  • We have identified the iscR (PA3815) gene encoding an iron-sulfur cluster assembly regulator homolog as one of the genes required for peroxide resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa PA14. Here, we present the phenotypic characterization of an iscR deletion mutant in terms of KatA expression, stress responses, and virulence. The iscR null mutant exhibited reduced KatA activity at the posttranslational level, hypersensitivity to hydrogen peroxide, and virulence-attenuation in Drosophila melanogaster and mouse peritonitis models. These phenotypes were fully restored by multicopy-based expression of katA. These results suggest that the requirement of IscR in P. aeruginosa is related to the proper activity of KatA, which is crucial for peroxide resistance and full virulence of this bacterium.

  • Chlorination has been the most common antifouling method, but alternatives are under searching. In this article, we report how the hydrogen peroxide could enhance the effect of chlorination to prevent fouling by inhibiting larvae settlement and abatement of mussel colonization or by extinct of them; through marine mussel Mytilus edulis. The addition of hydrogen peroxide shows synergic effect on the veliger larvae (up to 19 folds) and effectively reduces required time of mussel mortality by 8-22%. For resolution of micro- and macro-fouling caused by the marine mussel, as well as diminishing of time and conventional chlorine dose could be important factor in favour of environment and economics.

  • The intradermal injection of Propionibacterium acnes (ATCC 6919) into the ears of female Sprague-Dawley rats produced a chronic inflammation with the formation of acneiform lesions. Inflammation was characterized by more than four times of ear thickness and 2.8 times of ear weight at day 21. Histologically, massive infiltration of neutrophils, macrophage and lymphocytes, hyperplastic epidermis, comedones containing keratin mass and inflammatory materials were observed. Both ginseng saponin and extract from Korean red ginseng significantly redliced the ear thickness and their effects were similar to that of benzoyl peroxide. Ginseng samples and beneoyl peroxide modified lipid constituents of P. acnesinjected rat ear tissues. Even though no marked histological changes in inflammatory lesions were observed in ginseng-treated ear tissues, Korean red ginseng showed a possibility of reduce in the risk of acne development.

  • The accelerating effect of sunlight on the rancidity of soybean oil and the efficacies of several anti-oxidants were measured. The result is as follows: 1. The ac야 value and peroxide value of soybean oil were 0.16 and 1, 72 respectively. 2. the peroxide value of soybean oil which was exposed to sunlight nine hours a day for six days was 134.3: 21 times of that which was not exposed to sunlight. 3. The peroxide value of the soybean oil with 0.02~0.06% BHA decreased a little, but not significantly. 4. The anti-rancidity effect of BHT was a little stronger than BHA. 5. The anti-rancidity effect of ascorbic acid alone was negligible. 6 The peroxide value of soybean oil with an anti-oxidant which comprised ascorbic acid, BHA and BHT decreased to one third of that which was not treated with anti-oxidant.

  • Effect of various batter ingredients o acid value, peroxide value, darkening of oil, and changes in volume after frying at 180- $190^{\circ}C$ for 3 times were determined. Organoleptic evaluation was also performed on the fried products. Fried product wit egg yolk raised the acid value, absorbed volume and darkening of frying oil than the control but the peroxide value was the lowest. on the contrary, fried product without egg lowered the acid value, absorbed volume and darkening of frying oil than the control but the peroxide value was high, and the sensory evaluation scores were generally higher in fried product without egg than in the product with egg yolk. In genera, fired products with potato, or potato plus ascorbic acid or carrot lowered the acid value, peroxide value, absorbed volume, and the darkening of frying oil. fried potato 0products were also favorable to the taste panel.

  • Liquified hydrogen peroxide as a monopropellant is drawing an attention as a power generating energy source for a machine requiring simple and light weight structure. The liquified hydrogen peroxide is attracted due to its outstanding applicability because it doesn't require an oxidizer and discharge a hazardous product. For the further industrial applications, however, a feasibility study should be carried out carefully in the aspect of the specific power density. In this study, a prototype of vane motor driven by the liquified hydrogen peroxide with high density of upper 95% was developed and its performance characteristic such as a specific power density was estimated via measuring pressure and rotation speed of the vane motor. The specific power density obtained by numerical simulation using FSI analysis supported by experimental results was up to $0.02kW/kg_{f}$, which reaches at the level of the latest developed fuel cell.

  • The spent petrochemical catalyst used in the manufacturing process of terephthalic-acid contains valuable metals such as cobalt and manganese. To recover these metals, sulfuric acid leaching was performed with hydrogen peroxide as a reducing agent. Low extractions of Mn, Co and Fe were obtained by sulfuric acid leaching without reducing agent. With adding hydrogen peroxide as a reducing agent, the high extraction of these metals could be obtained. Different from general leaching experiment, the extraction rates of metal components were decreased with increasing reaction temperature in this case. Under the optimum condition, the extraction rates of Mn, Co and Fe were 93.0%, 87.0% and 100% respectively.
