오염토양에 유류분해능을 가진 Nocardia sp. H17-1의 접종시 고려되어야 할 인자중 하나인 초기 오염농도에 의한 탄화수소분해능과 초기 접종농도에 의한 분해능 및 균주의 생육을 조사하였다. H17-1은 실험 50일 동안 초기 오염농도 10, 50, 100 g Arabian light oil/kg of soil에 대해 각각 78.5%, 94.3%, 53.2%의 탄화수소를 제거하였으며, 오염농도가 높을수록 분해속도 상수(k) 낮아졌다. $CO_2$의 생성량 또한 오염농도가 높을수록 증가하였으나, 100 g/kg-soil의 오염농도에서는 균의 생육이 저해를 받는 것으로 나타났다. H17-1의 초기 접종농도에 의한 영향은 균의 접종량에 따라 최종 남은 TPH의 양은 큰 차이를 나타내지 않았으나, 분해속도상수(k)는 균의 접종량이 늘어남에 따라 크게 증가되었으며, $CO_2$의 생성량 또한 균의 접종농도에 따라 증가하였다.

Bioremediation, which uses microbes to degrade most organic pollutants in soil and groundwater, can be used in solving environmental issues in various polluted sites. In this research, a wind-driven bioventing system is built to degrade about 20,000 mg/kg of high concentration diesel pollutants in soil-pollution mode. The wind-driven bioventing test was proceeded by the bioaugmentation method, and the indigenous microbes used were Bacillus cereus, Achromobacter xylosoxidans, and Pseudomonas putida. The phenomenon of two-stage diesel degradation of different rates was noted in the test. In order to interpret the results of the mode test, three microbes were used to degrade diesel pollutants of same high concentration in separated aerated batch-mixing vessels. The data derived thereof was input into the Haldane equation and calculated by non-linear regression analysis and trial-and-error methods to establish the kinetic parameters of these three microbes in bioventing diesel degradation. The results show that in the derivation of μ_m (maximum specific growth rate) in biodegradation kinetics parameters, K_s (half-saturation constant) for diesel substance affinity, and K_i (inhibition coefficient) for the adaptability of high concentration diesel degradation. The K_s is the lowest in the trend of the first stage degradation of Bacillus cereus in a high diesel concentration, whereas K_i is the highest, denoting that Bacillus cereus has the best adaptability in a high diesel concentration and is the most efficient in diesel substance affinity. All three microbes have a degradation rate of over 50% with regards to Pristane and Phytane, which are branched alkanes and the most important biological markers.

유류오염은 우리나라의 대표적인 토양 비점오염원으로 알려져 있으며, 이를 정화하는 토양의 능력은 토양 자원의 기능적 가치 평가에서 매우 유의하다. 특히 절/성토 설계 등의 친환경 건설기술 측면에서 토양의 유류오염정화능력을 평가하는 것은 중요하다. 그러나 마이크로코즘 실험을 포함한 기존의 토양 유류 오염정화능력 평가기법은 경제적, 시간적인 제약이 많아 광범위한 지역에 적용하기 어렵다. 이에 본 연구에서는 유류 오염물질 중 가솔린의 대표적 오염물질인 톨루엔을 선정하여 쉽고 간편하게 측정할 수 있는 토양의 미생물 다양성 지표를 이용, 토양의 유류오염 정화능력을 평가하는 기법을 제시하였다. 연구를 통해 미생물 군집의 다양성 지표 중 Shannon index가 토양의 정화능력 인자인 Specific Degradation Rate ($V_{max}$)와 상관성 관계가 있음을 보였고, 두 인자 간의 상관식을 도출할 수 있었다. 또한 본 상관식을 Michaelis-Menten kinetics에 적용하여 미생물 다양성 인자만으로 토양의 톨루엔 정화능력을 평가할 수 있는 기법을 제시하였다. 본 기법을 통해 간단히 토양의 톨루엔 정화능력을 평가할 수 있으며, 친환경 건설기술분야와 같은 다양한 공학적 분야에 광범위하게 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

살균제 $^{14}C$-propiconazole의 토심별 분해를 멸균 및 비멸균 조건의 토양에서 조사하였다. Propiconazole을 토양에 7.55 mg/kg의 수준으로 처리한 후 배양기간 동안 발생된 $^{14}CO_{}2$ 양, 유기용매 추출 및 추출불가 잔류량, 그리고 분해산물을 등을 조사하였다. 배양기간 20주 동안 방출된 약제의 $^{14}CO_{2}$는 멸균 토양의 경우 토심에 따라 $0.7{\sim}1.3%$ 수준이었으며 비멸균 토양의 경우 $4.8{\sim}7.6%$이었다. 토양중 유기용매 추출불가 방사능은 멸균 토양의 경우 토심에 따라 $11.2{\sim}22.12%$ 수준이었으며 비멸균 토양의 경우 $22.1{\sim}41.9%$로서 비멸균 토양에서 더 높았다. 토양중 추출불가 잔류량은 주로 humin에 분포하였으며 배양시간에 따라 증가하였다. 토양중 propiconazole의 주요 분해산물은 수산화 치환된 형태 및 ketone성 화합물이었으며 멸균 토양에서는 모화합물만이 검출되었다. Propiconazole의 토양중 휘발성 물질 및 $CO_{2}$ 생성량과 잔류 및 분해특성은 이 화합물이 화학적 및 생물학적 분해에 안정함을 시사하였다.

Seven soil samples were collected from paddy fields located nearby Nagoya city in Japan. All the soils were subjected to flooded condition and incubated with PCP at $30^{\circ}C$ for two months, and their anaerobic PCP degradation have been monitored by checking the PCP concentration of the soils at regular intervals. The degradation of PCP did not occur in the soils autoclaved two times before pre-incubation. On the other hand, all the soils showed significant PCP degradation in non-sterilized condition after 30 days of incubation, except far one soil sample (Yatomi), in which PCP was rarely degraded until 30 days of incubation. This result showed PCP disappearance in the pad(rf soils was mainly caused by microbiological activity, and depended upon the physicochemical characteristics of the soils.

We evaluated the activity and abundance of the crude-oil-degrading bacterium Nocardia sp. H17-1 during bioremediation of oil-contaminated soil, using real-time PCR. The total petroleum hydrocarbon(TPH) degradation rate constants(k) of the soils treated with and without H17-1 were $0.103\;d^{-1}$ and $0.028\;d^{-1}$ respectively. The degradation rate constant was 3.6 times higher in the soil with H17-1 than in the soil without H17-1. In order to detect and quantify the Nocardia sp. H17-1 in soil samples, we quantified the genes encoding 16S ribosomal RNA(16S rRNA), alkane monooxygenase(alkB4), and catechol 2,3-dioxygenase(23CAT) with real-time PCR using SYBR green. The amounts of H17-1 16S rRNA and alkB4 detected increased rapidly up to 1,000-folds for the first 10 days, and then continued to increase only slightly or leveled off. However, the abundance of the 23CAT gene detected in H17-1-treated soil, where H17-1 had neither the 23CAT gene for the degradation of aromatic hydrocarbons nor the catechol 2,3-dioxygenase activity, did not differ significantly from that of the untreated soil($\alpha$=0.05,p>0.22). These results indicated that H17-1 is a potential candidate for the bioaugmentation of alkane-contaminated soil. Overall, we evaluated the abundance and metabolic activity of the bioremediation strain H17-1 using real-time PCR, independent of cultivation.

Hemoglobin (Hb) is a member of heme-protein that can perform catalytic non-specific chain reaction in the presence of hydrogen peroxide ($H_2O_2$). Catalytic ability of Hb to degrade pyrene was demonstrated using soil contaminated with $^{14}C$ pyrene and 10 mg pyrene /kg soil. The composition of soil was similar to previously used soil except that it had lower organic carbon content. Bench scale laboratory tests were conducted in the presence of buffer only, $H_2O_2$ only, or Hb with $H_2O_2$ for 24 h. After 24 h reaction, 0.1 and 1.3% of $^{14}C$ pyrene in contaminated soil were mineralized with $H_2O_2$ only or Hb plus $H_2O_2$. No mineralization to $^{14}CO_2$ was detected with buffer only. Approximately 12.2% of pyrene was degraded in the presence of $H_2O_2$ only while 44.0% of pyrene was degraded in the presence of Hb plus $H_2O_2$ during 24 h of catalytic reaction. When degradation intermediate products were examined, two chemicals were observed in the presence of $H_2O_2$ only while 25 chemicals were found in the presence of Hb plus $H_2O_2$. While most degradation products were simple hydrocarbons, four of the 27 chemicals had aromatic rings. However, none of these four chemicals was structurally related to pyrene. These results suggest that Hb catalytic system could be used to treat pyrene-contaminated soil as an efficient and speedy remediation technology. In addition, intermediate products generated by this system are not greatly affected by composition change in soil organic matter content.

A microorganism, Klebsiella gr. 47, capable of degrading BTX(benzene, toluene and xylene) was isolated from oil-contaminated soil and its characteristics of BTX degradation were investigated. When benzene and toluene were fed to Klebstella gr. 47 simulataneously, they showed competitive ingibition. The degradation rate of xylene was enhanced as much as 3 times when xylene was fed with benzene or toluene. Degradation rate of benzene and toluene was also enhanced by cocultured with Alcaligenes xylosoxidans. When benzene-adapted microorganism was used, each BTX compound was degraded efficiently within 5 hours.

In this work, cost effective venting is considered by comparing flow rates of 5$m\ell$/min, 10$m\ell$/min, and 20$m\ell$/min. Studies were performed on a soil artificially contaminated with diesel oil (the initial TPH(Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon) concentration of 7098mg/kg), and nutrient condition was C:N:P rate of 100:10:1. The soil has a sandy texture with pH of 6.8, 2.16 ~2.38% organic matter, a total porosity of 47~52% and field capacity 16.2~ 17.2%. The column experiments was made of glass column of 60cm length and 10cm I.D. at controlled temperature of 2$0^{\circ}C$($\pm$2.5$^{\circ}C$). The efficiency of continuous flow rate of 5, 10 and 20$m\ell$/min resulted in separately 61.3%, 58.1%, and 55% reduction of initial TPH concentration(7098mg/kg). Hydrocarbon utilizing microbial count and dehydrogenase activity in air flow of 5$m\ell$/min were higher than those of the others. The first order degradation rate of n-alkanes ranging from C10 to C28 was higher than that of pristane and phytane as isoprenoids. The $C_{17}$/pristane and $C_{18}$phytane ratios for monitoring the degree of biodegradation were useful only during the early stages of oil degradation. Degradation contributed from about 89% to 93% of TPH removal. Volatilization loss of diesel oil in contaminated soil was about 7% to 11%, which was significantly small compared to degradation.n.
