본 연구는 여드름을 유발하는 세균인 Propionibacterium acnes에 대해 다양한 토양에서 분리된 세균 균주들의 항균효과를 조사하기 위해 수행되었다. 수백 개의 분리 세균균주 중 Paenibacillus elgii DS381과 Paenibacillus elgii DS1515, Burkhoderia gladioli DS518, Streptomyces lienomycini DS620는 2가지 균주의 P. acnes에 대해 높은 항균활성을 나타내었다. 이 분리균주들은 agar well diffusion test에서 15.5~34.3 mm 직경의 저해대를 형성하였으며, 특히 DS620는 가장 큰 저해대 직경(28.3~34.3 mm)을 나타내었다. 분리 균주가 생성하는 항균 물질은 DS381과 DS1515 균주의 경우lipopeptide (pelgipeptin, paenipeptin), DS518은 protease, 그리고 DS620은 anthracycline 인 것으로 추정되며, 이들 모두 P. acnes에 대해매우낮은 최소저해농도를 나타내었다[DS381와 DS1515 (0.078 mg/ml), DS518 (0.312 mg/ml), DS620 (0.000078 mg/ml)]. P. acnes를 대상으로 한 time-kill assay에서는 네 균주의 항균물질이 모두 24시간 이내에 P. acnes를 완전히 사멸시켰다. 이 결과는 네 가지 항균활성 균주들이 분비하는 항균물질들이 여드름을 유발하는 P. acnes에 대하여 효율적인 치료 소재로 사용될 수 있는 가능성을 보여준다.

부식생성물, 이물질 등이 고착된 금속유물의 보존처리는 처리 전·후 형태와 특성, 유물의 중량 및 두께가 변한다. 지금까지 보존처리 전·후 변화에 대한 기록은 주로 육안관찰, 사진촬영 등을 통해 수행되었으나, 이 방법들은 보존처리 변화에 대한 정량적 결과를 파악하는 데 어려움이 있다. 본 연구에서는 환두부를 중심으로 이물질 제거, 균열부 메움, 복원 등의 과정을 3차원 스캐닝으로 기록하여 보존처리에 따른 형상 변화를 정량적으로 분석하였다. 3차원 스캐닝 결과를 기반으로 보존처리에 따른 부피 변화를 산출하고 형상 변화에 대한 수치자료를 분석하였다. 이 결과, 전체적으로 이물질 및 부식물은 보존처리 전 부피의 약 52%(18.1cm³)가 줄어들었고, 표면적으로 볼 때 약 98%가 제거된 것으로 확인되었다. 이 연구는 3차원 형상분석 기술이 유물의 보존처리 기록화 및 분석에 유용함을 보여주었다. 따라서 이 방법론은 금속유물뿐만 아니라 다양한 재질의 문화유산에 확대적용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

In order to measure the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) of a sample which is too large to use commercially available chamber, a stainless steel vacuum chamber (VC) (with an internal diameter of 205 mm and a height of 50 mm) was manufactured and the temperature of the chamber was controlled using an oven. After concentrating the volatiles of the sample in the chamber by helium gas, it was made possible to remove residual volatile substances present in the chamber under reduced pressure ((2 ± 1) × 10-2 mmHg). The chamber was connected to a purge & trap (P&T) using a 6 port valve to concentrate the VOCs, which were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) after thermal desorption (VC-P&T-GC-MS). Using toluene, the toluene recovery rate of this device was 85 ± 2 %, reproducibility was 5 ± 2 %, and the detection limit was 0.01 ng L-1. The method of removing VOCs remaining in the chamber with helium and the method of removing those with reduced pressure was compared using Korean drinking water regulation (KDWR) VOC Mix A (5 μL of 100 ㎍ mL-1) and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT, 2 μL of 500 ㎍ mL-1). In case of using helium, which requires a large amount of gas and time, reduced pressure ((2 ± 1) × 10-2 mmHg) only during the GC-MS running time, could remove VOCs and BHT to less than 0.1 % of the original injection concentration. As a result of analyzing volatile substances using VC-P&T-GC-MS of six types of cell phone case, BHT was detected in four types and quantitatively analyzed. Maintaining the chamber at reduced pressure during the GC-MS analysis time eliminated memory effect and did not affect the next sample analysis. The volatile substances in a cell phone case were also analyzed by dynamic headspace (HT3) and GC-MS, and the results of the analysis were compared with those of VC-P&T-GC-MS. Considering the chamber volume and sample weight, the VC-P&T configuration was able to collect volatile substances more efficiently than the HT3. The VC-P&T-GC-MS system is believed to be useful for VOCs measurement of inhomogeneous large sample or devices used inside clean rooms.

본 연구는 유용식물로부터 DPPH free radical scavenger및 사람의 low density lipoprotein(LDL)의 산화에 대한 항산화 효과를 조사하기 위하여 25종의 식물로부터 메탄올로 추출하여 조사하였다. 각종 유용식물 중 항산화 활성은 우수한 달맞이꽃이 가장 높았으며 다시 메타놀로 추출하여 조사한 결과 $\alpha$-tocopherol과 항산화능이 거의 비슷하였다. 메타놀 추출물을 ethylacetate로 추출한 획분이 항산화 활성이 높았으며 ethylacetate 층 중 acidic soluble 획분을 다시 분리한 후 Sepadex LH-20 column chromatography로 추출한 결과 Fraction F-2가 전자공유능이 가장 높았다. 따라서 항산화 활성이 높은Fraction, F-2의 구조를 동정한 결과 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid와 3-hyoxycinnamic acid로 확인되었다.

Marine organisms are sources of many bioactive compounds, such as essential fatty acids, essential amino acids, vitamins, and minerals, making them useful candidates for the production of safe bioactive substances. They also synthesize glutamic acid, which can be used to produce γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system (CNS), via fermentation with Lactobacillus brevis BJ-20. This study investigated the degree to which fermented sea tangle (FST) inhibits enzymes such as acetylcholine esterase (AChE) and prolyl endopeptidase (PEP) and affects memory of normal mice using the T-maze test. FST inhibited more than 90% of AChE at 1 mg/mL and 50% of PEP at 8 mg/mL. Oral FST (100 mg/kg) significantly improved performance of normal mice on the T-maze. Therefore, sea tangle fermented with L. brevis BJ20 effectively contributes to memory improvement and might be a useful functional food ingredient.

Xenorhabdus nematophilus sp., an insect-pathogenic bacterium, was newly isolated from Korean entomopathogenic nematode of Steinernema carpocapsae, which can be used as a useful bioinsecticide. Primary and secondary form variants of Xenorhabdus nematophilus were observed when cultured in vitro. Primary form variants adsorbed bromothymol blue, while secondary form did not. However, many other characters of two variants were very similar. The variants were all rod-shaped and cell size was highly variable ranging from 0.5 by 2.0 ${\mu}$m to 1.0 by 5.0 ${\mu}$m. Both produced highly toxic substances and killed the insect larva within 20∼38 hr, indicating that insect pathogenicity of Xenorhabdus is not directly associated with its phase variation. In addition, cell-free culture supernatant of Xenorhabdus was sufficient to kill the insect larva by injecting it ito insect hemolymph; however, cell-harboring culture broth was more effective for killing the insect. The use of Xenorhabdus nematophilus may provide a potential alternative to Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) toxins.

Three cobalt-iron Prussian Blue Analogues (PBAs) nanotubes contained with different alkali metal cations of K, Rb or Cs, respectively, were prepared by using cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB)/ethanol-water micelles as soft templates. The products were characterized by energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron micrograph (SEM), which confirmed the composition of the substances and their unique nanotube structures. Furthermore, the formation mechanism of the PBAs nanotubes was discussed and provided useful insight for further synthesis of nanotubes of other Prussian blue analogues.

Ultrasonic spectroscopy is likely to become a very powerful NDE method for detection of microfects and thickness measurement of thin film below the limit of ultrasonic distance resolution in the opaque materials, provides a useful information that cannot be obtained by a conventional ultrasonic measuring system. In this paper, we considered a thin film below the limit of ultrasonic distance resolution sandwitched between two substances as acoustical analysis model, demonstrated the usefulness of ultrasonic spectroscopic analysis technique using information of ultrasonic frequency for measurements of thin film thickness, regardless of interference phenomenon and phase reversion of ultrasonic waveform. By using frequency intervals(${\triangle}f$) of periodic minima from the ratio of reference power spectrum of reflective waveform obtained a sample to power spectrum of multiple reflective waves obtained interference phenomenon caused by ultrasonic waves reflected at the upper and lower surfaces of a thin layer, can measured even dimensions of interest are smaller than the ultrasonic wave length with simplicity and accuracy.

Bacteriocins from lactic acid bacteria have attracted much attention in recent years because of their useful worth in increasing safety and extending shelf life of foods. These substances show an inhibitory effect against some food spoilage bacteria and food-borne pathogens. The inhibitory effect fo the bacteriocin produces by lactic acid bacteria against Listeria monocytogenes(L. monocytogenes) was examined in this study. The culture supernatants of 5 kinds of bacteria among the 10 kinds of testes lactic acid bacteria had the inhibitory activity against Listeria sp., various Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria. Bacteriocin produced by Lactobacillus plantarum(Lact. plantarum) LMG 7945 was the most active toward L. monocytogenes. Bacteriocin production of the Lact. plantarum LMG 7945 cultured on MRS broth was increased late logarithmic phase over early stationary phase. This bacteriocin was stable at heat treatment and acidic pH relatively; The activity was retained after heating at 121$^{\circ}C$ for 15min and was active in the pH range of 2~4 but was lost above pH 5.
