경기도와 충청도 일대의 가금류 처리공장과 폐기물 처리장 부근 토양으로부터 protease 활성이 높은 균주를 분리한 후 그 중 keratinase 활성이 높은 1균주를 최종 선별하여 동정하고 효소생산을 위한 최적 배양조건을 검토한 결과는 다음과 같다. 선별된 균주는 형태학적, 생화학적 특성을 조사한 결과 Bacillus 속으로 판명되었으며, 편의상 Bacillus sp. SH-517로 명명하여 사용하였다. Bacillus sp. SH-517에 의한 keratinase 생성 최적 조건을 검토하였는데, 최적 배지 조성은 탄소원으로 chicken feather 2.0%, 유기질소원으로 beef extract 0.5%, 무기질원소원으로 $KNO_3$ 0.5%, 무기염으로 KCl 0.06%, NaCl 0.05%, $KH_2PO_4$ 0.04%. $K_2HPO_4$ 0.03%이었고 그리고 생육인자로 yeast extract 0.01%이였다. 진탕배양 시(180 rpm/min), 최적 온도와 배지의 pH는 각각 $40^{\circ}C$, 8.5로 나타났으며, 위와 같은 최적 조건 하에서 keratinase의 최대 활성은 42시간 만에 125 units/ml/min이었다.

The objective of this study was to assess the biofouling characteristics of the Bacillus biofilm formed on reverse osmosis (RO) membranes. For the study, a sporogenic Bacillus sp. was isolated from the seawater intake to a RO process, with two distinct sets of experiments performed to grow the Bacillus biofilm on the RO membrane using a lab-scale crossflow membrane test unit. Two operational feds were used, 9 L sterile-filtered seawater and 109 Bacillus cells, with flow rates of 1 L/min, and a constant 800 psi-pressure and pH 7.6. From the results, the membrane with more fouling, in which the observed permeate flux decreased to 33% of its initial value, showed about 10 and 100 times greater extracellular polymeric substances and spoOA genes expressions, respectively, than the those of the less fouled membrane (flux declined to 20% of its initial value). Interestingly; however, the number of culturable Bacillus sp. in the more fouled membrane was about 10 times less than that of the less fouled membrane. This indicated that while the number of Bacillus had less relevance with respect to the extent of biofouling, the activation of the genes of interest, which is initiative of biofilm development, had a more positive effect on biofouling than the mass of an individual Bacillus bacterium.

우리 나라의 전통 대두발효식품인 된장으로부터 혈전용해능을 가진 미생물을 분리하였다. 그 중 5종류의 균주를 Bergey's manual of systematic bacteriology에 의거하여 동정한 결과 Bacillus sp. 균주로 밝혀졌다. 분리된 Bacillus 속 미생물을 효소 유도배지에서 배양한 결과 B. amyloliquefaciens는 2.46 plasmin unit/ml, B pantothenticus는 3.82 plasmin unit/ml 의 혈전용해능을 가지고 있었고, B. subtilis는 4.94 plasmin unti/ml의 높은 혈전용해효소 생산능을 보여주었다. 분리 균주에 의하여 생산된 세포외 단백질을 SDS-PAGE와 reverse fibrin zymogram 활성측정법에 의해 확인한 결과 각 균주별로 서로 다른 혈전용해효소가 생산되었음을 확인하였다.

질산이온은 식물체의 주된 영양분중의 하나이며, 다수확을 위하여 자주 과량이 시용되고 있다. 이것은 토양중 질산이온이 집적되어 염류장애의 주된 이유가 되며, 유리 및 비닐 온실의 토양에서 심각한 문제가 될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 축산농가의 배수구 주위 젖은 토양으로 부터 6가지 미생물을 분리하였으며, 그들의 질산이온 흡수 활성을 측정하였다. 이 미생물들은 1,000-3,000 ppm (10-50 mM) 수준의 질산이온을 제거할 수 있었으며, 특히 PCE3 균주는 4,000 ppm으로 가장 높은 활성을 보였다. 이 균주들을 동정하기 위하여, 16S rRNA 유전자 서열을 결정하고 분석하였다. 이들 균주중 PCE3 균주는 Bacillus 속으로 확인되었다. 균주의 성장과 질산이온 흡수활성을 측정하였을 때, $37^{\circ}C$와 pH 7-9 범위에서 최대 값을 보였다. Bacillus sp. PCE3 균주는 배지의 질산이온 농도에 따라 40-60 mM (2,500-3,700 ppm)의 질산이온을 제거할 수 있었다. 그러므로, Bacillus sp. PCE3 균주는 질산이온이 집적한 시설원예 토양에서 질산이온 제거에 유용하게 이용될 수 있을 것이다.

An ${\alpha}-glucosidase$ gene (aglA) from thermophilic Bacillus sp. DG0303 was cloned, sequenced, and expressed in Escherichia coli. The aglA was localized to the 2.1-kb PvuI-XmnI region within the 5.9-kb DNA insert of the gybrid plasmid pAG1. The gene consisted of an open reading frame of 1,686 bp with an unusual GTG initiation codon and TGA termination codon. The amino acid sequence deduced from the nucleotide sequence predicted a protein of 562 amino acid residues with a M, of 66,551 dalton. A comparative amino acid sequence analysis revealed that DG0303 ${\alpha}-glucosidase$ is related to bacillary oligo-1, 6-glucosidases. The Bacillus sp. DG0303 ${\alpha}-glucosidase$ showed a high sequence identity (36-59%) to the B. flavocaldarius, B. cereus, and B. thermoglucosidasius oligo-1, 6-glucosidases. The number of prolines in theses four ${\alpha}-glucosidases. was observed to increase with increasing thermostability of these enzymes. The cloned ${\alpha}-glucosidase was purified from E. coli $DH5{\alpha}$ bearing pAG1 and characterized. The recombinant enzyme was identical with the native enzyme in its optimum pH and in its molecular mass, estimated by sodium dodecy1 sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The temperature optimum of the cloned ${\alpha}-glucosidase$ was lower than that of the native enzyme.

A new technology for advanced wastewater treatment was developed using a modified Rotating Biological Contactor (RBC) process, named as Rotating Activated Bacillus Contactor (RABC) process that utilizes Bacillus sp., the facultatively anaerobic or activated microaerophilic bacteria on multiple-stage reticular rotating carriers, as a predominant species. The RABC process for a municipal wastewater with relatively low concentrations of organics, nitrogen, and phosphorus showed stable and high removal efficiencies, less than $BOD_5$ 10 mg/L, T-N 15 mg/L, and T-P 1.5 mg/L in final effluent. The performance load of RABC process was shown to be $1.23kg{\cdot}BOD/m^2{\cdot}day$ for the first stage (average $0.31kg{\cdot}BOD/m^2{\cdot}day$ for the total stages) based on both removed BOD and converted disc area corresponding to the reticular one. The sludge produced in the RABC process is characterized by low generation rate (about $0.18kg{\cdot}MLSS/kg{\cdot}BOD$) and excellent settleability. The number ratio of Bacillus ($2.4{\times}10^6CFU/ml$) to heterotrophic bacteria ($3.6{\times}10^7CFU/ml$) inhabiting in the biofilms of the RABC process was 6.7 %, indicating that Bacillus sp. was a predominant species in the biofilms. The RABC process with reticular rotating carriers showed its excellent performance for the advanced wastewater treatment without any offensive odor problem due to organic overloading.

A bacterial strain was screened and identified from sea sediments in Tongyeong coastal area in order to obtain proteases or peptidase cleaving C-terminal of glutamic acid. Strain TS0611, which showed the highest activity from 5 isolated protease producing strains, was selected and its properties investigated. Strain TS0611 was a gram-positive rod, $1.2\;{\mu}m$ in cell length, catalase positive, motility-positive, melanin-negative and grew at 15~$50^{\circ}C$, and hydrolyzed gelatin and casein. This strain was identified as Bacillus thuringiensis or Bacillus cereus based on results from the API system(API 50 CHB) which examined saccharides properties, fatty acid composition of cell wall, and 16S rRNA gene sequence.

Emerging of antibiotic resistance of pathogenic bacteria is now a very serious problem in the clinics to treat the diseases, which have been easy to cure by antibiotic treatments before. Unfortunately, antibiotics developed till now are not effective any more against the resistant bacteria. Lots of efforts to discover new antibiotics having novel and unique structures and functions are really urgent and undergoing in the whole world. In this study, we tried to screen and isolate Same unique bacterial strains producing antibacterial substances from the sea water, which is the poor environment for bacteria 10 make their growing. Three bacterial strains among 916 strains isolated showed inhibition clear zone on the marine agar plate growing pathogenic bacteria including Acinetobacter baumannii, Edwardsiella tarda, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella enterica. One of them, which was identified as Bacillus sp. DH-9 from 16S rRNA gene analysis, showed especially considerable antibacterial activity against S. aureus which is notorious for methicillin resistant S. aureus (MRSA). The growth of S. aureus was totally inhibited when the supernatant of Bacillus sp. DH-9 culture was treated on.
