCl and $CaCl_2$.

Soil samples collected from abounded mines of Boryeong area in South Korea were used in isolating bacterial strains and their capacity to solubilize inorganic phosphates and heavy metal tolerance were assessed in vitro. Three different inorganic phosphate sources (Ca phosphate, Fe phosphate, and Al phosphate) and four different heavy metals (Co, Cd, Pb and Zn) each with three concentrations ($100{\mu}g\;mL^{-1}$, $200{\mu}g\;mL^{-1}$, and $400{\mu}g\;mL^{-1}$) were used. The bacterial isolates PSB-1, PSB-2, PSB-3, and PSB-4 solubilized significantly higher amount of Ca phosphate during the first five days of incubation though subsequent drop in soluble phosphorus level in the medium was observed at the later stage (after 5 days) of the incubation. Solubilization of Ca phosphate and Fe phosphate was concomitant with the acidification of the culture medium compared to the control where it remained constant. Isolated strains could solubilize Fe phosphate to certain extent ($25-45{\mu}g\;mL^{-1}$) though solubilization of Al phosphate was found negligible. All the isolates were tolerant to heavy metals (Cd, Pb, and Zn) up to the concentration of $400{\mu}g\;mL^{-1}$ except PSB-1 and PSB-8, which were shown to be vulnerable to Co even at $100{\mu}g\;mL^{-1}$. Heavy metal tolerant strains should be further evaluated for plant growth promoting activities also under field conditions in order to assess their agricultural and environmental significance.

The micellization of TTAB(tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide) and the solubilization of 4-halogenated phenol isomers in aqueous solution of that surfactant in water have been studied by the UV-Vis spectrophotometric method. Those properties in aqueous solutions of NaCl and n-butanol have been also measured to determine the interactions between the micelle and 4-halogenated phenols and the solubilized sites of those molecules in the micelle. The results show that the values of ${\Delta}G^o_m$ and ${\Delta}G^o_s$ are all negative and the trends of those values depend on both the kinds and the concentrations of additives. Namely, by adding NaCl both ${\Delta}G^o_m$ and ${\Delta}G^o_s$ values are all decreasing, but by adding n-butanol the ${\Delta}G^o_m$ value decreases and the ${\Delta}G^o_s$ value increases.

A phosphate solubilizing bacterium (PSB) possessing a high ability to solubilize hydroxyapatite (HA) was isolated from the rhizosphere of wheat. The PSB markedly developed clear zones after inoculating for 36 hours at $30^{\circ}C$. This bacterium was identified as Enterobacter agglomerans through API 20E system and Biolog$^{TM}$ analysis. The values of similarity and distance coefficient from authentication trial of the strain were 0.656 and 4.79 respectively. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) of the products of this strain indicated that this strain excretes maily oxalic acid with som other organic acids. During the incubation period of E. agglomerans, the pH values showed an inverse correlation ($r^2=0.933^{**}$) with solubilization of inorganic phosphate. Acid phosphatase activity of the strain was 10-15 times greater than alkaline phosphatase activity. Alkaline phosphatase activity had almost constant near zero activity across time. The population of E. agglomerans greatly increased during the first day of inoculation ; however, it drastically decreased thereafter.

To formulate the parenteral delivery of a new cephalosporin derivative, 7-${\beta}$-[(2)-2-(2-arninothiazol-4-yl)-2methoxyiminoacetamido]- 3- [(2,3-cyclopenteno-4-carbamoyl-l-pyridinium)methyl]- 3-cephem-4-carboxylate sulfate( CKD604), the stability and solubility of CKD-604 in various aqueous media were investigated. The degradation kinetics of CKD-604 in aqueous solutions (ionic strength 0.1, pH 1-8) were studied at $37^{\circ}C$. The observed degradation rates followed pseudo first order kinetics. The pH-rate profile exhibited a minimum degradation rate at pH 5. The Arrhenius activation energy was 14.2 kcal/mol in pH 5 buffer solution. Excellent agreement between the cephalosporins' theoretical pH-rate profile and the experimental data indicated that the degradation pathway of CKD-604 could be predicted according to the general pathway of cephalosporins. The solubility of CKD-604 was 8.16 mg/ml at $25^{\circ}C$. To enhance the solubility and adjust the suitable pH, CKD-604 was solubilized by using sodium ascorbate, ascorbic acid and urea. The compositions were obtained to satisfy optimum pH and concentration, and the total amount of additives was several times of the active ingredient, CKD-604.

Micellar aggregates are known to be useful for the selective isolation of biologically active materials such as amino acids, proteins, and enzymes from crude mixtures sparsely dispersed in water. In this study, the effects of pH, salt type and its concentration on the solubilization of $\alpha$-chymotrypsin into the organic micellar phase, which consisted of AOT (sodium 야(2-ethylhexy)sulfosuccinate) and iso-octane, were comprehensively examined. It was found that maximum extraction efficiency was attained at a pH below the isoelectric point of $\alpha$-chymotrypsin; at pH=5.0 for NaCl and KCl, and at pH=7.0 for $CaCl_2$and $MgCl_2$. In order to avoid complications stemming from the precipitationof protein at low pH interfaces, the protein concentrations in the organic and aqueous phases were directly measured. The size of the micelle water pool was estimated by measuring the molar ratio of the surfactant to the water, W(sub)o. The resulting values of W(sub)o were nearly constant at 30 and 19 for NaCl and KCl, respectively, and were independent of pH. The addition of 1:2 salts like $MgCl_2$and $CaCl_2$ led to much lower, but a constant value of, W(sub)o than the 1:1 salts.
