The effect of dissolved oxygen(DO) on microbial transglutaminase(mTG) production by Streptoverticillium morbaraense was studied in on-line computer controlled fermentation system. In order to control dissolved oxygen during fermentation, the agitation speed and aeration rate of 2.5 L fermenter ranged from 260 to 360 rpm and 0.3 to 3.9 L/min, respectively. The maximum microbial transglutaminase production was obtained at controlled 20% of dissolved oxygen among the various dissolved oxygen controlled batch cultures tested. The production of microbial transglutaminase at controlled 20% of dissolved oxygen was about 2.12 U/mL which was 1.1 times higher than that obtained in batch culture without control of dissolved oxygen. Also, the highest microbial transglutaminase production was obtained in fed-batch cultures in which dissolved oxygen was controlled at 20%, and it was improved almost 1.3 times in comparison with that without control of dissolved oxygen. Maximal dry cell weight and microbial transglutaminase production were 13.2 g/L and 2.6 U/mL, respectively. Finally, it was also found that fed-batch fermentation at controlled 20% of dissolved oxygen showed a good performance for the microbial transglutaminase production by on-line computer controlled fermentation system which may be generally applicable to other microbial cultures.

Effects of the combinations of six oxygen concentrations ($control, 0.6, 1.0, 2.0, 3.4 and 7.4 mg DO/l$) and two salinity levels ($20{\%_{\circ}} and 32{\%_{\circ}}$) on the rates of oxygen consumption, ammonia excretion and mortality of the mysid, Neomysis awatschensis were tested at $20{\circ}C$. The lethal level ($96 hr-LC-(50)$) of dissolved oxygen for mysid at $20{\%_{\circ}} and 32{\%_{\circ}} were 2,20 mg DO/l and 1.60 mg DO/l$ respectively, and all mysids died within $24hr at 0.6 mg DO/l$. Oxygen consumption rate of mysid was increased with dissolved oxygen increase at $20{\%_{\circ}} and 32{\%_{\circ}}$, but ammonia excretion rate was high af $1.0 mg DO/l$ during 96h exposure to DO concentration, and significantly greater in $20{\%_{\circ}} than 32{\%_{\circ}}$. $O:N$ ratio of mysid exposed during 96hr with salinity anil dissolved oxygen was below $10 at 20{\%_{\circ}} and 1,0{\~}2.0 mg DO/l, and was 4.4 at 32{\%_{\circ}} and 1.0 mg DO/l$. These results indicated that mysids were capable of changing their energy substrate in response to salinity and DO changes, and obtaining energy from proteins.

FET-type dissolved oxygen sensor has the Pt working electrode around the pH-ISFET. Appling a voltage to the working electrode, the hydrogen ion which is proportional to the dissolved oxygen concentration occurs around the pH sensing gate and we can measure the dissolved oxygen concentration by detecting pH concentration through the pH-ISFET. In this paper, a dissolved oxygen measurement system using FET-type dissolved oxygen sensor array which adopt a specific algorithm to enhance the reliability has been developed and we compared its performance with the commercial dissolved oxygen measurement system.

General consensus on typical vertical profile of dissolved oxygen in the Ulleung Basin is that dissolved oxygen concentration beyond 300 m decreases with increasing depth. However, the results of our observations in 2005 and 2006 revealed three different dissolved oxygen distribution types in the deep layer of the Ulleung Basin. The first type showed oxygen concentration decreasing with increasing depth (Type-1), the second showed oxygen concentration decreasing very sharply near the bottom boundary layer but constant in the bottom adiabatic layer (Type-2), the final was of the oxygen minimum layer above the bottom boundary layer (Type-3). Type-2 was the most common pattern in the Ulleung Basin. Type-1 was most common close to the Japan Basin, including the Ulleung Interplane Gap, while Type-3 was found around Dok do. Oxygen Consumption Rate (OCR) at surface sediment estimated using the dissolved oxygen distribution at the bottom boundary layer was $0.2{\sim}5.8\;mmol{\cdot}m^{-2}d^{-1}$, which coincided with OCR from direct sediment incubation. This implies that organic matter decomposition at surface sediment may play an important role in dissolved oxygen distribution patterns at the bottom boundary layer of the Ulleung Basin.

In the electrokinetic(EK) process, oxygen production by electrolysis was proportional to current density. The dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration in anode tank and bioreactor increased with the circulation rate of electrolyte. The bacterial population in bioreactor rapidly increased by the supplement of current, but the DO concentration deceased by the increased bacterial oxygen consumption. From the results of EK bioremediation for pentadecane-contaminated soil, the bacterial population and removal efficiency at 1.88 $mA/cm^2$ were lower than those at 0.63 $mA/cm^2$. This is because the high oxygen production rate largely increased the production rate of organic acids, which reduced the electrolyte pH and bacterial activity. At 0.63 $mA/cm^2$, the highest bacterial population and removal efficiency could be obtained due to the appropriate oxygen production and small decrease in pH.

PWR 정지시 일차계통 수화학 제어의 주요대상은 계통표면에 침적된 부식생성물의 주성분인 비화학양론적 니켈(코발트)페라이트로서, 산성-환원 단계에서 용존수소에 의해 Ni$^{\circ}$ (또는 Co$^{\circ}$)로 환원되고 산성-산화 단계에서 용존산소에 의해 Ni$^{2+}$ (또는 CO$^{2+}$)로 산화되어 이온교환기에 의해 제거된다 본 연구에서는, 니켈 및 코발트 산화물의 25~300 $^{\circ}C$ 환원 또는 산화반응 시 표준자유에너지의 변화 및 용존수소 또는 용존산소의 요구농도를 계산하여, 원자로 정지시 일차계통수 용존 기체의 제어조건을 고찰하였다. 산성-환원 단계의 냉각재 온도인 300~82$^{\circ}C$ 범위에서 용존수소가 충분할 경우 열역학적으로 $^{58}$ Co(또는 $^{60}$Co)Fe$_2$O$_4$$\longrightarrow$Co의 역반응이 억제되므로서 노심외 계통부위 침적이 감소될 수 있기 때문에, 용존수소를 온도에 따라 요구농도 곡선 위로 약간 높게 유지하는 것보다 25~50 cc/kg-$H_2O$로 유지하는 방식이 바람직한 반면, 용존산소를 제공하는 과산화수소 농도가) 2.7 ppm일 때 NiFe$_2$O$_4$$\longrightarrow$Ni$_2$O$_4$(+$\alpha$-Fe$_2$O$_3$) 반응이 일어날 수 있기 때문에, 산성-산화 단계에서는 과산화수소의 냉각재 농도를 이보다 낮게 유지하는 것이 바람직하다.

To investigate the effects of the dissolved oxygen concentration (DO) on Scope for growth (SFG) of the manila clam, Ruditapes philippinarum, we measured $LC_{50}$, filtration, respiration, ammonia excretion, and assimilation rates under $23\pm0.5^{\circ}C$ as a function of DO. The $LC_{50}$ of DO for R. philippinarum, was 2.4 mgDO $L^{-1}$. With decreasing DO, filtration and respiration rates of R. philippinarum decreased, while ammonia excretion rate increased, The assimilation rate was $68.2\%$ at 6.5 mgDO $L^{-1}$, decreased to $29.8\~39.3\%$ at 3.5 mgDO $L^{-1}$. R. philippinarum had positive SFG's at the $DO{\geq}2.5mgDO\;L^{-1}$.

Three types of aeration system were installed in experimental liquid fertilization tanks to investigate the change of characteristics of pig slurry used as a raw material for making livestock liquid fertilizer. The aeration systems of the reaction tanks were composed of three major part: the air suppling part (blower), the air pipe part, and the air diffuser part. In the first tank (reactor A), the air was supplied from the bottom of the reaction tank through air pipe system connecting air diffuser with commercial ordinary blower. In the second tank (reactor B), the air diffuser was located 10cm above the bottom of the reactor. In the third tank (reactor C), the pure air was supplied with circulating pjg slurry. The oxygen content of pure air was about 90%. The pure air was mixed with pig slurry by mechanically in the air suppling part (blower) and the air pipe part. The agitation effect was highest in the reactor C than other reactors. The contents of SS, COD, T-N and T-P of each samples collected at middle part of all reactors were 8,500, 4,188, 694 and 422mg/L; 9,000, 4,247, 813 and 356mg/L; 8,667, 6,910, 973 and 269mg/L, respectively.
