A thermostable pullulanase has been isolated and purified from Thermus caldophilus GK-24 to a homogeneity by gel-filtration and ion-exchange chromatography. The specific activity of the purified enzyme was 431-fold increase from the crude culture broth with a recovery of 11.4%. The purified enzyme showed $M_{r}$ of 65 kDa on denaturated and natural conditions. The pI of the enzyme was 6.1 and Schiff staining was negative, suggesting that the enzyme is not a glycoprotein. The enzyme was most active at pH 5.5. The activity was maximal at $75^{\cire}C$ and stable up to $95^{\cire}C$ for 30 min at pH 5.5. The enzyme was stable to incubation from pH 3.5 to pH 8.0 at $4^{\cire}C$ for 24hr. The presence of pullulan protected the enzyme from heat inactivation, the extent depending upon the substrate concentration. The activity of the enzyme was simulated by $Mn^{2+}$ ion, }$Ni^{2+}$, $Ca^{2+}$, $Co^{2+}$ ions. The enzyme hydrolyzed the ${\alpha}$-1,6-linkages of amylopectin, glycogens, ${\alpha}$, ${\beta}$-limited dextrin, and pullulan. The enzyme caused the complete hydrolysis of pullulan to maltotriose and the activity was inhibited by $\alpha$, $\beta$, or $\gamma$-cyclodextrins. The $NH_{2}$-terminal amino acid sequence [(Ala-Pro-Gln-(Asp of Tyr)-Asn-Leu-Leu-Xaa-ILe-Gly-Ala(Ser)] was compared with known sequences of various sources and that was compared with known sequences of various sources and that was different from those of bacterial and plant enzymes, suggesting that the enzymes are structurally different.

Effect of environmental factors and host on the growth and outbreak of various ginseng diseases was reviewed Environmental lectors included hydrogen ion concentration, moisture content, temperature, nutrition, and microbiol populations. Age of the ginseng plants in relation to several ginseng disease occurrence was also included in order to formulate the effective control measure for ginseng diseases. Damping-off caused by Rhizoctonia, Pythium, and Phytophthora, greymold by Botrytis, sclerotinia by Scleretinia, and phytophthora blight caused by Phytophthora were usually prevalent during the early growing season of ginseng when temperature is below 20$^{\circ}C$, while anthrac se caused by Colletotrichum, alternaria blight by Alternaria, and bacterial soft rot by Erwinia were so during the latter growing season when temperature is above 25$^{\circ}C$. However, the root rot incited by Fnarium and Cylindrocarpon caused severe damages throughout the growing season. Growth range of the temperature for a pathogen was highly related to the corresponding disease outbreak. Hydrogen ion concentration was highly related to the outbreak of sclerotinia, root rot, and red rot. Most severe outbreak of those diseases where the soil acidity was pH 4.7, pH 6.5- 7.5, and pH6.0-6.5, respectively. Nitrogen content in the soil was also related to outbreak of root rot and red rot. More red rot occurred where NH,-nitrogen is above 30 ppm and more root rot obtained when excessive nitrogen fertilizer applied. Yellow necrosis apparently was related to magnesium especially its ratio with potassium or calcium content in a soil. Fusarium Population showed significant .relations to missing rate of ginseng Plants in a Implanting ginseng field, while that of total bacteria showed similar relations in all ginseng field, However, in six year old ginseng fields, the more the Streptomyces population was, the less the Fusarium obtained. Consequently, less missing rate observed in a field where Streptomyces population was high. Damping-off, root rot, Rhytophthor a blight were mose severe on the nursery and on 2-3 years old ginseng plants, whereas sclerotinia, and grey cod, alteraria blight, anthracnose were severe on 4-6 years old ginseng plants. Root rot caused by Fusarium and Erwinia, however, was also severe regardless of the age of the plants when the roots were injured. Therefore, for the effective control of ginseng root rot most careful control of the disease during the early year should be rendered.

Quality characteristics of squid-sikhae prepared by four different methods(SHM: sikhae method, SHM-LA; sikhae method added with L plantarum, MM; mixed method of sikhae method and salting method, MM-LA; MM method added with L plantarum) were investigated during fermentation at $20^{\circ}C$. The pHs of all the 6-days fermented sikhae samples were in the range of 4.01-3.76, meaning that there were no significant difference in pH according to the preparation methods. Number of total microbes(TM) were decreased, while the ratio of lactic acid bacteria against TM in SHM-LA and MM-LA was higher than those of SHM and MM. There were no differences in acid protease activity, while $NH_2-N$ content of SHM and MM were higher than those of SHM-LA and MM-LA. Amylase activity was the lowest in MM-LA. Proteins separated by SDS-PAGE belonged to 7-200 kDa, the major proteins (153<94<41 kDa) of the sikhae in all plots were disappeared at 6 days fermentation. In sensory evaluation, sour taste of MM was the highest, while it was the lowest in SHM-LA. Sweet taste, bitter taste, salty taste and hot taste were not significantly different Off-flavor was decreased in lactic acid bacteria added products. Scores of the softness and overall acceptability were the highest in SHM-LA. These results indicated that SHM-LA was the best method for the preparation of squid sikhae because of the enhancement of lactic acid fermentation and overall acceptability.

Highly ordered pure-silica MCM-41 materials possessing well-defined morphology have been successfully prepared with surfactant used as a template. The fabrication of mesoporous silica has received considerable attention due to the need to develop more efficient materials' for catalysis, separations, and chemical sensing. The surface modified MCM-41 was used as anadsorbent for biomolecules. Silica-supported organic groups and DNA adsorption on surface modified MCM-41 were investigated by FT-IR and UV-Vis spectrometer, respectively. The use of MCM-41 as the modification of electrode surfaces were investigated electrochemical properties of metal mediators with biomolecules. The modified ITO electrodes increased peak currents for a redox process of $[Ru(bpy)_3]^{2+}$ relative to the bare electrode. The electrochemical detection of DNA by cyclic voltammetry when the current is saturated in the presence of the mediator appeared more sensitive due to a higher catalytic current on the MCM-41 supported electrodes modified by carboxylic acid functional groups. The carboxyl or amine groups on the surface of MCM-41 interact and react with the $-NH_2$ groups of guanine and backbone, respectively. Highly ordered mesoporous materials with organic groups could find applications as DNA sensors.

$TiO_2$-coated fly ash was synthesized by dropping method of coating agent in order to get $TiO_2$ coating layer with high photocatalytic activity on the surface of coal fly ash. The properties of the $TiO_2$ coating layer such as morphology, crystal structure, crystal size and photocatalytic activity were compared with those of the $TiO_2$-coated fly ash prepared by the traditional method of precipitation. $TiCl_4$ aqueous solution was used as a titanium stock solution and $NH_4HCO_3$ was used as a precipitant. The $TiO_2$ coating layer obtained by dropping method of coating agent was more uniform than that coated by precipitation. However, the crystal of $TiO_2$ coated by dropping method of coating agent was easy to grow by heat treatment because of the small primary particle size and bulky morphology, and its photocatalytic activity was consequently lower than that of the $TiO_2$ coated by precipitation. The $TiO_2$ coating layer obtained by both methods had a crystal structure of anatase, and the temperature of phase transformation into rutile was 90$0^{\circ}C$. The minimum crystal size of $TiO_2$ for the highest photocatalytic activity was found to be about 10nm.

The activated sludge obtained from wastewater coke oven plant was immobilized by entrapment with polyethylene glycol (PEG). The effects of several factors on the biodegradation of $CN^-$ from. synthetic wastewater were investigated using batch and continuous reactors. The degradation rate of $CN^-$ increased with increasing of the immobilized bead volume in the reactor. Approximately 7.65mg/L of $NH_4-N$ was produced upon the degradation of 35mg/L of $CN^-$. When high concentrations of the toxic cyanide complex were used in the testing of cyanide degradation, the free activated sludge could be inhibited more than that of the immobilized activated sludge. When the phenol concentration was higher than 400mg/L in the synthetic wastewater, approximately 98.4% of $CN^-$ was removed within 42 hours by the immobilized activated sludge. However, the cyanide was not completely degraded by the tree activated sludge. This indicates that high phenol concentrations can act as a toxic factor for the free activated sludge. A $CN^-$ concentration of less than 1mg/L was achieved by the immobilized sludge at the loading rate of 0.025kg $CN^-/m^3-d$. Moreover, it was found that the HRT should be kept for 48 hours in order to obtain stable treatment conditions.

[ $TiO_2$ ] nanotubes for photocatalytic application have been synthesized by hydrothermal method. $TiO_2$ nanotubes are formed by washing process after reaction in alkalic solution. Nanotubes with different morphology have been fabricated by changing NaOH concentration, temperature and time. $TiO_2$ nanoparticles were treated inside NaOH aqueous solution in a Teflon vessel at $110^{\circ}C$ for 20 h, after which they were washed with HCl aqueous solution and deionized water. Nanotube with the most perfect morphology was formed from 0.1 N HCl washing treatment. $TiO_2$ nanotube was also obtained when the precursor was washed with other washing solutions such as $NH_4OH$, NaCl, $K_2SO_4$, and $Na_2SO_3$. Therefore, it was suggested that $Na^+$ ion combined inside the precursor compound slowly comes out from the structure, leaving nanosheet morphology of $TiO_2$ compounds, which in turn become the nanotube in the presence of hydroxyl ion. To stabilize the sheet morphology, the different type of washing treatment solution might be considered such as amine class compounds.
