In this study the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) combined with denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) was evaluated as a method permitting the rapid detection of pathogens in fresh originally grown vegetables. A universal primer (341GCf/534r) was selected for its ability to amplify the V3 region of 16S-rRNA genes in their target pathogens (Salmonella typhimurium, Pseudomonas fluorescens, Bacillus cereus, Listeria monoytogenes, Staphyloocus aureus, E. coli). The 194 bp fragments in PCR were successfully duplicated as expected. The amplified fragments of the same size from six different pathogens also showed good separation upon DGGE. The detection limit of PCR-DGGE for six pathogens in fresh-cut lettuces were over $10^{5}$ CFU/g when sampled by stomaching. However, when the sampling method was changed from stomaching to shaking, the detection limit of six pathogens in organic vegetables was shown to increase by over $10^{1}$ CFU/g, but only those of B. cereus were over $10^{3}$ CFU/g. Therefore, PCR-DGGE was shown to be a reliable method for the detection of pathogens in fresh-cut vegetables.

Lab scale experiment study was carried out for biological treatment process development in shipboard. SBR(Sequence Batch Reactor) process with BM(Beneficial Microorganisms) was investigated for practical application on shipboard sewage treatment. From the results it was suggested that SBR process with BM might be a suitable process in terms of harmful materials removal. By adding BM to SBR system, the useful species of microorganisms and EPS(Extracellar Polymetric Substances) in sludge was increased. It was found that the biodegrability and harmful organic compounds like VOCs and harmful inorganic compounds like heavy metals. was reduced over 70%. As far as reclamation water is considered, this process is very advantageous to special environments such as cruise ships, because the method of adding BM makes it unnecessary to add other facilities on the SBR system.

Theoretical estimation of overall stoichiometry for the microbial degradation of hazardous organic compounds is described. Half-reaction method based on microbial energetics was used in the theoretical estimation. In addition to the half-reaction method, other theoretical methods such as intermediate formation, oxygenation reaction, and estimation of the standard free energy of formation by group contribution theory were also applied. As a case study, the application of these methods was demonstrated for the estimation of microbial kinetics in the biodegradation of phenanthrene which was chosen as a model hazardous organic compound along with glucose and hexadecane. The cell yield, oxygen requirement, nitrogen requirement, and mineralization ratio could be estimated from the overall stoichiometry. It is believed that these theoretical estimation methods are useful tools for practical design and assessment of bioremediation of soil and groundwater contaminated with hazardous organic compounds.

활성탄소섬유의 유해 미생물의 번식 억제력을 조사하기 위해 한천베지배양법을 이용하였다. 전이금속으로 코팅된 활성탄소섬유는 일부 유해 미생물에서 번식억제력이 나타났으며, 유해 미생물은 인간의 피부 부종을 야기시키는 미생물인 candida albicans이었다. 그리고 코팅 활성탄소섬유의 흡 탈착력은 코팅되지 않은 활성탄소섬유보다 약 5% 내외로 감소함을 알 수 있었다.

항생제는 병원성 미생물 및 그 밖의 유해한 세포의 발육 또는 기능을 억제하는 물질로써, 가축의 사료에 이러한 항생제를 첨가하여 급여하게 되면 장내에서 유해한 미생물의 증식과 발육을 억제하고 정상적인 균총을 유지함으로써 질병을 예방할 수 있으며, 과도한 장내 미생물의 증식에 의한 불필요한 영양소 손실을 막고 영양소의 소화와 흡수촉진 및 사료 섭취량을 증진시키는 등의 효과를 얻을 수 있기 때문에, 축산업에서 가축의 생산성 향상 및 질병예방을 위하여 일정수준의 항생제가 첨가된 배합사료를 급여하는 것이 일반적이었다.(중략)

환경에 관한 지식의 증가와 더불어 환경오염을 적극적으로 해결하기 위한 새로운 연구들은 국경을 초월하고 있다 특히, 미국을 비롯한 여러 환경고도기술국가들속의 실험실의 주역들은 ＜환경 미생물＞을 이용한 제어연구에 엄청난 자본과 심혈을 바치고 있다. 실제로 미국 EPA에 의해 이미 유해유기화합물로 규정된 수많은 물질들이 이른바 환경미생물을 이용한 생물학적인 처리를 통해서, 이산화탄소와 물 및 메탄가스등의 무해한 무기화합물로 변환시킬 수 있음이 이미 확증된 바 있다. 아무리 많은 환경미생물들이라 할지라도 그 미생물 군들의 적절한 선택과, 대사작용이 최상의 상태로 유지될 수만 있다면, 환경오염물질들의 생물학적 처리는 개선된 최신방법중의 하나가 될 것이다. 또 이와 같은 미생물을 이용한 각종 처리방법 및 기작의 신개발은 21세기 환경오염문제 해결에 <마스터키> 역할을 감당해 나갈 것으로 기대된다.

순환여과식 양식은 어류를 효과적으로 대량 생산할 수 있는 반면 어류의 배설물과 미섭취 사료 등에 의해서 암모니아, 아질산 및 유기질 고형 성분 등이 발생하여 사육중인 어류에 나쁜 영향을 야기하게 된다. 배설물과 미섭취 사료는 대부분 유기성 고형물로 어류의 아가미에 끼여 질병을 유발시키며 미생물에 의해 분해되면서 어류에 유해한 암모니아나 아질산으로 전환되어 어류에 유해하다. 그러므로 미생물에 의해 분해되기 전에 신속하고 효과적으로 제거하여야 한다. (중략)

Effect of extract of fermented dropwort (Oenanthe stolonifera) on growth of intestinal harmful/useful bacteria and enzyme activity were investigated in vitro. The extract showed strong inhibition on harmful microbes including Vibrio and Salmonella, but mild inhibition on Bifidobacterium longum in both agar plate and liquid cultivation. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) value of B. longum was the highest among tested microbes. Inhibition effect of fermented extract on harmful microbes increased according to fermentation period. Extract of fermented dropwort showed inhibitory effects on activity of microbial ${\beta}$-glucuronidase and tryptophanase. The inhibitory effects were also proportional to fermentation period. As consequence, it is assumed that the uptake of fermented dropwort might be useful for human intestinal health.

It is said that the reason Bulgarians enjoy longevity is that they have a lot of yogurt, whose $Lactobacillus$ controls intestinal poison-producing germs. In young individuals, the number of bifidobacteria exceeds 10 billion per 1 g of intestinal content, but this number decreases for older or senile individuals, who have a larger number of harmful microorganisms such as $Clostridium$. In addition, it is well known that artificially increasing intestinal bifidobacteria can help control harmful microorganisms and thus facilitate a healthier and longer life. The microorganisms used for artificial spawn are referred to as probiotic microorganisms, and in general, lactic acid bacteria(LAB) are used. Unlike antibiotics, which kill harmful microorganisms, probiotic microorganisms coexist with and control them, while improving the health of the individual, that is, they can improve and invigorate host cells. Because probiotic microorganisms and its products based on LAB are known to help prevent and treat constipation, diarrhea, intestinal inflammation, and blood cholesterol and generally improve health through the purification of intestines, its market has been continuously expanding. Korea imports approximately 90% of spawn and uses them. It is likely that they are not appropriate for Korean's physical condition. Thus, considering this problem into account, Entecbio, a biotech firm in Korea, has produced various products by using its proprietary microorganisms. In this paper, the effects, characteristics, and kinds of products from based on proprietary microorganisms, with its prospect for market, etc., are generally examined.
