Lactic acid bacteria (LAB), belonging to the Firmicutes phylum, lack heme biosynthesis and, thus, are characterized as fermentative and catalase-negative organisms. To verify the hypothesis that heme-rich-nutrients might compensate the heme-biosynthesis incapability of non-respiratory LAB in animal gut, a heme-rich-nutrient was fed to a dog and its fecal microbiome was analyzed. Firmicutes abundance in the feces from the heme-rich-nutrient-fed dog was 99%, compared to 92% in the control dog. To clarify the reason of increased Firmicutes abundance in the feces from the heme-rich-nutrient-fed dog, Lacobacillus gasseri were used as model anerobic LAB to study a purified heme (hemin). The anaerobic growth of L. gasseri in the medium with 25 µM hemin supplementation was faster than that in the medium without hemin, while the growth in the 50 µM hemin-supplemented medium did not vary. Cellular activities of the cytochrome bd complex were 1.55 ± 0.19, 2.11 ± 0.14, and 2.20 ± 0.08 U/gcell in the cells from 0, 25, and 50 µM hemin-supplemented medium, while intracellular ATP concentrations were 7.90 ± 1.12, 11.95 ± 0.68, and 12.56 ± 0.58 µmol_ATP/g_cell, respectively. The ROS-scavenging activities of the L. gasseri cytosol from 25 µM and 50 µM hemin-supplemented medium were 68% and 82% greater than those of the cytosol from no hemin supplemented-medium, respectively. These findings indicate that external hemin could compensate the heme-biosynthesis incapability of L. gasseri by increasing the cytosolic ROS-scavenging and extra ATP generation, possibly through increasing the electron transfer. Increase in the number of anaerobic bacteria in heme-rich-nutrient-fed animal gut is discussed based on the results.

상온조건($25^{\circ}C$)에서 하수슬러지처리를 위한 생물전기화학 혐기성소화조의 성능에 미치는 제2철 이온($Fe^{+3}$)의 영향을 연구하였다. 생물전기화학 혐기성소화조를 상온에서 운전하였을 때 pH, 알카리도, COD 및 VFAs 등의 상태변수들은 안정하였으며, VS 제거율과 비메탄발생율은 각각 65.9% 및 370 mL/L/d이었다. 생물전기화학 혐기성소화조에 제2철 이온(200 ppm)을 주입한 후 상태변수들의 안정도는 더욱 향상되었으며, VS 제거율 및 비메탄발생량은 각각 69.8%, 396 mL/L/d로 증가하였다. 그러나, 제2철 이온을 주입 이후에 바이오가스의 메탄함량은 76.6%로 주입 이전의 77.3%에서 비하여 약간 감소하였다. 부유슬러지의 미생물 군집을 변화를 분석한 결과 공생 혐기성미생물(Cloacamonas) 및 가수분해균(Saprospiraceae, Ottowia pentelensis) 등의 우점균의 비율이 제2철 이온의 주입으로 증가하였다. 이것은 철이온의 주입으로 부유혐기성미생물(planktonic anaerobic bacteria, PAB)의 활성이 증가하였음을 나타낸다. 제2철 이온은 상온조건에서 하수슬러지처리를 위한생물전기화학 혐기성소화조의 성능을 향상시킨다.

This study was conducted to find the effect of electron acceptors on the formation of granular sludge by using four different types of electron acceptors. The phosphorous uptake, denitrification, and sulfate reduction in anoxic modes were simultaneously occured because of the presence of the polyphosphate accumultating organism(PAO) that utilize nitrate and sulfate as an electron acceptor in the anoxic zone. Denitrirying phosphorous removal bacteria(DPB) was enriched under anaerobic/anoxic/aerobic condition with a nitrate as an electron acceptor, and desulfating phosphorous removal bacteria(DSPB) was enriched under anaerobic/anoxic/aerobic condition with a sulfate as an electron acceptor. Polyphosphate accumulating organism(PAO) were enriched in the anaerobic/aerobic SBR. PAO took up acetate faster than DPB and DSPB during the aerobic phase. The sludge with nitrate and sulfate as an electron acceptors grew as a granules which possessed high activity and good settleability. In the anaerobic/aerobic modes, typical floccular growth was observed. In the result of bench-scale experiment, simultaneous reactions of phosphorus uptake, denitrification and sulfate reduction were observed under anoxic condition with nitrate and sulfate as an electron acceptors. These results demonstrated that the anaerobic/anoxic modes with nitrate and sulfate as an electron acceptors played an important role in the formation of the sludge granulation.

Laboratory experiments were conducted using pure cultures of Acinetobacter under an-aerobic/aerobic cyclic conditions to explain the release and uptake of soluble phosphate in an activated sludge process showing enhanced biological phosphate removal (EBPR). Under anaerobic/aerobic cyclic conditions in a Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR), COD uptake concurrent with soluble phosphate release by Acinetobacter was not significant during the anaerobic periods, indicating that EBPR would not be established in pure cultures. However Acinetobacter cells accumulated higher phosphate content (5.2%) in SBR than that obtained (4.3%) from batch experiments. These results suggest that Acinetobacter sp. may not follow the proposed pattern of behavior of poly-P bacteria in EBPR activated sludge Plants.

본 연구는 꽃사슴과 Holstein 젖소의 반추위와 대장에 서식하는 미생물중 섬유소 분해력이 강한 혐기성 박테리아를 순수 분리하여 분리된 미생물들을 동정하고 이들 미생물들의 효소 특성을 구명하고자 수행되었다. 배지의 종류에 관계없이 젖소에서 분리된 박테리아가 꽃사슴에서 분리된 미생물에 비하여 섬유소 분해효소 활력이 우수하였고 탄소 공급원의 종류에 의해 섬유소 분해 효소의 활력에 영향을 미쳤으며 특히, cellulose 단독 공급시 보다 starch, glucose와 cellobiose를 복합한 탄소 공급원을 제공시 일반적으로 높은 효소의 활력을 나타내었다. API kit를 이용한 생화학 및 당발효 시험 결과 알려진 강력한 섬유소 분해 박테리아는 동정되지 않았고 대부분의 박테리아가 Peptostreptococcus spp., Bifidobacterium spp., Prevotela ruminicola/buccae, Clostridium beijer/butyricum 및 Streptococcus intemedis로 동정되었다. 분리된 균들의 다당류 및 단당류를 분해할 수 있는 가수분해 효소인 Avicelase, xylanase, β-D-glucosidase, α-L-arabino- furanosidase 및 β-xylosidase의 효소활력은 이용하는 배지조성 특히 탄소 공급원의 종류에 의하여 효소의 활력에 영향을 미치며 가수분해 효소의 종류에 따라 각 분리된 균주들마다의 다른 분포를 나타내었다. 결론적으로 분리된 혐기성 박테리아들이 공급되는 탄수화물 기질의 종류에 따라 효소의 활력에 변화를 일으켰고 이것은 기질에 따른 박테리아의 효소생산 특이성과 성장률의 변화에서 기인하였기 때문이다.

Clostridium butyricum, Lactobacillus amylophillus, Lactobacillus amylovorus, Lactobacillus acidophillus, AI-9 produced hydrogen and /or organic acids using glucose, lactose and starch at the anaerobic culture conditions. Cl. butyricum NCIB 9576 evolved 1,700 ml H2/L-culture broth and accumulated butyric acid, acetic acid, propionic acid and ethanol in its culture broth when lactose was used as a carbon source during 24 hrs of fermentation. L. amylovorus ATCC 33620 accumulated lactic and acetic acids and some reducing sugars when starch was used as a carbon source without hydrogen production. Instead of starch as a carbon source, L. amylovorus ATCC 33620 produced lactic acid from algal biomass during fermentation and the acid-heat or freeze-thaw pretreatment of algal biomass accelerate the lactic acid fermentation.

In order to search for new antibiotics from anaerobic bacteria, a large number of samples from domestic soil were collected and processed by apropriate methods. A potential strain, Streptococcus sp. An-21-1, was found to produce antimicrobial compounds. The Results were as follows; 1. During fermentation, the bacteria grew rapidly up to 20hr, thereafter entered the death phase. The optimal temperature and pH for the bacterial growth were $37^{\circ}C$ and pH 7.0, respectively. 2. Antibiotics were purified from culture broth by solvent extraction, silica gel column chromatography and Sepadex L.H 20 column. 3. Physicochemical properties of Ap-1 and Ap-2 were similar ; Their melting points were between $234-237^{\circ}C$. Color reactions of ninhydrin, 2,7-dichlorofluorescein, 4-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde, Dragendroffs reagent and 20% $H_2SO_4$, were positive. Therefore, we assumed that these antibiotics have amine group, immine group, alkaloid, and lipid components. These were stable to heat. UV spectrophotometry showed two peaks at 210 nm and 260 nm. From above results, we assumed these antibiotics are belong to the peptide antibiotic family.

ANAMMOX (Anaerobic ammonium oxidation) reactor, which was cultivated ANAMMOX bacteria in mesophilic condition ($35^{\circ}C$), was operated to investigate the effects of temperature. In $20{\sim}30^{\circ}C$ of operation condition, which was assumed as field-temperature, total N removal and $NH_4-N$ removal rate were declined from about 2.50 and $1.27kg\;N/{m^3}_{reactor}-day$ (0.06 and 0.03 kg N/kgVSS/day) to 1.62 and $0.41kg\;N/{m^3}_{reactor}-day$ (0.04 and 0.01 kg N/kgVSS/day), In this range of temperature, ANAMMOX had very low activities but acid fermentation bacteria and denitrifiers, which were competitors of substrates, had high activities relatively. Though operation temperature was higher than inhibition condition for two months, ANAMMOX activities could not been recovered once they were inhibited by low temperature. This fact was resulted from very slow doubling time of ANAMMOX bacteria. This study shows that maintenance device of optimal temperature is necessary required in field application of ANAMMOX.

An anaerobic photosynthetic treatment process utilizing purple non-sulfur photosynthetic bacteria (PNSB) was applied to the recovery of organic carbon from food processing wastewater. PNSB cells, by-product from the treatment, have high nutrition such as proteins and vitamins which are a good alternative for fish feed. Effects of light source on performance of anaerobic photosynthetic process were investigated in this study. Two bench-scale photo-bioreactors were lighted with infrared light emitting diodes (LEDs) and tungsten lamps covered with infrared transmitting filter, respectively, aiming to supply infrared light for photosynthetic bacteria growth. The photo-bioreactors were operated to treat noodle-processing wastewater for 323 days. Hydraulic retention time (HRT) was set as 6 days. Organic removals in the photo-bioreactor lighted with infrared LEDs (91%-95%) was found higher than those in photo-bioreactor with tungsten lamps with filter (79%-83%). Biomass production in a 150 L bench-scale photo-bioreactor was comparable to a 8 L small-scale photo-bioreactor in previous study, due to improvement of light supply efficiency. Application of infrared LEDs could achieve higher treatment performance with advantages in energy efficiency and wavelength specifity.

Chemical production by anaerobic bacterial fermentations was an important microbiological topic in the past due to both fundamental and applied aspects related to acetone-butanol production prior to its replacement by chemical synthetic routes from petroleum. Presently, the depletion and price-escalation of petroleum has regenerated a great interest in the potential of anaerobic bacteria to transform the renewable resouces such as biomass and wastes into chemical feed-stocks and fuels.
