The plant Indigofera aspalathoides are used by a large number of tribes in India for the treatment of various hepatic disorder. The methanol extract of Indigofera aspalathoides (MEIA) was evaluated for its effect on carbontetrachloride $(CCl_{4})$ induced liver damage. Biochemical parameters such as serum glutamine oxaloacetate trasaminase (SGOT), serum glutamine pyruvate transaminase (SGPT), serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP), total serum protein (TP), thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBRS) and glutathione content of the liver were estimated to assess liver function and metabolism. Biochemical observations suggest that methanol extract of Indigofera aspalathoides (MEIA) significantly restored the liver function and metabolism towards normal condition in $CCl_{4}$-induced hepatic damage.

Objectives: The marker substances of cultivated wild ginseng pharmacopuncture that may not be detected during the process of steaming remain controversial. We developed a combined cultivated wild ginseng pharmacopuncture that contains all the marker substances. The aim of this experiment was to investigate the marker substances and test the toxicity of the combined cultivated wild ginseng pharmacopuncture. Methods: The marker substances were detected using HPLC. Intravenous injection toxicity studies were conducted at Medvill, an authorized institution for non-clinical studies, under the regulations of Good Laboratory Practice. We observed survival rates, abnormal behaviors, weight changes, gross findings in autopsy, blood biochemical properties, and histological abnormalities of organs such as the liver and kidney. Results: HPLC data showed that ginsenosides Rg1, Rb1, and Rg3 were detected at concentrations of 19.29, 47.64, and 3.02 μ g /ml, respectively. Administration of combined cultivated wild ginseng pharmacopuncture resulted in no dead animals or significant toxicological changes. Conclusions: The combined cultivated wild ginseng pharmacopuncture contains all the marker substances and is a relatively safe treatment medium. Further studies should be conducted to confirm the present findings.

폐수를 재이용하기 위한 고도처리 시스템으로서 분리막 생물반응조(Membrane Bioreactor, MBR)는 기존의 활성슬러지 공정(Activated Sludge Process, ASP)에 비하여 많은 장점을 가지고 있다. 도시 하수 중에 포함된 유기물과 영양염류를 동시에 제거하기 위하여 침지형 정밀여과(Microfiltration, MF) 막을 이용한 무산소/호기(Anoxic/Oxic, A/O)형 MBR에서 투과플럭스를 $10.2L/m^2{\cdot}h$로 일정하게 유지하면서 고형물 체류시간(Solids Retention Time, SRT) 변화에 따른 막 여과 특성을 조사하였다. 실험 결과, SRT를 증가시킬수록 체외고분자물질(Extracellular Polymeric Substances, EPS)내 단백질/탄수화물(Protein/Carbohydrate, P/C) 비가 높아져서 막 오염이 빠르게 진행되었다. A/O MBR에 RO막을 결합한 A/O MBR-RO 공정을 폐수의 고도처리에 적용하고자 하였으며, 성능평가를 위해 A/O MBR-RO 공정과 기존의 활성슬러지 공정에 MF와 RO막을 결합한 ASP-MF-RO 공정의 유기물 및 영양염류 제거율을 비교하였다. 실험 결과 A/O MBR-RO 공정이 ASP-MF-RO 공정보다 더 우수한 처리효율을 나타내었다.

Diatom growth is affected by associated bacteria that probably provide useful substances like vitamins. In the present study, we analysed the variation of vitamins $B_1$, $B_7$ and $B_{12}$ on the growth stages of the marine diatom Cyclotella meneghiniana and assessed putative vitamin-producing bacteria (e.g., ${\alpha}$- and ${\gamma}$-proteobacteria). HPLC analysis showed that total amounts of vitamins $B_1$ and $B_{12}$ decreased with cell growth, whereas vitamin $B_7$ increased gradually on the growth stages. $B_1$ and $B_{12}$ measured 0.5% and 0.18% at the stationary phase, following 0.25% and 0.72% at the lag phase. They considerably increased to 0.75% and 0.77% at the death stage. 16S pyrosequencing showed relatively high ratios of ${\alpha}$- and ${\gamma}$-proteobacteria in all the growth stages of the C. meneghiniana. In addition, we detected previously-reported vitamin-producing bacteria, such as Marinobacter, in high numbers. The species was dorminant in the lag (relative abundance 72%) and exponetial (72%) stages, whareas it decreased in the stationary (49%) and death (48%) stages. These results suggest that vitamins $B_1$ or $B_{12}$ may be necesaary for diatom growth and that associated bacteria, including Marinobacter, may produce these substances for the cell growth of C. meneghiniana.

A potential biocontrol bacterium, YB-70 was isolated from a rhizosphere in suppressive soil and identified as a strain of Bacillus subtilis. In several biochemical and in vitro antibiosis tests on Fusarium solani with the culture filterates from B. subtilis YB-70, we found that antifungal mechanism of B. subtilis YB-70 was mediated by antibiotic substances produced from the bacterium. These antifungal substances were appeared to be hear-resistant, micromolecular, and ethy alcohol soluble. Antifungal agents produced by B. subtilis YB-70 showed strong inhibified against root-rotting fungi F. solani in in vivo pot test. An antifungal substance. YBS-1s, was purified from the culture broth of B. subtilis YB-70 by isoelectronic precipitation, silica gel column chromatography and Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography analysis by Fab-MASS, $^{1}$H-NMR, $^{13}$C-NMR, DEPT, and amino acid analyzer revealed that the YBS-1A was a peptide antibiotics of iturin class containing seven amino acids from five different groups, and the other(YBS-1B) was an analogue of iturin group composed of 11 amino acids with larher molecular weight of about 1, 500 dalton, which was lager than that of iturin A.

The selective plugging strategy of Microbial Enhanced Oil Recovery (MEOR) involves the use of microbes that grow and produce exopolymeric substances, which block the high permeability zones of an oil reservoir, thus allowing the water to flow through the low permeability zones leading to increase in oil recovery. Bacillus licheniformis TT33, a hot water spring isolate, is facultatively anaerobic, halotolerant, and thermotolerant. It produces EPS as well as biosurfactant and has a biofilm-forming ability. The viscosity of its cell-free supernatant is $120\;mPa{\cdot}s$ at $28^{\circ}C$. Its purified EPS contained 26% carbohydrate and 3% protein. Its biosurfactant reduced the surface tension of water from 72 to 34 mN/m. This strain gave $27.7{\pm}3.5%$ oil recovery in a sand pack column. Environmental scanning electron microscopy analysis showed bacterial growth and biofilm formation in the sand pack. Biochemical tests and Amplified Ribosomal DNA Restriction Analysis confirmed that the oil recovery obtained in the sand pack column was due to Bacillus licheniformis TT33.

A general overview of the lipid peroxidation and its nutritional significance are presented ,with emphasis on the reaction mechaisms, peroxidized products, further interaction and nutritional/biological deterioration in a series of oxidative process. Overall mechanism with various factors and elements for initiation , propagation and termination of free radical reaction is reviewed and the primary /secondary products of peroxidized lipids are defined. Since these products are potentially reactive substances that can cause deterioration of proteins /amino acids and vitamins (carotene, tocopherols and ascorbic acid etc), mechanism and actual damages of their deterioration in some foods and biological models are outlined. Especially , chemical changes caused by interaction of peroxidized products (related hydroperoxides, radicals and malonaldehye etc) and protein are emphasized here. And also, the detailed mechanisms on radical scavenging of the these vitamins which are the most prominent natural antioxidants are presented . Additionally , the possible roles of peroxidicaed lipids and their secondary products in the process of aging an carcinogenesis are briefly discussed . However, it is important to not that more detailed and integrated studies on the reaction kinetics, energetics of peroxidation, their decomposed products , biochemical interaction potential damaging/aging / carcinogenic effects, protection from their oxidative spoilage and novel antioxidants in food and heterogeneous biological systems will be essential in order to assessing the implication of lipid peroxidation to human nutrition and health.
