An endosulfan degrading bacterial strain, K-1321, was isolated by endosulfan-enrichment culture from a seaside sediment collected at Dadaepo Beach, Busan, Korea. The strain was identified as a Serratia sp. based on the results of morphological, biochemical and 16S rDNA homology analyses. Serratia sp. K-1321 was able to completely degrade 50 ppm endosulfan in culture media and soil within 6 weeks at $25^{\circ}C$. GC/MS analysis revealed that endosulfan diol was an intermediate of the bacterial endosulfan degradation. Considering the above results, we concluded that Serratia sp. K-1321 utilized endosulfan as a carbon source and metabolized endosulfan via a less toxic pathway, such as the formation of endosulfan diol as an intermediate.

Chloroanilines are aromatic amines used as intermediate products in the synthesis of herbicides, azo-dyes, and pharmaceuticals. 3,4-dichloroaniline (DCA) is the degradation product of some herbicides (diuron, propanil, and linuron) and of trichlorocarbanilide, a chemical used as an active agent in the cosmetic industry. The compound, however, is considered a potential pollutant due to its toxicity and recalcitrant property to humans and other species. With the increasing necessity for bioremediation, we sought to isolate bacteria that degraded 3,4-DCA. A bacterium capable of growth on 3,4-DCA as the sole carbon source was isolated from seaside sediment using a dilution method with a culture enriched in 3,4-DCA. The isolated strain, YM-7 was identified to be Pseudomonas sp. The isolated strain was also able to degrade other chloroaniline compounds. The isolated strain showed a high level of catechol 2,3-dioxygenase activity on exposure to 3,4-DCA, suggesting that this enzyme is an important factor in 3,4-DCA degradation. The activity toward 4-methylcatechol was 53.1% that of catechol, while the activity toward 3-methylcatechol, 4-chlorocatechol and 4,5-chlorocatechol was 18.1, 33.1, and 6.9%, respectively.

남해연안 갯벌 속에 있는 무기원소들의 정량을 위해 중성자 방사화 분석법과 ICP-AES를 적용하였다. 중성자 방사화 분석법과 ICP=AES에 의하여 얻어진 Al, Ca, Fe, Mg, K, Na의 분석결과들을 상호 비교하였다. 결과적으로 침전물 중의 미량 원소를 분석하는데 ICP-AES보다 중성자 방사화 분석법이 더 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 중성자 방사화 분석법은 갯벌과 같은 복잡한 모체를 갖는 환결시료들의 분석헤서 중요한 역할을 할 것이다.

This study discusses characteristic of spatiotemporal changes of the sand barrier in the Nakdong estuarine for the last century, focusing on geomarphologic evolution and mobility of sand barriers in the view of coastal engineering. The Nakdong estuarine, the research subject, has a complexly changing natural environment by interaction between ground and marine elements such as ocean wave, tidal current, sediment, etc. Moreover, recently, unnatural geomorphologic changes (e.g., seaside reclamation, new harbor construction, etc.) has been radically increased in this area with increasing desire for coastal development. Because of this, its sand barrier has developed quite unstable condition. Therefore, to identify the development process of geomorphologic changes in this area, required is a close examination on historical characteristics of spatiotemporal changes of the sand barrier in relation to surrounding seaside reclamation and physical environmental changes. This study, based on the marine charts published in between 1927 and 1995 year, analyzes the length and area of the sand barrier for the last hundred years, and investigates the cause of the changes by looking into the change of water depth for the last two years and doing ocean-physical site observations. In conclusion, the sand barrier of the Nakdong estuarine expands toward the open sea by $7.4{\sim}26m$ in annual average, maintaining a fixed distance of $1,241{\sim}1.279m$, and its area is expected to increase about $2.8km^2$ annually. This is characterized by the wocean wave from the open sea and the discharge of Nakdong River.

This study aimed at verifying the grain-sized distribution of surface deposits in a tidal flat using multi-spectral Landsat TM. In this study, we employed the grain-sized analysis, PCA and unsupervised classification techniques for analyzing the distribution of deposits. As a result in this study, the unsupervised classification method using PCA image was found to be most useful in classifying tidal flat deposits using satellite data. This method is considerably effective in analyzing not only the aspects of distribution in terms of accumulated deposits and erosion, but also the changes in seaside topography and shoreline. The grain-sized distribution analysis indicates that the mud flat inside the Cheonsu-bay tidal flat is distributed, the mixed flat located in the middle, and the sand flat distributed near the sea. The sand flat is dominant around the southern part of Seomot isle and its beach. On the other hand, the mud and mixed flat is dominant on the western part. Likewise, the western coast of Seomot isle and its beach is significantly affected by waves facing the offshore. However, the eastern side of the bay could be a site for the evolution of tidal flat made of fine materials where it is less affected by ocean waves. These results show that multi-spectral satellite data are effective for the classification of distribution materials and environmental impact assessment and continuous monitoring. In particular, the research on environmental deposits can provide important decision-supporting information for decision-making on seaside development, by analyzing the progress of deposits and environmental changes.

칠면초는 서해안에서 쉽게 볼 수 있는 염생식물 중 하나이다. 이런 염생식물들은 유입되는 퇴적물의 고착능력을 향상시켜 해안 습지의 수직적인 발달에 영향을 준다. 또한 조간대의 탈염화가 지속적으로 진행이 되면 염생식물의 서식지는 염분이 상대적으로 높은 해안 쪽으로 나가게 된다. 이런 염생식물 서식지의 대상분포변화는 조간대의 육지화 현상을 이해할 수 있는 환경 요소가 된다. 본 연구에서는 이런 염생식물의 분광특성을 알아보기 위하여 현장조사를 통해 강화도 남단에 위치한 동검도 주변에서 염생식물인 칠면초와 갈대, 퇴적물의 반사도를 측정하였다. 이렇게 측정된 반사도에 미분을 하여 연안의 다른 식생이나 방조제 같은 인위적인 구조물과 구별이 되는 반사도 특징을 알아보았다. 그 결과 칠면초의 경우 600-650nm가 적색반사도 피크영역이, 갈대의 경우 500-570nm가 녹색반사도 피크 영역이 존재함을 알 수 있었다. 퇴적물의 경우 클로로필에 의한 흡수대가 존재하지 않고 350-550nm까지 지속적으로 증가하고 그 스펙트럼이 칠면초나 갈대와 확연히 달라 쉽게 구별됨을 알 수 있었다.
