이 연구에서는 합성가스를 기질로 사용하는 Clostridium autoethanogenum 배양 공정에서 에탄올 생산성 향상을 위하여 배지 성분의 농도가 균주 성장과 에탄올 생산에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. C. autoethanogenum 배양에 사용되는 기본 배지 구성 성분 중 비타민 종류인 D-Ca-pantothenate, vitamin B₁₂와 황 공급원인 sodium sulfide를 조사 대상 성분으로 선정하여 이 성분들의 농도를 달리하였을 때 균주 성장과 에탄올 생산에 미치는 영향을 확인하였다. D-Ca-pantothenate는 0.5, 5, 50, 500 mg/L 농도를 시험하였으며 0.5 mg/L에서 에탄올 생산량이 약간 증가하는 경향을 보였지만 시험한 농도 범위에서 균주의 성장이나 에탄올 생산에 대한 주목할 만한 영향은 관찰되지 않았다. Vitamin B₁₂는 0.1, 1.0, 10, 100 mg/L의 농도범위에서 균주 성장과 에탄올 생산에 미치는 영향을 관찰하였으며, 0.1 mg/L 농도에서 에탄올 생산농도가 일반적 기본배지 농도인 10 mg/L에서보다 245% 증가되는 것을 확인하였다. Sodium sulfide는 0.5, 5, 10 g/L 농도범위에서 균주 성장과 에탄올 생산에 미치는 영향을 분석하였으며, 기본배지의 사용농도인 0.5 g/L을 초과하여 과잉 공급하였을 때, 균주 성장 저해 현상이 관찰되었다. 결과적으로 연구에 사용된 세 가지 배지 성분 중, D-Ca-pantothenate와 sodium sulfide는 배지 내 성분 농도에 따른 에탄올 생산농도 향상을 이루지 못하였으나, vitamin B₁₂는 기본 배지 내 일반적인 농도의 1/100을 사용함으로써 에탄올 생산농도 향상을 이룰 수 있었다.

A hydrogen sulfide $(H_2S)$ detecting tube was developed for the quantitative determination of $H_2S$ produced by yeast during laboratory scale wine fermentations. The detecting tube consisted of a small transparent plastic tube packed with an $H_2S$-sensitive color-indicating medium. The packed medium changed color, with the color change progressing upward from the bottom of the tube, upon exposure to $H_2S$ produced by yeast during fermentation. A calibration study using a standard $H_2S$ gas showed that the length of the portion that darkened was directly related to the quantity of $H_2S$ (${\mu}g$) with a high correlation coefficient ($r^2$=0.9997). The reproducibility of the $H_2S$ detecting tubes was determined with five repetitive measurements using a standard $H_2S$ solution [5.6${\mu}g$/200 ml (28 ppb)], which resulted in a coefficient of variation of 3.6% at this level of $H_2S$. With the sulfide detecting tubes, the production of $H_2S$ was continuously monitored and quantified from laboratory scale wine fermentations with different yeast strains and with the addition of different levels of elemental sulfur to the grape juice. This sulfide detecting tube technology may allow winemakers to quantitatively measure $H_2S$ produced under different fermentation conditions, which will eventually lead winemakers to better understand the specific factors and conditions for the excessive production of $H_2S$ during wine fermentation in a large production scale.

Sulfur metabolism in S. cerevisiae is well established, but the mechanisms underlying the formation of sulfide remain obscure. Here, we investigated by real-time RT-PCR the dependence of expression levels of MET3, MET5/ECM17, MET10, MET16, and MET17 along with SSU1 on nitrogen availability in two wine yeast strains that produce divergent sulfide profiles. MET3 was the most highly expressed of the genes studied in strain PYCC4072, and SSU1 in strain UCD522. The strains behaved differently according to the sampling times, with UCD522 and PYCC4072 showing the highest expression levels at 120 h and 72 h, respectively. In the presence of 267 mg assimilable N/l, the genes were more highly expressed in strain UCD522 than in PYCC4072. MET5/ECM17 and MET17 were only weakly expressed in both strains under any condition tested. MET10 and SSU1 in both strains, but MET16 only in PYCC4072, were consistently upregulated when sulfide production was inhibited. This study illustrates that strain genotype could be important in determining enzyme activities and therefore the rate of sulfide liberation. This linkage, for some yeast strains, of sulfide production to expression levels of genes associated with sulfate assimilation and sulfur amino acid biosynthesis could be relevant for defining new strategies for the genetic improvement of wine yeasts.

It is necessary to supply external carbon source for enhancement of biological nitrogen removal from domestic wastewater with low influent C/N ratio. Sulfide was chosen as a cost effective electron donor and reaction stoichiometry for autotrophic denitrification was investigated by conducting bench-scale experiments in this study. Higher sulfur to nitrogen (S/N) ratio than the calculated value from theoretical reaction stoichiometry was required when the anoxic reactor was operated at open condition because dissolved oxygen introduced by surface aeration reacted with sulfide with ease. In addition, higher sulfate production and lower yield of microorganism could be observed under the same condition. It was possible to obtain reliable reaction stoichiometry for autotrophic denitrification by establishing pure anoxic condition. Linear relationship between bacterial growth and consumption of nitrate, sulfide, alkalinity, and sulfate production enabled to derive a relatively correct reaction stoichiometry for autotrophic denitrification when sulfide was used as an electron donor.

The pulverized wastes originated from kitchen garbage grinder cause an additional load in sewage treatment plant and water environment. Therefore, several problems occur in sewer, such as microbial corrosion, odor, psychoda and fly interrupting flow of sewage etc. by their precipitation with earth and sand. This study was conducted on two experiments: hydrogen sulfide gas generation from sediments in sewer and anaerobic batch test. In anaerobic batch test, gas generation was increased when organic compounds were increased in concentration. Sulfide was decreased upon decreasing in sulfate concentration. In $H_2S$ gas generation test along the depth of sediments there were two different sampling sites which are apart from about 50 cm each other in a menhole. The one has the thickness of 55 cm from the surface, the other, of 60 cm. The hydrogen sulfide gas production rates were measured based on ranges from 0 to 10 cm, 10 to 20 cm, 20 to 30 cm for two samples. The results obtained were 1.08, between 0 to 10 cm in depth for the sample thickness of 55 cm and 3.07, 5.36, $5.42{\mu}g/g-VS{\cdot}hr$ in order of depth for the sample thickness of 60 cm, respectively.

The main object of this study was to offer information about incoming waste in landfill and to evaluate biochemical methane and hydrogen sulfide potentials of landfill wastes. We examined brick, soil, mixed waste (C&D waste and MSW) samples for the study. The leaching experiments showed that BOD, COD and sulfate were determined in the range of 0~18,816 mg/kg, 85~21,100 mg/kg and 160~1,205 mg/kg, respectively in 6hr extraction test. An accumulated extraction tests for 140day were determined BOD 226~197,219 mg/kg, COD 436~242,588 mg/kg and Sulfate 1,090~25,140 mg/kg. Also, BMP (biochemical methane potential) tests were carried out to examine methane and hydrogen sulfide yields for the 3 different wastes. As a result, methane yield was determined to 262.68 mL $CH_4/g$ VS of MSW and 0~17.75 mL $CH_4/g$ VS in brick, soil and C&D waste. Higher hydrogen sulfide yield was observed to 0.079mL $H_2S/g$ VS in C&D waste. This result indicate that brick and soil could be sources of sulfate, and higher production of hydrogen sulfide could be odor problem and inhibitor of methane production.

The structure of the scale formed on the surface of Fe - Cr - X alloys exposed to 1143K high sulfidation($Ps_2$ = 1.11$\times$$10^-7$ atm, $Po_2$ = 3.11$\times$$10^-20$ atm) or sulfidation/oxidation(($Ps_2$= 1.06$\times$$10^-7$ atm, ($Po_2$ = 3.11$\times$$10^-18$ atm) environment has been observed and analysed using XRD, SEM/EDS. To investigate the possibility of protective film formed on the surface of the alloys, Aluminium, Nickel were selected as alloying elements. Thermodynamic phase stability diagram was used to predict the reaction path of scale formed on Fe - Cr - X alloys. Parabolic rate constant($K_p$) value with 6wt% Al in Fe - 25Cr alloy decreased significantly compared with the Fe - 25Cr alloy without 6wt% Al. Since thin layer of defect free sulfide film, (Al, Cr)Sx, was formed at the alloy/scale interface. Fe - rich sulfide scale at outer layer and Cr - rich sulfide scale containing porosity at inner layer of Fe - 25Cr alloy have been observed. The reaction path for these scales could be predicted by the thermodynamic stability diagram.

Halitosis is caused by consumption of certain foods or drinks and production of volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs) by periodontopathogens. VSCs-related halitosis is not easily removed using mechanical or chemical therapies such as dental floss, plaque control and mouth rinse. Lactobacillus are known to be probiotics and stimulate immune systems of human. Furthermore, L. casei ATCC 334 and L. rhamnosus GG have an effect on protection of dental caries in vitro studies. The aim of this study was to investigate effect of Lactobacillus on halitosis by Fusobacterium nucleatum- and Porphyromonas gingivalis-producing VSCs and to analyze inhibitory mechanism. The periodontopathogens were cultivated in the presence or the absence Lactobacillus, and the level of VSCs was measured by gas chromatograph. For analysis of inhibitory mechanisms, the susceptibility assay of the spent culture medium of Lactobacillus against F. nucleatum and P. gingivalis was investigated. Also, the spent culture medium of Lactobacillus and periodontopathogens were mixed, and the emission of VSCs from the spent culture medium was measured by gas chromatograph. L. casei and L. rhamnosus significantly reduced production of VSCs. L. casei and L. rhamnosus exhibited strong antibacterial activity against F. nucleatum and P. gingivalis. The spent culture medium of L. casei inhibited to emit gaseous hydrogen sulfide, methyl mercaptan and dimethyl sulfide from the spent culture medium of periodontopathogens. However, the spent medium of L. rhamnosus repressed only dimethyl sulfide. L. casei ATCC 334 may improve halitosis by growth inhibition of periodontopathogens and reduction of VSCs emission.
