Lactic acid fermentation of Flammulina velutipes (FV) powder was optimized to produce higher content of ${\gamma}-aminobutyric$ acid (GABA). FV powder (10%) was fermented with 0.5% yeast extract, 1% glucose, 5% mono sodium-L-glutamate (MSG) by Lactobacillus plantarum EJ2014 for 5 days at $30^{\circ}C$. The pH decreased from 6.1 to 4.4 for first 2 days after then increased to 6.2 for following 5 days. While the acidity increased from 0.5% to 1.3% for 2 days, after then decreased to 0.4% for 5 days. Viable cell count showed higher value of $2.2{\times}10^9CFU/mL$ after fermentation for 5 days. In particular, 3.54% MSG as a substrate was completely utilized during lactic acid fermentation, indicating higher 2.31% GABA content. The fermented FV powder showed higher antioxidant properties than that of un-fermented FV power. $IC_{50}$ values of DPPH radical scavenging and ABTS radical scavenging activities were 1.11 mg/mL and 2.58 mg/mL, respectively. Conclusively, natural fermented seasoning from the lactic acid fermentation of 30g of FV powder and 1 g of roasted wheat bran could provide the functional ingredients with 17% GABA, probiotics and dietary fiber, which is used for health food and functional seasoning.

7개 나라가 참여해서 공동으로 제작하고 있는 국제핵융합실험로(ITER)는 2020년경에 제작 설치가 완료될 예정이다. ITER 장치에는 6개의 시험 블랑켓 모듈(Test Blanket Module : TBM)이 장착될 예정이며, 그 중에서 한국도 1개를 독자적으로 제작해서 설치할 예정이다. 한국형 헬륨 냉각 고체형 증식(Helium Cooled Solid Breeder : HCSB) TBM이며, 한국은 ITER 참여국 중 유일하게 중성자 반사 재료를 채택한 것이 특징이다. 중성자 반사재료로는 지름 1 mm 내외의 흑연 페블에 SiC를 코팅해서 사용할 예정이다. SiC는 고온저방사화 물질로 차세대 핵융합로의 구조 재료로도 개발되고 있는 물질로, 이렇게 하면 흑연의 단점인 기계적 특성 향상뿐만 아니라, 산화나 화재 등에 대한 사고의 부담도 크게 줄일 수 있는 장점이 있다. 흑연위에 SiC를 코팅하는 방법은 여러 가지가 있으며, 그 중에서 비교적 간단한 건식 방법은 RF Sputtering, PECVD 등이 있다. 건식은 코팅방법이 간단하고 비교적 쉬운 편이지만 페블표면에 양질의 SiC 박막을 얻기가 쉽지 않은 단점이 있다. 이들 방법보다 습식법은 코팅이 까다롭지만 양질의 코팅막을 비교적 쉽게 얻을 수 있는 장점이 있다. CVD의 경우 전구체 물질로 여러 가지 물질이 사용될 수 있으며 대표적으로 $SiH_4$, $Si(CH_3)_4$, $CH_3SiCl_3$ 등이 있으며, 캐리어 가스로는 $H_2$가 사용된다. 이렇게 얻어진 SiC 코팅페블은 흑연에 비해 파괴강도도 향상되고 마모 등에 강한 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

In this study, the method to improve the electrochemical performance of $LiFePO_4$ by carbon coating and morphology control into porous structure was studied. The synthesis of $LiFePO_4$ was done by coprecipitation method by two step procedure. In the first step $FePO_4$ precursor was synthesized by coprecipitation method, followed by impregnation of lithium into the precursor at $750^{\circ}C$. The carbon coating was done by both physical and chemical coating processes. Using the physical coating process, the amount of coating layer was 6% and the capacity achieved was 125 mAh/g. In case of chemical coating process, the active material delivered 130~140 mAh/g, which is about 40% improvement of delivered capacity compared to uncoated $LiFePO_4$. For the morphology control into porous structure, we added nano particles of $Al_2O_3$ or $SiO_2$ into the active materials and formed the nanocomposite of ($Al_2O_3$ or $SiO_2$)/$LiFePO_4$. Between them, $SiO_2/LiFePO_4$ porous nanocomposite showed larger capacity of 132 mAh/g.

To investigate the role of bkdR, sigL, yplP, and des genes which were known to be involved in fatty acid synthesis and sensitive at low temperature, deletion mutants of Bacillus subtilis CU1065 and JH642 were constructed. To determine the low temperature sensitivity of these genes, we compared the growth curves of cells at $37^{\circ}C$ and $15^{\circ}C$. At $37^{\circ}C$, wild type and deletion mutants showed almost similar growth but only bkdR deletion strain at $15^{\circ}C$ showed very slow growing compared with wild type. At $15^{\circ}C$ sigL and yplP deletions were somewhat slower or similar to those of wild type strain. Double and triple mutants for bkdR, sigL, yplP deletions were constructed and grown at $20^{\circ}C$ in LB agar to investigate cold sensitive growth. Double or triple deletions including bkdR deletion showed cold sensitive growing. In order to identify more clearly cold sensitive growth, the experiments were carried out under cold shock conditions in which the temperature was lowered from $37^{\circ}C$ to $15^{\circ}C$ at the point of 0.4 optical densities at 600 nm. In these cold shock experiments, only bkdR deletion showed significantly lower growing and additional des deletion increases cold sensitivity. The bkdR activates the bkd operon, which catabolized isoleucine, valine and leucine, amino acids and produce precursors for the synthesis of branched fatty acids. At cold shock growing of bkdR deletion strain, isoleucine recovered cold sensitivity of bkdR deletion but valine did not restore cold sensitivity. Isoleucine is used as a precursor for the synthesis of anteiso-branched fatty acids. On the other hand, valine is used as a precursor for the synthesis of iso-branched fatty acids. This indicates that anteiso-branched fatty acid plays an important role at the cold shock condition.

The potent biosynthetic precursors, 24$\alpha$-methylcholesterol and 24$\alpha$-methylcholestanol, and the endogenous brassinosteroids (BRs), castasterone (CS) and 6-deoxocastasterone (6-deoxoCS), were identified from shoots of maize seedlings. In addition, the presence for activities of several enzymes involved in the late C6-oxida-lion pathway from 24$\alpha$-methylcholestanol to CS was demonstrated in the plants. However, activity for brassinolide (BL) synthase which catalyze the conversion of CS to BL, the last step of the late C6-oxidation pathway, was not detected in the enzyme solution obtained from the maize shoots. Together with the fact that BL was not identified from the maize shoots, these results strongly suggested that BRs in the maize shoots are biosynthesized during seedling growth and the active BR in the shoots is not BL but CS.

최근 리튬이차전지가 전지자동차, hybrid car, PHEV, Ev, UPS 저장장치로 사용되기 시작함에 따라 고용량화, 고출력화가 요구되고 있다. 현재까지 주로 사용 되어왔던 carbon으로는 작동전압이 낮고, 고용량화, 고출력화가 어려워 금속산화물, 금속 비정질 금속 및 금속산화물을 carbon과 혼합 사용 함으로써 차세대 전지로서 특성을 달성하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 음극 소재로서 안정성이 뛰어난 금속산화물로 $Li_4Ti_5O_{12}$를 합성할 때 저가의 $TiCl_4$를 이용 $Li_4Ti_5O_{12}$가 고밀도를 갖게끔 $TiCl_4$를 이용 구형의 Ti-precursor(전구체)를 합성한 후 구형의 $Li_4Ti_5O_{12}$를 합성하였다. Ti전구체는 $TiCl_4$로부터 합성하였는데 이때 구형을 제조하고자 Hydroxypropyl cellulose(이하 HPC)를 사용하여 반응을 진행하였다. 이때 반응 조건 및 HPC의 몰수 변화에 따른 입자 형상의 변화에 관하여 관찰한 결과, $TiOCl_2$ 0.4mol, 반응온도 $10^{\circ}C$, 유지시간 6시간, HPC양 0.02mol일 때 $0.6{\mu}m$ 정도의 구형 Ti-전구체를 합성하였다. 합성된 Ti-전구체와 리튬수화물을 사용하여 $Li_4Ti_5O_{12}$를 합성 하였고, 상기 물질로 전지특성을 평가하였다.

The study was focused to investigate the effect of nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) formation due to nitrosamine (NA) precursor and/or inhibitor addition to Kimchi during the fermentation of Kimchi at room temperature ($16{\pm}2^{\circ}C$). The addition of nitrite and dimethylamine (DMA) to Kimchi showed the average 32-fold ($21.3{\sim}113.9\;\mu\textrm{g}/kg$) and 9-fold ($1.3{\sim}40.3\;\mu\textrm{g}/kg$) higher NDMA formation than control ($O{\sim}5.6\;\mu\textrm{g}/kg$), respectively. Also, the addition of both nitrite and DMA resulted in the increase of NDMA formation to average 42-fold ($39.4{\sim}155.7\;\mu\textrm{g}/kg$) higher than control. On the other hand, the addition of 4 ruM ascorbic acid to Kimchi with nitrite and DMA inhibited the formation of NDMA down to 71.3% of control. However, the addition of cysteine and erythorbic acid affected no inhibition to NDMA formation during the test. The addition of sodium sulfite increased NDMA formation. Accordingly, this showed that the amount of ascorbic acid generated during Kimchi fermentation played an important inhibition role for NA formation.

Atom-efficient preparation of 9, 9'-bis[4-(2'-hydroxy-3'-acryloyloxypropoxy) phenyl]fluorene (3), the extensively used building block for fluorene-containing acrylic epoxy polymers has been described. The epoxide ring opening esterification of 9, 9-bis[4-(glycidyloxy)phenyl]fluorene (1) with acrylic acid was catalyzed by some onium salts such as quaternary ammonium and phosphonium salts. While the coupling reactions depend greatly on the kind of the onium salts, the reaction of 9, 9-bis[4-(glycidyloxy)phenyl]fluorene (1) with acrylic acid proceed most efficiently in the presence of a catalytic amount of tetrabutylphosphonium bromide at $110^{\circ}C$ with 90% yield. This reaction is a cleaner reaction that minimizes the use of reactants and the production of chemical wastes.

dbcAMP와 theophylline이 난자의 성숙을 억제하는 기작과 난자내 glycogen 함량과의 관계를 밝혀보기 위하여 실험한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 생쥐 여포난자의 PAS 양성물빌은 glycogen이며 핵의 성숙분열이 진행됨에 따라 glycogen의 함량은 감소한다. 2. dbcAMP나 theophylline에 의해 핵의 성숙이 억제된다 하더라도 난자내의 glycogenolysiss는 촉진된다. 이에 반해 핵분열이 일어나지 않은 난자는 배양이 진행되더라도 glycogen을 그대로 유지하고 있다. 일단 dbcAMP나 theophylline에 의해 성숙이 억제되었던 난자가 성숙과정에 들어가려면 다시 glyconeogenesis가 일어나 세포질내의 glycogen의 양이 회복하며 이때의 glycogen은 핵성숙과 더불어 소모된다. 3. Glycogen의 회복은 배양액내의 glucose 유무에 관계없이 이루어지며 따라서 이는 난자내 glucose 혹은 다른 전구물질에 의해 이루어지리라고 추측된다. 4. 결국 dbcAMP나 theophylline은 난자내 cAMP의 양을 증가시켜 glycogen의 소모를 일으키는 것으로 생각되며, glycogenolysis와 난자의 핵 성숙과정이 별개로 진행되기는 하지만 성숙의 요건은 일정량 이상의 glycogen이 함유되어 있어야 한다는 것을 알게되었다.
