The GacS/GacA system in the root colonizer Pseudomonas chlororaphis O6 is a key regulatory system of many traits relevant to the plant probiotic nature of this bacterium. The work in this paper elucidates proteins using proteomics approach in P. chlororaphis O6 under the control of the cytoplasmic regulatory protein, GacA. A gacA mutant of P. chlororaphis O6 showed loss in production of phenazines, acyl homoserine lactones, hydrogen cyanide, and protease, changes that were associated with reduced in vitro antifungal activity against plant fungal pathogens. Production of iron-chelating siderophore was significantly enhanced in the gacA mutant, also paralleling changes in a gacS mutant. However, proteomic analysis revealed proteins (13 downregulated and 7 upregulated proteins in the mutant compared to parental strain) under GacA control that were not apparent by a proteomic study of a gacS mutant. The putative identity of the downregulated proteins suggested that a gacA mutant would have altered transport potentials. Notable would be a predicted loss of type-VI secretion and PEP-dependent transport. Study of mutants of these GacA-regulated proteins will indicate further the features required for probiotic potential in this rhizobacterium.

Perfluorooctanoic acid(PFOA) was one of widely used per- and poly substances(PFAS) in the industrial field and its concentration in the surface and groundwater was found with relatively high concentration compared to other PFAS. Since various processes have been introduced to remove the PFOA, adsorption using GAC is well known as a useful and effective process in water and wastewater treatment. Surface modification for GAC was carried out using Cu and Fe to enhance the adsorption capacity and four different adsorbents, such as GAC-Cu, GAC-Fe, GAC-Cu(OH)₂, GAC-Fe(OH)₃ were prepared and compared with GAC. According to SEM-EDS, the increase of Cu or Fe was confirmed after surface modification and higher weight was observed for Cu and Fe hydroxide(GAC-Cu(OH)₂ and GAC-Fe(OH)₃, respectively). BET analysis showed that the surface modification reduced specific surface area and total pore volumes. The highest removal efficiency(71.4%) was obtained in GAC-Cu which is improved by 17.9% whereas the use of Fe showed lower removal efficiency compared to GAC. PFOA removal was decreased with increase of solution pH indicating electrostatic interaction governs at low pH and its effect was decreased when the point of zero charges(pzc) was negatively increased with an increase of pH. The enhanced removal of PFOA was clearly observed in solution pH 7, confirming the Cu in the surface of GAC plays a role on the PFOA adsorption. The maximum uptake was calculated as 257 and 345 ㎍/g for GAC and GAC-Cu using Langmuir isotherm. 40% and 80% of removal were accomplished within 1 h and 48 h. According to R², only the linear pseudo-second-order(pso) kinetic model showed 0.98 whereas the others obtained less than 0.870.

There are more than two hundred arbitral institutions in China. Some of them are active in the development of online arbitration system, such as CIETAC and Guangzhou Arbitration Commission(GAC). GAC, founded in 1995, is the second largest arbitral institution in China which accepts more than 4,000 cases a year. With extensive experiences in arbitration, GAC has conducted online arbitration procedures since 2007. Moreover it opened the whole process of online hearing to the public through the Internet. With this background, this article aims to support the development of online arbitration through the analysis of GAC practices. To meet the purpose, status quo, rules and procedure of online arbitration of GAC are outlined, followed by introducing nine cases conducted by GAC. The scope of GAC online arbitration is comparatively narrow and the institution is still under the government supervision. But the practices of GAC proved that online arbitration is fully admissible and effective under the current legal framework.

GacS and GacA proteins form a two component signal transduction system in bacteria. Here, Tn5 transposon gacS and gacA (Gac) mutants of Pseudomonas sp. KL28, an alkylphenol degrader, were isolated by selecting for smooth colonies of strain KL28. The mutants exhibited reduced ability to migrate on a solid surface. This surface motility does not require the action of flagella unlike the well-studied swarming motility of other Pseudomonas sp. The Gac mutants also showed reduced levels of biofilm and pellicle formation in liquid culture. In addition, compared to the wild type KL28 strain, these mutants were more resistant to high concentrations of m-cresol but were more sensitive to $H_2O_2$, which are characteristics that they share with an rpoS mutant. These results indicate that the Gac regulatory cascade in strain KL28 positively controls wrinkling morphology, biofilm formation, surface translocation and $H_2O_2$ resistance, which are important traits for its capacity to survive in particular niches.

Pollutants removal and disinfection effect of secondary effluent from final settling tank of sewage treatment plant of W city were investigated in Loop Reactor using ordinary granular activated carbon(GAC) and GAC coated with silver nanoparticles. The results showed that the removal efficiency of $COD_{Mn}$, T-N and T-P using GAC with silver nanoparticles were higher than using the ordinary GAC. The removal efficiency of T-P using GAC with silver nanoparticles is 45.4% and that of T-P using ordinary GAC is 30.9% in the same case of the input amount of 20 g/L of GAC. The total califorms is reduced according to increasing input amount of GAC with silver nanoparticles and ordinary GAC. The disinfection efficiency of total coliforms in case of GAC with silver nanoparticles is much higher than that in case of ordinary GAC. For all experiments using the silver nanoparticles, the total coliforms is under 26 cfu/mL and this shows very excellent disinfection effect.

본 연구의 목적은 파일롯 규모의 입상활성탄지에서 흡착과 생물학적 제거 기작이 진행되는 장기간의 운전동안 전처리공정으로서 오존처리의 영향을 평가하는 것이다. 공정별로 용존 또는 생분해성 유기물질의 제거, DOM의 성상과 특성변화와 미생물의 증식의 변화를 평가하였다. 오존공정이 존재하는 입상활성탄 공정(전오존처리+활성탄 여과지; Pre O$_3$ + F/A, 후오존처리 + 활성탄 흡착지; Post O$_3$ + GAC)은 오존의 위치(전오존 후오존)에 상관없이 입상활성탄 단독공정(활성탄 여과지; F/A, 활성탄 흡착지; GAC)에 비해 생물학적 제거능이 활성화된 장기간 운영 후에 DOC, 친수성 용존유기물(HPI), BDOC와 AOC의 제거율이 10$\sim$20% 정도로 높았다. 오존공정은 전반적인 DOC 제거에는 큰 영향을 주지는 못했지만, AOC를 약 20% 정도로 감소시켜 관로내 미생물의 재증식을 저감하는데 기여할 것으로 생각된다. 활성탄 여재에 고정된 미생물의 생체량인 Biomass는 전처리로서 오존처리의 유.무에 상관없이 공정별로 큰 차이를 보이지 않은 반면에, 유출수에서의 HPC는 F/A나 GAC에 비해 Post O$_3$ + GAC에서 매우 낮았다.

본 연구는 CSOs의 고도처리를 목적으로 다단 횡류식 여과와 GAC 흡착조의 융합공정의 운영에서 GAC 흡착조의 유기물 처리 특성을 조사하고 설계 파과점에 도달한 GAC를 전기화학적 방법을 통한 재생효율을 평가하는 것이다. 여과공정은 부유물질은 용이하게 제거되지만 용존 유기물이 제거되지 않아 CSOs의 고도처리를 위해서는 용존유기물질의 제거능이 추가로 필요하다. 일반적으로 GAC 흡착은 정수처리 공정이나 하수의 3차 처리공정과 같은 저농도 유기물 조건에서 적용되어왔고 하수나 CSOs와 같이 유기물 농도가 높은 조건에서는 거의 적용이 되지 않았기에 본 연구에서 GAC를 이용한 CSOs 처리는 흥미로운 경험을 제공할 것이다. 본 연구는 유입 유기물 강도에 따른 GAC의 연속 운전 및 파과 특성을 조사하고 사용된 GAC를 전기화학적 재생을 적용하였으며, 이때 전압강도 및 전해액이 종류에 따른 흡착 유기물의 탈착 특성을 조사하였고 재생 후 GAC의 재흡착실험을 통해서 재생효율을 평가하였다. GAC 연속 운전결과 파과기간은 고농도 조건에서 21일, 중농도에서 28일 그리고 저농도에서 32일을 나타내었다. 전기분해를 통한 흡착 유기물의 탈착은 전기 분해 조건에 따라 188~609 mgCOD/L까지 발생하였고 전해액 종류의 영향은 NaOH가 H₂O₂보다 조금 우수한 탈착 특성을 나타냈다.

본 연구에서는 금속침적처리에 의한 입상활성탄의 페놀흡착에 관하여 고찰하였다. 금속침적 용액으로는 질산코발트와 질산아연용액을 사용하였다. 77K에서의 질소 흡탈착 특성을 통한 비표면적 및 포어 구조를 측정하였다. 페놀 흡착량 및 흡착속도는 분광광도계를 이용하여 측정하였다. 요오드흡착 용량은 금속 침적 처리되지 않은 활성탄보다 코발트 금속이 침적된 코발트침적 활성탄이 크게 흡착됨을 알 수 있다. 코발트 침적 활성탄은 중기공이 발달되었고, 이것은 메틸렌블루와 같은 고분자 물질의 흡착에 다른 흡착제보다 효과적이다. 페놀 흡착용량은 금속 침적활성탄의 금속 침적에 따른 비표면적 감소에도 불구하고 Co-GAC>Zn-GAC>R-GAC 순서로 측정되었다.

This study was carried out to examine effect of post-chlorine dosage reduction by ozonation and GAC process in the field plant for 3years in the "G" water purification plant in Seoul. And it is to compare GAC with BAC process in removal effects of TOC, THMs, THMFP, $UV_{254}$. As a result, chlorine dosage of ozonation and GAC(=BAC) is less demand than GAC. Seasonal reduction of chlorine demand is from about 37% to 59% with BAC, and from 24 to 46% with GAC. Higher reduction in BAC could be achieved. The efficiency of chlorine demand reduction with ozonation was depending on the organic carbon removal. $UV_{254}$ concentration is less about 0.13~0.74L/mg.m in BAC than GAC. Therefore, the combination of ozonation and GAC was more effective in reducing post-chlorine than the single GAC. TOC was also monitored, and results show that a linear relationship between TOC and chlorine demand is appropriate under each treatment process. It means that removal of organic matter(TOC) from finished water is necessary to reduce post-chlorine dosage in clear well and to minimize order of chlorine in distribution systems.

과립활성탄(GAC)상에 고정된 세균에 의한 4chloro-2-methylphenoxyacetic acid (MCPA)의 분해가 유통 조건하의 컬럼반응조에서 연구되었다. GAC상에 생물막을 형성시키기 위한 접종으로서 M MCPA를 분해하는 세균의 혼합배양이 사용되었다. 접종하기 전에 GAC에 의한 MCPA의 흡착을 조사 하였으며 접종후 GAC상에 형성된 생물막을 주사전자 현미경으로 관찰하였다. MCPA 분해는 생물막이 형성된 GAC를 포함하는 컬럼반응조의 회분 및 연 속운전 조건하에서 조사되었다. 회분배양에서 MC P PA의 완전분해가 이루어졌다. 연속배양상태에서 분적 인 MCPA의 분해가 일어났으나 분해정도는 기질인 MCPA의 결럼반응조내로 유입속도에 의존 었다.
