Mn 처리에 대한 소나무 묘목의 생장 및 영양상태의 반응을 수경재배법에 의하여 조사하였다. Mn 처리 농도별(0, 30, 60ppm) 배양액의 pH를 4.0으로 조절한 후, 소나무(Pinus densiflora) 2년생 묘목을 배양액에 이식하여 90일 동안 온실에서 생육시켰다. 소나무 묘목의 건물생장은 Mn 처리에 의하여 감소하였으며, 상대생장율(RGR)과 순동화율(NAR) 감소에 대한 Mn의 영향이 인정되었다. 이러한 결과는 배양액의 Mn 농도 증가에 의해 잎의 건물생산효율이 저하되었다는 것을 시사하였다. 식물체내 원소함량에 대한 Mn의 영향을 조사한 결과, 소나무 묘목의 줄기와 뿌리내 Ca 및 Mg 함량은 Mn 60ppm 처리구에서 가장 낮았으며, Mn 농도는 뿌리에 비하여 잎에서 3배 가량 높은 함량을 나타내었다. 또한 무처리구에 비해 Mn 처리구에서 순광합성 속도의 감소가 나타났다. 이상의 결과는 뿌리의 양분 흡수저해 및 뿌리에서 잎으로 이행된 Mn의 과잉축적에 의한 광합성 저해를 반영하는 것으로써, 결과적으로 소나무 묘목의 건물생장량 감소가 이들 결과의 복합적인 영향에 의해 초래되었음을 시사한다.

국화의 생육단계별 적정 양액농도를 구명하기 위해 국화의 생육단계를 영양생장기 2단계와 생식생장기 1단계, 즉 3단계로 나누어 양액농도를 처리한 결과, 영양 생장기에서는 1배액에서 초장이 가장 길었고, 광합성과 증산량도 가장 높았다. 그러나 엽내 엽록소 농도는 양액의 농도가 높을수록 컸다. 화아형성이후, 생육 (초장, 엽면적, 경경)과 각 기관별 생체중, 건물중에서도 1배액처리구가 좋았으며, 특히 화아형성이후 수돗물 관수에 의해서도 1배액과 비슷하거나 오히려 더 좋게 나타났다. 그리고 수돗물 관주처리에서 개화소요일수가 짧았다. 이와 같은 결과는 양액의 관주 농도가 높을수록 배지내 염류집적으로 식물체가 스트레스를 받은 것으로 사료된다. 국화의 생육단계별로, 초기 활착기까지는 1/2배액으로 한 후 생육이 왕성한 영양생장기에는 1배액으로, 화아형성 이후에는 양액의 농도를 줄이는 것이 국화 양액재배시 비료염의 절약, 개화소요일수 단축, 배지내 비료염 축적의 감소, 지하수 오염의 감소 등 경제적이고 환경친화적인 방법이라고 사료된다.

The production of poly-$\beta$-hydroxybutyrate(PHB) from methanol by batch and fed-batch cultivations of Methylobacterium sp. GL-10 was studied. PHB accumulation was stimulated by the nutrients deficiency including, NH4+, SO42-, and K+. The nitrogen deficiency was the most critical factor for PHB accumulation. In batch cultivation, the maximum cell concentration and PHB content were 1.86g/l and 0.62g/l, respectively, with 1.0%(v/v) of methanol and 0.5g/1 of ammonium sulfate. The mass doubling time of Methylobacterum sp. GL-10 was in the range of 4-5 hrs. The cell growth and PHB accumulation were severely inhibited at the methanol concentration over than 2% (v/v). To overcome methanol Inhibition, constant feeding and intermittent feedillg fed-batch cultivations were adopted, using C/N molar ratio as a control factor. In constant feeding fed-batch process, cell concentration was increased up to 2.67g/1, and PHB yield was enhanced from 0.33 of batch culture to 0.53. The relatively low cell concentration was caused by methanol accumulated in culture broth at late growth phase. To prevent methanol accumulation and to maximize PHB production, DO-state intermittent fed-batch cultivation was attempted. The cell and PHB concentration was reached up to 4.55g/1 and 1.80g/1, respectively. It was possible to maintain methanol concentration low and also to feed nutrient of desired C/N molar ratio.

Near future dynamics of water qualities (nutrient concentration) of the Han River was predicted, based on a mathematical model representing the relationship between the nutrient concentration in th river wagter and environmental factors (population density, land-use types, rock compositions and nutrient accumulation) in the basin. The population density and land-use types were forecasted to change distinctly in the downstream area, especially in Seoul City area in 1985~1990 whereas any environmental factor was not expected to change its level significantly in both upstream and middle reaches areas. It was indicated by the model that the nutrients concentration in the up- and mid-streams would keep its level in future as it was, but it would increase drastially in the downstream area. For the preservation of the water qualities in the downstream at least to keep its level as it was in 1980, practical countermeasures were proposed, based on the assessment of the contribution of each environmental factor to the water qualities.

The freshwater green alga Chlorococcum sp. grew on NH_4^{+},{\;}NO_3^{-}$, urea, yeast extract, and peptone as the nitrogen source showing similar pattens of growth and secondary carotenoid (SC) production. However, the most suitable nitrogen source for the induction fo SC was urea. The dffects of nutrient levels (urea, phosphate, sulfate, ferrous iron, and salt) on growth and SC production were stydied by varying the concentration of each nutrient in batch cultures. High biomass production was achieved in cultures containing 20-28 mM urea, 4.8-10 mM phosphate, 1.6 mM sulfate, 70 mM phosphate, 1.6 mM sulfate, 170 mM NACl, and $50{\;}\mu\textrm{M}$ iron. The optimum concentrations of nutrients for biomass and for the SC accumulation in biomass were evaluated and the two media for achieving high biomass production and SC production were thus developed. The extent to which each parameter to stimulate the formation of SC in the alga were varied and the potentially improned SC prodution by manipulating the nutrient levels in the modified media were descussed.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Epigenetic regulation by nutrients can influence the development of specific diseases. This study sought to examine the effect of individual nutrients and nutrient families in the context of preventing chronic metabolic diseases via epigenetic regulation. The inhibition of lipid accumulation and inflammation by nutrients including proteins, lipids, vitamins, and minerals were observed, and histone acetylation by histone acetyltransferase (HAT) was measured. Correlative analyses were also performed. MATERIALS/METHODS: Nutrients were selected according to information from the Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety. Selected nutrient functionalities, including the attenuation of fatty acid-induced lipid accumulation and lipopolysaccharide-mediated acute inflammation were evaluated in mouse macrophage Raw264.7 and mouse hepatocyte AML-12 cells. Effects of the selected nutrients on in vitro HAT inhibition were also evaluated. RESULTS: Nitric oxide (NO) production correlated with HAT activity, which was regulated by the amino acids group, suggesting that amino acids potentially contribute to the attenuation of NO production via the inhibition of HAT activity. Unsaturated fatty acids tended to attenuate inflammation by inhibiting NO production, which may be attributable to the inhibition of in vitro HAT activity. In contrast to water-soluble vitamins, the lipid-soluble vitamins significantly decreased NO production. Water- and lipid-soluble vitamins both exhibited significant inhibitory activities against HAT. In addition, calcium and manganese significantly inhibited lipid accumulation, NO production, and HAT activity. CONCLUSIONS: Several candidate nutrients and their family members may have roles in the prevention of diseases, including hepatic steatosis and inflammation-related diseases (i.e., nonalcoholic steatohepatitis) via epigenetic regulation. Further studies are warranted to determine which specific amino acids, unsaturated fatty acids and lipid-soluble vitamins or specific minerals influence the development of steatosis and inflammatory-related diseases.

The objective of this study was to produce a nutrient delivery system (NDS) using sialic acid extracted from edible bird's nest (EBN), which improves brain function in patients with Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease, by affinity bead technology (ABT). The inhibitory activity of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and pyramidal cells in the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus were analyzed to investigate the effect of a sialic acid NDS on Alzheimer's disease. Also, the effect of a sialic acid NDS on Parkinson's disease was evaluated by rota-rod test and pole test in an animal model. Among the groups treated with donepezil, EBN, and sialic acid NDS, the AChE activity was the lowest in the sialic acid NDS-treated group. The results of the hippocampus analysis of the rat model confirmed that the sialic acid NDS inhibited amyloid-beta accumulation depending upon the concentration. Also, the sialic acid NDS group showed more improvement in motor deterioration than the1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-induced group in both the rota-rod test and pole test. Therefore, the sialic acid NDS had an effect of protecting not only Alzheimer's disease by inhibiting AChE and amyloid-beta accumulation, but Parkinson's disease by preventing neurotoxicity induced by MPTP.

When methanol was the sole carbon source, Methylobacterium organophilum NCIB 11278, a facultative methylotroph, accumulated Poly-$\beta$-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) as 59% (w/w) of dry cell weight under potassium limitation, 37% under sulfate limitation, and 33% under nitrogen limitation. Based on a stoichiometric analysis of PHB synthesis from methanol, it was suspected that PHB synthesis is accompanied by the overproduction of energy, either 6-10 ATP and 1 $FADH_2$ or 6 ATP and 3 NADPH to balance the NADH requirement, per PHB monomer. This was confirmed by observation of increased intracellular ATP levels during PHB accumulation. The intracellular ATP with limited potassium, sulfate, and ammonium increased to 0.185, 0.452, and 0.390 $\mu$moles ATP/g Xr (residual cell mass) during PHB accumulation, respectively. The intracellular ATP level under potassium limitation was similar to that when there was no nutrient limitation and no PHB accumulation, 0.152- 0.186 $\mu$moles ATP/g Xr. We propose that the maximum PHB accumulation observed when potassium was limited is a result of the energy balance during PHB accumulation. Microorganisms have high energy requirements under potassium limitation. Enhanced PHB accumulation, in ammonium and sulfate limited conditions with the addition of 2,4-dinitrophenol, which dissipates surplus energy, proves this assumption. With the addition of 1 mM of 2,4-dinitrophenol, the PHB content increased from 32.4% to 58.5% of dry cell weight when nitrogen limited and from 15.1 % to 31.0% of dry cell weight when sulfate limited.

혼합배양계에서 활성오니를 이용하여 유기성폐수로부터 생분해성프라스틱 생산 공정이 연구 검토되었다. 공정은 크게 PHA를 생산할 수 있는 미생물을 선택 분리하는 선택반응기와 분리된 미생물을 이용하여 PHA를 축적 생산하는 축적반응기로 구성되었는데 선택반응기로는 연속회분식반응기(SBR)가 이용되어 초기 접종된 활성오니로부터 PHA 축적미생물을 분리하기 위해 부영양/빈영양 영역을 반복 운전하였으며 PHA 축적미생물은 어떠한 성장 제한이 없는 SBR에서 잘 성장하였으나 PHA 축적률은 미미하였다. 미생물내 PHA 축적을 증대시키기 위해서는 비탄소원의 영양원이 제한된 조건에서 배양이 필요하게되어 별도의 축적반응기를 이용 실험을 실시한 결과 산소 제한은 효율적이지 못하였고 인과 질소 성분의 제한 조건에서 PHA 축적이 비교적 높게 나타났다. 특히 질소 제한조건하의 유가식 기질 공급 실험에서 PHA가 건량기준으로 미생물내 60%까지 축적되는 결과를 보여주었고 PHA 축적속도는 미생물내 PHA 함량에 크게 의존하여 PHA의 함량이 증가됨에 따라 감소하였다.

토양으로부터 PHB 생산능이 우수한 균주 FL-027을 분리하여 분류학적 제 특성을 검토한 결과 Alcaligenes속으로 동정되었다. Alcaligenes sp.의 최적 생육 조건은 과당 8.0$g/\ell$, $(NH_4)_2S0_4$ 3.0$g/\ell$ (즉 C/N molar ratio가 5.04) 및 pH7.0과 $30^{\circ}C$였으며, PHB 축적은 과당 8.0$g/\ell$, (NH4)2SO4 0.25g/l(즉 C/N molar ratio가 60) 및 pH6.5와 30'C에서 가장 양호하였다. $NH_4^+$, $Ca^{2+}$, $SO_4^{2+}$의 결핍이 PHB축적을 촉진하였으나 이들 중 $NH_4^+$가 가장 효과적으로 PHB축적을 유도하였다. 고농도배양을 위해 과당을 간헐적으로 첨가하여 최적농도를 유지하면서 유가배양을 실시한 결과 균체량은 25.1$g/\ell$, PHB 축적량은 10.84$g/\ell$로 건조균체량의 43까지 축적되었다. 분리정제된 PHB를 IR 및 $^1H-NMR$로 분석한결과 3-hydroxybutyric acid의 homopolymer임을 알 수 있었다.
