본 연구에서는 미역을 이용하여 초고온 열산 가수분해, 효소 당화, 발효과정을 거쳐 아세톤, 부탄올, 에탄올을 생성하는 실험에 대해 진행하였다. 초고온 열산 가수분해에서의 최적 조건은 10%의 slurry, 270 mM의 황산, $160^{\circ}C$에서의 7.5분이었다. 초고온 열산 가수분해는 열처리 시간을 줄이고 적은 농도의 황산을 사용해도 더 많은 당과 적은 저해물질을 생성해 낸다는 장점이 있다. 효소 당화에서는 Viscozyme L (${\beta}-glucanase$, Novozymes)을 12 unit/ml으로 처리하는 것이 25.1 g/l로 가장 많은 단당을 생성했다. 발효에서는 C. acetobutylicum KCTC 1724이 비교적 낮은 pH 5.0에서 많은 아세톤, 부탄올, 에탄올을 생성하는 장점이 있었지만 mannitol을 모두 소비하지 못하는 단점이 있어 고농도의 mannitol 배지에 순치한 C. acetobutylicum KCTC 1724을 사용하여 발효를 진행하였다. 그 결과, 아세톤, 부탄올, 에탄올이 각각 0.99 g/l, 5.62 g/l, 2.44 g/l로 순치하지 않은 C. acetobutylicum KCTC 1724를 이용해 발효했을 때 보다 부탄올은 2.45 g/l, 에탄올은 1.10 g/l 증가했으며 수율($Y_{ABE}$)은 0.24에서 0.37로 증가했다.

Several CoA transferases from Clostridium beijerinckii, C. perfringens and Klebsiella pneumoniae were examined for biosynthesis of lactate-containing polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) in recombinant Escherichia coli XL1-Blue strain. The CB3819 gene and the CB4543 gene from C. beijerinckii, the pct gene from C. perfringens and the pct gene from K. pneumoniae, which encodes putative CoA transferase gene, respectively, was co-expressed with the Pseudomonas sp. MBEL 6-19 phaC1437 gene encoding engineered Pseudomonas sp. MBEL 6-19 PHA synthase 1 ($PhaC1_{Ps6-19}$) to examine its activity for the construction of key metabolic pathway to produce poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-lactate) [P(3HB-co-LA)]. The recombinant E. coli XL1-Blue expressing the phaC1437 gene and CB3819 gene synthesized poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) [P(3HB)] homopolymer to the P(3HB) content of 60.5 wt% when it was cultured in a chemically defined medium containing 20 g/L of glucose and 2 g/L of sodium 3-hydroxybutyrate. Expression of the phaC1437 gene and CB4543 gene in recombinant E. coli XL1-Blue also produced P(3HB) homopolymer to the P(3HB) content of 51.2 wt% in the same culture condition. Expression of the phaC1437 gene and the K. pneumoniae pct gene in recombinant E. coli XL1-Blue could not result in the production of PHAs in the same culture condition. However, the recombinant E. coli XL1-Blue expressing the phaC1437 gene and the C. perfringens gene could produce poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-lactate [P(86.4mol%3HB-co-13.7 mol%LA) up to the PHA content of 10.6 wt% in the same culture condition. Newly examined CoA transfereases in this study may be useful for the construction of engineered E. coli strains to produce PHA containing novel monomer such lactate.

The characteristics of $H_2$ production from livestock wastewater were investigated through an anaerobic acid forming process using Clostridium beijerinckii and the photosynthetic process using Rhodobacter sphaeroides. The submerged separation membrane was installed in the acid forming reactor, The photosynthetic process is composed of two reactors(photosynthetic reactor 1 and photosynthetic reactor 2) which is connected continually. The removal rate of COD and the production of volatile fatty acid(VFA) in the acid forming process were approximately 50% and 1000mg/L, respectively. The 70% of COD in the effluent of acid forming process was removed through the photosynthetic process. The production of $H_2$ in the photosynthetic reactor 1 and 2 was 50 and $25mLH_2/gVFA_{COD}$, respectively. The values of Y in acid forming reactor, photosynthetic reactor 1 and 2 was 0.2263, 0.0601 and 0.0393, respectively. The acetic acid and butyric acid produced in acid forming process were converted to $H_2$ by photosynthetic bacteria.
