This study was conducted to understand the growth of attached microbial community in small and medium streams of Gyeonggi-do and the removal efficiency of fluoride with changes in growth. The sites monitoring were carried out for 12 weeks at the P1 and P2(P1 is the point where the discharge water flows. P2 is the downstream point of about 2 km flow), and investigated the water quality and the biomass analysis of the attached microbial community. The growth of the attached microbial community increased up to the 7th investigation, and it was observed that detachment phenomenon occurred. Influencing factors about growth of the attached microbial community were flow rate, velocity, and organic material(T-N & T-P). Meanwhile, fluoride content of attached microbial community also tended to increase until the 7th investigation, and decrease from the 8th. It is assumed that fluoride content has also be reduced with the detachment phenomenon of the attached microbial community. It is expected that this will contribute to the evaluation and management of the use of attached microbial community as a means of stream management. The application of techniques using the attached microbial community should include basic investigation of factors that may affect the growth of the attached microbial community and replacement of the attachment plate according to the time of removal.

Optical microscope, SEM and fluorescent microscope were used for qualitative and morphological studies of the attachment bacteria on PE substratum under anaerobic condition. The observation of optical microscopic has demonstrated that the initial attachment of bacteria began in crevices of surface. In SEM photographs, shape and structure of biofilm could be observed, but bacteria species and methanogens was not identified. A large number of methanogenic bacteria were showed on the surface of PE substratum by fluorescence under 480nm of radiation. It was estimated that methanogenic bacteria was related to initial attachment of bacteria under anaerobic condition.

고분자 담체의 경우 표면의 화학적 성질인 소수성과 물리적 성질인 표면거칠기는 미생물 부착과 관련이 있지만 두 요소 중, 표면거칠기의 영향이 더 크다고 볼 수 있으며 담체 표면의 소수성이 작고 표면거칠기가 클수록 혐기성 미생물이 잘 부착되었다.

This study was conducted to determine effects of whole and processed corns on attachment characteristics of rumen microbes in Hanwoo. Whole corn(WC) was processed into four different types; ground corn(GC), cracked corn(CC), flaked corn(FC), and soaked corn(SC). After each processed corns was incubated in the rumen of Hanwoo for 12 h and 24 h, attachment characteristics of rumen microbes and morphological changes of feed substrates was examined by utilizing scanning electron microscopy(SEM). In this study, the treatment group of GC and CC showed the highest in the attachment of rumen microbes. On the other hand, microbial attachments to the starch particle of WC and SC were hardly detected. However, with the increase of incubation time the surface of WC and SC was covered by many microbes, resulting in enhancing the surface degradation.

This study was carried out in Osan river to quantitatively investigate behavior of attacked microbial community (AMC) for enhancing self-purification process of river. We gained the results such as follows throughout long-term monitoring at in-situ river. The biomass of AMC had higher in the riffle than the almost stagnant pool and they were more developed in the riffle with high current velocity (HCV). Although the fast flowing current affects negatively to growth of the AMC during the early phase when the community gets attached to the benthic substrate, it was observed that it affected positively to their growth during the intermediate and later phase after the community is adapted to the substrate. When turbulence due to external pressure (storm or discharge of dam and reservoir) occurs, the degree of separation depends upon the flowing strength and the type of the external pressure. Since the community is not all separated, recovery is rather fast. Therefore, this study found that the degree of reduction of the pollutant by self-purification of the stream is depended upon the riverbed shape and the AMC contributes to self-purification positively or negatively in river. Therefore, the riverbed shape must be constructed in accordance with the characteristics of water quality in stream. Furthermore, the technique of installing the water channel structure appropriate for each section must be developed to maximize self-purification ability.

섬유제품을 착용하면, 땀ㆍ피지ㆍ때 등 피부로부터 대사 노폐물이 섬유표면에 부착되고, 의복이 오염되어 비위생적이 된다. 오염물이 부착된 섬유제품에서는 악취가 발생함과 더불어, 보온성이나 통기성이 저하하기 때문에 착용감이 나빠진다. 피부에 상존하는 세균이나 외부로부터 부착된 미생물은 섬유에 부착된 인간의 노폐물이나 오염물질 등의 유기화합물을 소화시켜 휘발성 악취물질을 발생한다.$^{1)}$ 항균 방취 가공은 미생물의 부착과 번식을 억제하고 나아가서 불쾌감을 없애주는 기술이다. (중략)

The use of electric field has been studied as an alternative for biofilm control dominated by disinfectants and antibiotics. This technology would be advantageous in the environmental respect that biofilm can be controlled based on electron transfer, not using chemical disinfectants and antibiotics. Control mechanisms which were reported by earlier studies are organized as; (1) bacterial adhesion control by electrostatic repulsion at a negative current, (2) bacterial adhesion control using bacterial motion and (3) bacterial inactivation by direct oxidation at a positive current, (4) bioelectric effect leading to biofilm inactivation. In this review article, we summarized the technologies for biofilm control using electric field and provided some application examples from previous studies.

To understand the role of protozoa in the early formation of microbial fouling community, the studies on the formation of microbial film, the succession of microbial fouling communities, and the grazing pressure on bacteria population in microbial film were carried out in the laboratory, Inchon outer port and Inchon inner harbour. Bacteria and heterotrophic flagellates formed primary microbial film on the aluminum surface within 6 hours and oligotrich ciliates were observed 2 cells $mm^{-2}$ on the same surface at 9 hours in Inchon inner harbour which had physically stagnant condition. The larvaes of Balanus albicostatus which were dominant meiobenthos in Inchon coastal area attached on the glass surface at the first day of experiment. Heterotrophic flagellates showed maximum abundance of 465 cells $mm^{-2}$ at the 13rd day and ciliates showed maximum abundance of 63 cells $mm^{-2}$ at the 11st day in the Inchon inner harbour. In the Inchon outer port which opens to the outer sea, the maximum abundance of protozoa occurred at early phase, but not so many. The dominant heterotrophic flagellates were Metrornonas simplex and Bodonids. Dominant ciliates were small tintinnids and oligotrich ciliate Strombidium sp., Large Strombidium (oligotrich ciliate) and sessile Acineta turberosa (suctorian ciliate) occurred after 10 days. The attached larvae of Balanus occurred as biofouling organism on the early surface and showed maximum abundance of 18 indiv. $cm^{-2}$ at 7th day. At that time, adult barnacles were observed on the surface and dead barnacles were observed after two days. Except barnacles, the larvaes of Anthozoa sp., Oysters (Crassostrea gigas) and Polychaeta were observed on the surface from 3rd day. 3 benthic copepods including Harpacticus sp., I isopod, 1 polychaeta and 1 gastropoda were observed as predators of the microbial film on the surface after 7 days when microbial film developed very well. Although the ingestion rates of protozoa on the bactctia of the rnicrobi31 film were relatively low, the average grazing rate of protozoa on bacteria was high of 0.058 $h^{-1}$. This implied that the grazing pressure of protozoa influences the mortality of bacteria populations on the microbial film. but protozoa cannot get enough energy from only bacteria on the microbial film.
