This study aimed to optimize the culture conditions of recombinant Escherichia coli expressing otsBA using crude glycerol for the enhanced production of trehalose. The effects of culture temperature and isopropyl ${\beta}$-D-1-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG)-induction were investigated. Trehalose production and cell growth were highest when cells were cultured at $37^{\circ}C$ and induced with IPTG. The concentrations of IPTG, validamycin A, and NaCl were optimized using Box-Behnken design. Statistical analyses of the experimental data revealed that the concentrations of IPTG and NaCl had significant effects on trehalose production, but that of validamycin A did not. Contour plot analysis and model calculation showed that the highest amount of trehalose could be produced at 298 mM NaCl and 0.1 mM IPTG. Under these optimal conditions, the optical density at 600 nm and trehalose production were $5.4{\pm}0.2$ and $304{\pm}15mg/l$, respectively.

Reuterin production efficiency of Lactobacillus reuteri, which converts glycerol into reuterin (antimicrobial substance) under anaerobic condition, was examined. When compared at $32,\;37,\;and\;42^{\circ}C$, production rate and total amount produced increased with increasing incubation temperature. Reuterin production terminated earlier at $42^{\circ}C$ than at $32\;and\;37^{\circ}C$. Presence of various amino acids in the reaction mixture generally decreased reuterin production, whereas proline did not inhibit reuterin production. A continuous-type reactor in which glycerol was passed through the chamber containing L. reuteri cells produced greater amount of reuterin than when batch-type process was used.

In this study, we evaluated the heating characteristics of single sonication and superposed two low-intensity ultrasonic sonication. Compare the results, the superposed sonication was showed a superior thermal effect than single sonication. And the maximum temperature was increased as 120-150%. The starting time of temperature rising has been shortened in superposed sonication. In addition, the time up to the maximum temperature has been shortened, too. In generally, as the ultrasonic intensity is higher, the more surface damage is occurred. However, in the case of superposed sonication, the same thermal effect had be confirmed without surface damage. Through the results of the study, we thought that the superposed sonication will be able to reduce the intensity of the ultrasonic treatment. And, by using the low-intensity, the more safe and more effect therapy will be possible in therapeutic ultrasound application.

Vibrio, Photobacterium, Alteromonas and Xenorhabdus species are capable of emitting light, called bioluminescence. They exist in marine, freshwater and terrestrial environments. Bacterial bioluminescent reaction is that reduced riboflavin phosphates and a long-chain aldehyde are oxidized in the presence of molecular oxygen and enzyme luciferase. This experiment aims to develop the proper culture media and to optimize the storage condition for the recovery of bioluminescent activity in Photobacterium phosphoreum. The Luria broth (LB) medium was modified for cultivation of Photobacterium phophoreum, called as modified LB(mLB) medium. The mLB medium is LB fortified with 3% glycerol and 1.5% NaCl. In mLB medium. bacterial growth and bioluminescent activity are 25% higher than those in a Nutrient broth medium. When the cell stocks were stored at $-20^{\circ}C$, $-70^{\circ}C$ and LN2 for 3 months, cell growth and bioluminescent activity of culture after stored at $-20^{\circ}C$ were better than those of other treatments. The highest bioluminescent activity obtained at the late exponential phase in all treatments. When the cell stock was freeze-dried with 5% adonitol as a cryoprotectant, the recovery of cell was better than those of control and freeze-dried cell stock without addition of cryoprotectant.

To study the effects of structural difference and fatty acid chain length of glyceride, new dispersion agents having various glyceride structures such as mono-, di-, and tri-, were prepared using glycerol extracted from palm oil and fatty acid having various chain length ranges from 12 to 18. These dispersion agents were mixed with the rubber compounds and compared with conventional metal salt dispersion agents. Glyceride dispersion agent provided remarkable improvement in silica dispersion, compared to metal salt fatty acidic one, even though the viscosity of mixtures was relatively high due to low lubricating effect, and this was approved by mechanical properties, wear properties, and Payne effect. Also, the longer in chain length of fatty acid and the smaller in numbers of fatty acid, the dispersity of silica was improved.

This study reports a synthesis of an amphiphilic linear block copolymer consisting of a hydrophobic poly (lactide) (PLA) block and a hydrophilic hyperbranched polyglycerol (hbPG) block, PLA-b-hbPG. Simple chemical modification of the hbPG block with 4-hydroxycinnamic acid (CA) led to a photo-crosslinkable block copolymer, PLA-b-hbPG-CA. Nanosized micelles of the block copolyemrs were used as drug carriers for sustainable release. The hbPG shell made of a small molecular weight hbPG block showed excellent hydrophilicity, which can minimize in vivo toxicity. The UV-crosslinked PLA-b-hbPG-CA micelles loaded with drugs colud be served as a drug delivery carrier for its biocompatibility and self-assembled structures.

Biodiesel is a renewable energy which is nontoxic and acting as a replacement for conventional diesel which derived from fossil fuel. Classified biodiesel producing way such as acid, base, supercritical and enzyme methods, this study focused on eco-friendly production of biodiesel using supercritical and immobilized enzyme process. Assuming a plant with a production rate of 10,000 tons a year, a PRO II simulator program was used to simulate the product conversion rate and total energy consumption. The product conversion in supercritical process and immobilized enzyme was found to be 91.17% (including 0.9% glycerol) and 93.18% (including 1.0% glycerol) respectively. The result shows that the efficiency of immobilized enzyme process is higher compared to supercritical process but having lower end product purity. From the energy consumption point of view, supercritical process consume about 8.9 MW while immobilized enzyme process consume much lower energy which is 3.9 MW. Consequently, this study certifies that energy consumption of supercritical process is 2.3 times higher than immobilized enzyme process.

In this study, nanoporous iron oxide layers were fabricated by the anodization of 304 series stainless steel. K₂HPO₄/glycerol solution was used as an electrolyte for anodization. We investigated the anodization behavior according to various parameters such as electrolyte concentration, reaction temperature, applied voltage, and reaction time. As a result of anodization, we confirmed that the anodic growth rate of oxide layer on 304 series stainless steel increased with increasing the electrolyte temperature and applied potential. In order to form well-ordered porous nanostructures, the electrolyte temperature was at 160 ℃, and the applied potential was at 30 V in 10 wt% K₂HPO₄/glycerol electrolyte.
