Some species of the Trichoderma genus are reported as the major problem in oak wood mushroom production in Korea. In spite of economic loss by the fungi, scientific information on airborne Trichoderma species is not much available. To generate information for disease management development we analyzed airborne Trichoderma. A total of 1,063 fungal isolates were purely obtained from indoor air sampling of cultivation houses used for oak wood mushroom using sawdust media. Among the obtained isolates, 248 isolates were identified as Trichoderma fungi including T. harzianum, T. atroviride, T. citrinoviride, and T. pseudokoningii, by morphological and molecular analysis. T. harzianum was dominant among the four identified species. All the four Trichoderma species grew fast on solid nutrient media tested (potato dextrose agar [PDA], malt extract agar [MEA], Czapek's Dox + yeast extract agar [CYA] and cornmeal dextrose agar). Compact mycelia growth and mass spore production were better on PDA and CYA. In addition, T. harzianum and T. citrinoviride formed greenish and yellowish mycelium and spores on PDA and CYA. Greenish and yellowish pigment was saturated into PDA only by T. pseudokoningii. These four Trichoderma species could produce extracellular enzymes of sawdust substrate degradation such as β-glucosidase, avicelase, CM-cellulase, amylase, pectinase, xylanase, and protease. Their mycelia inhibited the growth of oak wood mushroom mycelia of two tested cultivars on dual culture assay. Among of eleven antifungal agents tested, benomyl was the best to inhibit the growth of the four Trichoderma species. Our results demonstrate that the airborne Trichoderma fungi need to be properly managed in the cultivation houses for safe mushroom production.

The crystal transformation from cellulose I to cellulose II during alkaline swelling of waste wood, which has been used for cultivating oak mushroom(Cortinellus edodes (Berk.) Ito et Imai), was investigated and compared to that of normal wood by a series of X-ray diffraction analysis. When the sapwood of cultivated wood was treated with 20% NaOH solution for 2 hours, the cellulose I can be easily transformed into Na-cellulose I than normal wood or heartwood of cultivated wood. Certainly the formation of Na-cellulose in wood is proportional to alkali swelling duration, and the formation of cultivated sapwood was faster than that of the other woods. Cellulose I in the sapwood of cultivated wood was easily transformed into cellulose II during mercerization, but the sapwood of normal wood and the heartwood of cultivated wood hardly converted to cellulose II. Namely, most of Na-cellulose I in normal wood can be reconverted to cellulose I in the process of washing and drying. Therefore, it can be concluded from this study that in cell wall lignin and hemicellulose can prevent the alkaline swelling of cellulose in wood and the transformation from cellulose I to cellulose II as well.

The rate of utilization of the oak cork (bark of Quercus variabilis Blume) ranges only 40-50%. Therefore, this study was carried out to investigate the chemical properties of the oak cork for increasing the utility. 1) The contents of alkali extractives, organic solvent extractives and ash in the oak cork are similar to those of other barks, but hot and cold water extractives and lignin contents are lower than those of the wood. The carbohydrate (cellulose and hemicellulose) content of the oak cork is similar to that of other barks. The suberin contents in the first and the second bark of the oak cork are 34.8 and 32.2% respectively, in the dry weight. 2) Inorganic component contents of the first bark are similar to those of the second. The pH of the first and the second bark are 3.9 and 4.2%. The caloric values of the first and second bark are 6,263 Kcal/kg, and 5,828 Kcal/kg, respectively, and these caloric values are higher than those of other barks. The sclerencymatous cell content of the first bark which is related to the quality of the oak cork is lower than that of second bark, the contents of the sclerenchymatous cell and lignin show the positive correlation. 3) In the dimension of the cross sectioned cork cell, the first bark is bigger than that of the second. The shape of the cork cell is globular shape in the early bark and discoid shape in the late bark. The cross and the radial section are the same shape, but the tangential section shows difference from the other section.

기후변화를 유발하는 원인물질로는 주로 화석연료의 연소에 의해 발생하는 '온실가스'가 대표적이었으나, 최근 연구를 통해 블랙카본 또한 기후변화에 기여하는 것으로 알려지고 있다. 주로 숯가마, 화목난로, 폐기물 노천소각 등 생물성 물질의 불완전연소에 의해 발생하는 블랙카본은 눈과 얼음의 표면에 붙어 알베도를 감소시키고, 태양복사에너지 흡수율을 증가시켜 눈과 얼음이 녹는 속도를 가속화 한다. 그러나, 바이오매스 연소로 발생하는 블랙카본의 배출 특성은 아직 정확하게 밝혀진 바가 없다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 블랙카본의 배출 특성을 살펴보기 위하여 화목난로를 대상으로 연소실험을 진행하였다. 연소 실험 결과, 블랙카본은 연소 온도가 낮고, 연소용 공기 공급량이 적은 조건에서 더 많이 발생하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 블랙카본 배출계수는 벽난로에서 목재연료 A를 연소하였을 때가 1.01 g-BC/kg-Oak, 목재연료 B가 0.37 g-BC/kg-Oak, 목재연료 C가 0.29 g-BC/kg-Oak으로 산정되었고, 소형난로에서 목재연료 A를 연소하였을 때 0.25 g-BC/kg-Oak으로 산정되었다.

This experiment was carried out to determine the drying time from green to oven dry and estimate the moisture content of wood, such as red lauan (Shorea Spp.), Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii), Birch (Betula platyphylla), and oak (Quercus aliena), at various thickness, paralleled to fiber, of specimen for M.C. by oven dry method (100-105$^{\circ}C$). The results obtained are summarized as follows: 1. The drying time from green to oven dry decreases as the thickness of specimen for M.C. becomes to be thined, and that time at 10mm thickness are 14 hrs, for birch wood and 24 hrs, for oak wood. 2. The relative formulae between thickness (X) of specimen for M.C. and drying lime (Y) from 12% to oven dry are showed in Fig. 3. 3. The M.C. based on the weight of specimen for M.C. at t% can be obtained from the formula (2), and the drying time to 1% are shorter than that time to oven dry by approximately three times.

Collapse is an abnormal shrinkage resulting in uneven, rough surfaces and/or warping of sawn timber. The maximum abnormal shrinkages of the oak and persimmon specimens were obtained by the quasi-equilibrium drying and were compared with the other drying methods. The effect of steaming and freezing treatments on the shrinkage of wood was also investigated. The Quasi-equilibrium drying used in this study was proved as a good tool to make the maximum abnormal shrinkage of wood. The maximum abnormal volumetric shrinkage possibly caused by collapse could be 16.3% and 14.3% for the oak and persimmon specimens, respectively. In general the steaming-treated specimens shrank less than the controls for the oak specimens, but did more for the persimmon specimens. The volumetric shrinkages of the freezing-treated specimens were more various between the drying methods than those of the control and steaming-treated specimens.

본 연구는 자기가수분해전처리를 통하여 반응성이 높은 고순도 셀룰로오스기질을 제조하기 위하여 수행되었다. 공시재의 일반 화학조성은 일본잎갈나무와 신갈나무간에 큰 차이가 있음을 알 수 있었다. 추출물함량은 일본잎갈나무가 신갈나무보다 상당량 많았다. 특히 냉·온수 추출물함량은 2.5~3.5배 많았다. 이러한 추출물함량의 큰 차이는 일본잎갈나무에는 arabinogalactan이 많이 함유되어 있기 때문인 것으로 사료된다. 리그닌함량은 신갈나무가 잎갈나무바다 5% 정도 낮았으며, 그 대신 홀로셀룰로오스 및 펜토산함량이 각각3% 정도 높은 값으로 나타났다. 22 kg/cm² 수증기압력에서 5~60분간의 자기가수분해 전처리과정에서 glucose 함량에는 변화가 없었으나, hemicellulose 및 lignin 함량은 급력한 변화를 보였다. 전처리과정에서 가수분해물의 pH는 3까지 저하되었으며, 이러한 경향은 신갈나무 및 일본잎갈나무에서 동일하게 나타났다. Sodium chlorite 및 sulfite 혹은 bisulfite 전처리 후 자기가수분해가 리그닌함량이 낮은 고순도셀룰로오스기질의 제조에 효과적이었다. 특히 자기가수분해처리재를 알칼리 및 산소-알칼리 2단처리함으로서 0~0.2%의 리그닌함량을 가지는 고순도기질을 제조할 수 있었다.
