A reactive dye-degrading bacterium was isolated from textile waste water and it was identified as Stenotrophomonas maltophilia based on its biochemical characteristics. The effects of additional carbon and nitrogen sources were investigated for the development of an optimal medium for biodegradation of Remazol Black B by 5. maltophilia. The optimal pH and temperature were determined to be 6.5 and 3$0^{\circ}C$, respectively. Remazol Black B with the initial concentration of 50 ppm could be degraded up to 86% within 28 h.

수소에너지는 환경과 에너지문제를 동시에 해결할 수 있는 가장 이상적인 에너지원으로 여겨지고 있으나 수소저장 기술이 그 이용을 제한하고 있는 실정이다. 최근 탄소나노 튜브를 비롯하여 탄소계 신소재를 이용한 수소저장 연구는 탄소재료가 가볍고 안정성이 우수한 장점을 가지고 있어서 매우 주목받고 있다. 이미 많은 연구결과들이 DOE(Department of Energy)가 발표한 상업적으로 이용 가능한 목표인 6.5wt%의 수소 저장량을 만족함에도 불구하고 아직도 그 연구 결과에 대하여 재현성 및 신뢰성이 부족한 게 사실이다. 따라서 이를 확인하려는 많은 시도들과 새로운 연구들이 필요하다고 할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 지금까지 발표된 연구결과를 바탕으로 나노구조를 갖는 탄소재료의 수소저장특성과 수소저장방법 등을 고찰해보고 또 다양하게 제시된 연구방법들을 고찰함으로써 수소저장매체로서 탄소재료의 연구 방향을 제시하고자 하였다.

The cyclic metabolism of poly(3-hydroxyhutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) synthesized from glucose by Alcaligenes sp. SH-69 in the presence or absence of new carbon substrate was investigated. In batch culture, the content and weight average molecular weight of the copolymer already stored in the cell decreased rapidly when there was no other carbon source available. After the depletion of carbon source, the amount of high molecular weight copolymer decreased more rapidly than that of low molecular weight copolymer, and as a result, average molecular weight distribution shifted to the lower value. The addition of a mixture of glucose and levulinic acid when the initial carbon substrate, glucose, was nearly depleted supported the continual increase in cell mass and the accumulation of poly(3HB-co-3HV) with high molar fraction of 3HV. However, solvent fractionation of the polymer with acetone revealed the degradation of pre-existing polyhydroxyalkanoale (PHA) in parallel with the synthesis of PHA from new carbon substrate. Even though PHAs obtained from each substrate alone were the copolymer of 3HB and 3HV, it was found that the polymer accumulated in the cells grown by sequential feeding was mainly physical mixture of two poly(3HB-co-3HV) copolymers containing different molar fractions of 3HV.

Among the carbon sources, glucose was good for the production of cellulase. The optimum concentration of saccharose as 1.2%. As a organic nitrogen source, yeast extract was good for the mycelial growth. The optimum concentration of yeast extract as 1.5%. As a inorganic nitrogen source, $NH_{4}H_{2}PO_{4}$ was good for the mycelial growth. The optimum concentration of $NH_{4}H_{2}PO_{4}$ were 1.1%. The mineral salt of $Al_{2}(SO_{4})_{3}$ was effective and the optimum concentration was 0.1 M.

A gas-substrate degrading bacterium, Nocardia SW3, was isolated from the gasoline contaminated aquifer using propane and butane as carbon and energy sources. We have examined the effects of substrate concentration, temperature and pH on the gas substrate degradation as well as MTBE cometabolic degradation. The result for the effect of substrate concentration showed that the maximum degradation rates of propane and butane were 30.6 and 25.4 (n㏖/min/mg protein) at 70 $\mu$㏖, respectively. The optimum temperature and pH for the degradation of gas substrate were $30^{\circ}C$ and 7, respectively. Substrate degradation activity, however, was still active in broad range of pH from 5 to 8 and temperature between $15^{\circ}C$and$35^{\circ}C$. The degradation activity of Nocardia SW3 for the MTBE was similar to the both substrates. The observed maximal transformation yields ($T_y$) were 46.7 and 35.0 (n㏖ MTBE degraded $\mu$㏖ substrate utilized), and the maximal transformation capacities ($T_c$) were 320 and 280 (n㏖MTBE degraded/mg biomass used) for propane and butane oxidizing activity on MTBE, respectively. And also, TBA was detected as by-product of MTBE and it was continuously degraded further.

The production of extracellular mannitot by an efficient mannitol-producing bacterium, Lactobacillus sp. KY-107 was studied in shake flask culture using the modified MRS medium. Maximum mannitol production was obtained with fructose as the sole carbon source. Within 95 hours of incubation, a final concentration of 70g/L of mannitol from 100g/L fructose was obtained with an indicated yield of 86% based on fructose consumed. However, higher concentrations of fructose could not effectively be transformed to mannitol due to a lack of osmotolerance. The strain produced no other polyols such as glycerol and sorbitol as by-products. Yeast extract was best nitrogen source and high levels of inorganic phosphate up to 10g/L did not show any detrimental effect for mannitol formation. Manganese ion played important role in both cell growth and mannitol production. The optimum culture temperature and initial pH were $35^{\circ}C$ and 6-8, respectively.

The production of extracellular mannitol by a new mannitol-producing bacterium, Leuconostoc sp. KY-002 was studied in shake flask cultures. The new isolate has a capability of utilizing fructose and sucrose for mannitol formation. Maximum mannitol production was obtained with fructose as the sole carbon source. Under the optimal culture conditions, within 70 hours of incubation, a final concentration of 26 g/L of mannitol from 50 g/L fructose was obtained with an indicated yield of 52% based on fructose consumed. However, higher concentrations of fructose ranging from 100 to 250 g/L could not effectively be transformed to mannitol due to a lack of osmotolerance. The strain produced no other polyols such as glycerol and sorbitol as by-products. Yeast extract was the best nitrogen source and high levels of inorganic phosphate up to 10 g/L promoted mannitol formation. Any mineral ions and salts did not play important role in both cell growth and mannitol production. Nicotinic acid enhanced mannitol production by 16%. The optimum culture temperature and initial pH were $35^{\circ}C$ and 6, respectively.
