To evaluate the influence of 3A zeolite on the flame retardant properties of poplar plywood. Ammonium polyphosphate (APP) and 3A zeolite were used as flame retardants to prepare plywood samples. The combustion properties, such as heat release rate (HRR), total heat release (THR), mean CO and $CO_2$ yield, smoke production rate (SPR), and total smoke production (TSP), were characterized by a cone calorimeter. A synergistic effect was observed between 3A zeolite and APP on reducing the HRR and mean CO yield. The probable flame retardation mechanism was proposed.

A sequencing batch reactor (SBR) was operated under different pH conditions to better understand the influence of pH to granulation in enhanced biological phosphorus removal systems. Granules from the SBR were also investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). Considerable decreases in the amount of phosphorus released per substrate provided under anaerobic conditions and the content of biomass polyphosphate under aerobic conditions were observed when pH was changed from 7.5 to 7.0, followed by 6.5. Aerobic granulation was also observed at pH 7.0. A number of bacteria with the typical morphological traits of tetrad-forming organisms (TFOs) were observed at pH 7.0, including large members of cluster. Filamentous bacteria were also there in large numbers. The occurrence and growth of granules were further enhanced at pH 6.5. A SEM analysis showed that the aerobic granules had a compact microbial structure with shaperical shape and morphologically consisted of aggregates of small coccoid bacteria and filamentous bacteria encapsulated by extracellular polymeric substance. The main material ions identified by EDX moreover revealed that the structural materials for polyphosphate in the granules include phosphorus, potassium and calcium. Therefore, these results strongly suggested that PAOs are a dominant population in the microbial community of the aerobic granules.

냉동변성 방지제가 닭가슴살 수리미의 품질 특성에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위하여 대조구는 2회 수세한 명태수리미를 활용하여 C(4% 설탕＋5% 솔비톨＋0.3% 인산염 첨가), 나머지 처리구들은 pH(11.0) 조절법으로 제조한 닭가슴살 수리미를 활용하여 T1(0.3% 인산염 첨가), T2(5% 솔비톨＋0.3% 인산염 첨가) 및 T3(4% 설탕＋5% 솔비톨＋0.3% 인산염 첨가) 처리구로 하여 시험한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 대조구가 처리구들에 비해 모든 아미노산, FAA, SAAA, FRAA, EAA 및 총 아미노산 함량이 높았고, 처리구 간에는 T2 처리구가 T1과 T3 처리구에 비해 높은 함량을 보였다. 전단가는 모든 처리구들이 대조구에 비해 현저하게 높았고, 처리구 간에는 T2 처리구가 T1와 T3 처리구에 비해 높았다. 파괴강도, 변형값 및 겔강도는 대조구가 모든 처리구들에 비해 높았다. 저장기간 동안 모든 처리구의 TBARS값은 0.09~0.48mg/100g으로 대조구의 1.57~1.97mg/ 100g에 비해 현저하게 낮았고, 처리구 간에는 T2 처리구가 가장 낮은 값을 나타내었다. VBN값은 모든 처리구들이 대조구에 비해 낮았다. 관능평가에서 외관, 육색 및 전체적 기호도는 대조구가 모든 처리구들에 비해 높은 점수를 받았지만, 풍미, 다즙성 및 연도는 모든 처리구들이 대조구에 비해 높은 점수를 받았다. 냉동변성제와 닭가슴살을 이용한 수리미는 어육 수리미에 비해 외관과 전체적 기호도 점수가 낮았지만, 조직감, TBARS 및 VBN 값이 낮아 좀 더 연구가 이루어진다면 부가가치가 있는 제품 개발 가능성이 있는 것으로 판단된다.

명태연육 냉동변성을 억제할 수 있는 냉동변성방지제의 적정량을 알아보기 위하여 crystalline sorbitol을 비롯한 세가지의 변성방지제 및 sorbitol/sucrose 혼합제제를 첨가하 여 $-25^{\circ}C$에서 16주간 저장했을 때의 단백질품질 변화를 실험하였다. $8\%$ 수준의 sucrose-sorbitol 혼합제제(1:1, w/w)를 $0.2\%$ Na-pyrophosphate/ Na-triphosphate(1:1)와 병용하였을 때 drip loss가 가장 적었으며, 염용성단백질량은 가장 많았다. 또한 혼합제제를 사용했을 때는 trypsin inhibitor량, 단백질소화율 및 단백효율비의 변화가 거의 없어 단백질품질 보전에 효과적이었으나, 냉동변성방지제를 처리하지 않았을 경우에는 단백효율비와 소화율은 급격히 떨어졌었다. Polyphosphate나 maltodextrin의 경우에는 처리 농도가 증가하여도 소화율저하 방지에는 별효과가 없었으나, $4{\sim}6\%$의 sorbitol, 또는 $10\%$수준의 sucrose는 polyphosphate를 병용하지 않아도 소화율저하는 효과적으로 막을 수 있었다. $8\%$ 수준의 sorbitol/sucrose 혼합제제(5:3, w/w)처리가 소화율 보전효과로 볼 때 냉동연육의 단백질품질저하 방지에 가장 효과적이었다.

A 1,989-bp genomic region encoding nickel resistance genes was isolated from Legionella pneumophila, a pathogen for legionellosis. From a sequencing and computer analysis, the region was found to harbor two structural genes, a nreB-like protein gene (1,149 bp) and a nreA-like protein gene (270 bp), in a row. Both genes exhibited a significant degree of similarity to the corresponding genes from Synechocystis sp. PCC6803 ($54\%$ amino acid sequence identity) and Achromobacter xylosoxidans 31A ($76\%$). The gene was successfully expressed in E. coli MG1655 and conferred a nickel resistance of up to 5 mM in an LB medium and 3 mM in a TMS medium including gluconate as the sole carbon source. E. coli harboring the nickel resistance gene also exhibited a substantial resistance to cobalt, yet no resistance to cadmium or zinc. Since the extracellular concentration of nickel remained constant during the whole period of cultivation, it was confirmed that the nickel resistance was provided by an efflux system like the $Ni^2＋$permease (nrsD) of Synechocystis sp. strain PCC6803. Since polyphosphate (poly-P) is known as a global regulator for gene expression as well as a potential virulence factor in E. coli, the nickel resistance of a ppk mutant of E. coli MG 1655 harboring the nickel resistance gene from L. pneumophila was compared with that of its parental strain. The nickel resistance was significantly attenuated by ppk inactivation, which was more pronounced in an LB medium than in a TMS medium.

Objective: This study was conducted to determine catalytic properties of wheat phytase with exopolyphosphatase activity toward medium-chain and long-chain inorganic polyphosphate (polyP) substrates for comparative purpose. Methods: Exopolyphosphatase assay of wheat phytase toward polyP75 (medium-chain polyP with average 75 phosphate residues) and polyP1150 (long-chain polyP with average 1150 phosphate residues) was performed at pH 5.2 and pH 7.5. Its activity toward these substrates was investigated in the presence of Mg²⁺, Ni²⁺, Co²⁺, Mn²⁺, or ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA). Michaelis constant (K_m) and maximum reaction velocity (V_max) were determined from Lineweaver-Burk plot with polyP75 or polyP1150. Monophosphate esterase activity toward p-nitrophenyl phosphate (pNPP) was assayed in the presence of polyP75 or polyP1150. Results: Wheat phytase dephosphorylated polyP75 and polyP1150 at pH 7.5 more effectively than that at pH 5.2. Its exopolyphosphatase activity toward polyP75 at pH 5.2 was 1.4-fold higher than that toward polyP1150 whereas its activity toward polyP75 at pH 7.5 was 1.4-fold lower than that toward polyP1150. Regarding enzyme kinetics, K_m for polyP75 was 1.4-fold lower than that for polyP1150 while V_max for polyP1150 was 2-fold higher than that for polyP75. The presence of Mg²⁺, Ni²⁺, Co²⁺, Mn²⁺, or EDTA (1 or 5 mM) exhibited no inhibitory effect on its activity toward polyP75. Its activity toward polyP1150 was inhibited by 1 mM of Ni²⁺ or Co²⁺ and 5 mM of Ni²⁺, Co²⁺, or Mg²⁺. Ni²⁺ inhibited its activity toward polyP1150 the most strongly among tested additives. Both polyP75 and polyP1150 inhibited the monophosphate esterase activity of wheat phytase toward pNPP in a dose-dependent manner. Conclusion: Wheat phytase with an unexpected exopolyphosphatase activity has potential as a therapeutic tool and a next-generational feed additive for controlling long-chain polyP-induced inappropriate inflammation from Campylobacter jejuni and Salmonella typhimurium infection in public health and animal husbandry.

본 연구에서는 WPC의 열안정성을 향상시키기 위해 폴리프로펠렌 매트릭스에 목분과 폴리인산염(ammonium polyphosphate, APP)의 삼종혼합 후, 목분과 난연제 첨가에 따른 목재플라스틱 복합재(wood plastic composites, WPC)의 열분해 거동이 조사되었다. 모든 배합비의 WPC 열분해 거동은 질소의 환경에서 분당 $10^{\circ}C$ 상승속도로 제어하여 열중량분석기(Thermogravimetric analyzer)를 통해 분석하였다. 목분의 열분해온도가 PP의 열분해온도 보다 낮기 때문에 목분에 의해 생성된 char막은 PP로의 열전달 속도를 낮추며, 2차 열분해온도 증가 및 열분해속도를 늦춘다. APP를 첨가한 WPC의 경우 1차 열분해온도 감소 및 2차 열분해온도의 증가를 보여준다. 목분의 함량이 높은 WPC의 경우, APP 첨가 시 1차 열분해온도 감소 및 2차 열분해속도가 증가하였고, 고온에서 잔여물의 양은 APP 함량이 증가할수록 크게 증가하였다. APP가 첨가된 WPC 경우, 목분의 함량이 10 wt%에서 50 wt%로 증가 시 고온에서 잔여물 양이 증가하였는데, 이는 APP 및 목질섬유의 char화가 동시에 발생되기 때문으로 보이며 결과적으로 목분 함량이 증가할수록 APP의 효과가 높게 나타나 열안정 효과를 관찰할 수 있었다.

Eliminating the infecting bacteria of the root canal system and preventing reinfection must be the main objectives of all endodontic works. None of commercially available root canal sealers have the properties of desirable tissue compatibility and strong antibacterial activity. The purpose of this study is to develope an ideal root canal sealer using commercially available polyphosphate (polyP), Calgon, which is known to be antibacterial and safe. For the study. resin type AH26, zinc oxide eugenol type Tubli Seal. Ca(OH)$_2$ type Apexit as base sealers for polyP (0~3%) and para formaldehyde containing N2 as a control base were selected. Specimens (3$\times$4mm) of the sealers were prepared in a 37$^{\circ}C$ incubator for 3 and 10 days and their antibacterial activity against streptococci and black pigmented anaerobic rods was observed using an agar diffusion method. The result were as follows: 1. Among 3 day old root canal sealers. N2 as a positive control showed the strongest antibacterial effect. followed by AH26. Tubli Seal and. Apexit which barely showed antibacterial activity against the test bacteria. In contrast. 10 day old AH26 showed a greater antibacterial activity than 10 day old N2. 2. All sealer specimens showed a greater antibacterial activity against black pigmented anaerobic rods than streptococci. Three day old ones appeared to be more antibacterial than 10 day old ones except for Apexit. 3. As compared to N2, 3 day old AH26 demonstrated a similar antibacterial activity against black pig mented anaerobic rods but to a lesser extent to streptococci. Ten day old AH26 showed a greater antibacterial activity against black pigmented anaerobic rods than 10 day old N2. 4. As compared to AH26. Tubli Seal generally revealed a lower antibacterial activity but it showed a greater antibacterial activity aginst S. gordonii Challis. 5. Enhancement of antibacterial activity by polyP was more clearly observed when it was added to Ca(OH)$^{\circ}C$ based root canal sealers. Tubli Seal and N2. 6. The addition of polyP enhanced the antibacterial activity of 3 day old AH26 against S. gordonii G9B (16%) and Challis (29%), and P. gingivalis 2561 (24%) only. Moreover, polyP failed to increase antibacterial activity of 10 day old AH26 against the test strains but P. gingivalis A7A1 28(13%). 7. The addition of polyP increased the antibacterial effect of 3 day old Tubli Seal on several test bacteria including s. mutans GS 5 (50%). s. gordonii G9B (47%) and Challis (122%). and all the test strains of P. gingivalis (13~35%) except for 9 14K 1. The addition of polyP to 10 day old Tubli Seal increased antibacterial activity of the root canal sealer against most test strains. 8. 3 day old Apexit failed to show antibacterial activity. if any very little against S. mutans GS 5 and Pr. intermedia ATCC 49046. However. polyP increased its antibacterial activity by 50 and 69%, respectively. Increase of antibacterial activity of 10 day old Apexit by polyP was more clearly observed than that of 3 day old one.

난연 의류는 화염 및 고온 환경 속에서 착용자의 원활한 임무 수행을 돕고 추가적인 피해 확산을 방지한다. 그러나 기존 난연 의류의 높은 중량과 열 피로도는 개선이 필요하며, 친환경적인 방법으로 제작된 가볍고 편리한 난연 의류 개발이 요구되고 있다. 최근 인을 함유한 난연 물질 코팅으로 섬유에 난연성을 부여한 사례가 보고되고 있으나 이들은 국내외 방화복 및 난연 전투복 기준에 적합한 수준으로 발전될 필요성이 있다. 본 연구에서는 깊은 용융 용매로 기능성화된 산화 그래핀과 폴리인산암모늄을 동시에 섬유에 코팅하는 친환경적인 대량생산 공정을 제시한다. 코팅된 섬유는 열무게 분석(Thermogravimetric analysis), 수직불꽃저항성 시험(ASTM D6413), 콘칼로리미터법(ISO 5660-1), 한계 불꽃 확신 속도 시험(ISO 15025)으로 열 안정성 및 난연성이 시험되었다. 기능성화 산화그래핀과 폴리인산암모늄이 동시에 코팅된 직물은 단일 물질 코팅 직물보다 우수한 난연성을 보였고, 연소 이후에도 탄화된 부분의 팽창 효과로 섬유의 형상을 유지하는 것이 관찰되었다. 난연 직물의 세탁 안정성을 위해 추가적인 발수 처리 또한 시도되었다.

토양 및 수계에 집적, 유입되어 있는 과다한 인산의 제거에 이용 가능한 미생물 자원을 확보하기 위하여 활성오니에서 분리된 Acinetobacter lwoffi PO8의 배양조건 및 외부환경조건에 따른 인산흡수 양상을 조사하였다. 배양액 내 초기 pH가 $7.5{\sim}8.5$ 범위에서 균생육과 인산흡수율이 가장 높았으며, 탄소원으로 glycerol 및 arabinose을 첨가하였을 경우 각각 약 93 및 91%의 높은 인산 흡수율을 보였다. 질소원 형태에 따른 인산흡수양상은 아미노태 보다 암모늄염이 효과적이었으며, 특히, $NH_4NO_3$,와 $(NH_4)_2SO_4$가 각각 95와 96%의 인산흡수율을 나타냈다. 금속이온 중에서 $Co^{2+}$ 첨가 시 균생육이 제해되었으나, 이외의 다른 금속이온은 균의 성장 및 인산흡수에 큰영향을 미치지 않았다. 아미노산 중 arginine, methionine 및 lysine 등은 아미노산을 첨가하지 않은 경우보다 $10{\sim}20%$ 더 높은 인산흡수율을 나타냈었으며, 이때 배양기간 중 glucose의 공급으로 배지 중 잔존 인산이 완전히 제거되었다. 또한 $^{32}P$를 사용하여 균의 인산 분포를 조사한 결과로 세포내 흡수된 인산은 대부분 세포의 원형질 내에 polyphosphate의 형태로 분포되어 있었다.
