This study was undertaken to identify and characterize hemolytic Bacillus cereus isolated from commercial ssam-jang. The physiological and biochemical properties of isolate were first examined. Using the BIOLOG system, the isolate was identified and assigned to B. cereus MH-2. Phylogenetic tree of MH-2 was plotted based on 16S rRNA sequence comparisons. Hemolytic activity was observed around wells of sheep blood agar plates seeded with MH-2 cultures; the zone of hemolysis gradually increased with increasing incubation time of the cultures. Zymographic analysis estimated the molecular weight of the presumed hemolysis-causing molecule to be about 30 kDa. Survival rates of MH-2 cells decreased with increasing NaCl concentrations in the media. The stress shock proteins (e.g., DnaK and GroEL) induced by NaCl were reduced in proportion to the NaCl concentration and exposure period to B. cereus MH-2. Analysis of SDS-PAGE and Western blot revealed that the stress shock proteins, 70-kDa DnaK and 60-kDa GroEL were decreased proportionate to the NaCl concentrations as well as exposure period in exponentially growing cultures. Scanning electron microscopy demonstrated the presence of perforations and irregular rod forms with wrinkled surfaces in cells treated with NaCl.

무 유식물에서 acid phosphatase의 활성은 산성인 pH 5.5에서 최대치를 보였다. 0.5 mM ABA처리로 acid phosphatase의 활성이 대조구보다는 오래 지속되였고, 0.5 mM NaCl 처리시 도 acid phosphatase 활성의 변화는 ABA 처리 때와 유사하였다. 그러나 저온처리를 하면, 대조구에 비해서 효소의 활성이 급속히 감소되었다가, 대조구의 acid phosphatase는 거의 같은 활성을 유지하는 동안 처리구의 acid phosphatae의 활성은 6 일까지 서서히 증가되었다. Acid phosphatase는 저온처리, ABA와 NaCl처리에 대항하여 식물이 스트레스에 대처하도록 생화학적인 반응에 관하는 것으로 보인다.

The effects on photosynthesis of NaCl(0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 or 1.0 M) were examined in etiolated barley seedlings. Chlorophyll(Chl) a, Chl b and carotenoid contents, Chl a fluorescence and quenching coefficients of Chl fluorescence have been determined in the primary leaves of etiolated barley seedlings cultivated under low light(60 $\mu$㏖ $m^{-2}\;s^{-1}$). Chl a, b, and carotenoid contents were decreased remarkably in comparison with the control at 0.4 M NaCl. However, the value of Fo and Fv were decreased at 0.6 M NaCl and the ratio of Fv/Fm were deceased at 1.0 M NaCl. Chlorophyll synthesis was seriously inhibited from 0.4 M NaCl, and the photosynthetic electron transport system was inhibited from 0.6 M NaCl. Quantum of photosystem II reaction center was inhibited at 1.0 M NaCl. The effects of NaCl on the Chl content were raised in a 6 hrs, but the effects of NaCl on the value of Fo, Fv and Fv/Fm were raised in 30 hrs. The value of qP was decreased in comparison with the control at all concentrations, but there was a small change in the value qE. These results provide evidence that NaCl inhibited effects of various concentration of NaCl were inhibited quinone redox, however, proton gradient between thylakoid membranes was little damaged.

The present study examined the salinity-induced oxidative damage and differential response of enzymatic and nonenzymatic antioxidants of Nostoc muscorum. As compared with carotenoid content that showed induction, the chlorophyll and phycocyanin contents were inhibited after salt stress. Acceleration of lipid peroxidation and peroxide production suggested the onset of oxidative damage. The activities of all studied enzymatic antioxidants were significantly increased by salt stress, with maximum induction occuring with superoxide dismutase (154.8% at 200 mM NaCl treatment). Interestingly, under severe stress condition (250 mM NaCl), ascorbate peroxidase seemed to be more crucial than catalase for peroxide scavenging. Among the studied nonenzymatic antioxidants, ${\alpha}$-tocopherol was induced maximally (56.0%); however, ascorbate and reduced glutathione were increased by only 8.9% after 250 mM NaCl treatment as compared with control cells. Therefore, salinity was found to induce the antioxidative defense system of N. muscorum.

Salinity is a major abiotic stress that adversely affects crop productivity and quality. In this study, the metabolic profile and nutritional composition of rice in response to NaCl were analyzed. The plants were exposed to stressed or unstressed conditions, and their metabolic changes were examined in the shoots, roots, and grains collected at different growth stages. The levels of nutrients and anti-nutrients, including proximates, amino acids, fatty acids, minerals, vitamins, and phytic acid, were also determined for the grains. Application of NaCl significantly decreased the shoot and root growth and induced metabolic alterations at the tillering stage. During the heading stage, only the root metabolites were influenced by NaCl, and no metabolic variations related to salinity were found in the shoot, roots, and grains at the ripening stage. Nutritional analysis of the grain samples revealed that the amounts of linolenic acid and tricosanoic acid were significantly reduced while those of copper, sodium, and phytic acid were enhanced in response to stress. However, except for sodium, those differences were not great. Our results suggest that although NaCl-salinity influences the phenotypic and metabolic profiles of rice shoots and roots at the tillering stage, this impact becomes negligible as tissue development proceeds. This is especially true for the grains. Compositional analysis of the grains indicated that salinity induces some changes in fatty acids, minerals, and anti-nutrients.

Zygosaccharomyces rouxii는 간장의 숙성 기간동안 중요한 역활을 하는 내염성 효모이다. 이 실험에서 사용된 Z. rouxii는 18% NaCl함유 YPD (1% yeast extract, 2% peptone과 2% glucose, pH5.0)에서 잘 성장하는 반면 Saccharomyces cerevisiae는 8% NaCl보다 적은 YPD에서만 자란다 15% NaCl존재하에서 Z. rouxii는 대수기에서 세포내에서 적합한 용질로서 많은 양의 글리세린을 축적하는데 이것은 내염성 효모의 특성이다. 세포막 지질 유동층의 화학 분석에 따르면 15% NaCl에서 자란 세포의 막구조는 더욱 단단하였고 그 유동층은 고농도의 식염의 배지에서는 세포내에 글리세린이 감소되었다.

Rheological properties of thickened fluids used for consumption by people with dysphagia (swallowing difficulty) are very sensitive to several factors, such as thickener type, temperature, pH, sugar, protein, and NaCl. In this study, steady and dynamic rheological properties of thickened water samples mixed with five commercial xanthan gum-based food thickeners (A~E) were studied in the presence of NaCl at different concentrations (0.3%, 0.6%, 0.9%, and 1.2%). The magnitudes of apparent viscosity (${\eta}_{a,50}$), consistency index (K), yield stress (${\sigma}_{oc}$), and dynamic moduli (G' and G") showed significant differences in rheological behaviors between thickened samples with various NaCl concentrations. Dynamic moduli values of all thickened samples, except for samples with thickener C, were much higher than those of the control (0% NaCl). All rheological parameter values (K, G', and G") in a thickener A were much higher than those in other thickeners. These results suggest that rheological properties of thickened samples containing NaCl are strongly affected by xanthan gum-NaCl interaction and depended on the type of thickener.

The overall effects of gibberellic acid (GA3) with NaCl on different rice genotypes are inadequately understood. The present study determines the effect of different GA3 concentrations on the morphophysiological, molecular and biochemical effects of 120 mM NaCl salt stress in rice seedlings. Salt stress reduced germination percentages and seedling growth and decreased bioactive GA content. It also downregulated the relative expression of a-amylase-related genes - OsAmy1A, OsAmy1C, and OsAmy3C in the salt-sensitive IR28 cultivar. Salt stress differentially regulated the expression of GA biosynthetic genes. Salt stress increased antioxidant activity in all rice genotypes tested, except in IR28. GA3 (50 and 100 µM) mitigates the effect of salt stress, rescuing seed germination and growth attributes. GA3 significantly increased bioactive GA content in Nagdong and pokkali (50 µM) and Cheongcheong and IR28 (100 µM) cultivars. The a-amylase genes were also significantly upregulated by GA3. Similarly, GA3 upregulated OsGA2oxl and OsGA2ox9 expression in the Cheongcheong and salt-sensitive IR28 cultivars. The present study demonstrated that salt stress inactivates bioactive GA - inhibiting germination and seedlings growth - and decreases bioactive GA content and GSH activity in IR28 and Pokkali cultivars. Further, GA3 significantly reversed the effects of 120 mM NaCl salt stress in different rice genotypes. The current study also suggests if we know the coastal area water NaCl concentration we can apply the exogenous GA3 accordingly. Thus, we would be able to grow rice cultivars near the coastal area and reduce the rice damage by salinity.

염 성분이 처리된 조건배지에서 발아를 유도한 양배추와 고추 종자는 각각 400 mM, 200 mM의 염분농도에서부터 발아상태만 유지되고 유묘로서의 성장은 더 이상 진행되지 않았다. 뿌리의 분화에서 고추의 경우는 성장하는 유묘에서 뿌리털만이 왕성하게 분화되는 것을 관찰할 수 있었지만, 양배추는 전체적으로 고른 뿌리털의 분화가 유도되다가 200 mM에서는 오히려 1차 근의 발달이 두드러지게 나타났다. 이러한 뿌리털의 뚜렷한 분화 현상은 염에 의한 hyperosmotic stress에 대하여 식물 세포가 cellular ion homeostasis를 유지하기 위한 것으로, 이러한 영향이 뿌리조직 중 1차 근의 분화가 둔화되고 결국 유묘의 성장이 억제된다. 유묘로부터 anthocyanin을 추출한 결과 양배추의 경우 200 mM NaCl 첨가 배지에서, 고추는 50 mM K-gluconate 첨파배지에서 가장 많은 anthocyanin이 검출되었다. 이 결과는 염분 스트레스에 의해 식물색소의 합성량을 변화시킬수 있다는 것을 시사하는 것으로 이 조건을 토대로 식물체로부터 anthocyanin의 합성을 다량으로 유도할 수 있을 것이다. Betaine합성과 BADH와의 관계를 알아본 결과, 영양변이에 의한 스트레스가 BADH의 활성을 유도하게 되면 아울러 betaine 생합성을 조절하고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 고추는 100 mM의 K-gluconate 첨가 배지에서 양배추는 200 mM의 NaCl이 처리된 조건배지에서 발아되는 초기에 염분에 대해 많은 영향을 받는 것으로 보이며 유묘의 성장이 왕성한 시기에 betaine의 함량이 증가하였다. Anthocyanin 추출과 BADH활성에서 알 수 있듯이 고추는 $K^{+}$이, 양배추는 $Na^{+}$이 수분 스트레스의 신호로 작용하여 다양한 transcription factor를 합성함으로써 2차 대사반응을 유도하는 것으로 판단된다. 이 과정에시 식물 조직은 염분 스트레스에 따른 특이적 산물과 여러 유용물질을 합성하게 되는 것이다. Proline과 betaine은 높은 농도로 처리된 염 성분이 액포내에 축적되는 것을 방지하여 액포의 노화와 세포질의 효소활성을 보호하여 세포내 ion homeostasis를 유지하고 삼투대사를 조절하여 액포를 보호하는 인자와 같은 역할을 한다.

Fatigue tests were carried out by a rotary bending testing machine of cantilever type. M.E.F.(ferrite encapsulated islands of martensite) materials were made by a series of heat treatment from a low carbon steel(SM 20 C). The fatigue tests were conducted at stress levels of 302 MPa and with frequencies of 25Hz, 2.5 Hz and 0.5 Hz in 3% NaCl solution. The fatigue strength increased with frequency got higher. The microcracks and corrosion pits were generated at the boundary between the matrix and the 2nd phase. The cracks generated by the corrosion pits were coalesced with the pits around the notch and became the initial crack. The $N_i/N_f$ ratio increased as the frequency and stress level decreased. The interference phenomenon increased with stress level and frequency gots higher. The crack propagation rate was delayed as the stress level lowers and the frequency gets higher, however, the range of the stress intensity factor depended only on a stress level.
