UIW-10 mutant obtained by UV treatment using sulfur-oxidizing bacteria, Thiobacillus sp. IW was studied. The colony size of UIW-10 was found 2 $^{\sim}$ 3 times bigger in diameter than the parent colony on TAM medium. UIW-10 mutant growth was two times higher than parent strain at 6 h culture in liquid medium containing sulfides such as sulfur and sodium thiosulfate. Initial pH and temperature for the optimum growth of UIW-10 were 6.0 and $35-40^{\circ}C$, respectively. It was found that addition of 0.5% yeast extract and 0.5 to 2.0% tryptone as nitrogen sources and the constant agitation at 150 to 200 rpm had a positive effect and the growth of UIW-10 was increased.

The characteristics of floc formation of the iron(Fe) ions was studied for developing the process treating the acid mine drainage. The metal ions in aqueous solution oxidized with oxygen in air, which generated hydrogen ion and lowered the pH of the aqueous solution. The iron(Fe) ions were formed into flocs by the acid-base reaction with the added $Ca(OH)_2$ for the neutralizing the solution. There were several variables affecting the formation, size and color of floc; whether air was present or not, air feeding rate, oxidizing time, concentration of $Ca(OH)_2$, the acid-base reaction time of the $iron(Fe)-Ca(OH)_2$. For proper formation of the $iron(Fe)-Ca(OH)_2$ flocs and developing the floc treating system, the control variables mentioned above should be considered.

A study has been conducted numerically to investigate the lifted flat syngas flame structure of impinging jet flame configuration with the global strain rates in 10% hydrogen content. In this study, the effects of strain rate were major parameters on chemistry kinetics and flame structure at stagnation point. The numerical results were calculated by SPIN application of the CHEMKIN package. The strain rates were adjusted with Reynolds numbers of premixed syngas-air mixture. Different flame shapes were observed with different strain rates. As strain rate has increased, the flame temperature and axial velocity have been decreased due to the flame heat loss increment, and the OH radical reaction zones become narrower but each mole fractions are still constant. Also, the reversion of $H_2O$ product near stagnation point has been found out when strain rate has increased. This phenomenon is attributed to the rapid production of oxidizing radical reaction such as the R12 ($H+O_2(+M)=HO_2(+M)$), which makes the R18 ($HO_2+OH=O_2+H_2O$) reaction increment.

황화수소 산화세균인 Thiobacillus sp.를 전남 화순의 폐탄광수에서 분리하였다. 분리된 균주는 그람음성의 운동성이 있고, 포자를 형성하는 간균이었으며, 환원된 무기 황화합물을 산화하여 에너지원으로 사용하는 호기성 통성 화학합성 영양균이었다. 분리균주는 thiosulfate를 첨가한 기본배지에서 유기물을 동화하며 성장하였고, 에너지원으로 사용된 thiosulfate는 32mM 이상의 농도에서는 오히려 기질억제 인자로 작용하여 균의 성장을 억제하였다. 최적 thiosulfate 농도는 32mM이었다. DNA의 G+C 함량은 65.0mol%이고, 세포내 주요 지방산중 비순산화 지방산은 16:1+7$_{cyc}$, 16:0과 수산화 지방산은 3-OH 12:0을 가지며, $C_{18}$의 미동정 가지형의 지방산도 포함하고 있었다. Ubiquinone system은 Q-9을 가지고 있었다. 위와 같은 생리생화학적 특성 결과로부터, 본 분리균주는 Thiobacillus sp. iw.의 새로운 종으로 판단하였다.

Gas sensor materials capable of detecting hydrogen gases (H$_2$) or nitrogen oxides (NO$\_$x/, primarily NO and NO$_2$) with high sensitivity have attracted much interest in conjunction with the growing concern to the protection of global environments. Beside conventional sensor materials, such as semiconductors., conducting polymers and solid electrolytes, the potential of sensor materials with a new method for detecting hydrogen gases or nitrogen oxides gas has also been tested. The breakdown voltage of porous varistors shifted to a low electric field upon exposure to H$_2$ gas, whereas it shifted to a reverse direction in an atmosphere containing oxidizing gases such as O$_3$ and NO$_2$ in the temperature range of 300 to 600$^{\circ}C$. Furthermore, it was found that the magnitude of the breakdown voltage shift, i. e. the magnitude of sensitivity, was well correlated with gas concentration, and that the H$_2$ sensitivity was improved by controlling the composition of the Bi$_2$O$_3$ rich grain boundary phase. However, NO$\_$x/ sensing properties of porous varistors have not been studies in detail. The objective of the present study is to investigate the effect of the composition of the Bi$_2$O$_3$ rich grain boundary phase and other additive such as A1$_2$O$_3$ on the hydrogen gases (H$_2$) sensing properties of porous ZnO based varistors.

A superoxide dismutase was purified 62-fold in seven steps to homogeneity from Methylobacillus sp. strain SK1, an obligate methanol-oxidizing bacterium, with a yield of 9.6%. The final specific activity was 4,831 units per milligram protein as determined by an assay based on a 50% decrease in the rate of cytochrome c reduction. The molecular weight of the native enzyme was estimated to be 44,000. Sodium dodecyl sulfate gel electrophoresis revealed two identical subunits of molecular weight 23,100. The isoelectric point of the purified enzyme was found to be 4.4. Maximum activity of the enzyme was measured at pH 8. The enzyme was stable at pH range from 6 to 8 and at high temperature. The enzyme showed an absorption peak at 280 nm with a shoulder at 292 nm. Hydrogen peroxide and sodium azide, but not sodium cyanide, was found to inhibit the purified enzyme. The enzyme activity in cell-free extracts prepared from cells grown in manganese-rich medium, however, was not inhibited by hydrogen peroxide but inhibited by sodium azide. The activity in cell extracts from cells grown in iron-rich medium was found to be highly sensitive to hydrogen peroxide and sodium azide. One mol of native enzyme was found to contain 1.1 g-atom of iron and 0.7 g-atom of manganese. The N-terminal amino acid sequence of the purified enzyme was Ala-Tyr-Thr-Leu-Pro-Pro-Leu-Asn-Tyr-Ala-Tyr. The superoxide dismutase of Methylobacillus sp. strain SK1 was found to have antigenic sites identical to those of Methylobacillus glycogenes enzyme. The enzyme, however, shared no antigenic sites with Mycobacterium sp. strain JC1, Methylovorus sp. strain SS1, Methylobacterium sp. strain SY1, and Methylosinus trichosproium enzymes.

The rapid development of the poultry industry has led to the production of large amounts of manure, which produce substances like hydrogen sulfide ($H_2S$) that contribute to odor pollution. $H_2S$ is a highly undesirable gas component and its removal from the environment is therefore necessary. Sulfur-oxidizing bacteria (SOB) are widely known to remove contaminating $H_2S$ due to their ability to oxidize reduced sulfur compounds. In this study, three potential SOB (designated AH18, AH25, and AH28) that were previously isolated from a hot spring in Malaysia were identified by 16S rRNA gene analysis. Laboratory-scale biological deodorization experiments were conducted to test the performance of the three isolates-in the form of pure or mixed cultures, with the cells immobilized onto alginate as a carrier-in reducing the $H_2S$ from chicken manure. On the basis of 16S rRNA phylogenetic analysis, isolate AH18 was identified as Pseudomonas sp., whereas isolates AH25 and AH28 were identified as Achromobacter sp. The most active deodorizing isolate was AH18, with an $H_2S$ reduction rate of 74.7% (p < 0.05). Meanwhile, the reduction rates for isolates AH25 and AH28 were 54.2% and 60.8% (p > 0.05), respectively. However, the $H_2S$ removal performance was enhanced in the mixed culture, with a reduction rate of 81.9% (p < 0.05). In conclusion, the three potential SOB isolates were capable of reducing the $H_2S$ from chicken manure in the form of a pure culture immobilized on alginate, and the reduction performance was enhanced in the mixed culture.

The effect of a chemical pretreatment on the surface carbon was investigated using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and electrochemical methods. Primitive carbon has a reducing power likely due to incompletely oxidized functional groups on the surface. We aim to control this reducing power by chemical treatment and apply for the spontaneous deposition of nanoparticles (NPs). Highly ordered pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) was initially treated with a reducing agent, NaBH4 or an oxidizing agent, KMnO₄, for 5 min. Subsequently, the pretreated carbon was immersed in a platinum (Pt) precursor. Unexpectedly, SEM images showed that the reducing agent increased spontaneous PtNPs deposition while the oxidizing agent decreased Pt loading more as compared to that of using bare carbon. However, the amount of Pt on the carbon obviously decreased by NaBH₄ treatment for 50 min. Secondly, spontaneous reduction on pretreated glassy carbon (GC) was investigated using the catalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). GC electrode treated with NaBH4 for a short and long time showed small (onset potential: -640 mV vs. MSE) and large overpotential for the HER, respectively. Although the mechanism is unclear, the electrochemistry results correspond to the optical data. As a proof-of-concept, these results demonstrate that chemical treatments can be used to design the shapes and amounts of deposited catalytic metal on carbon by controlling the surface state.

황화수소 및 메틸머캡탄($CH_3SH$) 또는 DMS($CH_3SCH_3$)와 같은 황화합물들의 악취를 효율적으로 처리하기 위하여 축분으로 오염된 토양으로부터 sodium thiosulfate 또는 유리황과 같은 기질을 이용하여 미생물의 분리 및 동정을 하고 분리된 미생물들의 여러 가지 pH, 배양온도, 산소조건, 기질(황화합물) 농도, 질소원 및 탄소원의 농도 및 배양기 교반속도 등의 배양조건 하에서의 배양특성을 관찰하고 적정배양조건을 구축하였다. KD-1212와 DAH-1056 균주의 최적 pH는 각각 7.0 및 4.0이었으며 최적배양온도는 $30{\sim}35^{\circ}C$ 범위였다. 또한 독립영양미생물인 ED-1138 균주를 다른 오염된 토양에서 분리하였다. 균주를 고정한 바이오필터의 악취처리에 있어서 균주 DAH-1056이 기존 균주 Thiobacillus sp. IW보다 황화수소 제거능이 우수하였다. KD-1212 균주를 이용하여 황화합물의 농도 및 질소원 및 탄소원에 대한 성장특성을 조사한 결과, KD-1212는 sodium thiosulfate의 25 mM 농도에서 성장이 가장 잘되었고, 탄소원으로는 glucose와 maltose를 잘 이용하는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 질소원으로는 yeast extract를 잘 이용하였으며 0.5% 농도에서 성장이 가장 잘 되었다.

본 연구에서는 황산화세균의 생장과 이에 따른 콘크리트의 생화학적 부식의 단계적인 개연성을 실증적으로 분석하기 위해 고안된 생화학적 부식 시뮬레이션 시험 및 장치를 구축하였으며, 황산화세균인 Thiobacillus novellus의 생장 활성화를 위해 여러 기본조건을 설정하였다. 또한 세균의 이식 방법과 황화수소농도 조건에 따라 크게 2종류의 시험이 진행되었으며, 이에 따른 Thiobacillus novellus의 생장특성과 항균금속의 첨가에 따른 항균성능을 검증할 수 있었다. 우선 황화수소 120 ppm의 조건하에서 시험체를 세균배양액에 침지시켜 Thiobacillus novellus을 간접적으로 이식한 시뮬레이션 시험의 경우, 사슬형태의 대단위 군집을 형성하는 Thiobacillus novellus의 급속한 생장과 높은 황원소의 검출을 관찰할 수 있었으나 장기적으로 Thiobacillus novellus의 생장을 유도하기는 곤란하였다. 황화수소 50 ppm의 조건하에서 황산화세균인 Thiobacillus novellus를 직접 이식한 시뮬레이션 시험의 경우, Thiobacillus novellus의 비교적 장기적인 개별생장이 관찰되었으며, 항균금속을 첨가한 시험체에서 세포막과 내부 조직이 파괴된 Thiobacillus novellus의 개체가 관찰되어 항균금속 성분에 의한 Thiobacillus novellus의 생장억제 성능을 실증적으로 검증하는 것이 가능하였다.
