During the screening of antiviral substances having inhibitory effects on tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) infection to tobacco plants, we found a bacterial isolate KTGBP10, which was identified as a Stenotrophomonas sp., strongly inhibited the infection of TMV. When the culture filtrate from KTGBP10 was applied on the upper surface of leaves of Xanthi-nc tobacco plants at the same time or 24 hours before TMV inoculation, almost complete inhibition of TMV infection was achieved. And $40\%$ inhibition was shown with application of the culture filtrate to the under surface of leaves. In field trials, transmission of TMV from diseased seedlings to the healthy ones during transplanting work was reduced by $87.1\~92.6\%$ when the culture filtrate or cell suspension was sprayed onto the tobacco seedlings, cv. NC82, 24 hours before transplanting. No toxic effect was observed on the tobacco plants. When the broth filtrate of KTGBP10 was supplied by soaking through the cut-leaves before and/or after virus inoculation, the TMV infection was also inhibited by $50.4\~65.3\%$.

The effects of some nutrients and culture conditions on the growth and the production of fumonisin B$_{1}$, (FB$_{1}$) from Fusarium moniliforme NRRL 13569 were investigated in liquid culture. Xylose and soytone yielded the highest mycelial growth as the C- and N-source, respectively. The highest level of FB$_{1}$, was obtained when yeast extract was used as the N-source but no FB$_{1}$, from NaNO$_{3}$. While Fe$^{+++}$ showed inhibition effect on FB$_{1}$, production, Zn$^{++}$ enhanced the FB$_{1}$, production as well as the mycelial growth. FB$_{1}$, was maximally produced when the initial pH value and the specific surface area of the medium was adjusted to 5 and 1.4 cm$^{2}$/ml, respectively. FB$_{1}$ formation reached the maximum value (210, 000 ng/ml) in 30 days and then decreased in Czapek medium substitued with 1% xylose and 0.3% yeast extract, and supplemented with 0.2% NH$_{4}$H$_{2}$PO$_{4}$ where the initial pH value and the specific surface area of the medium are optimally controlled.

Aspergi11us niger F-580, a potent producer of aminopeptidase M inhibitor, was isolated from the brown spots of plant leaves with a pathological trait. The inhibitory activity was found only in the fungal mat formed by surface culture of Aspergi11us niger F-580, but not in the culture supernatant or cell pellet. The inhibitor was purified from the hot water extract of this fungal mat by using chromatographies on Diaion HP-20, DEAE-cellulose, Sephadex G-l0 and YMC-ODS-AQ columns. The purified inhibitor was analyzed by UV, mass, and NMR spectroscopies, and identified as OF494911, which had been isolated as an aminopeptidase B inhibitor from Penicillium rugulosum OF4949

Osteoblast is one of cells related with osseointegration and many research have conducted the adhesion of osteoblast onto the surface of implant. In the osseointegration, biocompatibility of the implant and cell adhesion to the surface are important factors. The researches related to cell adhesion have a direction from micro-scaled surface roughness to nano-scaled surface roughness with advancing nanotechnology. A cell reacts and sense to stimuli from extracellular matrix (ECM) and topography of the ECM [1]. Thus, for better osseointegration, we should provide an environment similar to ECM. In this study, we synthesize TiO2 nanowires using hydrothermal reaction because TiO2 provides inertness to titanium on its surface and enables it used as an implant material for the orthopedic treatment such as fixation of the bone fracture [2]. Ti substrate is immersed into NaOH aqueous solution. The solution are heated at $140{\sim}200^{\circ}C$ for various time (10~720 minutes). After heat treatment, we take out the sample and immerse it into HCl aqueous solution for 1 hour. The acid treated sample is heated again at $500^{\circ}C$ for 3 hours [3]. Then, we culture osteoblast on the TiO2 nanowires. For investigating cell adhesion onto nanostructured surface, we conduct several tests such as MTT assay, ALP (Alkaline phosphatase) activity assay, measuring calcium expression, and so on. These preliminary results of the cell culture on the nanowires are foundation for investigating cell-material interaction especially with nanostructure interaction.

Chemical composition and microscopic observation of white powder developed in the surface of dried persimmon which produced in several region in Korea were studied. Sugar content in flesh of dried persimmon was $56{\sim}59%$ and composed of glucose and fructose. White powder developed in the surface of dried persimmon was composed of sugar 84.6%, moisture 12.5% and insoluble matter 2.7%, respectively. The major sugar of white powder was glucose with 83.3% and fructose was 16.7%. With scanning electron microscopic obsevation, white powder was seen the shape like a plate, flower, needle and horn, and it was similiar to the shape of recrystalized glucose after hydration. White powder in surface of dried persimmon was seemed that glucose and fructose in flesh were migrated with moisture to drying surface during drying process and glucose was crystalized in the surface of dried persimmon.

This study was to investigate the physical properties and the external characteristics of denim fabrics(100% cotton non-spun denim, 98% cotton/2% polyurethane spun denim) such as tensile strength, thickness and weight, flex stiffness, surface color and shrinkage. The results of the study were as follows. After examining the change of external characteristics of before and after washing finishing for denim fabrics, denim with bio washing had increased pliability compared to denim without washing finishing but the pliability of the denim did not increase according to the intensity or frequency of washing. The luminance change according to washing finishing was high in the order of bio stone bleach washing, bio stone washing, bio washing and denim without washing finishing and the surface color became brighter in accordance with the increase of intensity and frequency of washing finishing.

This study was conducted to confirm the effect of drying method on quality of popped rice for making salyeotgangjung(popped rice lump with malt syrup) in process of drying gelatinized rice. The drying were performed at dry oven or convection oven, at $30^{\circ}C,\;50^{\circ}C\;and\;105^{\circ}C$, respectively. There were not significant differences in the hardness of popped rice among the drying methods. The dry at $30^{\circ}C$ constant in dry oven showed higher popping rate, good external surface, uniformed and well developed internal cell size. The dry at $30^{\circ}C$ in convection oven and $50^{\circ}C$ constant temperature in dry oven showed low expansion and poor external surface, respectively. In conclusion, the drying at $30^{\circ}C$ in non-convection oven had the highest quality of popped rice for salyeotgangjung.

Saprolegnia diclina, which was the pathogen causing death in snake fishes(Channa argus) at culture farm, was investigated using scanning electron microscope. It was found that Saprolegnia diclina infection caused snake fishes to fail gas change in the gills. Cell lysis as well as edematous disease and hyperplasia as a result of Saprolegnea diclina attachment on the surface of gills were observed. The granules, the mean diameters of which ranged from 6 to $7\;{\mu}m$, attaching on the surface of gills were found to be secondary zoospores of Saprolegnia diclina. The failures of gas exchange in the gill cells and circulation as a result of the osmotic dilution of the blood were supposed to be the main cause of death.

The purpose of this study is to analyze hydraulic characteristics of surface irrigation in a paddy field of direct seeding culture. Field experiment was performed in the paddy field of ridge direct dry seeding. Simulation by a numerical model was also accomplished with the data obtained from the field experiment. The model was developed by one dimensional zero-inertia equation and finite difference method. From the result of the field observation, the furrows of the experimental field were found to have various geometric characteristics. Advance distance and time were measured both in the field and by the model simulation for various furrow lengths and irrigation discharges. Roughness coefficients of each furrow were also estimated by the model.

Neuron-on-a-Chip technology is based on advanced neuronal culture technique, surface micropatterning, microelectrode array technology, and multi-dimensional data analysis techniques. The combination of these techniques allowed us to design and analyze live biological neural networks in vitro using real neurons. In this review article, two underlying technologies are reviewed: Microelectrode array technology and Neuronal patterning technology. There are new opportunities in the fusion of these technologies to apply them in neurobiology, neuroscience, neural prostheses, and cell-based biosensor areas.
