철을 이용한 반응벽체 (permeable reactive barrier, PRBs) 기술은 유기 화합물로 오염된 지하수를 환원적 반응에 의해 정화시키는 공법이다. 벽체의 매질로 주로 사용되는 영가 철은 반응이 진행됨에 따라 점차 2가 및 3가 철로 산화되어 제거능이 점차 저감된다. 자연계에 존재하거나 동정된 철 환원 박테리아는 산화된 Fe(III)를 Fe(II)로 환원시키는 능력을 가지고 있으며 이와 같이 환원된 Fe(II)는 반응 표면적을 넓히고 다시 할로겐 유기 화합물을 환원적으로 제거할 수 있도록 한다. 본 연구는 철 환원 박테리아로 순수균인 Shewanella algae BrY에 의한 산화철의 환원 경향을 aqueous phase와 solid phase로 나누어 관찰하고 환원된 철이 TCE 제거에 미치는 영향을 iron(II,III) oxide와 iron(III) oxide를 대상으로 하여 파악하는 것을 목표로 하였다. 박테리아는 배지 내에 존재하는 Fe(III)를 우선적으로 사용하여 Fe(II)로 환원시켰으며 선택성은 떨어지지만 입자상의 산화철 표면에 존재하는 Fe(III)도 환원시켰다. 또한 동량의 산화철이 존재할 때 iron(II,III) oxide에 비해 박테리아가 전자수용체로 사용할 수 있는 Fe(III)가 풍부한 iron(III) oxide의 환원이 더 잘 일어남을 알 수 있었고, 환원된 Fe(II)는 박테리아 또는 다른 철 산화물과 침전을 형성하였으며 TCE와의 반응속도 및 제거 능력을 향상시키는 것으로 판단된다.

울릉도에서 7곳의 항구(천부항, 현포항, 태하항, 남양항, 사동항, 도동항, 저동항)와 1곳의 해변(구암)에서 표층해수를 채취하였다. 배양하지 않은 시료(uncultured samples)와 배양한 시료(cultured samples)에서 각각 미생물의 16S rDNA를 pyrosequencing하여 해양미생물의 분포를 조사하였다. 태하항과 사동항의 해수처럼 청정한 해수에서는 Alphaproteobacteria 분포율이 높았고, 남양항, 도동항, 저동항의 해수처럼 생활하수나 하천수의 유입이 많은 곳에서는 Gammaproteobacteria 분포율이 증가하였다. Marine broth로 배양한 시료(cultured samples)에서는 Alteromonas (천부항, 태하항, 구암해변, 남양항, 사동항), Shewanella (저동항), Vibrio (현포항, 도동항) 속이 우점으로 분포하였다. 본 연구결과는 항구로 유입되는 하천수나 생활하수가 해양미생물의 분포에 큰 변화를 초래한다는 것을 시사한다.

The most energy-demanding step of wastewater treatment is the aeration-dependent elimination of organic carbon. Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) offer an alternative strategy in which carbon elimination is conducted by anaerobic microorganisms that transport respiratory electrons originating from carbon oxidation to an anode. Hence, chemical energy is directly transformed into electrical energy. In this study, the use and stability of barcode-containing exoelectrogenic model biofilms under non-axenic wastewater treatment conditions are described. Genomic barcodes were integrated in Shewanella oneidensis, Geobacter sulfurreducens, and G. metallireducens. These barcodes are unique for each strain and allow distinction between those cells and naturally occurring wild types as well as quantification of the amount of cells in a biofilm via multiplex qPCR. MFCs were pre-incubated with these three strains, and after 6 days the anodes were transferred into MFCs containing synthetic wastewater with 1% wastewater sludge. Over time, the system stabilized and the coulomb efficiency was constant. Overall, the initial synthetic biofilm community represented half of the anodic population at the end of the experimental timeline. The part of the community that contained a barcode was dominated by G. sulfurreducens cells (61.5%), while S. oneidensis and G. metallireducens cells comprised 10.5% and 17.9%, respectively. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to describe the stability of a synthetic exoelectrogenic consortium under non-axenic conditions. The observed stability offers new possibilities for the application of synthetic biofilms and synthetically engineered organisms fed with non-sterile waste streams.

동두천과 반월공단에서 87가지의 균주를 분리하였다. 그 중 5가지 균주가 색도 제거율이 우수함을 보였으며, 동정을 통해 Shewanella putrefaciens, Aeromonas salmonicida(서로 다른 3종), Pseudomonas vesicularis로 각각 동정되었다. 동정된 5종의 미생물들은 성장에 최적인 pH와 온도는 각각 7.0과 30$^{\circ}C$이었으며, Gram negative, catalase nagative, rod shape, 그리고 비운동성을 보였다. 500 mL 플라스크에서 분리된 균주 중 단일균주를 사용하여 염색폐수를 처리한 경우 약 35%의색도 제거율을 보였다. 2균주를 조합하여 적용하였을 때는, 색도 제거율이 65%까지 증가한 반면, 3균주 조합 혹은 그 이상의 균주 조합에서는 2균주 조합보다 더 좋은 효율은 보이지 않았다. 염색폐수 분해시 $Mn^{2+},\;Fe^{3+}$와 같은 중금속의 영향을 조사하였는데, 70 ppm 이하의 농도에서는 별로 영향을 주지 않았다.

We have isolated numerous cold deep-sea adapted microorganisms (piezophilic, formerly referred to as "barophilic" bacteria) using deep-sea research submersibles. Many of the isolates are novel psychrophilic bacteria, and we have identified several new piezophilic species, i.e., Photobacterium profundum, Shewanella violacea, Moritella japonica, Moritella yayanosii, Psychromonas kaikoi, and Colwellia piezophila. These piezophiles are involving to five genera in gamma-Proteobacteria subgroup and produce significant amounts of unsaturated fatty acids in their cell membrane fractions to maintain the membrane fluidity in cold and high-pressure environments. Piezophilic microorganisms have been identified in many deep-sea bottoms of many of the world oceans. Therefore, these microbes are well distributed on our planet. One of the isolated deep-sea piezophiles, Shewanella violacea strain DSS12 is a psychrophilic, moderately piezophilic bacterium from a sediment sample collected at the Ryukyu Trench (depth: 5,110 m), which grows optimally at 30 MPa and $8^{\circ}C$ but also grows at atmospheric pressure (0.1 MPa) and $8^{\circ}C$. We have examined this strain to elucidate the molecular basis for gene regulation at different pressure conditions because this strain is useful as a model bacterium for comparing the various features of bacterial physiology under pressure conditions. In addition, we completed the sequencing of the entire genome of this piezophilic bacterium and we expect that many biotechnologically useful genes will be identified from the genome information.

The bacterial uranium(VI) reduction and its resultant low solubility make this process an attractive option for removing U from groundwater. An impact of aqueous suspending iron phase, which is redox sensitive and ubiquitous in subsurface groundwater, on the U(VI) bioreduction by Shewanella putrefaciens CN32 was investigated. In our batch experiment, the U(VI) concentration ($5{\times}10^5M$) gradually decreased to a non-detectable level during the microbial respiration. However, when Fe(III) phase was suspended in solution, bioreduction of U(VI) was significantly suppressed due to a preferred reduction of Fe(III) instead of U(VI). This shows that the suspending amorphous Fe(III) phase can be a strong inhibitor to the U(VI) bioreduction. On the contrary, when iron was present as a soluble Fe(II) in the solution, the U(VI) removal was largely enhanced. The microbially-catalyzed U(VI) reduction resulted in an accumulation of solid-type U particles in and around the cells. Electron elemental investigations for the precipitates show that some background cations such as Ca and P were favorably coprecipitated with U. This implies that aqueous U tends to be stabilized by complexing with Ca or P ions, which easily diffuse and coprecipitate with U in and around the microbial cell.

We demonstrated that reductive degradation of 2,4,6-Trinitrotoluene (TNT) and hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (Royal Demolition Explosive, RDX) can be enhanced by bio-reduced iron-bearing soil minerals (IBSMs) using Shewanella putrefaciens CN32 (CN32). The degradation kinetic rate constant of TNT by bio-reduced magnetite was the highest (0.0039 $h^{-1}$), followed by green rust (0.0022 $h^{-1}$), goethite (0.0017 $h^{-1}$), lepidocrocite (0.0016 $h^{-1}$), and hematite (0.0006 $h^{-1}$). The highest rate constant was obtained by bio-reduced lepidocrocite (0.1811 $h^{-1}$) during RDX degradation, followed by magnetite (0.1700 $h^{-1}$), green rust (0.0757 $h^{-1}$), hematite (0.0495 $h^{-1}$), and goethite (0.0394 $h^{-1}$). Significant increase of Fe(II) was observed during the reductive degradation of TNT and RDX by bio-reduced IBSMs. X-ray diffraction and electron microscope analyses were conducted for identification of degradation mechanism of TNT and RDX in this study. 4-amino-dinitrotoluene were detected as products during TNT degradation, while Hexahydro-1-nitroso-3,5-dinitro-1,3,5-triazine, Hexahydro-1,3-dinitroso-5-nitro-1,3,5triazine, and Hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitroso-1,3,5-triazine were observed during RDX degradation.
